Chapter 1425: Chapter 570: Slaying a Powerful Enemy, Pressing for Secrets [Requesting Subscription]_4

“What does Taoist Friend Yan mean by this? That damaged peerless dharma treasure was something I bought from a Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator who didn’t recognize its value.”

Guo Kaitai’s expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly explained, addressing Zhou Chun’s question.

“Is that so? What a pity!”

Zhou Chun sighed with regret, then said coldly, “If Taoist Friend Guo truly cannot offer anything more that could impress me, then I’m afraid I’ll have to apologize!”

After saying this, a silver-black long sword appeared in his hand—the middle-grade magical treasure “Taibai Slice Flood Dragon Sword”!

Seeing this, Guo Kaitai immediately felt his eyelids twitch and quickly called out, “Taoist Friend Yan, please wait, let me think again, think of more ways!”

Unexpectedly, Zhou Chun shook his head slightly and said, “There’s no need! Instead of causing the Guo Family to bankrupt themselves and ruin their homes and lives to redeem you, it would be better for you to sacrifice yourself for the greater good of your family!”

“No! Don’t act! I remember now, I do indeed know of a clue to a Secret Realm left by a Nascent Soul Stage True Person, and I’m willing to trade this clue for my life!”

Guo Kaitai shouted repeatedly in panic, finally unable to resist the intimidation and revealing his deepest secret.

Upon hearing his words, Zhou Chun immediately put away the flying sword, then spread his hands and said, “See, if you had said this earlier, there wouldn’t have been so much trouble, right?”

Upon hearing this, Guo Kaitai felt an unspeakable bitterness in his heart and could only nod repeatedly with a flattering expression, saying, “Yes, yes, Taoist Friend Yan is absolutely right. It’s Guo’s greed and all the fault is mine!”

“Then be honest and confess!”

Zhou Chun said indifferently, then added with a smile that was not quite a smile, “But let me remind you, if you lie or deceive, it could cost you your life, so consider your words carefully!”

This face-to-face intimidation made Guo Kaitai’s eye twitch again, and he couldn’t help but feel his heart leap into his throat.

Then, after furrowing his brows and pondering for a while, he finally began to share the information he knew.

He hadn’t completely lied earlier; that damaged peerless dharma treasure was indeed purchased from a Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator.

However, like Zhou Chun, he didn’t believe such a treasure could be casually picked up.

Therefore, after acquiring the item, Guo Kaitai secretly captured the loose cultivator and, through interrogation and soul-searching, learned about the other’s experience in acquiring the damaged peerless dharma treasure.

Based on the interrogation and soul-searching, the loose cultivator had found the damaged peerless dharma treasure in an ancient battlefield in Di Country. This ancient battlefield resulted from a great war over three thousand years ago, and it’s said that Nascent Soul Stage cultivators fell there, not just one.

However, under normal circumstances, even if Nascent Soul Stage cultivators fell there, treasures like a damaged peerless dharma treasure would typically be retrieved by other Nascent Soul Stage cultivators who cleaned up the battlefield afterward, making it unlikely to be overlooked.

Guo Kaitai found this suspicious and thus began an exhaustive investigation. After much painstaking investigation, he discovered that this so-called ancient battlefield could be traced back to an even earlier, earth-shattering battle ten thousand years ago!

The damaged peerless dharma treasure obtained by the Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator might not belong to the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators who perished over three thousand years ago, but rather to a more ancient strongman.

After learning this, Guo Kaitai continued to focus his efforts on investigating the surroundings where the damaged peerless dharma treasure appeared.

Finally, his efforts paid off, and he successfully discovered a hidden Array Secret Realm nearby.

Unfortunately, although the formation in that Array Secret Realm had weakened due to the passage of time, making it less powerful, it was still beyond Guo Kaitai’s ability to enter.

After one adventurous attempt that left him severely injured, he could only put his plans on hold, intending to try again when he became stronger.

The reason he agreed to join Lin Canghai in ambushing Zhou Chun and his wife this time was that he coveted the newly acquired lower-grade defensive dharma treasure, “Mountain Shield,” that Zhou Chun had exchanged for.

If he could acquire this fine defensive dharma treasure that matched his attributes well, Guo Kaitai dared to venture into that Array Secret Realm once more.

However, he never expected that his momentary greed would not only leave him without the treasure but also nearly cost him his life, and now even his savings and deepest secrets were exposed to others!
