第一百七十八章 极阴恶灵阵

Six figures rushed into the treasure room, some lunging for the crystal stones on the ground while others greedily reached out to grab the spiritual artifacts hanging from the weapon rack. Each of them appeared smug and satisfied with their loot. However, just as they were about to enjoy their spoils, a sudden change in the atmosphere occurred. A fierce wind blew through, scattering all the treasures across the room, leaving an empty expanse in its wake. The sky darkened, and countless ghostly apparitions roamed around.

"Wh-What's happening?" The six men were stunned, their faces showing signs of confusion and panic.

"Big Brother!"

"It’s a trap! We’ve been tricked! All the treasures we saw earlier were illusions," the leading elder finally realized, his face turning ashen white.

"What do we do now?"

There was no time for discussion. The array activated, and the ghostly apparitions lunged at them viciously. The six men could only summon their spiritual artifacts to fight back desperately.

Lin Xuan emerged from the shadows. He saw everything clearly but showed no signs of surprise on his face.

Treasure room?

Tianzha Demonic Sovereign was not a fool. In fact, this old monster's cunning was unparalleled in Lin Xuan’s experience.

Would he really set up such an obvious trap by piling all the treasures together and marking it as the treasure room?

From the start, Lin Xuan had no intention of entering; there was a high likelihood that everything inside was a trap.

After seeing the restraints outside the treasure room, Lin Xuan became even more certain. The setup was too simple. It was obvious to anyone with common sense, but these six fools had fallen right into it!

Lin Xuan stood silently at the entrance of the treasure room without moving or leaving.

A moment later, several惨叫声 reached his ears. The array was incredibly powerful; the Six Heroes of the Northern Desert were no weaklings—each a successful cultivator—but they could only hold out for a brief moment before their blood splattered everywhere.

After the six fell, the illusion vanished, and the room returned to its original state. Crystal stones, spiritual artifacts, magical treasures, and pills were all neatly arranged on the central rack in the room.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan's face showed a hint of surprise.

Clearly, this was a trap set by the Demonic Sovereign. There were no treasures inside for certain.

Another person might have left at this point; fools would not risk their lives without any gain.

But Lin Xuan had different thoughts. The array before him was impressive and clearly not made with inferior array talismans but with more advanced items like array disks and flags.

In other words, the array could be reused multiple times.

It was known that in the cultivation world, array masters were even rarer than alchemists, and genuine array talismans were as rare as phoenix feathers. Let alone arrays constructed using array disks and flags!

Lin Xuan had visited many markets but never bought any array tools. This set before him was naturally worth taking.

Of course, it would take some effort to claim it, but Lin Xuan felt that the trouble was worthwhile.

He called out his familiar once again.

A streak of light shot out, its brilliance spreading. Lin Xuan turned and looked at the floating pavilion in the air, then casually summoned a flying sword.

The dazzling sword light sliced through the pavilion, reducing it to rubble. The Demonic Sovereign's final secret lair was destroyed along with it.

Looking at the dust on the ground, Lin Xuan stood silently for a moment before vanishing into the distance.

This收获 was truly significant.

Apart from the Heaven Dust Pill, he also obtained treasures left behind in the Demonic Sovereign’s cave.

The True Scripture of Profound Evil and the spirit beast's egg were invaluable. Even the array set up in the fake treasure room was no small matter.

With his and his familiar's combined efforts, they managed to break it after half a month without any host.

Lin Xuan found not only the array disks and flags but also an jade cylinder containing instructions for the array.

The Extreme Yin Evil Spirit Array!

Lin Xuan had never heard of this name before, but according to the instructions in the cylinder, the array was incredibly powerful. Even condensation core stage experts would have a hard time breaking it free from its confines.

Lin Xuan was overjoyed; wasn't this array comparable to some major sects' protective mountain arrays?

After all, those sects’ protection arrays required multiple, even dozens of cultivators to activate. But with the Extreme Yin Evil Spirit Array, he could manage alone, making it much more advanced and useful.

He flew towards the Spirit Medicine Mountain in high spirits, unaware that others were feeling extremely frustrated at this distance.

On the other side of the world, on the White Cloud Mountain, Tai Bai Sword Immortal and Ouyang Qinxin returned to a cave behind the mountain after their mission. The area around the cave was brimming with spiritual energy, far more than any other place.

As condensation core stage experts, Tai Bai Sword Immortal and Ouyang Qinxin were highly respected, but here they moved cautiously, not daring to breathe a sigh of relief.

Tai Bai Sword Immortal took out a sound transmission talisman, his lips moving silently as he whispered something. He then waved his hand, sending the talisman into the cave.

Moments later, the white mist cleared, revealing a path.

The two exchanged glances and walked in.

This was the forbidden territory of the Three Giants of Youzhou's White Cloud Mountain; even the True Incarnation of the sect could not enter without urgent matters.

White Cloud Mountain's dominance over Youzhou, and its current status as the top among the three giants, was due to two senior Immortal Elders.

The Origin Dust Cave was where these two old monsters practiced in seclusion.

To ordinary cultivators, Immortal Stage experts were unattainable beings who could move mountains with a flick of their fingers. At that level, they rarely dealt with mundane matters unless it concerned the prosperity or decline of their sect.
