Chapter 287: Secret Treasury

"Puppet Saint?" Xiao Han was stunned, and then his eyes flashed with sharp light.

"Sure enough, that so-called inheritance of the Wan Kui Sect Saint was released by you on purpose, wasn't it?"

Jiang Yu did not answer, continuing to pour himself wine as if no one else were there; the meaning was self-evident.

"I imagine the information I left in that inheritance has been fully received by you..."

He raised the cup in his hand, "I wonder what the Ice Saint's answer is..."

"Is what you say true?" Xiao Han stared directly at Jiang Yu, as if wanting to see through his entire person completely.

"I have no need to amuse myself by offending a peak powerhouse who is a Six-Star Dou Sheng, nor do I have any need to waste my own time amusing others."

Jiang Yu said with a calm, unruffled expression, his words filled with an air that brooked no argument.

"Oh?" Xiao Han kept his mouth shut and lowered his head to ponder.

The source of all this was still that Saint inheritance from the Space Trading Fair. The inheritance was not fake; it just contained some extra information.

At the end of the inheritance, Xiao Han had suddenly seen a segment of imagery, clearly deliberately done by someone else, and the person involved was naturally this Puppet Saint before his eyes.

It invited him to come to Langtian City in the Southern Region a few years later to discuss exploring the ancient Wan Kui Sect secret treasury together.

Xiao Han recently felt the time was about right, so he arranged some matters and, taking advantage of the fact that most people's attention was focused on the Creation Saint Relic, he quietly came to Langtian City.

He had originally wanted to see the true ability of this person who was playing god and acting like a ghost; now it seemed he really would have to take the time to make this trip.

As a powerful sect that was famous in one region during the ancient times, even without the existence of an Imperial powerhouse, the Wan Kui Sect's foundation was not something current forces could compare to.

As for the other party's secret treasury, even with Xiao Han's current vision, he could not help but feel his heart grow hot.

"When, and where?" After thinking for a long time, Xiao Han suddenly raised his head and asked.

"Right now." Jiang Yu had a look of having everything under control; clearly, he also believed that no force or powerhouse could resist the temptation of the Wan Kui Sect secret treasury.

"Where?" Xiao Han's eyes burst with light.

"I must ask the Ice Saint to follow me closely." Jiang Yu did not say it directly, only saying it calmly.

"Very well!" Xiao Han did not mind.

Immediately, a vortex appeared inside the private room, and after it closed, the two figures in the room also vanished without a trace.

At this moment, the Token hanging at Yi Huang's waist, far away at Langya Pavilion, suddenly lit up, and a strange soul fluctuation emerged. The former's face immediately sank like water, and a murderous aura soared to the heavens, causing the people outside to feel terrified.

The source of the murderous aura gritted her teeth and said: "Bastard, running around everywhere again!"

Yet she could only rage helplessly, waiting to settle the score later.

Half a month later, in a continuous mountain range in the southwest of the Central Plains.

A dark and gloomy vortex suddenly emerged from the void, and a man in green robes slowly stepped out from it, followed closely by a man in white; it was Jiang Yu and Xiao Han, who had been searching for treasure all the way from the Central Plains.

Looking at the scene below and confirming his location, Xiao Han frowned slightly and could not help but question: "Are you sure the Wan Kui Sect secret treasury is in the southwest of the Central Plains?"

Long ago, he had already studied the Wan Kui Sect mentioned in the inheritance quite thoroughly. From the ancient times until now, it had undergone huge changes; calling it "the sea turning into mulberry fields" would not be an exaggeration.

By Xiao Han's estimation, its sect ruins should be in the Northern Region of the Central Plains, in that area extremely close to the Northwest Continent.

The Wan Kui Sect secret treasury would actually appear in a place almost opposite to that? This round trip would be a difference of hundreds of thousands of miles!

Jiang Yu smiled slightly and said confidently: "I have long known about the Wan Kui Sect secret treasury; it is indeed right here. I ask the Ice Saint not to be too impatient; wait for me to explain in detail."

