Chapter Eighty-Four: Escaping with One's Life

  When Xia Chen and Qian Li had a dispute in the control room, it was Qin An who came forward to mediate, and he was full of kindness towards Xia Chen. Although it was just politeness, Xia Chen remembered it in her heart and had a good impression of Qin An.

  He left Qin An with a few treasures, also wanting to establish a good relationship, and who knows, maybe in the future there will be opportunities to cooperate with Baibao Pavilion again, having one more friend means having one more path.

  Qin An took over the two bottles of inferior Baodan and two sets of refining materials, feeling both surprised and delighted. He didn't expect Xia Chen to be so generous towards him. It seemed that this trip to the ancient storage had indeed yielded a lot of gains.

  After returning, if he could meet this person again, he would definitely treat him as a superior guest! He thought to himself and hurriedly entered the passage with the group of elders.

  In a flash, Xia Chen rushed into the control hall where he came from. He rushed straight to the forbidden light curtain. As long as he went out, it would be a narrow escape.

  Suddenly, Xia Chen seemed to have a premonition and turned his head abruptly. He saw that the huge yin-yang diagram had completely disappeared along with the fading of the seal's glow.

  But behind the flowing light, there is indeed a yin-yang diagram in the shape of a law wheel, shining with a faint glow.

  This yin-yang disk doesn't know what it is, in the jade slip, there isn't even a hint from Lie Yunzi. However, Xia Chen didn't hesitate to let the puppet go forward and take down the yin-yang disk.

  He suddenly had a feeling that when he entered Gu Cang, the prompt of the聚宝盆 was not aimed at the Jade Strip, but this Yin Yang Law Disk.

  He took down the yin-yang law disk and Xia Chen didn't even have time to take a closer look, after putting it into the storage space, he hurriedly rushed towards the restricted light screen.

  At this time, the prohibition light curtain at the entrance of the ancient Tibetan door was also fluctuating violently, rippling in waves, as if it might collapse at any moment, and behind him came the sound of the cave collapsing and falling.

  Xia Chen hastily took out the treasure key, and with a touch of the puppet, the prohibition light screen immediately condensed into a lock eye. Then, it displayed the door leading to the outside of the cave mansion, and the sunlight from outside shone in instantly.

  Rushing out of the portal, seeing the bright sun outside, Xia Chen's hanging heart finally put down, now it can be said that he has escaped from death and no longer needs to worry about being buried by the collapse of the cave.

  Suddenly, Xia Chen was stunned, and outside the cave, he saw hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at him, revealing unbridled greed.

  These eyes were those of a large group of monks who had not entered the ancient Zen temple.

  These monks, although unable to enter the ancient Tibetan region, were not willing to leave just yet. Except for a very small number of people who knew they had no hope and left, the vast majority of them were still waiting with bated breath for Xia Chen and others to come out, naturally harboring thoughts of killing them and stealing their treasures.

  Unfortunately, they didn't think that when Xia Chen and others entered, they couldn't stop them, so why can they stop them from coming out?

  "Someone has come out, he must have obtained the treasure, let's kill him and take it away!" Several cultivators shouted in unison, and the crowd of cultivators rushed over like headless flies.

  In the face of greed, reason is simply redundant.

  Good-for-nothing fool! Xia Chen sneered.

  The puppet burst out in an instant, stirring up a black residual shadow. It didn't need to dodge or even attack; it just needed to charge forward recklessly.

  A blood-curdling scream suddenly echoed through the sky, all of these cultivators were below the fifth level of postnatal cultivation, and they were struck by an overwhelmingly powerful puppet, either flying out in four or five pieces, or collapsing to both sides with their muscles and bones shattered.

  In the blink of an eye, the puppet trod out a bloody path in the crowd, yet its feet didn't even stop.

  Seeing the puppet so terrifying, everyone immediately retreated in terror, and no one dared to provoke Xia Chen again.

  The puppet carries the summer dust, and in the blink of an eye, it has gone far away, disappearing without a trace.

  At this moment, the banishment light screen flickered again, and several people rushed out. They were Qin An and several elders of the Baibao Pavilion.

  Qin An and the others clearly didn't intend to greet anyone, their feet not stopping. By the time everyone came back to their senses, they had already disappeared without a trace!

  Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

  The ban on the light screen suddenly came with a fierce sound, like waves rolling over, and then suddenly burst into brilliant light, and then like shattered glass, turned into fragments all over the sky, instantly disappearing cleanly, revealing the control hall inside which was already littered with broken tiles and debris.

  Almost at the same time, the man in green clothes, Zhan Tingting and others, Yan Bing holding Ling Luotian and others also rushed out from inside. Everyone was disheveled, only a little bit away from being thoroughly buried in this ancient tomb.

  The control hall is also slowly collapsing, and the entire ancient cave mansion is thoroughly crumbling.

  "The seal is broken, we can go in to search for treasure now!" Many cultivators suddenly shouted out, seemingly indifferent to the collapse of the cave before their eyes, and excitedly rushed into the great hall that was about to collapse, it's unknown whether they were driven mad by the desire for treasure or simply foolish.

  Rumble!

  A gigantic stone suddenly shattered and heavily fell, instantly turning the entire control hall into an airtight solid.

  The ancient Tibetan is completely destroyed!

  Nearly a hundred monks were crushed to death by large rocks before they could escape.

  There were still many monks who beat their chests and stamped their feet, not rejoicing that they had not entered the collapsed cave, but regretting that they had not managed to salvage something from inside.

  The man in blue clothes looked around coldly, searching everywhere, but where could he see Xia Chen's figure.

