Treasure Cave

Tianyang Plaza had already become a field of ruins.

Amid the wreckage lay a gigantic crater, and within it sprawled a blood-drenched figure.

That person was Qin Tianba!

At this moment, where was the majesty of a family head? Every bone in Qin Tianba's body had shattered. He was a mangled mass of flesh and blood, lying limp as a dead dog.

"Still not dead?"

Lu Changsheng walked over and saw Qin Tianba struggling faintly.

"You little beast! I never thought this old man would fall into your hands!"

Qin Tianba's face was covered in blood, his icy gaze brimming with venomous hatred.

"But don't get smug. The Qin Family will not be wiped out! Qin Wentian, the Qin Family's greatest genius, ranks first on the Lingxiao Sect's Outer Disciples Ranking. He will definitely kill you for me!"

Qin Tianba gritted his teeth.

Qin Wentian!

The moment he heard that name, killing intent suddenly surged in Lu Changsheng's eyes.

If Qin Wentian had not tried to seize his treasure in the outer sect and left three Bone Corroding Nails in his body, he would never have retaliated against the Qin Family like this!

At the mention of Qin Wentian, Lu Changsheng's killing intent toward Qin Tianba grew even fiercer!

The debt Qin Wentian had left behind would be repaid today with the Qin Family's blood!

At that moment, Lu Changsheng's gaze swept over a bluish-gray boulder at the edge of the pit, as large as a millstone and sharp-edged. He immediately lifted it and smashed it down at Qin Tianba's head without hesitation.

Bang!

"Ah!"

With a miserable scream, Qin Tianba's brains burst apart, blood splattering everywhere!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Lu Changsheng vented the fury in his heart upon Qin Tianba, repeatedly smashing the boulder into his head until blood stained the earth red and Qin Tianba had been battered beyond recognition!

Tianyang Plaza fell deathly silent. Every martial artist who looked at Lu Changsheng felt a chill run through their heart. They had seen with their own eyes as he raised that boulder and smashed Qin Tianba until his brains burst out.

He was truly ruthless!

Not far away, Blood Demon Ancestor and Zhou Qingtian, who had been locked in fierce battle, also stopped fighting. When they saw Qin Tianba's corpse and his head smashed open with brains spilling out, they were too stunned to speak.

Stormy waves crashed through both their hearts. No matter how they thought about it, they had never expected Qin Tianba to be killed by Lu Changsheng!

One had to know that Qin Tianba had been a sixth level of Divine Palace Realm expert!

"Hehehe, this brat is truly ruthless. This old man had best not provoke someone like him!"

Blood Demon Ancestor gave an eerie laugh. He made his decision at once, dense bloody aura erupting from his body. Then he turned into a viscous blood shadow and swiftly fled, vanishing without a trace.

Blood Demon Ancestor knew well that since even someone like Qin Tianba had fallen, he would likely lose his life if he stayed behind.

Zhou Qingtian did not pursue him. His chest heaved violently, and the aura around him was somewhat disordered. Clearly, his earlier fierce battle against Blood Demon Ancestor had drained him greatly.

However, when he saw that Qin Tianba, the Qin Family's patriarch, had fallen, Zhou Qingtian quickly realized that this was the best opportunity to wipe out the Qin Family!

"Zhou Family members, heed my command! Qin Tianba and his son have been executed. Now is the time to eradicate the Qin Family! Kill every single Qin Family clansman!"

Zhou Qingtian's voice boomed like thunder.

"Kill!!!"

In an instant, earth-shaking roars erupted from the Zhou Family's camp. Under Zhou Zhirou's lead, the Zhou Family clansmen charged like tigers released from their cage, slaughtering their way madly toward the Qin Family clansmen.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the blink of an eye, the two great families were locked in a bloody battle across Tianyang Plaza. Weapons clashed fiercely, and spiritual power rumbled.

Yet this battle was almost entirely a one-sided massacre. Miserable cries rang out one after another, while countless Qin Family clansmen wept to heaven and wailed to earth!

The Qin Family had become a dragon without a head, scattered like loose sand. Under the Zhou Family's encirclement and suppression, the Qin Family clansmen were scared out of their wits and thrown into chaos.

