Chapter 224: Chapter 153: You Can’t Kill Me, I Am the Saint Heir of the White Bone Sect

And as expected, the Heaven-Burning Fiend didn’t disappoint, at least doubling the power of the Red Flame Radiance.

A twofold increase might not seem like much, but with the added amplification from Featherweight, the total boost was a full twenty times.

In a one-on-one duel, this single strike would have been enough to decide the outcome.

Of course, Xiao Chen was currently facing three Demon Cultivators, and they possessed three Defense-Type Top Grade Magical Artifacts.

Therefore, he never expected to shatter all their Top Grade Magical Artifacts with this one move alone.

Instead, while the three below huddled together to defend themselves, he took the opportunity to retrieve his Ice Sword from his Storage Bag and set up the Small Three Talents Sword Formation.

The rest of the battle was completely devoid of suspense.

Suppressed by the Sword Array, the Lv Brother and Sister were completely powerless to fight back.

They could only watch helplessly as Xiao Chen switched between Sword Techniques, using them as human Sword Testing Stones. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Although the Lv siblings protected Xiang Qirui, keeping him between them, he could see the situation was dire.

While using his Bone Shield to take some of the pressure, he shouted a threat, "You can’t kill me! I am the Saint Heir of the White Bone Sect."

"I’m warning you, I don’t care who you are or what your background is. If you dare to harm me today, the Sect Leader will never let you get away with it!"

Xiang Qirui revealed his identity, attempting to use the name of the White Bone Sect to threaten Xiao Chen into backing down.

’The Saint Heir of the White Bone Sect?’

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen understood.

He had been a little curious. The Lv siblings were clearly at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, so why were they so concerned with a mere Foundation Establishment stage six Cultivator?

Their attitude even seemed somewhat reverent.

’So Xiang Qirui is also a Saint Heir. That explains it.’

’Wait a minute,’ a thought suddenly flashed through Xiao Chen’s mind.

’If that’s the case, could the map I seized earlier have been a plot by the Divine Fire Sect to have someone else do their dirty work?’

’Why else would a Skull have been specifically marked on it?’

’Considering the weakness of those three incompetent Foundation Establishment cultivators, this was clearly an intentional message for the Lingyuan Sect.’

But Xiao Chen didn’t care about Xiang Qirui’s status as the Saint Heir of the White Bone Sect, much less fear his threats.

The reason was simple. He had learned from a casual chat with Chang Shunping that the White Bone Sect had no Golden Core True Man, making them a pushover ripe for the picking.

Therefore, not only was he unafraid of the White Bone Sect’s retaliation, he actually hoped their people would come for him—the sooner and the more, the better.

Xiao Chen even wished the White Bone Sect would come out in full force, all descending on Qingyang to avenge their Saint Heir, Xiang Qirui.

It would save him the trouble of having to hunt them down later.

For that reason, no matter how the three below threatened and cursed him, Xiao Chen didn’t waver in the slightest. He activated the Small Three Talents Sword Formation and annihilated all three of them.

Then, he collected their three Storage Bags.

.

"Not bad, not bad. It’s a golden bamboo branch hairpin. This style should sell easily."

Xiao Chen picked up the golden hairpin Lv Huiqing had dropped, then turned to the Snakebone Spear, which had reverted to its base form.

Since he had intentionally avoided damaging them, both Top Grade Magical Artifacts were basically unscathed.

Considering the Snakebone Spear could be used to tie up an enemy’s magical artifacts, he would definitely keep it for his own use.

Thus, the other item, the golden bamboo branch hairpin, being a purely Attack-Type Magical Artifact, could be sold for Spirit Stones.

After all, Xiao Chen already had enough Top Grade Magical Artifacts. He didn’t have enough Magical Power to wield any more.

He might as well turn the extra ones into Spirit Stones or trade them directly for other cultivation resources.

He swept through the village one last time, confirming there were no survivors and no forgotten Spiritual Objects.

He also cleaned up the scene, erasing all traces of the Sword Array.

Only then did Xiao Chen head back to the Qingyang Spirit Ore mine.

Since it was relatively close, his secret trip had only taken six hours in total.

The Cultivators at the mine didn’t even know he had left.

Then, he struck the Spirit Ore mine’s warning bell, faking a Demon Cultivator attack.

He then ran out and put on a show of fighting the air, intentionally blasting a patch of forest with a Li Huo Thunder.

He followed up with a Profound Fire Crow’s Luotian True Fire to fabricate the scene of a fierce battle.

He then returned and announced that he had just discovered Demon Cultivators attempting to invade the mine, but that he had already successfully dealt with them.

He went through the motions one more time to make his story convincing.

Only then did Xiao Chen return to his courtyard and begin the Refinement of the three Storage Bags he had acquired.

This time, he was even more practiced at breaking the Restrictions on the Storage Bags, finishing a full Quarter Hour faster than before.

"Holy cow, that’s a lot of Spirit Stones!"

His Divine Sense swept over them. The three Storage Bags contained a grand total of twenty-seven thousand Spirit Stones.

The Saint Heir’s Storage Bag alone held a full twenty-one thousand.

In addition, Xiao Chen found seven brand-new Upper Grade Magical Artifacts, all of which were of exceptional quality.

If he sold them, he estimated the seven Upper Grade Magical Artifacts could fetch over twenty thousand Spirit Stones combined.

"This guy wasn’t a Saint Heir, he was a Money-Sending Boy."

"I wonder how many Saint Heirs the White Bone Sect has. It’d be nice to run into a couple more."

Xiao Chen counted the Spirit Stones again to confirm the amount, then moved on to inspect his other loot.

First was a complete Earth Level inheritance, accompanied by as many as six Earth Level Magic techniques.

Furthermore, they were all secret Cultivation Techniques of the White Bone Sect, the kind that ordinary Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators couldn’t access. One could only obtain them as a reward after accumulating enough Merit.
