[You eliminated an evil guy. You received 1000 merit points!]
Ding!
[Your current merit points are 242000. You still need another 58000 merit points to proceed to the next level! (Charm: 24200. Luck: 24200)]
A series of notifications showed up in Chen Xiaobei's Netherspirit Battlescouter once he hid inside a pile of jewelry.
"Huh? These should be the merit points earned from killing Sky Monkey and Mad Owl! I guess Jianghu elites such as them would invest most of their time in training to strengthen themselves and therefore wouldn't have enough time to do anything malicious. Perhaps that's why the merit points that I received are rather little."
Chen Xiaobei made a mental calculation.
"I'll still need another fifty-eight thousand merit points to reach three hundred thousand merit points! I'm going to use it all to redeem Brother Yu's soul, and I'd still need to earn another thirty thousand merit points to transfer Wenyuan's soul to another body… I don't think I can collect all these merit points on this trip…"
Suddenly, he and Luo Puti could hear the sound of footsteps from the stairs, followed by some shocked, hushed voices.
"Oh my god! So much treasure! We are going to be rich! This is one huge score!"
"Look, over there! It's a blood jade coffin! Oh my God! That is the real mother lode!"
"I think we can purchase quite an amount of Spirit Stones if we sell this coffin!"
...…..
Those people were none other than Hundred Beasts Faction. Poison Rat and the other two remaining combatants had exploded in excitement when they saw the treasure.
"Shut the hell up! Look for Bao Linshuang! I want to chop him up into a million pieces!" Long Aotian shouted angrily.
"Master! Please, calm down… Actually, it is not necessary for us to look for that bastard!" Old Tortoise advised.
"Why is that? That son of the bitch screwed with me! I will have my vengeance! I will be a real fool if I don't kill him!" Long said while frowning.
"The brat is full of fiendish machinations! I bet that he's hiding in some corner waiting to ambush us! We'd easily lose to him if we don't have a solid plan!" Old Tortoise said.
"That... makes sense... But, are we just going to leave things like this?" Long Aotian replied, his teeth gritted in frustration.
"We'll definitely make him pay! However, we don't need to do it ourselves; killing him without his blood tainting our blades is the highest level of revenge!"
"What do you mean by that?" Long Aotian asked.
"The most valuable item here is the blood jade coffin! First, we are going to move it, and I'll get Poison Rat to place some poison here. After that, we block the stairs; and sometime later we could simply walk in here to collect their dead bodies!" Old Tortoise answered viciously.
"Terrific plan! Old Tortoise, you live up to your name! Genius! What a mastermind!" Poison Rat praised.
"Killing that son of the bitch with poison is showing mercy to him!" Long Aotian was not exactly happy with the plan; he wished to torture Chen with his bare hands.
"Master, patience is a virtue! There are only five of us left now, and more will end up dead if we keep taking the risk… It would really be terrible for our faction if you, our leader, die here!"
"I…" Long Aotian trembled involuntarily in fear. He could still feel the agony whenever he remembered the itchy powder; he now had a genuine fear that Chen Xiaobei would set some weird traps for them.
"Alright! We shall follow Old Tortoise's plan! Let's carry the coffin!" He flung his hands and led his people to the blood jade coffin. "Move it!"
Poison Rat rubbed his hands together. To him, the idea of selling the coffin to make a fortune was more than appealing.
"Open it and toss out the dead body first! It's going to bring us bad luck!" Long Aotian ordered haughtily.
"Okay!" Poison Rat grinned and pushed the coffin cover over.
"Whoosh*
As soon the cover was ajar, a stream of cold wind streaked out of the coffin.
"So fast! That's an evil spirit with ten thousand combat power!"
Hiding away from some distance, Chen Xiaobei had been anticipating that exact moment. Through the Netherspirit Battlescouter, Chen Xiaobei could see the true form of that evil spirit.
It extended its Spirit Claws towards Poison Rat!
*Slaaash!*
Poison Rat's body was sliced open; blood, mixed with shredded internal organs spilt out. It was a horrendous scene.
"What the hell is going on?" Long said shockingly.
"It's Yin Qi! There's an evil spirit inside the coffin! Everyone! Retreat now!" Old Tortoise shouted in caution, and quickly brought out a small clothed bag from his jacket. Grabbing a pinch of silver powder from within, he flung it into the air!
*Poof!*
The silver powder ignited the moment it came in contact with the wind, and a malicious spirit that stood some three-meters tall was revealed in the resulting green flame! Its body turned dark green after the green fire landed on it; now ordinary folk could see it through their naked eyes – without the help of Yin Yang vision.
"What kind of powder is that? It is so mystical…" Chen Xiaobei was dumbfounded.
"That is Ghost Shadow Powder! Shamans would grind phosphate rock into powder first, and then imbue it with power through the use of some unique method! It forces the spirits to reveal their true forms!" Luo Puti explained.
"Does that mean that the Old Tortoise guy is a Shaman? Anyway, the evil spirit had the upper hand with its invisibility! However, it might not win now since its body has been revealed." Chen Xiaobei said worriedly.
*Raaawr!!*
The evil spirit was not very pleased that its body had turned green; the fearsome force quickly focused its attention on Old Tortoise and tore at him with its Spirit Claws.
"You dare?! You aren't powerful enough to kill me yet!" Unfettered, Old Tortoise drew the Luopan that he had used earlier from his jacket.
*Click!*
*Click!*
There was a hidden compartment in the Luopan; three pieces of yellow paper talismans were inside the hidden compartment!
*Whoosh*
Old Tortoise used the talismans to repel the Spirit Claw.
*Boom!*
A ray of golden light filled the room, forcing back the spirit.
"Argh… Ouch…."
It was as it was screaming in agony.
"Master, take these talismans! You need to stick them on the forehead, heart, and abdomen of the spirit. It will destroy it!" Old Tortoise handed the talismans to Long and took a few steps back immediately.
"No problem! I can take it down easily with these!" Long smiled confidently and charged at the evil spirit at full strength. It was plain that he had his mind elsewhere instead of fighting the evil spirit properly.
"Hehe… He is going to face some really bad luck!" Chen Xiaobei grinned and said mockingly.
"What do you mean by that?" Luo asked softly.
"His pride is going to kill him! Long Aotian does not know that evil spirit is as powerful as him!" Chen observed them intently; he already knew how it was going to end since the start.
*Raaawr!!*
The evil spirit roared, and charged at Long Aotian with its Spirit Claw!
