The Ninth Rebirth Demon King

"It seems that it really is the treasure of the Grand Dominance's Four Great Heroes."

Mu Lian looked at the Treasure Chest, his eyes finally shining.

"Master, this place is not safe. Let's go." Zhu Congliang said.

Mu Lian said solemnly: "You must first open the box and look through the contents before you can go back."

"Master, there should be demonic beast core inside." What Zhu Congliang meant was, there was no cultivation technique inside.

Mu Lian said angrily: "If you don't open the door to take a look, then bring it in front of Sect Master. If there is any accident, will you guys be able to bear it?"

Zhu Congliang and Zheng Jue's hearts trembled unknowingly when they heard this. If this treasure chest was found in the ruins of a cave, they wouldn't have to worry about it. However, this treasure chest had appeared here for no reason. If someone was to intentionally cause trouble and cause trouble in the treasure chest, causing the grand master to be frightened, that would not be good at all.

Mu Lian continued: "This treasure chest's origin is unknown, we can't help but be cautious!"

Zhu Congliang and Zheng Jue looked at each other with a solemn expression.

"Think of a way to open it and then make a decision." Mu Lian said with a commanding tone.

"Yes, Master." Zhu Congliang immediately agreed.

Zheng Jue quickly added: "Clan Elder, how about this, we will leave this mountain and return to the East of the Sea Area. We will find a quiet place to carefully study this treasure chest."

Mu Lian said solemnly: "The demonic energy in this treasure chest is so dense, if we go to a place with so many people, it is inevitable that people will notice us, and if that happens, there will be trouble. Unless you have spatial spirit artifact and place the treasure chest inside it, you will not be able to hide this berserk demonic energy. "

After Zheng Jue heard this, he frowned. In Qi Cang Sect, only Sect Master has spatial spirit artifact, and only Sect Master has the ability to activate spatial spirit artifact.

Zhu Congliang also said in a low voice: "Chi Mansion is also keeping an eye on this treasure. It's easier to hide in this big mountain."

"Alright, then I'll think of a way to open the Treasure Chest." Zheng Jue said.

"Put me down and let me study it." Mu Lian said.

"Yes, Elder." Zheng Jue put Mu Lian down.

Zhu Congliang also put down the Treasure Chest, allowing Mu Lian to study the method to open it. Although he was only one realm lower than Mu Lian, in terms of cultivation and knowledge, he far surpassed him. He actually hoped that Mu Lian could open the treasure chest and confirm what was inside before he could take it back to the sect leader.

Mu Lian sat in the beast skin pocket with both hands raised up, carefully studying the treasure chest's lock.

Actually, the two of them knew that Zhu Congliang and Zheng Jue was standing at the side. The reason why Mu Lian wanted to open the Treasure Chest was mainly for that mysterious cultivation technique. This elder's body had been crippled to such a state. If there weren't any miraculous changes, he wouldn't even be able to keep his life, let alone recover his former strength.

At this time, the sun gradually set behind the mountain, and the mountain once again welcomed the deep night. The wind had cooled down, and the surrounding birds had all quieted down, giving the entire mountain a mysterious and oppressive aura.

Zhu Congliang and Zheng Jue looked around, their hearts still on guard. They couldn't forget the disaster they had experienced in the pyramidal peak's cave. If they hadn't fallen behind, and were closer to the cave entrance, they would have been pressed down against the mountain peak forever like their twenty-odd fellow apprentices. Not even a single corpse would have been left.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past. A human figure seemed to have come out of the darkness, appearing twenty meters away from the three of them.

Three powerful spirit energy lance s flew over, and struck towards the three's vitals. The speed of the attack was so fast that it chilled the hearts of the three of them.

Zheng Jue and Zhu Congliang reacted very quickly, and they avoided the attack at the fastest speed possible. However, Mu Lian who was researching his Treasure Chest wasn't so lucky. His body was crippled, and his strength had regressed, so he was completely unable to dodge this attack.

"Swish."

The long hair of the Spiritual Strength penetrated Mu Lian's chest, and carried him into the air.

As that figure swept past the treasure box like a gust of wind, the treasure box appeared in his hand. He did not stop and entered the forest.

"Chase!"

Zhu Congliang and Zheng Jue realised that this person's goal was the Treasure Chest, so how could they give up on the Treasure Chest?

Mu Lian could still barely fly before, but now that his wound had not healed and he had received another fatal blow, he was truly unable to control the Spiritual Strength anymore.

A cold wind blew through the empty forest, bringing with it a sense of desolation.

Mu Lian lied on the ground by himself. The beast skin pouch underneath his feet had already fallen off into the distance, and he was powerless to return it to the beast skin pouch.

Before being injured, he had never considered the cold and oppressive aura of the mountain to be anything of importance. However, at this moment, he felt extremely cold. The pressure on his chest was so intense that even breathing became difficult.

He tried his best to control the Spiritual Strength in his body, wanting to suppress the cold energy and disperse the pressure. However, because there were too many broken meridians, many places could not be reconnected. Furthermore, that fatal blow had pierced through his heart. Now, he felt weak and powerless.

He wanted to shout, but he was worried that he would attract Demonic Beast, so he could only lie on the ground alone, allowing the wound on his body to bleed.

After a long time, a figure suddenly appeared beside him. He originally thought that either Zhu Congliang or Zheng Jue had returned, but when he clearly saw this person's appearance, not only was his body ice-cold, his heart was also cold.

