Volume 7 Chapter 74: The Eerie Treasure Hunt (5)

"Let’s start."

With Mr. Liu’s calm words, not only Liu Ziqing and Wang Zegang, but even Xu Qingfan’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

It had been about ten days since they entered the "Azure Crystal Treasure House." During this time, apart from defeating a member of the Shura Clan, Xu Qingfan and the others had been following Mr. Liu on the road. They encountered countless treasures along the way but could only watch longingly because of Mr. Liu’s restrictions. Although everyone maintained a calm appearance, inside, they were more anxious and eager than ever before.

At this moment, as Mr. Liu finished speaking, the starry world around them, while still dazzling and mysterious, felt a little less heavy and more beautiful than before. The brilliant stars in the sky shone incredibly bright at this moment.

"Then, Gang, you will use the ‘Spirit Ghost Banner.’ Qingfan, you will use the ‘Trapped Spirit Net,’ moving along with the Spirit Ghost inside the ‘Spirit Ghost Banner.’ Liu Ziqing, your mind is different from others. Though your senses are weak inside the ‘Azure Crystal Treasure House,’ your detection range is still better than mine and Qingfan’s, so you need to be on guard."

Mr. Liu shared the magic tools he held with Xu Qingfan and Wang Zegang, giving instructions.

"What about you, senior?"

Xu Qingfan asked.

"I am in charge of succeeding."

Mr. Liu responded with a smile, like a crafty old trickster who got a great deal.

Xu Qingfan’s eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, but he nodded and agreed with a smile.

The technique of "Whispering in Secret" relies on the vibrations of the Spirit Qi of heaven and earth or the connection between minds. However, inside the ‘Azure Crystal Treasure House,’ the mind cannot expand, and there is no Spirit Qi at all, so Mr. Liu could only subtly convey messages while handing the magical tools to Xu Qingfan and Wang Zegang.

The moment Mr. Liu placed the "Trapped Spirit Net" into Xu Qingfan’s hands, he quickly wrote the word "Be careful" on Xu Qingfan’s palm.

In fact, Xu Qingfan also discovered it.

It is said that one should not be too greedy; one must be patient. A small lack of patience can ruin a big plan.

Earlier, when Xu Qingfan and the others passed by, they saw a piece of "Azure Crystal Dust" the size of a fist right beside them. Such a large "Azure Crystal Dust" is truly special; among a million stars, its light shines like a full moon. At that time, Wang Zegang was ready to take it by force, but Mr. Liu stopped him. According to him, there were better ones deeper in, but since they came here, Xu Qingfan has not found another piece of "Azure Crystal Dust" of better quality than the one before.

After that, Xu Qingfan and his friends continued their journey with a sense of regret. Not long after, the space inside the "Azure Crystal Treasure House" suddenly rippled, a sign that a nearby treasure had been taken away forcefully.

When Xu Qingfan and the others turned to look back, they found that the "Azure Crystal Dust," which shone brightly like the moon, had vanished.

However, Mr. Liu only informed Xu Qingfan and Wang Zegang. He unconsciously moved closer to them, seemingly ready to help, but he forgot about Liu Ziqing. It was unclear whether he thought Liu Ziqing could take care of himself or if he intended to use Liu Ziqing as bait.

On the other hand, Liu Ziqing appeared to know nothing. He smiled as he watched the three in front of him casting spells.

Under Wang Zegang’s command, the "Spirit Ghost Banner" in his hand suddenly grew many times larger, floating in the air. In the sparkling rainbow light, over a hundred Spirit Ghosts, glowing softly with white light, suddenly appeared and rushed out in all directions.

Inside the "Azure Crystal Treasure House," where directions were unclear, these Spirit Ghosts allowed everyone to quickly find the nearest and most precious treasures. It saved them from flying a long way to a star only to discover it was too far to reach, wasting their time.

However, in Xu Qingfan’s color, some Spirit Ghosts flew towards the crowd, and the top treasures in the hands of the experts contained even more spirit than most of the treasures in the "Azure Crystal Treasure House."

The reason why Wang Zegang, the weakest, was chosen to use the "Spirit Ghost Banner" was to reduce the enemies’ vigilance behind them.

At the same time, a thousand feet behind Xu Qingfan and the others, a cold-eyed scholar master looked in the direction of the warrior master’s hidden position, his gaze icy yet mocking, thinking to himself, "This guy Wu Da is really greedy, even now he has the mind to collect treasures. Doesn’t he know that after this is all done, the countless treasures in the ‘Azure Crystal Treasure House’ will belong to either him or me? Well, Liu Ji is focusing on him, which works to my advantage."

On the other side, the warrior master also looked coldly and mockingly at the scholar master, while slightly raising his hand, sending a trail of starlight flying towards the scholar master’s approximate location.

This trail of starlight was the precious "Azure Crystal Dust" he had collected before.

"You think you are clever, but you are just a mantis trying to catch a cicada, unaware that in the end, you might be caught by the cicada instead."

Meanwhile, Xu Qingfan had already begun to use the "Trapped Spirit Net," calmly collecting treasures.

…

At the same time, outside the "Azure Crystal Treasure House," in the Shenzhou Continent, in the bustling southwest of Middle-earth.

On the day the "Azure Crystal Treasure House" opens, all the masters in the world gather, but only one top master is missing.

It is the top expert from the "Ming" organization—Xuan!

At this moment, Xuan, carrying seven swords, silently moves towards a certain place, looking tense despite his skill. His destination is the "Shura Holy Pearl," a place weakened by the chaos in You State and the "Azure Crystal Treasure House."

Meanwhile, at the same time, all the experts from the Rainbow Spirit Seven Islands, who have just escaped the fighting between the You State Shura Clan and the Zhong family, are secretly heading to the same destination.

However, neither side is aware of the other’s existence.

Chaos, unexpected events, coincidences, and strange happenings are everywhere at this moment.

When this battle ends, the fate of the world may already be set.
