Chapter 434 - Pauper to Rich Man!

"This saves time," Yun Xiao said, his hands never stopping. Treasures of the Yin grade, metals and ores, tons after tons were thrown inside the Giant Bag of Holding. Vases along the way, decorations, counters, stools, chairs, tea tables, and wine utensils were all not spared.

Yun Xiao directly conjured dozens of thunderous giant arms, as if his body were covered in tentacles, with no time to see what he was grabbing. Emptying the place was all that mattered.

During the day, Tang Wenqian had maliciously raised prices, mocking him as a pauper. Now, he entered the VIP area, becoming the biggest VIP in history.

WHOOSH!

Rows of thunderous giant arms, sweeping across with the Giant Bag of Holding.

"We're rich, filthy rich. So much money..." Whether it was stones or treasures, Red Moon's eyes sparkled. He didn't care whether he could digest them or not, directly throwing them into his mouth, swallowing them with a gulp, acting like a recycling station.

"Stop eating, you'll clog your intestines!" Blue Star cried in frustration.

"No worries, I'll just stuff a bit more inside, and it'll clear right up!" Red Moon exclaimed excitedly.

As they swept through, the entire vast 30th floor was quickly emptied, almost to the point of pulling off the sealed curtains.

Tang Wenqian had turned off all the security formations. Despite Yun Xiao's commotion, the 29 floors below continued to operate normally without a hint of noise reaching them.

She lay sprawled at the staircase, her face wearing a fascinated smile, watching Yun Xiao empty everything.

"Next floor." After clearing the 30th floor, Yun Xiao did not rest. Next, the 31st floor, 32nd floor, and then the highest, 33rd floor.

𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

The 33rd floor was reserved for VIPs among VIPs!

Its area wasn't large, mostly comprising tea and wine rooms, where the owner of the Jade Immortal Tower would personally entertain guests.

Guests who could come here held extremely high status in the Three Great Ruins, and even Celestial Officers or Manor Masters might not qualify to come up.

And now, Yun Xiao was here. He moved confidently, regardless of the treasure, even treasures of the Yang grade like the Binding God Cord were measured in tons.

"The owner of this tower could never have dreamed, even as a loyal servant to the Three Immortals, that someone would dare to brainwash his daughter and raid his stronghold."

With Tang Wenqian leading the way, with the formations turned off, there was absolutely no obstacle.

"Calamity Bones..." Yun Xiao entered a private area, where he saw dozens of jade boxes laid out, each containing a Calamity Bone.

Beside them, stone tablets detailed the types and origins of these bones, often from Yin Immortal Great Demons.

"So this is how lucrative being a lapdog is. Whose hard-earned wealth was this scavenged from?" Yun Xiao didn't hesitate to rob everything. In one swift move, all the Calamity Bones were swept into his Giant Bag of Holding.

Then, he stepped into the last secret chamber. This chamber was the most concealed, housing hundreds of black boxes.

Unlike the Calamity Bones, these boxes bore no names and were heavily disguised, clearly meant to remain unseen.

Yun Xiao opened the first box. As expected, inside lay a Sword Heart! "To be the final glimmer of Sword Cultivators, meant to secure a true path of survival for future generations, rather than lying forever in these dark, sunless boxes."

Yun Xiao closed the black box, then turned to the other hundreds. Without looking, he knew these were all top-tier Sword Hearts. If they weren't exceptional, they wouldn't be placed in this most hidden spot.

"Ancient predecessors, I, Yun Xiao, wish to borrow the last spark of your lives to create a peaceful world!

"Of course, if you're also descendants of the Three Immortals, ignore what I just said.

"You deserve to have your Sword Hearts used by me against your descendants."

While speaking, Yun Xiao packed all the black boxes into the Giant Bag of Holding.

"All done. That was exhausting, but oh so satisfying!" Yun Xiao secured the immensely heavy Giant Bag of Holding and looked around.

