CHAPTER 1162: CHAPTER 1162 TRUE YANG MONSTER PATH

Hearing these two tragic cries, the martial artists around Lin Chen quickly became wary of each other and took a few steps back, preparing to defend themselves.

Indeed, before arriving here, everyone had the same goal and could live and die together.

But it’s different now. Everyone’s objectives have been achieved, and from now on, they become the strongest opponents, competing for treasures.

If everyone competes fairly and openly, that’s still acceptable.

But human nature can’t withstand tests, just like now, Heng Sanjin, to monopolize treasures, mercilessly killed the subordinates who had followed him for years.

Moreover, the people around came from different families. Although they just experienced life and death together, that was only temporary. The competition for treasures ahead is what everyone is most concerned about.

Everyone was worried that the person beside them might resort to ruthless means to compete for a magic treasure, even their own family members were not exceptions.

Lin Chen looked at everyone around him and silently became more vigilant towards them.

Since being tricked by Mu Qingxue back then, Lin Chen naturally became more cautious around people. If someone here wanted to deceive Lin Chen, they were mistaken.

However, with everyone so wary of each other, if they encounter demons again, it will be difficult to unite as before.

After all, with caution in their hearts, they can no longer give each other complete trust.

Everyone kept their guard up, slowly approaching the Golden Giant Coffin. Despite any danger, the treasure was too tempting for them to resist.

Boom—

Rumble—

However, just as everyone was about to approach the Golden Giant Coffin, an enormously loud sound suddenly emanated from beneath the coffin, followed by a powerful aura that erupted from the coffin’s opening.

Feeling this powerful aura, everyone’s expressions changed, showing confusion and fear.

"This power definitely doesn’t belong to Heng Sanjin. Everyone be careful, don’t go down yet."

Lin Chen’s perception was the keenest, immediately realizing that this power didn’t belong to Heng Sanjin, and promptly warned everyone.

However, in the face of such a treasure, everyone was determined to get it, so they wouldn’t listen to Lin Chen, assuming he was intentionally delaying them.

So at that moment, no one would listen to Lin Chen, and a few martial artists from Xindi Water City directly leaped toward the giant coffin.

"Fools, everyone retreat, don’t go near."

Seeing those martial artists from Xindi Water City leap into the giant coffin, Lin Chen immediately told Su Yun and the others.

For Lin Chen’s words, Su Yun, and the people of the Su and Yang Families naturally followed.

Subsequently, the people from the Su and Yang Families immediately followed Lin Chen in retreating, as they also sensed the unusual aura beneath the giant coffin.

"Ah..."

Just after Lin Chen told the people from the Su and Yang Families to stay away, a series of screams echoed from beneath the giant coffin once again.

Hearing these miserable cries, everyone shivered with fear. They couldn’t understand what kind of powerful existence was beneath the giant coffin that could cause martial artists to scream so miserably.

Roar—

Just as everyone was puzzled about what had happened, Heng Sanjin suddenly flew out from the giant coffin.

But at this moment, the aura emanating from Heng Sanjin was extremely strange and powerful!

Indeed, even the aura of a real Creation Realm Expert couldn’t compare to his current state.

Could it be that Heng Sanjin gained such a great fortune in the short span of a half cup of tea since entering the coffin that he became this strong?

"Haha, ten thousand years have passed, and human greed never changes, allowing the Stone Mansion I set up to play its role, successfully aiding my resurrection."

Heng Sanjin, after flying out of the giant coffin, hovered in the air looking down at everyone with an extremely elated smile.

His face was filled with immense confidence, as if everything was under his control.

"Something’s off, you’re not Heng Sanjin, who are you?"

Lin Chen could see right away that the person before him was not Heng Sanjin, but someone who had taken over his body.

Heng Sanjin wasn’t just anyone, and the person before them could take over his body so quickly, must have been powerful, at least when he was alive.

"You indeed have good eyes for a junior. I am not Heng Sanjin but am known as Immortal Zhen Yang. A full ten thousand years have passed, so presumably, no one in Cloud Dragon Kingdom remembers my name."

"But it doesn’t matter. It won’t be long before my name shakes the Central State."

Heng Sanjin reached to stroke his chin, intending to touch his beard, but found that his newly acquired body was that of a middle-aged man without facial hair.

"So it’s you, the fiend who, a thousand years ago, was listed as a national enemy by Cloud Dragon Kingdom and perpetually wanted!"

"This fiend committed all sorts of evil a thousand years ago, burning, killing, and looting. To practice Evil Techniques, he violated and kidnapped many women, causing harm to countless Sect girls, even the daughter of the king of Cloud Dragon Kingdom at the time wasn’t spared."

Yang Minghui said, looking at Heng Sanjin with extreme hatred.

Although Heng Sanjin’s actions didn’t directly harm her, her nature detests such people.

In fact, when everyone first encountered the Spring Poison within the Wine Curse Lotus, Yang Minghui felt something was amiss.

If a normal predecessor left behind treasures and ruins for inheritance, it’s acceptable to set up some mechanisms to test successors, but how could they create such evil Spring Poison?

But Yang Minghui didn’t think of this True Yang Monster Path at the time.

However, now that the Old Man Zhen Yang had announced his name, even though he called himself some kind of "True Man," Yang Minghui immediately thought of him.

"Old Man Zhen Yang, you are truly shameless, even daring to call yourself a Taoist. What a disgrace."

Even though Yang Minghui usually had manners, she couldn’t suppress her anger at this moment and scolded Old Man Zhen Yang.

Lin Chen was speechless seeing this, he didn’t expect Yang Minghui to have such a side.

"Little Lady, you’re looking for death, and I shall fulfill it for you."

True Yang Monster Path’s Zhen Yang sneered menacingly at Yang Minghui, eyes filled with icy intent and contemplation as to why Yang Minghui, disguised as a man, might actually be a great beauty.
