Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Young Master, are you alright?!"

Seeing Jia Youqian standing there stunned with his Dao heart shattered, several guards rushed over, their faces filled with anxiety.

Because this was the first time they had ever seen the other person look so distraught; he was completely different from the once spirited young master of the Tianxia Merchant Guild.

Besides, these guards never expected that Lu Feng, who only had a cultivation level of the sixth level of the Condensation Realm, could force their master Jia Youqian to such a limit!

"I'm fine...!"

Glancing at the guards around him, Jia Youqian's eyelids twitched, and his voice was low, as if he was still somewhat dazed.

"Young Master, this fellow was just spreading rumors and misleading people. Please don't fall for it!"

"That's right! This boy has not only repeatedly challenged your authority, but he has also brutally murdered members of our Tianxia Merchant Guild. Even Young Master Chao has fallen victim to his cruelty. We absolutely cannot let this boy go easily!"

"In my opinion, this kid should be skinned alive... Uh!"

One of the guards became more and more agitated as he spoke, as if Lu Feng were his mortal enemy. However, before he could finish speaking, his body suddenly stiffened and he fell heavily to the ground, his body stained crimson with blood.

"Noisy."

Not far away, Lu Feng raised his hand, channeled his Yuan energy, and pulled the Bloodthirsty Spear back into his palm. At this moment, drops of blood dripped from the tip of the spear, which shimmered with an eerie light. It seemed that its power had increased considerably because it had absorbed the essence of a martial artist!

"you...!"

Upon seeing this, the expressions of the other surviving guards changed slightly.

They never imagined that Lu Feng would be so arrogant, not only daring to kill someone in front of Jia Youqian, but also showing no regard for the business guilds of the world!

It should be noted that the World Merchant Guild is not only a dominant force in the capital of Dongyun Kingdom, but also has many experts within it, including a Spirit Soul Realm expert. In terms of foundation alone, it is no weaker than any quasi-seventh-grade force!

"Jia Youqian, we are both intelligent people. Now that things have come to this, I'm sure you have your own judgment, right?"

After killing the talkative guard, Lu Feng did not continue to attack. He merely spoke in a mocking tone while taking out several second-grade Rejuvenation Pills from his storage ring to restore his Yuan energy, seemingly waiting for Jia Youqian's reaction.

After all, Jia Youqian's strength is not weak. With Lu Feng's current cultivation level, he would have to pay a considerable price to kill the former.

Besides, after a fierce battle, Lu Feng's own dantian energy was almost depleted, so if he could subdue the enemy without a fight, it would be a good outcome.

"Why should I believe you...?"

Faced with Lu Feng's probing, Jia Youqian also struggled to get up. At this moment, his eyes flashed with scarlet as he looked at the other party, as if he had regained a bit of his rationality, but the anger in his heart had not subsided.

After all, Lu Feng not only killed his trusted confidant Zheng Qiudong, but also took the opportunity to kill his younger brother Jia Chao. This deep-seated hatred could not be resolved with just a few words.

"You may not believe me, but you cannot disbelieve them..."

Faced with Jia Youqian's questioning, Lu Feng grinned and then pointed to the crowd of onlookers who had not yet dispersed not far away, "When Jia Chao was dying, he was desperate and revealed a lot of shocking information and secrets. Apart from me, they also heard all of this clearly."

"If Young Master Jia doesn't believe it, he can ask any fellow Daoist himself, and the truth will come to light."

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Youqian's expression changed slightly. The next moment, he quickly turned to look at the crowd not far away. He saw that everyone's faces were pale, but no one refuted Lu Feng's words. He couldn't help but frown again.

"Walk!"

After a few breaths of silence, Jia Youqian clenched his teeth, then dissipated his energy, seemingly having no desire to fight anymore.

"Young Master, what's wrong...!"

"Shut up!"

Seeing that Jia Youqian was about to leave, a guard was about to advise him, but was glared at coldly by the former and immediately stopped talking.

After all, he was just a lowly guard, how could he dare to offend Jia Youqian, the young master of a powerful merchant guild?

"Father, Ancestors, how many more secrets are you hiding from me...!"

Jia Youqian clenched his fists tightly beneath his sleeves, his face ashen and lifeless. It seemed he had lost all interest in exploring the ruins of the Loyal King's tomb and now only wanted to return to the capital to find the truth he sought.

As for Jia Chao's body, it was abandoned on the ground by the members of the Tianxia Merchants Association, who had no intention of retrieving it.

"Damn it! They're finally gone. If they'd dragged it out any longer, I'd probably be finished...!"

Seeing Jia Youqian leave with his men, Lu Feng's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, slowly settled down, and he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, the opponent was undoubtedly a genius martial artist who was a rare talent, and even if he used his strongest trump card, "Dragon Breath," he could only severely injure Jia Youqian, but could not kill him.

"Although this guy's Yuan Power cultivation is weak, his corpse shouldn't be wasted. I'll reluctantly accept it..."

Looking back at Jia Chao's cold, headless corpse on the ground, Lu Feng flicked his Bloodthirsty Spear again, immediately plunging it into the center of the corpse's heart meridian. He then absorbed all the remaining essence and vital energy within, leaving not a single drop!

"What a cruel method! To use a corpse to refine a spiritual treasure, could this person be an evil cultivator?"

"Very likely! This young man possesses such strength at such a young age, and his weapon is extraordinary, capable of even absorbing the essence and blood of corpses. Could he be some evil cultivator from a demonic sect?"

"According to my grandfather, about fifty years ago, a demonic sect suddenly appeared, known at the time as the 'Lifeless Demonic Sect.' Back then, it not only ravaged the entire Lingnan Four Kingdoms, but also affected most of the Eastern Xuan Region. Its followers were said to number in the millions!"

"It can't be such a coincidence, can it? Wasn't the 'Lifeless Demonic Sect' wiped out by a coalition of righteous forces? Besides, this kid is only at the sixth level of the Qi Condensation Realm. With that kind of strength, he shouldn't even be worthy of the 'Lifeless Demonic Sect's' attention..."

Seeing Lu Feng use Jia Chao's corpse to refine the Bloodthirsty Gun, the surrounding crowd gasped in surprise, but no one dared to step forward to stop him, clearly intimidated by his strength.

"The Unborn Demonic Sect?"

"What is this thing? I've never even heard of it before!..."

Faced with the crowd's discussion, Lu Feng merely raised an eyebrow, then shook his head again and turned to leave the secret chamber.

As for the valuables left on the corpses of Jia Chao, Zheng Qiudong, and others, Lu Feng also took them all. He had nearly 100,000 low-grade spirit stones alone, which was quite a haul!

.....

Meanwhile, at the site of the tomb of the Loyal King, a simple and ancient side hall...

The atmosphere inside the hall was tense, with people scattered about. Everyone's attention was drawn to a huge portrait hanging high above the main hall. The entire hall was completely silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Besides, this side hall is slightly different from the other secret rooms that the group had explored before. Apart from the huge portrait above the main hall, there are no treasures inside. There is only an ordinary-looking stone coffin, which is very empty.

Swish!

At this moment, a slender figure suddenly flashed into the hall, and the next moment slowly revealed her true face. It was the girl in yellow robes who had met Lu Feng once before.

"what?"

The moment she stepped into the hall, the young woman in yellow robes was drawn to the enormous portrait above the main hall. Her beautiful eyes lit up slightly. "The painting is perfectly formed, its spiritual energy is condensed and does not dissipate, and every stroke has a traceable array pattern..."

"Could this be the Azure Sea Illusionary Spirit Map that my elder brother mentioned before?"
