Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 174 - 174 171 The Treasure Vault of the All Joy Sect_1

174: Chapter 171 The Treasure Vault of the All Joy Sect_1 174: Chapter 171 The Treasure Vault of the All Joy Sect_1 Under the might of the Five Phases Divine Thunder Array Formation, the members of the All Joy Sect were thrown into chaos.

Lu Chuan, holding that dagger, became the embodiment of death, reaping the lives of these people at will.

Before long, including Elder Sun, all the Transcendent Realm skilled experts had fallen by Lu Chuan’s hand.

Without the leadership of the Transcendent Realm experts, the remaining members of the All Joy Sect were a disorganized mob, and Lu Chuan merely needed a little trickery to end their lives.

After retracting the Five Phases Divine Thunder Array Formation, those who were not enveloped in the formation were now scared witless, scurrying away with their tails between their legs.

Lu Chuan had no intention of letting these people get away and quickly pursued them to eradicate any future troubles.

Soon, the training hall was left with only Lu Chuan alive.

Looking at the bodies strewn across the ground, he cast a spell, and a flame burst into existence out of thin air, igniting a raging inferno in the training hall in an instant.

After ensuring that no threats remained, Lu Chuan then turned and walked toward the direction of the prison.

He arrived at the entrance of the dungeon, broke the iron chains, opened the door, and said to the people inside, “The All Joy Sect has been eradicated by me, and from today onward, this evil sect will no longer exist in the world.

You are free to leave.”

The crowd wore expressions of disbelief.

However, they had all heard the screams of agony coming from outside and knew that a great battle must have taken place.

Now that Lu Chuan had come alive, it meant he must have won.

One person tentatively ran out, and when he confirmed that there were indeed no people from the All Joy Sect outside, he excitedly shouted, “What he said is true!

We are free!”

Hearing this, everyone immediately became excited and proceeded to run down the mountain.

The girl with the beautiful eyes approached Lu Chuan, bowed deeply, and said, “Thank you.”

Her Mandarin was not quite standard, and she didn’t quite sound like she was from Cathay.

Lu Chuan smiled and replied, “There’s no need to be polite.

You should also hurry down the mountain with them.

It’s safer to go down together at night.”

The girl hesitated, as if she wanted to say something to Lu Chuan, but by the time she decided to speak, Lu Chuan had already turned and walked in the direction of the back mountain of the All Joy Sect.

After hesitating for a moment, she ultimately did not follow the others down the mountain but instead followed in the direction Lu Chuan had just left.

Lu Chuan made his way to the back mountain of the All Joy Sect.

Having been trapped here by Ruan Nan and almost losing his life, although he had avenged himself by wiping out the All Joy Sect, he naturally couldn’t return empty-handed.

He had to find some treasures to bring back to heal his injured heart.

According to Ruan Nan, the treasury of the All Joy Sect was in a cave on the back mountain.

Lu Chuan searched the back mountain for a long time but didn’t find any cave, and he even began to suspect that Ruan Nan was fooling him.

Just when he was about to give up, he suddenly noticed a sign reading “No Trespassing” not far ahead.

He walked up to the sign, looked around, and saw a forest on the left and a mountain on the right, but there was no sign of any cave on the mountain.

“There’s nothing here, so why is there such a sign?

Could it be that this forest prohibits random entry?”

Lu Chuan searched the forest for a long time but still found nothing out of the ordinary.

As he puzzled over this, he suddenly remembered his Divine Sense and instead of searching aimlessly, decided to use it to hasten the search.

As he had only recently broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, his range of Divine Sense was only about a hundred meters, but it was enough.

Using Divine Sense to observe his surroundings, Lu Chuan quickly realized that the special place was not on the mountain or in the forest, but right beneath his feet.

Two meters down from where he stood was an empty space.

“So, it is underground.

Damn that Ruan Nan, telling me it was a cave and wasting so much of my time.”

Lu Chuan grumbled, then quickly used his Divine Sense to locate the entrance to the cellar.

Soon, he arrived under the big tree with the “No Trespassing” sign, squatted down, brushed aside the dirt covering it, and discovered a wooden board with a lock.

He busted the lock and lifted the board, used a spell to light up the dark space, and saw a vast room filled with all kinds of items.

It must be the treasury of the All Joy Sect.

“This treasury might be primitive, but honestly, if I didn’t have Divine Sense, I might never have thought the All Joy Sect would hide their treasures in such a place.”

Without hesitation, Lu Chuan jumped into the cellar.

The first things that caught his eye were stacks and stacks of books.

