In fact, Zhou Chen could also guess that the traitor of the Demon Cauldron Sect should be the flower-stealing and lewd cultivator he met in the capital.
But aren't the actions of the flower-stealing cultivator very consistent with the style of the Demon Sect?
Lan Kun explained, "Although my Demon Cauldron Sect isn't righteous, we would never do such evil things as extracting essence from people to death."
Hearing this, Zhou Chen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Lan Kun was not the evil cultivator who had committed all sorts of evil deeds.
He asked again, "When I was in the capital, I heard that a rapist was killed. Could it be that traitor from your Demon Cauldron Sect?"
Lan Kun nodded. "It was him. It was said that he was almost at the foundation-building stage, but luckily he was killed."
After hearing this answer, Zhou Chen was completely relieved.
As long as the strong men from the Demon Cauldron Sect don’t hunt me down, it will be fine.
Not long.
"Disciple."
A call rang in the ears of the three people.
"A powerful person who has reached the great perfection of foundation building!" Upon hearing this voice, Zhou Chen immediately became alert. His soul activated the spiritual sword in the storage bag and asked the soul-devouring mother insect to prepare for the attack.
In front, a woman in a pink dress came flying with a sword.
The woman had a charming and beautiful face, and a caring expression on her face.
"Master!" Lan Kun smiled.
The woman held Lan Kun in her arms, her face full of doting.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" the woman asked with concern.
Lan Kun shook his head. "I'm fine. I just had some minor injuries, but I've recovered now. It's all thanks to my two friends. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for me to escape from the powerful men of the Yanhuang Guardian Bureau."
The woman bowed slightly to Zhou Chen and Changsun Baihe: "Thank you both for saving me. I'll give you a small gift to express my gratitude." As she spoke, she took out two jade boxes containing elixirs from her storage ring.
As the Grand Elder of a dual cultivation sect, even if he tried to suppress it, it was difficult to conceal his astonishing charm.
Especially since Changsun Baihe was not a man who was not interested in women, he was stunned for a moment.
When I came to my senses, my face was red with embarrassment.
"Sorry, senior, I'm rude." Changsun Baihe clasped his fists towards the woman.
Compared to the stunned Changsun Baihe, Zhou Chen was much calmer.
Zhou Chen noticed that the relationship between Lan Kun and the woman seemed to have surpassed that of a master and disciple, and was a little too intimate.
But it's normal when you think about it. After all, it's a dual cultivation sect, so it seems normal for something to happen between the master and the disciple.
Zhou Chen thought with evil humor.
The woman also noticed Zhou Chen. Seeing that he was calm and composed in front of her, not affected by his charm, she couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
"Junior Zhou Mu, nice to meet you, senior." Zhou Chen made up a name for himself.
Lan Kun smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, don't be so reserved. My master is kind and easy to talk to."
The woman also introduced herself: "My name is Qing'e, and I am Lan Kun's master. It is not advisable to stay here for long. You may encounter masters from the Yanhuang Guardian Bureau. Follow me to another area."
Qing'e pinched her sword fingers, silently chanted the magic formula, and the flying sword under her feet expanded.
Zhou Chen and Changsun Baihe jumped onto the enlarged flying sword together. The big blue bird was redrawn into a talisman, which was put into Changsun Baihe's storage ring so that he could use it next time.
Then, Qing'e controlled the flying sword, turned into a sword light, and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
On the flying sword.
Zhou Chen asked about the treasure: "Senior Qing'e, now that the treasure has been revealed, is there no powerful person who is good at hiding and steals it?"
Qing'e shook her head. "The treasure's situation is very special. It's in the deepest part of Shennongjia, standing on an extremely ancient altar. It's a large three-legged cauldron."
"It seems that there are special rules guarding the surrounding area. Certain conditions must be met before the power of the rules guarding the treasure can dissipate."
After hearing this, Zhou Chen had a guess in his mind.
He asked tentatively, "Does it require the fulfillment of the sacrificial requirements?"
Qing'e nodded slightly and glanced at Zhou Chen approvingly: "Not bad. I know a thing or two about the writings of that ancient golden age of cultivation. It seems that a blood sacrifice is needed to dissipate the power of those rules, so that the treasure can truly be revealed!"
"Of course, this is just my guess. The text on the altar is incomplete. The specific situation still depends on the Yanhuang Guardian Bureau."
Zhou Chen seemed to be lost in thought.
After a moment, he asked again, "I heard from Brother Lan earlier that you think that cauldron is a treasure of the spatial system, containing a world within it?"
Qing'e hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's hard to say. I once saw a picture of a tripod in an ancient book that was somewhat similar to that treasure."
"What tripod?"
Qing'e slowly spoke: "Shennong Ding!"
Zhou Chen was shocked.
Shennong Ding!
This is a chaos-level artifact that surpasses the innate treasure!
"No...that's impossible?" Zhou Chen's voice trembled.
Possessing the inheritance of ancient Qi-refining masters, Zhou Chen knows better than Qing'e the power of creation contained in the Shennong Ding!
Even the best magic weapon of the skeleton in the insect nest when he was alive was just an acquired treasure.
A Chaos-level treasure!
What a distant concept.
Qing'e didn't give a clear answer: "In short, it is extremely extraordinary, definitely beyond the scope of immortal artifacts."
"Okay, here we are."
The speed of the flying sword gradually slowed down.
Zhou Chen looked forward, his eyes fixed involuntarily.
After reaching the deepest part of Shennongjia, looking down from above, you can see at a glance the difference between this ancient forest and other places.
Tall ancient trees rising into the sky, the deafening roars of monsters, and the lingering thick demonic aura.
"Tai Shang!"
A handsome man came to Qing'e on a sword and saluted her, with admiration in his eyes.
