in the valley.

When Zhou Mingde saw Ruan Hongzhuang suddenly pounce on Zhou Chun, he was instantly shocked and his expression changed drastically. He hurriedly shouted a warning to Zhou Chun to be careful.

However, Ruan Hongzhuang acted too suddenly, and was less than twenty feet away from Zhou Chun. Her voice had barely left her lips when she appeared beside Zhou Chun.

In this situation, dealing with a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator with the cultivation level of the Purple Mansion stage can be said to be a piece of cake.

That's what Ruan Hongzhuang was thinking.

It was only after she came out and noticed Zhou Chun approaching that she had a flash of inspiration and came up with a way to capture the hostage.

Previously, inside the underground tomb, she was forced by circumstances to agree to Zhou Mingde's proposal to cooperate with him in dealing with the blue-faced zombie.

However, given Shen Borong's example, she didn't believe deep down that Zhou Mingde would really share the findings of this tomb exploration with her.

So once she got to the ground, she looked at Zhou Chun approaching and instantly had the idea of ​​taking Zhou Chun hostage.

Judging from the previous incident where Shen Borong suggested that the three juniors go down to help, but Zhou Mingde sternly refused, it is clear that Zhou Mingde has an extraordinary concern for Zhou Chun, this junior.

If we can capture Zhou Chun as a hostage, we won't have to worry about Zhou Mingde abandoning us after we've served our purpose. We might even be able to get some of what we've gained from him.

However, she had a good plan and the timing of her move was also good, but she never considered whether she could actually capture Zhou Chun.

All the good things she envisioned were based on capturing Zhou Chun as soon as possible.

In reality, she failed when she tried to capture Zhou Chun!

At that moment, seeing Ruan Hongzhuang suddenly rush towards him, Zhou Chun was terrified and his face changed color.

However, his reaction was extremely swift. He immediately opened his mouth and spat out a golden rainbow that shot towards the oncoming Ruan Hongzhuang, while simultaneously retreating rapidly.

Zhou Chun had never spent much time on other secret techniques, focusing solely on cultivating the "Flowing Light Golden Rainbow" secret technique.

Through years of diligent practice, he has mastered this secret technique to an extremely profound level, enabling him to unleash it at will, much like the "Golden Cauldron Mystic Light."

Furthermore, the power of "Flowing Golden Rainbow" at this moment is several times stronger than when he first started learning it.

Ruan Hongzhuang decided to capture Zhou Chun on a whim, not expecting that her Purple Mansion stage cultivation would fail against a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

So much so that by the time she sensed the power of the golden rainbow and realized something was wrong, it was too late to change her strategy.

A flash of golden light appeared, and the protective shield that Ruan Hongzhuang had erected was instantly covered with cracks. Her forward movement was also forcibly stopped by a powerful force.

Although the pause was only momentary, she quickly struck again, unleashing a fiery red beam of spiritual light at Zhou Chun.

But that brief pause cost her the chance to capture Zhou Chun!

However, under Zhou Mingde's command, the Vulcan Jackal pounced on Zhou Chun's side immediately and blocked her attack.

Seeing this, Ruan Hongzhuang felt extremely regretful and immediately turned and fled without hesitation.

It turned out that when she made her move, she had already sent a telepathic message to her junior, instructing him to immediately open a magical passage for her to leave using the array flags.

But something went wrong for her again.

The array passage opened by her junior disappeared abruptly as soon as it appeared.

The person who stopped her from escaping was none other than Shen Borong's junior!

Clearly, the formation that Shen Borong provided was not as simple as he claimed.

In fact, the real control of the formation was still in the hands of his junior.

"Shen Shiming, what have you done?"

With her escape route cut off, Ruan Hongzhuang looked at her junior, Shen Borong, with a face full of shock and anger.

Faced with her angry rebuke, Shen Borong, the junior, also looked at her with a face full of shock and anger, and said, "This junior would like to ask Senior Ruan what you intend to do?"

"Where is my great-uncle? Senior Ruan, what was the meaning of your attack on Fellow Daoist Zhou just now? And why do you want to leave alone now?"

It turned out that he had already received instructions from Shen Borong that unless Shen Borong personally instructed him to open the formation, anyone who tried to open the formation passage to escape should be immediately stopped.

Moreover, even without Shen Borong's instruction, Ruan Hongzhuang's actions just now were enough to make him do this.

