#259 - Empty the Treasury
Han Bai was consumed by rage upon hearing this.
He swept his divine sense across the scene and discovered Li Chengfeng commanding the puppet army in a ruthless massacre.
Not even the Qi Refining stage disciples, let alone the elderly, weak, women, and children, were spared, which filled him with uncontrollable fury.
He roared, "How dare you! You actually dare to provoke me! I will soar to the heavens and slay this fiend!"
At that moment, Jia Hai stepped forward and said, "My lord, the item this fiend is seeking is in my possession.
It is because of this item that the fiend is carrying out this massacre. This treasure should be handed over to the elders for safekeeping, lest it be lost."
Jia Hai handed a tri-colored eyeball to Han Bai, saying, "Elder, this is the item.
I do not know what material it is made of, but since the patriarch values it so highly, it must be a great treasure."
Han Bai took the tri-colored eyeball and examined it carefully.
He did not know the origin or importance of this sphere, but since the patriarch valued it so highly, it must be extraordinary. He decided to personally safeguard this treasure.
This mysterious treasure contained immense power, apparently bound by an ancient seal.
Han Bai became deeply interested in it, but for now, he had to first kill that detestable Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.
This cultivator had caused trouble in Cold Moon City, creating a huge disturbance and countless deaths, which filled him with uncontrollable fury.
However, just as he was about to take action, a whirlwind suddenly appeared beneath Jia Hai's feet, teleporting him away.
Immediately afterward, countless cracks appeared on the tri-colored sphere in Han Bai's hand, and a terrifying energy erupted.
The power of this energy was so great that Han Bai felt a life-or-death crisis, but he had no time to dodge.
Although Li Chengfeng was commanding the puppets and casting spells, he was always paying attention to Jia Hai's movements.
Jia Hai was the main force in this operation, bearing the important task of delivering the tri-colored sphere to Han Bai, the Core Formation stage cultivator in seclusion.
When Han Bai received the tri-colored sphere, Li Chengfeng instantly activated the whirlwind beneath Jia Hai's feet, teleporting him away and detonating the Three-Yuan Burst.
The power of this Three-Yuan Burst was terrifying, equivalent to the combined energy of sixteen Core Formation stage cultivators' strikes.
At the moment of the explosion, Han Bai could not resist at all. With an angry roar, he was directly pulverized by the huge shockwave, and even his soul could not escape.
The entire secluded place was completely leveled, leaving a huge crater, and demonic energy soared into the sky. It was like an earthquake, and a series of loud booms echoed for hundreds of miles.
Buildings and houses within dozens of miles nearby all collapsed, demonstrating the astonishing destructive power of this battle.
The manager of the Treasure Pavilion had been paying attention to this battle, planning to record the situation and send it back to the Treasure Pavilion's headquarters.
He realized that this was not just an ordinary battle, but also a rare display of treasures.
He had never seen a treasure with such power, and its earth-shattering might shocked him.
He realized that this was important news that could be sold to bring more profit to the Treasure Pavilion.
Jia Hai miraculously survived the explosion. He had originally thought that he would perish together with the Core Formation stage elder Han Bai, but he did not expect to be teleported back.
He looked at Li Chengfeng with fear and admiration, because he had witnessed Li Chengfeng's astonishing strength.
Li Chengfeng ordered Bitter Sea to continue killing the enemy. He knew that such a large disturbance would surely attract the attention of the Cold Ice Mountain, and the Han family's pursuit team was also searching for him outside. Time was of the essence, and he had to speed up the pace of the slaughter.
At this moment, a cultivator team led by more than thirty late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators also swarmed over, having not been affected by the explosion.
After seeing the tragic state of the secluded place, they were filled with fury and angrily charged towards Li Chengfeng.
Although they did not know the specific reason, they also attributed their anger to Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng looked at the charging cultivators and sneered.
He immediately activated the Sword Formation. Demonic energy billowed, baleful aura soared, and sword energy swirled above the entire Cold Moon City.
Those Qi Refining stage cultivators fell from the sky like dumplings, and the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were also killed after resisting for a moment.
This was the power of the Sword Formation, which even a Core Formation stage cultivator would find difficult to resist, let alone these Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
Li Chengfeng dared not delay and immediately summoned the Soul-Devouring Worms, ordering them to devour the corpses.
He went straight to the treasure vault of Cold Moon City, which was where the Han family's treasures were located, protected by layers of formations that even Core Formation stage cultivators would find difficult to penetrate.
But Li Chengfeng had already planned ahead. He took out two tri-colored spheres and threw them directly towards the secluded place.
Under the teleportation of the whirlwind, these two spheres landed on the gate of the treasure vault. With a deafening explosion, the formation above the entire treasure vault was completely destroyed, revealing the entrance to the treasure vault.
Li Chengfeng stepped forward with the Life-Death Step and instantly disappeared, entering the treasure vault.
The treasure vault was filled with a dazzling array of treasures, most of which carried the aura of cold ice.
Li Chengfeng did not stand on ceremony. With a thought, he collected all the treasures into the Living World space. If it were anyone else, they would not be able to move so many treasures at all, because their storage rings could not store so much.
But Li Chengfeng had the Living World space, so wherever he went, all the treasures fell into his space like raindrops.
Before long, he had emptied the entire treasure vault, and all kinds of treasures, high-grade spirit stones, elixirs, spiritual herbs, magic tools, and magical treasures piled up like mountains.
This was the Han family's wealth accumulated over hundreds of years, and it was all emptied by Li Chengfeng alone.
Li Chengfeng quickly recalled all the Substitute Death Puppets, and only one-tenth of those cannon fodder-level puppet warriors remained.
Then, he waved the Soul-Devouring Banner and collected all the ghosts and ghost generals into it. The souls of those cultivators on the battlefield were also devoured by the Soul-Devouring Banner without exception.
At this moment, Li Chengfeng finally completed his great feat, leaving only the lonely Treasure Pavilion standing there.
He stepped on his flying sword, waved his hand to collect the Nine Great Blood Shadows, formation, and Evil Dragon Corpse Puppet, preparing to leave.
However, at this moment, a delicate shout came: "Li Chengfeng, how dare you! You actually dare to run wild in the Han clan, indulging in slaughter,
Killing so many people, it's simply demonic behavior! I must slay the demons and eliminate evil!"
The one flying over this time was Zhongli Meiying.
Hearing this voice, Li Chengfeng's expression changed drastically, but then he calmed down, because the other party's divine sense had not sensed his existence, which meant that the other party was still six hundred miles away.
However, he knew that he was no match for the other party. Zhongli Meiying was a genuine early-stage Core Formation cultivator, and there were many terrifying auras rushing towards this side, including other Core Formation stage elders of the Han family.
With a thought, a Substitute Death Puppet appeared outside, piloting the flying sword and fleeing at top speed, while he directly entered the Living World space to hide.
Seeing the treasures inside the space, he grinned from ear to ear. This time, he had really made a fortune.
Although he had spent tens of thousands of spirit stones, and all the warrior puppets he had made were scrapped, this harvest made him earn a lot of money.
All kinds of rare materials, materials for refining magic treasures, all kinds of spiritual herbs, and even some bones of alien beasts from the Cold Ice Plains, made him ecstatic.
What made him most happy was that there was even a gourd inside which was sealed a late-stage Core Formation soul.
That soul kept roaring and colliding inside, seemingly wanting to break free from the seal.
