Chapter 737 The Vicious Nest!
At this moment, Qian Renxue suddenly stepped forward, looked at the trembling war servant on the ground, and asked, "He is not Di Chong, so what should we do with him now?"
Before Shi Hao could speak, Luo Feng said first, "I think this person must be executed."
Lin Dong turned to Luo Feng and asked with a smile, "Sixth Brother, I didn't realize you were so ruthless. This guy has already begged for mercy, and you still want to execute him..."
"It's not that I'm heartless..."
Luo Feng calmly said, "The Immortal Palace has been targeting my elder brother. They have attacked us time and time again, trying to kill us. Since that's the case, we don't need to show them any mercy. Whether they are successors of the Immortal Palace or war servants, as long as they are from the Immortal Palace, they are our enemies. Being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to ourselves."
Qian Renxue nodded and said, "Sixth Brother is right. The people of the Immortal Palace deserved to die."
Qin Hao gripped the Silver Dragon Spear tightly, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes: "I support Brother Luo Feng. Killing him will also serve as a warning to the Immortal Palace."
Qingyi and Fengwu exchanged a glance but remained silent.
Behind them is the Tianxian Academy.
Sometimes, making decisions requires taking responsibility for Tianxian Academy.
Otherwise, it could very likely bring unnecessary trouble to Tianxian Academy.
Shi Hao remained silent for a moment, then looked at the battle servant on the ground and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
The Immortal Palace servant was trembling all over, his eyes filled with fear.
He knew he was probably going to die today, but he still wanted to fight for his last chance at life.
"Gentlemen, I am merely a war servant, acting under orders. I do whatever Lord Di Chong tells me to do; I have no choice. If you are willing to spare my life, I am willing to hand over all my treasures..."
Shi Hao looked at him, remained silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know how many bad things you've done for Di Chong, and I don't want to know, but you are a member of the Immortal Palace, and that is your original sin..."
"And... you said you were willing to hand over all the treasures you possess, but the problem is, after I kill you, those treasures on you can also become mine..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the broken sword in his hand slashed down.
"--puff!!!"
A gush of blood spurted out.
The head of the Immortal Palace servant rolled directly to the ground.
The opponent's primordial spirit tried to escape in the chaos, but Shi Hao immediately captured it with the Soul Banner.
Lin Dong sighed and said, "What a pity. If only we could have gotten the whereabouts of Di Chong's true form from him."
Luo Feng said, "He is just a war servant and may not know where Di Chong is. Even if he does, his words may not be credible. Killing him will solve the problem once and for all."
Han Li nodded: "Sixth Brother is right. We should make a decisive decision to avoid future troubles."
Shi Hao sheathed his broken sword and turned to look at the white palace: "Let's go in and take a look. Although Di Chong is not here, there should still be a lot of good things in the Immortal Palace's stronghold."
The group filed in and flew directly into the white palace.
The palace is more magnificent inside than it appears from the outside.
However, Shi Hao and his group were not interested in the interior decorations at the moment.
After searching the hall, the group quickly found the treasure vault where they had hidden their supplies.
This treasure vault is filled with all sorts of cultivation resources.
Elixirs, magical artifacts, pills, cultivation techniques, bone fragments, and even materials for refining weapons...
"We're rich!" Lin Dong's eyes lit up, and he was the first to rush forward.
Han Li quickly stopped him: "Fifth brother, be careful of traps. The people of the Immortal Palace are cunning. They may have tampered with the treasures."
Lin Dong stopped in his tracks upon hearing this: "Third Brother, aren't you being too cautious? That servant just said he was only here to keep things under control; he wouldn't be thinking of setting a trap."
"In short, it's always better to be careful..."
As Han Li spoke, he took out several array flags from his storage bag.
He activated the array flags and began to carefully search around the treasure vault.
After a while, Han Li straightened up and looked at everyone, saying, "There are no traps here..."
"I told you there wouldn't be a problem, right?"
Lin Dong excitedly rushed forward, picked up a spiritual herb, and stuffed it into the stone talisman.
Luo Feng also stepped forward quickly and began to count the treasures.
Qian Renxue, Cao Yusheng, and others were not to be outdone.
Everyone got to work and began plundering the resources in this treasure trove.
Even Honghuang joined the ranks of those transporting the goods.
A moment later, Shi Hao and the others finally emptied all the treasures from this immortal palace.
Looking at the empty treasure vault, Lin Dong rubbed his hands excitedly and said with lingering satisfaction, "The speed of collecting treasures is really fast. It would be even better if we could raid a few more strongholds. By the way... which one should we target next? Fire Cloud Cave? Demon Sunflower Garden? Or the Heaven Mending Sect?"
Luo Feng thought for a moment and said, "Fire Cloud Cave, shall we? People from that faction once attacked my brother. If we rob them, we'll have a legitimate reason to do so."
Han Li nodded in agreement: "The Fire Cloud Cave's stronghold in Bright City must be quite large, and they have close ties with the Demon Dragon Sect. Since we've already offended the Demon Dragon Sect, one more won't make a difference."
Lin Dong's eyes lit up: "Then it's settled. Let's go to the Fire Cloud Cave!"
Just as everyone was about to set off, Lan Yichen suddenly stood up.
He looked at Shi Hao, then at the others, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Fellow Daoist Shi Hao, everyone, if you only want to plunder precious medicines and resources, I do know a place where the treasures are more than all the strongholds of these forces combined."
Han Li's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Where?"
Lan Yichen lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "I heard about the Ten Fiends' lair in Bright City before. Not far from here, there is a lair of the Ten Fiends. It is said that it contains countless rare treasures and is the place where one of the ancient Ten Fiends fell. The treasures inside, in terms of both quantity and quality, far surpass the strongholds of these forces."
"The lair of the Ten Fiends?"
Shi Hao frowned.
He had never heard of this place before.
At this moment, Luo Dao continued, "I've also heard about this. Legend has it that the lair is the burial place of one of the Ten Fiends. Inside, there are not only the remains and inheritance of that Ten Fiend, but also various treasures he collected during his lifetime. However, it is extremely dangerous, filled with restrictions and traps. Countless cultivators have gone in to explore, but very few have come out alive. Moreover, even if they do come out, they usually don't get anything good."
Upon hearing the word "dangerous," Lin Dong became even more excited: "Danger is good! In places that aren't dangerous, all the good stuff would have been snatched up long ago. Brother Shi Hao, shall we go?"
Shi Hao didn't answer immediately, but looked at Han Li: "Brother Han, what do you think?"
After pondering for a moment, Han Li said, "I've heard a little about the Ten Fiends' lair when I was wandering around this city before. It's said to be the place where one of the Ten Fiends of antiquity fell. There are indeed countless treasures inside, but as Luo Dao said, it's extremely dangerous there. There are many restrictions, and even the remnants of the Ten Fiends' divine senses guard it. With our current strength, if we rashly enter, I'm afraid we'll be in grave danger."
When Lin Dong heard that Han Li wanted to back out, he immediately became anxious: "Then we won't go? Are we just going to give away so many treasures for free?"
