Chapter 225: The Earth Demon Old Ghost's Treasure Vault! Heavenly Demon Puppet!

  "I didn't expect the Soul Hall to cause such a big otion," the bck-clothed elder in the courtyard said with a heavy expression, a hint of obvious apprehension fshing in his eyes at the mention of the Soul Hall.

  "Great Elder, do you think the Soul Hall might target Jia Nan Academy ?" asked the green-clothed elder, his voice tinged with worry.

  The strength of the major powers in the Bck Horn Domain was well-know within just a few days, they had all been annihited by the Soul Hall. This situation filled the green-clothed elder with a strong sense of crisis.

  This was also what the bck-clothed elder was ed about. He shook his head and said solemnly, "Whether the Soul Hall intends to or not, we must prepare for full-scale defense and be ready to respond to any attack from them."

  The green-clothed elder nodded helplessly, sighing, "That's all we do."

  "How is the situation with the Falle Fme retly? Has there been any upheaval?" The bck-clothed elder suddenly asked, as if remembering something.

  At this, the green-clothed elder's mouth twisted bitterly: "Just a few days ago, there heaval, and several elders are struggling to suppress it."

  "Sigh, truly a time of troubles," mehe bck-clothed elder, his weary eyes showing a rare hint of fatigue.

  ...

  Following the Bck Emperor Pavilion i, most of the upper echelon of Mo Yan Valley had perished or been injured.

  Subsequently, they were relentlessly sughtered by the Soul Hall.

  Now, Mo Yan Valley was no lohe bustling pce it once was, leaving only desote ruins.

  Deep within Mo Yan Valley, a figure in white suddenly appeared – it was Gu He, who had been in seclusion for three days.

  Sihe massacre at the Bck Emperor Pavilion, Gu He had spent three days dev the souls of the strong figures from the Bck Horn Domain.

  He had also learhe locations of their hidden treasuries.

  Now, he was in Mo Yan Valley to find the treasure vault left by the Earth Demon Old Ghost.

  With the Earth Demon Old Ghost's memories in mind, Gu He moved deeper into Mo Yan Valley.

  After navigating through the lengthy valley tunnels, he came upon a wall covered with wild grass.

  Smiling slightly, Gu He struck the wall with a palm.

  "Boom!"

  With stones flying, a crack appeared in the wall.

  Gu He then charged forward, his palm ag like a battering ram, forcefully opening a teer-deep tunnel in the wall, revealing a pitch-bck cavern hidden within.

  Passing through the short tunnel, Gu He soon stood outside the cave entrahe faint light emanating from within revealed various fierce beast engravings on the surrounding walls, which appeared menag but were of errent to Gu He.

  Ihe cave was a long stoaircase leading down into the faint darkness, its end not visible. The walls were embedded with glowing moonstones, gently dispelling the darkness within.

  Gu He desded the stairs slowly. After about ten minutes, he reached the bottom, where a closed, heavy stone door stood before him.

  Chapter 225: Earth Demon Old Ghost's Treasury! Heavenly Demon Puppet!

  "The Soul Hall suddenly making such a big move was ued," the bck-clothed elder mused in the courtyard, his expression grave. Mentioning the Soul Hall, a clear sense of wariness fshed in his eyes.

  "Great Elder, do you think the Soul Hall might target Jia Nan Academy ?" the green-clothed elder asked, his voice ced with .

  The power of the major forces in the Bck Horn Domain was evident, but now, they had all been wiped out by the Soul Hall in just a few days. This turn of events filled the green-clothed elder with a strong sense of crisis.

  The bck-clothed elder shared these s. He shook his head and spoke with a certain seriousness, "Whether the Soul Hall intends to or not, we must prepare for full-scale defense and be ready to respond to any attack from them."

  The green-clothed elder nodded in agreement, albeit helplessly, and sighed, "That's all we do, I suppose."

  "How has the situation with the Falle Fme beely? Any u?" the bck-clothed elder suddenly asked, as if something occurred to him.

  The green-clothed elder's mouth twisted into a bitter smile, "There heaval just a few days ago, and several elders are struggling to suppress it."