  He didn't say a word, not even greeting Zhan Tingting, and suddenly disappeared with Zhi. Fortunately, he was familiar with the place and quickly came out. It was during the cooperation with Bai Bao Ge that his figure flashed by, and in an instant, he vanished outside the cave.

  Inside Old Tibet, it's a temporary cooperative relationship, but outside of Old Tibet, it's not the case, and they might even be enemies.

  Ting Ting watched him leave, slightly furrowing her brow, and muttered to herself: "This person's cultivation is so high, and he has the Jade Simpleness treasure protecting his body. He shouldn't be a nobody, but why can't I remember anyone like this in the scattered cultivators?"

  "Sister, this trip to ancient Tibet was really full of danger and uncertainty. Fortunately, we managed to get out safely and didn't return empty-handed. But I wonder who that young man was who snatched away most of the treasures?" Lin Mengru said, slightly dazed.

  She witnessed Xia Chen single-handedly defeat six people and snatch away most of the treasures, then retreat unscathed. She thought to herself that this person was truly too powerful.

  For some reason, Lin Mengru suddenly had a strange feeling. Although she had never seen the young man with a green face before, she felt extremely familiar, as if she had met him somewhere and their relationship was not ordinary.

  Of course, Lin Mengru would never have dreamed that the person was Xia Chen.

  Ting Ting sneered: "Can't escape, will eventually track down his clues. Daring to snatch treasures from our Luo Yu Sect's hands, must make him spit out even his skin and bones! Let's go!"

  She didn't even look at the Haoran disciples beside her and took Lin Mengru and others away.

  Although the seven major sects are not sworn enemies, they also have their own grievances. Xuan Tingting did not take advantage of Ling Luo Tian's severe injury to make a move on the Haoran Sect, which was already showing mercy.

  The one holding Ling Luo Tian was a disciple of the Haoran Sect, a sixth-generation disciple after the heavens. He was fully alert and didn't relax until Xuan Tingting and the others had walked far away.

  "Li Shixiong, how is Ling Shixiong?" Yan Bing asked.

  Li's face turned gloomy: "He's still alive, but I think it's more bad than good... Now we're relying on Ling's deep cultivation to hold on until now. We must hurry back to the sect as fast as possible and ask Master to take action to rescue him. This is our last hope!"

  "That scoundrel! He's the one who got Ling Shixiong severely injured. How dare he harm a disciple of our Haoran Sect? One day, we'll catch him and tear him to pieces!"

  Li said, "Alright, let's go back and report this to the sect. No matter who it is, we must investigate and avenge Ling!"

  Immediately, the disciples of the Haoran Sect also left in large strides, with Yan Bing following at the end. He reached into his bosom and touched something inside, where he had snatched a treasure and a set of divine skills.

  He couldn't help but sneer in his heart, Xia Chen, now my cultivation has made great progress, I'm about to break through the fourth stage of the Post-Heaven Realm, and I've also obtained a treasure and divine technique from the ancient storage. Even if you try your best, you won't be able to catch up with me. I really look forward to meeting you and seeing the shocked and terrified expression on your face. And I will personally trample you under my feet in front of Lin Mengru, that day is not far away...

  In the blink of an eye, there were only a few hundred monks left in front of the ancient cave mansion who had gained nothing.

  However, these monks did not intend to leave and one by one rolled up their sleeves, preparing to reopen the cave and continue searching for treasure.

  The puppet carried Xia Chen on its back, and it didn't know how long it had been running until it entered a dense forest, where it finally stopped.

  The light in the puppet's eyes gradually dimmed, and its movements also became slower. Xia Chen, connected to the puppet through their minds, knew that the second Yuan stone inside was about to burn out completely.

  Xia Chen smiled wryly and stuffed another yuan stone into the puppet's mouth, muttering to himself: "Old Big Brother, if you keep eating like this, I won't be able to afford it!"

  He was also heartbroken, the yuan stone was extremely precious, although the聚宝盆 could replicate it, but the speed was extremely slow. After so many days, Xia Chen had only replicated four pieces, and unexpectedly, this puppet had consumed three pieces in just over an hour.

  But at least the puppet saved his life, compared to his life, nothing precious resources are important.

  He sat under the tree, letting the puppet go to the edge of the forest to keep watch. Only then did he take out the large jade pill that Chen Qiushui had given him, pouring it all out in one breath, leaving only one behind, and then stuffing them all into his mouth.

  This is not over yet, after putting away the Big Jade Elixir, Xia Chen took out several bottles of high-grade foundation elixirs.

  These were all high-grade healing sacred medicines refined by him when the mysterious woman pointed, each one was very precious. Xia Chen didn't even look at them and swallowed them all in one gulp, only then did he quietly mobilize his true energy to transform the medicine and heal his injuries.

  This time cultivating his energy, the duration was unusually long, until night fell and into the next morning, Xia Chen only opened his eyes.

  Suddenly, he spat out three mouthfuls of dark purple blood, and his complexion improved a lot.

  After more than a dozen periods of qigong to heal the injury, although the injury has not fully recovered, it has improved by more than half and only needs to be adjusted for a few more days to completely recover.

  This time severely injured, although nearly cost Xia Chen his life, but also brought great benefits.

  He originally broke through the Sixth Heaven, but still needed a long time to cultivate and comprehend in order to stabilize his realm. However, this battle with Gu Cang, after being severely injured and then standing up again, directly allowed Xia Chen to occupy the Sixth Heaven realm, and he gained a much deeper understanding than usual during cultivation.

  If it's seven days after the impact now, Xia Chen won't have any worries anymore.
