Wan Yi seemed to suddenly realize something. As a cunning old fox who had been around for hundreds of years, how could he not react?

I've been set up!

"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding..."

He struggled to his feet from the bottom of the pit, his forehead covered in cold sweat, and opened his mouth to speak.

But there was no chance for him to explain.

"Hmph, a pseudo-Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Protector Zhou Yan snorted coldly and casually raised his hand, "Truly ugly."

There was no dazzling magical light, no earth-shattering power, just a simple, understated flick of the finger.

The next second, Wan Yi felt an irresistible force gripping his soul.

That wasn't physical oppression, but a higher-level, rule-based crushing.

His consciousness began to blur, and his memories receded like the tide. Hundreds of years of cultivation, a lifetime of experiences, all the love, hate and grudges were ruthlessly erased at this moment.

Like a destructive force, it was wiped out in an instant.

"How dare such an audacious person exist in this tiny Southern Continent, daring to kill members of my Demon Alliance!"

The cultivator in the Azure Empyrean robe, radiating righteous indignation, angrily cursed:

"It's a pity that a member of the Chu family, who cared deeply for both the human and demon races, died so tragically in a foreign land."

At this point, Zhou Yan's eyes actually reddened slightly, revealing a genuine sense of regret.

Clearly, these words came from the bottom of his heart.

This is why he didn't give Wan Yi any chance to explain before eliminating him directly.

He watched as Wan Yi vanished into thin air before his very eyes once again.

Xu Ze smiled and shook his head.

"Old dog, still not smart enough."

He went to great lengths to get this old guy to make a move today.

First, Xu Ze buried a [Celestial Concealing Talisman] beforehand to cover up the area.

Then, the Third Elder told Wan Yi that there was a remote place in the Southern Continent that could not be explored, and Chu Sheng would be passing through it.

After Wan Yi personally verified that this place was indeed impossible to explore, the old man was overjoyed and began to lay out his killing move.

As for Chu Sheng, Xu Ze also asked Brother Changqing to make the same arrangement, 'unintentionally' revealing the existence of this place to him.

Sure enough, these two old dogs, who had been harboring resentment for a long time, couldn't wait to bite as soon as they got the chance.

It's the kind of fight that's deadly.

Then, Xu Ze asked Brother Changqing to ask the Demon Alliance headquarters for help.

Only then was the plan successfully completed.

Of course, Wan Yi must have discovered the trick before he died.

Unfortunately, it's no longer useful.

Because Xu Ze specifically instructed this guy to make sure to invite the most righteous and decisive leader in the Demon Alliance!

In this way, Wan Yi had no chance to defend himself.

Moreover, even if he were to explain and reveal the truth...

He said that he originally planned to collude with Chu Sheng to exterminate the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

By then, I'm afraid not even ashes will remain.

"Deacon Xu, and young friend Xu, I entrust the maintenance of peace between humans and demons in the Southern Continent to you from now on."

After dealing with Wan Yi, Zhou Yan turned around and looked at Xu Changqing and Xu Ze.

"Please help bury Deacon Chu's belongings along with his remains, so that he may rest in peace."

"I have important business to attend to at headquarters, so I won't stay any longer."

His gaze lingered on Xu Ze for a moment, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes: "By the way, kid, I think you have quite a bit of potential. You've also done a lot for our Demon Slaying Alliance these past few days."

"You're welcome to come to Dongzhou anytime. I'll protect you."

Faced with such high regard.

Xu Ze quickly cupped his hands in thanks, "Thank you, senior."

The figure in front of them vanished instantly in the next second.

They came and went like the wind, leaving no trace. Only the faint pressure lingering in the air proved that this Void Refinement stage expert had personally visited this place.

Before leaving, the protector named Zhou Yan did not touch anything on the ground.

Firstly, he didn't think much of it.

Secondly, in his mind, Chu Sheng was also a respectable colleague who guarded the border region.

This has nothing to do with cultivation level.