  "Sigh, it's indeed a troublesome time," the bck-clothed elder ented, his tired eyes revealing a rare hint of fatigue.

  ...

  After the Bck Emperor Pavilion i, Mo Yan Valley's leadership was almost pletely decimated.

  Then, seizing the opportunity, the Soul Hall unched a relentless massacre.

  Now, Mo Yan Valley was no los former bustling self, reduced to desote ruins.

  Deep within Mo Yan Valley, a figure in white suddenly appeared – it was Gu He, who had been in seclusion for three days.

  Sihe massacre at the Bck Emperor Pavilion, Gu He had spent three days dev the souls of the powerful figures from the Bck Horn Domain.

  He had also learhe locations of their hidden treasuries.

  Now, he was in Mo Yan Valley to find the treasure vault left by the Earth Demon Old Ghost.

  With the Earth Demon Old Ghost's memories in mind, Gu He moved deeper into Mo Yan Valley.

  Navigating through the long valley tunnels, he came upon a wall covered with wild grass.

  Smiling slightly, Gu He struck the wall with a palm.

  "Boom!"

  With stones flying, a crack appeared in the wall.

  Gu He then charged forward, his palm ag like a battering ram, forcefully opening a teer-deep tunnel in the wall, revealing a pitch-bck cavern hidden within.

  Passing through the short tunnel, Gu He soon stood outside the cave entrahe faint light emanating from within revealed various fierce beast engravings on the surrounding walls, which appeared menag but were of errent to Gu He.

  Ihe cave was a long stoaircase leading down into the faint darkness, its end not visible. The walls were embedded with glowing moonstones, gently dispelling the darkness within.

  Gu He desded the stairs slowly. After about ten minutes, he reached the bottom, where a closed, heavy stone door stood before him.

  The door was entirely bck, covered in moss, and exuded a sense of heaviness.

  Seeing this, Gu He smiled and pced his palm slowly on the door. Then, with a sharp glint in his eyes, a powerful Dou Qi surged from his arm, striking the door with a resounding crash.

  "Boom!"

  With stones flying, the door cracked all over, then colpsed, emitting a blinding light.

  As the intense light burst forth, Gu He instinctively squinted.

  Suddenly, a fierce wind shot out from behind the door, directly targeting Gu He.

  "Hmph!"

  Gu He, anticipating this sudden ge, was not armed. With a cold snort, he casually struck a palm forward. The sharp sound of breaking wind echoed in the cave.

  "Bang!"

  With a single palm strike, the wind surged like a tidal wave, hitting the ining object. A pierg scream followed, and the rge dark shadow was sent flying back, crashing heavily to the ground.

  After repelling the attacker, Gu He moved again, sweeping away the dust in front of him, revealing the space behind the stone door.

  peared befu He acious storeroom, filled with blinding light. The room's walls were made of sturdy mo steel stone, carved out of a mo steel stone mine.

  The room tained many shelves with ly arranged scrolls. On another side, there were numerous crystal ets housing various preedial ingredients.

  Gu He's gaze swept across the storeroom, pausing on the rge serpent-like beast on the ground – the creature that had attempted the sneak attack.

  "A sixth-grade beast dares to ambush me, truly seekih," Gu He said with a faint smile as he stepped into the storeroom.

  This serpe was left by the Earth Demon Old Ghost to guard the treasury. Even a regur Dou Emperor powerhouse, if unprepared, might be severely injured by this beast.

  Gu He smiled lightly, his gaze lingering on the beast. "You're lucky."

  With those words, he khe serpe unscious with a palm strike and then stored it in his system space. It was, after all, a sixth-grade serpe and would make a nice gift for the young girl Qinglin ba the Nine-Color Valley.

  Feeling a bit guilty for leaving the young girl alone, Gu He decided t bae treasures for her as pensation.

  Turning his attention back to the storeroom, Gu He admired the colle, noting, "As expected of an old aablished force, these colles are indeed impressive."

  The items ireasury were meticulously categorized.

  Approag a bookshelf beled "Earth Grade Low-Level," Gu He sed briefly before heading deeper into the storeroom.

