It turned out that within this stone chamber, there was another cave.
Furthermore, within that cave lay a secret treasure vault, holding the foundations of the Yun Lan Sect!
"Hahaha… Han Yun, you truly sent me a great gift!"
"If I can find the secret treasure vault and obtain the treasures within, my strength will surely skyrocket!"
Zhou Yan was in high spirits, laughing repeatedly.
At this moment, he could hardly contain himself, ready to rush into the cave immediately to claim the treasure and leave.
However, just then.
Suddenly—
Zhou Yan's heart trembled, as if he sensed something. He quickly turned his head to look and saw a pill lying quietly in a corner of the mountain's interior.
"This… is Han Yun's Purple Gold Blood Pill?!"
Zhou Yan recognized it at a glance.
Han Yun had swallowed the Purple Gold Blood Pill before his death to heal his wounds and recover!
However, Han Yun never dreamed that the Purple Gold Blood Pill he swallowed would be destroyed by his own hands!
"Haha… Han Yun, you wanted to use this pill to break through your bottleneck? Dream on!"
"You foolish donkey, you were ultimately outmaneuvered and died at my, Zhou Yan's, hands!"
At this moment, Zhou Yan felt immense joy and satisfaction.
Originally, according to Zhou Yan's plan, he intended to wait for Han Yun to die of old age and then, amidst the chaos, sneak attack, seize the treasure, and take everything Han Yun possessed!
Who could have predicted that Han Yun would leave behind such a Purple Gold Blood Pill!
Moreover, the most crucial point was that the Purple Gold Blood Pill chose to explode precisely at this moment, utterly vanishing without a trace!
Zhou Yan secretly rejoiced, cursing Han Yun's foolishness.
This Purple Gold Blood Pill, why explode now and not earlier or later!
It was clear that Han Yun had designed a trap for himself, but in the end, it benefited Zhou Yan.
"So, the fluctuations in energy I sensed earlier were due to the explosion of the Purple Gold Blood Pill?!"
At this moment, Zhou Yan's eyes narrowed: "If that's the case, then it proves that the restrictions in this cave dwelling are not overly profound."
With this thought, Zhou Yan no longer hesitated and strode directly into the cave dwelling.
Boom~
As soon as he stepped into the cave dwelling, a terrifying pressure instantly descended, like a primordial beast awakening, causing Zhou Yan's face to change drastically.
"Not good!"
Zhou Yan's heart filled with fear.
The next instant, a wisp of flame rose, reddening the void.
Whoosh~
Instantly, fierce flames ignited, carrying terrifying majesty, burning Zhou Yan's body.
"Pfft!"
Zhou Yan's body trembled, he spat out blood, and stumbled back several steps.
"The restrictions here are actually fire-attributed?!"
Zhou Yan's face was extremely pale. Looking up, he saw a giant cauldron standing in the center of the area.
The cauldron was jet black, inscribed with infinite patterns, exuding a strong aura of ancient vicissitudes.
"Hmph!"
Zhou Yan snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with sharp light.
Although these patterns were profound and unpredictable, they could not escape his sight. This was clearly a fire-attributed restriction!
"I'd like to see what secrets lie within this restriction!"
Zhou Yan snorted coldly and walked directly towards the giant cauldron.
Whoosh!
However, as Zhou Yan took a step, a streak of saber light suddenly flashed, tearing through the void, severing his leg, and sending him flying.
Bang bang bang~!
Zhou Yan fell to the ground in a sorry state, screaming in pain, blood flowing profusely.
"Heh heh…"
At this moment, a faint, indifferent voice suddenly sounded in Zhou Yan's ear.
"To enter the secret treasure vault, you must pass my test!"
"To obtain the treasures within, you must rely on your own strength!"
"You mean… I have to defeat you to get the treasure!?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yan gritted his teeth and roared: "You're just a puppet, how dare you block me?!"
Boom~
However, the puppet paid no heed to Zhou Yan's roaring.
The next moment, the giant cauldron violently vibrated, spewing out tongues of flame like javelins, piercing the void and shooting towards Zhou Yan.
"Hmph!"
Zhou Yan snorted coldly, his true qi surging within him. He fully activated the bronze mirror in his hand, releasing a layer of brilliant golden light, forming a defensive shield that enveloped his body.
Bang bang bang~
However, under this attack, the defensive shield shattered.
Chirp!
Zhou Yan cried out in pain, his chest exploded, and he was sent flying.
"The puppet's attacks are too powerful; relying solely on magical treasures cannot stop it!"
Zhou Yan felt anxious, but shook his head helplessly.
As his cultivation improved, Zhou Yan had also gradually discovered that the attacks of these puppets were extremely sharp and swift, often proving fatal in a single blow!
"Hmm?"
Zhou Yan frowned, and suddenly saw a protruding brick on a stone platform nearby.
"This is…"
Zhou Yan's mind stirred, and he picked up the brick.
Hum~
Instantly, the entire cave dwelling showed signs of anomaly.
Dafeng Novel
"Rumble…"
A vast power surged forth, enveloping Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan's face showed horror. This power was too formidable, far surpassing that of a Xiantian realm martial master, it was utterly despair-inducing!
"This… how is this possible!?"
"Does this cave dwelling hide a Martial King level expert?!"
Zhou Yan was so scared his soul nearly left his body. He never imagined that a Martial King would be guarding this place!
At this moment, Zhou Yan had no doubt that with his strength, he would not last a single breath in front of this Martial King!
"Damn it! How could I be so unlucky!?"
Zhou Yan was filled with regret, wishing he could slap himself twice!
If only he hadn't been greedy for Han Yun's storage bag earlier, he wouldn't have ended up in such a predicament.
Rumble…
However, at this moment, infinite power surged, instantly sealing Zhou Yan's cultivation and restraining him on the spot.
"It's over…"
Zhou Yan's spirit was crushed.
"Han Yun, it's all your fault!!"
"I will not rest until I am your sworn enemy!"
At this moment, Zhou Yan's eyes were bloodshot, his heart filled with malice. He glared at Han Yun's corpse, wishing he could eat his flesh and drink his blood!
Crack!
However, just then, the necklace around Zhou Yan's neck suddenly emitted a dazzling light. Following this, a series of runes appeared, converging to form a short blade. It unsheathed itself from Zhou Yan's neck and flew towards Han Yun's corpse.
Swish!
The short blade cut through the air in a graceful arc, easily severing Han Yun's corpse's head. Then, it slowly retracted back into the necklace and disappeared.
"I… I actually survived!?"
Zhou Yan stood stunned, finding it hard to believe. Immediately, a sinister smile appeared on his lips: "Hahaha! Han Yun, Han Yun, you ultimately died at the hands of your own people! Hahaha…"
"My, Zhou Yan's, luck is heaven-defying; I actually escaped this ordeal, not only surviving but also keeping my wretched life!"
"Hahaha! The ancestors protect me! This time, I will surely kill Han Yun and avenge my father!"
Zhou Yan's mood was greatly improved. He let out a long, hoarse cry towards the sky, laughing maniacally, hysterically!
"Hmph!"
However, as Zhou Yan was laughing wildly, a cold, low voice suddenly entered his mind: "Noisy!"
Boom!
Before the words had even finished, Zhou Yan felt his head spin, and then he lost consciousness.
In the dim and eerie tomb, a scent of decay permeated everywhere.
