Along the way, they had no impression of Xiao Chen at all. He was like an invisible person. How could they have any confidence in him?
"Pu ci!"
Just as the group discussed what to do when they went to the Heavenly Evil Gate, Xiao Chen took a step back and instantly executed the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram.
The Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram flew out from top to bottom. Under Xiao Chen's command, it slowly pressed down.
The Nascent Flame, which was tightly blocking the entrance, slowly pressed down. After a while, the entire Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram stuck to the ground. The blocked entrance in front became empty, appearing before the group's eyes.
The stout man was somewhat dumbfounded. Xiao Chen actually managed to suppress this Nascent Flame. What the peak Inferior Grade Martial Sages could not do, Xiao Chen did.
When Xiao Chen entered, joy flashed in the eyes of the group, and they quickly flew in.
"Little Friend Xiao Chen, it is all thanks to you this time. Don't worry. If we really find a King Grade Secret Treasure, this old man will guarantee that we will give you one."
Elder Peng rejoiced. He had not expected this move of his to be useful at the crucial moment, suppressing the Nascent Flame. So he immediately guaranteed to Xiao Chen.
Two lights flashed, and the Purple Thunder True Fire and the Lunar True Flame entered Xiao Chen's eyes. The Nascent Flame, which was suppressed to the ground, soared up again.
The stout man smiled and said, "Little Friend, it looks like you are quite capable. This Feng is sorry for offending you earlier. If we find a King Grade Secret Treasure this time, we will definitely let Little Friend choose one first."
The others also guaranteed to let Xiao Chen choose first.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and casually said a few words, not saying anything more. The Nascent Flame blocked the way once more. If they could not find another exit, they would have to rely on him.
These people were all smart people. They understood Xiao Chen's current value. Although his cultivation was not high, no one dared to underestimate him anymore.
The Heavenly Secrets Gate's Old Man Liu said, "Let's go quickly. If Lu Weiping has already left through another entrance, we will be in big trouble."
The few of them came to their senses and hurriedly used their movement techniques to move forward. Along the way, they could see all kinds of broken mechanical beasts and traces of battle. There was no need to worry about how to find their way.
Sou sou sou!
When a peak Inferior Grade Martial Sage executed his Movement Technique at full power, he kicked up a strong wind. Even though Xiao Chen executed Thunder Dragon Steps, he could still keep up easily.
Xiao Chen's Movement Technique was no weaker than these Martial Sages'. In fact, when he used his full power, he even had a slight advantage. This made him feel more confident.
Finally, in an extremely spacious stone chamber, they finally saw Lu Weiping's figure.
The stone room was hundreds of meters wide and thousands of meters long. At the end of the room was a praying mat, where a skeleton sat cross-legged, wearing a black robe.
Lu Weiping had already removed the spatial ring from the skeleton's hand and was now carefully examining the treasures inside.
There were some unknown pieces of metal, Secret Treasures of various shapes, some jade bottles, and a black beast-skin letter.
Xiao Chen stared at the black beast-skin letter. This was the letter that the Evil King carried with him before he died. Perhaps the secret of the seven thrones was in it.
There were also many other treasures. However, they did not match the identity of an ancient Sovereign Martial Emperor. It looked like the rumors were right. There was indeed something strange about the Evil King's death.
"Lu Weiping, unexpectedly, you even dare to deceive this old man, wanting to monopolize the treasures that the Evil King left behind!"
Elder Peng shouted at Lu Weiping furiously as he led a group of people over.
The others spoke up as well. At this moment, they had the advantage in numbers. Furthermore, Elder Peng was someone who could fight against a Medial Grade Martial Sage. They did not fear Lu Weiping at all.
This was especially so for the stout man. Murderous intent filled his eyes as he stared at Lu Weiping with malicious intent.
However, Lu Weiping did not show any panic on his face. When he saw the confident group of people, his old face twitched. He said, "I am the Sect Master of the Heavenly Evil Gate, a descendant of the Evil King. If his treasures are not mine, could it be yours?"
Elder Peng's face sank. This Lu Weiping was completely prepared to fall out with them. However, there were so many people on his side. Where did he get his confidence from?
The stout man said angrily, "Why are you speaking so much nonsense with him? Since he is not going to cooperate, then we will just go up and destroy him."
When Elder Peng saw that the stout man was about to charge forward, he quickly stepped forward to stop him. "Don't act rashly. We can still negotiate. Brother Lu, speak … ah!"
Before Elder Peng could finish speaking, he suddenly cried out miserably and vomited a large mouthful of blood. A dagger had pierced through his back and pierced his heart, revealing a small part of his chest.
The exposed tip of the dagger had clearly been smeared with a horrifying poison. Now that it pierced his heart and contaminated him with poison, Elder Peng would definitely die.
Elder Peng turned his head to see who attacked him from behind. However, the person who sneak-attacked him directly punched his head.
Lu Weiping, who was in front, smiled coldly and attacked at the same time. Using his cultivation as a Medial Grade Martial Sage, he instantly severely injured the stout man beside Elder Peng.
The situation in the field suddenly changed.
"Brother Liu, what's wrong with you?!"
The sudden reversal of the situation made the remaining middle-aged beautiful woman and the skinny old man turn pale with fright and their minds go blank.
The person who sneak-attacked them from behind was none other than the old man with the family name Liu from the Heavenly Mystery Gate. In an instant, he killed the defenseless Elder Peng.
