The Two-Faced Venerate Emperor
chapter-1254

“Hmm, what is this?”

Ji Mo Ya’s gaze swept over, “That should be a Demon Crystal, it is likely created after a long period. However, it does not affect the quality of the spirit energy within. You can see it as a form of High-Grade Spirit Stone.”

“That’s great!” Nan Gong Bei Cheng immediately bent down to pick it up.

Ji Mo Ya soon added, “However, there should be Demon Energy within it.”

Nan Gong Bei Cheng paused.

“You can find a method to purify it after you return and it will be fine.”

“I must say,” Nan Gong Bei Cheng spoke unhappily, “Can’t you finish your sentence in one go?”

Nan Gong Bei Cheng had very complicated feelings towards Ji Mo Ya.

It was because of Ji Mo Ya that the declining Nan Gong Clan was ultimately in decay, even his father was indirectly killed by this person.

However, he had fought beside Ji Mo Ya in battle and was even saved by the latter once.

How was he going to settle the scores?

Moreover, humanity was facing the threat of their common enemy, the demons, right now. Ji Mo Ya was the peak existence of their generation. If Nan Gong Bei Cheng ignored the bigger picture and fought with Ji Mo Ya, the higher echelons would be dissatisfied. This might affect his clan’s development.

So be it, let nature take its course!

With that discovery, everyone got excited and started to step on bones.

“Pa!”

One more was found, Shang Qiu Meng Qian happily kept it inside his bag.

“Pa!”

“Ah…”

The bone that Bai Li Jia Bao stepped on contained a Vampiric Demon Worm!

Shang Qiu Meng Qian happened to be beside her and sent a slash attack. Pinning the worm onto the ground.

“Everyone be careful! Not all of them contain treasures!”

“Why am I so unlucky!” Bai Li Jia Bao sighed.

Shang Qiu Meng Qian grinned, “This is nothing, just a rare occurrence.”

“Yet, you still smile!” Bai Li Jia Bao angrily replied, “It must be because you are beside me and your bad luck spread to me!”

Shang Qiu Meng Qian was not frustrated, “Sure, sure. I will stay further away.”

After he spoke, he exaggeratedly took two small steps away.

Bai Li Jia Bao did not comment.

Huan Qing Yan looked at the two and smiled.

Everyone continued to hunt for treasures.

These bones have equal probabilities of containing Demon Crystals or Demon Worms.

Fortunately, the Demon Worms were not many, allowing the group to kill them one at a time.

Therefore, the treasure hunting went on in an amicable atmosphere.

Just as everyone was enjoying crushing bones. A solemn voice suddenly appeared within the palace:

“Who dares to disturb this god’s rest?!”

The moment the voice appeared, a powerful pressure descended within the palace!

Everyone was shocked.

“This is…” even the usually indifferent Shang Qiu Meng Qian was displaying a startled expression.

Ji Mo Ya was the same.

Everyone was from great clans and have experienced many things.

Yet none of them has experienced such an enormous pressure before, including from their Old Half-Sage Ancestors!

“This… can it be the Demon God? He is still alive?” Nan Gong Bei Cheng whispered.

“That should not be possible.” Ji Mo Ya contemplated, “However, it is likely related to the Demon God.”

“Then what should we do?”

“It looks like it is not coming over, what is happening?”

Due to the darkness, the vision was obstructed, and they were unable to see far.

“Maybe it is under some form of restriction.” Ji Mo Ya commented, “However, since we are already here, we might as well take a look.”

“That’s right, nothing can be gained without effort in this world.” Nan Gong Bei Cheng added, “We should be fine if we stay prudent and adapt to the situation.”
