He sighed and said, "That treasure of the Demon Tribe is located in a very sinister place in my Cang Xuan City. It is a remnant left behind by the ancient Heaven Realm's Demon Tribe. That Demon Tribe was later annihilated for reasons unknown, and that place turned into a wasteland filled with thick ghostly energy.
My Ao family has been stationed in Cang Xuan City for over ten thousand years. Not long ago, we accidentally uncovered the treasure. I had secretly investigated that treasure of the Demon Tribe; it should be a place of inheritance for the Demon Saint, but it is fraught with dangers. I nearly perished there, thinking that I would explore it again when I had the chance in the future."
"Who would have thought that the news of the Demon Saint's treasure would spread within a small circle? Now, several forces within Yunzhou are already aware of it. The Soul Fire family, Tianyue City, and other forces have come for this."
"Thus, my Ao family can’t wait much longer. We must enter quickly. Coincidentally, during this time, the Heaven Realm has changed, and some anomalies have appeared in the Demon Saint's treasure. Some of the ghostly energies inside have also been disrupted, making it the best opportunity to go in and seize the treasure."
Ao Lie explained in detail.
"Are you saying that the City Lord wants to bring me along?"
When Qin Chen heard this, his heart stirred. The Demon Saint's treasure must contain treasures, and he needed to break through to the Heaven Saint within three years; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to solve the crisis of the Tianwu Continent.
Relying on mere cultivation was simply insufficient; he must seek treasures, and this Demon Saint's treasure was perfect for him.
However, Qin Chen still guessed the reason why Ao Lie had informed him of this. In terms of strength, the experts of the Ao family should be much stronger than him, right?
Even a peerless Earth Saint like Ao Lie found it dangerous to enter. Why would he bring along someone like him, a beginner in the Earth Saint realm?
"Young friend Qin Chen must be wondering why I would bring you along."
Ao Lie seemed to be aware of Qin Chen's confusion: "Because you are the successor of the Holy Master, a natural wielder of great fortune. Wherever you go, you can easily turn danger into safety; that is a kind of fortune."
"In fact, I originally wouldn't necessarily bring you along since your cultivation is too weak. I then gave you a test, which was to break through to Earth Saint during the grand event. I did not expect young friend to achieve it so easily, and with such terrifying strength. This has given me even more confidence; otherwise, I wouldn't have completely opened the Holy Bloodline to you."
"This expedition for the treasure will be fraught with danger. Young friend must strive to enhance your strength; this way, we have a better chance of obtaining the treasure."
Ao Lie was extremely sincere, revealing the truth.
"I see."
Qin Chen suddenly understood; this explained everything. The concept of fortune was indeed incredibly popular in the Heaven Realm.
If Ao Lie firmly believed he was the heir of the Holy Master, it made sense that he would bring him along.
"Young friend, I speak the truth. You possess quite a bit of fortune, and your means are superb. Your strength is extremely formidable and should not be weaker than an average peak Earth Saint in the mid-stage. Though not strong, you can barely protect yourself, which is enough to aid my City Lord's Mansion in obtaining the treasure.
I wonder if young friend is willing to go together?"
Ao Lie, the City Lord, asked.
"Of course! The Demon Saint's treasure is an opportunity hard to come by. Naturally, I am interested; otherwise, how could I cultivate to become a Heaven Saint?"
Qin Chen replied proudly.
"Haha, good! Let's go together. I wonder how you would like to divide the treasure? How much do you want?"
Ao Lie asked.
"Haha..." Qin Chen laughed, "City Lord Ao Lie, discussing the division of the treasure now seems a bit premature, doesn’t it? Let's talk about it after we obtain the treasure."
