At this moment, Yuan Qingtian gradually appeared, and although his expression was calm, his eyes were filled with excitement.
Chen Chen got up from the bed and took out a strange stone from his storage ring and put it on the bed without saying a word.
Soon, there was a fast asleep Chen Chen who appeared on the bed and seemed to be sleeping peacefully.
As long as the Qingling clan successor does not barge in and climb into his bed in the middle of the night, she will never find out. He didn't care about what would happen tomorrow.
The stone that created the strange scene was called the Mirage Stone, a special product of the Illusions Department of the third division of the Demon clan, which could create an illusion in a specific area.
Since he had made up his mind to infiltrate the Wuxin Clan, Chen Chen was naturally well-prepared.
Last night, he visited many of the powerful and authoritative figures of the Demon clan.
When Yuan Qingtian assassinated Chong Ye, he was equipped with various terrifying poisons like the "Mortal's Wrath" and Chen Chen thought that since he was in the Wuxin Clan, he had to get some equipment.
"Senior Brother, what do we do about that Core Formation powerhouse outside the courtyard?" Yuan Qingtian asked with a murderous gaze in his eyes. Although he could not kill a Core Formation elder, he could still cooperate with Chen Chen.
"Ignore him," Chen Chen said while pulling out another packet of things from his storage ring.
He then scattered it in the air, which completely disappeared into nothingness after it merged into the air. Yuan Qingtian's heart jumped as he was frightened.
"Here's some Distraction Powder from the sixth division. It's colorless, tasteless and invisible, so the effects are limited to making one subconsciously distracted."
Chen Chen held his breath and explained softly.
After hearing what he said, Yuan Qingtian began to hold his breath too.
After about 15 minutes, Chen Chen brought Yuan Qingtian to the courtyard carefully. He took out the green beans and broke the courtyard's restrictions.
The two of them left the compound silently.
Most compounds in the Wuxin Clan were lit up late at night, with disciples patrolling from time to time. Looking at the various palaces, Yuan Qingtian was dumbfounded.
'How am I supposed to start?'
"Senior Brother, how about we snatch a disciple over and ask him where the treasure vault is?"
"Do you think a disciple would know?" Chen Chen questioned rhetorically, rolling his eyes.
"How about we catch an elder?"
"Get lost!"
Yuan Qingtian immediately shut up. He had already decided to do more and talk less today.
"System, which place is richer in spiritual energy?"
Chen Chen asked the system.
"Thirty meters on the far right," the system replied coldly.
To be honest, the concentration of spiritual energy within the thirty meter radius around him was almost the same. One would only be able to detect the subtle difference after reaching the Golden Core realm.
Follow me!"
Chen Chen led Yuan Qingtian carefully to the right, and it didn't take long for him to arrive at a courtyard.
There were no restrictions in the courtyard and it looked like the residence of some disciple.
As Chen Chen sneaked in quietly, he could even hear the faint voices inside.
"Chong Ye is dead! How wonderful! I have a chance to become the new successor of the Wuxin Clan! When the time comes, Senior Sister Qian can only submit to me!"
Through the faint light, Chen Chen saw a handsome-looking male disciple inside fiddling with his right hand while grunting with a grimace.
"True humanity shows only late at night…" Chen Chen was speechless and he then looked at Yuan Qingtian with a threatening gaze.
Seeing this, Yuan Qingtian sneaked into his room stealthily and killed the Wuxin Clan disciple with one strike.
Seeing that the odor of blood was beginning to spread, Chen Chen walked into the chamber, took out a bottle and poured its contents onto the corpse.
In a moment, the corpse disappeared into nothingness and the metallic odor of blood vanished without a trace too. There was even a faint aroma.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Qingtian was dumbfounded.
"What are you looking at!?! This is the professional Corpse Dissolving Powder of the corpse refinement division, a mandatory item!" Chen Chen said calmly as he put away the bottle.
"No… nothing, it's just that you're so skillful that it makes me a little scared." Yuan Qingtian shook his head, his eyes a little fearful.
Chen Chen glared at him and took away the meditation cushion that the Wuxin Clan disciple was seated on. He asked righteously, "You're a killer, what are you afraid of? On the contrary, It's the first time I'm doing this for the Demon clan and my conscience hurts now, do you understand?"
As soon as Chen Chen said that, he took out another human-sized puppet from his storage ring. It was burly and could fit two people.
