The azure cauldron emitted a divine brilliance, stunning and resplendent. Despite being only the size of a palm, it was full of spiritual intelligence. With a flash, it swiftly teleported across the air and escaped.

Bochuan was in a hurry. This was truly a rare legacy treasure. If he let it slip by, he might never encounter anything like it again.

During his thirty-nine years of training on the first level, he had only seen such legacy treasures appear four times. Unfortunately, he never had a chance to fight for it.

But now…it was different!

Just as he was about to take action, he saw a rope glowing with blinding golden light sweep through the air. It spiraled and coiled around the azure cauldron.

Just like it was wrapping itself tightly around a prey, immobilizing it completely.

Swoosh!

The next moment, the azure cauldron and the golden rope flew into Lin Xun’s hands.

The golden rope was the Treasure Bind Golden Rope, part of the spoils from Huangfu Shaonong in the Ancient Immortal Forbidden Zone.

It was a precious treasure of Heaven and Earth Dao Court, and like the legendary Treasure Drop Coin, it was said to be capable of binding Emperor treasures in the world—a truly boundless magical item.

Back then, the Treasure Bind Golden Rope even miraculously restricted the Dao Lifeless Seal for a moment, and Lin Xun had to bring out the Dao Endless Pagoda to suppress this treasure.

Lin Xun put away the Treasure Bind Golden Rope and examined the azure cauldron. Palm-sized and azure as glass, it had a layer of natural dao runes across its surface, glowing with a translucent and lustrous sheen.

Unfortunately, the cauldron was missing a leg and the mouth was chipped, which greatly ruined the flawless charm it should have.

“What a treasure.” Bochuan rushed over, his eyes glued to the azure cauldron and his face filled with irrepressible envy.

In the blink of an eye, someone else had already taken possession of the legacy treasure. However, no matter how jealous he was, he did not dare to compete with Lin Xun for it.

“Here.” Lin Xun casually tossed the little azure cauldron to Bochuan.

Flustered, he managed to catch it in the end and asked in disbelief, “You’re giving it to me?”

“I have no use for it,” Lin Xun said nonchalantly.

The azure cauldron was indeed magical, and despite its defects, it was superior to ordinary Emperor-grade treasures.

However, Lin Xun knew that if he took the cauldron, it would not take long for it to become ‘food’ for Wuque and the Broken Blade spirit.

Instead, it would be better to give it to Bochuan as a token of gratitude for his earlier ‘guidance.’

Bochuan quivered all over, overcome with emotion, and couldn’t help but blurt out, “Brother Lin, the legacy treasures left in the Dark Hidden Purgatory are no ordinary treasures. Almost all were left in the beginning of the primeval era. ṙÄ₦ǒ฿Èṡ

“If it were an ordinary treasure, after countless years of corrosion by time, it would have lost all its spiritual intelligence and faded from the world. The treasures that have been preserved to this day, still full of spiritual intelligence, are incomparable to ordinary Emperor-grade treasures!

“Are…are you really giving it to me?” he asked again in disbelief.

Lin Xun smiled. “Just take it already. Why all the fuss?”

Only then was Bochuan certain that it was for real.

Just as he was about to put away the treasure, a cold voice rang out from the distance, “Bochuan, I have been eyeing that treasure for a long time. But, I must thank you for subduing it for me. Now…hand it over.”

In the distance, several figures turned into divine rainbows and streaked across the void. There were three men and two women, all of whom exuding mighty auras and fierce power. Only those who had been through years of fighting and killing would possess such an imposing presence.

The one who spoke was the leader of the group, a purple-robed man. He stood with a blood-colored blade at his feet, his form powerful and majestic and his eyes filled with emotionless indifference.

As soon as the group arrived, their eyes locked onto the azure cauldron in Bochuan’s hand, and they couldn’t help but reveal a covetous desire.

“Liu Xiao, what do you mean you already had your eyes on this treasure?” Bochuan’s face was dark.

Although he and Liu Xiao and others all came from Copper Sparrow House, their relationship was not particularly good, especially in the Dark Hidden Purgatory, where competition among them was intense.

Disputes over treasures were common, and as long as no one was killed, Copper Sparrow House would not get involved in such trivial matters.

Liu Xiao calmly said, “Bochuan, I know you won’t willingly give it up. How about this? I also won’t let you work for nothing. Take these ten Dao Essence Crystals as a reward for helping me subdue the treasure.”

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers and a row of dazzling Dao Essence Crystals flew out, and exactly ten rolled onto the ground in front of Bochuan.

“You think ten Dao Essence Crystals is enough to exchange for a magical and extraordinary legacy treasure!?” Bochuan’s face turned livid, and he was so angry that it looked like smoke was rising from his head. “What if I refuse?”

Liu Xiao laughed, and the other two men and women beside him also burst out laughing, their expressions filled with mockery, pity, and disdain.

As supreme quasi-Emperors, they were no strangers to the dangers of the world, who would not understand what would happen next?

Bochuan’s action was nothing but frustration over the situation.

Lin Xun could also see that.

He was also well aware that this sort of situation was very common. In the Ancient Nebula Road, violent clashes over treasures were a common sight.

However, the key point was that the azure cauldron was a gift from him to Bochuan!

