"Hm?" Huo Lian was somewhat surprised by Huang Xiao's reaction.
"Please forgive me, Patriarch. I concealed this matter from you," Huang Xiao said.
"You mean obtaining the treasure inside the box?" Huo Lian laughed heartily. "If you really obtained some extraordinary treasure and hid it, not daring to tell anyone, that would only be human nature. How could this old man blame you? Tell me, what fine thing is it?"
Only after hearing this did Huang Xiao speak. "The Supreme Evil Crystal."
The smile on Huo Lian's face abruptly froze at those words.
"What did you say?" Huo Lian asked, his eyes widening.
He believed he could not have misheard, but Huang Xiao's words were so unexpected that even he found them hard to believe.
Huang Xiao was not particularly surprised by the Patriarch's astonishment.
Without offering much explanation, he opened the box directly.
The instant the box opened, two powerful auras erupted from it.
The two auras intertwined with the Ghost Qi already present, filling the secret chamber with an oppressive force.
Huang Xiao's strength had improved again, and he was also quite familiar with the three auras, so he could withstand them.
As for Huo Lian, with his strength, he had nothing to fear from these auras.
Huo Lian's eyes narrowed as he stared fixedly at the two objects inside the box.
He had seen the Supreme Evil Crystal before, and there it was, lying quietly inside the box.
But besides the Supreme Evil Crystal, the box also contained a pearl that gave off powerful Demon Qi.
"The Supreme Demon Pearl?" Only with considerable effort did Huo Lian shift his gaze away from the box and look at Huang Xiao as he asked.
"Yes, it is indeed the Supreme Demon Pearl. I obtained it through a chance encounter.
