Chapter 96

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the treasure crystals and jade in the treasure vault, including the Zong's most precious treasure, the Purple Vein Heavenly Crystal, were all taken by Yun Che and stored in the Heavenly Poison Pearl. Immediately, Yun Che's gaze turned to the weapon rack over thirty meters long. The weapons and armors placed here were all extraordinary. Especially the Tiger Soul Sword hanging in the center, which exuded a regal aura amidst the hundreds of supreme weapons, making one involuntarily fix their gaze on it at first sight.

Swords, knives, blades, spears, halberds, whips... all kinds of weapons were available, with swords being the most numerous. After all, the Xiao Sect, like the Heavenly Sword Manor, primarily used swords. Yun Che threw all these weapons into the Heavenly Poison Pearl, then opened a metal box not too large below the weapon rack. A pungent smell of gunpowder immediately hit his nose, and the contents inside made him slightly stunned.

This metal box contained three very short and oddly shaped weapons, as well as nine iron spheres about the size of a fist. He picked up the weapon, looking at it with a puzzled expression... From the feel of it, this odd weapon was made of fine steel, the material not being particularly precious, and could even be considered somewhat shabby compared to all the weapons in the treasure vault. However, it gave Yun Che a very dangerous feeling. It was shaped like a corner, about the length of an adult's arm, and felt heavy in his hand.

Flipping it over, Yun Che saw a small label:

Poison Fire Musket!

Musket?

In Yun Che's understanding, a musket should refer to the hole in the handle of an axe, but here, it appeared in the name of an odd weapon. Yun Che had never seen this weapon before, nor had he heard of its name, leaving him puzzled... Could this not be a weapon? But why was it placed under the weapon rack? If it were a weapon... it seemed to have no offensive capability, but why did it give him such a dangerous feeling?

At the corner of the Poison Fire Musket, there was a protruding piece of metal that seemed to be movable. Yun Che tentatively pressed it...

Boom!!!

A loud explosion, a tongue of fire shot out from the muzzle of the Poison Fire Musket, and the massive recoil force sent Yun Che sprawling on the ground. The Poison Fire Musket flew out of his hand and landed far behind... Yun Che, sitting on the ground, eyes wide open, stared at the fist-sized, smoking hole that had suddenly appeared on the wall above, and swallowed hard.

This... this... Could this be some kind of hidden weapon! The power was terrifying!

Moreover, from the smell, the thing that had just been shot out clearly contained a deadly poison that could kill with a single drop of blood!

Yun Che walked over and picked up the Poison Fire Musket, then took the metal balls from the metal box. They were quite heavy, and on the surface of the ball, three large characters were faintly imprinted—

Thunderbolt!

Below the large characters, there was a line of small characters: Use spiritual energy to shatter the outer shell, then throw it.

The dangerous feeling emitted by this black metal ball far exceeded that of the Poison Fire Musket, indicating the terrifying power it contained. Yun Che did not dare to try it, putting it back in the box, and sighed... These terrifying things were likely created by the Xiao Sect's Weapon Division. If one was unfamiliar with the characteristics of these two items and was caught off guard by an opponent, they would surely die a very unjust death if their strength was not sufficient.

However, now that they were in Yun Che's Heavenly Poison Pearl, they had become his life-saving tools.

Yun Che stayed in the treasure vault for two hours, sweeping all the items into the Heavenly Poison Pearl, leaving not a single hair for the Xiao Sect. After thoroughly looting everything, Yun Che patted his hands in satisfaction and walked towards the exit. Just as he was about to step out, he stopped and muttered to himself, "Stealing everything without a sound seems a bit too much... At least I should leave something behind..."

Thinking about this, Yun Che turned around, took out a weapon, and neatly carved three lines of large characters on the wall. After inspecting them, he strode forward, closed the three stone doors, and walked out of the treasure vault.

As he expected, when he returned to the medicine hall, Xiao Tianan and Xiao Bai Cao had not yet returned. After entering the medicine room for a short while, Yun Che brought back a bowl of medicinal soup, woke up the sleeping Xiao Luocheng, and said with a smile, "Come, drink this bowl of medicinal soup."

For the sake of his injuries and "future," Xiao Luocheng was now one hundred percent obedient to this "grandfather," and without asking what the medicine was, he directly picked it up and gulped it down. After drinking, he asked with a pitiful look, "Grandfather, has my father not returned yet?"

Yun Che smiled and said, "It's about time, he should be back soon. However, when they return, you will probably be asleep. When you wake up tomorrow, your spiritual veins will be completely destroyed, and even ten Huangfu He wouldn't be able to save you, hehehehe."

