Chapter 90: Chapter 91: The Bicorn Alien Race
As Lin Qian followed Nan Xin further underground, their descent widened and the path ahead gradually brightened.
Slowly, Lin Qian noticed the ground beneath him become flat, and a glimmer of light appeared ahead, growing brighter.
After a while, the area ahead opened up completely, and Lin Qian could finally see what was causing the light.
Ye Xin, beside him, covered her mouth in a low exclamation of surprise as she took in the view.
At the end of their path lay a vast space so wide that its limits were out of sight.
The floor of the entire space was made of polished sheep fat jade stone, adorned with several halls, their doors tightly shut and covered with layers of arrays locking them.
The spiritual energy in this space was extremely rich, gathered and attracted by the arrays on these halls, maintaining the operation of the arrays.
The wide space was fully illuminated by the light flashing from these arrays.
Lin Qian looked up at the dome covering the entire space, also a complex and dense array, within which flowed a black aura, seemingly suppressed tightly by the array.
“This is the Dangyuan Sect’s treasury; each hall you see before you holds endless wealth,” Nan Xin pointed to the jade stone halls on the floor ahead and said to Lin Qian, “Whether they are Primordial Weapons, Soul Devices, Pills, Cultivation Technique scriptures, or Soul Crystals, all are here.”
“You could say, nearly all of Dangyuan Sect’s assets are right before your eyes!”
“Hahaha, senior truly is my god of wealth; with these treasures, I could even dominate the entire Coastal State!” Lin Qian laughed wildly and proudly, slapping Nan Xin on the shoulder as he spoke loudly.
At that moment, Lin Qian’s ambitious and crazed look was all that occupied Nan Xin’s view, filling his mind with the excitement of the wealth before him.
“That is very good.” Nan Xin secretly smiled to himself, thinking that such a Lin Qian would be easier to fool and control.
Lin Qian turned his head, gave Nan Xin a knowingly mocking look, withdrew his hand from his shoulder, and then asked, “However, senior, seeing that these halls are all sealed by arrays, how can we access the wealth inside?”
“And, with so many treasures in the Dangyuan Sect’s treasury, how can I possibly move them all by myself?”
Seeing Lin Qian’s concerns, Nan Xin naturally reassured him, “Don’t worry. Under my guidance, once we nullify the array maintaining the soul skills, the arrays on these treasuries will naturally collapse.”
“As for how to move the treasure, just think about it—could the grand Dangyuan Sect treasury lack large space Storage Soul Devices?”
“When the time comes, using those Storage Soul Devices to gather the treasure will be a piece of cake.”
Hearing Nan Xin’s words, Lin Qian nodded incessantly, “Indeed, senior speaks wisely.”
After speaking, Lin Qian rushed over to Ye Xin, seized her hands, and exclaimed, “Xinxin, we are going to be rich!”
Ye Xin, with her hands held by Lin Qian, her phoenix eyes trembled slightly, and then she smiled radiantly, “Naturally.”
Then, Lin Qian released her hands and said to Nan Xin, “Senior, please quickly lead the way to break the array, and grant you liberation.”
“Hmph, grant me liberation, but it’s the wealth you’re thinking about, isn’t it?” Nan Xin scoffed in his heart, but his face showed gratitude as he nodded and led the way ahead.
Nan Xin turned and led the way, while Lin Qian followed behind with a smile.
Ye Xin took two slow steps and quietly looked at what she held in her hand, only to see a peculiar mirror surface lying silently in her palm.
Within this peculiar little mirror, Ye Xin was surprised to find words appearing one by one, forming a complete sentence.
“Your Highness the Queen Mother, please place the mirror face-up on the ground!”
Ye Xin’s heart tightened as she looked up and saw Lin Qian casually chatting with Nan Xin, clearly trying to divert the other’s attention.
Turning her head back, she saw the so-called walking corpses merely staring blankly ahead.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Xin gently released the small mirror, letting it slide down her soft, starlight-white dress.
As she stepped forward, the hem of her dress stirred, gently swaying the tiny mirror onto the ground.
Immediately after, Ye Xin was astonished to discover a strange luster emerging from the little mirror, which gradually became transparent.
In an instant, the little mirror vanished from the white jade floor.
Such a miraculous scene slightly amazed Ye Xin, and she quickly hastened to catch up with Lin Qian.
Seeing Ye Xin had caught up, Lin Qian continued to chat indifferently with Nan Xin while only he could see a system box that displayed a message from Zhuge Ming.
“The Queen Mother has placed the Observation Mirror, and I will now break the Array.”
Upon reading this message, Lin Qian lightly patted Ye Xin’s hand and then held it in his palm, continuing to talk to Nan Xin about some matters concerning the Dangyuan Sect.
“We have arrived,” Nan Xin said, pointing ahead.
“Ah!” Ye Xin suddenly exclaimed with her hand over her mouth as she looked ahead.
It was clearly the center of the Dangyuan Sect’s treasure vault space, where there was a high platform with a strange corpse seated on it.
The corpse had purple skin and silver hair with horns, and its bare upper body was covered in peculiar gold-embossed patterns.
The body was exceptionally well-preserved with no signs of decay, almost as if it were sleeping.
Lin Qian, looking at the corpse, also showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, clearly indicating that it was not a human but rather a being from another race.
“It seems that this otherworldly being is the one who attacked the Dangyuan Sect?” Lin Qian asked Nan Xin, pointing at the horned being as they walked around the platform.
Nodding lightly, Nan Xin replied, “Correct, this person was the leader of the initial attack on the Dangyuan Sect.”
“So the Array you wanted me to break is this one?” Lin Qian said, pointing to the heart of the otherworldly being.
Above the corpse of the otherworldly being and right under the central part of the dome array,
chains formed from Array patterns and runes hung down, piercing through the heart of the otherworldly being and firmly locking it to the platform.
“Exactly, by destroying this Array, not only will the vault’s seal be lifted, but the tormenting soul skill will also be completely removed,” Nan Xin quickly nodded, urging Lin Qian, “I hope you can definitely do us this favor. For you, it’s a simple gesture that could yield immense wealth.”
Lin Qian looked at the walking corpses that dared not come near, then glanced at Nan Xin with a playful look, “What if I don’t want to?”