Before long, the Qin Family clansmen were either dead or fleeing.

Countless Qin Family corpses lay strewn across the plaza, and the air was thick with the stench of blood.

"Young Friend Lu, this old man will never forget today's great favor. If not for your mighty display today, our Zhou Family would likely have found it difficult to escape this calamity!"

Zhou Qingtian led the Zhou Family clansmen toward Lu Changsheng. He solemnly clasped his fists, his gratitude boundless.

His words of thanks came from the bottom of his heart. Without Lu Changsheng today, Qin Tianba and Blood Demon Ancestor joining forces would truly have been more than the Zhou Family could withstand.

"Patriarch Zhou, you are too kind. Senior Sister Zhou once showed me kindness. Today, I merely repaid her favor."

Lu Changsheng smiled faintly.

"Father, we have already killed more than half of the Qin Family clansmen. We should pull up the weeds by the roots now. We must lead our people to break into the Qin residence!"

Zhou Zhirou said in a grave voice.

"You are right!"

Zhou Qingtian nodded.

At once, Zhou Qingtian and Lu Changsheng led the Zhou Family clansmen swiftly toward the Qin Family residence. The Qin Family clansmen had long received the terrible news, and more than half had already fled. By the time Zhou Qingtian and the others arrived, the Qin Family was little more than an empty shell. Naturally, they captured it without the slightest effort.

"Patriarch, we discovered a Treasure Cave on the back mountain of the Qin residence!"

At that moment, a clansman suddenly reported to Zhou Qingtian. They had searched the Qin residence inside and out, and had discovered a Treasure Cave on the back mountain.

"Come, let us take a look!"

Zhou Qingtian said gravely.

Before long, everyone arrived at the back mountain of the Qin residence. A towering peak stood there. Halfway up its slope, an extremely well-hidden cave dwelling was concealed.

"This is the Treasure Cave?"

Lu Changsheng and the others arrived before the cave dwelling, where a dark-red bronze door stood before them.

Boom!

Zhou Qingtian struck out with his palm, blasting the enormous bronze door apart. Then the group entered the cave dwelling.

The instant they entered, rich, pure spiritual energy mixed with the scent of long-sealed dust rushed toward them. The cave was not as dark as they had imagined. Night-Shining Pearls embedded in the walls illuminated the interior brightly.

The sight before them made everyone catch their breath!

The cavern was extraordinarily spacious, as though half the mountain's belly had been hollowed out. It was filled with every kind of cultivation resource!

Crates upon crates of neatly stacked Spirit Stones glimmered in every color like small mountains. Rows of weapon racks held sabers, spears, swords, and halberds flashing with cold light, the lowest of them being High-grade Mortal Tier, with quite a few spiritual artifacts among them. Jade bottles and jade boxes were piled high as mountains, containing all manner of precious pills.

There were also vast quantities of rare ores, spiritual herbs, and demoniac beast materials... a dazzling array piled like mountains, radiating treasure light that intoxicated the heart!

The treasures stored within this treasury were truly abundant beyond measure!

"Hiss... The Qin Family's hundred years of accumulation are indeed immense!" Even Zhou Qingtian, with all his experience and knowledge, could not help drawing in a cold breath. His eyes were filled with shock and wild joy. With these resources, the Zhou Family's strength would surely soar by leaps and bounds!

"Hahaha! Quickly! Move all these treasures away for me!"

Zhou Qingtian laughed wildly without end.

Lu Changsheng was equally astonished. The Qin Family was truly wealthy. This Treasure Cave actually contained so many treasures.

While the Zhou Family clansmen moved away the various treasures, Zhou Qingtian, Lu Changsheng, and the others ventured deeper into the Treasure Cave.

"Hm?"

At that moment, they suddenly saw a massive Stone Platform at the deepest part of the Treasure Cave. Two brocade boxes floated above the enormous Stone Platform, and mysterious energy fluctuations spread out from them.

"Could these two treasures be the Qin Family's Treasured Artifacts?!"

Zhou Qingtian's eyes burned with excitement.

Family's Treasured Artifacts?

Upon hearing those words, strange looks appeared in everyone's eyes. Just what treasures were hidden inside those brocade boxes?
