Shadow Devil Spiritual Lamp

Chen Linjian and bunch reached the military ground. This was a flat military ground, which usually made it uneasy for it to be noticeable.

"Dig three feet down!"

Chen Linjian's men began retrieving their tools and started digging.

--- Underground Palace ---

"Nie Li, where's the exit?" Ye Ziyun asked. They had been searching around for two days, but had yet to find where the exit was.

"There is no exit," Nie Li shook his head saying, "If there was an exit, those people would not have been trapped to death in the main hall."

"No exit?" Ye Ziyun was stunned for a moment, and sadly asked, "Then, we won't be able to get out?"

"Not necessary. Those people from the hall came from outside, which means that the people from outside can dig an exit out. We can only hope that Chen Linjian will be able to help us dig an exit out. If I'm correct, the exit should be at the military ground area," Nie Li lightly smiled and said, "They will definitely find the place!"

"How can you be so sure that he will definitely find the place?" Ye Ziyun asked back. Nie Li seemed to be extremely confident, as though everything was in his grasp. He even stubbornly thought that Ye Ziyun would fall for him. If everything went as he expected, then wasn't he an almighty god?

Just when Ye Ziyun finished talking, the stone wall suddenly slightly trembled.

"It has begun!" Nie Li lightly smiled. He could determine the location of the exit based on the source of the tremor, he turned and said to Ye Ziyun, "Let's go!"

After speaking, Nie Li began to walk.

Ye Ziyun opened her mouth, not knowing how to react. Nie Li was simply a monster! How could he know everything? Would there be one day where she would really become his girlfriend? Ye Ziyun could not tell what she was currently feeling. Her cheeks slightly heated up and she lowered her head in silence.

Dong dong dong!

Chen Linjian and bunch's mining operation was rather huge!

"So the exit is there!" Nie Li said together with Ye Ziyun. Both of them went towards the direction of the source of the sound and finally stopped in front of a stone wall. They examined the wall for awhile. That stone wall should've been a hidden door. Earlier they had passed by here and did not realise anything.

Nie Li placed his hands onto the stone wall and slowly pushed outwards.

Rumble rumble rumble!

The stone wall slowly turned. A huge stone chamber appeared in front of Nie Li and Ye Ziyun.

Within the stone chamber was a staircase connecting upwards. However, the exit had been blocked by some huge stones, and behind it came a burst of tinkling sounds. There should've been someone trying to break open the entrance.

The things in the stone chamber left Nie Li and Ye Ziyun in a state of shock.

This place was filled with all sorts of Bronze and Silver rank armour. There were even a large amount of inscription scrolls, demon crystals, furs and horn-type materials. It was also full of precious metals and piles of gold coins, which were naturally the currencies of the Sacred Empire.

There were also many unknown valuables which should have been precious treasures of the Sacred Empire.

If someone obtained these treasures and brought them back to Glory City to sell them, they would definitely make a fortune out of it!

"Ziyun, go pick some stuff!" Nie Li looked at Ye Ziyun and said. The amount of treasures here was too much. Their interspatial rings could not contain all these things. And if they were to clear all the treasures here, it was inevitable that Chen Linjian and bunch would have some comments about it.

Nie Li wasn't greedy, he only intended to take the things that he wanted and leave the rest.

Nie Li's gaze fell onto a stone platform. At the top of the platform, a lamp was blinking with light, and the light was filled with mystery.

Upon seeing this lamp, Nie Li's face was filled with joy. It really was a Shadow Devil Spiritual Lamp!

Shadow Devil were an extremely rare and mysterious demon beast. It was said that when the Snow Wind Empire was already extinct, only seven Shadow Devil Demon Spirits were left and were made into seven lamps that were placed in a temple in the Divine Continent. Later, these lamps were stolen by thieves and were leaked throughout the world.

The reason why Nie Li cared about this Shadow Devil Spiritual Lamp was because he wanted the Shadow Devil Demon Spirit inside it!

After reaching Silver rank, Nie Li would be able to integrate with one Demon Spirit.

The Heavenly God cultivation technique allowed Nie Li to integrate with seven different Demon Spirits. Therefore, for the first spirit, Nie Li didn't want it to be some ordinary garbage Demon Spirit! However, if the spirit was too powerful, Nie Li wouldn't be able to integrate with it, hence the Shadow Devil Demon Spirit was the most suitable.

Although the Shadow Devil was not particularly strong in its fighting capability, it was the most mysterious one. It had many unique abilities, therefore, after integrating with it, even if Nie Li reached the pinnacle of cultivation, the Shadow Devil Demon Spirit could still play a powerful role.

With the Shadow Devil Demon Spirit, Nie Li would be able to learn some special martial arts!

In his previous life, the Shadow Devil Spiritual Lamp had ended up in Shen Yue's hands and has been sold in an auction by Shen Yue. In this life, it was taken by Nie Li.

Nie Li kept the lamp, putting it into his interspatial ring. He turned his head and saw Ye Ziyun choosing several items. With the abstruse gemstone, she was not interested in any other gem related items. She only chose some demon crystals and a demon tooth anklet.

