Tonight, Shang Xiufang was perfect—her posture graceful, her beauty stunning, and her dancing skills breathtaking.
She was the brightest star in Wanhuafang tonight.
Lù Xiǎofèng stroked his signature handlebar mustache and nodded repeatedly, "Wonderful, these are the most outstanding dance moves I have ever seen."
Xiè Xiǎofēng raised his cup to drink and sighed with emotion, "Truly astonishing, unprecedented. Shang Xiufang can be called a Grandmaster of dance."
"It's just so-so. I think my Róngróng dances better."
Chǔ Liúxiāng interjected indifferently, with a hint of disdain in his tone.
He was no longer very interested in beautiful women and preferred a good drink to watching them.
Sū Róngróng, Lǐ Hóngxiù, and Sòng Tián'ér couldn't help but frown at Chǔ Liúxiāng's words.
They hadn't expected him to say that.
None of them had ever danced for him, nor were they skilled dancers.
Chǔ Liúxiāng was now speaking carelessly just to save face, not even valuing Shang Xiufang's dance, seemingly intending to show off to Lù Xiǎofèng and Xiè Xiǎofēng.
Sū Róngróng was particularly displeased.
She had never danced and didn't know how to.
Chǔ Liúxiāng was clearly lying to save face this time.
"What do you know? You just know how to drink," Xiè Xiǎofēng retorted with a cold laugh.
Chǔ Liúxiāng's expression darkened, and he said coldly, "Hmph, Xiè Xiǎofēng, remember what you said today. If Divine Sword Manor is destroyed one day, it will be your fault."
Xiè Xiǎofēng was unconcerned and mocked, "Chǔ Liúxiāng, don't be arrogant just because you have a master in the Heavenly Human Realm.
There's always someone better. Sooner or later, your arrogance will lead to your unexplainable death."
Lù Xiǎofèng ignored the two of them. His gaze was on Shang Xiufang on stage, but his thoughts had drifted far away.
The reappearance of Duke Yang's Treasury in the martial arts world would likely bring various forces out into the open. The future martial arts world was destined for constant turmoil.
Wǎn Wǎn watched Shang Xiufang's dancing figure and murmured softly, "Shang Xiufang's figure is indeed alluring. But I am still young, and I will have her grace in the future."
In Cihang Jingzhai, Shī Fēixuān also gazed intently at Shang Xiufang on stage. Thinking of the time Sū Zǐ'ān snuck a look at her, her cheeks flushed slightly.
Shang Xiufang's movements were graceful, but her looks might not surpass her own.
If that scoundrel Sū Zǐ'ān were here, who would he look at? Her, or this Shang Xiufang with her captivating dance?
In Wanhuafang, Wáng Yǔyān, Dúgū Fèng, Sū Róngróng, Lǐ Hóngxiù, Sòng Tián'ér, and even Huáng Róng in disguise as a man, all secretly compared their own beauty to Shang Xiufang's.
Meanwhile, deep within Duke Yang's Treasury, Zhù Yùyán was rapidly recovering her internal energy, her eyes filled with rage.
She wanted to kill that scoundrel!
Whenever she thought of being seen all over by that ugly fellow, and possibly even touched by him, Zhù Yùyán wished she could cut Sū Zǐ'ān into a thousand pieces.
There was only one exit, so she waited here, believing that scoundrel would take the bait.
At this moment, Sū Zǐ'ān was happily plundering the treasures in the cave. This was the fourth cave dwelling he had cleared.
"I'm rich, I'm really rich!"
He stuffed boxes full of gold and silver into his system space, muttering excitedly.
"Haha... I've really made a fortune this time!"
He roughly estimated that the gold here was probably over three million taels, silver over a million taels, and the other treasures and calligraphy paintings were immeasurable.
Eh?
This is the last cave dwelling. It's said that the Evil Emperor's Sarira is hidden here.
Sū Zǐ'ān strode into the last cave. There were more than a dozen boxes inside. He didn't pay them much attention and walked directly towards the exquisite jade box on the central stone platform.
Sū Zǐ'ān carefully took the jade box, gently opened the lid, and wanted to see what was inside.
As soon as the jade box was opened, a green sphere emitting a faint green light lay inside. Needless to say, this must be the legendary Evil Emperor's Sarira.
Boom—The sarira suddenly erupted with dazzling light, and streaks of green light shot out from the box, scattering in all directions.
Sū Zǐ'ān's heart trembled, and his face instantly turned pale, "Damn it, this is too scary?"
He quickly closed the jade box. In that split second, he almost lost control of his body, and violent, sinister thoughts flooded his mind.
This Evil Emperor's Sarira is indeed extraordinary. If it weren't for He Shi Bi on him, he wouldn't have dared to touch this thing, let alone open it.
"I'll take it back first. When I find He Shi Bi later, I'll study how to absorb the sarira's power at my leisure."
Sū Zǐ'ān put away the jade box containing the sarira and casually took the more than a dozen boxes beside it as well.
Just as he was about to leave, a cunning smile appeared on his face, "Hehe, I have to leave some 'souvenirs' here. When those martial artists come, I'll let them have some fun too."
With that, he took out an empty jade box, wrote a few sentences and placed them inside, then put the jade box on the stone platform.
After doing all this, he quickly returned. He had already wasted a lot of time in Duke Yang's Treasury. If he hurried, he might even be able to go back to Wanhuafang to see Shang Xiufang dance.
Boom!
Damn it!
Why is this woman still here?
