The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

Chapter 1146 - 347: Madman, Truly a Madman!

"Crack!"A faint snapping sound echoed, and the restriction on the temple door rippled like water, slowly dissipating.

Zhou Qing closed his eyes and rubbed his strained eyes; the overuse of the [Double Pupils] caused a dull ache at his temples, and he had consumed nearly thirty percent of his Spiritual Power in the Sea of Consciousness.

After confirming the restriction was broken, he turned and gave a signal to Sikong Yan in the shadows.

Sikong Yan understood, his figure flickered, and he stepped into the temple with Zhou Qing.

As they entered the side hall, a thick wave of Spiritual Qi rushed towards them.

Zhou Qing’s Double Pupils suddenly contracted, and the scene before him left him breathless.

The inner vault was extremely spacious, about a hundred feet square, with sunstones embedded in the walls, illuminating the space as if it were daytime.

Dozens of rows of racks forged from black iron were neatly arranged inside, each filled with various treasures.

Millennial Spirit Medicines inhaled and exhaled glow in jade boxes, while high-level Magical Artifacts were covered with esoteric runes on their surfaces.

Rare minerals emitted multicolored spiritual halos, stacks of Jade Scrolls shielded by faint light curtains...

But most striking were the restrictions entwining these treasures.

In their vision, every treasure was wrapped in a dense web of silver patterns.

These restriction patterns were incredibly complex, some coiling like vines, others interwoven like chains, and some even formed small arrays, slowly rotating around the treasures.

"That old ghost from the Nangong Family has locked up all his possessions like dumplings!" Sikong Yan couldn’t help but spit, though excitement flickered in his eyes.

Fortunately, these weren’t the permanent colored restrictions that one would find in high halls but were temporarily arranged with Spiritual Power, complicated but not insoluble.

Working together, breaking them would only be a matter of time.

Of course, they needed to be extremely cautious, avoiding any detection triggers.

"So, shall we take what we need?"

Sikong Yan grinned widely. Before his words even fell, he transformed into a shadow, heading straight for a shelf deep within the vault.

Zhou Qing exhaled deeply, his gaze sharp as an eagle’s, swiftly scanning the entire vault.

Soon, his eyes locked onto a shelf in the deepest part.

There sat over two hundred jade boxes, each engraved with intricate runes and emitting a faint Spiritual Light.

"Top-Grade Spirit Stones!" Zhou Qing’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated as he quickly approached.

He was all too familiar with the design of these jade boxes.

Previously, when they had killed many Divinity Transformation Realm Perfection elders of the Nangong Family, the Five Elements Spirit Stones found in their Storage Bags were packed in these boxes.

"They should all be Five Elements Spirit Stones!" Zhou Qing’s breath quickened, suspecting something.

If there were only two hundred ordinary Top-Grade Spirit Stones, it would certainly fail to match a Spirit Severing family’s pride.

To ensure everything was perfect, he once again activated [Double Pupils] to carefully inspect the restrictions on the jade boxes.

Fortunately, these restrictions were not overly complex, much easier to dismantle than the external defenses.

"Nine Thousand Spirit Seals, activate!"

He quickly formed seals with his hands, Spiritual Light circulating around him, and dense Spirit Seals appeared like stars.

With a precise finger-point, the Spirit Seals embedded into the crucial nodes of the restriction.

"Unlock!"

With a soft command, the first jade box opened in response, releasing a wave of fiery Spiritual Qi.

Inside the box quietly lay a blood-red Top-Grade Fire Spirit Stone, with a golden Sealing Spirit Talisman ensuring the Spiritual Power didn’t disperse.

Without hesitation, Zhou Qing pocketed it.

"Though a bit overkill, it’s quick!" Zhou Qing chuckled and turned to the second.

This was a highly desired Wood Attribute Spirit Stone, glowing with lush green light, its contained Vitality Power energizing him.

Then the third, the fourth...

In less than the time it takes an incense stick to burn, all the jade boxes were emptied, yet Zhou Qing’s heart was still pounding.

Forty-one Top-Grade Wood Attribute Spirit Stones, the rest being other Five Elements Spirit Stones.

Combined with the remaining twenty from before, he finally had enough materials to condense ten thousand Spirit Seals!

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, he turned to the other shelves.

After all, Sikong Yan was a Spirit Severing expert, incredibly fast; he had already plundered nearly half the treasures.

Zhou Qing didn’t dare delay and immediately rushed to the other side’s spirit medicine and magical artifact zones, starting an intense looting spree.

Before long, the entire vault was emptied!

The two exchanged a glance through their masks and simultaneously broke into laughter.

However, Zhou Qing’s smile quickly froze.

Because in Sikong Yan’s eyes, he saw a nearly maniacal excitement and... an urge to fight.

Alarm bells rang in Zhou Qing’s mind as he immediately cautioned, "Don’t you make trouble!"

But Sikong Yan merely grinned, dangerous light flashing in his eyes: "Are we really going to sneak away? They’ll miss the treasures for a while, true, but that’s too boring."

He paused, his tone growing more excited: "Besides, I’ve never truly fought with an old school Spirit Severing Realm expert; it’s the perfect chance."

Saying this, he slapped his Storage Bag, flipping out an object.

It was a pitch-black metal sphere, its surface etched with esoteric runes, emitting a chilling aura of destruction.

The Black Fiend Thunderblast Orb, a terrifying magical artifact enough to blow up the entire vault!

This was the big weapon Sikong Yan pried out of the meat wall in that forbidden zone.

"Here we go!"

Sikong Yan casually tossed it; the metal sphere traced a beautiful arc, landing firmly at the center of the vault.

He then turned to Zhou Qing, eyes brimming with wild laughter: "What are you standing around for? Move!"

"What a madman!" Zhou Qing cursed while rushing out of the vault with him.
