360: Chapter 360 One Hundred Million Spirit Stones

He truly could not believe that someone would dare to ambush them midway and kill all the Yao Race experts in a single move; such power was simply terrifying.

Just as Gou Feng's roar faded, a figure in black slowly emerged from the shadows of the forest. He stood tall, wearing a Profound Iron Mask, with thick and violent Demonic Qi swirling around him like a tangible tide.

"De-Demonic Qi?!" Gou Feng looked down at the Demonic Qi swirling around Hu Nan, his eyes filled with even greater horror, his pupils shrinking slightly, and his face a mask of disbelief.

"How can it be the Yao Race?" He was completely stunned. He had originally thought the ambusher was a Human Race Cultivator, but he never expected the opponent to be from the Yao Race as well, leaving him momentarily unable to react.

Hu Nan gave no response. A flash of spiritual light appeared beneath his feet, and his Speed surged instantly. Like a ghost, he lunged at Gou Feng, his Demonic Qi exploding as he quietly condensed sharp spiritual energy in his hands, clearly intending to strike directly.

Seeing this, the horror in Gou Feng's heart was instantly replaced by fury. He gritted his teeth, suppressing his panic, and roared at Liu Feng behind him, "Brother Liu, let's attack together! Take him down and find out his background; we can't let him ruin our great plan!"

Before his voice had even faded, Gou Feng moved. His spiritual energy erupted as he charged toward Hu Nan, condensing a burst of black demonic power in his hand, lunging with a fierce Aura.

Seeing this, Liu Feng did not hesitate and immediately replied, "Alright! Brother Gou, let's take him down together!"

As he spoke, his spiritual energy also erupted, and he followed closely behind Gou Feng, charging at Hu Nan. Though he appeared aggressive, he was actually prepared to act out the play with Hu Nan, deliberately controlling his strength.

In the next instant, the three figures collided violently in front of the Spirit Horse Carriage. Hu Nan fought against two, becoming entangled with Gou Feng and Liu Feng.

The loud booms of demonic power colliding with spiritual energy rang out continuously. Sharp shockwaves spread in all directions, kicking up gravel and withered grass, causing the Spirit Horse Carriage to tremble slightly from the impact.

Gou Feng's attacks were fierce and lethal, aiming to take down Hu Nan as quickly as possible.

Liu Feng, on the other hand, feigned attacks from the side, secretly coordinating with Hu Nan to make the fight look intense while never reaching a conclusion.

In the shadows of the forest not far away, Qin Changsheng stood wearing his mask, his cold gaze locked onto the three people fighting.

He quietly observed the battle. Seeing that Hu Nan had firmly entangled Gou Feng and Liu Feng—who, despite their fierce-looking attacks, could not break free—he knew it was the perfect time to strike.

Without any hesitation, Qin Changsheng moved. He darted out from the shadows like a ghost, carrying thick Demonic Qi as he charged straight for the Spirit Horse Carriage.

His movements were extremely fast. In a flash, he had approached the Spirit Horse Carriage, ignoring the sounds of the struggle behind him.

Gou Feng was fully channeling a Spell to attack Hu Nan when he caught a glimpse of a black-clad figure rushing toward the Spirit Horse Carriage, causing his heart to tighten instantly.

When he saw that the figure was surrounded by a powerful Demonic Qi—even thicker than Hu Nan's—and was heading straight for the carriage, his expression changed drastically.

He understood instantly that their target wasn't them at all, but the one hundred million Spirit Stones inside the carriage!

"Not good! He's going for the Spirit Stones!" Gou Feng shrieked, his fury instantly replaced by panic. He exerted a sudden burst of force, trying to break free from Hu Nan's entanglement to turn and intercept Qin Changsheng.

The Spirit Stones were of utmost importance. If they were lost, he would be unable to answer to Shen Guhong. At best, he would be punished; at worst, he would lose his life. He could not let the Spirit Stones fall into someone else's hands.

But Hu Nan had already received Qin Changsheng's orders and held Gou Feng in a death grip, giving him no chance to escape.

Hu Nan's Demonic Qi surged as his attacks suddenly became sharp and relentless, locking onto Gou Feng. No matter how much force Gou Feng used or how he struggled, he couldn't break free. He was even forced back repeatedly, leaving him no room to even look away.

