Qin Xuan’s heart stirred slightly, and he looked over.
He saw a man, gaunt as a monkey, standing there, staring coldly at Qin Xuan.
Seeing Qin Xuan look over, the gaunt man coldly glanced at Qin Xuan.
“Song Bin, are you deaf? How are things going with what I told you to do?”
Who was this person?
Qin Xuan’s thoughts raced, and he suddenly recalled that Song Bin had told him earlier that the Heavenly Fiend Sect’s dedicated Soul Core collection was handled by a Supporter.
This Supporter’s cultivation was only at the Early Stage Tianxuan Realm.
Although he was much stronger than Song Bin, he was naturally not worth mentioning in the Heavenly Fiend Sect.
However, he was a relative of Heavenly Fiend Sect Lord Hou Luo, so naturally no one dared to say anything.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan did not say much, after all, he was currently impersonating Song Bin.
“Supporter Hou, the items are ready, it’s just…”
As Qin Xuan spoke, he put on a troubled expression and looked around.
“Just what?”
Hearing Qin Xuan say this, the Supporter named Hou Yong looked at Song Bin strangely.
“It’s just that I recently acquired a treasure, and I can’t tell if it’s real or not. I need your help to see if there’s any problem with it.”
Qin Xuan said, forcing a smile and making a welcoming gesture towards the other party.
This Hou Yong was also a sharp individual, and naturally, he instantly understood that ‘Song Bin’ wanted to curry favor with him and privately give him this treasure, but there were too many people here to say it openly.
“Good, I love appraising treasures the most! I’ll come and take a look for you now!”
After Hou Yong finished speaking, Song Bin immediately made a welcoming gesture.
Looking at Song Bin, who was extending his hand to invite him, Hou Yong also nodded with a smile.
He still understood the rules.
You don’t hit a smiling face; since Song Bin was so sensible, he didn’t bother to offend the other party.
A few followers who were originally behind Hou Yong lightly coughed and turned to walk to the other side.
They also understood the rules.
Some things cannot be traded openly, only discussed in private.
Since it was a private discussion, wouldn’t they be asking for trouble by following along?
Therefore, at this moment, they naturally left discreetly.
Seeing that these people had all left, Hou Yong quickly followed Qin Xuan to an unoccupied corner.
“Haha, quickly tell me what good stuff it is, let me see!”
As he spoke, Hou Yong rubbed his hands, waiting for Qin Xuan to take out the item.
Qin Xuan smiled, and his fist rose in his hand, falling before Hou Yong could speak.
“Bang!”
With one punch, Hou Yong was knocked unconscious. Immediately, Qin Xuan raised his hand and pressed it on Hou Yong’s head, beginning to search his soul.
Hou Yong’s cultivation had reached the Tianxuan Realm, so he could naturally withstand a soul search.
Therefore, it wasn’t long before Qin Xuan extracted the information he needed from Hou Yong’s mind.
“The Soul Cores were actually gathered together and all sent to a secret underground location?”
Qin Xuan was somewhat surprised; he had found many good things in Hou Yong’s memories.
Through these secrets, Qin Xuan quickly figured out many things.
After a while, Qin Xuan threw Hou Yong into the Refining God Cauldron to be refined into spiritual liquid, while he himself transformed into Hou Yong’s appearance and left the place, heading directly towards the underground location from Hou Yong’s memory.
Because of his kinship with the Sect Leader, he also had some understanding of the situation underground.
“My Lord, do you need us to accompany you?”
Turning around, seeing ‘Hou Yong’ about to leave, a few of his followers came up, looking at Hou Yong fawningly.
Hearing this, Hou Yong raised his eyelids slightly, a cold sneer appearing on his face.
“Idiots, there’s a reason I didn’t call you. Is this something you’re qualified to inquire about?”
“Now, hurry up and get out!”
These people were all his subordinates, and they could only gain a foothold in the Sect by following him.
Therefore, Hou Yong usually didn’t pay them any mind.
Now, being reprimanded by Hou Yong, although they felt indignant, they could only force a smile in front of Hou Yong.
“Alright, Supporter Hou, you are right, we’ll get out now!”
Saying that, several people left the place without hesitation.
Seeing these people so self-aware, Qin Xuan curled his lips in disdain. Then, according to Hou Yong’s memory, he passed through the Heavenly Fiend Sect’s defensive formation and arrived directly at the Inner Sect area.
This was the core area of the entire Heavenly Fiend Sect.