Although he had long known along the way that this so-called Puppet Saint was a guy who was superstitious and spoke extremely slowly, Xiao Han still found it hard to endure. If it weren't for the sake of the secret treasury, he might have used a Dou Technique to smack his face directly!

Xiao Han suppressed the displeasure in his heart, "Please!"

"Please follow me, Ice Saint; we can talk while we travel." Jiang Yu moved his body and immediately appeared a thousand feet away, while Xiao Han followed closely behind.

"I believe the Ice Saint has already learned of some of the deeds of the Wan Kui Sect through various channels, so I will not repeat them."

Jiang Yu said slowly.

Xiao Han remained silent on the side, only responsible for listening. He still had many doubts about the affairs of the Wan Kui Sect, and these would likely have to be resolved by this guy before him who looked extremely unreliable.

And Jiang Yu continued: "In the ancient times, the Dou Qi Continent once experienced a great upheaval. Subsequently, the continent's civilization went from prosperity to decline, and Imperial powerhouses became fewer and fewer, until now they have become a legend."

"It really is..." Jiang Yu could not help but sigh.

"Sorry, just a feeling." Jiang Yu apologized without any sincerity, "And the period when the Wan Kui Sect was destroyed was exactly when the continent was suffering from the great upheaval."

Xiao Han understood in his heart; this Wan Kui Sect must have also suffered collateral damage when the Evil Clan invaded. In the environment at that time, even Imperial forces were destroyed in large numbers, let alone a sect like the Wan Kui Sect that did not even have an Imperial powerhouse.

At this time, Jiang Yu's voice changed abruptly, his tone rising, "Although the destruction of the Wan Kui Sect was extremely rapid, according to the classics I have read, I finally discovered that the Wan Kui Sect had a premonition that a great disaster was imminent and made emergency plans in advance."

"They transferred a large amount of precious items and the sect's foundation, hoping that the descendants of the Wan Kui Sect would be able to excavate them and make the sect flourish once again."

His tone shifted, and he wore a rather pained expression: "It is a pity that the entire Wan Kui Sect did not survive that catastrophe."

"Only two high-level Saints remained, leaving behind an inheritance at the moment of their deaths, informing of this matter and hoping that someone would inherit it so that their legacy would not be broken."

Jiang Yu chuckled: "As it happens, that inheritance ruin was obtained by me through a stroke of luck, and thus I learned the location of the secret treasury."

Having said that, he shifted his gaze to Xiao Han, the meaning in his eyes clearly saying, "You are truly lucky!"

Xiao Han did not react to this, only pressing further: "Tell me, what is the assessment for that Wan Kui Sect secret treasury, or rather, what mysteries does it have?"

Jiang Yu was called out by Xiao Han but was not embarrassed. Anyone with eyes could see that according to what the former said, he could have kept the secret treasury to himself, so why auction it? It could only be that there was trouble in this secret treasury that he could not solve alone.

He said without changing his expression: "That secret treasury requires two people who have mastered the Wan Kui Sect inheritance to perform the assessment at the same time, and they must both pass it to open it."

He looked at Xiao Han again, looking slightly relieved: "Fortunately, you have already mastered the inheritance; it was not in vain for my painstaking efforts."

"Hehe~" Xiao Han smiled indifferently, "So, how is the secret treasury divided?"

Jiang Yu said very firmly: "Naturally, a fifty-fifty split."

He added with deep meaning: "Otherwise, I fear I would lose everything, and perhaps even lose my life here."

Xiao Han wore a gentle smile on his face: "You are overthinking it."

"Since you are so generous, I will naturally accept it gladly."

"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

The two looked at each other and smiled; the two people, each harboring their own ulterior motives, reached an agreement.

Suddenly, Jiang Yu's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the cliff face ahead, the corners of his mouth curling up involuntarily.

"Finally here."

Immediately, under Xiao Han's inquisitive gaze, he formed a series of hand seals, and then his Dou Qi erupted violently, a streak of Dou Qi dozens of feet long blasting straight toward the cliff face.

"Boom—"

With a loud crash, what appeared before Xiao Han was a deep vortex with a diameter of no more than a few feet.