Yun Che's words made Xiao Luocheng stunned, a sudden wave of unease surging in his heart. He forced a smile and said, "Grandfather, what... what are you saying? You are... just joking, right?"

"Ah, I've been joking all along, but this time, your grandfather is not joking," Yun Che laughed, a dangerous smile on his face. He reached out and lightly wiped his face, peeling off a layer of thin skin, revealing his original face, and his voice returned to its original tone: "Good grandson, take a good look at who your grandfather is."

Seeing the face suddenly change before his eyes, Xiao Luocheng was struck as if by lightning. His eyes bulged out to an extreme degree, and at that moment, he suspected he was dreaming... Even in a dream, it was impossible to have such a bizarre and absurd dream.

"Yun... Yun Che!!"

"Hmm?" Yun Che grinned, a cold smile on his face, "Xiao Luocheng, my good grandson, how did you suddenly become so disrespectful, daring to call your grandfather by his name?"

"Impossible... impossible! How could it be you... impossible!" Xiao Luocheng's body shrank back, his face contorted to the extreme... fear, shock, shame, horror, disbelief, his eyes bulging out as if he had seen the most terrifying scene in the world. After a while, he finally realized something and began to scream in panic, his voice trembling and hoarse, "Help... help... someone!"

"You can shout until your throat is sore, but it won't do any good. You know, your father, to prevent my identity from being revealed and to avoid delaying your injuries, didn't allow anyone to approach here. Tsk tsk, truly well-intentioned," Yun Che propped his chin in his hand, looking at the pale-faced, extremely frightened Xiao Luocheng, and said with a smile, "But you don't need to be so afraid. I won't kill you. After all, you've been so affectionate, calling me grandfather for several days and swearing to be filial for life... hehe, even a tiger doesn't eat its own cubs. How could I, as your grandfather, kill my good grandson? I will let you lie comfortably in bed for the rest of your life, making you remember the goodness of your grandfather forever."

The sudden change and Yun Che's words almost shattered Xiao Luocheng's mental defenses. His lips were now pale and bloodless. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, he would never have believed that this "world-renowned divine doctor" was actually Yun Che! They were on completely different levels, with no possible connection. Such a psychological impact almost collapsed his entire worldview. These days, everyone treated him like a god, serving him like the old patriarch, and he had even knelt and bowed to him, calling him grandfather for several days. Such humiliation was enough to leave a lifelong mark on his soul.

"Yun Che... we had no grudges in the past, no enmity in the present... you even severely injured me first... what more do you want to do..." Xiao Luocheng said, his voice trembling with deep fear.

"Ha ha," Yun Che laughed coldly, his expression returning to indifference, "When we first met, we indeed had no grudges or enmity, but without any enmity, you still wanted to destroy me... ha, you don't need to argue. The number of people who wanted to kill me is more than you have seen in your entire life. I know exactly what you wanted to do to me. As for the reason you wanted to cripple me, you know it best. If it were anyone else, they would have been crippled by now, but unfortunately for you, you met me."

"I don't have many great qualities, except for my outstanding appearance and extraordinary demeanor, the only other thing is that I repay kindness tenfold and revenge a hundredfold. You wanted to cripple me, so I will cripple you first. We had an agreement, and your father personally went to the New Moon Spirit Manor to take my life, so I will make your entire sect restless!"

Yun Che narrowed his eyes, his face full of cold laughter and arrogance, "When you wake up tomorrow, tell your father that this is just a small lesson. I am a born star of calamity. If you continue to provoke me, the next time I act, it won't be so 'gentle'! It's possible that your entire sect will disappear from the Heavenly Spirit Continent forever!"

"You..." Xiao Luocheng's eyes widened, staring at Yun Che. At this moment, Yun Che had undoubtedly become the most terrifying nightmare in his eyes. He only managed to utter one word before his vision went dark, and his body fell heavily backward.

Yun Che laughed coldly, straightened up, and muttered somewhat gloomily, "In my current state, I can only use this sneaky, despicable method. I wonder when I will reach the level where I can act without restraint and crush my enemies openly."

Just because of the other party's intention to harm him, he crippled them and then stole the entire sect's thousand-year accumulation, which was indeed overly cruel. But Yun Che needed to quickly enhance his strength, and he urgently needed a large amount of high-grade medicinal herbs... and the outer sect of the Xiao Sect just happened to collide with his intentions, both deserving their fate and being extremely unlucky.

Yun Che wiped his face, patted it a few times, and once again transformed into "Huangfu He." He did not immediately leave, as the Xiao Sect was too large and on a mountain, and he would surely get lost.

After another half an hour, Xiao Tianan and Xiao Bai Cao finally returned. Both of them had flushed faces and looked excited, clearly indicating that they had obtained the "Wang Xu Long Dan."