"What…what is this?" Yuan Qingtian asked even though he didn't want to speak at first as he was unable to contain his curiosity.
"The digging machine of the Puppet Division. The front of the drill is a spiritual object that can absorb soil quietly. Hurry and get up!"
As Chen Chen spoke, the machine had already been drilled into the dugout and Yuan Qingtian was dumbfounded.
Under the motivation of the spiritual power, the digging machine quickly drilled into the earth, and when it sunk into the ground, Chen Chen walked out of the digging machine and covered the hole with the cushion. He then returned to the machine.
"System, which area within a 30-meter radius is the most dense in spiritual energy?"
"The soil thirty meters to the south!"
Chen Chen followed the instructions of the system and maneuvered the digger accordingly. He had to admit that it was very useful.
The spiritual object in front was continuously devouring the soil and discharging it at the back. The entire process was silent and several times more useful than the rumbling and noisy drilling machines!
"Senior Brother, where are we going?"
"The spirit meridian of the Wuxin Clan," Chen Chen answered indifferently.
Nowadays, he had no chance of tracking on a large scale, so he could only rely on small-scale tracking to continuously travel to the place where the underground spiritual energy of the Wuxin Clan was the densest, in hopes of eventually reaching the place where the spirit meridians of the Wuxin Clan were located.
"Ah! Spirit meridian! If…"
Yuan Qingtian's eyes were filled with shock and he dared not continue thinking about it. If something went wrong, the entire environment of the Wuxin Clan would change and that would disrupt the foundation of the Wuxin Clan!
He could even imagine the scene of being chased by the Wuxin Clan madly in the future.
After all, the successor and clan master can still be nurtured again but once the foundation was broken, it would be terrible.
Just as he was continuously imagining it, the digging machine stopped too and Chen Chen walked out of it in a space that was neither large nor small.
There was a stone wall in front of them.
To be exact,it was a huge Spirit Stone wall!
"We're going to strike a fortune… This is going to be worth at least 100,000 Spirit Stones!" Yuan Qingtian exclaimed with a deadpan expression, almost losing his balance.
Chen Chen glanced at him disdainfully and then took out two long swords from the storage ring, one of which was thrown at Yuan Qingtian.
"Start digging, this is a Spirit-Breaking Blade that is used for digging Spirit Stones."
After saying that, Chen Chen did not delay either and simply slashed the wall with the blade.
The Spirit-Breaking Blade was extremely powerful and it could slash the Spirit Stones like they were tofu. Soon, Chen Chen slashed to form a passage.
Seeing that Yuan Qingtian was still digging towards other places, Chen Chen scolded, expecting better from him, "Can you be a little bit more competent? What is there to dig in the low-grade Spirit Stones here? Follow me to the depths!"
"Okay… okay!" Yuan Qingtian answered frantically. At this moment, he was already convinced by Chen Chen and the only way he could express his respect is by following instructions.
The two men dug for about half an hour and dug about 50 meters deep into the passage. However, it was composed of Spirit Stones.
Yuan Qingtian was already numb to it now.
The underground mine of the Wuxin Clan had countless hidden Spirit Stones in the underground mine. The ones that he had seen along the journey probably added up to at least a million.
The deeper they went, the better the quality of the Spirit Stones and now, they were surrounded by medium-grade Spirit Stones of superior quality!
"There is only one medium-grade Spirit Stone meridian in the State of Jin… which is near the capital and is controlled by the Wuxin clan. I didn't expect the Wuxin Clan to have an even better one!"
Chen Chen exclaimed as he dug.
When he searched the Tianyun Mountains, he had also found its spirit meridian which contained a low-grade Spirit Stone mine.
However, when compared with this spirit meridian of the Wuxin Clan, it was simply inferior. It was no wonder the Wuxin Clan could maintain the operation of the illusion array all year round.
Just after sighing, Chen Chen dug his knife into the empty space and concentrated, only to find that a huge core space appeared in front of him.
"The spiritual energy here is so rich!" Yuan Qingtian could not help but exclaim after entering the space.
In fact, the spiritual energy in this space could not be described as rich, because it had turned into fog, and the entire space was filled with spiritual fog which blurred their vision.
Chen Chen stepped into the space too and under the guidance of the system, he quickly arrived at the center of this space.
