Chapter 502 Annihilate them all! Loot them!
Chen Fan didn't look at him, his gaze sweeping over the five people, his voice calm: "When Tian Xiangzi died, did anyone give her a quick death?"
Fairy Hongyun trembled, tears welling up in her eyes. She wanted to say something more, but the Heavenly Fiend Ancestor pressed down on her shoulder.
The ancestor of the Fu Sect slowly shook his head, his eyes filled with bitterness and relief.
Wang Tiangang suddenly raised his head and said sternly, "Chen Fan! I am a member of the Wang family! If you kill me, the Wang family will surely..."
Before he could finish speaking...
A streak of gray-white sword light silently swept past.
Wang Tiangang's head shot skyward, spraying blood. His nascent soul, barely emerging from his body, was enveloped by a wisp of deathly intent, screaming as it turned to ashes.
Chen Fan withdrew his finger, his expression calm.
"The Wang family," he said softly, "we remember them."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and made a grasping motion, and four sword energies of cause and effect silently slashed out.
Before Qinglian Daoist, Zhou Shan, Tian Sha Lao Zu, and Hongyun Fairy could even react, they felt a chill between their brows.
There were no screams, no struggles.
The four remained kneeling, their eyes quickly losing their sparkle. A moment later, Chen Fan casually extracted the five Nascent Soul souls and cast them into the Black Soul Banner.
The black mist on the banner churned, revealing five more struggling and twisting soul shadows.
After doing all this, Chen Fan expressionlessly searched the storage bags of the five people and collected all the treasures scattered in the side hall.
He then stepped outside the hall and began a thorough cleanup of the entire Soul Refining Sect ruins.
He first went to several side halls and caves he had passed by when breaking through the formation.
In the ruins of the Sutra Repository, he found dozens of still readable jade slips, which recorded the cultivation techniques and secret arts of the Soul Refining Sect over the past ten thousand years, their experience in alchemy and weapon crafting, as well as a great deal of information about the Cultivation Alliance.
Although most of these jade slips were incomplete, they were priceless treasures to Chen Fan, who was trapped in the sealed land and had never been in contact with the outside world of cultivation.
In the ruins of the alchemy room, he dug out more than a dozen bottles of well-sealed pills.
Although most of the medicinal power had been lost, the remaining medicinal properties still far surpassed those of the pills currently available in the sealed land. One of the bottles contained a fifth-tier Purifying Essence Pill, the same kind that Wang Xuan and the others had seen when breaking the formation, which had a remarkable effect on purifying impurities in the nascent soul.
There are also three fiery red Earth Fire Essence Pills and two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs sealed in a jade box, their roots still radiating spiritual light.
In the weapon-refining hall, he found three still-usable magical treasures!
A bronze breastplate, a black short blade, and a small, exquisite cauldron the size of a palm.
In addition, there were several broken magical artifacts, which, although unusable, were valuable in themselves because of the materials they were made from.
As for spirit stones, they were piled up like mountains. Even after ten thousand years of depletion, the spirit stone reserves of the Soul Refining Sect at its peak were still terrifying in quantity. There were hundreds of thousands of top-grade spirit stones alone, and countless high-grade spirit stones.
Chen Fan sorted all the items and put them into storage bags.
But he knew that it would take him a long time to completely loot the entire Soul Refining Sect ruins by himself.
And time is precisely what he lacks most right now.
With this in mind, Chen Fan no longer hesitated.
A faint golden light emanated from his palm, connecting with the golden bowl within his body.
The next moment, several streams of light flew out of the golden bowl and landed on the open ground in front of the weapon refining hall.
The man at the front, with a fair complexion and no beard, and a shrewd and cunning look in his eyes, was none other than Eunuch Wei.
He rubbed his eyes after landing, and when he could see his surroundings clearly, he couldn't help but gasp: "Eunuch Chen, where...where is this? Why is it so eerie?"
