Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 38

"ZheavXing…"

Yan Chutian muttered to himself. His eyes gradually narrowed, and a cold glint flashed across his eyes. There was no possibility of reconciliation between him and Zhou Xing. Zhou Xing had destroyed his family, and he had also used the Puppet Beast from the Heaven Realm to kill Zhou Teng. So, there was only one possibility for the two of them to meet. One of them has to die.

At the same time, he felt the aura of the man beside him gradually becoming extremely sharp, like the tip of a knife. Mu Wan subconsciously held back her original emotions. He could guess that there must be a relationship between the two of them and Yan Chutian, and this relationship was not good.

A few breaths after the two of them left, Yan Chutian and Mu Wan jumped down from the giant tree. Sensing the sharp aura around him, Mu Wan finally inevitably asked gently, "You .. know the two of them?"

Yan Chutian did not hide anything from Mu Wan. After all, he even knew his most important secret. Compared to that, what was his hostility? Therefore, he nodded lightly and followed in the direction that Zhou Xing and Yang Hong had left behind.

"Give me some time. It won't be too late to go to the Central Plains after I deal with them."

"Then ... I'll go with you too."

Despite the hesitation, Mu Wan hurriedly spoke up and followed in Yan Chutian's footsteps. The two of them followed the trail together.

Completely unaware that two people were secretly watching them, Zhou Xing and Yang Hong continued to search everywhere, looking for marks on the tattered map. As if the sky had not disappointed those who had survived, after searching day and night, they finally found a strange place on the slope.

Zhou Xing's heart burned with vigor. Looking at the slope, he hurriedly circulated the spiritual energy in his body. Spiritual light surged, and a strong whirlwind spread out, lifting the ground on the ground. After the ground was lifted, a ten-foot-wide giant hole appeared before the eyes.

Looking into the hole, they saw a stone staircase jutting down, leading to the underground of unknown darkness.

"Sister Zhou Xing, we found him!"

Yang Hong looked at the black hole in front of him and was shocked. Since the marks on the map were genuine, there must be something hidden underneath. For a Yuanying realm cultivator to create a map to record something, it must be extremely valuable.

No matter if it was an inheritance or a lost treasure, it could be said to be priceless and comparable to the ultimate treasure of their sect!

Although Zhou Xing's reaction wasn't as severe as Yang Hong's, his eyes were already burning with passion. He then lit a torch and impatiently walked into the underground cavern, following the stone stairs that had been silent for an unknown time in this dark underground cave.

A few breaths after Zhou Xing and Yang Hong entered the cave, Mu Wan and Yan Chutian also appeared at the entrance of the cave. Yan Chutian first looked at the hole in the ground in a daze, and then his expression slowly became clear.

Thinking about it carefully, how could he not have known that Zhou Xing was most likely here to search for treasure? The ragged scroll in his hand was the best proof. At this moment, they had clearly found the treasure ground and could not wait to look for it.

Seeing the darkness at the cave entrance, a cold smile slowly appeared on Yan Chutian's slightly immature face.

I'm afraid I can't find a way to make you suffer, but you gave that method to me. Come to think of it, when you think of finding a treasure, suddenly I will send you from heaven to hell. You will experience tremendous pain, right?

…

Zhou Xing did not know how long he had been walking down the stone steps before a beam of light finally appeared in front of him. Continuing walking down the stone steps and into the light, Zhou Xing discovered that he had stepped into a stone room, and the source of the light was a Spirit Crystal mountain that had piled up around the stone room.

As for Zhou Xing, he had never seen so many Spirit Crystals, let alone Yang Hong who was beside him. Right now, Yang Hong's face was filled with shock. He looked around and just felt dizzy. So many Spirit Crystals was an amount he could not imagine!

"Sister Zhou, so many Spirit Crystals, we are rich…"

Yang Hong was startled, but as he spoke, he suddenly saw that Zhou Xing was no longer staring at the surrounding Spirit Crystals, but at the square platform in the middle. An ancient book, a Qiankun bag, and a long golden mace were secretly placed on the square platform.

At this moment, even without Zhou Xing's words, two words immediately appeared in Yang Hong's — inheritance's mind!

He had not expected that the marked map was actually an inheritance!

"Sir Zhou …"

Yang Hong shouted involuntarily. This time, Zhou Xing's loud laughter rang out and echoed in the stone room. He stared at the square platform, knowing that his chance to rise had arrived.

After laughing for a long time, Zhou Xing slowly turned his gaze away from the square platform and turned to Yang Hong beside him. His eyes gradually narrowed as he said softly, "Young Brother, I really have to thank you for being able to find such a huge legacy."

"Sister Zhou, equally. Anyway, we…"

Yang Hong replied with a flattered smile, but before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach. He lowered his head and saw a sparkling white dagger had been pierced into his stomach, and fresh blood was flowing out.

Who else was the owner of this dagger besides Zhou Xing !?

"Sister Zhou, you ..."

Yang Hong's face was filled with disbelief. He did not understand why he was willing to hand over the map only to follow behind Zhou Xing. However, he was still killed!

"Haha ... My sister, I know you don't want to, but the fact that I got the inheritance shouldn't be divulged. So, I can only trouble you to become a dead man and keep it a secret for me!"

Zhou Xing's expression was cold. He increased the strength in his hands and ruthlessly thrust a dagger into Yang Hong's stomach. He then suddenly pulled it out, causing fresh blood to gush out.

Yang Hong's mouth and nose were bleeding, and he fell to the ground in a sorry state. Before he died, he could only use his last strength to point at Zhou Xing and grit his teeth in annoyance. "Zhou Xing, you .. you will die horribly!"

Once he finished speaking, he completely stopped breathing and became a real corpse.

However, Zhou Xing did not care about the threat he used to say his final strength. From Zhou Xing's point of view, he was clearly blessed with luck, and a strong legacy was right in front of him. As long as he persisted for a while after obtaining the inheritance, he would definitely become a strong cultivator in the future. It would not be a problem for him to stand shoulder to shoulder with the sect leader.

At that time, the people in this area should respect him as king, and he can summon wind and rain whenever he wants!
