Chapter 913 - Chapter 913 Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 910 Killing Intent (Happy National Day, everyone!)
Chapter 913: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 910 Killing Intent (Happy National Day, everyone!) Chapter 913: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 910 Killing Intent (Happy National Day, everyone!) A hand lifted the brick, took another careful look, and another hand extended a finger, the tip flashing with green light, lightly touching the surface of the brick.
Immediately, a layer of white, misty spiritual light rippled out like waves.
Han Li smiled and nodded his head.
According to Feng Zhen, this blue brick was no ordinary object but rather similar to a storage pouch Magic Artifact.
However, the artifact could only be opened with a specific set of incantations; otherwise, if forcibly opened with brute force, the items inside would instantly turn to ash.
Han Li, of course, had received the Oracular Formula from the dying Feng Zhen.
He then started chanting a spell incantation softly, and from his mouth, a burst of green light containing flashing runes spurted out, striking the blue brick and covering it.
Following that, with one hand forming hand seals, he quickly touched each corner of the brick and, with a soft “pop,” a circular hole appeared on the surface, looking dark and mysterious.
Han Li did not rashly reach his hand inside.
Instead, he tapped the bottom of the brick, causing the light to flicker, and from the hole, two items flew out by themselves.
One was a jade slip a few inches in size, and the other was a neatly tied stack of documents resembling account books.
With one hand, he effortlessly grabbed the two items.
After putting aside the blue brick, Han Li, without looking at the stack of documents, grabbed the jade slip and immersed his Divine Sense inside it.
Before long, Han Li’s expression turned strange, and his face darkened.

“Could it be that there’s no address for Feng’s Hideout inside?” Monarch Great Development asked, seeing Han Li’s demeanor.
“No.
The address of the hideout is indeed there, and it’s clearly marked.” He took a deep breath, withdrew his Divine Sense from the jade slip, and slowly spoke, but his brows were furrowed.
“Then why the troubled look?
Could it be that the hideout’s location still involves some danger?” The old eccentric, having lived nearly ten thousand years, quickly guessed some of the truth after a moment’s thought.
“There might be some trouble.
This Feng’s Hideout is actually built deep within the Snow Tomb Mountain Range,” Han Li sighed softly, his face showing a hint of helplessness.
“Why would the Feng Family build the hideout there?
Don’t they know the mountain range is peculiar and cultivators often go missing there?” Monarch Great Development also started to wonder.
“Who knows?
Perhaps the Feng ancestor who chose the location thought that the more dangerous a place is, the safer it would be,” Han Li guessed, pursing his lips.
“Since the Feng Family has always been using this hideout, it implies that the place shouldn’t be dangerous.
Why worry unnecessarily?” Monarch Great Development spoke leisurely.
“Hopefully so!
Now that we have the map, we can’t just give up on checking it out because of this unknown risk.
If all goes well, we should find the hideout in a day,” Han Li said with a self-deprecating smile.
Then, he put away the jade slip and casually picked up the stack of documents, flipping through them briefly before letting out a soft exclamation.
“Ah!
These are deeds proving some of the secular world assets of the Feng Family!
There are quite a few of them, enough to make one immensely wealthy!” Han Li expressed his surprise.
“What’s so surprising about that?
The wealthy families in Great Jin and the Heavenly South cultivator families differ in that the former considers involvement in the secular world normal and do not find it shameful to interact with officials and the wealthy.
It’s actually quite common for Loose Cultivators to seek out such affiliations.
Though Great Jin is vast, ordinary mortals outnumber those in Tian Luo by far, occupying most of the territory of Great Jin, hence many Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Stone resources are not in uninhabited places but rather directly under the control of the Imperial Court.
Tian Luo, on the other hand, has less territory occupied by mortals, with more wilderness areas.
Naturally, Heavenly South cultivators don’t need to interact much with mortals,” Monarch Great Development explained to Han Li.
“So, with the secular royal power in Great Jin controlling so many Immortal Cultivation resources, would the other large sects allow this?” Han Li was somewhat incredulous.
“Hehe, what can they do if they don’t allow it?
Great Jin isn’t like Tian Luo with its many nations; it has always been a powerful Imperial Court ruling the secular world from ancient times.
Even if cultivators are powerful, they can’t overtly harm mortals.
Otherwise, not only would the secular world react, but other sect powers would also take advantage of the situation.
The current Imperial Court of the Great Jin Dynasty is actually a compromise of several major powers in the realm of immortal cultivators.
If I remember correctly, these powers have an agreement that no sect can overtly pressure the secular Imperial Court to do something.
They even allow the government to directly recruit some Loose Cultivators, and the Imperial Clan of Great Jin is also allowed to train a certain number of court cultivators.
Of course, under the watchful eye of the large sects, the training and number of these cultivators are kept in check so they don’t grow too ambitious.”
“Behind the scenes, the various powers, in order to occupy more cultivation resources and manpower in the secular world, also show their Divine Skills privately, courting favor with some royal and high-ranking officials.
