Chapter 406: Very Exciting

"All of you have come here, no doubt drawn by this intense treasure aura, but you must think carefully: why are these treasures piled here, and the entire Qiankun Sect is empty? There might be a problem." The Celestial Empress was also full of doubt upon seeing these treasures, feeling as if there was some conspiracy behind it.

She felt it necessary to make this clear to the sect masters.

Upon hearing this, the excitement among the sect masters diminished somewhat.

But now the treasures were right before their eyes, within arm's reach—how could they not take them?

Moreover, with representatives from all sects present, who would dare to oppose them?

"Celestial Empress, I think you're worrying unnecessarily. With all the sect masters here, who would dare to cause trouble?" said the Old Hag of the Blue Sea.

She was deeply envious of the Celestial Empress's peerless beauty—cultivation profound and yet so beautiful; it was simply unjust.

"The treasures are right before our eyes—are we really not going to take them?" said the Wind Sword Sect Master.

"Hehe... Celestial Empress, if you're afraid, you can leave. We'll just divide these treasures among ourselves." The Ten Thousand Demon Ancestor laughed sinisterly.

He was ruthless by nature; there was no reason to leave treasures untouched when they were right there.

With the Ten Thousand Demon Ancestor's habit of plucking even passing geese, he would scoop up any treasure he saw.

"As for the people of Qiankun Sect, they've probably already taken a large batch of treasures and fled, leaving only these. Later, after we divide them, we'll go find that old bastard Qiankunzi and make him spit out the treasures he took," said the Hunyuan Sect Master.

The Celestial Empress frowned, feeling that these people had lost their way before the vast pile of treasures.

"Celestial Empress, are you trying to scare us away so you can keep everything for yourself?" said the Yan Emperor, who had been silent until now.

The former Great Yan Dynasty had lived under the rule of the Sacred Demon Sect, but now that he had mastered his divine skill and his cultivation was overwhelmingly powerful, standing as an equal with these so-called great sects, he could no longer be oppressed.

"Among these treasures, some even you sect masters may not possess, and many more are things we've never seen. If we obtain them, our cultivation might advance further," said the Yan Emperor, staring at the Celestial Empress. Now that the treasures were before them, giving them up was absolutely impossible.

"The Yan Emperor is right. Look, everyone, at what these treasures are."

Hearing this, the crowd greedily gazed at the pile of treasures radiating dazzling light. Even with their vast experience, some treasures were hard to identify.

"That's Starstone; I've heard it has great uses."

"Profound Yin Ice Spirit Grass; it's said to revive the dead."

"Look, those chains—could they be Rule Chains?"

...

Hearing this, everyone looked sharply and were greatly shocked.

"There are sixty Rule Chains!"

"Although Rule Chains cannot be refined, if offered as a sacrifice, their uses are endless—even better than these treasures."

...

The Celestial Empress sighed inwardly as she watched the sect masters, then looked around but found nothing wrong.

"Eh, what is that chicken?" Suddenly, the Celestial Empress noticed something off about the chicken.

The chick, standing in the distance, stared at the people with big, adorable eyes, wondering what they were doing.

Didn't Big Brother say there would be a good show? Why were these people just standing there talking and not doing anything else? That wasn't interesting at all.

The chick stood there bored, stretching its claws as if exercising.

"Are they going to fight or not? If not, this chick is going to sleep. So boring." The chick saw a beautiful woman looking at it and stared back adorably.

But after a while, the chick got bored. It crouched down, folded its wings, tucked its head in, and decided to take a nap first. It would wake up when the fight started.

The Celestial Empress felt the chicken was strange, but couldn't pinpoint why.

Just then, she saw the Yan Emperor walking toward the pile of treasures.

"Since none of you are taking them, I'll take them first," said the Yan Emperor, glancing at the crowd before stepping forward alone.

Such tempting treasures piled up, yet they wouldn't take them—truly, the older they got, the more timid they became.

The crowd watched the Yan Emperor, as if waiting for something.

With a gleam in his eyes, the Yan Emperor approached the pile, slowly reaching out his hand, ready to retreat instantly if anything went wrong.

Cautiously, the Yan Emperor took a deep breath. The moment he touched the treasure, his heart leaped with joy.

"Nothing happened..."

Seeing this, the surrounding sect masters burst into laughter. "See? Nothing happened. Yan Emperor, take it slow and share with us."

Now the Yan Emperor looked at the pile, his greed fully exposed. "Share with you? You're dreaming."

In an instant, the Yan Emperor flicked his sleeve, sweeping all the treasures into his storage ring. Then his figure flickered as he tried to tear through the void and escape.

"Yan Emperor, you bastard!" The sect masters, seeing him hog the treasures and try to flee, erupted in fury.

For the Yan Emperor, with these treasures, he could find a hidden place to cultivate, and when he emerged, who could rival him?

The Celestial Empress's heart trembled at the sight. She hadn't expected nothing to happen.

"Haha..." The Yan Emperor laughed heartily, feeling this was the most exhilarating moment in years.

But the laughter didn't last long before he discovered something terrifying.

This stretch of void seemed sealed; he couldn't leave.

The Yan Emperor shuddered, sensing a bad omen.

Seeing the sect masters glaring at him, his heart churned with conflict.

...

Lin Fan watched the scene calmly, resting his chin on his hand as if watching a play.

This realm had long been sealed by Lin Fan; no one could leave.

Even the three hidden in the void couldn't escape.

...

"Yan Emperor, do you want to die?" The crowd glared.

"Hand over the treasures, or face the consequences."

The Yan Emperor sneered at the crowd. "Hmph, if you want me to spit out the treasures, let's see what you've got."

In an instant, battle erupted.

The Celestial Empress frowned, sensing something ominous, as if someone was orchestrating everything.

Han Lu and Fang Han, hidden in the void, waited quietly.

They coveted the treasures too. Now that the sect masters were fighting the Yan Emperor, it played right into their hands.

They would wait for the right moment to strike.

Under the siege of the eight great sect masters, the Yan Emperor's injuries worsened. With a roar, he tore off his storage ring and hurled it far away. "If you want it, go find it!"

"The opportunity has come."

The three hidden in the void grinned, emerging without hesitation and rushing toward the storage ring.

"Bastards! Don't touch that ring!" The eight sect masters roared in fury, charging into the void.

Han Lu and Fang Han exchanged glances, both startled.

The other figure also made them frown—who was that?

"Boom..."

Just as the three reached for the storage ring, a surge of power enveloped it, blasting them all away.

The storage ring, as if pulled by some force, flew toward the seat on the training ground.

"Clap, clap..."

A round of applause echoed across the entire realm.

"Very exciting. Truly worthy of the great sects."

At that moment, Lin Fan emerged from his invisible state.

When the crowd saw the figure on the chair, they were stunned.

Who was this person?
