Chapter 1282: Chapter 532: Delightful Harvest [Request Subscription]_3
Half a month passed quickly.
When half a month later it was evident that the Soul Tablet showed no changes, the old man once again sent a Communication Talisman to the Sect Leader, attaching the observation results of the past half month.
Afterwards, a Golden Core Stage Cultivator from the Ice Prison Sect left the mountain gate and traveled to Jingguo Country to investigate the situation.
At this time, Zhou Chun had already appeared in the secret library of Cheng Country.
Here, while waiting for Zhang Liangâs side to establish the Formation, he was also tallying the spoils of capturing the Ice Prison Sect assassin alive.
After capturing the opponent, Zhou Chun indeed coveted the uses of several magical artifacts possessed by the opponent, especially eyeing the Lifebound Flying Sword refined with Myriad Year Ice Crystal.
But precisely because that Flying Sword was the opponentâs Lifebound Flying Sword, once carried it might be found by high-ranking members of the Ice Prison Sect using secret techniques, Zhou Chun could only painfully seal it inside the Soul-Sealing Coffin.
The magical artifacts he truly kept in his hand were that white mirror and another white shield.
Although the white mirror was merely an inferior-grade magical treasure, the ice light divine skills it released were extremely formidable, and in terms of value, it surpassed the few inferior-grade magical treasures Zhou Chun had previously handled.
And the white shield magical artifact was even a mid-grade defensive magical treasure, but unfortunately, it was injured by the Talisman Treasure granted by Tianjing True Person and again during the previous battle, now its spiritual nature was greatly damaged, with signs of falling back to an inferior-grade magical treasure.
These two magical artifacts were not the assassinâs Lifebound Dharma Treasures, Zhou Chun only needed to erase the imprints and aura left by the opponent, then he didnât need to worry about being tracked through the aura.
But because they were stolen goods, to prevent future exposure attracting assassins from the Ice Prison Sect, he planned to exchange them in Great Zhou Kingdom later.
Thus, after appraising the two magical artifacts, Zhou Chun then took out and opened the assassinâs Storage Pouch.
As expected, there were not many good things inside the opponentâs Storage Pouch.
Being an assassin, always possibly dying during a mission, therefore, these Ice Prison Sect assassins, when going out for missions, couldnât possibly bring much stuff.
Inside, aside from a Spirit Crystal used to replenish and restore mana, some Healing Pills and talismans, there were no important items.
Zhou Chun did not find any evidence that could indict Green Lotus Temple, only found two pieces of intelligence information about himself and the Zhou Family, which seemed to be one provided by Green Lotus Temple, one collected by the Ice Prison Sect itself.
He didnât even find any token or anything related to the identity of the Ice Prison Sect!
However, to say there wasnât anything good on this person would be inaccurate, at least that set of white robes he wore was quite nice, being a hidden aura magic artifact.
Unfortunately, the style was too distinct, Zhou Chun didnât dare to keep it on himself and could only store it in the Soul-Sealing Coffin.
âItâs said that Ice Barbarian Country is rich in various icy spiritual objects, and many of the Demon Beasts there are ice, wind, and water attributes, perhaps there might be Demon Beasts with bloodlines of the Greater Yin Moon Toad appearing there?â
Zhou Chun looked at the few treasures obtained from the assassin in front of him, eyes flashing with insight, seemingly having an idea.
But soon he collected all the items, emptied his mind, and quietly meditated.
âClan Leader, the formation has been set up, now just according to the plan consume the spiritual energy here, and once the spiritual energy drops to a certain level, we can break the gate!â
At the bottom of the cliff, Zhang Liang quickly approached the meditating Zhou Chun, respectfully reporting his achievements.
Upon hearing his words, Zhou Chun immediately said, âSince itâs set up, then letâs begin!â
After speaking, he slapped the Spirit Beast Pouch at his waist, released the Golden Armor Turtle Bearer, the Golden Winged Tiger, and the Wood Charm Mu Sang, letting them begin to attack the formation here together, consuming the spirit veinâs spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy concentration of this spirit vein was similar to the Zhou Familyâs Jiufeng Ridge, with the attack intensity of the three Spirit Pets, a dayâs time would be enough to lower the spiritual energy here to the required level.
Though doing so makes a bit of noise, easy to attract the attention of other cultivators and demon beasts around.
But fortunately, Zhou Chun had already made arrangements in advance, as long as no Golden Core Stage Cultivators suddenly come, keeping the news from spreading for one or two days shouldnât be a problem.
A dayâs time passed quickly.
When Zhang Liang, who was observing the spiritual energy change on the mountain at all times, issued a reminder, Zhou Chun immediately made the three Spirit Pets stop their attacks.
Then he approached the stone gate made of âBlack Prison Stone,â and without a word, summoned the Moon Toad Pearl.
In terms of pure attack power, the Greater Yin Annihilation Divine Light was undoubtedly the strongest means Zhou Chun currently possessed.
Moreover, the divine skillâs freezing power might even have positive effects on the self-destruct enchantments inside.
Indeed, even the hard stone material like âBlack Prison Stone,â which Golden Core Stage Cultivators couldnât easily break, paled in comparison to the ultimate freezing power of the âGreater Yin Annihilation Divine Light.â
The white ice light fell upon the stone gate, and in just a short moment, the stone gate shattered.
Zhou Chun promptly activated the Taibai Slice Flood Dragon Sword, slicing the crumbled stone gate with one strike, causing it to break apart with a âboom.â
But simultaneously, the gateâs self-destruct enchantment was triggered by the heavy strike, and piercing firelight suddenly filled the stone chamber inside.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Chun couldnât afford to hesitate any longer and quickly rushed inside, salvaging the items from beneath the firelight.
As Zhou Chun expected, the interior of the stone chamber stored numerous paper and leather books, along with chests and jade boxes.