At this moment, Bochuan glanced at Lin Xun, his expression helpless, frustrated and bitter.

“What? Do you plan to take a chance with your friend and see if you can defend this treasure?” A woman with a seductive figure and skin as white as snow spoke aloud. Her lips were a fiery red, and her eyes shone with an irresistible charm.

A thin man joined in, “This friend does not look familiar at all. Are you new here? I advise you to stay away from Bochuan. He has offended someone he shouldn’t have a few years ago. Now, no one dares to work with him in the Dark Hidden Purgatory anymore.”

“You…” Anger flashed in Bochuan’s eyes and veins popped on his forehead. Clearly, the thin man’s words had hit a nerve.

The thin man continued sarcastically, “What? Am I wrong? Nine years ago, which fool was it that offended Senior Brother Meng Xingzi because of a woman?”

“Enough!” Bochuan’s voice became hoarse and his eyes reddened.

The thin man chuckled to himself. “Look, look, he’s all flustered and angry out of shame and embarrassment.”

He turned to Lin Xun and said, “My friend, I have made it very clear to you. You are new here so you don’t know anything. But I advise you to stay far away from Bochuan. Otherwise, if Senior Brother Meng Xingzi sees you guys together, you will be in big trouble.”

Lin Xun had no idea who Meng Xingzi was, nor did he care. At this moment, he didn’t even know the identities of the people who had come to rob them.

None of that mattered. Would Lin Xun care who they were?

Moreover, at this point, he had already lost his patience.

“I subdued that treasure, and I agreed to work with Bochuan. Now, I only have one question for you guys, are you sure you want to block my path?” Lin Xun’s expression was indifferent, and he spoke in a casual tone of voice.

The moment those words came out, Liu Xiao, the thin man, and the others were all taken aback. They seemed to not expect the newcomer to be so unyielding.

Liu Xiao raised his eyebrows, his expression cold and displeased. “Friend, you...”

Before he finished his sentence.

An unparalleled aura erupted from Lin Xun, bearing down on Liu Xiao like a powerful tidal wave.

Liu Xiao gasped, and with a loud bang, he flew across the air and slammed hard into the ground dozens of meters away, coughing up blood.

The entire area fell utterly silent, and everyone’s eyes were wide with shock.

Lin Xun said calmly, “I only asked if you are going to block my path. I don’t want to continue to hear your nonsense. Also, you are not worthy of being my friend.

“Bochuan, let’s go.”

As he said that, he lifted his foot and strode forward.

𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

“Do you know what you are doing?”

The thin man had a fierce appearance but he was very timid; he had already sensed that somehow was wrong.

Bang!

The next moment, he was blasted across the air like a snapped kite, blood running down from his nose and mouth. He was unable to block or resist at all.

The seductive woman and the other man were both chilled to the bone, as if they had fallen into an ice cave. They realized that they had kicked an iron wall, and color was drained from their faces.

Liu Xiao and the thin man were both second-level quasi-Emperors, who had the foundation and ability to train on the second level of the Dark Hidden Purgatory.

Yet, at this moment, they seemed completely powerless, unable to even withstand the opponent’s aura!

So terrifying!

Suddenly, their eyes were filled with fear and shock when they looked at Lin Xun again. They never imagined him to be such a powerful existence.

Lin Xun ignored them and walked away with Bochuan.

Liu Xiao might be considered an elite figure among his peers, and he even possessed the foundation that would earn the respect of any major force. However, in Lin Xun’s eyes, if they were in the outside world, he would have killed him already.

Clang!

A sharp hum of a blade rang out, as a ray of thunderous blade qi surged upward, slicing through the air, aiming for Lin Xun from behind.

The blade qi was fierce and dazzling, but Lin Xun did not even turn his head back. Instead, a force as vast and powerful as an abyss gathered around him and easily crushed the blade qi.

The sneak attack was launched by Liu Xiao. His expression dramatically changed at the scene and he bolted into the distance without hesitation.

Chi!

Unfortunately, faster than him was a streak of blindingly bright sword qi, flashing through the void. It pierced a hole into his chest and left him screaming in agony.

At that moment, he thought that he was dead. That streak of sword qi...was unparalleled in power, so overwhelming that it filled him with despair.

“If you want to die, then continue.” In the distance, Lin Xun uttered indifferently.

Liu Xiao trembled all over, expression morphing indefinitely. The others were just as terrified, frozen with fear like cicadas in the cold of winter.

They dared not make any further movements until Lin Xun disappeared from their sight. The scene just now had truly shaken them to the core.

“Let’s go!” After a long while, Liu Xiao got up, his face livid.

“Where are we going?” asked the seductive woman.

“To find Senior Brother Meng Xingzi!” Liu Xiao clenched his jaw and spat each word, his eyes burning with hatred.

Meanwhile, Bochuan, who was following Lin Xun, opened his mouth and was about to say something when Lin Xun interrupted, “I wasn’t helping you. They were blocking the path.”

With a complicated look on his face, Bochuan said aloud, “Brother Lin, what they said is right. If you travel with me, you will be treated with hostility. Let’s...go separate ways! Your help and your gift… I will definitely do my best to repay you for everything!”

He turned around to leave.

He didn’t want to bring trouble to Lin Xun.