  After plundering the Bck Horn Domain powerhouses, ordinary Xuan-level martial teiques and skills no longer ied him. He was here for the high-grade skills a teiques collected by the Earth Demon Old Ghost.

  Unbeknownst to him, Gu He reached the end of the storeroom, where, uher shelves, there were only three simple wooden boxes.

  Around these shelves, uhers, was a thin but strong energy barrier, surprising even Gu He with the dense energy it emitted. The best treasures always had their unique aspects...

  Thinking this, Gu He didn't rush to break the barrier but examihe surroundings. His gaze stopped on two simple characters above the shelf.

  "Earth Grade!"

  Seeing these characters, a smile formed on Gu He's face.

  This trip was not in vaih-grade teiques and bat skills were extremely rare.

  After all, anything that the Earth Demon Old Ghost cherished enough to pce here was no ordinary item.

  The thin light barrier enveloped the shelf, seemingly fragile but taining strong energy, likely unbreakable even by a regur Dou Emperor.

  Of course, fu He, this barrier was almost ent.

  As his Dou Qi surged, he struck the barrier without hesitation.

  Crack!

  With a crisp sound, the energy barrier in front of Gu He shattered intments, dissipating into the void.

  With the barrier gone, Gu He turned his attention to the three wooden boxes inside.

  Pig up one of the boxes, Gu He ope to find two silver scrolls ihe scrolls were made of an unusual crystallierial, shimmering with electric light that snaked around their surface like silver serpents.

  Seeing these extraordinary scrolls, a smile flickered in Gu He's eyes. He took o and slowly unrolled it.

  "Thunderbolt Mirror, mid-grade Earth level, Thutribute teique."

  Reading the description on the scroll, Gu He's eyes widened in surprise. Thutribute teiques were rare, especially high-grade ones like this.

  The Earth Demon Old Ghost, as one of the top powers in the Bck Horn Domain, had indeed collected some impressive teiques.

  Gu He smiled, taking out the other silver scroll and quickly browsing through it, "Jue Zhe Thueique, mid-grade Earth level martial skill, a set with 'Thunderbolt Mirror.' If I ever meet a Thutribute genius, I could pass this on as a legacy."

  , Gu He turned his attention to an ordinary-looking bamboo slip.

  The slip was a dull brown and appeared quite ordinary, but Gu He khat whatever the Earth Demon Old Ghost had kept here was no trivial matter.

  He gently uhe string on the bamboo slip and unrolled it. There, in bold, blood-red characters, was the name of a teique.

  "Heavenly Demon Puppet!"

  Looking at the blood-red characters, a broad smile spread across Gu He's face. Eagerly, he tio unroll the bamboo slip, revealing the densely written instrus, emanating a bloodthirsty aura.

  "Heavenly Demon Puppet is not a teique or a regur bat skill, but an a puppetry art. To create a Heavenly Demon Puppet, one hree things: a body, a soul, and a demon core. Use the body as the vessel, the soul as the guide, and the demon core as the heart. bined with various materials and refined with fire, one create a powerful puppet devoid of joy, sorrow, pain, or injury, an ultimate on of sughter."

  Gu He's eyes ily sed the blood-red text, his excitement growing.

  "What a Heavenly Demon Puppet!"

  As his gaze moved away from the st character, Gu He exhaled deeply, intrigued by this so-called "Heavenly Demon Puppet." If he could refine such a puppet, he could have a loyal guardian at his side.

  Of course, Gu He didn't ck fuards.

  With the Bck Scaled Frigid Python, ah-grade magical beast, he already had the best prote.

  What intrigued Gu He was the idea of creating a Dou Aor-level guardian for his disciples and what kind of guardian he might receive iurn after the system's tenfold pensation.

  Or perhaps, he could directly pass on this "Heavenly Demon Puppet" teique to his disciples and see what kind of incredible secret teique he would receive iurn.

  Thinking of this, Gu He felt a surge of anticipation.

  After looting the Earth Demon Old Ghost's treasury, Gu He left Mo Yan Valley in a fsh.

  ", it's time for the Bck Emperor Sect's treasury!"
