"Zhou Xing …"
Yan Chutian muttered to himself. His eyes gradually narrowed, and a cold glint flashed across them. There was no possibility of reconciliation between him and Zhou Xing. Zhou Xing had destroyed his family, and he had also used the Beast Puppet from the God Realm to kill Zhou Teng. Thus, there was only one possibility for the two of them to meet. Either one of them died.
At the same time, she felt the aura of the man beside her gradually become extremely sharp, like the edge of a blade. Mu Wan subconsciously restrained her original temper. She could guess that there must be some relationship between the two of them and Yan Chutian, and this relationship was not a good one.
Several breaths after the two of them left, Yan Chutian and Mu Wan jumped down from the giant tree. Feeling the sharp aura around her, Mu Wan finally could not help but ask softly, "You … know those two?"
Yan Chutian did not hide anything from Mu Wan. After all, she even knew his most important secret. Compared to that, what was his enmity? Thus, he nodded lightly and followed in the direction that Zhou Xing and Yang Hong had left.
"Give me some time. It won't be too late to go to the Central Plains after I've dealt with them."
"Then … I'll go with you too."
Although she was hesitant, Mu Wan hurriedly spoke up and followed Yan Chutian's footsteps. The two of them followed the tracks together.
Completely unaware that two spirits were secretly watching them, Zhou Xing and Yang Hong continued to search everywhere, looking for the mark on the tattered map. As if the heavens did not let down those who persevered, after searching day and night, they finally found a strange place on a slope.
Zhou Xing's heart burned with passion. Looking at the slope, he hurriedly circulated the spiritual energy in his body. Spiritual light surged, and a powerful whirlwind spread out, lifting up the soil on the ground. After the soil was lifted up, a giant hole about ten feet wide appeared before their eyes.
Looking into the hole, they saw a stone staircase extending downwards, leading to an unknown darkness underground.
"Senior Brother Zhou Xing, we found it!"
Yang Hong looked at the black hole in front of him and was pleasantly surprised. Since the markings on the map were real, there must be something hidden underneath. For a Yuanying realm cultivator to create a map to record something, it must be extremely precious to them.
No matter if it was an inheritance or a lost treasure, they could be said to be priceless and comparable to the ultimate treasures of their sects!
Although Zhou Xing's reaction was not as extreme as Yang Hong's, his eyes were already burning with passion. He then lit a torch and impatiently walked into the underground cave, following the stone stairs that had been silent for an unknown period of time in this dark underground cave.
A few breaths after Zhou Xing and Yang Hong entered the cave, Mu Wan and Yan Chutian also appeared at the entrance of the cave. Yan Chutian first looked at the hole in the ground in confusion, and then his expression gradually became clear.
Thinking about it carefully, how could he not know that Zhou Xing was most likely here to seek treasures? The tattered scroll in his hand was the best evidence. At this time, they had obviously found a treasure ground and could not wait to search for it.
Looking at the darkness at the entrance of the cave, a cold smile gradually appeared on Yan Chutian's slightly immature face.
I was worried that I could not find a way to make you suffer, but you delivered the method to me. Thinking about it, when you think you are about to find treasures, I will suddenly send you from heaven to hell. You will definitely experience great pain, right?
…
Zhou Xing did not know how long he had been walking down the stone stairs before a ray of light finally appeared in front of him. Continuing to walk down the stone stairs and into the light, Zhou Xing found that he had stepped into a stone room, and the source of the light was a mountain of Spirit Crystals piled up around the stone room.
Even as a sect disciple, Zhou Xing could not imagine such a huge number of Spirit Crystals. At least, the treasuries of the sects that he had entered before did not have such a huge number of Spirit Crystals.
As for Zhou Xing, he had never seen so many Spirit Crystals, let alone Yang Hong who was beside him. At this time, Yang Hong's face was full of shock. He stared at his surroundings and only felt dizzy. So many Spirit Crystals was an amount that he could not imagine!
"Senior Brother Zhou, so many Spirit Crystals, we …"
Yang Hong was pleasantly surprised, but when he spoke, he suddenly saw that Zhou Xing was no longer staring at the Spirit Crystals around him, but at a square platform in the middle. An ancient book, a Qiankun bag, and a long golden mace were quietly placed on the square platform.
At this moment, even without Zhou Xing's words, two words immediately popped up in Yang Hong's mind — inheritance!
He did not expect that the map marked was actually an inheritance!
"Senior Brother Zhou …"
Yang Hong cried out involuntarily. This time, Zhou Xing's loud laughter rang out and reverberated in the stone chamber. He stared at the square platform, knowing that his opportunity to rise had arrived.
After laughing for a long time, Zhou Xing slowly retracted his gaze from the square platform and turned to Yang Hong beside him. His eyes gradually narrowed as he said softly, "Junior Brother, I really have to thank you for being able to find such a huge inheritance."
"Senior Brother Zhou, you are welcome. After all, we …"
Yang Hong replied with a flattering smile, but before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. He lowered his head and saw that a gleaming white dagger had been stabbed into his abdomen, and fresh blood was flowing out.
Who else could the owner of this dagger be other than Zhou Xing!?
"Senior Brother Zhou, you …"
Yang Hong's face was filled with disbelief. He could not understand why he was willing to hand over the map just to follow behind Zhou Xing and drink some soup. However, he was still killed!
"Haha … Junior Brother, I know that you are unwilling, but the fact that I obtained the inheritance must not be leaked. So, I can only trouble you to become a dead man and keep it a secret for me!"
Zhou Xing's expression was cold. He increased the force in his hand and ruthlessly stabbed the dagger into Yang Hong's abdomen. He then abruptly pulled it out, causing fresh blood to spurt out.
Yang Hong's mouth and nose were bleeding, and he fell to the ground in a sorry state. Before he died, he could only use the last of his strength to point at Zhou Xing and gnash his teeth in resentment. "Zhou Xing, you … you will die a horrible death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he completely stopped breathing and became a real corpse.
However, Zhou Xing did not care about the threat he used the last of his strength to say. From Zhou Xing's point of view, he was clearly blessed with good fortune, and the powerful inheritance was right in front of him. As long as he endured for a while after obtaining the inheritance, he would definitely become a powerful cultivator in the future. It would not be a problem for him to stand shoulder to shoulder with the sect leader.
At that time, the people in this area would have to respect him as the king, and he would be able to call for wind and rain whenever he wanted!
