598 The Monster in the Coffin (1/2)

Chen Wuhui escaped the palace hall. Then, he discovered that Mo Wen had not escaped, and instead was standing in midair unmoving. His arms were crossed as though he was watching a show.

”Mo Wen, what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly,” Chen Wuhui said, urgingly.

Chen Wuhui couldn't help but stop. Right now, Bu Zhangkun and the others were in front of the rosewood coffin. Once they obtained the Dark Soul Pearl and the Cries of Hades Bell, then they would most likely surround and attack Mo Wen next, as they coveted the treasures on him.

No one would complain that they had too many treasures. He believed that even if they obtained the Dark Soul Pearl and the Cries of Hades Bell, they would not let Mo Wen go.

”Old Grandfather Chen, you go on ahead. I have my own plans.” Mo Wen waved his hand and a strong wind swept up. Then, a gentle force acted on Chen Wuhui's body, directly sending him out. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared into the passageway outside of the palace hall.

In a few blinks, Chen Wuhui was swept by the gust of wind to before the underground river. The speed he came out was actually faster than him flying out himself. For an instant, he felt as though he had become the wind.

Chen Wuhui was secretly astonished. Looking at the deep passageway, he pondered what his next course of action should be for a while, then decisively retreated. Mo Wen would certainly have his reasons for acting in such a way. At this moment, he had better not interfere. In the end, he still did not understand Mo Wen enough.

Chen Zikuang had obtained large amounts of immortal cultivation substances along with Xia Kunqian in the first palace hall. They could not carry along many items with them, so had only been able to pick up a few good items to bring along. Upon seeing Chen Wuhui come out, both of them immediately came over to greet him.

Chen Zikuang and Xia Kunqian were both carrying bundles, both large and small. Every bundle seemed to be larger than their entire person. However, fortunately, they were both ancient martial art practitioners with high cultivation, so weight was not a problem for them at all.

Aside from Chen Zikuang and Xia Kunqian, a few ancient martial art practitioners who had not entered the second palace hall were also carrying bundles big and small. Their cultivation was not high, so they did not dare to enter the second hall. They could only stay in the first hall to retrieve substances.

”How was it?” Chen Wuhui asked once he came out.

”This time, we have collected a lot of stuff.”

Both Chen Zikuang and Xia Kunqian had excited faces. Clearly, this time they had collected many items.

”Let's go, quickly.”Chen Wuhui glanced back once, then adjusting his clothes, lowered his head and headed out without another word. In his clothes were hidden six to seven spiritual weapons. Aside from low-grade spiritual weapons, among them were medium grade spiritual weapons. It was enough to make any sect envious.

Chen Zikuang and Xia Kunqian did not understand why, but both of them very tacitly did not ask. Only once they had left the cave did Chen Zikuang finally ask, ”What about Mo Wen?”

”He…” Chen Wuhui laughed bitterly and said, ”I do not know what he intends to do. He said that he has his own arrangements. We do not need to worry about him. Even if something has happened to him, with our current ability, we also can't help him. We might even hold him back.”

Although he did not say it, he had just thought of something. Mo Wen's attitude just now had seemed to indicate that was interested in the Dark Soul Pearl and the Cries of Hades Bell. However, Chen Wuhui had not imagined that Mo Wen would be so daring as to actually go over and take them.

Both Purple Qi Pavilion and Five Beasts Sect had mobilized their entire sects, whereas Mo Wen was just alone. He had also already incurred the wrath of four later stage Golden Elixir realm experts. If he went over to claim the Dark Soul Pearl and the Cries of Hades Bell right now, it would be impossible for them to let him go.

In the palace hall, Mo Wen crossed his arms and silently floated in midair. He looked at the people approaching the rosewood coffin. The corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile.

Jiang Pingzhou was the first to fly up to the rosewood coffin. He had no reverence for the person in the rosewood coffin who was an ancient elder in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. With a palm strike, a rich Inner Qi shot out, intending to shatter the rosewood coffin.

However, the power of Jiang Pingzhou's palm strike had not shattered the rosewood coffin. It remained unmoved, seemingly not affected at all.

Who was Jiang Pingzhou? He was the leader of the Medical Sect and a later stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner. With the power of his palm strike, even a large boulder would be turned to dust, let alone a rosewood coffin.

The expressions of the few people around him changed slightly. No one had expected that a seemingly ordinary coffin would actually be so extraordinary.

Jiang Pingzhou's face darkened. He had not anticipated that this coffin would actually be so extraordinary. In public, he had lost some face. However, then he thought, if the rosewood coffin was also extraordinary, that meant the chances of the Dark Soul Pearl and the Cries of Hades Bell being in it were also higher. In an instant, his gaze became even more obsessed.

”There seem to be runes carved on the rosewood coffin. It is no ordinary item,” Bu Zhangkun said in a low voice, light flashing in his eyes.

Runes were commonly seen in the Immortal Cultivation world. Ancient martial art practitioners did not understand much about them, only being aware of such things.

The Immortal Cultivation world's runes usually represented mysterious power. This power could be used to manufacture magical treasures, setup stratagems, and manufacture spell talismans.

Runes, in a sense, were equal to the transfer of an immortal cultivator's power. Bu Zhangkun did not know the exact specifics. He only knew that runes were usually the items of immortal cultivators.

For example, on spiritual weapons, there were runes that some ancient martial art practitioners could not see. Stratagem flags and stratagem boards also had similar runes.

For the coffin to have runes on it, meant that the coffin was related to an immortal cultivator. It was even possible for the coffin itself to be a spiritual weapon.
