This Cheng Yaojin is extremely formidable. His swift defeat of the Heavenly Gang Sect experts clearly indicates his formidable strength.
He found it hard to imagine how such a powerful individual could emerge from a single commandery.
Hum!
Huala la!
The treasure vault of the underground palace began to collapse, precarious and crumbling.
"General Cheng, let's go!"
Since they had obtained the Sheng Yuan Dan on this trip, there was no longer any point in staying. Jian Er said to Cheng Yaojin.
The two then quickly retreated to a distance.

At Wuhui Ridge, the crowd waiting outside the tomb was idly waiting!
Suddenly, the treasure cauldron made a deep rumbling sound, and dense cracks began to appear on its surface. The spiritual energy of the entire valley began to pour in frantically.
"This tomb is about to collapse. They should be coming out soon."
People in the crowd began to discuss as they watched the treasure cauldron.
"Who do you think will get the Sheng Yuan Dan?"
"Isn't that obvious? It will go to the court and the Heavenly Gang Sect."
"I think Yizhou might get a share this time!"
,,,,,
"Mr. Wan, do you think General Cheng and the others will succeed?"
A hoarse voice interrupted Wan Mitzai's cultivation.
"My lord, rest assured. With the two of them working together in this tomb, there will be no danger whatsoever. The Prefect's wish will not be in vain."
Wan Mitzai opened his eyes, a crimson insect egg tightly wrapped around his middle finger as he slowly circulated his energy.
He had just found this in the jungle. The insect egg was in a dormant state, and Wan Mitzai felt a rich poisonous gas contained within. With a little research, there might be an unexpected gain!
"Look, someone is coming out!"
Just as the two were talking, someone suddenly exclaimed.
The crowd quickly looked on and saw people emerging from the azure vortex in twos and threes, their bodies tattered and stained with blood.
"Here, here!"
Someone immediately called out, their faces filled with joy at seeing their own people successfully emerge from the tomb. Being able to bring out one or two bottles of elixirs from the tomb would surely significantly boost their own strength.
"Wait!"
A man in red from the Sword Sect approached.
"What's the situation inside now? What about the others!"
The man in red asked coldly.
"This humble one does not know. We did not reach the underground palace. It was extremely dangerous inside, and we only stopped at the outer perimeter!"
The people emerging from the tomb replied in a hurry.
The crowd listened but did not get the answers they wanted, their faces filled with disappointment.
Not long after, most of the people emerging from the tomb happily reunited with their families.
Some were happy, while others...
The fate of most of those who entered the tomb had already been decided.
Hum!
Suddenly, the azure vortex emitted a scorching light, and over a hundred people rushed out of it.
Most of these people were holding elixir bottles in their hands, their faces filled with panic. They ran frantically, scattering elixir pills of various sizes under their feet.
The people outside looked confused, wondering what had happened inside!
"What is happening inside? Such panic, what kind of behavior is this!"
Someone roared.
"They're fighting inside! They're fighting inside!"
"The court has joined forces with people from Yizhou and Youzhou to fight against the Heavenly Gang Sect and the Sword Sect!"
"Who!"
The Heavenly Gang Sect and the Sword Sect immediately shouted!
"I say, Su Hu, why are you so nervous? We still need to wait patiently to find out what's going on inside!"
Ji Yan sneered. This time, they would make these sects pay dearly, if not shed a layer of their skin.
Shua!
Bai Fei rushed out quickly, scanned his surroundings, and then fled in a hurry!
"He has the Sheng Yuan Dan!"
Someone suddenly shouted.
Su Hu and Leng Ruo exchanged glances and decisively attacked.
"Do you take me for a nobody?"
Ji Yan drew his treasured sword.
"Brother Leng, stop him!"
Su Hu said to Leng Ruo.
Leng Ruo stopped and pointed his finger down. Instantly, a treasured sword appeared in mid-air, completely black, interspersed with fresh blood.
