Chapter 98: Golden Cicada

Chapter 98: The Scapegoat, Golden Cicada

"You… beast!" The Xuantian Sect Elder roared, runes enveloping him and the treasured artifact in his hand as he departed.

Clearly, this person was extremely unwilling; the things here concerned the rise and fall of their sect, and now that they had been discovered, an accident was likely.

"Oh no, my Four Symbols Divine Bow!"

Lin Fan reached out, trying to keep the treasured bow, but unfortunately, the jade talisman was spiritual and carried the person away at high speed, making it impossible to intercept.

However, this bow was definitely a great killing weapon; although it was only a replica, it was still a terrifying treasured artifact.

If not for Lin Fan's miraculous Unique Cave Heaven, which could weaken attacks and erode various runes, and the fact that he also had a Supreme treasure for defense, the situation would have been dire after four arrows.

At the same time, his spiritual body also made a move, generating nine leaves outside his body, which spun violently, unleashing tens of thousands of Sword Qi with astonishing Killing Intent.

"Boom!"

In an instant, everyone was terrified; the Sword Intent was too vast, boundless and mighty, and two heads were severed on the spot, blood splattering.

Especially the remaining two from the Xuantian Sect, they were dumbfounded; in just a few breaths, four fellow disciples had died, which was too terrifying and sent shivers down their spines.

At this moment, Lin Fan pressed forward again, swift as lightning, launching a decisive attack on the remaining individuals, a punch illuminating the sky.

At this moment, he was like a Heavenly God, striking with great power; with every punch, Divine Power surged, and blood Qi roared, continuously forcing people to retreat.

"Ah…"

The two cried out in agony; even with secret treasures protecting them, their fate was unchangeable, defeat was inevitable.

After enduring a few more strikes, one person exploded, and the other was enveloped by runes and vanished.

Suddenly, the valley became quiet, the battle ended, all within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea; it wasn't even considered an intense battle, Lin Fan had completely suppressed them throughout.

At the exit of the Butian Secret Realm, the altar glowed.

The Xuantian Sect Elder appeared, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood, filled with immense resentment, his face alternating between green and pale, unable to help but roar, "That damned little bald donkey!"

Hearing these words, the crowd outside was immediately stunned; how did this get tied to the bald monks of the Western Sect again? Was it possible that they had been eliminated by him again?

"What opponent did you encounter? What happened?"

At this moment, an old man materialized in the Void Realm, his tone displeased, frowning slightly; he was precisely the Xuantian Sect Leader.

Clearly, he was very concerned about the matters within the Secret Realm, having planned for a long time, always wanting to obtain a great Spell from within, not wanting any unexpected complications.

The Xuantian Sect Elder straightened up, his expression tense, and he said cryptically, "Sect Leader, it's not good, we were attacked by the Western Sect's first generation, and the location of the valley was exposed at the same time."

Although the man's voice was low, everyone here was a master, and soon, his voice was amplified, causing a commotion.

"Golden Cicada of the Western Sect is indeed warlike!"

"What is he trying to do, monopolize all the Opportunities within the entire Small World?"

At this moment, the scene was in an uproar; first, he attacked the Golden Crow Teachings, and then the Xuantian Sect, and both were proactive attacks, holding nothing back.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see what Golden Cicada was planning: by attacking, he would seize the accumulated gains of others over many days, achieving his goal of quickly acquiring treasures.

Moreover, this person was incredibly shameless, burying his head in the sand, fabricating a nonexistent Elder brother to try and distance himself from the matter.

But everyone had to admit, Golden Cicada's move was indeed clever, saving time and effort, though it was prone to offending people and inciting public outrage.

On the altar, the Xuantian Sect Leader, upon hearing the news, fell silent, his face cold, revealing a faint Killing Intent; years of planning were finally going to be in vain, who wouldn't be angry in such a situation?

"Your sect has truly produced a fine seedling!"

The Western Sect Elder was embarrassed; having offended two major sects at once, things became very tricky, and he couldn't help but complain about the sect's Legacy holder, who was too unconstrained.

Now, with the Legacy not yet appearing, to strike such a ruthless blow, this was going to offend all the immortal Dao lineages!

At this moment, deep within the Secret Realm, Lin Fan and the others were inside the valley, rushing to enter the palace and seize the Opportunity.

"Little Yueyue, it's up to you now." Lin Fan smiled, calm and composed, his spiritual body transforming into a beam of light and flying into the Unique Cave Heaven.

Yue Chan walked over with lotus steps, her nimble large eyes rolling around as if looking at a monster; this was not an assistant at all, but clearly a wolf in sheep's clothing.

She had promised not to use offensive Spells, so what was the deal with the great Divine Ability used by that spiritual body?

She was full of questions, but there was no time to think much now, the Dao Opportunity was important.

From Yue Chan's qiankun bag at her waist flew out a divine rug, ancient and weathered, looking very ordinary, made from some unknown beast hide.

However, when the divine rug unfolded, runes flashed one after another, releasing wisps of Chaos Qi, instantly covering the large formation in front and paving a safe passage.

"What a treasure!" Lin Fan's eyes gleamed with desire; he could tell at a glance that this was a rare treasure.

If he had it, he could traverse various formations and ensure his own safety.

"This is the Sect Leader's treasure, so don't even think about it; I'm only borrowing it temporarily, and I have to return it after we leave." Yue Chan glared at him, indicating he shouldn't covet the treasure.

Because it was too precious, crafted from a Void Realm beast hide fused with various divine materials, it was a rare Supreme treasure within the Butian Sect.

Although the beast hide had no offensive power, it possessed the effects of traversing the Void Realm, crossing formations, and defense; even a Divine Fire expert would find it difficult to catch up, making it extremely rare.

Under normal circumstances, such a precious treasure would not be easily used; if it were lost, it would be too regrettable.

It was only due to entering the Butian Secret Realm, which was full of variables and dangers, that the sect specially bestowed it to protect herself.

Subsequently, several people stepped onto the beast hide, quickly passing through, as the suppression of the formation was temporary and could not last.

At the same time, thanks to the Xuantian Sect, they had broken about seventy to eighty percent of the large formation outside the palace, otherwise, they truly might not have been able to pass through the Restriction laid down by the Supreme.

Everything went smoothly, without any danger, and they arrived at the magnificent palace entrance.

With a "rumble," the golden gate was pushed open, revealing an empty hall.

"Great, we can finally explore the Legacy within the palace!"

Several Geniuses from the Butian Sect were shocked and cheered, their hearts exceptionally excited, all hoping to obtain the Supreme Legacy and then soar to great heights.

As a result, they were stunned; inside the entire golden palace, there was only a black stone coffin, and nothing else, no bone books or Legacy as they had imagined.

"This… is this a trick?"

"Didn't they say that the golden book page containing the remaining half of the Immortal Calamity Sword Technique was here?"

Everyone felt dizzy; truly, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

"Wait, perhaps the Legacy is in the coffin!" Feng Yu said.

Everyone's hearts were filled with trepidation, all staring at that extraordinary black stone coffin, seemingly anticipating something, a glimmer of light flickering in every pair of eyes.

"Slow down, be careful." Lin Fan reminded them, lest they fall into a trap here.

At this moment, the few exchanged glances and nodded, paving the way with the divine rug, slowly approaching the stone coffin.

However, as they drew closer, they actually felt a bone-chilling coldness, as if their Divine Soul was about to freeze at that moment.

Just as the few were puzzled, they suddenly thought of something and exclaimed, "That's… a coffin crafted from an entire block of Grand Yin Divine Stone!"