This VIP area was now completely empty, except for the curtains and pillars fluttering around. He had no idea how many treasures he had taken. Not that he counted! He hadn't even taken a close look at most of them.

One thing was for sure. He had made a fortune!

"If the Three Immortals take their final step, the entire Primordial Ruins will be doomed. How could their lackeys escape involvement? So, this isn't robbery; it's collecting dues for a new world!" After saying this, Yun Xiao returned to Tang Wenqian's side.

"Immortal Yun!" Tang Wenqian continued to kneel, still lost in adoration.

"I've taken away the wealth of generations of your family, yet you remain grateful to me, regarding me as a sage." Yun Xiao sighed lightly, "So, misleading others truly feels exhilarating. No wonder the Three Immortals are keen on this path."

Beings are like kindling, burning themselves to illuminate the Three Immortals, and taking pride in it. Wasn't Tang Wenqian just like that?

"Unfortunately, you've seen too much and carry clues on you. You cannot live." Yun Xiao looked at Tang Wenqian.

"To die for Immortal Yun is my honor for a hundred lifetimes." Tang Wenqian said with immense joy.

"Fine." Yun Xiao pushed aside the curtain, looking down at the bustling night market below.

Under the hidden moon's silver light, the street market of the Primordial Ruins was teeming with people, each face adorned with a silver smile.

Such was the

prosperity

of the age.

Yet, the spots covered with white cloth during the day, where the children's mutilated bodies had been, were now gone, the floors scrubbed clean. The passersby on those streets cared not that they trod upon the site of others' suffering and despair.

They laughed, rejoiced, celebrated, lighting up the lanterns, celebrating the impending birth of the Three Immortals.

Yun Xiao silently observed this scene. "Life is but a dream, fireworks fade, and all returns to dust."

The silver moonlight shone on his face, casting a layer of silver frost.

After a long while, he came back to himself, looking at Tang Wenqian on the ground, her eyes still shining with the light of a moth drawn to flame.

He crouched down, cupping Tang Wenqian's face, and said, "Go down, in front of the Jade Immortal Tower, carve the words

Devil Ark

with your own blood, then end your life."

Tang Wenqian spread her arms wide, deeply prostrating, her eyes brimming with fervor. "Thank you, Immortal Yun, for granting me eternal blessings."

▬ι══🪦✧⚰️✧🪦══ι▬

Late at night, a middle-aged man in black appeared at the entrance of the Pathseeker Palace.

"Dharma Crown He!" Not far from the entrance, there was a pavilion, where an elder was diligently practicing his Ascension Technique.

Upon noticing the man in black, he quickly ended his practice and jogged over, asking with a smile, "What brings you to Pathseeker Palace so late at night? Do you have any instructions?"

"Is Tian Yuxue inside?" The middle-aged man in black looked through the courtyard door towards the depths, where the farthest hall was pitch dark.

"Yes, everyone is here! Miss Tang from the Jade Immortal Tower is also here. They are probably having fun!" The elderly gatekeeper nodded with a chuckle, "I'll go in and announce your arrival."

"No need." The man in black waved his hand and then stepped inside.

Soon, he reached the entrance.

"Yuxue, tomorrow you will take everyone to the Mystic Zenith Temple, as the Temple Head wishes to appoint a new president," the man in black called into the interior.

However, there was no response. He sniffed the air.

"The smell of blood?" His brows suddenly furrowed. He clearly saw blood flowing out from under the door!

"Something's wrong!" The man in black violently pushed open the door.

BOOM!

The door swung open, and inside, the air was thick with the smell of blood.

Dharma Crown He's eyes narrowed as he took in the blood-drenched scene.

"No!" He was so shocked that he fell to the ground, his face pale and his heart trembling in fear!

Following his gaze, in the hall, there were the heads of 100 young people. Their eyes were wide with terror, dead with unseeing gazes.

These heads were arranged into a character with an immense evil aura.

"Devil!!!"