Therefore, Zhou Yan was even more reluctant to desecrate it.

But Xu Ze is different.

He knew Chu Sheng's true colors.

"The fame is yours, the treasure is mine."

Chapter 61 Confiscating Property!

Xu Ze looked at the storage bag in his hand, filled with all sorts of treasures, and couldn't help but smile.

When Zhou Yan returned to the Demon Alliance, he erected a monument for Chu Sheng, but did not bury these things with him.

That's such a waste.

Does he fit too?

If you're born into this world, you're lucky to even have a grave.

"Brother, let's split it 50/50."

Xu Ze hadn't forgotten Xu Changqing's share either. He opened Chu Sheng's storage bag and said with a smile.

The old man continued to stroke his beard with a smile, without responding immediately.

As soon as Chu Sheng opened his storage bag, he found quite a few treasures inside.

The spirit stones were piled up like mountains, roughly estimated to be no less than 100,000, mostly low-grade and mid-grade, with a small pile of high-grade spirit stones as well.

Various bottles and jars of pills were neatly arranged, covering everything from healing to cultivation. They were of a much higher grade than those in He Yundao's storage bag, many being high-quality pills that would take him some time to refine.

There were also over a dozen magical artifacts and treasures, most of them of good quality. There were also some miscellaneous materials, scriptures, talismans…

Among them, the most eye-catching is...

It was a golden page.

It was placed separately in a jade box at the deepest part of the storage bag, protected by three layers of restrictions.

The pages themselves were not large, only about the size of a palm, yet they emitted a faint golden halo. The halo was not static, but rather flowed like ripples on water, occasionally revealing some ancient characters that were difficult to decipher.

This is clearly a level above all the other treasures!

"This is?"

Xu Ze carefully took out the pages of the book; they felt warm and smooth to the touch, as if they were alive.

With a thought, the system scanned the screen, and a panel quickly popped up:

[Divine Light Heavenly Book (Fragment)]

[Description: The contents can be read using divine sense at the Nascent Soul stage or above.]

Chu Sheng possesses such a treasure?!

He was shocked, but he quickly made the connection.

The Third Elder mentioned it in the previous life.

Wan Yi used the same treasure he had risked his life to obtain in the Central Continent to exchange with Chu Sheng the location information of the Fox Clan and what he had done after helping him cover up his actions.

Otherwise, the Demon Slayer Alliance would definitely not let Wan Yi go.

"I suppose this is it."

Xu Ze was basically certain of what was going on.

This thing can only be explored by those at the Nascent Soul stage or above. Wan Yi is only a pseudo-Nascent Soul cultivator. If his cultivation cannot be improved in this lifetime, this thing is just a blank book, completely useless.

That's why he reluctantly gave it to Chu Sheng, hoping to exchange it for the furnace cauldron and gamble on a sliver of hope.

Unable to find Bai Yuxi, Wan Yi wanted to get the item back. After all, it was a treasure full of unknowns, and he could exchange it for something else.

"No wonder the two of them hate each other so much. If it weren't for this treasure, I wouldn't have been able to instigate them so easily."

Xu Ze clicked his tongue in amazement. His plan had gone so smoothly because of perfect timing, favorable location, and harmonious relationships.

With only two of you, Bi Yang Wan Yi and Chu Sheng Dong west, even God won't help you.

"Brother, I only want this one thing, the rest are yours, how about it?"

After thinking it over, he tried to discuss it with his 'comrade-in-arms' beside him.

Xu Ze has the system's eye for identification, but Xu Changqing does not.

Chu Sheng's remaining treasures are also quite good; he should agree.

But to everyone's surprise, the other party just smiled and shook their head.

"Is that not allowed?"

Xu Ze thought about it again and realized that it made sense. Even Wan Yi and Chu Sheng knew that this was a treasure, so how could he not sense it?

Having said that, he wanted to raise the stakes further, but was interrupted by the old man beside him:
