Purple Mansion's Lost Treasure?

At their first clash, the Golden Core Demon Cultivator's attack was shattered by the divine lightning Elder Willow Wood had summoned!

"Hmph!"

The Golden Core Demon Cultivator snorted coldly and said in exasperation:

"You Shushan ox-nosed priest! Take this!"

In an instant, surging blood mist rose around the Golden Core Demon Cultivator.

The blood mist rapidly condensed, transforming into a ferocious blood dragon that roared as it charged toward Elder Willow Wood.

"A mere early-stage Golden Core cultivator dares to act so wildly before this elder?"

Elder Willow Wood's expression hardened. Brilliant spiritual light bloomed from the longsword in his hand as he swept its edge.

"Azure Wood Sword Art—Myriad Leaf Slash!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

A vast tide of Sword Qi spread outward, then transformed into countless azure leaves, each as sharp as a blade.

In less than a moment, they collided with the blood dragon formed from the blood mist.

"Bang! Bang!"

Amid an ear-splitting boom, the blood dragon was shredded to pieces by the countless leaf-like Sword Qi.

Seeing this, the Golden Core Demon Cultivator gave a sinister laugh and formed hand seals.

"Blood Fiend Demon Art—Soul-Devouring Blood Claw!"

Immediately afterward, the Golden Core Demon Cultivator reached out with one hand!

"Rumble!"

The void tore open, and a hundred-zhang blood claw appeared from thin air, carrying Sha Qi that corroded all things as it viciously clawed down at Willow Wood.

Elder Willow Wood snorted and swept his sleeve.

"Mysterious Wood Shield!"

"Buzz!"

A simple, ancient wooden shield appeared before him.

Its surface was inscribed with all manner of profound Runes, forcibly blocking the blood claw.

However, the Blood Fiend power was extraordinarily corrosive, and the wooden shield began to crack.

Willow Wood frowned and hurriedly unleashed another attack.

"Azure Wood Genesis Bind!"

As Willow Wood stirred his spiritual energy, countless vines appeared in midair, winding straight toward the blood claw.

The Golden Core Demon Cultivator roared, and the Blood Fiend Qi around his body surged explosively.

"Blood Fiend Burns the Heavens!"

"Boom!"

Towering blood flames erupted, instantly burning the entwining vines to ashes.

Taking advantage of that opening, the Golden Core Demon Cultivator soared into the sky and pressed his hands together.

"Blood Demon True Form Manifestation!"

Looking again, a hundred-zhang phantom of a blood demon had appeared, with three heads and six arms, its Sha Qi soaring into the heavens.

The next moment, the six arms of the blood demon phantom formed by the Golden Core Demon Cultivator swept out and pressed down in suppression.

"Rumble rumble rumble!"

Terrifying pressure descended, blanketing heaven and earth. The world turned grim and murderous!

"Heavenly Wood Divine Sword!"

Seeing this, Willow Wood released the longsword in his hand. It expanded wildly in the wind.

In an instant, it transformed into a colossal sword that pierced the heavens, its blade entwined with the phantom of an azure dragon, its might shocking the sky!

"Slash!"

With one slash, Sword Qi flooded the heavens with radiance!

"Bang!"

The attack bearing down on Willow Wood with crushing force shattered outright.

Even the Golden Core Demon Cultivator's Blood Demon True Form was forcibly cleaved in two by Elder Willow Wood's strike.

The aftermath swept across a thousand zhang, collapsing mountains and splitting the earth!

Watching the scenes of those two Golden Core masters clashing.

Liu Ruyan and the other disciples were all dumbstruck.

"This is... a Golden Core battle?"

Liu Ruyan cried out in shock.

Just then, several dozen Demon Cultivators appeared in the distance, each with a savage face and murderous aura.

"Kill them! Leave none alive!"

The leading Demon Cultivator shouted fiercely.

Liu Ruyan's beautiful eyes narrowed. A dazzling cold gleam flashed from the longsword in her hand, but just as she was about to strike, Chen Changqing stopped her.

"Senior Sister, stay here and watch the battle. A Golden Core battle is greatly beneficial to cultivation."

Chen Changqing smiled faintly, then added:

"As for these small fry... leave them to me."

Liu Ruyan froze. Before she could speak, Chen Changqing had already turned into an afterimage and charged straight toward the Demon Cultivators.

"Has he gone mad?"

"A mere Fifth Layer of Qi Refining cultivator dares to face several dozen Demon Cultivators alone?"

"And he wants us to stay here and observe the battle for enlightenment?"

"Can this kid really do it?"

The other disciples frowned deeply at the sight.

Earlier, they had seen Chen Changqing make his move, and he had killed decisively. But this time, several dozen Demon Cultivators were charging at him.

"Since he dares say such things, he must have some means."

At that moment, Liu Ruyan spoke, choosing to believe in Chen Changqing.

Hearing this, the other disciples gave it no further thought and shifted their attention back to the battle between the two Golden Core powerhouses.

What they did not know was why Chen Changqing had done this.

It was because, in his eyes, these Demon Cultivators were not enemies at all, but walking Experience Babies!

Before long.

Chen Changqing had already rushed before those Demon Cultivators.

"Whoosh!"

The Chengying Sword emerged. Its ink-black sword light was like Death's scythe, instantly beheading three Demon Cultivators!

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

Blood sprayed everywhere. Chen Changqing moved like a ghost through the Demon Cultivators, every sword strike precisely harvesting a life.

[Ding!]

[Killed a Demon Cultivator. AFK Point +10.]

[Ding!]

[Killed a Demon Cultivator. AFK Point +20.]

[Ding...]

The system notifications rang frantically. Hearing them, a meaningful curve rose at the corner of Chen Changqing's lips.

"Awesome!"

Chen Changqing was thrilled.

When he had killed Demon Cultivators earlier, he had discovered something.

As he killed more Demon Cultivators, the AFK Points he received would also stack.

At first, he had only gained one AFK Point, but now killing a single Demon Cultivator could earn him dozens of points.

Seeing how formidable Chen Changqing was, those Qi Refining Realm Demon Cultivators.

One by one, they immediately lost the will to fight.

"Run! Run now!"

The remaining Demon Cultivators began to scatter in flight.

How was this a disciple of the righteous path?

He was clearly a God of Slaughter even more savage than the Demonic Sect!

Seeing this, Chen Changqing gave a cold laugh. How could he possibly let these Experience Babies slip away so easily?

"Trying to leave? Too late!"

"Boom!"

His figure flashed as Chen Changqing directly unleashed the Thunderclap Divine Fist. Lightning ran rampant, and the bodies of the Demon Cultivators were blasted into blood mist one after another!

Not long afterward, of the original several dozen Demon Cultivators, only one remained!

"Bang!"

Chen Changqing threw a punch, and the Demon Cultivator raised his power to block it.

"Pfft!"

Under that violent fist force, the Demon Cultivator immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and crashed heavily to the ground.

Before he could rise, Chen Changqing had already planted a foot on his chest.

"This?"

The Demon Cultivator froze. Looking up, he found the Chengying Sword pressed directly against his throat.

"Speak. Why have you come here?"

"If you confess honestly, I can spare your life!"

Hearing this, the Demon Cultivator said tremblingly:

"We... we were only ordered to slaughter villages... and gather blood qi."

Seeing the Demon Cultivator stammering, Chen Changqing sensed something was wrong. With a flick of his blade, blood immediately seeped from the Demon Cultivator's neck.

"I'll give you one last chance!"

At those words, the Demon Cultivator was frightened out of his wits and hurriedly said:

"D-Don't kill me!"

"I'll talk! This time, our Demonic Sect came here to find the True Person of the Violet Mansion's hidden treasure!"

"True Person of the Violet Mansion?"

Chen Changqing's pupils contracted.

One had to know that the second realm of immortal cultivation was:

Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Golden Core!

And True Person of the Violet Mansion was a terrifying existence that transcended Golden Core.

Even in the Mount Shu Sect, such a figure would be a great power at the level of a Peak Master!

"Such a powerful figure actually left behind a treasure here?"

Chen Changqing asked in astonishment.