Following closely behind were Ling Huanzi and Wu Yuezi. The two looked around and felt the terrifying pressure lingering in the air, and their expressions changed.
Ling Huanzi said in a deep voice, "Such a heavy aura of malevolence... This place is definitely not ordinary."
Old Huang, Qingyizi, Qingfengzi, Tianyu Daoren, and Qingxiazi filed out, each with a look of surprise and doubt on their faces.
Especially Qingxiazi, who came from outside the realm and had far more experience than the others, had her pupils shrink when she saw the array patterns and sect emblems remaining on the dilapidated palaces.
"This is... the Soul Refining Sect?!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
The name of the Soul Refining Sect has been passed down for ten thousand years in the sealed land, and has long been a legendary taboo. Now that they have actually seen the ruins with their own eyes, the shock in everyone's hearts can be imagined.
Shi San, who came out last, still looked honest and simple. He carried a hoe covered in mud, wore a coarse cloth tunic, and straw sandals. He looked somewhat out of place among the crowd.
He walked up to Chen Fan and bowed respectfully: "Master."
Chen Fan nodded, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, and slowly said, "This is the ruins of the Soul Refining Sect. The seal has been repaired by us, and there is no longer any threat within the ruins. Take everything you can."
He paused, then added, "Dig three feet into the ground."
Eunuch Wei's eyes lit up, and he was the first to realize: "Digging three feet into the ground? This is... emptying the Soul Refining Sect?"
"Not bad." Chen Fan's tone was flat, as if he were talking about a trivial matter. "Spirit herbs, pills, magic weapons, jade slips, spirit stones, refining materials, array tools, even the rune stone slabs on the palace and the spirit bricks paving the ground... anything useful, take it all."
With a casual wave of his hand, dozens of empty storage bags floated in front of everyone: "Ten for each person, until they are full."
The group exchanged bewildered glances, then their eyes blazed with intense desire.
This was a top sect from a fifth-level cultivation kingdom ten thousand years ago!
Even though it was sealed and obliterated for ten thousand years, what remains is far beyond what any sect in the sealed land can compare to.
Being able to loot this place is an incredible stroke of luck.
"What are you all standing there for? Make your move!" Eunuch Wei was the first to react, grabbing ten storage bags and running towards the nearest side hall.
Ling Huanzi and Wu Yuezi exchanged a glance, then each took a storage bag and dashed off in one of the other two directions.
Old Huang chuckled and rubbed his hands together as he walked toward the ruins of the alchemy room.
Qingyizi and Qingfengzi went together towards the Hall of Transmission.
Daoist Tianyu and Qingxiazi walked tacitly into the depths of the weapon-refining hall.
Only Shi San remained standing in place, scratching his head and looking at Chen Fan: "Master, what should I do?"
Chen Fan glanced at him and pointed to a patch of ruined spirit fields not far away: "Shovel up all that spirit soil and take it with you."
"Yes, Master," Shi San replied憨憨地, then picked up his hoe and went off.
Chen Fan then headed towards the core area of the ruins, where there were several secret rooms and forbidden areas that he hadn't had time to explore in detail before.
In the following days, a lively and bustling atmosphere filled the ruins of the Soul Refining Sect.
The area under Wei Gonggong's jurisdiction was the living quarters of his disciples.
He led Ling Huanzi to open each stone chamber one by one, taking away everything of value.
Spirit stones, pills, and magical artifacts go without saying; he even pried off the moonstones embedded in the walls one by one.
"This is moonstone, it's long gone from the outside world. If you take it back, you can sell any one of these for a sky-high price!" Eunuch Wei muttered as he pried it open, his eyes gleaming.
He even found a complete set of mid-grade spiritual artifact tea set in a seemingly inconspicuous storeroom, and couldn't stop smiling on the spot.
Chen Fan came over midway and saw that Eunuch Wei was directing Ling Huanzi to dismantle a carved spirit wood door. He shook his head slightly and turned to leave.
