Chapter 399 308: Cowardice

Ji Chong was taken aback for a moment by Han Yuan's words.

Then he started to reason things out.

'First, as a vital area for the Sect, the weapons vault would naturally be isolated from the common areas.'

'But it usually wouldn't be too far from the Sect. That way, they could rush over in time if anything happened.'

'And it must be in a well-hidden location.'

After listening quietly, Han Yuan smiled and said, "So, the Forging Soldiers Sect's weapons vault must be nearby. Let's start by having a look around."

Ji Chong thought for a moment, then nodded. "Alright. But it would be better to split up. It'll be more efficient."

Han Yuan said, "No problem. You take the east, I'll take the west."

Having reached an agreement, the two went their separate ways within the Forging Soldiers Sect, searching for the weapons vault.

MEOW~

"I think I know where the place you're looking for is."

The Orange Cat suddenly spoke up after seeing Ji Chong leave.

"Fat Thief, you can sense it?!"

Han Yuan asked in surprise.

He knew the Fat Thief was particularly sensitive to the aura of Evil Demon Seeds, but he never expected it could find treasure too.

"Mmm... This Lord Meow seems to be able to sense something."

The Orange Cat was a little puzzled as well.

It had a very special intuition that seemed to be telling it where treasure was.

An intuition it had never had before.

"It seems that after you gained the ability to transform, you also acquired some special talents," Han Yuan guessed.

This was a pleasant surprise.

After all, as long as the Orange Cat's intuition was correct, he could save a lot of time.

MEOW~~

The Orange Cat began to lead the way for Han Yuan.

The man and cat quickly moved away from the Forging Soldiers Sect, and before long, they arrived before a bare cliff face.

"I can feel it," the Orange Cat said gravely. "There's a powerful Evil Qi hidden within this cliff."

"In that case, the weapons vault must be hidden inside this cliff."

Han Yuan nodded.

He thought for a moment, then began to search the cliff face.

Before long, he found a well-hidden entrance.

However, Han Yuan didn't rush in. Instead, he unleashed his aura.

His vast and ferocious Innate Great Demon True Qi shot into the sky, forming an illusory black pillar of light.

A short while later, Ji Chong rushed over.

"You found it?"

Ji Chong looked very surprised. He hadn't expected Han Yuan to find the weapons vault so quickly.

"Mhm... It should be in here."

Han Yuan pointed to the hidden entrance in front of them.

When Ji Chong saw the terrain, it perfectly matched his earlier deductions. He was now almost certain this was the place.

He said gravely, "Then let's go in and check it out."

This was exactly what Han Yuan had been waiting to hear.

The entrance was very narrow, only wide enough for one person, so Han Yuan went first with Ji Chong following behind.

After passing through the narrow passage, Han Yuan saw a huge iron gate.

The iron gate was about five or six meters high, its surface densely engraved with Array Patterns, giving it an indestructible feel.

"They must have had Abnormal People engrave runes on this gate. Even if we were to attack it head-on, we probably couldn't break through."

Ji Chong's brow furrowed slightly as he looked at the iron gate.

"Let me try."

Han Yuan was not about to come all this way for nothing.

With the weapons vault right in front of him, he had to give it a try, no matter what.

He took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and condensed his Innate Great Demon Qi before unleashing a powerful punch.

BOOM!!!

His fist slammed violently against the iron gate.

The runes engraved on the iron gate began to flicker.

Han Yuan immediately felt his power being invisibly dissipated.

It was like punching a massive, thick sponge.

"This gate..."

Han Yuan's brow furrowed.

That punch made him realize something.

'With my current strength, I'm afraid I really won't be able to shatter this gate.'

'Even if Ji Chong and I attack together, the chances are slim.'

Ji Chong said helplessly, "It looks like our only option is to find an Abnormal Person and see if they can gradually break down the runes on this gate."

Han Yuan was naturally not content with that.

Who knew how much time would be wasted waiting to find an Abnormal Person.

'And I'm so close to finding the Gold Evil.'

Just as he was about to throw another punch...

RUMBLE!!

The iron gate began to open on its own.

This sight left both Han Yuan and Ji Chong stunned.

They had just been racking their brains over how to open the gate, only for it to open by itself.

"Be careful."

"This is probably a trap to lure us inside," Ji Chong warned.

Anything this unusual had to be a trap.

Han Yuan nodded to show he understood.

Once the iron gate had opened a crack wide enough for a person to pass through, he darted inside.

Ji Chong followed closely behind.

As soon as he entered the gate, Han Yuan felt a wave of sharp, cutting Evil Qi wash over him.

He looked up.

Dozens of Divine Blades floated in mid-air.

Sabers, spears, swords, halberds... all kinds of Weapons were there, each one radiating a powerful aura.

At that moment, the Heaven-Defying Saber on Han Yuan's back seemed to be provoked, and it erupted with a massive wave of Sword Evil.

Han Yuan didn't even have time to stop it.

Sensing the Heaven-Defying Saber's provocation, the Divine Blades within the vault all unleashed their own auras in response!

There is no first among scholars, and no second among warriors!

These Divine Blades had long since developed a sliver of sentience.

Provoked by the Heaven-Defying Saber, none were willing to submit to its dominance.

Waves of sharp Evil Qi collided and exploded in the air.

All the Divine Blades were stirred into a frenzy.

The Heaven-Defying Saber flew into the air, its ferocious Sword Soul instantly materializing and clashing repeatedly with the sharp Evil Qi radiating from the other Divine Blades.

"This is it!"

Han Yuan's face lit up with excitement.
