Zhang Chen hid in the shadows, observing the events, and did not pursue the hundreds of mysterious figures escaping. Their speed was too fast for Zhang Chen to catch up, besides he knew what was truly valuable: the items within the Princess's coffin were the real treasures.

"Something's off. If the seal has been broken, why hasn't the Cursed Demon God appeared?" A sense of unease gripped Zhang Chen's heart. "Could it really be as the Great Freedom Celestial Demon said, that the body of the Cursed Demon God escaped using numerous strange distractions?"

Zhang Chen's mind ran through countless scenarios, concluding that this was highly likely.

Then Zhang Chen quietly hid in a corner, waiting for the right moment to snatch the treasures and gather the experience and skill points scattered on the ground.

"The treasure has emerged!"

At this moment, members of the various factions saw the mysterious emergence and pursued immediately, understanding that the treasures within the coffin were beyond their reach.

Instead, capturing even one of the mysterious entities flying out would be a significant achievement for them.

In the blink of an eye, everyone dispersed, leaving only nine people in the scene.

Zhang Xiaohua and Mr. Wuliu from Prince Pingbian's Mansion, along with Chen Xu, as well as Liu Lin, Chai Chuanxin, and Zhong Xiang, plus Liu Yang, Zhu Xia, and Wang Dan remained.

The scholars claimed six spots, while Prince Pingbian's Mansion occupied three spots.

"This doesn't look good!" Zhang Xiaohua's expression turned serious as he spoke to Mr. Wuliu.

Mr. Wuliu wasn't flustered at all and said, "No need to worry, I have my methods. Although we are few, these guys are not a concern to me."

"Mr. Chen, what's the current situation?" Mr. Wuliu inquired of Chen Xu.

"The seal is broken, in ten breaths, the Feng Shui Grand Array will collapse, and the guarding force on the coffin will disappear. Brother, please act quickly to seize that coffin." Chen Xu remarked.

At this moment, a deathly silence hung in the air, with everyone's eyes fixed on the direction of the coffin. Just as the tenth breath passed, a pillar of energy appeared above the coffin, connecting heaven and earth, with countless runes flickering on it. In the next moment, lightning and thunder struck the energy pillar, revealing cracks that spread, eventually shattering like glass, sending fragments shooting in all directions.

As the coffin disappeared, a stream of light shot out, attempting to escape.

"The treasure within the coffin is extraordinary and must not be allowed to escape." Fire from Zhong Xiang's body transformed into a large net, enveloping the radiance of that treasure.

The light seemed to possess spirituality, wriggling in the void like an eel, avoiding Zhong Xiang's fire net.

"Young Master Zhong Xiang, let me lend you a hand." Mr. Wuliu, also eager, released six streams of light from his sleeve, weaving a web towards the treasure light.

The net of sword light moved rapidly, trapping the treasure light, which collided directly into it.

"Hahaha, gentlemen, pardon me, but I'll claim the first prize!" Mr. Wuliu rejoiced in capturing the treasure, his eyes gleaming with excitement. No sooner had he spoken than Zhong Xiang's fire net collided, either intentionally or unintentionally, with Mr. Wuliu's sword net.

The treasure struggled inside, straining the sword net, and Zhong Xiang's fire net's impact shattered it. The treasure light burst forth like a spiritual snake.

"Zhong Xiang, you..." Mr. Wuliu was furious at this sight.

"An accident! An accident! Please forgive, sir. After all, I am young, with fewer years of cultivation than you, it's normal for me to lack control. You wouldn't blame me, would you?" Zhong Xiang said cheekily.

Internally, Zhong Xiang thought, "How satisfying! It's incredibly satisfying! The feeling of taking advantage of my youth is exhilarating! Previously, these guys would assert their seniority over me, but now, I must make them understand my prowess."

"You..." Mr. Wuliu couldn't bother with arguing and quickly maneuvered his sword light to cover the treasure, while Zhong Xiang continued to manipulate his fire net.

"Sir, why aren't we acting?" Zhu Xia asked impatiently, seeing the fight between the two and sensing the space for the treasure to maneuver was shrinking, his face showing urgency.

With a smile, Liu Lin said, "Let's first see their skills, shall we?"

He released a jade ruler from his hand, throwing it towards the treasure in the air.

Instantly, the three sides clashed mid-air, in a flurry of action.

In the corner, the stream of water embodying Zhang Chen 'watched' the continuous bursts of treasure light in the air, with curiosity in his eyes: "The treasure in that light seems to be a box. I wonder what great item 'Di' left behind back in the day! If I had known it earlier, I would have prepared a back door in advance, better than fighting for it now."

While he mused, suddenly the box in the air, after a flicker, flew away as if indeterminately, rushing straight into Chai Chuanxin's arms.

Chai Chuanxin was initially dumbfounded, then quickly realized, clutching the item in his arms without checking it and fleeing in the distance.

In his heart, Chai Chuanxin was delighted, tears of joy welling up. "So I am still Heaven's favorite child after all!"

Getting even one Mysterious is enough; he dared not be too greedy, for fear he wouldn't escape later.

Chai Chuanxin sprinted wildly, Mr. Wuliu's expression changed, and a sword light shot from his sleeve, aiming to kill Chai Chuanxin on the spot. At this moment, Liu Lin stepped forward, a jade ruler flashing in his sleeve to block the flying sword's path, sparks flying as they clashed in the dark. With this delay, Chai Chuanxin vanished into the darkness.

Everyone glanced at the fleeing Chai Chuanxin and then at the coffin, decisively giving up the chase, rushing towards the coffin instead.

The treasures within the coffin were of utmost importance!

Without mentioning anything else, the tree coffin's value alone surpassed all other treasures.

Zhong Xiang and Mr. Wuliu turned toward the tree coffin, immediately clashing. Zhong Xiang transformed into a Flame Giant, while Mr. Wuliu wielded nine streams of sword light, constantly opposing Zhong Xiang, piercing his body repeatedly, engaging in intense combat.

Meanwhile, Liu Lin, Liu Yang, Zhang Xiaohua, and others didn't remain idle, racing toward the coffin with speed.

In the corner, the stream of water embodying Zhang Chen glanced at the tree coffin and the dueling Zhong Xiang and Mr. Wu, knowing the battle wouldn't end soon. He quickly transformed into a stream of water, pursuing Chai Chuanxin.

Zhang Chen felt unbalanced, questioning why Chai Chuanxin was so lucky to have the treasure from the tomb voluntarily recognize him. What kind of luck was this?

He thought he, Zhang Chen, was supposed to be the protagonist, right?

The water stream of Zhang Chen went unnoticed, everyone's attention focused on the coffin. Once he moved out of their sight, he transformed into a Vampire Bat, vanishing into the darkness.

In the darkness, Chai Chuanxin ran swiftly, touching the item in his sleeve, his heart pounding wildly, with a look of disbelief in his eyes. He never thought he could be so lucky, having treasure delivered directly to him.