Especially those like county magistrates, almost all have shadows of large and small sects behind them.
And to avoid being caught by other powers, these activities are generally conducted through their affiliated wealthy families.
Over time, it has become common for immortal cultivation families to own significant assets in the secular world in Great Jin.
However, since these documents are so carefully placed here, they must be deed documents related to cultivation resources.
This is crucial for the continuity of a wealthy family,” Monarch Great Development detailed everything he knew.
After hearing this, Han Li was greatly surprised and stroked his chin.
“If these documents are so important, why are they placed here?
Could it be that the Feng Family head sensed something before the incident and deliberately left a contingency plan!” Han Li could only guess as such.
“Maybe.
But these matters are irrelevant to us, there’s no need to delve into their complexities.
Let’s quickly find Feng’s Hideout and see if there’s any Buddhist Cultivation Technique inside that can resolve the Evil Qi in your body!” Monarch Great Development said dismissively.
“That’s true,” Han Li laughed, placed the stack of documents into a jade box, and stored it away.
After confirming the direction, he soared into the sky with his Magic Artifact, flying directly towards the Snow Tomb Mountain Range.
…
At this moment, in an underground tomb chamber within the Snow Tomb Mountain Range, two figures enshrouded in green aura knelt motionlessly in front of three stone coffins.
Suddenly, two green glimmers shot out from the middle coffin and entered the skulls of the two figures in a flash.
“Go now!
Kill that person and retrieve the treasure,” a chilling male voice commanded from within the coffin.
Without a word, the two figures transformed into streaks of green light, spiraled within the chamber, and then shot out, vanishing without a trace.
“Alright, I have already sent the image of the person who took the golden light barrier into an incarnation.
Additionally, there should still be a trace of my son’s aura left in the golden light barrier.
As long as that person hasn’t immediately escaped from Guanning Prefecture, he won’t be able to fly even if he grew wings.”
“Tha…thank you…Father!” A stuttering voice of joy came from another coffin on the side.
“Hmph!
We’ll let this incident slide.
Next time, do not act on your own accord!” the man in the middle coffin snorted, then said.
“Yes!…
Next time…
it will never happen again!” The stuttering voice seemed somewhat fearful.
No more words came from the middle coffin, but after a silent pause, suddenly, with a bang, the lid of the middle coffin flew away several meters.
A gaunt figure wearing a crown abruptly sat up.
“My King, what is it?” A sweet female voice, full of surprise, came from another coffin.
“It’s about time.
Today is the day when the ghostly aura of the earth veins erupts.
My cultivation won’t decline significantly if I leave the tomb temporarily.
It’s an ideal time to aid General Zhu Ge and deal with some troublesome characters from the other wealthy families.
After I leave, you all must open all restrictive formations of the tomb and ensure no outsiders can infiltrate.” The man’s eyes glowed red as he spoke emotionlessly.
“Yes, my King!
Please be extra careful,” the woman advised hesitantly.
“Do not worry, my dear.
I will return to the tomb in at most two days and one night.
After that, I will not easily leave again,” the man assured with a nod, then abruptly lifted his leg, and his figure vanished in a bizarre flash outside the coffin.
His figure flickered a few times, then became indistinct, and he turned into a mass of gray vapor, disappearing on the spot, vanishing from the tomb in an unknown manner.
Shortly after, a deep sigh from the woman echoed in the silent tomb chamber.
…
When Han Li saw the Snow Tomb Mountain Range again, dawn was just breaking.
Without giving it much thought, he charged into the mountains, flying low with his Magic Artifact.
Wary of attracting any trouble, Han Li concealed all signs of his presence and extended his Divine Sense several miles outside his body, keeping vigilant for any abnormalities nearby.
Feng’s Hideout wasn’t located at the center of the mountain range but in a concealed spot near the outskirts.
A day later, after searching through the mountains, Han Li finally found what he was looking for under an unremarkable peak-a colossal waterfall hundreds of feet high.
Seeing the waterfall and the surrounding scenery exactly matched the description in the jade slips, Han unknowingly relaxed a bit.
As he looked at the galaxy cascading from the heavens, Han stayed hovering mid-air, pinched the waterproofing incantation, and with a toss of his hands, two streaks of green light flashed and disappeared into the waterfall.
A muffled sound followed, and a hole approximately ten meters in diameter emerged on the surface of the waterfall.
Without hesitation, Han urged his Magic Artifact forward and flew straight into the hole.
The hole vanished immediately, and the waterfall returned to its normal state.
Han had no idea that at the very moment he entered the hole, a thousand miles away from the waterfall, two green, blurry figures suddenly lost their tracking target.
Twirling in place, they went round and round due to fury, and from their mouths protruded pitch-black, fierce fangs.
They emitted low growls intermittently, resembling two ferocious beasts.
However, what these two figures did not realize was that a few miles behind them, another two covert figures were coldly staring at their backs while whispering into each other’s ears about something.
