Chapter 337: Master, I sense a trap

With Su Chen's intelligence, how could he possibly do something so foolish?

Lin Zhengnan was still too naive.

"Our Lin Family Treasury has been like this since ancient times; it only allows two people to enter. If anyone else goes, even if you kill me, there is nothing I can do."

Cold sweat dripped down Lin Zhengnan, but he still bit the bullet to negotiate with Su Chen.

Su Chen did not yet know where those treasures were hidden, so there was still a chance to negotiate. Once he actually led Su Chen there and those treasures were pocketed by him, then his own life would truly be dispensable.

Seeing that Lin Zhengnan remained this stubborn, Su Chen lost his patience. He waved his hand at Yi Zhuyue, and Yi Zhuyue understood immediately, attacking the two Elders behind Lin Zhengnan.

Having already witnessed two Elders die before them, the two Elders were already highly tense. Now, seeing Yi Zhuyue's move, they hurriedly scattered to flee.

They understood that Yi Zhuyue already intended to kill them; if they sat and waited for death, only a dead end awaited them.

Thinking this, the two hardened their hearts and forcibly burned their essence blood to boost their cultivation, determined to fight Yi Zhuyue to the death.

These two Elders were both at the Quasi-Emperor Peak Realm; even by burning their essence blood, they far exceeded the Quasi-Emperor Peak Realm, but they still could not step over the threshold of a Half-step Great Emperor.

Furthermore, Su Chen had more than just one powerful person like Yi Zhuyue by his side.

Those two Elders didn't even have time to reach Su Chen before Xiaoxian directly released Dragon Flame Fierce Fire, instantly blocking their path. Immediately after, Yi Zhuyue slashed her sword directly at the two of them.

One of them hurriedly dodged, but the other failed to dodge in time and had an arm hacked off.

The man screamed in pain as his arm fell off. Clutching his arm, which was spurting blood, he gritted his teeth and said, "Ahhh, you bitch, I will definitely kill you!"

After speaking, he charged toward Yi Zhuyue regardless of anything else.

Because he was too angry, his emotional fluctuations were intense and his aura became chaotic. Yi Zhuyue found his weak point in a few moves and blasted him with a palm strike.

The man flew more than ten meters away and slammed into the wall.

"Overestimating your own strength."

Xiaoxian let out a cold snort. For a man who attempted to harm Su Chen and was so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, she showed no mercy, directly burning him to ashes with a ball of flame.

The other man knew it would be his turn next, so he prepared for a desperate struggle. Taking advantage of the fact that Xiaoxian and Yi Zhuyue's attention was on the other man, he charged over without hesitation.

But his cultivation was simply not enough in front of Yi Zhuyue. Before he had taken two steps, Yi Zhuyue pierced him through with a single sword strike.

"So what if you burn your essence blood? That is merely the threshold to seeing this Venerable One. You are not worthy of killing this Venerable One."

Yi Zhuyue looked at the bloodstains on her sword with disgust, carefully wiped the blood off with a handkerchief, and then tossed the handkerchief onto the ground.

Everything happened too fast; Lin Zhengnan hadn't even had time to pin his hopes on the two Elders before they were already dead.

At this moment, he realized with absolute clarity the gap between himself and Su Chen's group.

Before him, there was only one path: obedience.

Thinking of this, a fawning smile immediately appeared on Lin Zhengnan's face. He knelt directly on the ground and said to Su Chen, "Young Master, everything I said is true. The place where the treasures are hidden only allows two people to enter at a time, otherwise I wouldn't have disregarded my own life just now."

Hearing this, Su Chen raised an eyebrow, not knowing how much he believed, and simply asked, "Is everything you said true?"

"Absolutely true, absolutely true, how would I dare to lie to you."

Lin Zhengnan dared not look at Su Chen's expression, biting his teeth tightly to avoid revealing any flaws.

Now he could only gamble. If he didn't gamble now and just led Su Chen to the Treasury, he would truly have no value left, and then whether he lived or died would be up to Su Chen.

"Moreover, the location of that Treasury can only be opened by the blood of the Lin Family. If you kill me, you will never find the location of the Treasury," Lin Zhengnan said slowly.

This was now one of his trump cards. A large reason why he could negotiate with Su Chen without any worries was because the Lin Family Treasury could only be opened by the Lin Family.

Hearing this, Su Chen thought that he indeed could not kill Lin Zhengnan directly.

After all, with his ability, he could indeed find the location of the Lin Family Treasury directly, and even if there were seals on it, breaking them would not be difficult.

But if it could be obtained simply and directly, why go through all that trouble?

Thinking of this, Su Chen nodded and said, "Since that is the case, then lead the way."

Hearing this, Lin Zhengnan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although he had said that just now, he actually had no certainty in his heart.

"Master, I feel like this is a trap."

Lv Luo was worried and couldn't help but whisper a reminder to Su Chen.

Su Chen was not afraid; he also wanted to see what kind of tricks Lin Zhengnan could pull when death was imminent.

Thinking of this, Su Chen smiled slightly and then said, "It's fine, I'll be back shortly. As for what you should do, you should know, right?"

"Huh?" Lv Luo was a bit confused for a moment.

Su Chen blinked his eyes again.

Lv Luo subconsciously wanted to ask more, but Luo Shen grabbed her hand.

Luo Shen also blinked and told Lv Luo via sound transmission.

Lv Luo suddenly realized.

The interaction between them did not avoid Lin Zhengnan at all. Lin Zhengnan didn't know what medicine they were selling in their gourd, but in the current situation, there was no time for him to think about so much.

The top priority was to quickly find a way to save his own life.

He was incredibly thankful that he had only brought four Elders here, while other Elders were stationed inside, and the other disciples had not been threatened.

"Young Master, follow me."

Lin Zhengnan looked at Su Chen, his eyes involuntarily filled with a bit of fanaticism.

Su Chen nodded with a smile and followed Lin Zhengnan inside.

"I feel like this Lin Zhengnan is clearly up to no good. I really wanted to burn him to death with a mouthful of flame just now; he actually wanted to harm my master."

Once they had completely disappeared, Xiaoxian said indignantly. Although she was now in human form, one could still faintly see the shadow of a Dragon.

Luo Shen couldn't help but chuckle, tapped Xiaoxian's little head, and said, "If we killed that man, wouldn't it take a lot of time to find it again? Having a free guide, isn't that saving trouble?"

Xiaoxian thought about it, and it was indeed the case.

"Then what should we do now? Just wait here? What if something happens to Master?"
