998: Chapter 998: The Sand Bandit’s Plot (Fifth Update) _1 998: Chapter 998: The Sand Bandit’s Plot (Fifth Update) _1 Although the Earth-Evil King was strong, he was after all a realm behind the Ancient Emperor, and no match for Shi Chuan.

“Lend a hand quickly!”

Seeing that the Earth-Evil King was no match, several Nirvana Realm Sand Bandits also made their moves to assist the Earth-Evil King against Shi Chuan.

Ding Yuan and Lu Lingjie exchanged glances then joined the fray, deciding to first drive back these sand bandits.

“Great opportunity, Black Dragon, let’s go!”

At this moment, Long Yan’s eyes lit up, and with a flash of his body, he arrived in front of the blood-colored seal.

The prepared Vermilion Bird True Fire and a drop of essence blood slammed onto the blood-colored seal.

An invisible force radiated from the Vermilion Bird True Fire, directly tearing a hole in the blood-colored seal.

“Quick, stop him!”

Seeing this, the people of the Three Great Forces changed their expressions, and several of those in the Nirvana Realm immediately flew towards Long Yan.

However, they were a step too late.

At the moment the Vermilion Bird True Fire tore apart the seal, Long Yan and Black Dragon entered into the seal.

“Well done, you Three Great Forces, we will see!”

With less than a minute of fighting, the Earth-Evil King and several Nirvana Realm Sand Bandits were no match for Ding Yuan, Shi Chuan and Lu Lingjie.

Each of them had already suffered quite substantial injuries.

After leaving a harsh sentence behind, the Earth-Evil King took those few Nirvana Realm Sand Bandits and left.

Ding Yuan, Shi Chuan, and Lu Lingjie had no intention to stop them, if they did they would’ve killed them directly.

“Long Yan went in there.”

One Nirvana Realm man spoke to Ding Yuan, Shi Chuan and Lu Lingjie.

“Forcefully break this seal.”

Next, Ding Yuan, Shi Chuan and Lu Lingjie teamed up to attack the seal.

Below the seal.

“This is the treasure?”

Here was a neither large nor small space, measuring a hundred feet in size.

It was shrouded in gloom, and in the center was a broken ancient altar.

After Long Yan entered here, he found a brocade box on the altar.

Inside the box was a Spirit Stone, and it was even a lower-grade Spirit Stone at that.

“Damn, this is a trap of the Sand Bandits.”

Long Yan immediately realized that this was definitely a trap set by the Sand Bandits.

Either there was a treasure here and it has already been taken by the Earth-Evil King, or there simply was no treasure to begin with, and it’s merely a trap set by the Earth-Evil King.

“Crack!”

Just at this moment, the blood-colored seal above them shattered under the attack of Ding Yuan, Shi Chuan, and Lu Lingjie.

The three rushed down from above instantly, closely followed by the others from the Three Great Forces.

The people from the Three Great Forces looked around and found no treasure, eventually settling their gazes on Long Yan.

The treasure is gone, it’s definitely on Long Yan.

Apart from this, there was no other explanation.

“Long Yan, hand over the treasure.”

Ding Yuan said, in a cold voice.

“Take it.”

Long Yan tossed the brocade box in his hand towards Ding Yuan.

Ding Yuan immediately caught the brocade box.

Shi Chuan and Lu Lingjie were both staring intently at the brocade box, already secretly prepared.

Although the Three Great Forces were on the same side, there was only one treasure, and it all came down to strength.

Ding Yuan was also on guard against Shi Chuan and Lu Lingjie.

The three of them all had their own ulterior motives.

However, the moment Ding Yuan opened the brocade box, all of them were dumbfounded.

A spirit stone, and it’s a lower-grade spirit stone at that!

“Long Yan, you’re playing us!”

The three glared at Long Yan angrily, killing intent rising in their eyes.

“I didn’t play you.

The treasure I got here is this.”

Long Yan said seriously.

Although he knew the other party wouldn’t believe him, the fact is the fact.

“Do you take us for three-year-olds?”

Lu Lingjie sternly said, “Long Yan, if you hand over the treasure now, I can ensure you suffer less.”

Given the commotion earlier, the treasure here must be extraordinary.

“Whether you believe me or not, I’m telling the truth.”

Long Yan crossed his arms over his chest, and turned his head gaze away.

“You…”

Lu Lingjie was grinding his teeth in anger.

“The treasure must be on him.

Let’s kill him first.”

Ding Yuan suggested.

Even if not for the treasure, they wouldn’t let Long Yan off.

They might as well kill Long Yan first.

Shi Chuan and Lu Lingjie naturally agreed with this suggestion, their aura fluctuating instantly.

“Clap”, “Clap”, “Clap”.

At this moment, the sound of three successive claps came from above.

The Earth-Evil King had returned with the several Nirvana realm strong ones and the one clapping was the Earth-Evil King himself.

“Brilliant, truly brilliant.”

The Earth-Evil King looked down at Long Yan and the people from the three great forces with a mocking gaze.

“How do you like the environment below?”

He asked, his tone equally mocking.

“Earth-Evil King, you did this on purpose?”

Long Yan already guessed this was the case.

This was clearly a trap set by the Earth-Evil King on purpose.

Was this meant to avenge his action of rescuing Yu Kun from the Beichuan Desert Sea?

“Long Yan, this is the royal tomb prepared especially for you by the Sand Emperor.

The Fengshui is excellent, are you satisfied?”

The Earth-Evil King grinned maliciously, his face warped making him look like a ghoul.

“Is that so?”

A hint of a smile appeared at the corners of Long Yan’s mouth.

Now that the Earth-Evil King had mentioned everything, even if he was dumb, he could see through the whole plot.

Besides, he was not dumb.

He was wondering why the people from the three great forces — Refining God Sect, Tai Yuan Palace, Chunqiu Sect had received the news about the appearance of a treasure in the Death Valley while the Jiu Xiao Dynasty hadn’t.

Turns out, there was no treasure in the Death Valley at all.

It was a fake news intentionally spread by the Sand bandits and they specifically informed the three great forces.

Their goal was to take advantage of the three great forces to deal with him.

Ding Yuan, Shi Chuan, and Lu Lingjie thought of the same and felt they had been played.

However, even if they didn’t get the treasure, killing Long Yan would still be a great gain.

Killing Long Yan would be more valuable than obtaining a piece of treasure.

“Long Yan, your death is certain today!”

Ding Yuan, Shi Chuan, and Lu Lingjie looked at Long Yan, a gloating smile appearing on their faces.

Being stuck in a fight like cornered beasts, if they couldn’t kill Long Yan here, it would be absolutely impossible.

“You all just enjoy yourselves down there, this king won’t accompany you any longer.”

Having said that, the Earth-Evil King took out a jade slip and crushed it.

The instant the jade slip was crushed, a powerful force erupted, immediately turning into a powerful prohibition, sealing the entrance again.

The prohibition was even stronger than the previous blood-colored seal.

The whole space was as secure as a copper wall and an iron fence.

The only exit could only be accessed by an Ancient Emperor.

After handling this, the Earth-Evil King left with his men.

“Damn it!”

Ding Yuan, Shi Chuan, Lu Lingjie, and the others wore ugly expressions as the Earth-Evil King had trapped them like sacrificial lambs.

“Let’s kill Long Yan first.”

As they felt uncomfortable, Ding Yuan, Shi Chuan, and Lu Lingjie simultaneously set their sights on Long Yan.
