“How…could this be?”
“What happened to those outlanders?”
The members of the Gong Family were shocked and dumbfounded on the spot! They didn’t believe what they had seen!
Several figures were in the Beast Soul Bag opened by Xu Que. And those figures were the powerhouses at the summit of the Form Synthesis Stage and at the threshold of the Crossing Calamity Stage, whom everyone had thought were invincible!
What the hell is going on?
Those seniors couldn’t even die fighting. How could they be subdued in the Beast Soul Bag?
How could this be possible?
The members of the Gong Family were stunned and couldn’t believe their eyes. For what they had seen was too extraordinary. It had gone beyond the limits of their imaginations about strength! Several powerhouses at the threshold of the Crossing Calamity Stage had been captured by a young man at the Void Training Stage. This was even more amazing than just killing them!
“Don’t stare emptily at me. Where is your treasury house? Could you show me around? I am in a hurry for I have to go to the Bai Family after this. As fellow cultivators of the East Continent, we should visit each other frequently to enhance our relationship!” Xu Que said earnestly.
The members of the Gong Family pursed their lips.
You are here to enhance our relationship? Stop your nonsense!
There is no relationship between you and us!
You can visit us, but why do you want to visit our treasury house?
Only a shameless person like him could describe plunder in such a new and graceful way!
“Alas, open the treasury house!” the Patriarch of the Gong Family sighed and said, shaking his head at last. He was quite clear that the Gong Family stood no chance to defeat Xu Que, who had captured the outlanders at the threshold of the Crossing Calamity Stage alive! Maybe they would end up more miserably than them if they tried to resist Xu Que. Therefore, they could stay alive by just surrendering some treasures because where there is life, there is hope!
The rest of the members of the Gong Family were speechless. Although they were quite reluctant, none of them dared to say no! After all, they had experienced Xu Que’s ferocious measures. They came to no good end whenever they tried to confront Xu Que. Moreover, this time the Gong Family was even not qualified to confront Xu Que!
“Open the treasury house!” The Master of the Gong Family also said reluctantly and helplessly. Then, he walked to a wall of the meeting hall together with several Elders.
Boom!
They inserted jade keys into the wall together. Then, the entire wall was turned into two giant doors, which opened slowly to each side.
A strand of archaic aura gushed out together with intense Spiritual Qi! The treasury house of the Gong Family was hidden in their meeting hall. Now that they opened the treasury house directly, it meant they were ready to lose wealth to avoid misfortune!
What a pity! The treasury house of the Jiang Family, which would also be extraordinary, has been buried in the ruins!
Thinking about that, Xu Que’s eyelids twitched a bit. Although the treasuries of these big families were not that attractive to him, nobody would say no to magical artifacts and Spirit Stones!
“My young friend, since you said these two children were quite gifted, the Gong Family, as one of the big families of the East Continent, should give them some gifts. Now that the treasury house is opened, the kids could choose things they like from it!” the Patriarch of the Gong Family said generously. However, everyone could sense reluctance and helplessness in his words.
However, it was not something Xu Que cared about. He said to the children directly, “Come on, you two, just look around inside and take whatever you like. Just help yourselves!”
“Ah? Really?” It seemed the children didn’t dare to do that. Because numerous eyes in the meeting hall were fixed on them now.
“Of course! Just do it. If you sense threats from someone’s eyes, tell me and I will erase this guy from this world!” Xu Que said coldly to warn the members of the Gong Family!
Hearing that, the members of the Gong Family started to sweat. Then, they turned around and didn’t dare look at the children anymore! The children were relieved, and they smiled and said, “Our brother-in-law is so nice!” After saying that, they ran into the treasury house in delight.
They were quite young and had just reached Level 4 or 5 of the Qi Refining Stage. Although they knew something about evaluating magical artifacts with intense Spiritual Qi, they could still be attracted by some gaudy items.
The little girl walked to a shelf of magical artifacts. She was attracted by a dazzling silvery needle and tried to grab it with her hand. Seeing that, the members of the Gong Family couldn’t help but smile secretly. The silvery needle seemed quite powerful. Actually, it was just a Six-Star magical artifact. As a concealed weapon, it was much less precious than those Eight-Star and Nine-Star magical artifacts in the treasury house!
“Linlin, you can’t do that! Members of the Exploding Heavens Faction must keep their words. Just now we said we won’t take a single needle or a piece of thread away. We should keep our word!” Xu Que reminded her suddenly.
The little girl was surprised. She turned around and said, nodding her head, “OK, brother-in-law, I know that. My mother also used to tell us to keep our word!”
After saying that, she ignored the silvery needle and started to look at other magical artifacts on the shelf.
Shit!
The members of the Gong Family couldn’t help but curse secretly in their hearts.
You won’t take a single needle and a piece of thread?
Damn!
We didn’t stop you from taking a single needle and a piece of thread! Just take it!
“Brother-in-law, I want that round moon!” Jiang Linlin pointed at an archaic round jade at the top of the shelf with her lovely little finger.
The round jade was as large as a plate. It was silvery white and covered by a faint halo. If looked at from afar, it was really like a round moon!
The members of the Gong Family’s eyes widened. Even several Patriarchs changed their expressions!
“Oh…no!”
“That’s one of the rare heirlooms of the Gong Family!”
“The Heart Purity Bright-Moon Jade is no longer a magical artifact but a Two-Star Spiritual Artifact. It is even quite rare in the four continents!”
“This kid is only at Level 4 of the Qi Refining Stage, how could she use it? It is totally useless for her!”
Many people were torn with anxiety and couldn’t help but whisper in low voices.
“Wow! Linlin really has good taste! Let me take the moon for you!” Xu Que ignored the reaction of the Gong Family. He waved his hand to put the Heart Purity Bright-Moon Jade into Jiang Linlin’s hands!
Since she was only a little girl, Jiang Linlin thought she really had the moon. She jumped up in delight, “Awesome, brother-in-law, now I have a moon!”
The faces of the Gong Family’s members were as black as coal! Several Patriarchs of the Gong Family just suppressed their grief and closed their eyes with difficulty, pretending they had seen nothing.
After all, out of sight, out of mind!
“Brother-in-law, I want that black bamboo pole!” Jiang Taixu pointed at the altar at the center of the treasury house.
The black bamboo pole?
Xu Que was surprised!
The members of the Gong Family were also surprised. There is no black bamboo pole in our treasury house!
When they saw the item that was being pointed at by Jiang Taixu, they almost spit blood because of anger! Damn! It’s not a black bamboo pole! That’s the personal Spiritual Artifact of the Gong Family’s founder – the Nether Black Flame Spear!
