Chen Yun and her crew had acquired seven items; two of them were ancient boxes the size of a palm, four were strange-shaped artifacts with a dim glow, and an ordinary rusted metal piece.

However, to Qin Nan surprise, each of the items was protected with a powerful forbidden seal.

If anyone were to insert their Qi into them, even a peak Martial Progenitor Realm expert would be killed on the spot instantly.

“You guys should back off, let me deal with the forbidden seals first.”

Qin Nan wore a solemn expression.

Chen Yun, Di Fengyun, and the others immediately stayed three zhang away from Qin Nan.

“Break!”

Qin Nan let out a roar as he directed his Qi into the seven items.

BANG!

A terrifying glow combusted, which transformed into a fiery dragon that tore in Qin Nan’s direction with a ferocious might.

Qin Nan had prepared himself for this, who reached out his hands in the nick of time and tapped the dragon’s horns and its reverse scale.

The dragon halted in the air before it slowly vanished.

Qin Nan let out a relieved sigh.

After all, he was still injured at the moment, thus even though his left eye was able to identify the danger, the odds of him actually resolving it was fifty-fifty.

The eyes of Chen Yun and her crew were filled with a hint of terror, while their breathing intensified upon seeing this.

Luckily, they were busy trying to stay alive from the two half-Martial Monarch Realm experts when they had first retrieved the treasures. Otherwise, they would surely die if they inserted their Qi into them.

Qin Nan let out a calm smile upon seeing their reaction, “These things should be quite extraordinary. The danger is gone now, so come and take a look.”

Hearing this, their eyes flickered with anticipation.

They had put in great effort to try and retrieve them.

Qin Nan flicked his finger and opened the two boxes, which contained an icy and a fiery pill respectively, each emitting a strong monarch aura.

He then waved his left hand, causing the four oddly-shaped treasures to emit a blinding glow, which was ancient, mysterious, and somehow stronger than the glow of ordinary Monarch Weapons.

“This…”

The five cultivators were dumbfounded.

The auras of the pills and the artifacts alone were enough to cause their figures to tremble. If it weren’t for Qin Nan protecting them, they would be crushed onto the ground straight away.

“Mm?”

Qin Nan’s eyes flickered with astonishment.

Why was the piece of metal the only thing that was not showing any reaction?

“Brother Qin Nan, you should pick first. Otherwise, we will not take any of them.” Chen Yun collected her thoughts and said with firm determination.

“Alright.”

Qin Nan picked the piece of metal without hesitation.

He somehow felt that the piece of metal contained something that he was seeking.

“This…” Chen Yun and her crew were startled, as they did not expect Qin Nan to pick the least attractive treasure.

“Don’t worry, this piece of metal is definitely nothing ordinary.” Qin Nan said smilingly, “Now, it’s your turn to divide the loot among yourselves. I shall treat my wounds first.”

Saying this, he proceeded to the shade of a giant tree, set up a defensive formation and sat down on the ground.

He would inspect the piece of metal closely after recovering from the injury.

Chen Yun and her crew did not say anything further. They divided the loot equally and proceeded to mend their wounds as well.

Although they were protected by the sacred glow, they still suffered quite a serious injury from the impact before.

Time gradually passed. Five hours later, Qin Nan’s eyes sprang open as he exhaled deeply.

He had almost fully recovered from the injury.

“Time to take a look at this thing.”

Qin Nan took out the metal piece and spat out fire, which surrounded the metal piece and burned ferociously.

If something was concealed within it, he would be able to awaken its consciousness.

However, after the period it took an incense to burn, the metal piece still did not show any reaction.

Qin Nan proceeded to execute his Monarch Arts, etc., but the outcome remained the same, which intrigued him.

“Let me see if it’s able to resist the Heaven-Shattering Saber.”

Qin Nan murmured as he coiled his finger and unleashed a saber intent slashing at the metal piece.

To his surprise, the moment Qin Nan unleashed the saber intent, the metal piece began to vibrate vigorously. Following this, a blinding glow burst out from it, causing Qin Nan’s eyes to widen. Before he could react, the glow had entered his mind.

“Oh my! F**k me! How are you her Tribulation of Three Lifetimes?”

An astonished voice echoed in his mind all of a sudden.

…Meanwhile, on the seventh floor of the ancient temple…

BANG BANG BANG…

A series of explosions took place, resulting in a great impact.

However, they did not last for too long, allowing the place to gradually retain its peacefulness.

“Humph, I thought the Death Cultivator was stronger than that, but we managed to chase her away in just a few rounds!”

The young man with the demonic aura wore a smug expression.

The other geniuses’ faces were filled with disdain too.

“By the way, did you see, the Death Cultivator was actually a woman, and a gorgeous one!”

The young man recalled something, causing him to lick his lips.

“Are you serious?”

“A woman?”

“I should have some fun with her then.”

Many among the geniuses blurted out.

“HAHA, we’ll worry about that later. Let’s go and take the treasure.” The young man burst out laughing before glancing at the wooden coffin lying at the center.

The eyes of the crowd glistened too as several thoughts crossed their minds.

“I’ve made it clear, we would deal with the hazards together, and if we managed to find any treasure, we’d complete fairly among ourselves.”

The young man said in a cold tone, before summoning a giant hand and opening the lid of the coffin.

The geniuses immediately gathered their focus.

However, following a glimpse the young man was stunned. The rest of the geniuses were stunned too.

The coffin…

Was completely empty!

What was going on?

Did that mean there was no treasure here after all?

“There’s a mark made by a sword here. Someone must have been fighting here, which means the treasure was taken! I’ll try to scan it with my Martial Spirit. It can tell us who the person is according to the traces left at the scene!” An ordinary-looking young man spoke calmly as a fourth-grade Tian ranked Martial Spirit with the appearance of a mirror was unleashed, illuminating the mark with a ray of light.

The geniuses held their breaths.

The light from the mirror twisted, as the appearance of a young man holding a sword slowly appeared in it.

The crow was stunned seeing this.

Why did the man look so familiar?

Could it be…

“I remember him! He’s one of the five cultivators who was being targeted by the two half-Martial Monarchs!”

The young man with the demonic aura exclaimed.

The figures of the group shuddered as their faces were filled with shock.

They never thought those insignificant Martial Sacreds would manage to retrieve the treasure!

ROAR!

At that moment, a blasting roar could be heard.

The crowd of geniuses was startled, who subconsciously turned around. Following a glimpse, their faces turned pale.
