148: Chapter 148

“There are plenty of people who mock me; who do you think you are?”

Xiao Bai squinted and smiled at the Samadhi True Fire: “Go on, Huo Linger, I know you’ve been stifled.”

Huo Linger jumped out of the lotus platform, tumbling and leaping in the air, then flew toward the Netherworld Ghost Fire like a shooting star.

With just a tap of her small hand on the iron chains, like someone welding, she melted through all the iron chains released by Hua Feng and his group.

Hua Feng was furious: “You little brat, to actually release an evil thing like the Netherworld Ghost Fire, you are truly committing a grave sin.”

Huo Linger stuck out her little tongue at Hua Feng and stood in front of the Netherworld Ghost Fire with her hands on her hips.

The originally violent and raging Netherworld Ghost Fire instantly calmed down, retracting all thirteen blue fire snakes and turning into a small flame that kept bowing and scraping before Huo Linger.

This scene left Gui Jianchou and the group of the Ghost Clan behind him stunned.

Tian Kui waved at him: “Bring your clansmen over.”

Whoosh!

Even though Huo Linger was only the size of a thumb, she actually swallowed the Netherworld Ghost Fire in one gulp, then burped and licked her lips in satisfaction.

When she returned to Xiao Bai’s side, she didn’t forget to kick Hua Feng in the Face, leaving a red mark on his old Face.

“You little thing, how dare you launch a sneak attack? I, the Daoist, will destroy you.”

Hua Feng thrust his long sword toward Huo Linger, but the entire blade became incredibly hot and then completely dissolved into gas.

Hua Feng was heartbroken and clutched his head in pain: “My precious sword!”

He wouldn’t give up, but a Junior Brother beside him stopped him and whispered, “Senior Brother, let’s retreat!”

“This little flame is truly bizarre; it can easily melt an Immortal Sword. We have already lost the upper hand, and as the saying goes, as long as the green hills remain, there’s no need to worry about firewood.”

Hua Feng shouted: “You just wait, we will meet again.”

“Junior Brothers, let’s retreat.”

Since these Sword Immortals insisted on retreating, Xiao Bai and the others could do nothing; after all, their strength was evident.

Since they had already fallen out, there would be no need to be polite when they met next time; they would just go straight to fighting.

For this great favor of rescuing them from danger, Gui Jianchou led his subordinates to bow forty-five degrees to Xiao Bai to express their gratitude.

And he himself fulfilled his previous promise, dropping to his knees before Xiao Bai.

“Big Brother, please accept this bow from your younger brother.”

This sudden turn of events truly bewildered Xiao Bai, and he quickly stepped forward to help Gui Jianchou up.

“Old Ghost, what are you doing? We are all in the same boat, no need to be so polite.”

This action really surprised everyone present; in their impression, the Ghost Clan had the same nature as the Demon Race, perhaps even more cunning.

But Gui Jianchou had changed his usual behavior; he was a man of his word and took responsibility for his actions, which truly made them look at him with new respect.

If not for Tian Kui’s sake, Xiao Bai wouldn’t have wanted to wade into these muddy waters. He had never expected to accidentally subdue a Level 9 Ghost King like Gui Jianchou.

Actually, Tian Kui had already known about Gui Jianchou. At this critical juncture, she absolutely could not let the Ghost Clan defect to Hua Feng.

Otherwise, the Alliance would lose half its combat power in an instant, and the subsequent operations would be extremely difficult.

“Everyone, tidy up and set off immediately to find the demon emperors coffin. We must not let Hua Feng and his group get ahead of us.”

Gui Jianchou carefully recalled the situation from the last time he entered the Demon Emperors Tomb, and combined it with Magbi’s Feng Shui compass.

They finally confirmed the best route, while the two Ninth-Level Sword Immortals beside Hua Feng were hiding in the shadows, watching them.

Once Xiao Bai and the others discovered the demon emperors coffin first, they would send a signal to Hua Feng and his group; this was the safest method.

As long as the two Sword Immortals did not expose themselves, it would be difficult to discover them with their Cultivation.

“Old Ghost, it’s been ten thousand years. Are you sure this path is right? Why does it feel more and more wrong?”

Gui Jianchou frowned: “There is no other way now; we can only search according to my memory.”

They didn’t know how long they had walked in the passageway, but just as they were falling into despair, a light suddenly appeared not far ahead.

Magbi immediately jumped up and picked up the compass to check the direction.

“Good heavens, we have unknowingly walked to the very center of the Tomb. This is very likely the location of the main burial chamber.”

“Everyone be careful, I will go ahead and scout the path.”

Gui Jianchou took the lead, turning into a black liquid and flowing forward quickly. This skill was indeed suitable for scouting, as many traps and hidden weapons could do nothing to him.

If he discovered poisonous gas, he could quickly retreat.

The journey was quite smooth without any obstacles. He reached the place with light and shouted to the back: “Everyone come over.”

The magnificent and spectacular scene before them stunned everyone. The passageway had reached its end, and beneath the cliff was the Blood Moon Demon Emperor’s coffin.

The dome had a Big Dipper array, with the sun and moon on the left and right sides, both appearing blood-red.

The entire burial chamber seemed endless, and under the illumination of the sun and moon, the entire space was shrouded in blood-red terror.

In the very center floated a huge crystal coffin, pulled by nine incredibly thick iron chains, the other ends of which were deeply embedded in the stone walls.

Xiao Bai stepped forward to carefully inspect the thick black chains; each link of the chain was actually a black dragon, about as thick as Xiao Bai’s waist.

Just this one chain alone must have used countless black dragons, and there were eight other chains of different colors, each link formed by dragons of different colors.

“Damn, this is way more badass than the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin.”

“Just this chain of mine alone has at least several hundred, if not a thousand, black dragons.”