What an evil sword technique!
The Great Elder of the Sword Sect's movements were strange, and his first strike was vicious.
The black treasured sword carried the aura of death, like a hellish realm where all vegetation withered and died within a radius of ten feet.
Leng Ruo formed a sword with his finger and instantly slashed towards Ji Yan.
With a loud explosion, Ji Yan's treasured sword shattered. He was sent flying over ten steps back, layers of black energy entwined around his arm, oozing blood with a sizzling sound.
"Hmph! Old man Leng, you've become even more skilled in your swordsmanship after a few days!"
Ji Yan circulated his spiritual energy to dissipate the black sword qi.
"Lord Ji, I concede."
Leng Ruo stood in front of Ji Yan, sword qi flowing from his fingertips.
Just as everyone was captivated by this sudden battle between half-step Grandmasters.
Suddenly.
"Ah!"
A tragic scream echoed.
The crowd looked towards the sound and saw that Bai Fei's chest had caved in, his limbs severed, and blood flowing profusely, shocking everyone into trembling.
Screech!
With a flick of the sword, Bai Fei's head fell to the ground.
"Even these insignificant brats dare to reach for the Sheng Yuan Dan? They have the life to take it, but not the life to enjoy it!"
Su Hu held a golden wooden box, stared at Ji Yan, and sneered.
"Don't you think so, Lord Ji?"
"Hahaha!"
"You!"
Ji Yan's face changed drastically upon hearing this, and he glared at Su Hu fiercely.
"What is it, Lord Ji? Do you want to taste my old man's sword qi again!"
Leng Ruo spread his palms, five sharp treasured swords swirling in his hands.
"My lord, now is not the time to fall out with them!"
A soldier approached Ji Yan and whispered in his ear.
Kaka ka!
Suddenly, the treasure cauldron was completely shattered, on the verge of collapsing at any moment.
Hum!
After an unknown amount of time, after Cheng Yaojin and the last group of people rushed out, the treasure cauldron exploded and dissipated.
Su Hu and Leng Ruo stared at the completely dissipated treasure cauldron and then turned to look at Cheng Yaojin and his group.
"Where are my sect's disciples?"
"Hmph hmph hmph! We have found an excellent resting place for them. It would be a pity to abandon such a prime location with excellent feng shui!"
A master of the ninth level of Xiantian from the court presented his elixirs to Ji Yan. Upon hearing the question, he burst into mocking laughter.
"Presumptuous!"
The man in red drew his sword and attacked him, and a battle immediately erupted.
Su Hu and Leng Ruo unleashed their killing moves on the spot, attacking Ji Yan.
"Lord Jian, help me!"
Ji Yan immediately shouted towards Jian Ying.
Jian Ying, holding the Sheng Yuan Dan, put it in his embrace. After considering for a long time, he heard Ji Yan's cry for help: "This tomb expedition, thank you very much, Mr. Wan and General Cheng for your dedicated assistance!"
"My lord, you are too kind. We are merely acting under our lord's command!"
Wan Mitzai replied.
Jian Ying took out a great seal from his embrace and handed it to Wan Mitzai: "After this matter is concluded, this is the great seal of Hanzhong Commandery."
Wan Mitzai took the great seal: "In that case, we shall take our leave!"
"No one is allowed to leave!"
Suddenly, a roar erupted.
A burly figure descended from the sky, unleashing a palm strike that killed a large area.
"That is Liu Ji, the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Gang Sect, a half-step Grandmaster expert, long-established and with a deep foundation!"
Liu Ji arrived in the sky, scanned the crowd, and his gaze settled on Wan Mitzai.
"You can leave, but the formula for the Sheng Yuan Dan must be left behind!"
"What? He has the Sheng Yuan Dan formula?"
The crowd listened. This was no small matter. If this were true, and if they could find a skilled alchemist, once the Sheng Yuan Dan was refined, it would be extraordinary!
"You're confusing me, what formula!"
