Elder Jin gave Ye Xuan a look, now there’s only one Six-star Commander from the Demon Clan, the situation is favorable for them.
"Alright. But I fear we have other helpers."
Ye Xuan shook his head, then looked towards the stairs not far behind him. Urgent sounds came from there, the next moment, a tall crimson figure appeared in front of him.
It was the Flame Demon Commander.
"Little brat, let’s see where you can run this time!"
As soon as he saw Ye Xuan, the Flame Demon Commander’s eyes lit up, and he stomped towards Ye Xuan with a punch. As he moved, the air buzzed, twisted to the extreme, and cracks appeared.
Just as the fist was about to land on Ye Xuan’s head, a figure blocked in front of him, catching the punch. The scorching fist force quickly dissolved into nothing.
The one who intervened was Elder Jin.
"Demon, you can’t cause trouble here."
Elder Jin said indifferently.
"You cheeky one. Do you also seek death?"
The Flame Demon Commander seemed furious, just as he was about to strike, a voice suddenly stopped him.
"Mo Quan, don’t act rashly for now."
Among the experts of the Demon Clan, a Six-star Horned Demon Commander spoke.
Mo Quan hesitated and asked.
"Secure the treasure first, battle later. Breaking the temple’s prohibition is most important now. The prohibition power is too strong; without these humans, we can’t forcefully break it with our strength alone."
The Horned Demon Commander spoke again.
Hearing this, Mo Quan’s eyes flickered, then he coldly snorted, "Let’s spare your life for now."
With that, he moved towards the Demon Clan’s crowd.
Ye Xuan smirked coldly at Mo Quan’s harsh words; he was not some easy prey. Who would spare whose life was still uncertain.
"Enough talk, let’s act."
The indifferent Swordsman was somewhat impatient. He had already walked to the front of the great hall’s door and drawn his rusty long sword.
Seeing this, the rest tightened their gazes and moved to the door, starting to gather power.
"I’ll count to three, strike together!"
Elder Jin glanced at everyone and then activated his True Yuan, the massive waves quickly condensed in his palm.
As the count ended, everyone struck simultaneously, their assaults landing like sparks on the hall door, immediately activating the prohibition. The transparent prohibition rapidly twisted and deformed, and after being compressed to the extreme, it suddenly broke apart, revealing a large hole.
As soon as the prohibition broke open, Elder Jin and the others brightened up and rushed in eagerly.
As the group vanished, the prohibition gap rapidly mended, disappearing.
When Ye Xuan regained his sight, he saw a magnificent golden and azure hall. This hall wasn’t large, it could be seen entirely at a glance. Between the many lavish decorations, he could see two considerable waves radiating out.
Two treasures, respectively a person-sized orange crystal and a silver long spear exuding an aura of destruction.
"Upper Grade Holy Artifacts!"
Everyone’s eyes lit up and almost instantly felt the fiery tension in the hall. The next moment, Ye Xuan heard the sound of rushing wind; several figures shot out. Elder Jin, the indifferent Swordsman, and Mo Quan, along with the Horned Demon Commander charged forward, eager to seize the two Upper Grade Holy Artifacts.
Elder Jin was the fastest; he went first to grab the orange crystal. However, before he could reach it, he heard a roar like thunder, "Old fart, get lost!"
Mo Quan punched towards Elder Jin’s back, forcing him to turn and confront, abandoning the orange crystal.
For a moment, the scene was extremely chaotic, with more than a dozen Five-star and above Commanders fighting fiercely; the spectacle was grand.
Ye Xuan did not act; his gaze fell on the two Holy Artifacts, and he frowned. For some reason, he felt something odd about them but couldn’t quite pinpoint what was strange...
On the other side, the indifferent Swordsman struck the Horned Demon Commander with a palm and then looked at the silver long spear not far away, face suddenly joyful. The treasure was now his.
However, just as his hand touched the silver long spear, it suddenly flashed and vanished right in front of him.
His hand grasped air.
"Damn it! What’s going on?"
The indifferent Swordsman’s face sank; the duck in hand flew away. Even though he rarely spoke, he couldn’t help but curse now.
Almost simultaneously, Mo Quan also seized the orange crystal, a frenzy of joy appeared on his face, but the next moment, almost the same scene as with the Swordsman happened; the orange crystal flickered and vanished.
"Damn it, is this thing fake?"
Mo Quan’s smile froze, his lungs nearly exploded with anger. Repeated setbacks encountered, if there weren’t so many experts here, he’d unleash carnage to vent his frustration.
"Indeed, something’s wrong."
Ye Xuan revealed an enlightened look; no wonder he felt something was off. It turned out such advanced prohibition was placed on these Holy Artifacts. As soon as touched, they disappeared without the chance to retrieve them.
"Haha, everyone, isn’t my gift quite grand?"
At this moment, an extremely hearty laugh echoed in the hall. This laugh clearly didn’t belong to anyone present, yet the sound swiftly spread, reaching everyone’s ears.
Everyone was shocked and looked around, but found no figure.
"Don’t panic, I’m not your enemy; I’m the master of this hall, the one who gifted you these treasures." The voice sounded again, carrying a hint of mockery.
"The master of the hall? Could it be Saint Lord Qi Ye, wasn’t he dead long ago?"
Beside Ye Xuan, Kong Ruoshuang’s pretty face changed color as she said.
"Even if dead, leaving a trace of consciousness here is normal." Ye Xuan shook his head, "But this Saint Lord Qi Ye is really stingy; as far as I know, he was famous for having many treasures, and he only left these two Holy Artifacts with prohibition."
"The richer one is, the stingier they tend to be. Saint Lord Qi Ye is no exception, but he’s already dead; hoarding treasures is useless. Plus, since he let us in, it shouldn’t end just , right?" Kong Ruoshuang’s pretty face slightly sank, although a glimmer of expectation remained in her beautiful eyes. There should be more after this from Saint Lord Qi Ye.
