Chapter 338: Tell Me What Benefits You Can Give This Young Master

"We certainly can't just sit here and wait for death; didn't the director just give us a hint?"

Lv Luo said hurriedly, though he hadn't known at first either, only learning of it through Luo Shen's reminder.

"Huh?"

Xiaoxian didn't know about all those twists and turns, and when Lv Luo said that, she didn't react right away.

"We naturally have to help the Young Master resolve these lingering concerns. You must know that none of the remaining remnants of the Lin Family are good people; they are all a bunch of unpardonable villains. We naturally have to act on behalf of heaven."

Lv Luo gave a sly grin, his gaze drifting involuntarily toward the distance, his eyes already carrying a hint of malice.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxian instantly understood what was going on. Ever since they entered Zhongzhou City, they had already inquired about the Lin Family's deeds.

As a Spirit Beast, she found it extremely despicable; relying on their status, they were proficient in burning, killing, and looting. People like this were simply a waste of resources while alive in this world.

Thinking of this, Xiaoxian was instantly full of drive.

"Not only that, we must also scrape clean all those treasures. They weren't theirs to begin with, so we are just acting on behalf of heaven!"

Xiaoxian said with an excited look on her face.

No sooner said than done, the few of them instantly began to act.

Meanwhile, Su Chen followed Lin Zhengnan, twisting and turning for a long time before finally arriving in front of a door.

Su Chen looked left and right; the surrounding scenery was completely different from other places, and a normal person would overlook this place at a glance.

If he had been looking for it himself, he likely would have had to expend a great deal of effort.

Who would have thought this old thing was so good at hiding things.

But after waiting for a long time, Lin Zhengnan made no further move.

"Why have you stopped?"

Su Chen couldn't help but ask.

Lin Zhengnan kept his head lowered, his hair covering his sinister expression, and said softly, "Right away, right away."

As soon as the words fell, he turned his head abruptly, his fist wrapped in Spiritual Power, and smashed it heavily toward Su Chen's head.

Su Chen had long known that Lin Zhengnan wouldn't be so obedient, and he had been prepared.

The moment Lin Zhengnan struck, he quickly dodged to the side, immediately following up by summoning the Blue Quenching Spirit Fire.

The Blue Quenching Spirit Fire caught onto the corner of Lin Zhengnan's clothes and began to burn fiercely with lightning speed. The temperature of that flame could instantly roast a person, and even the reinforcement of various Spirit Tools was useless; it could even burn a person's soul to nothingness.

The expression on Lin Zhengnan's face froze, and he began to scream in agony, clawing at his face and ears in heartbreak, rolling on the ground incessantly.

But how could the Spirit Fire be easily extinguished? A burnt smell of roasted meat even wafted through the air.

With no other options, Lin Zhengnan could only endure the pain and kneel before Su Chen, gasping for air, and said intermittently, "Please, spare... me. This door... only I can open it."

Su Chen watched the miserable state of the person before him with great interest; he clearly remembered that this person had wanted to put him to death just a moment ago.

"Tell me, what benefits can you give this Young Master?"

Su Chen smiled nonchalantly, letting the person before him become a human torch, the flames almost completely engulfing him.

"This is my Lin Family's Secret Treasure."

Lin Zhengnan felt a deep tremor from the depths of his soul due to the pain; he did not doubt for a second that if he hesitated any longer, the person before him could burn him alive.

In his desperation, he immediately revealed his trump card. Hearing this, Su Chen looked at the item Lin Zhengnan handed over with great interest.

Although his own Spirit Fire was sufficiently fierce and overbearing, the Secret Treasure remained completely undamaged under these flames; it looked like a good item.

Thinking of this, Su Chen lazily yawned, and only then did he slowly retract the Spirit Fire.

At this moment, Lin Zhengnan was burnt pitch-black all over, his exposed skin covered in large patches of burns, and even his clothes were burnt beyond recognition.

"I advise you to be honest and obedient. Dealing with a Quasi-Emperor Peak guy like you is still easy for me."

Su Chen looked down at Lin Zhengnan from above, stepped on his head, and ground his foot down hard a few times.

Lin Zhengnan was in too much pain to speak, cold sweat pouring from his forehead, his body pressed against the ground, the gravel causing him sharp pain, and there wasn't a single patch of intact skin left on him.

But at this moment, he could only swallow his bitterness. Had he known, he would have picked a weaker one. Who could have imagined that Su Chen was only at the Rugged Great Sage Realm, yet his strength was so terrifying? He regretted it to his very core.

"Why are you still lying there? Do you want this Young Master to step on you that much? Hurry up and open the door."

Su Chen gave a disdainful cold snort.

Lin Zhengnan's unwilling expression naturally did not escape his sharp eyes, but considering the person before him was still useful, he could tolerate it for the time being.

Hearing this, Lin Zhengnan dared not delay, scrambling up from the ground and trembling as he arrived before the Treasury.

"Inside here are all the Secret Treasures of our Lin Family; ordinary people wouldn't even have the chance to enter."

Lin Zhengnan looked heartbroken, his face charred and bald, looking exceptionally comical.

Su Chen curled his lips, not bothering to pay attention to Lin Zhengnan.

"My Lin Family is willing to submit to you. I wonder if the Young Master could spare our Lin Family a path to survival?"

At the critical moment, Lin Zhengnan suddenly stopped his movements, looking at Su Chen with a fawning expression, his eyes filled with obvious hope.

"So much nonsense. Did you not get roasted enough just now?"

Su Chen was already on the verge of impatience. "If you keep stalling like this, I can't guarantee I'll have the patience to let you keep living."

Hearing this, the fawning smile on Lin Zhengnan's face stiffened.

"It's just a Treasury. To this Young Master, although it's a bit troublesome, it's not something I can't unlock."

Su Chen gave a contemptuous smile, his eyes filled with utter mockery as he looked at Lin Zhengnan.

The implication was clear: the capital you are using to negotiate is useless to me. I'm in a better mood now, so I'll let you show your worth; if I were in a bad mood, you wouldn't even have the chance to live.

Lin Zhengnan's complexion darkened instantly, but he had nothing to say at this moment; he could only force a smile and nod and bow in agreement.

If it were before, he would have scoffed at Su Chen's words, thinking this arrogant brat didn't know his own weight.

But now, he did not doubt the truth of Su Chen's words in the slightest.

Thinking of this, his hands shook, and his movements became more nimble as he directly opened the gates of the Treasury.

What met his eyes was a mountain piled with Spirit Stones, countless Spirit Tools hanging quietly on the walls, and as one walked further in, the items became increasingly precious, with Top-grade Spirit Herbs, hard to come by outside, also perfectly preserved within.

Su Chen nodded in satisfaction; these items would still have some use later on, so it was worth the patience he had just shown waiting for so long, and it wasn't a loss.

To say it like that was truly a waste of heaven's gifts, for one had to know that any single item among these, if placed outside, would incite a scramble among the masses.
