Chapter 25

Wang Tengfei's eyes revealed intense excitement. If an outsider were to see this scene, they would surely be stunned, for such an expression had never been so clearly visible on Wang Tengfei's face in anyone's memory.

To others, Wang Tengfei was the darling of heaven and earth, with a gentle gaze, a warm smile, and a handsome face—everything was perfect.

But at this moment, Wang Tengfei could not help but be excited. Thinking about the years of preparation and the resources he had expended, he was finally about to obtain the treasure he had longed for, which he had already designated as the supreme treasure that would accompany him for life. His heart could not help but race wildly.

This was even one of the two biggest reasons he had chosen to join the Mountain Support Sect, a treasure he was determined to secure.

At this moment, he moved extremely fast, stepping into the cave entrance in an instant. As he delved deeper and saw the enormous and astonishing corpse of the beast inside the fissure, Wang Tengfei burst into laughter, his eyes shining brightly. He immediately rushed to the tail of the beast, the area where the python had undergone its transformation. As he approached, he began to search, but gradually his face showed confusion, his eyes widening. After a short while, he had almost searched the entire beast, and he was completely stunned.

"How could it be gone..."

"This is impossible. The supreme treasure can only be obtained after the python has completed its shedding. Moreover, this place can only be safely entered now. How could it be gone? This is impossible!" Wang Tengfei's eyes glowed with an overwhelming light, and his mind buzzed as he searched again. When he saw the spot where the python's skin, which should have been pierced by a flying sword, had been clearly removed, Wang Tengfei's body trembled, and his eyes revealed a fury and disbelief he had never felt before, emitting a roar that shook the entire Black Mountain.

He also saw the gap in the beast's head, where the demon core had been forcibly removed. As for the skeleton, he was in such a foul mood that he did not even glance at it.

In his fury, his body carried an indescribable madness, and he rose with a whoosh, heading straight for the outside world. He even extended the blood drop on his arm to search for a trace, but for some reason, the blood drop could not sense anything, as if it had been erased!

His search of the entire Black Mountain yielded nothing.

Finally, he returned to the fissure, staring at the beast's corpse, and his piercing roar echoed again.

"I spent three years searching for ancient texts, three whole years. I neglected my cultivation, and to obtain those texts, I paid over a hundred thousand spirit stones. Only then did I finally find the clue of the ancient Yinglong from two hundred years ago!" Wang Tengfei's body trembled, his face twisted, and the perfect facade he had maintained was now completely shattered. He seemed to have gone mad.

"I spent another year searching the entire Zhao Kingdom, the mountains and forests. Where haven't I been? I searched every area, relying on the trace of the blood drop, and finally found this place!" Wang Tengfei's eyes were bloodshot, and he clenched his fists tightly, his hair disheveled. If an outsider were to see him now, they would be shocked.

"To obtain this treasure, I humbled myself and chose the Mountain Support Sect as my spiritual enlightenment place. Damn it, damn it, I endured for almost three years here!" Wang Tengfei's heart was bleeding, as if an invisible sword had torn open his chest and pierced his heart, destroying his pride and making him unable to believe that he had failed.

"To set up the array, I used the few remaining spirit stones and treasures I had, setting up the array that trapped this dragon!"

"I even used the family's power, which I should not have easily used in my youth, to erase all traces of the ancient Yinglong, making it impossible for anyone to know. I refused the help of my family members and did not even tell them the location, because I considered the supreme treasure and the inheritance as a personal trial for me, Wang Tengfei!"

"Who, who took my supreme treasure!" Wang Tengfei's body trembled violently, his mind buzzed, and his blood and qi surged. After spending so much, everything had become a gift for someone else. A mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth, staining his white robe, a sight that was shocking.

It was like offering a sky-high dowry in the mortal world, setting up a luxurious mansion, and finally taking a beautiful woman, setting up a grand wedding feast, inviting countless relatives and friends, and in everyone's admiration, in his own satisfaction and anticipation, finally entering the bridal chamber, seeing the beautiful face under the red veil, just about to pounce, when he suddenly found...

He had become an outsider, and everything had been taken by someone he didn't even know!

"Who took my ancient cultivation sword!" Wang Tengfei let out a piercing roar, spitting out another mouthful of blood, staggering back a few steps, his face pale, his eyes filled with a mad and unwilling look. He was very, very unwilling, because he had never failed before, because he was proud. The more so, the more his inner thoughts were filled with intense humiliation and overwhelming anger.

"Who stole the treasure that would make me famous in the cultivation world!" Thinking of the sacrifices he had made, he immediately spat out more blood, his clothes now stained red, his body retreating further.

"Not only did you take my treasure, but you also took the demon core. Without this core, I paid everything for the treasure and cannot break through to the seventh level in a short time. Who are you!!"

