Chapter 696 Nine Dragon Lock, the Source of Evil Spirit
Zhou Feng took Xie Huan and Jin Hai through the intricate corridors and introduced the classification of the treasure house.

Soon, they entered and exited several treasure houses. With the help of the Eye of Insight, Xie Huan successfully unlocked the restrictions of all the treasure houses, which surprised Jin Hai so much that he couldn't help but look up to Xie Huan.

But he only overestimated Xie Huan a little bit. The huge gap in their realms made it impossible for him to truly look Xie Huan in the face.

"Is this the Nine-Lock Dragon Box?!"

In a treasure house, after breaking a hidden restriction, a black iron box was found, tied with nine dragon-patterned chains, and there were restrictions on each chain.

Jin Hai immediately knew that this treasure chest was extraordinary, and his breathing stopped.

"I've heard of the Chamber of Commerce having the Nine-Lock Dragon Box, but this is the first time I've seen it."

Zhou Feng took a deep breath and his Adam's apple rolled.

Xie Huan activated his Eye of Insight and stared into the past.

In an instant, the nine dragons on the box seemed to come alive, swimming and tumbling on the surface of the black iron box, making low dragon roars at him.

Suddenly, an extremely strong force hit Xie Huan's eyes, and the nine dragon-patterned chains intertwined into an airtight net, completely isolating all the breath in the box, and all the peeping eyes were distorted and swallowed up.

"what?"

Xie Huan dispersed the Eye of Insight in surprise, and all the nine dragon visions in front of him disappeared instantly.

"What? Are you deflated?"

There was a flash of fire in Jinhai's pupils, as if he saw that Xie Huan had failed.

Everything Xie Huan saw, including the backlash, only appeared in his spiritual world.

For Jin Hai and Zhou Feng, nothing happened. The black iron box had been lying there quietly without any movement.

"Just take this box."

Xie Huan pondered for a moment and asked Zhou Feng to get it.

If he forced the Eye of Insight to open to its full potential, he would surely be able to suppress the counterattack and seal of the Nine Dragon Lock, and eventually get a glimpse of the true appearance inside.

But firstly, he didn't know whether there were stronger restrictions inside, which might cause big trouble. Secondly, Jin Hai was standing there restlessly. If he was attacked by him when he was concentrating, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Moreover, the treasures hidden in such a box must be extraordinary, so it’s safe to just take them away.

"Yes!"

Zhou Feng took the order and carefully went forward to collect the box.

"Wait!"

Jin Hai suddenly shouted: "I want this box!"

He stared at Zhou Feng gloomily and said, "The Reverse Scale Blade is for you."

Zhou Feng's face was full of anger, he gritted his teeth, and his face was ashen.

"Sorry, Zhou Feng won't change."

Xie Huan suddenly took a step sideways and stood between Jin Hai and Zhou Feng, with a faint smile on his lips, but his eyes were as cold as ice, and his right hand was behind his back.

"No? Does he have the qualifications?"

"Yes, because he is my friend."

"Stop pretending to be confused!"

The flames around Jin Hai exploded three feet wide, and the temperature of the secret vault rose sharply.

He crushed the floor tiles with his left foot, and the gravel flew and hit the objects around him, making a "bang bang" sound. "This man is obviously your subordinate. Giving him two treasures is equivalent to you having five and me having three!"

Xie Huan didn't move at all, not even the corner of his clothes fluttered, he just raised his eyelids slightly: "Where is the evidence? Besides, whoever sees it has a share, why do you care about his identity?" He suddenly sneered, "So what if he is my subordinate? Does it bother you?"

The flames in Jin Hai's pupils twisted violently, veins popped out in his temples, and he roared through his teeth: "I have traveled all over the world, but I have never suffered such a big loss!"