After all, the blue-faced zombie that chased after them was clearly exceptionally powerful. As a cultivator in the Purple Mansion stage, Ruan Hongzhuang wanted to escape alone, which he naturally disagreed with.

However, he never expected that his great-uncle Shen Borong, who had entrusted him with this matter, was already dead!

His actions just now have blocked Ruan Hongzhuang's path to survival!

Ruan Hongzhuang instantly flew into a rage and shouted angrily, "You idiot! You didn't stop the one who actually killed Fellow Daoist Shen, but instead you tried to stop me! How could Fellow Daoist Shen have such a foolish junior like you!"

"What did you say? My great-uncle is dead!"

Shen Shiming's expression changed, and he looked at Zhou Mingde with a shocked expression.

Zhou Mingde, without saying a word, directly unleashed his magical weapon and attacked him.

At the same time, the blue-faced zombie also pounced on Zhou Mingde, who was the closest and weakest.

This chaotic battle was dazzling to watch, with changes happening too fast.

However, the results came out quickly.

Faced with Zhou Mingde's attack, Shen Shiming was killed in one blow without any power to resist.

Zhou Mingde, with the protection of his third-tier defensive talisman and protective magic artifact, withstood the attack of the blue-faced zombie.

On the other side, Zhou Chun, who was protected by the Fire God Jackal, also quickly activated the array flags to open an array channel after Shen Shiming's death.

Then Zhou Mingde threw Shen Shiming's corpse at the blue-faced zombie, and quickly rushed towards the array passage.

The blue-faced zombie is inherently unintelligent and acts entirely on instinct.

When Shen Shiming's blood-soaked corpse was thrown in front of it, the heavily injured creature immediately embraced the body and began to drink its blood.

This allowed Zhou Mingde to successfully break through the formation with Zhou Chun.

Once outside, Zhou Mingde immediately told Zhou Chun to leave first, while he and the Fire God Jackal went to hunt down Ruan Hongzhuang, who had also escaped the formation.

At this moment, Zhou Chun was also filled with shock.

He didn't know what had happened in the underground tomb or why Zhou Mingde had killed Shen Borong.

However, out of trust and obedience to Zhou Mingde, he immediately activated the "Flowing Golden Rainbow" secret technique to escape.

With Zhou Chun no longer a weakness, Zhou Mingde relentlessly pursued and attacked Ruan Hongzhuang.

At this time, there was no trace of mortals left in Yang Kingdom, so neither of them needed to worry about whether the blue-faced zombie would slaughter other living beings after it came to earth.

They didn't care about this matter.

In Zhou Mingde's view, only by killing Ruan Hongzhuang to silence her could he completely monopolize the spoils and prevent the news from leaking out.

In order to survive, Ruan Hongzhuang was naturally unwilling to simply wait to die.

After such a chase, Zhou Mingde ultimately failed to save Ruan Hongzhuang's life, and she successfully escaped the pursuit.

Despite his resentment at failing to silence the witnesses, Zhou Mingde had no choice but to accept reality.

He didn't linger in Yang Kingdom for long; after a short rest, he quickly returned to Dayun Kingdom.

Not long after Zhou Chun returned to the market, Zhou Mingde also returned safely to the market.

"Elder, what exactly happened inside the underground tomb? Why did you turn against Shen Borong and Ruan Hongzhuang?"

Inside the market, after Zhou Mingde returned, Zhou Chun breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but immediately ask the question that had been bothering him.

In fact, Zhou Chun was not unprepared for the infighting among the three Purple Mansion stage cultivators.

After all, countless examples have shown that when faced with truly precious treasures, few cultivators are willing to share their spoils with others.

However, the situation at the time filled Zhou Chun with doubts.

Because he personally witnessed Zhou Mingde and Ruan Hongzhuang rushing out of the underground tomb, and at that time, the two were clearly still in a cooperative relationship.

Faced with his barrage of questions, Zhou Mingde waved his hand wearily and said, "I know you're in a hurry, but now is not the time to talk about this. Let me recover and then I'll explain the details to you!"

After saying that, he went alone into a secret room in the courtyard to meditate and recover.

He would meditate for an entire day.

After fully restoring his magical power and easing his mental and physical state, Zhou Mingde took out the storage bag and spirit beast bag he had obtained from the blue-faced zombie to check his gains.