"Feng Ting!"

Mu Lian's voice trembled a little. His two palms moved, horizontally across his chest, and that not too thick Spiritual Strength floated up to the center of his palms.

"Mu Lian, your life is so long!" Feng Ting looked down at the Qi Cang Sect Elder who only had half of her body left.

"Feng Ting, you …" Mu Lian originally wanted to say some mighty words, but thinking that Feng Ting was actually alive, it meant that the tragedy in the cave was caused by him. He dared to kill more than twenty Spirit Cultivator s, why would he be lacking one?

"Zhu Congliang and Zheng Jue still haven't come back to save you, they seem to be even more interested in the Treasure Chest." Feng Ting smiled calmly.

After Mu Lian heard this, the chill in his heart grew even stronger. Feng Ting's words were not wrong. Even though Zhu Congliang and Zheng Jue knew that this place was dangerous, they still went for so long, as if they had forgotten about him, this elder.

He was even more shocked when he heard that Feng Ting knew that the Treasure Chest had been robbed. Could it be that Feng Ting had been monitoring them from nearby?

"Do you know who stole the treasure chest?" Feng Ting asked with a smile.

"Since you saw it, you should know who it is?" Mu Lian's face became uglier and uglier. The pain he was feeling could not get any worse, he was able to last until now, he had already exhausted all of his mental and physical strength.

Feng Ting smiled of course: "Of course I know, it was the people from the Chi Mansion who snatched the Treasure Chest."

Mu Lian also thought that the Chi Mansion might have snatched the Treasure Chest away from him, so he gritted his teeth. He wanted to kill the person who took the Treasure Chest away, so he felt like killing Feng Ting.

"Do you know who placed that treasure chest here?" Feng Ting said again.

"The treasure chest was left here by someone else?" Mu Lian was shocked.

Seeing Mu Lian's expression, Feng Ting felt that Zhu Congliang and Zheng Jue did not tell Mu Lian the truth. He laughed: "Looks like your two juniors did not tell the truth, they wouldn't tell you that the Treasure Chests were dug out from the ruins, right?"

"Isn't it?"

Feng Ting shook his head and laughed: "Of course they didn't dig it out. I placed that treasure chest here, so they would see."

"You put it here? Why are you so kind? " Although Mu Lian's words were firm, his heart was growing more and more perplexed.

"Because I still have many treasure chests, throwing any one of them at me is nothing." Feng Ting said casually.

Of course, Mu Lian did not believe that Feng Ting would have such kind intentions. He stared fixedly at Feng Ting, and the venom and killing intent in his eyes made people afraid.

"Of course I have another purpose." Feng Ting said.

"What purpose?" Mu Lian really wanted to know.

"I can tell you, but I also want you to answer one of my questions." Actually, Feng Ting did not have anything to ask Mu Lian, he just came back to play because he did not follow Xiao Ning and the person who took the treasure chest away. Actually, he was not such a bored person. The reason he wanted to torture Mu Lian was because the people from Qi Cang Sect had lost him.

"Tell me, what do you want to know?" When Mu Lian was speaking, he did not seem to notice his gaze sweeping into the distance. He hoped that Zhu Congliang and Zheng Jue could return quickly.

"Other than you twenty odd people, how many more disciples are there?" Feng Ting asked.

"A lot." Mu Lian felt that Feng Ting was a little afraid, that's why he asked his these questions.

"Why haven't they appeared yet?" Feng Ting asked.

"Because... They have other tasks. " Mu Lian could only say this.

Of course, Feng Ting could tell that Mu Lian was lying, and he said smilingly: "Do you know why I asked this question?"

"Are you scared?" Mu Lian sneered.

Feng Ting laughed disdainfully: "I'm afraid, I left long ago, will I still return? The reason I asked that question was because I wanted to kill all of the disciples of the Qi Cang Sect in the mountain. "

Hearing that, Mu Lian's heart was startled, but he continued to say angrily: "Feng Ting, you are just a lowly martial cultivator."

"I am a lowly martial cultivator, but I still buried more than twenty realms of Purple Mansion and dangling lake in the pyramidal peak." The corner of Feng Ting's mouth revealed a cold smile.

Mu Lian's expression became even more terrified. He would never forget the moment the pyramidal peak collapsed. If it wasn't for his high cultivation realm and him rushing out with all his might, he would have been buried within the mountain peak.

Feng Ting laughed: "Before you came here to search for the treasure, you did not inform Duan Zhou City's Xue Xiao."

"The Junior Brother Xue is right in the middle of the mountain. He could appear at any time." Mu Lian said solemnly.

"Is that so? Then why hasn't he appeared yet? " Feng Ting said as he flipped his wrist, holding the foggy venomous insect blade in his hand.

"What are you doing?" Mu Lian's heart became even colder.

"I've told you so much just to see if anyone from your Qi Cang Sect can save you. Now it seems that besides Zhu Congliang and Zheng Jue, there is no one else who can save you. " Feng Ting pointed the foggy venomous insect blade at Mu Lian's head.

Mu Lian felt the illusionary killing intent being transmitted over from the blade, he knew that he was finished, and at this moment, not only did he hate Feng Ting for his craftiness and viciousness, he also hated Zhu Congliang and Zheng Jue for not being able to return.