"Who, who took the destiny that belonged to me? That was my treasure, that was my demon core, that was my inheritance!!" Wang Tengfei's face was twisted, and in his madness, he was unwilling, immediately intensifying his search. With so many desolate mountains, how could he find it?

Only the piercing roars echoed, reaching the ears of Meng Hao, who was running for his life, making his eyes even more excited and his pace faster.

"I've struck it rich, really rich this time." Meng Hao's heart pounded, and his mouth was dry. His speed was almost beyond his usual limits, and in no time, he returned to the South Peak cave.

He vaguely guessed that the treasure he had taken was extremely important to Wang Tengfei. Even if it was stolen, he could not publicize it. He had also considered hiding, but if he did, he would be more suspicious. So, he decided to act openly, making it more ambiguous and giving him a reason to be bold.

At this moment, Meng Hao licked his lips, his eyes gleaming. Although the cave's jade slip was with the fat boy, Meng Hao still had another jade slip from Senior Xu, which he had tested and could open the cave. Otherwise, Senior Xu could not have opened the cave door while Meng Hao was counting the spirit stones.

After returning to the cave, he did not see the fat boy, but he thought the fat boy, who seemed simple but was actually quite clever, would not be at a disadvantage, so he did not bother with him. Meng Hao sat cross-legged in the cave, took a deep breath, and took out the golden storage bag, liking it more and more. He quickly opened the storage bag and muttered to himself.

"What a large storage bag, it can hold... hmm?" Meng Hao's words were cut off as his body stiffened. After a moment, he drew a sharp breath, his eyes fixed on the storage bag, his mind blank, only the buzzing sound echoing.

"Damn, damn, this is really striking it rich!!" Meng Hao's hands trembled, and he clutched the storage bag tightly. After a moment, he regained his composure and carefully took out a spirit stone.

This spirit stone was different from the ones he owned. It was the size of a finger, but the spiritual energy was not very concentrated, especially the misty appearance inside. However, the quantity... in the storage bag, there were actually two thousand and a few spirit stones!

This was a vast wealth that Meng Hao had never seen in his life, making him stop breathing several times, his body trembling, his eyes fixed. As for the storage bag, besides these spirit stones, there were only some clothes and other miscellaneous items.

Sweat broke out on Meng Hao's forehead, though it was not hot, he felt a burning sensation in his body. After a while, he burst into laughter, his voice filled with joy.

"These spirit stones are a bit strange. They are large, but the spiritual energy is average, but with such a quantity, ha ha..." After suppressing himself for a while, Meng Hao finally looked away and took out another item he had obtained today, the shriveled demon core. Looking at the demon core, Meng Hao's eyes shone even brighter, and he licked his lips, taking a deep breath.

"That huge beast may have been dead for many years, but its tail could transform into a python, indicating that it must have been extremely powerful in life. Its demon core..." Meng Hao's breathing quickened, and he looked at the hard, shriveled demon core in his hand, immediately taking out the bronze mirror to replicate it.

However, almost as soon as he took out the bronze mirror, before he could place the demon core on it, the mirror suddenly became scorching hot, almost burning his hand. At the same time, an invisible shockwave suddenly burst out from the mirror, heading straight for the demon core in his left hand.

With a bang, the demon core was hit and flew out of Meng Hao's hand. In mid-air, the bronze mirror emitted another invisible shockwave, continuously striking the demon core, as if the demon core had become a furry beast that excited the mirror to the extreme, making the mirror emit shockwaves like a madman.

Meng Hao was stunned and, in pain, immediately clutched the bronze mirror tightly, finally managing to put it back into the storage bag. The demon core then fell to the ground with a bang, and much of its shriveled hard skin cracked.

"Damn, this is a demon core, not a furry beast. Why is the bronze mirror so excited?" Meng Hao quickly picked up the demon core, feeling extremely pained.

Fortunately, the demon core was already shriveled, with a hard outer layer. After being hit several times by the bronze mirror, the hard layer fell off, revealing a small, grain-sized ball of light inside, emitting a strong spiritual energy. This spiritual energy instantly filled the entire cave, making Meng Hao's eyes shine. Considering the bronze mirror's excitement, Meng Hao did not dare to replicate it, hesitated for a moment, and then carefully put it away.

He then took a deep breath and took out the third treasure he had obtained, the ancient small sword. Meng Hao handled it with a satisfied smile on his face.

"This sword is extremely sharp, capable of tearing through the python's skin and even splitting the head of the great beast, showing that this sword is extraordinary." Meng Hao looked at the small sword in his hand with joy. The sword was not made of metal but of wood, with several faint golden lines on it, as if they could capture one's attention. Despite its ancient appearance, thinking about the sharpness of a wooden flying sword, Meng Hao became even more excited.