After exchanging a few greetings with the Heavenly Fiend Sect Inner Sect Disciples he encountered along the way, Qin Xuan headed directly to the place he had found through his soul search.
There was a secret underground area behind the Heavenly Fiend Sect’s Inner Sect.
Every time, Hou Yong would send the Soul Cores collected by others in the Sect to the underground.
However, he was not clear about what exactly was underground.
“Although I don’t know what’s underground, considering how cautious the Heavenly Fiend Sect Lord is, even only letting his own people come here, this underground place must be where the true secrets are kept.”
Qin Xuan pondered as he walked towards the back mountain of the Heavenly Fiend Sect’s Inner Sect.
That place was located underground in the back mountain of the Heavenly Fiend Sect.
After a while, following his memory, Qin Xuan arrived at the back mountain of the Heavenly Fiend Sect.
Several guards responsible for watching the back mountain saluted Qin Xuan.
They were very clear about Hou Yong’s identity, and furthermore, Hou Yong was usually in charge of the Soul Cores, so these guards would not stop him.
Entering the secret chamber, Qin Xuan followed the passage all the way underground. After a while, Qin Xuan stopped.
At the end of the passage was a stone door.
Looking at the intricate carvings on the stone door, a gleam flashed in Qin Xuan’s eyes.
“This stone door is an ancient artifact. It seems the Heavenly Fiend Sect’s foundation is quite extraordinary!”
Just then, Han Ye suddenly spoke to Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan also noticed the difference in the stone carvings on the stone door.
“These are the Twelve Ornaments, composed of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, Dragon, hua insect, ancestral temple, algae, fire, rice, axe, and fu symbol.”
“It is said that in the Ancient Era, these twelve ornaments could only be used by the Supreme under heaven. Since this stone door can use the Twelve Ornaments, it seems this item is definitely not simple.”
As Han Ye spoke, Qin Xuan nodded and carefully pushed open the stone door before walking in.
“Hm? You’re here?”
Behind the stone door, a withered old man slightly raised his head and looked at Qin Xuan.
His withered five fingers trembled incessantly like sharp claws.
Seeing this old man, Qin Xuan’s heart slightly tightened.
This old man was none other than a Yuqing Realm expert arranged by the Heavenly Fiend Sect Lord to guard this place.
Although the old man looked like a flickering candle in the wind, ready to die at any moment.
However, according to Hou Yong’s memory, this old man’s strength was far from simple.
Even though he looked like he was on the verge of death, according to Qin Xuan’s memory, this person’s strength was very formidable.
Once, a Yuqing Realm Ninth Level Cultivator broke in and was killed on the spot by this old man.
Therefore, Qin Xuan had no contempt for the old man in front of him.
However, his regard for this old man was only that much.
Since his cultivation had stepped into Tianxuan Second Level, Qin Xuan’s strength had surged, and coupled with the reliance on his Dual Pupils, he could now be said to be able to directly contend with a Yuqing Realm Cultivator.
If he were to suddenly launch an attack by taking advantage of the other party’s moment of laxity, he would be even more confident.
However, Qin Xuan did not want to act rashly now.
He was here to figure out the secret of the Soul Cores, not to fight here.
If he were to alarm the Heavenly Fiend Sect Lord because of this, it would not be worth the gain.
“Greetings, Elder Wang. The people outside have brought back some Soul Cores from the Burial Spirit Land!”
Saying that, Qin Xuan handed the old man a qiankun ring.
“Oh, Soul Cores? How many this time?”
Elder Wang raised his eyebrows, his withered fingers caressing the qiankun ring.
“About five thousand.”
Qin Xuan raised his eyebrows, imitating Hou Yong’s tone as he spoke.
Hearing this, the old man shook his head slightly.
“Still too few. Get more Mortals into the Burial Spirit Land and have them kill more Soul Beasts. The Sect has given orders these past few days that more Soul Cores from Soul Beasts must be found!”
The old man instructed while checking the qiankun ring. After confirming there were no issues, he waved his hand, signaling Qin Xuan to continue forward.
After a while, Qin Xuan arrived in front of the next stone door and carefully pushed it open.
Pushing open the stone door, he was met with a void.
However, Qin Xuan knew what was going on.
There was a Space Seal here; to enter, one must first open the Space Seal within.
Under Elder Wang’s gaze, Qin Xuan took out a token and, as shown in Hou Yong’s memory, skillfully opened the Space Seal.