Liu Feng feigned cooperation from the side, occasionally attacking Hu Nan.

While he appeared to be attacking Hu Nan with all his might, he was actually secretly hindering Gou Feng's movements, making it even harder for him to escape.

Gou Feng watched as Qin Changsheng's figure drew closer, only a few steps away from the carriage. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, yet he was pinned down by Hu Nan. He could only watch Qin Changsheng helplessly, his eyes filled with despair and resentment.

Within moments, Qin Changsheng reached the Spirit Horse Carriage. Without stopping, he waved his hand, releasing a burst of spiritual energy that flipped open the carriage curtain, and he leaped inside.

As soon as he entered, he saw ten bulging bags of Spirit Stones neatly arranged inside. Each bag emitted a thick Aura of spiritual energy, with Spiritual Qi overflowing; they clearly contained a significant amount of Spirit Stones.

A glint flashed in Qin Changsheng's eyes. Without hesitation, he stepped forward, picked up a bag of Spirit Stones, and with a slight probe, sensed the number of Spirit Stones inside!

He checked the other nine bags in turn. Each bag contained ten million Spirit Stones. Adding the ten bags together, it was exactly one hundred million Spirit Stones, just as he had expected.

After confirming the amount, Qin Changsheng wasted no more time. With a wave of his hand, he swept all ten bags of Spirit Stones into his Storage Space.

Looking at the one hundred million Spirit Stones he had obtained, Qin Changsheng's eyes were full of joy.

With so many Spirit Stones, he could enhance a treasure into a heaven-grade magical tool.

At the same time, he could cause the Yao Race soldiers on the front lines to mutiny.

This would leave the Yao Race soldiers unable to attack the Human Race.

Furthermore, it would cause Shen Guhong and the Yao Race's Grand Elder to become suspicious of each other.

He didn't stay a moment longer. With a move of his body, he flew out of the Spirit Horse Carriage and sped toward the distant forest.

Meanwhile, Hu Nan, sensing that Qin Changsheng had succeeded and retreated, immediately understood. He threw a feint at Gou Feng and Liu Feng, then instantly flashed backward, breaking out of their encirclement. Before they could react, he turned and fled toward the direction Qin Changsheng had gone, his Speed like lightning, vanishing into the forest in an instant.

Seeing this, Gou Feng trembled with rage, wanting to pursue Hu Nan immediately.

However, Hu Nan's Speed was simply too fast; even if he pursued with all his might, it would be in vain.

"Dammit..." Gou Feng smashed a nearby tree with a palm strike, breaking it.

At the same time, his whole body trembled slightly. The image of a furious Shen Guhong kept flashing through his mind, leaving him filled with endless fear and without the strength to even lift his head.

Liu Feng slowly walked up to Gou Feng, stopped, and asked, "Senior Brother Gou, do you know who took the Spirit Stones?"

Liu Feng's voice wasn't loud, but it was like a thunderclap, pulling the despairing and panicked Gou Feng back to his senses.

Gou Feng took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress his panic and despair as he quickly recalled the scene from just now.

Those two black-clad figures wore Profound Iron Masks and were surrounded by thick, violent Demonic Qi. Especially the one who appeared later—his Demonic Qi was incredibly powerful, far exceeding that of ordinary Yao Race Cultivators, and he could kill over a dozen Yao Race experts in a single move. Such strength was definitely not something an ordinary power could possess.

After a moment, Gou Feng had an answer in his heart and said, "Who else could it be but the Grand Elder's people?!"

He paused and said, "They had such powerful Demonic Qi and were ruthless in their strikes, showing no mercy. It was clearly premeditated."

"In the entire Yao Race, besides the leader, only the Grand Elder has such strength to send out such powerful subordinates who would dare to ambush us midway and intercept these one hundred million Spirit Stones!"

In Gou Feng's view, the matter was already clear.

Only the Grand Elder would know the route in advance.

And only the Grand Elder could send such experts to hijack the Spirit Stones.

Only the Grand Elder was at odds with Shen Guhong, coveting the Yao Race's power and constantly working against him in secret.

"Brother Gou is absolutely right. If it weren't for the Grand Elder, no one else would dare to be so bold."

"But this is a serious matter. We must return as quickly as possible to report this to the leader and let him decide," Liu Feng reminded him.

"Let's go, we're returning to the Sect!" Gou Feng nodded.
