Chapter 2060: The Secret Treasure of the Weeping Spirit

From beginning to end, the nearby Demon guards failed to discover Han Li in the slightest.

At this moment, Han Li was even more curious about the identities of the two people in front.

He was able to ignore the prohibition at the city wall by relying on his own powerful divine abilities, but the two people ahead, whose strength was clearly far inferior to his, were also able to sweep past without disturbing these prohibitions in the slightest.

Clearly, the two either possessed some special treasure for breaking prohibitions, or they themselves might control the entry and exit of these prohibitions, making them figures with a certain status in Blood Crow City.

As Han Li's thoughts turned, he locked onto the two streaks of light ahead like a maggot on a rotting bone, chasing them for over ten thousand miles until they arrived above a pile of pitch-black rubble.

Suddenly, the green light in the very front dropped downward and vanished among the rubble in a flash.

The gray streak of light following closely behind paused slightly, then dropped down without the slightest hesitation.

On a giant rock below, the light converged, revealing an old man with gray robes and silver eyes, who looked around with a sinister expression.

"Eh, isn't this the Blood Crow City Lord?"

Han Li appeared silently above the rubble pile, looked at the old man below, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.

The Blood Crow City Lord naturally did not discover Han Li, who was concealed in the sky. He swept his gaze around, let out a cold snort, flipped his hand, and unexpectedly produced a small black umbrella, which he threw into the air while chanting an incantation.

Pu chi!

The small black umbrella transformed into a giant size of several feet, hovering in mid-air and releasing ten thousand rays of black light, shrouding several acres of land beneath it.

Behind another smaller giant rock, dozens of feet away from the old man, a muffled sound was heard!

A pale blue figure seemed to be struck by a great force and stumbled out. It was a middle-aged man in blue robes with an ordinary face, but there was no expression on his face, as if he had anticipated his tracks being exposed.

Han Li saw the middle-aged man's face clearly, and his eyes flickered slightly.

This man was the Demon "Old Second Yang" who had auctioned off that Saint Brick in the auction house earlier.

And the moment the man was forced to reveal his form, the Blood Crow City Lord let out a low shout and waved one of his palms toward the void.

A blood-red light over ten feet long flashed and vanished, and the giant rock and ground in front of Old Second Yang were actually slashed into two halves with a booming sound.

The middle-aged man's figure blurred and vanished instantly, causing the blood light to slash into empty space.

A giant trench ten feet long immediately appeared on the ground, looking astonishing.

"Hehe, for the sake of an external object, is Fellow Daoist Bing really planning to take Yang's life?" In another direction, some distance away from the trench, Old Second Yang appeared with his arms crossed, a hint of mockery on his lips, showing no fear of the Blood Crow City Lord, a Demon Venerable of the Body Integration stage.

"So you really did deliberately lure me out of the city. If you have any helpers, call them all out." The Blood Crow City Lord's eyes flickered with cold light as he slowly spoke to the middle-aged man.

"Helpers? Why would Fellow Daoist Bing say that? Besides Yang, there is no third person here." Old Second Yang laughed and replied.

"A mere Void Refinement stage cultivator, if you didn't have someone backing you, would you dare to be so calm in front of this City Lord?" The Blood Crow City Lord's eyes swirled with silver light as he said gloomily.

"If Fellow Daoist Bing doesn't believe me, there's nothing Yang can do. But the reason I lured you here this time is not out of malice; I just want to discuss a mutually beneficial deal with you." Old Second Yang blinked and replied nonchalantly.

"Discuss a deal? Of course you can. But that depends on whether you have the qualifications to talk to this seat. Killing you will allow me to get what I want; why would I need to trade?" The Blood Crow City Lord laughed wildly upon hearing this, took a giant step forward, and his figure suddenly vanished within a sheet of blood light.

The next moment, a ripple occurred behind the middle-aged man, and the Blood Crow City Lord appeared like a ghost. His body swelled, and a blood-red giant hand carried a fishy wind as it slapped down toward Old Second Yang's head.

This Blood Crow City Lord didn't listen to the other party's words at all, directly unleashing a great divine ability, intending to kill the middle-aged man with one palm.

Old Second Yang's eyes twitched, but without looking back, he also slapped out with one palm.

Ghostly wails rose, and a pitch-black giant hand also emerged.

With an earth-shattering loud noise, the two figures were simultaneously blasted backward in a hurricane that suddenly surged up.

"Body Integration mid-stage! You are not Old Second Yang!"

The Blood Crow City Lord's shocked and angry shout came from the booming sound. When the dazzling light faded, his face appeared slightly pale.

At this moment, the middle-aged man on the opposite side also stabilized his figure, and the spiritual pressure radiating from his body surged, clearly also at the Body Integration mid-stage.

"Whether I am Old Second Yang or not is important? Besides, who said I am not Old Second Yang?" On the other side, a strange expression appeared on Old Second Yang's face.