Xie Huan lowered his eyes, playing with the ring in his hand, and said slowly: "If you are afraid of being at a disadvantage, then take action. I will directly trigger the restriction and we will all be finished. What should I be afraid of as a barefoot early stage of Hua Shen? Anyway, the road of cultivation has come to an end. I can't compare with you Dao Yin masters at the end of the late stage. It's a big profit to drag a Dao Yin as a scapegoat."

Jin Hai was so angry that he almost exploded, his face was distorted, and the flames in his pupils were shaking violently, but he finally endured it, flicked his sleeves and turned his back.

Xie Huan smiled slightly and said to Zhou Feng, "Take it."

…Several people came out of the secret library and were about to leave. When they passed a corridor, Xie Huan suddenly frowned and looked at a dark fork in the road: "Where does this lead to?"

Zhou Feng looked in the direction and shook his head blankly: "It doesn't seem to be the main road. I don't have any impression of it."

Xie Huan stared for a while, then walked straight in.

The three of them walked a long way forward, and a huge door appeared at the end. Xie Huan's face changed drastically: "Time Sequence--"

The last word was left unspoken, because this gate was not the Gate of Time, it just looked very similar.

Xie Huan thought of the Chamber of Commerce’s previous headquarters—the replica of the Gate of Time on Xianzhou Island, which stood on the island exposed to wind and rain.

The door in front of me——

He stretched out his hand but did not touch it, feeling the coldness, heaviness and restriction of the door.

There are no restrictions on the real Gate of Time.

"You also know about the Gate of Time?"

Jin Hai's surprised voice came.

"You're the only one who knows this?"

Xie Huan rolled his eyes in response, then transformed into a pale blue-silver glow and analyzed the restrictions on the door.

Soon the restrictions were broken, and spiritual power surged from Xie Huan's hands, pushing the door open.

"boom--"

As the door opened, a strong dark red evil spirit gushed out from the gap in the door.

"Dragon Evil!"

Xie Huan's pupils suddenly shrank.

Before these dragon evil spirits attacked the body, they were immediately blocked by the protective divine light.

The entire door was pushed open, revealing a vast space inside. A huge dragon corpse appeared in front of the three people. It was a hundred feet long, with scales as black as iron, broken dragon horns, and seven long bronze nails piercing its spine.

The corpse did not decay, but instead continued to emit dragon evil, forming a blood-red mist that enveloped the surroundings.

"The Dragon Evil is actually a dragon corpse?!"

Xie Huan was so shocked that he was unable to react.

He always thought that the dragon evil must be some kind of magic weapon or substance that could restrain the dragon clan, and he never dreamed that it would be a dragon corpse.

How could the dragon clan's own corpse become anti-dragon?

Jin Hai and Zhou Feng were so shocked that they were speechless.

"The skeleton of the ancestor Canglong has appeared in the hidden land of the gods. What is this?"

Jin Hai had a dazed look on his face, opened his mouth wide, and asked in a dry voice.

Xie Huan suddenly felt a strong sense of oppression coming from the dragon corpse.

This feeling of oppression was different from that of Long Sha. It was invisible and intangible, and directly ignored his protective divine light, as if boiling molten iron was pouring into his body.

Xie Huan clenched his fists and activated his Imperial Holy Body to resist the pressure.

The blood-colored mist near the dragon corpse sensed something and all flowed over, swirling around Xie Huan, then eroded his body's protective divine light and transformed into thousands of red-hot steel needles, piercing his flesh.

"What are you doing?!"

Jin Hai shouted in shock and anger, and flames suddenly burst out of his eyes.

He thought Xie Huan was collecting some resources and he hadn't noticed yet, so he shouted angrily.

Xie Huan was too lazy to pay attention to him. He raised his hand, pinched his fingers and activated his golden body to fight against the pressure and the dragon's evil. At the same time, he used his Eye of Insight to the fullest and kept staring at the dragon's corpse.

Zhou Feng suddenly became nervous, clenched his fingers, took a slight step forward, and moved closer to Xie Huan.

He received Xie Huan's divine thoughts and protected him, keeping alert for Jin Hai's sneak attacks.
