"Mine, the sacred relics are mine!"

The Yulei Sect's only remaining high-ranking official, who had transformed into a withered wooden monster, frantically searched the shattered remains. He was eager to obtain the eight silver coins that the Bizarre creature had held. The Yulei Sect's chance to rise again rested entirely on these sacred relics. No matter what the deranged Bizarre creature had just said, nothing could stop his lifelong ambition. But no matter how thoroughly he searched, the silver coins that should have been beneath the corpse were nowhere to be found.

"Where are they? Where on earth have they gone?"

Just as he was acting erratically, even starting to dig into the soil, Chu Feng's voice suddenly rang out beside him. A hand holding a few silver coins also extended before it.

"Are you looking for these?"

Seeing the silver coins, the withered wooden monster's body suddenly stiffened. It stared blankly and raised its head, only to see a Palm Imprint growing larger in its vision. The next second, it completely lost consciousness.

Standing up, Chu Feng paid no attention to the ashes scattered on the ground. He just put another silver coin into his Storage Space, his gaze shifting directly to the figure in midair, also holding bandages. He casually grabbed the bandages wrapped around his chest, tore them to shreds, and soared into the air. His gaze instantly locked with a pair of panicked eyes.

"Why did you stop asking? Hmph, trying to run now? Too late!"

Watching the fleeing Bizarre creature, Chu Feng suddenly transformed into a streak of rainbow light. In an instant, he had the Bizarre creature by the neck. Staring into Chu Feng's indifferent eyes, the doomed Bizarre creature was filled with grief and indignation.

"You could have let me disintegrate with that corpse! Why toy with me like this? Why..."

Before the Bizarre creature in his grasp could finish speaking, a silver-white flame erupted from Chu Feng's palm and instantly engulfed it, giving it no time to react. Although he knew this Bizarre creature might have misunderstood something, Chu Feng had no desire to explain himself to a pile of ashes.

The string of system reward prompts appearing in his mind brought Chu Feng no joy. His gaze swept over the surrounding ruins. Only one question lingered in his mind: What kind of entity had possessed the Bizarre creature's body just now?

Could it be someone from Hell? It showed no reverence for God, so it was likely from Hell. Such power far exceeded that of a mere Devil level Bizarre creature. Furthermore, it knew those hidden secrets... Considering all this, it seemed only those arrogant figures from Hell fit the description.

While pondering the entity's identity, Chu Feng recalled the seven-colored light. He also remembered the attack that had pinned even a suspected Demon God to the ground.

Interesting. His gaze sharpened as he looked towards the Sky Vault, an idea seemingly forming in his mind. He squinted. A strange sensation came from his palm; the silver-white flame that should have receded flared up on its own.

With a PFFT, the flame spat out an ancient-looking ring that was strikingly familiar.

Is this... Scorpio?

Staring at the Constellation Ring in his hand, Chu Feng paused, surprised to find another one here. He casually put the ring away and glanced at his Storage Space. He now had four Constellation Rings.

This is getting a bit cluttered, isn't it?

Looking at his cluttered Storage Space, Chu Feng frowned. He had never carefully organized it and hadn't realized just how many miscellaneous items had accumulated. Besides system rewards and daily necessities, there were two daggers and four rings taken from various monsters during Exorcisms, plus twenty silver coins.

Looking at these items, all Bizarre in nature, Chu Feng couldn't help but think of the Casting Spirit Scripture, which he had yet to use in this world. But these items came from Dark Creatures, Cults, or Hell itself...

What am I supposed to forge with these? Surely not a demonic artifact?

Mulling this over, Chu Feng started back the way he came.

A minute later, Chu Feng, as a streak of rainbow light, returned. Looking down at the ruins, he couldn't help but smack his forehead.

I almost forgot to collect the loot!

Chu Feng jumped straight down through the large hole in the ground. Looking at the ruins before him, he felt a stir of anticipation. A religion with a legacy spanning thousands of years should have some treasures, right?

After an inspection as thorough as a demolition, he finally found where the Yulei Sect stored its valuables: behind a massive Hexagram. However, aside from a pile of religious scriptures useless to Chu Feng, only a few solid gold blocks and three chests cast from gold piqued his interest. The five solid gold blocks were all the same size, as if cast from a single mold. Each weighed about a ton. Now ownerless, Chu Feng gladly accepted them. With a wave of his hand, the five solid gold blocks vanished.

As for the three remaining gold chests, Chu Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. There seems to be something inside!

He casually wiped the thick dust from the nearest golden chest. A sudden clang from within made his fingers pause. Judging by the dust, the chest had clearly been there for a very long time. No ordinary creature could survive that long! Something moving, inside a gold chest… Chu Feng inevitably thought of another use for gold in this context. Is it what I think it is? I'll know once I open it!

Looking at the keyhole, Chu Feng smiled faintly. His open palm radiated a faint golden light as he thrust it into the lock. A tearing sound echoed as the golden chest was instantly punctured, creating a large hole. He ripped out the lock mechanism entirely.

The moment the lock was gone, the heavy lid was flung open by a powerful force. A dense, Bizarre aura instantly assaulted Chu Feng's senses.

Heh, just as I thought!

Chu Feng, already prepared, thrust out his right hand to meet it. The silver flame on his palm, initially like a candle flicker, swelled wildly as he infused it with True Yuan. In the blink of an eye, the flame enveloped the entire golden chest.

The Bizarre creature inside, just as it was about to roar in celebration of its newfound freedom, was engulfed by the surging silver flames.

"Damn it! What the hell is this?!" Its hoarse voice was thick with astonishment.

Clearly, this long-trapped Bizarre creature hadn't grasped how quickly things had changed. Are they just moving me to a new prison?

The next second, the Bizarre creature had no capacity to think about anything else. The searing pain of being burned alive instantly overwhelmed its senses. Engulfed in the scorching silver flames, all it could do was howl in agony.
