Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 292 Greed
When Gu Xiaoxing heard Pan Changjin's words, he curled his lips and didn't take it seriously.
If this was said to other people, it might scare a few people, but for Gu Xiaoxing, it had no effect at all.
What happened to Xuantian Palace?
My father-in-law is the Lord of Xuantian Palace!
"Whose orders did you receive from Xuantian Palace, and what are you doing in Xiaohuangdi?" Gu Xiaoxing continued to interrogate.
"Don't ask too many questions that are not yours," Pan Changjin said in a calm voice.
Gu Xiaoxing nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then I won't ask."
Pan Changjin was stunned. He didn't expect the other party to be so easy to talk to. But when he saw the fierceness in Gu Xiaoxing's eyes, he immediately understood what the other party wanted to do and hurriedly said, "I'll tell you...I'll tell you!"
Gu Xiaoxing then relaxed his urging of Diao Tian and said, "I didn't ask you. This is what you want to say. Go ahead!"
Pan Changjin's eyes flashed with struggle, but he finally said, "I am here on the orders of Xuantian Palace... to deliver a letter!"
Gu Xiaoxing looked at him coldly and said, "I'll ask you one last time, whose orders are you following?"
"I don't know. I only know that he is someone from Xuantian Palace. I am just an outer disciple of Xuantian Palace." Pan Changjin said immediately.
"Where's the letter?"
"In my storage ring."
Gu Xiaoxing glanced at the storage ring on Pan Changjin's hand, but did not take it off. Instead, he asked again, "Where are you going to send the letter?"
“I don’t know…!”
"Are you kidding me?" Gu Xiaoxing glared at him, ready to explode.
"No, no!" Pan Changjin explained hurriedly, "This is a special letter. You only need to come to the small wasteland to activate the magic circle on the letter, and the letter will naturally go to where it should go. The writer must not want others to know about this and did it on purpose. So, I don't know where this letter will be sent to."
Gu Xiaoxing had not expected that there was such a way to send a letter. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Since the letter is still in your storage ring, why are you running here instead of activating the magic circle to send the letter?"
Pan Changjin seemed to have given up resistance and answered truthfully: "Originally, I was going to go back immediately after delivering the letter, but when I came here, I suddenly sensed the spirit of this mountain. I was curious and came here to inspect it. Then you came..."
"Really?" Gu Xiaoxing didn't comment, and glanced at the sea of fire not far away. "Then why did you go down into the sea of fire? Or, what did you discover?"
These words made Pan Changjin's eyes stagnate, and then he said helplessly: "It seems that I can't hide it from you, fellow Taoist. Yes, I did get a treasure from under this sea of fire..."
Seeing that Gu Xiaoxing had no reaction, Pan Changjin had to continue, "Demons are a kind of strange creatures in the world, especially demons like mountain demons that were born from ancient existences. They often give birth to some strange things. Under this sea of fire, a congenital spiritual talisman was born!"
"Innate Spirit Talisman? Where is it?"
Pan Changjin was silent for a moment, then looked at Gu Xiaoxing with a frank and helpless look, and said: "It's in the storage ring. I am willing to give this talisman to you. I just hope you can let me go so that I can complete the mission and return to Xuantian Palace to report!"
Gu Xiaoxing looked straight into Pan Changjin's eyes, trying to tell how much truth or falsehood there were in his words, but he couldn't see any clues. Then, he shifted his gaze to the storage ring in his hand again and slowly reached out his hand.
At this moment, there was a barely detectable gleam of brilliance in the depths of Pan Changjin's eyes, and he discovered that Gu Xiaoxing's hand, which was about to take off the ring, suddenly stopped, which made Pan Changjin stunned.
Gu Xiaoxing slowly withdrew his hand, looked at Pan Changjin with a half-smile, and said, "If I remember correctly, this is the second time you have tricked me into taking your storage ring, right? Could it be that you want to set a trap for me?!"
Pan Changjin reacted quickly. The disappointment in the depths of his eyes immediately disappeared and turned into confusion, with a look full of puzzlement.
"What are you saying? Who would set a trap on their storage ring? Moreover, my body and cultivation are completely sealed now. I am already your prey. If you are really worried, you can relax the sealing force a little bit, and I will personally remove it for you."
"good!"
Gu Xiaoxing said yes, but suddenly urged Diaotian. In an instant, the big hook that was inserted into Pan Changjin's body burst into dazzling golden light, and countless spikes had protruded.
Pan Changjin's expression changed drastically. He didn't expect that the other party would not be fooled at all. When he found out something was wrong, he actually attacked directly. Gu Xiaoxing guessed correctly. The storage ring did have a trap. Except for Pan Changjin himself, anyone who touched it would trigger a violent impact.
But Pan Changjin didn't know that Gu Xiaoxing was not just guessing. He had been fooled once before when he was in Lei Yuntian. A white ape was still able to take over a person's body with the help of a storage ring thousands of years after its death. How could Gu Xiaoxing not be on guard?
So he secretly used the secret method of the Heavenly Eye, and found something wrong at a glance, so he killed the man without hesitation.
An extremely strong breath of death was approaching. At this critical moment, Pan Changjin tried his best and tried his best. Finally, before he was pierced by countless barbs, he condensed a trace of cultivation power and activated the storage ring in his hand on his own.
The next moment, the Sky Fishing Hook exploded in Pan Changjin's body, and countless golden barbs pierced him completely. The storage ring activated by him also vibrated suddenly, and an extremely powerful impact force went straight to Gu Xiaoxing.
Pan Changjin looked forward excitedly with the last glimmer of hope. In his perception, even if Gu Xiaoxing was holding a top-grade spiritual treasure, his cultivation level was only in the late Jindan stage and he would definitely not be able to withstand this attack.
As long as he could kill Gu Xiaoxing with this strike and make the magic treasure lose its power, even if Pan Changjin was seriously injured at this moment, as long as he didn't die, he could be saved, and even get a top-grade magic treasure!
This was also the reason why Pan Changjin was willing to take the risk to lure Gu Xiaoxing into a trap. Top-grade spiritual treasures were so rare that his greed was almost uncontrollable.
Otherwise, if it was just to survive from the other party, there were better ways for Pan Changjin to do it.
But when the nine seas in Gu Xiaoxing's body rose up and spread all over his body in an instant, easily resisting the impact that was enough to easily kill a person who had reached the great perfection of the Jindan stage, Pan Changjin was stunned.
It was not until this time that Pan Changjin understood why Gu Xiaoxing showed no fear when he saw him, because the other party not only possessed top-grade spiritual treasures, but also had amazing combat power!
Gu Xiaoxing looked at Pan Changjin calmly and said, "Originally, for the sake of my father-in-law, I could have spared your life, but since you want to die, you can't blame anyone else."
father in law?
Pan Changjin's vitality was fading away like crazy, and it ran out in the blink of an eye. One last thought arose in his mind, and he used up his last bit of vitality to mutter his last words!
"Who is your father-in-law?"
Gu Xiaoxing waved his hand and said proudly: "My father-in-law is none other than the Palace Master of your Xuantian Palace, Dongfang...!"
Gu Xiaoxing felt like there was something stuck in his throat and he still couldn't call out the name. Just at this moment, Pan Changjin had also died, his eyes full of shock and he died with his eyes open!
