Chapter 400 - 400 399 Retrieving the Treasure

400: Chapter 399: Retrieving the Treasure 400: Chapter 399: Retrieving the Treasure Twelve Black Iron Men stood in all directions, their banners wavering, forming waves of mysterious energy.

Suddenly, the mist in the courtyard rolled and eventually enveloped Ghost Manor completely.

Lin Xuan found that this mist was very thick and could block the detection of Soul Power.

It seemed that both the Black Robed Man and Master Ghost didn’t want others to know what was about to happen.

A Defensive Array was formed, and the twelve Black Iron Men again changed the banners in their hands, unleashing the power of the Array.

Suddenly, mysterious blood-colored patterns emerged on the ground, emitting a terrifying killing aura.

As the crimson light grew more intense, it was as if the Gate of Hell had opened, revealing a blood-red pit.

Lin Xuan’s gaze flickered, and he could make out the scene inside.

Mountains of bones, seas of blood floated by, with bones as large as small hills.

“What is this place?” Lin Xuan was astonished.

These bones didn’t seem human, but even Demon Beasts weren’t that big, were they?

“These are Ancient Beasts, likely from an Ancient Battlefield,” Lord of Wine said slowly,

“I never expected that beneath Black Feather Ancient City would be buried an ancient battlefield; no wonder I felt an inexplicable familiarity.”

“Ancient Battlefield?” Lin Xuan was very curious, but Lord of Wine did not elaborate further, and he could only suppress his doubts.

Compared to Lin Xuan, the Black Robed Man and Master Ghost were much calmer.

The two looked towards the blood-colored pit, their eyes gleaming with intense passion.

“Do you see that blood-colored banner?

That’s our target this time!” the Black Robed Man said.

As powerful as he was, he too felt a thrill facing the contents of the blood-colored pit.

Lin Xuan followed the voice and saw, amidst the sea of bones, a rust-stained blood-colored banner, tattered and roughly a third of its original size.

“If you can retrieve that banner, you would be a benefactor of the Big Banner Sect.” the Black Robed Man said.

“Big Banner Sect!” Lin Xuan’s eyes widened in shock; that was one of the top forces of the Dragon Star Strong Country.

Could this Black Robed Man be a member of the Big Banner Sect?

As Lin Xuan marveled, Snow White Monkey on his shoulder was also scratching its head and cheeks, clearly agitated.

“What’s wrong?”

Lin Xuan was moved; he knew Snow White Monkey was very special, always able to find some magical treasures.

But at this moment, he hoped nothing would go wrong with Snow White Monkey.

After comforting Snow White Monkey, Lin Xuan whispered, “If you think you can retrieve the flag, go for it.”

“If you can’t, don’t force yourself.”

Snow White Monkey nodded, then anxiously looked towards the blood-colored pit.

The Black Robed Man took a deep breath and said solemnly, “I can only open it for the duration of three breaths, if you can’t come out after three breaths, you’ll stay in there forever.”

“Three breaths!” Lin Xuan clenched his fists.

Then, the Black Robed Man, with his bronze-covered hands, conjured a banner in the air adorned with crossed swords and daggers.

The flag waved, and a cataclysmic energy surged forth.

Feeling this aura, Lin Xuan trembled inside; the energy was incredibly fierce, capable of utterly annihilating even champions of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

The ferocious energy slammed against the blood-colored pit, instantly tearing open a millstone-sized crack.

Snow White Monkey’s body flickered, then vanished.

The next moment, it appeared inside the blood-colored pit.

However, Snow White Monkey didn’t rush towards the tattered Iron Blood Banner but ran to a corner piled with bones.

Lin Xuan’s face paled, his eyes tightly fixated on the blood-colored pit.

The Black Robed Man’s face also darkened, a terrifying aura emanating from him.

Snow White Monkey moved swiftly, digging out a damaged bowl from a pile of bones, which even had cracks and chips on it.

The next moment, it placed the small bowl on its head and dashed towards the blood-colored banner.

In an instant, it reached the front of the blood-colored banner, its fluffy paws grasping the rust-covered flagpole.

“Hurry, there’s no time left!” the Black Robed Man called out in a low voice, his entire body radiating blood light, constantly waving a sword and banner in his hands.

The figure of Snow White Monkey vanished, and by that time, three breaths’ duration had passed, the blood-colored pit closed again, emitting an aura like that of Hell.

One breath, two breaths.

The figure of Snow White Monkey still did not appear.

“Could it be trapped inside?” Lin Xuan’s face darkened, quickly sensing with his Soul Power.

The Black Robed Man also surveyed his surroundings, his eyebrows tightly furrowed.

“Ah!”

He sighed deeply, his eyes revealing a thick disappointment.

At that moment, the Void trembled, and water-like ripples appeared in the air.

A white figure rapidly emerged, holding a broken banner over two meters long in its hand.

Upon the banner’s appearance, the entire mountain villa trembled as if struck by an earthquake.

The expression of the Black Robed Man changed from disappointment to shock, finally bursting into loud laughter.

He quickly reached for the Iron Blood Banner, and immediately, a blood-colored column of light as huge as a mountain shot up into the sky.

However, the Black Robed Man moved even faster, flipping his palm and swiftly storing the tattered banner.

A column of blood shot up into the sky of Black Feather City and then quickly soared towards Cloud Peak, its terrifying aura causing all the powerhouses within Black Feather City to tremble.

“Ha-ha-ha-ha!”

The Black Robed Man laughed loudly.

Opposite him, Snow White Monkey, with a small bowl on its head, narrowed its gem-like eyes into crescents.

Whoosh!

It transformed into a lingering shadow and dove into Lin Xuan’s Storage Ring.

“Lin Xuan, you are a benefactor of our Big Banner Sect!”

“Now I must go and refine this banner.

Take this Big Banner Order.

In two months, come find me in Desolate Flame City, and feel free to make any requests then!”

Having said this, the Black Robed Man’s body flickered, and he quickly shot towards a black sedan in the sky.

Three terrifying Blood Flood Dragons roared to the heavens, transforming into a blood-colored light and disappearing into the sky.

“Desolate Flame City…” Lin Xuan muttered, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

“Never thought it would actually succeed.

Boy, your good fortune has arrived!” Master Ghost said enviously beside him.

“Lord Iron Hand always keeps his word.

He will definitely fulfill any of your requests.”

“Any request?” Lin Xuan’s eyebrows raised slightly, a hint of an idea forming in his mind.

Would Lord Iron Hand agree and manage if he asked to join the Azure Dragon Society?

“What if my request is very difficult?” Lin Xuan looked towards Master Ghost and asked.

“Very difficult?” Master Ghost was startled, then scoffed.

“No matter how difficult, as long as Lord Iron Hand wants to handle it, he will definitely be able to!”

“Lord Iron Hand is one of the top figures in Dragon Star Strong Country.

There’s nothing he can’t handle.”

“One of the top figures.” Lin Xuan was shocked, realizing that Lord Iron Hand must also hold a high position within the Big Banner Sect.

“Lord of Wine, what exactly is that Iron Blood Banner that made a Spirit Communication Realm powerhouse so excited?

And that small bowl Snow White Monkey was holding, what is it exactly?” Lin Xuan whispered to inquire.

“You’ll know about these matters later.” Lord of Wine seemed still immersed in the scenes of the Ancient Battlefield and did not wish to say more.

“Forget it, it seems I really have to make a trip to Desolate Flame City in two months,” Lin Xuan thought, stroking his chin.