Ye Ziyun had good eyes. The few demon crystals she took were the crystals of Black Gold ranked demon beasts. Black Gold ranked demon beast were extremely rare. If those demon crystals were made into battle weapons or armour, there were chances of them ending up as Black Gold rank weapons and armour.

As for that bone tooth anklet, it was the bone fragments of the Legend rank Snow Wind Giant Beast. Even though it was only bone fragments, it was also extremely rare and could greatly enhance the force of a Demon Spirit.

After picking the items, *boom* the huge stone wall next to the huge boulder had opened an entrance. Dazzling light shot into the chamber, Chen Linjian and bunch soon filled the place.

"It's you guys!" Chen Linjian said, stunned for a moment when he saw Ye Ziyun and Nie Li. He had never imagined that Ye Ziyun and Nie Li would be the first things they came upon after entering.

After seeing Ye Ziyun, Chen Linjian became relieved. If anything were to happened to Ye Ziyun, even if he had some gains here, he would still have to face the anger of the City Lord and Lord Ye Mo. Since Ye Ziyun was safe, everything was fine.

"Boss, we're going to be rich! There's so many treasures!"

Chen Linjian's underlings exclaimed. The treasure-filled chamber caused them to be dazed.

Chu Yuan and bunch also came in and were also stunned by the scene in front of them. The stuff here was piled as high as a small mountain. A lot of the stuff here was also extremely valuable. They could get tens of millions or even billions for it.

"Nie Li, as according to our agreement, you'll take the first pick!" Chen Linjian looked at Nie Li and said. He was someone who upheld his promises, furthermore, he valued the friendship between him and Nie Li.

"I have already chosen, the rest is yours!" Nie Li lightly smiled and said. Those mountains of piled treasures seemed to have no temptation to him.

"I have also taken some stuff." Ye Ziyun said, "I also do not need the rest!"

Chen Linjian slightly nodded and ordered his men to fill their interspatial ring with the treasures.

Chu Yuan walked Chen Linjian's side, lowered his voice and said, "Young Master Chen, are you willing? The two of them have been here for so long, they definitely took a lot of good stuff! They probably took the most valuable stuff, hence they don't care about any of this stuff!"

"What are you implying?" Chen Linjian frowned his brows, staring at Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan coldly said, "You have to call them to take everything out before leaving, the most valuable stuff was probably taken by them!"

Hearing Chu Yuan's words, Chen Linjian snorted and said, "They were here first before us, and found this place first. Even if they were to empty the whole chamber, we have nothing to say. Them leaving so much stuff for us is already as generous as they could be!"

"Young Master Chen, I guarantee that the stuff they have, every single piece of it is priceless treasures! Don't regret it." Chu Yuan agitatedly said.

"Get lost. Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking. You have conflict with Nie Li and want to use me as proxy. Fat chance!" Chen Linjian raised his foot and kicked Chu Yuan's chin, kicking him and making him fly out.

*Peng* Chu Yuan fell face first and one of his teeth was knocked out, filling the insides of his mouth with blood.

Chu Yuan furiously raised his head and glared at Chen Linjian, but soon retracted his anger. Chen Linjian was a member of a Major family, a direct descendant of the Divine Family. How could he be rampant towards Chen Linjian?

'Nie Li, it's all your fault! I'm not letting you go so easily!'

Chen Linjian emptied the treasure room. Although Nie Li had taken the Shadow Devil Spiritual Lamp, and Ye Ziyun had also taken some stuff, there was still quite a lot of valuable stuff left in there and it could be sold for quite a sum. Therefore, Chen Linjian's harvest was still very good.

Chen Linjian patted on Nie Li's shoulder and said, "Brother, if it wasn't for you guiding me to this military ground, I wouldn't be able to gain so much stuff. This round, I, Chen Linjian owe you one. If there is anything in the future, just find me directly!"

Chen Linjian never asked anything about what Nie Li took, but only thanked him. This made Nie Li have a good impression of him in his heart. No wonder Chen Linjian had managed to become the most outstanding person among the peers of the three Major families.

"Okay!" Nie Li also replied straightforwardly, "You guys have to hurry and take the stuff, we have to quickly leave!"

"Why?" Chen Linjian curiously asked.

"I ran into some people from the Dark Guild. They are currently looking for us!" Nie Li said, "Luckily that Spiritual grade Giant Blue Armed Ape blocked them, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to escape!"

Hearing Nie Li's words, Chen Linjian was slightly surprised. He knew what sort of people the Dark Guild had. If they were to be found out by the Dark Guild, then it would be troublesome.

"No wonder we found that Giant Blue Armed Ape injured, so that's the case!" Chen Linjian's underling said.

Fortunately that area of the Ancient Orchid City Ruins was rather large. Those people from the Dark Guild didn't know of their whereabouts. They were probably looking around for them, which meant they had to leave immediately.

Chen Linjian took a glance towards the underground palace's direction.

"There isn't anything there, I have already explored it." Nie Li said.

Chen Linjian nodded, turned his head facing the crowd and shouted, "Let's go!"