He picked up a few and glanced through them, finding they were all about secret techniques for dual cultivation, detailing various positions for dual cultivation and even ranking them.

The other books were cultivation diaries of successive Sect Masters of the All Joy Sect, recorded in great detail, making even someone well-acquainted with Island Country films like Lu Chuan feel somewhat embarrassed.

For disciples of the All Joy Sect, these books might be treasures, but to Lu Chuan, they were scarcely different from frivolous literature.

He did not waste time on such things and turned his head to look around, quickly spotting many medicinal herbs not far away.

He walked over, picked up the herbs, and after a glance, he realized they were all hundred-year medicinal herbs, totaling more than a dozen.

“I’ve really struck it rich this time.

Just these hundred-year medicinal herbs alone are already worth a fortune.”

He continued searching and saw another box on the other side.

He used spiritual power to break the lock on the box and opened it to immediately feel a rich force washing over him.

Upon closer inspection, he found that the box was filled entirely with Profound Ice Stones!

He roughly counted and there were actually twenty Profound Ice Stones in the box!

“The foundation of the All Joy Sect is indeed substantial.

With these twenty Profound Ice Stones, I could definitely forge a relatively high-level Composite Array Formation.

I should really thank Ruan Nan and Qin Lan for getting me into this place.”

Lu Chuan’s face lit up with excitement, and he didn’t feel angry about being tricked by Ruan Nan anymore.

Pleased with himself, he closed the box containing the Profound Ice Stones and looked around to find that the rest was just some gold and jewelry stuff, with nothing else special.

Next to the box containing the Profound Ice Stones, there was also a small wooden token tossed aside.

The token was carved with a tower-like structure and exuded an ancient aura.

Apart from that, there was nothing particularly notable about it.

“Usually, Profound Ice Stones are only found where peerless treasures emerge.

With so many here, it means the people of the All Joy Sect must have discovered a peerless treasure, but I don’t see anything in this treasury that looks like one.”

“I also searched Shi Niang’s room but didn’t find anything special.

Could it be that the peerless treasure was some kind of spiritual medicine that has already been consumed?”

Lu Chuan released his Divine Sense to carefully search the cellar, but he found no other items of note.

The only slightly unusual thing was that wooden token carved with a tower.

This token actually escaped the detection of Lu Chuan’s Divine Sense.

If Lu Chuan closed his eyes and observed only with his Divine Sense, he would not be able to detect the existence of this token.

“Could this wooden token be the treasure?”

Lu Chuan, filled with intense curiosity, carefully examined the token for a long time but could not find anything about it that resembled a treasure.

“Could it be that its material is so special that it can shield against Divine Sense?”

Finding nothing after a long observation, Lu Chuan placed the token inside his clothes.

Even if it wasn’t a treasure, the fact that it could shield against Divine Sense meant the material of the token was certainly exceptional, and carrying it could do no harm.

He collected the dozen or so hundred-year-old herbs and the Profound Ice Stones into a bundle.

Although he wanted to take all the wealth of the All Joy Sect with him, as there were many times in the future when his cultivation would require money, the twenty Profound Ice Stones were already heavy enough, and he could not manage to take anything else on his long journey back.

Therefore, he chose to take these more important items first.

However, before leaving the cellar, he still stuffed a few gold bars into his pockets.

Emerging from the cellar, a satisfied smile spread across Lu Chuan’s face.

He now understood why the big shots in the Cultivation World would often go wipe out those heretical sects for no apparent reason; after all, the rewards they got from doing so were much quicker than gradual accumulation.

“I wonder if there are any other heretical sects like the All Joy Sect nearby.

If there are, I might just wipe them out too.

It’s not that I want to plunder their treasures, but purely to uphold righteousness and carry out justice on behalf of the heavens!”

Lu Chuan thought sneakily, walking towards the direction of the All Joy Sect’s main compound.

Just then, he suddenly noticed a figure appearing not far away and immediately stopped, becoming alert.

“Could it be a remnant of the All Joy Sect?”

Lu Chuan carefully walked in that direction, with spiritual power already gathering in the palm of his hand.

But as he approached, he realized that the person was actually that girl with the very beautiful eyes.

Seeing Lu Chuan coming, the girl was overjoyed and quickly said, “Big brother, I’ve been looking for you for a long time.

I thought you had already gone down the mountain.”

Lu Chuan looked confused and asked, “Why didn’t you go down the mountain with the others, and why are you looking for me?”

The girl hesitated for a moment, then looking sincerely at Lu Chuan, she said, “Big brother, I need your help!”