In front of him, there was a huge transparent crystal that was the size of a house. In the center of the crystal, there was a striking and dazzling beam of colorful light which seemed to be concealing some extremely precious item.
Chen Chen took a deep breath and asked in his mind, "Syste where is the most valuable item nearby?"
"There is an earth crystal in the spirit meridian essence three meters in front of you, Host."
Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Yin Fiend Corpse Puppet
"Spirit Meridian Essence, Earth Spirit Crystal!"
Chen Chen muttered softly. He could tell from the names of the items that they were superior.
Since it was called a Spirit Meridian Essence, it meant that it was vital to this spirit meridian.
Humans would die without their souls, what would happen to the spirit meridians if they lost their essence?
While thinking about it, Chen Chen had already begun reaching his hand forward but at this moment, Yuan Qingtian who was near them suddenly yelled in horror!
"Damn it! What's this damned thing? I got a great fright!"
Hearing this cry, Chen Chen's movements came to an abrupt halt.
He had really been careless just now. If someone from the Wuxin Clan had come in and set up something inside, he would have triggered something by reaching his hand out.
"System, are there any traps nearby?"
"No."
After receiving the system's answer, Chen Chen was relieved and he walked towards Yuan Qingtian with his mind at ease.
"You're an assassin, why are you so timid?"
"Senior Brother, look! There's a coffin!" Yuan Qingtian answered softly.
Chen Chen's heart sank.
'Could there be some terrifying powerhouse sleeping here? If there is, wouldn't it be over for me?'
However, he was stunned and froze in front of the coffin.
This coffin was transparent and everything inside could be seen clearly.
There was indeed a person lying inside. To be exact, it was a humanoid creature that was wrapped in wool and their bodies were emitting an opaque light, resembling crystal jade.
That "human" had a distorted body and the various body parts were of different proportions than ordinary humans.
The more frightening thing was that he was squinting and grinning widely, seemingly laughing maniacally!
"Damn it! You scared me to death!"
Chen Chen cursed in his heart. He felt that that thing could only be described as a monster.
However, he remained calm on the surface and said coldly, "We the members of the Demon clan have seen all sorts of oddballs."
After saying that, Chen Chen asked the system in his mind, "System, who is the most powerful person around here?"
"It's you, Host," the system answered truthfully.
Hearing this, Chen Chen rephrased his question, "Where is the most powerful life-form in the vicinity?"
At this moment, he had already put Green Bean back inside the spiritual beast hide bag. Only him, Yuan Qingtian, and the monster in this coffin in the area full of mist.
"Host, one meter in front of you, there is a semi-finished Yin Fiend Corpse Puppet that is formed by the absorption of endless negative emotions such as greed, anger, obsession, resentment, hatred and evilness."
Hearing this answer, Chen Chen secretly lamented in his heart.
She could tell that the item was extremely impressive. The Wuxin Clan members cultivated the Supreme Wang Qing Dao but they used all kinds of negative emotions to secretly condense this evil thing underground!
"Senior Brother, what should we do? Should we get rid of it?" After Yuan Qingtian snapped back to his senses, he took out a dagger with a murderous intent in his eyes.
Chen Chen hurriedly stopped him while taking out a large bunch of things from his storage ring, including Dragon-Taming Wood and the Dragon-Slaying Sword which would ward off evil.
"System, is there anything around here that can exterminate this monster?"
"You, Host."
Me? How do I exterminate it?" Chen Chen was a little shocked.
However, that question was beyond the system's scope and thus the system did not answer.
Chen Chen stood in place and began to ponder hard.
"It should not be blood. Otherwise, the system would directly state so. Do I have to use many different means?"
After pondering for a moment, Chen Chen's gaze gradually became firm.
'This thing is going to be a variable. Since I can exterminate it, I'd better do so.'
'Otherwise, I can't be at ease.'
'I'll get rid of it while it's distracted!'
Since he had already made up his mind, Chen Chen summoned Green Bean without hesitation and broke the restrictions on the coffin.
After opening a crack in the coffin, a terrifying Yin energy emanated from inside, causing Chen Chen to shiver.
At the same time, a tyrannical intent surged to his heart, causing his eyes to turn red instantly!
Huff!
Chen Chen exhaled a breath of turbid air and shook his head. In addition, the Phoenix Blood Begonia Pendant that he had gotten from Xiao Huang after tricking her, emitted a red light in his arms, dispersing the evil energy.
"This thing is really evil!"