She's really determined. Zhù Yùyán is indeed a vengeful character.
While dodging her attacks, Sū Zǐ'ān cursed inwardly.
She actually recovered her strength here and seemed unwilling to stop until she killed him.
Just as he dodged Zhù Yùyán's sneak attack, he thought about escaping quickly. Zhù Yùyán couldn't be killed now, not just for the sake of that little girl Wǎn Wǎn, but more importantly, he couldn't kill her either. Unless he used some special means, he would probably be beaten to a pulp by her.
"Trying to run? Can you escape? Heavenly Demon Great Law!"
Booming—Seeing this, Sū Zǐ'ān panicked. Zhù Yùyán was willing to destroy the entire underground passage to stop him.
His expression darkened, and he quickly shouted at her, "Hey, hey, hey, Zhù Yùyán, stop! If you want to die, don't drag me along! If this continues, the whole passage will collapse!"
"Ugly monster, hand over the Evil Emperor's Sarira, or we'll be buried here together!"
…
Zhù Yùyán was stunned. She never expected that this annoying fellow had actually obtained the Evil Emperor's Sarira.
That was a supreme treasure of the Demonic Sect, and she absolutely would not allow it to fall into this scoundrel's hands.
"Cough, cough, Zhù Yùyán, this sarira is a bit strange. Without He Shi Bi to suppress it, you shouldn't look at it."
"You're lying!"
I'm really speechless. Why does this crazy woman always try to go down together?
In the story, she wanted to die with Shí Zhīxuān, and now she's trying to blow up the passage to take him with her.
This woman is beyond saving.
Booming… "Wait! Crazy woman, I said wait! I'll let you see, okay!"
Sū Zǐ'ān yelled at her with a blackened face. She had gone mad and started attacking fiercely while he was still considering how to escape.
"Hand it over!"
Zhù Yùyán stared at him coldly. She knew her strength had not recovered, but she was willing to risk her life to get rid of this scoundrel who had ruined her purity.
Sū Zǐ'ān reluctantly took out the jade box and reminded her, "Listen carefully, I looked just now. When you open it, green light beams will shoot out, your body will lose control, and violent thoughts will flood your mind."
"Stop talking nonsense, hand it over!"
Zhù Yùyán didn't listen at all. If there really was a sarira in the jade box, this guy had to die; if not, she would still make him die a terrible death.
Upon hearing her words, Sū Zǐ'ān pouted. This crazy woman wouldn't listen to advice; she would regret it later.
After Sū Zǐ'ān handed the jade box to Zhù Yùyán, he immediately retreated a few steps, his expression looking somewhat cautious.
Seeing his action, Zhù Yùyán couldn't help but let out a cold snort, a hint of sarcasm on her lips, "Heh, what a coward!"
Sū Zǐ'ān looked helpless. It wasn't that he was afraid of her, Zhù Yùyán; it was the Evil Emperor's Sarira in the jade box that made him wary.
This crazy woman, you'll be crying later.
"Boom—"
Zhù Yùyán opened the jade box without hesitation. In an instant, the sphere inside emitted dazzling green light again.
Almost simultaneously, her body suddenly went limp, and she fell to the ground, her clothes instantly soaked with cold sweat, her eyes becoming dull and lifeless, as if her soul had been momentarily
ripped away.
"Whoosh!"
Sū Zǐ'ān immediately flashed to her side and quickly closed the jade box.
"Huff… huff…"
Zhù Yùyán gasped for breath, her face pale, a hint of fear in her eyes.
She stared at Sū Zǐ'ān. The feeling of being controlled and having her consciousness swallowed made her almost believe she was being possessed.
Sū Zǐ'ān put away the jade box and casually pressed a few acupuncture points on her.
He didn't trust this crazy woman. If she recovered and tried to kill him again, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?
"Zhù Yùyán, Sect Leader Zhù, how are you feeling now?" he said, lightly and provocatively running his hand over her stunningly beautiful face.
With her acupuncture points pressed, Zhù Yùyán's internal alarm bells rang, and she quickly shouted sternly, "Let me go! What do you want?"
Sū Zǐ'ān smiled meaningfully and said, "What do you think? Sect Leader Zhù, we're alone here, with no one else around. What do you think I'll do?"
"Shameless!"
Zhù Yùyán gritted her teeth, her eyes burning with rage.
"Haha…"
Sū Zǐ'ān laughed triumphantly.
He hugged Zhù Yùyán and walked towards the passage exit. Although he was teasing her with words, he had no ill intentions in his heart.
This passage was dark and damp, and the ground was dirty and cold. Even if he had any other ideas, he wouldn't choose this place.
"Shameless and lecherous scoundrel! If I don't die today, I will definitely cut you into a thousand pieces!" Zhù Yùyán vowed through gritted teeth.
Sū Zǐ'ān, carrying her, responded with a playful smile, "That depends on whether you have the ability."
Zhù Yùyán frowned slightly upon hearing this.
This ugly fellow's appearance was so conspicuous. Had he changed his face? Was he wearing a Human Skin Mask?
"Hmm? You're disguised? Are you wearing a Human Skin Mask?"
Damn! Why are all these women so perceptive? Sū Zǐ'ān thought to himself, speechless.
First Shí Qīngxuán, and now Zhù Yùyán. How could these peerlessly beautiful women see through his mask at a glance?
He looked down at her and couldn't help but sigh. Indeed, the beauties in the Zongwu World were not to be trifled with.
