Xiao Xiaoxian held out a plump steamed bun, and both Chu Yun and Bai Shasha were stunned.
No matter how hard they thought, they couldn’t imagine pulling a steamed bun out of a black coffin.
Imagine the imposing Night Emperor, ruling the world, sweeping across all directions, and suppressing an era. He was tall and mighty, mysterious and unfathomable, with eyes as sharp as swords, riding an Ink Qilin, surrounded by shadows, and emanating Emperor’s Might into the sky. He looked down upon the world, surveying all living beings, holding a Tribulation Demon Soldier in one hand, and a steamed bun in the other?
The thought sent a shiver down their spines. They felt the imposing and mysterious image of the Night Emperor crumbling rapidly in their minds. They quickly shook their heads, daring not to imagine further.
“Anything that the Night Emperor would put into a black coffin must be extraordinary. Even if it’s a steamed bun, it’s an extraordinary steamed bun,” Xiao Xiaoxian stated with certainty.
Chu Yun carefully took the steamed bun. He discovered that it was also sealed with Cultivation Methods.
“Could this steamed bun actually be a demonic creature?” The thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately stored it in his Immortal Pouch.
“Quick, keep searching, we don’t have much time,” he urged Xiao Xiaoxian.
Xiao Xiaoxian reached into the coffin again, searching meticulously.
Suddenly, his face flushed, and his breathing became rapid. “I’ve touched something slippery and greasy. But it’s held by the Night Emperor’s right hand.”
A glint flashed in Chu Yun’s eyes. He could imagine how precious this item must be. Even the通行令碑 (Passage Token Stele) was merely placed by his feet, yet this mysterious object made the Night Emperor refuse to let go even in death.
“Can you pull it out?” As soon as he asked, a loud explosion came from outside the tower. With a thunderous roar, it sounded like lightning striking dry land, shaking the earth.
Chu Yun’s face turned pale. The Ink Qilin, fierce and invincible, could not be stopped and had already broken through a Palace, causing it to fall. The Heavenly Constellations and Earthly Fiends Formation was missing a corner.
As for the two Jun-leveled powerhouses, the situation was even worse. The two Jun-level experts were slaughtering their way through, and the three beast hordes were already in a disastrous defeat, paying with countless lives. They were barely holding the two Jun-level experts back at a great cost.
“I’m trying to loosen it…” Xiao Xiaoxian was sweating profusely.
“Ugh… it’s so tight!” He gritted his teeth, sighing three times.
This was an extremely difficult task, requiring not only proper force but also a great deal of skill and caution to avoid applying too much pressure.
“Can you do it? If not, we’ll have to switch to another spot!” Chu Yun could no longer remain calm. This was a difficult choice.
“Almost, almost. Okay, I’ve pulled it out.” Xiao Xiaoxian was drenched in sweat, his entire body soaked.
“It’s too tight!” He didn’t even have time to wipe his sweat before complaining and pulling his hand out. In his hand was a Jade Slip.
It was a Jade Slip of the finest quality, its jade smooth and tender, like a beautiful woman’s skin. No wonder it felt slippery and greasy.
Chu Yun’s heart pounded. He took the Jade Slip and infused it with his divine sense. After a brief perusal, he stopped.
“It’s truly the complete version of the Grand Dao Great Method! It’s worth it, completely worth it!” He had seen many secret treasuries, but never had he been so excited.
As soon as he put the Jade Slip away, Xiao Xiaoxian exclaimed, “His other hand seems to be holding a scroll.”
A scroll comparable to the Jade Slip of the Grand Dao Great Method? What kind of treasure was this?
“It’s really tight!” Xiao Xiaoxian exerted all his strength, his face turning red with urgency, his body feeling hot.
“Don’t use too much force, calm down,” Chu Yun said quickly, noticing his strange expression.
Xiao Xiaoxian blinked, exhaled, and adjusted his emotions before trying again. This time, he struggled for twice as long as he had for the Grand Dao Great Method Jade Slip, but he finally managed to pull it out.
“Good thing I have good skills. Sigh, I’m exhausted. I’ve never been this tired!” Looking at the spoils in his hand, Xiao Xiaoxian said with a pale, wry smile. He felt immense pressure, like walking a tightrope over a cliff, with eagles circling around, and he had to act quickly.
This spoil appeared to be an unfurled scroll. Its appearance was dusty and unremarkable, lacking any allure. Chu Yun took it and was moved.
The scroll was covered in dense seals of Dao, numbering in the thousands. Chu Yun had never heard of or seen hundreds of these seals. The deepest ten seals were interconnected in a complex and marvelous way, and even Chu Yun had no confidence in breaking them.
What was recorded on this scroll that made the Night Emperor so cautious, even going to such lengths to place so many seals?
This remained an unsolved mystery.
“Not good. The two Jun-leveled powerhouses have broken through the defenses and have entered the tower.” At this moment, Chu Yun’s body trembled as he delivered the grim news.
As the two Jun-level powerhouses rampaged within the tower, Chu Yun had inadvertently cleared their path. Chu Yun only knew how to open passages with the passage token; he did not know how to close them.
Even with the Passage Token Stele now, it still required familiarization before it could be used. Being able to activate the Heavenly Constellations and Earthly Fiends Formation was already a remarkable achievement.
