Xu Nian naturally couldn''t believe the words of the demoness before him. In her eyes, he was nothing more than a juicy piece of meat. If he were truly delivered to her mouth, would she not eat him?

    "Alright, enough teasing. Let''s focus on the matter at hand. You killed Yuan Xiong, and the Ouyang Family will discover this very soon. Within two hours, their people will arrive," Lin Ruolan said with a charming smile before turning and walking towards the back mountain.

    "Yuan Xiong was clearly killed by you!" Xu Nian cursed inwardly, but still, he followed her.

    It was said that hidden within this mine in the back mountain lay a Saint Tomb. Whether it was true or not remained to be seen.

    Xu Nian also wanted to discover the truth, as a Saint Tomb represented an immense opportunity.

    The strong men from the back mountain had also escaped since there was no one guarding them anymore.

    It wouldn''t be long before the news that Qingliang Mountain had a large Xuan Iron Vein would leak.

    Of course, before that, Xu Nian had already sent Yan Wu to Tianfeng City to inform the Prefectural Governor Chen Tiansheng. By now, the Governor Mansion''s people must be on their way.

    Yan Wu had been severely poisoned and threatened before, without conclusive evidence.

    Now that his poison was cured and his Cultivation had broken through, added to Ouyang Long''s personal confirmation, there were no more concerns.

    However, the Governor Mansion was not close to Yu State, and even by riding Flying Demon Beasts, it would take at least one day for a round trip.

    Since only over half a day had passed, Xu Nian still had to endure for nearly half a day more.

    Soon after, Xu Nian and Lin Ruolan arrived at the back mountain.

    Because of the exploitation of the Xuan Iron Mine, the belly of the mountain had been transformed into a huge cave, with thousands of mining tunnels inside, interconnected and easy to get lost in.

    But Lin Ruolan seemed to have travelled this route many times and led Xu Nian through the mining tunnels toward the depths of the mountain.

    "Is there really a Saint''s tomb buried in this mountain?" Xu Nian asked.

    "Yes!" Lin Ruolan answered straightforwardly, "Yuan Xiong took me to the tomb once before, so I secretly remembered this route."

    "If the Ouyang Family already discovered this Saint Tomb, why didn''t they excavate it themselves?" Xu Nian continued to inquire.

    "They can''t get in. There''s a tomb gate weighing a hundred thousand catties, and extremely hard at that. Naturally, they can''t enter," Lin Ruolan replied.

    "A hundred thousand catties?" Xu Nian was shocked internally. What kind of strength would be needed to move a tomb gate that heavy?

    "But..."

    "We''ve arrived!"

    The eyes of the dragon on the pattern lit up, and the whole dragon seemed to come to life. Then, the massive gate, weighing tens of thousands of pounds, slowly rose under Xu Nian''s astonished gaze.

    As the massive gate opened, they were greeted with the sight of an enormous palace.

    Xu Nian and Lin Ruolan stepped inside, the palace exuding an ancient air.

    In the center of the palace, there lay a Stone Coffin, carved with ancient dragon patterns, emanating an aura of both antiquity and majesty.

    In addition, there were many swords inserted around the area, nearly all of which were Xuan Iron Swords.

    A look of surprise appeared on Xu Nian''s face. Each of these Xuan Iron Swords could be worth nearly ten thousand Gold Coins, and there were definitely no fewer than a hundred here.

    "Stop looking, these are all useless. The real treasures are inside the Stone Coffin," Lin Ruolan said.

    She then walked directly to the coffin, pushed open the lid of the Stone Coffin.

    As soon as the lid was opened, a surge of Dragon Energy shot up into the sky.

    Xu Nian was startled and looked into the coffin.

    Inside the coffin, there were no saintly remains as he had imagined, but there was a piece of Purple Gold Soft Armor and a Dragon-shaped Jade Seal, and the Dragon Energy had just burst forth from the Jade Seal.

    "Could this be armor crafted from some exceptional metal?" Xu Nian''s face revealed an extremely shocked expression.

    Exceptional metals were already very rare, and yet someone had used it to forge such a precious piece of Soft Armor.

    "That''s right, it''s armor refined from Purple Gold Phoenix Iron, but this Jade Seal is also extraordinarily special. It''s crafted with the blood of a Nine-headed Green Dragon and also carries the Fortune of the last dynasty that lasted a thousand years," Lin Ruolan explained.

    "A Nine-headed Green Dragon, isn''t that an offspring of the Taichu Dragon? And a dynasty''s thousand years of Fortune? Could this be the Emperor Seal of the previous dynasty?" Xu Nian''s heartbeat immediately quickened.

    "It''s not the real Emperor Seal, just a replica, but its power is also extremely formidable. This Jade Seal and those useless swords are yours, and I will take the Soft Armor,"

    Lin Ruolan tossed the Jade Seal to Xu Nian and bit her own finger, letting her fresh blood drip onto the Soft Armor.

    Weapons forged from exceptional metals could undergo blood recognition by their owner, and as Lin Ruolan willed it, the Soft Armor was already being worn against her body.

    Xu Nian had no objections to this, although he also coveted the Soft Armor.

    However, relatively speaking, the Jade Seal held greater value for him, as it contained the bloodline of the descendants of the Gray Dragon.

    However, Lin Ruolan, now clad in the Purple Gold Soft Armor, was likely to be very difficult to kill, not just by a Battle General Level expert, but even Marquis Level powerhouses might find it challenging.

    Armor forged from an exceptional metal could cover every inch of the skin on the body.