With anticipation in his eyes, he first opened the spirit beast pouch and poured his divine sense into it.

Since its master has long since passed away, both the spirit beast pouch and the storage pouch can be opened at will.

The spirit beast pouch in Zhou Mingde's hand was undoubtedly the most high-end item he had ever seen.

This spirit beast bag has a very large internal space and is divided into compartments. It is estimated that it can hold five spirit pets or five different kinds of demonic insects at the same time.

What's remarkable is that the spirit beast pouch itself is made of a very tough material, so much so that even the attack methods of a Foundation Establishment cultivator would likely find it difficult to damage.

A spirit beast bag like this, with its internal space that can be divided, is much more difficult to make than an ordinary spirit beast bag, and it is very difficult to buy on the market.

If this spirit beast pouch were to be sold, it would probably be more expensive than an ordinary high-grade third-tier magic weapon.

After carefully examining the spirit beast bag and finding no demonic beasts or insects inside, Zhou Mingde set it aside and opened another storage bag.

The storage bag of a Golden Core cultivator is naturally extraordinary.

This storage bag not only has a huge internal space, but also has unique protective restrictions. While the owner is still alive, even if an outsider obtains the storage bag, it will be very difficult to open it without damaging the contents.

However, since the owner of the storage bag had passed away many years ago, Zhou Mingde opened the bag without any difficulty.

As soon as he focused his consciousness into the storage bag, a smile quickly appeared on his face.

With a flick of his wrist, he shook out all the contents of his storage bag.

Compared to the enormous storage space inside the storage bag, which was ten feet square, there wasn't much stuff inside.

However, treasures are never about quantity, but quality.

Of those few items, every single one is a treasure!

It must be said that the methods left behind by the tomb owner caused Zhou Mingde and his group a lot of trouble.

However, the treasures he left behind are also very rewarding.

Inside the storage bag, Zhou Mingde discovered a large number of well-preserved books, including various books on martial arts, secret techniques, illustrations, and travelogues.

They even discovered two artifacts that embody the Dao among them!

Unsurprisingly, Zhou Mingde easily found the beast-taming and insect-driving techniques mastered by the tomb owner in these ancient texts. In fact, many of those texts were about the inheritance of this skill.

However, now is not the time to study these classic texts.

After glancing at them briefly, Zhou Mingde turned his attention to the other treasures.

Perhaps considering the damage that time would cause to the treasures, the treasures left by the tomb owner were specially sealed in jade boxes.

Zhou Mingde first opened the two jade boxes made of the best materials, and what was inside did not disappoint him; they were the two magical treasures left behind by the tomb owner.

The two magical artifacts were a dark blue-green banner and an earthen-yellow protective shield.

Both of these magical artifacts possessed a certain spirituality. Even though they had been sealed away for countless years, they still instantly emitted a spiritual light and flew out of the jade box after Zhou Mingde opened it.

However, Zhou Mingde was prepared for this scene. He immediately reached out and used his magic power to grab and suppress the two magical treasures.

Although he was a cultivator at the Purple Mansion stage and could not refine magic treasures, suppressing two unclaimed magic treasures was not difficult for him.

After examining the two magical artifacts for a while, Zhou Mingde put them back into the jade box and sealed them away.

Then he opened the other dozen or so jade boxes one by one, and the contents sealed inside came into view.

Somewhat to his surprise, among these dozen or so jade boxes, only four actually contained magical artifacts or spiritual objects.

Inside the four jade boxes were two high-grade third-tier magic artifacts, three spirit crystals, and a fist-sized piece of golden ore.

The rest of the jade boxes were filled with various insect eggs!

The tomb owner clearly took great care of those insect eggs, not only sealing them in jade boxes but also using unique sealing artifacts on them.

Some insect eggs were sealed inside spirit jade, some inside metal or stone, and some were sealed in special containers made of medicine.

Protected by these special sealed spirit objects, even after countless years, most of the insect eggs inside still retain their vitality and can be hatched.

It is not difficult to see from this that the tomb owner actually hoped that the cultivator who obtained his relics would inherit his insect-repelling technique and prevent this skill from being lost.

Upon taking inventory, Zhou Mingde couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected of the relics of a Golden Core cultivator, although there aren't many items, their value is immeasurable!"

Then, suppressing his joy, he opened another storage bag.

That was Shen Borong's storage bag.

Now he wants to verify something.