"You have gone to such great lengths to target me; are you from the Seven Killings of the Thunder Sea or from Heaven Abode Mountain?" The Blood Crow City Lord stared at Old Second Yang's face for a moment before asking coldly.

"Fellow Daoist Bing truly has a quick reaction. I am indeed from the Thunder Sea, but I am not one of the Seven Killings; I am just a loose cultivator. Back then, you took advantage of the Seven Killings and the people from Heaven Abode Mountain ransacking the place where the Weeping Spirit Saint Ancestor passed away, and quietly stole three of the four Saint Bricks, causing the Seven Killings and the people from Heaven Abode Mountain to have a bloody battle, while you yourself came to such a distant place to be a City Lord. Tsk tsk, I wonder if the Seven Killings and the people from Heaven Abode Mountain knew about this, would there still be a place for you in the Saint Realm?" Old Second Yang laughed lightly.

"Hmph, you know enough about my past. It seems the Saint Brick at the auction house was also a fake you deliberately produced." The Blood Crow City Lord asked, his mouth twitching.

"This item was appraised on the spot by the auction house; how could it be fake? I just destroyed some of the incantations inside. You chased me here, isn't it also for this fourth Saint Brick?" Old Second Yang shook his sleeve, supported a jade-green wooden box with one hand, and said meaningfully.

The Blood Crow City Lord stared at the wooden box, his expression fluctuating for a long time before asking another question:

"Regardless of your background, I am determined to get this fourth Saint Brick. Tell me how you want to trade."

"Fellow Daoist Bing is truly a straightforward person. In that case, I won't beat around the bush. You and I both know that these four Saint Bricks are related to the legendary Weeping Spirit Secret Map. It is said that if the four Saint Bricks of the Weeping Spirit Saint Ancestor can be gathered together, not only can one obtain all the divine abilities of that old man, but one can also obtain the secret treasure map drawn by the old man himself. Not to mention the various rare treasures inside, just that 'Ink Spirit Saint Boat', a flight treasure that can rank in the top three of the Saint Realm, is something many people drool over. If one obtains it, I'm afraid even ordinary Saint Ancestors wouldn't be able to easily kill us. I want to work with you to gather this secret map and then join forces to split this treasure?" Old Second Yang said with a smile.

"I have three Saint Bricks, and you only have one. You want to split the treasure? Don't you think that's too childish?" The Blood Crow City Lord seemed to have anticipated this answer, but said gloomily.

"Yang thinks that there is no difference between one and three Saint Bricks. If you could gather the secret map with just the three Saint Bricks in your hand, you wouldn't have been staying in this Blood Crow City so cautiously for so many years. My request to split the treasure is not excessive." Old Second Yang said confidently.

"This matter is of great importance. I need to consider it before deciding. And before that, I need to check the Saint Brick in your hand again." The Blood Crow City Lord pondered for a moment before saying cautiously.

"How do you want to check it? You aren't planning to have Yang hand over the Saint Brick directly, are you?" Old Second Yang was startled upon hearing this and said vigilantly.

"That's not it. Fellow Daoist just needs to take out the Saint Brick and stimulate it slightly with spiritual power, and I can directly verify its authenticity with a secret technique." The Blood Crow City Lord said calmly.

"If it's limited to this, that's fine. To gain your trust, I will make an exception this once." The middle-aged man seemed to hesitate for a long time before reluctantly nodding.

"Fellow Daoist is so straightforward; you are truly sincere about wanting to cooperate with Bing." The silver-eyed old man was overjoyed upon hearing this.

He had originally intended to argue with the other party if he had proposed this condition, but he hadn't expected the other party to agree immediately.

"Fellow Daoist, look closely." Old Second Yang slapped the wooden box in his hand. Immediately, spiritual light flashed, the lid flew open, and a crystal-clear long brick slowly flew out from inside, hovering in front of the middle-aged man.

And Old Second Yang tapped the crystal brick lightly with one finger, and a stream of pure magic power was injected into it.

The Blood Crow City Lord did not dare to be negligent. He formed hand seals with both hands, his silver eyes staring fixedly at the long crystal brick in the distance without blinking.

At the same time, a powerful divine sense radiated from the old man's brow, instantly descending upon the crystal brick, wrapping it and intending to probe inside.

But at this moment, a point of silver light suddenly shone in the center of the crystal brick, a crisp cracking sound was heard, and the crystal brick unexpectedly exploded into dots of white light.

The silver light spots expanded and contracted, unexpectedly transforming into a rapidly rotating silver halo, instantly pulling all the nearby divine sense into the center.

"Not good!"

The Blood Crow City Lord shouted, a layer of blood-red light emerged on his body, and his body tilted backward slightly.

The leading demon guard, in his shock and anger, wanted to urge his demon beast to chase after them.

But what was surprising was that at the same time, a ripple occurred behind Old Second Yang, and a pale ghost hand emerged silently. With a blur, it appeared behind the man, grabbing down fiercely with five fingers like knives.

These two were simultaneously subjected to a fatal sneak attack!