The matters of the world were always thought-provoking. Originally, Elder Peng and Lu Weiping were on the same side. The two of them were very powerful, so the others were forced to work together.
However, Lu Weiping broke the agreement, wanting to take the Evil King's inheritance for himself. This caused Elder Peng to betray them halfway.
Originally, everyone thought that the situation was clear. Everyone would work together to deal with Lu Weiping, who broke the agreement, and then split the Secret Treasures evenly.
Everyone could not wrap their heads around all this. However, from a spectator's point of view, they could figure out the mysteries behind it after some analysis.
This was the second time Lu Weiping was searching for treasures. He no longer needed so many people. He only needed the old man with the family name Liu.
Splitting the treasures with two people would be better than splitting it with seven or eight people. Naturally, the old man with the family name Liu agreed. Furthermore, Lu Weiping did not intend to let the others off, either.
If the old man did not kill them, they would come to the Heavenly Evil Gate to settle scores with him. That would be problematic. Hence, the scene before them.
The skinny old man and the middle-aged woman reacted immediately. Without saying anything, they turned and ran. Now that it was two against two, even without the old man with the family name Liu, Lu Weiping could kill them alone. How could they not run?
Lu Weiping smiled coldly and said, "I'll go and deal with these two. I'll leave that brat to you."
The old man with the family name Liu nodded to indicate that there was no problem. Then, he looked at Xiao Chen casually and said, "Do you want me to do it, or do you want to commit suicide? That way, it might be less painful."
After saying that, the old man with the family name Liu kicked casually and tossed Elder Peng's corpse towards Xiao Chen.
The corpse flopped on the ground twice before landing at Xiao Chen's feet. As Xiao Chen looked at the headless corpse, he could not help but sigh.
Elder Peng was a peak Inferior Grade half-Sage. When he consumed some Medicinal Pills that Xiao Chen refined, even a Medial Grade Martial Sage could not do anything to him. However, the hearts of people were hard to predict. Even in death, Elder Peng probably did not know who sneak-attacked him from behind.
How could a teammate with similar interests betray him at the last moment? Furthermore, he attacked so quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly?
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at the old man with the family name Liu, who seemed certain that he would be killed. He said, "Commit suicide? Sorry, but you killed an inner sect elder of my Haotian Sect. This Xiao will not die until I take your life as a sacrifice. "
The old man with the family name Liu smiled coldly and said, "Kill me? Are you out of your mind? I am only one step away from becoming a Medial Grade Martial Sage. You are just a half-Sage, and yet you dare to speak to me like that?"
Xiao Chen's lips curled up as he mocked, "Will you be stuck at this step for fifty years, seventy years, or one hundred years?"
"You are seeking death!"
Xiao Chen's casual attitude finally angered the old man with the family name Liu. He leaped up, and his Heavenly Sage Laws flowed out of his body, forming fiery-red ribbons of light.
From a distance, they looked like long whips made of intense flames dancing around. When the old man arrived, a horrifying heat surged over. Waves of flames covered the sky.
Xiao Chen wanted to test the difference between him and a peak Inferior Grade Martial Sage. He did not dodge or dodge. Instead, he infused his Heavenly Sage Laws into his palm.
Xiao Chen clenched his fist tightly, and a dazzling electric light burst out.
"Bang!"
When the fist and palm met, there was an intense ear-splitting sound. Xiao Chen took ten steps back, moving a hundred meters with each step. Then, his feet sank, and he landed firmly on the ground.
Xiao Chen frowned. In terms of explosive power, the difference between him and a peak Inferior Grade Martial Sage was obvious. However, it was not as if he could not put up a fight.
By relying on his Rank 2 Sage Body, he could clash head-on with the other party without any fear. However, there was still Lu Weiping, a bona fide Medial Grade Martial Sage, behind him.
He had to end this battle quickly. Otherwise, Xiao Chen would not be able to carry out his plan.
When the old man with the family name Liu saw that Xiao Chen only moved back five hundred meters after receiving his palm strike, his complexion remained normal. He did not even suffer any light injuries, he could not help but feel apprehensive.
Not daring to be careless, the old man with the family name Liu brought out his full strength. The Heavenly Sage Laws behind him burned fiercely, forming an overwhelming flame.
The temperature in the stone room soared. Several objects could not withstand the high temperature and burst into flames. The air was terrifyingly dry.
Xiao Chen could not help but circulate his Quintessence to resist the intense heat. In terms of pure cultivation, older-generation cultivators were indeed horrifying. Xiao Chen could not use his cultivation to deal with such a situation.
"Berserk Weapon Blazing Palm!"
The old man with the family name Liu shouted, and his clothes fluttered. His face flushed red, and his aura pressed down like a mountain. Unexpectedly, he used all his treasures on this move.
The boundless flames behind the old man turned into beams of fiery light and entered his right arm.
Before Xiao Chen's shocked gaze, the other party's red arm suddenly exploded.
The arm turned into a huge flaming bracelet attached to the old man's shoulder and smashed towards Xiao Chen. This huge flaming hand was not symmetrical to the old man with the family name Liu's body.
It looked like the arm of an ancient giant had been forcefully attached to a human's body. The old man with the family name Liu swung this huge hand. When the old man raised his hand, he silently melted a deep, arm-shaped pit in the ceiling of the stone room.