Filled with shock, Chen Chen turned to look at Yuan Qingtian who was near him.
"Qingtian, stand further away, this item is really strange. Only people like me who were hot-blooded, zealous, and have the ability to stay true to my heart, won't be affected!"
Hearing this, Yuan Qingtian hurriedly shunned far, far away to hide in the mist.
However, he had just absorbed some Yin energy just now and almost lost his rationality just now. If not for his Senior Brother, he wouldn't have known what happened.
'Senior Brother managed to restore his sanity after being attacked by the Yin energy. I'm amazed by his strong willpower.'
Seeing that Yuan Qingtian had gone far, Chen Chen felt a lot less emotionally burdened and he reached his hand into the coffin, after which a powerful lightning force burst out from his hand and blasted at the monster in the coffin!
Crack!
The lightning represented the heavenly might which was extremely harmful to evilness. After being blasted by Chen Chen's lightning, the Yin Fiend Corpse Puppet's smile became twisted and it seemed to be opening its eyes as they trembled slightly.
Bang bang bang…
The coffin also began to tremble violently with the change in the expression of the Yin Fiend Corpse Puppet. Upon sight of it, Chen Chen hurriedly pressed the coffin plate while desperately channeling his attacks.
"This doesn't seem to work!"
Seeing that the impact of the coffin was increasing, Chen Chen panicked and gritted his teeth before opening the storage ring.
All the items that would ward off evil were put to use.
He scattered the Corpse Dissolving Powder from the corpse refinement division.
The intense poisons of the Poison Division were also thrown into the coffins.
He put the cursed effigies given to him by the Witchcraft Division.
Next, it was the special potion used by the Demon division for painless self-recovery.
The insect-shaped attacking puppets from the Puppet Division were thrown in too.
…
Crack!
The coffin board trembled more and more violently, as if there were fireworks inside. Not only were they flashing, smoke was emitted continuously too.
The cold sweat on Chen Chen's forehead flowed down uncontrollably. He had already given his best, if he still couldn't kill it, he would curse the system even before his death!
Yuan Qingtian heard the movement from afar and said with some concern, "Senior Brother, do you want me to help? It feels so intense!"
Chen Chen hurriedly refuted, "Don't… don't… don't come over, this scene is too brutal, you will be traumatized if you see it!"
'What a joke, I'm still giving out lightning, what if my identity gets exposed?'
Seeing that the coffin board could no longer be pressed, Chen Chen quickly pulled out Green Bean and placed it on the coffin board.
His beady eyes were filled with some confusion and the tortoise shell had already been cackling because of the violent tremor of the coffin.
However, after sensing the Yin energy, Green Bean's eyes suddenly became cold, and his body then emitted a dark light.
Bang!
Green Bean stomped its forelimbs and the dark light immediately suppressed the coffin board.
The coffin board instantly closed and there was no longer the slightest trace of movement. However, there was still colorful smoke and flames darting out in all directions.
About three minutes passed.
The movement in the coffin ceased and the monster completely vanished, leaving only a pile of filthy liquid in the bottom of the coffin.
Immediately afterwards, the transparent crystal that formed the coffin slowly cracked while cracks began to form on the massive essence too before finally turning into dust.
Seeing this scene, Chen Chen vaguely understood something.
It seemed that the Yin Fiend Corpse Puppet had not only been absorbing all kinds of negative emotions, but also the power of the Earth Spirit Crystal through that crystal.
"I wonder if that commotion just now has attracted the attention of others."
Chen Chen was a little worried. Without saying a word, he went to the Earth Spirit Crystal and drew his Spirit-Breaking Blade.
Bang!
With a crunching sound, the Spirit Breaker Blade broke directly.
"…"
Chen Chen was speechless. He tried to move the Earth Spirit Crystal with all his might but to no avail.
Seeing this scene, Chen Chen made up his mind and pressed his hand on the Earth Spirit Crystal, maximizing his Innate Spirit Body. He started absorbing the power of the Earth Spirit Crystal!
The spiritual energy in the Earth Spirit Crystal was extremely pure and Chen Chen felt his Qi training level soar!
However, the light of the Earth Spirit Crystal did not become much dimmer. Looking at Yuan Qingtian and Green Bean from afar, Chen Chen exclaimed, "Green Bean, Qingtian, come here and suck some spiritual energy. We'll empty this thing out today!"
