Chapter 406: It’s Quite Exciting

“This time, everyone here must have been drawn by the intense aura of these treasures. However, everyone should think carefully—why would these treasures be piled up here with no one from the Qiankun Sect around? There must be something suspicious going on,” murmured the Queen of Heaven, puzzled and sensing an invisible conspiracy.

She believed it necessary to make the sect leaders aware of this.

Upon hearing her words, the excitement on the sect leaders’ faces faded somewhat.

Yet, with the treasures right in front of them, so close they could almost touch them, how could they possibly leave empty-handed?

Moreover, all the sects were present here—who would dare to oppose them?

“Queen of Heaven, I think you’re just being overly anxious,” said the old woman from the Azure Sea Sect. “All the sect leaders are here. Who would dare to cause trouble?”

She was secretly envious of the Queen’s unmatched beauty. How unfair it was that someone could be both powerful and so stunningly beautiful.

“These treasures are right before our eyes. Surely we aren’t going to leave them behind?” said the leader of the Wind Sword Sect.

“Hehe… If you’re scared, Queen of Heaven, you can leave first. We’ll just divide up the treasures ourselves,” cackled the Patriarch of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect sinisterly.

A ruthless man by nature, he would never leave treasures behind if they were within reach. His nature was to snatch anything valuable he saw.

“As for the people from the Qiankun Sect, they’ve probably already taken a large portion of the treasures and left. These here are just leftovers. After we divide them, we can go find that old bastard Qiankunzi and make him cough up the rest,” added the leader of the Hunyuan Sect.

The Queen of Heaven frowned, sensing that these people had lost their sense of reason in the face of such great treasures.

“Queen of Heaven, are you trying to scare us away so you can take everything for yourself?” finally spoke the Yan Emperor, who had been silent until now.

Once the mighty Yan Emperor had been under the rule of the Holy Demon Sect, but now, having perfected his martial arts and possessing formidable power, he would no longer tolerate being oppressed by these so-called great sects.

“Some of these treasures are things even the sect leaders might not possess. Others are completely unknown to us. If we can obtain them, our cultivation might advance significantly,” Yan Emperor said, staring at the Queen. With the treasures right before them, there was no way they would give them up.

“Emperor Yan is right. Everyone, take a look—what treasures are these?”

Upon hearing this, everyone greedily stared at the pile of treasures, their auras radiating into the heavens. Even though they had seen many rare items before, some of these treasures were completely unfamiliar.

“That’s a Starstone—rumored to have great magical uses.”

“That’s the Yin Ice Spirit Grass—said to bring the dead back to life.”

“Look at those chains—could they be the Chains of Rules?”

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their heads in unison, shocked.

“There are sixty Chains of Rules here!”

“Although the Chains of Rules cannot be refined, if offered in sacrifice, they have countless uses—perhaps even more valuable than these treasures.”

The Queen of Heaven looked at the sect leaders, sighed inwardly, and scanned the surroundings, finding nothing unusual.

“Hey, what’s that chicken doing there?” Suddenly, the Queen noticed something odd.

Standing far away, the little chicken blinked its big, innocent eyes, puzzled about what these people were doing.

Hadn’t the big brother said there would be an exciting show? Yet these people were just standing there talking, not doing anything else. How boring.

The chicken stood there, slightly bored, stretching its claws as if exercising.

“Are they going to fight or not? If not, this chicken is going to sleep. This is so dull,” said the little chicken, noticing a beautiful woman looking at it. It stared back cutely.

But after a while, it grew bored and squatted down, wrapping its wings around itself, tucking its head in for a nap. It would wait until the fight started to wake up.

The Queen found the chicken strange, but couldn’t pinpoint exactly why.

At that moment, she saw the Yan Emperor suddenly step forward toward the treasures.

“If none of you are going to take them, then I shall take them first,” said Yan Emperor, glancing at the others before stepping forward alone.

With such tempting treasures right there, how could anyone resist? It was ridiculous to be so cautious.

The other sect leaders watched him, as if waiting for something.

Yan Emperor’s eyes gleamed with excitement as he approached the pile of treasures, slowly stretching out his hand. He was ready—if anything unexpected happened, he would retreat immediately.

Carefully, he inhaled deeply and reached out. The moment his hand touched the treasures, a surge of joy filled his heart.

“It’s safe…”

Seeing this, the sect leaders around him burst into laughter. “See? It’s safe. Yan Emperor, take your time. We’ll divide them together.”

At this moment, Yan Emperor looked at the treasures, his greed fully exposed. “Divide them? You must be dreaming.”

In an instant, he flicked his sleeve, and all the treasures were sucked into his storage ring. His figure flickered as he tried to tear through space and escape.

“Yan Emperor, you bastard…” Seeing Yan Emperor take everything and try to escape, the sect leaders exploded in anger.

For Yan Emperor, with these treasures, he could find a hidden place to cultivate. When he emerged again, who would be his match?

The Queen of Heaven watched this unfold, her heart trembling. She hadn’t expected everything to actually be safe.

“Hahaha…” Yan Emperor laughed, as if this was the most exciting moment in years.

But his laughter hadn’t lasted long when he noticed something terrifying.

The space around him seemed to be sealed off—he couldn’t escape.

A chill ran down his spine as a bad omen struck him.

When he saw the sect leaders glaring at him furiously, he felt a surge of inner turmoil.

Lin Fan silently watched the scene unfold, resting his chin on one hand, as if watching a play.

This entire world had already been sealed by Lin Fan—no one could leave.

Even the three hidden within the void could not escape.

“Yan Emperor, are you trying to die?” the crowd roared.

“Hand over the treasures, or face the consequences!”

Yan Emperor glared coldly at them. “Hmph! You want me to give up the treasures? Let’s see if you have the strength to take them!”

In an instant, a fierce battle erupted.

The Queen of Heaven frowned, sensing an ominous feeling—as if someone was manipulating everything behind the scenes.

Hidden within the void, Han Lu and Fang Han were silently waiting.

They were also envious of these treasures. Now that the sect leaders were battling Yan Emperor, it worked perfectly in their favor.

They would wait for the right moment to strike.

As Yan Emperor was surrounded and attacked by the eight sect leaders, his injuries worsened. With a roar, he tore off his storage ring and flung it far away. “Want it? Go find it yourselves!”

“Opportunity!”

From the void, the three hidden figures’ faces lit up with joy. Without hesitation, they emerged from the void and rushed toward the storage ring.

“Damn it! Don’t touch that ring!” Seeing someone daring to reach for the treasures, the eight sect leaders roared furiously and charged toward the void.

Han Lu and Fang Han exchanged glances, their eyes flashing with surprise.

The third figure also made them frown—who was this person?

“Boom!”

Just as the three reached for the storage ring, it was suddenly enveloped in a powerful force that hurled all three of them away.

As if pulled by an invisible force, the storage ring flew toward the throne on the martial arts arena.

“Clap… clap…”

A round of applause echoed throughout the heavens.

“Bravo! Truly worthy of great sects.”

At this moment, Lin Fan stepped out from the shadows.

Everyone turned toward the figure on the throne, shocked.

Who was this person? No one knew.
