And just as Lin Feng had predicted, the follow-up battle within the Golden Body Sect's territory played out exactly the same.
Because most of the sect's Elders had already been wiped out earlier by Lin Feng and his group, the remaining resistance now was made up almost entirely of Dou Huang and below cultivators.
As for Dou Zong, there were only a handful of low-star genius disciples left. But before Lin Feng's group, these people were instantly slain, without even the slightest chance to fight back.
"Speak, where is the treasury where you store your items?"
After advancing a bit further, the Sand Land Golden-Tailed Scorpion Clan's clan leader spotted a Golden Body Sect core disciple, immediately grabbing him and forcing the question out.
"There... over there."
The disciple's gaze swept over the group of Dou Zong experts, and after hesitating for a moment, he trembled as he pointed in a direction.
"Let's go, and take this one with us."
Lin Feng waved his hand as he looked toward the direction the man had pointed, speaking to the others. Then, he and Xiao Yixian took the lead and walked ahead.
The others quickly followed suit, including the Sand Land Golden-Tailed Scorpion Clan clan leader, who was still carrying the Golden Body Sect disciple in one hand.
Not long after, Lin Feng's group arrived before a majestic golden palace gate. Their gazes swept across the structure and saw that, just like the other buildings, the entire palace was built from golden bricks and stone.
However, unlike the others, this palace had no windows at all. Other than the thick and heavy gate made of the same stone, there was no other exit. By the roadside in front of the palace, a sign stood that read: "Restricted Area of the Sect. No Entry without Token."
But when Lin Feng and the others looked at the palace before them, their faces were all filled with doubt.
This was the Golden Body Sect's treasury? It looked way too careless.
To put it out here in the open like this... weren't they afraid of being robbed?
"This is indeed our Golden Body Sect's treasury. I'm telling the truth, now you can let me go, right?"
The core disciple, who was only at mid-level Dou Huang, looked at them with fearful eyes, his voice trembling.
"Of course. We'll let you go... straight to hell!"
As soon as the words fell, the Sand Land Golden-Tailed Scorpion Clan's clan leader raised his hand and slapped it down on the disciple's head. Under the strike of a Nine-Star Dou Zong, the man's head instantly exploded like a watermelon.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng carefully observed the palace.
Very soon, with his powerful soul perception, he noticed something amiss.
At this point, he already had a rough idea why the Golden Body Sect wasn't worried about their treasury being robbed. Because faintly, he could sense the presence of a powerful spatial force surrounding the palace.
If he guessed correctly, it should be some kind of technique the Golden Body Sect's Sect Master had placed here, to prevent anyone from stealing.
If they simply walked in, there was an eighty to ninety percent chance they'd trigger those hidden methods. And the thing that could avoid triggering it was likely the "token" mentioned on the sign.
"Master Lin, should we go into the treasury now?"
Seeing Lin Feng still standing in place, the Sand Land Golden-Tailed Scorpion Clan's clan leader stepped forward and asked.
"Throw the corpse over there and try it."
Hearing the question, Lin Feng turned and glanced at the body in his hand.
"Alright."
Although the Sand Land Golden-Tailed Scorpion Clan's clan leader was confused, he still tossed the corpse toward the palace. The moment the body got close, the space around the palace suddenly twisted violently.
"Boom!"
With a muffled explosion, the corpse was instantly blown into countless bits of bloody mist.
"Hiss~"
Seeing this, everyone present couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.
After all, they were magic beasts, not skilled in using spatial forces. This kind of situation was also something they were encountering for the very first time.
At this moment, they finally understood why the Golden Body Sect was never afraid of anyone stealing from their treasury.
With such a method in place, the weak could never steal it, and the strong could simply take it by force.
Looked at this way, the Golden Body Sect really had no need to hide their treasury in some secret location.
After all, there weren't many people who could actually steal anything from within. Take them for example, if they hadn't been warned just now and had recklessly stepped forward, their outcome would probably have been no different from that corpse.
That terrifying spatial forces... even a peak Dou Zong expert might not survive it. As for the rest of them, there was no chance at all.
"Didn't expect you all to find the Golden Body Sect's treasury so quickly."
At that moment, Tian Huo Zun Zhe's voice suddenly sounded behind the group.
Hearing the voice, everyone instantly turned around. They saw Tian Huo Zun Zhe together with the Golden-Tailed Scorpion Clan's Grand Elder, arriving at some unknown time.
In Tian Huo Zun Zhe's hand, he was carrying a burly corpse over two meters tall. The group's eyes narrowed slightly, and they quickly realized it was none other than the Golden Body Sect's Sect Master.
Seeing this, everyone's expression carried a trace of emotion. Just earlier, this Two-Star Dou Zun expert had been alive and vigorous, yet now, upon meeting again, he had already become a cold corpse.
Lin Feng looked at the Golden Body Sect's Sect Master who had turned into a corpse, but didn't find it surprising at all.
If Tian Huo Zun Zhe and the Golden-Tailed Scorpion Clan's Grand Elder joined forces and still couldn't take down a Two-Star Dou Zun Sect Master, now that would be strange.
"Here, this corpse is yours."
As Tian Huo Zun Zhe approached the group, he casually lifted his arm and tossed the body over to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng hurriedly caught the Golden Body Sect's Sect Master's corpse. First, he looked at the body in his hands with satisfaction.
After all, a corpse of such a high-level expert was not easy to come by. Then, with practiced ease, he stripped off the storage ring from the corpse's finger and tucked it away in his chest.
Finally, he threw the body into the Serene Sea Storage Ring.
As for the many Dou Zong of the Sand Land Golden-Tailed Scorpion Clan, they all looked on with greedy eyes as Lin Feng put away the golden storage ring.
After all, who wouldn't want the storage ring of a Dou Zun expert?
After putting away the storage ring, Lin Feng turned toward Tian Huo Zun Zhe and said, "Elder Yao, this treasury has powerful spatial seals. I'll have to trouble you to break it open."
Although the Golden-Tailed Scorpion Clan's Grand Elder was also a Dou Zun expert, they were magic beasts. Even as Dou Zun, their control over spatial forces was comparatively weak.
So relying on Tian Huo Zun Zhe, a genuine human Dou Zun, was far more reliable.
"No problem."
Tian Huo Zun Zhe smiled easily, stretched out his arm, and clenched his hand toward the void. The space around the great hall ahead suddenly began to collapse violently with his movement.
"Bang!"
A crisp shattering sound suddenly rang in everyone's ears.