“Quick, we have six minutes left. I’ll try to grab one more thing!” Xiao Xiaoxian felt his heart about to leap out of his chest. This was like playing with fire. Facing two Jun-level powerhouses, they had no chance of winning.
“Damn it, I’m stuck, I can’t reach further in.” Xiao Xiaoxian reached into the coffin again but couldn’t feel anything this time. After all, the coffin lid had only moved by one-third.
“There’s no time, let’s go!” Chu Yun urged. In his mind, the two Jun-level powerhouses were rapidly ascending, moving incredibly fast, already reaching the twelfth floor!
Xiao Xiaoxian was still unsatisfied but extremely helpless, so he withdrew his hands. Chu Yun held the Passage Token Stele in one hand and grabbed Xiao Xiaoxian’s arm with the other, activating the Sky Crane simultaneously.
The moment the two Jun-level powerhouses reached the summit, they only saw two figures vanishing from the spot.
“Let those two little thieves escape!” Feiyu Sword Lord snorted coldly.
“They can manipulate space. Their demonic creatures are indeed rare.” White Bone Ghost Lord licked his lips, his eyes flashing with dark intent, filled with great unwillingness. In an instant, his gaze was fixed on the black coffin. A greedy light shone from his eyes, impossible to conceal.
“Don’t act rashly. This coffin likely contains a Dark Shadow Demonic Beast!” Feiyu Sword Lord quickly warned him. With their superior intellect, they had seen the blood-written messages on the walls along the way and had already guessed the truth.
“Of course, I know the gravity of the situation. It seems those two little thieves returned empty-handed. The real treasure was not obtained,” White Bone Ghost Lord sighed, his gaze subtly shifting towards Feiyu Sword Lord.
Under the immense pressure of the Ink Qilin, the two were forced to cooperate. Now, with a great treasure present, they each had their own agendas.
If the Dark Shadow wasn’t protecting the coffin, they likely would have already come to blows.
Under White Bone Ghost Lord’s stare, Feiyu Sword Lord’s expression suddenly changed. “Damn! We’ve been tricked!”
Though his words were abrupt, Jun-level powerhouses were all exceptionally wise. White Bone Ghost Lord immediately understood Feiyu Sword Lord’s concern.
If the other party was acting, controlling the Night Emperor City and hindering the Ink Qilin, then…
“Roar!”
An enraged roar suddenly erupted. The faces of the two Jun-level powerhouses turned ashen. Without even looking, they guessed that the Ink Qilin had been released from the formation by the other party.
“Hehehe! The Sect Master is indeed brilliant! While the Ink Qilin was tangled with those two Jun-level experts in the tower, we entered the other palaces and began a grand plunder!” Inside the Golden Sand Palace, Xiao Xiaoxian stood beside Chu Yun, grinning slyly.
With the Passage Token Stele and the Sky Crane, they could ignore any protective measures and easily enter any part of the Night Emperor City.
“Are we being a little too greedy? Now is the best time to leave,” Bai Shasha said, her face pale with worry. They had been hiding in the Golden Sand Palace just now, and having come into close contact with the Ink Qilin, its terrifying power was deeply imprinted in their hearts.
“Should we leave or continue looting?” Chu Yun hesitated. Through the Passage Token Stele, he knew that the two Jun-level powerhouses were blocked in the high tower, fighting the Ink Qilin, which had transformed into human form. These two had centuries of experience and deep foundations, and surely possessed trump cards, so they could still hold them off for a short while.
With the Passage Token Stele and the Sky Crane in hand, the wealth of Night Emperor City was within their grasp. Should they stay and take more risks?
“It’s best to know when to stop. As long as we have the token and the Sky Crane, even if the Dunhuang Sand Eye closes, we can still pierce through space and arrive here at any time. There’s no need to rush. After consolidating these gains, our strength will grow significantly. We’ll have a better chance of success when we come here again,” Chu Yun finally decided to stop. He felt uneasy, a nagging feeling that something was amiss.
A truly excellent treasure hunter knows when to advance and when to retreat. They must not be like Xiao Xiaoxian, insatiably greedy and lacking in judgment.
“Bad! We have to leave quickly. Feiyu Sword Lord and the Ink Qilin have reached an agreement, and they are leaving the tower to find us.” Chu Yun’s tone suddenly became serious. His uneasy premonition had quickly become a reality.
“Ah!” everyone cried out in alarm. This was devastating news. Wouldn’t this mean they would have to face the combined might of the Ink Qilin and the two Jun-level experts?
“You two little thieves, if you know what’s good for you, get out here!” White Bone Ghost Lord roared in extreme anger, his voice like thunder rolling through the skies of Night Emperor City.
“Thieves who stole the stone tablet, you can never escape! Come out and accept your death!” This clear voice came from the Ink Qilin, which had transformed into human form, appearing as a delicate young man with long black hair. However, his aura was awe-inspiring, making one tremble.
He was furious that such cunning thieves had taken advantage of the chaos to enter the top floor of the high tower and steal the passage stone tablet. This meant that the Night Emperor City would change hands!
“If you two show yourselves willingly, I, Feiyu Sword Lord, might be able to plead for mercy on your behalf and spare your lives.” Feiyu Sword Lord’s words were even more sharp, piercing directly at the most vulnerable point of their hearts.
these three had already exited the tower and ascended into the air, overlooking the entire Night Emperor City. Even if Chu Yun and the others wanted to escape now, it was too late!