Ao Wuming exclaimed repeatedly: “Heavens, they actually used so many giant dragons of different colors to pull his coffin.”

Many corpses of large Yao Beasts floated in the air; they were all rare Yao Beasts, with various shapes and lifelike appearances, and even after so many years, their Physical Body had not decayed.

They had all been made into specimens to guard the Blood Moon Demon Emperor, including two double-headed giant pythons over a hundred meters long.

Chapter 196: How Dare You Hit My Wife

Over a hundred Yao Beasts floated in the air, escorting the coffin of the Blood Moon Demon Emperor.

The ground was piled with gold and silver jewelry like mountains, and a large amount of Spiritual Qi coins were buried within; each one was several times larger than the one in Tian Kui’s hand, meaning the Spiritual Qi contained within was at least several times greater.

Ao Wuming was extremely excited: “Wow, we’re rich! So many Spiritual Qi coins would be more than enough for all the Dragon Clan to use for a thousand years.”

Magbi’s eyes were practically turning into copper coins; he was only interested in the mountains of gold and silver on the ground. Just packing one bag to take out would be enough for him to enjoy a lifetime in the Elf Kingdom.

“Everyone has worked hard; without you, I, the Daoist, would truly not have been able to find this place.”

Hua Feng led his Junior Brothers flying on swords as they killed their way out from behind, circling in the air with covetous eyes.

He didn’t care for the treasures on the ground; his eyes were fixed straight on the huge crystal coffin, which contained a large amount of treasures.

They were all items used by the Blood Moon Demon Emperor during his lifetime; taking out just one piece would be enough to crush the strongest Immortal Artifact in Hua Feng’s hand.

Hua Feng wore a hypocritical smile: “You can pick whatever you want from the gold and silver jewelry on the ground, but give up on the treasures inside the demon emperors coffin.”

“Such treasures can only be possessed by the truly strong.”

The allied forces had gone through life and death to reach here; the original army of ten thousand from the Demon Race had been completely wiped out on the way.

All the Dragon Clan combined had several tens of thousands, but in the end, only about twenty Five-Clawed Golden Dragons arrived here.

The Ghost Clan also suffered heavy losses, and only Xiao Bai and Feng Yun remained of the Yao Race of the Xuan Tian Continent.

Seeing the treasures of the Demon Emperors Tomb right before their eyes, how could they give up? Although there was a lot of gold and silver jewelry on the ground, those were not rare treasures, not enough to make them travel thousands of miles and risk their lives.

Tian Kui, as the captain of the allied forces, was the first to state her position.

“I am very sorry, the Human Race is not included in this treasure hunt, as you have never provided any map fragments.”

“We have been the ones clearing the way and overcoming various difficulties along the way, and because of this, the various races have suffered heavy losses.”

“Of the allied forces of over two hundred thousand, fewer than two hundred remain now. If you want to sit back and reap the benefits, you must first ask if we agree.”

Hua Feng looked arrogant: “I must correct you, Saintess. Dreamscape Mountain does not represent the Human Race. We are Immortals who have attained the Dao, existences that you all look up to.”

“Since ancient times, the winner takes all, and the capable shall possess it.”

“If you Demons and Monsters don’t accept it, feel free to come at us and try.”

The demon emperors coffin was right before their eyes. Feng Yun clenched her fists tightly, wanting to rush over and snatch the Demon Emperors Blood Essence, but in the end, she restrained herself.

Xiao Bai cursed: “Screw your Immortals, if you want to fight, then fight; what’s with all the nonsense?”

Ao Wuming roared: “Let’s fight them! Aren’t they just Ninth-Level Sword Immortals? What’s there to be so arrogant about?”

The allied forces were all waiting for Tian Kui’s orders; since they had chosen her as captain, they would certainly follow her instructions.

Tian Kui said coldly: “Since the Daoist wants to bully the weak with strength, my Heavenly Demon Fox Clan will not sit still and wait to be slaughtered.”

“Dreamscape Mountain did not contribute to opening the Demon Emperors Tomb this time, so if you want a share, I cannot comply.”

Tian Kui gave an order to the fox demon beside her, and three Ninth-Level Demon Kings appeared out of thin air; they had been hiding their Cultivation all along.

Gui Jianchou, who had been a bit worried just a moment ago, smiled knowingly, the corners of his mouth turning up.

“As expected of our captain; the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Fox Clan indeed had a trump card.”

Currently, both sides had eight people with Ninth-Level strength. Hua Feng felt a lot less confident, but he still thought they had a better chance of winning, after all, they held Immortal Artifacts.

There were also six Junior Brothers who were all Eighth-Level Sword Immortals; it wouldn’t be a big problem to fight the other rabble.

The great battle was about to break out. Xiao Bai secretly took out the golden bowl and covered Magbi and his sister inside to ensure their safety.

Since he had promised to protect their safety, he must do it.

Furthermore, the golden bowl could not cause any harm to Cultivators; it served more as a defense.

Hua Feng shouted: “Junior Brothers, follow me to slay the demons and eliminate the monsters! The treasures must not fall into the hands of Demons and Monsters.”

“Kill...”

Tian Kui drew her sword to Face Hua Feng head-on, not backing down in the slightest.

“Let me experience the power of a Ninth-Level Sword Immortal.”

Gui Jianchou and Ao Wuming also joined the battle, each confronting another Ninth-Level Sword Immortal.

Both sides had eight top combatants in 1v1 confrontations, unleashing their respective ultimate skills in the spacious main burial chamber, using the simplest and most brutal way to decide the ownership of the treasures.

Xiao Bai only had the strength of a Sixth-Level Demon King, so he definitely couldn’t choose to go head-to-head with an Eighth-Level Sword Immortal. He preferred to hide in the back and be a sneaky bastard.
