White mist surged, Sky Luo Ghost charged straight at Mr Ghost who was flying over.
"Old ghost, give me your life!"
Mr Ghost frowned, this Sky Luo Ghost was his capable ghost servant, why would it attack him?
Was it being controlled?
How many more tricks does Su Chen have up his sleeves?
"Useless thing, go die!"
Mr Ghost was entangled by the Sky Luo Ghost, his speed was greatly reduced as he furiously turned around to attack the Sky Luo Ghost.
Su Chen took the chance to escape without a trace.
When Mr Ghost finished dealing with the Sky Luo Ghost, he had already lost sight of Su Chen's whereabouts. He was unable to restrain his anger as he roared, "Seal off the Nine Yin Mountain, don't let a single ant escape!"
… …
Su Chen did not run far, instead he used teleportation to return to the old house.
The most dangerous place was the safest place, this logic was often very useful.
Mr Ghost and his ghost servant were searching for Su Chen all over the mountain, the old house's defense was almost zero.
"This damned place, it's so eerie, I feel like my lifespan will be shortened if I stay here for even a second."
Su Chen shook his head as he rummaged through the old house.
Needless to say, this old man's family was quite rich, all sorts of rare herbs, poisonous herbs, everything was here. Su Chen did not avoid them as he collected all of them into his storage ring, filling it up in a short while.
There was also a large pile of notes, at least twenty million yuan.
After a round of looting, Su Chen suddenly heard movement from underground.
There's a cellar!
He followed the sound and found the entrance to the cellar, directly kicking open the iron door and walking in.
The cellar was even more eerie, it was pitch black, one could not even see their own fingers.
Su Chen activated the Long Yan Li on his body, releasing a golden light that lit up the cellar.
Raising his head, he saw dried up corpses hanging above his head.
"No offense, no offense …"
Su Chen cupped his hands and walked around the pile of corpses to the depths of the cellar, discovering that the sound came from a large black iron box.
Su Chen hesitated for a moment, then picked up the Yuchang Sword and pried open the metal box.
There was a rusty piece of metal inside, which was buzzing and trembling.
"What is this?"
Su Chen curiously picked up the piece of iron. At first glance, it looked like an ordinary piece of iron.
However, Su Chen revealed a look of surprise.
To his shock, he discovered that a large number of divine runes were carved on the metal plate!
If one wasn't a Divine Inscriptionist, they wouldn't be able to see these hidden Divine Imprints. However, Su Chen was still an elementary Divine Inscriptionist, and his senses towards these Divine Imprints were extremely sharp.
"It seems like … some kind of information was recorded using the Divine Runes."
Su Chen took a closer look and exclaimed in admiration at the skills of the Divine Inscriptionist.
Such a complicated Divine Inscription wasn't something a beginner level Divine Inscriptionist could create.
Only a high-grade Divine Runemaster, or even a grandmaster Divine Runemaster would be able to use such a technique.
However, even though Su Chen wasn't able to create such complicated runes, it was still relatively easy for him to decipher the contents of the runes.
"This is …"
After carefully reading the information recorded on the metal plate, Su Chen was shocked.
This metal plate was actually written by the first emperor of the Long Province!
That was Su Chen's ancestor!
It recorded something that shocked Su Chen very much.
2,700 years ago, the Su, Chu, Qin, Zhao, and Ning families entered Nanjiang and created the current prosperity of Nanjiang.
These five families were the oldest and most powerful families in Nanjiang. When the five ancestors entered Nanjiang, it was praised as a great merit that separated heaven and earth.
This was all written in the history books.
However, according to the facts recorded by the ancestors of the Su family on the metal plate, it was very different from what was recorded in the history books.
These five families didn't come to Nanjiang to develop.
Instead, they were exiled to Nanjiang!
Originally, there was no such thing as the five families. There were only five people who came to Nanjiang.
Su Yuan, Chu Xi, Qin Feng, Zhao Yu, and Ning Ze.
These five people came from the largest cultivation sect in the Xuanyuan Continent — the Divine Heavens Sect!
These five people were once high-ranking elders of the Divine Heavens Sect!
They were all top experts in the Sea Reincarnation Realm!
It was only because he had violated certain taboos that most of his cultivation was crippled. After he was expelled from the sect, he went into exile in the southern territory.
"Divine Heavens Sect, Sea Reincarnation Realm!"
Su Chen couldn't believe that the Nanjiang of the secular world actually hid such a secret.
However, this wasn't what shocked Su Chen the most.
After all, this was something that happened more than 2,000 years ago. In the current Xuanyuan Continent, except for a few old antiques, no one knew of the existence of these five people.
What shocked Su Chen the most was that there was a message recorded on the metal plate.
Back then, these five people's cultivation was abolished and they came to Nanjiang. The most fundamental reason was that they cultivated a cultivation technique that they shouldn't have cultivated.
The name of this cultivation technique was "Heaven's Punishment"!
Just from the name, one could tell how rebellious this cultivation technique was.
This was a cultivation technique that should have disappeared from the world. However, these five people, due to various reasons, chose to keep this cultivation technique.
In order to preserve this cultivation technique, they divided Heaven's Punishment into five parts, which were separated into five Heaven-class cultivation techniques.
"Dragon Blood Body Art"
"Heaven and Earth Art"
"Taiyi Black Art"
"Eightfold Sea Suppression Art"
"Primeval Sky Flipping Art"
These were the secret cultivation techniques of the five royal families of Long Province, Chu State, Qin State, Zhao State, and Ning State!
As long as someone could cultivate these five cultivation techniques to the peak, they would be able to gather all five cultivation techniques and restore Heaven's Punishment!
"Good lad, you actually hid here. You made me look for you!"
At this moment, Mr. Ghost barged into the cellar. He raised a gust of cold wind and attacked Su Chen.
At this critical moment, Su Chen suddenly had an idea. He injected the divine pattern into the metal plate and destroyed the original divine pattern structure.
In an instant, the metal plate exploded with a burst of intense light.
Su Chen raised his hand and threw the metal plate at Mr. Ghost. Then, he successfully left the old house.
Just as he left the old house, Su Chen heard a loud explosion behind him.
Looking back, the entire old house was razed to the ground by the violent explosion.
There was a huge pit with a diameter of over thirty meters on the ground!
The divine pattern contained the power of a divine pattern master.
When Su Family's ancestor Su Yuan condensed this rune on the metal plate, although he did not have the peak power of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm, he was still an expert of his generation. The power of the divine pattern that he condensed was very domineering and terrifying.
When this power was released, it was normal for it to have such shocking destructive power.
"Good chance!"
Seeing that Mr. Ghost was heavily injured and there were no ghost servants guarding nearby, Su Chen knew that this was his best chance to counterattack.
With a flash of sword light, Su Chen brought the Fish Intestine Sword and charged forward, stabbing towards the back of Mr. Ghost's neck.
In an instant, blood splattered. Half of Mr. Ghost's head was almost chopped off by Su Chen.
"Ah ah ah …"
Mr. Ghost's young body emitted an aged roar. His face was filled with disbelief. His body slowly decayed and withered. After a few breaths, he had already turned into a pile of yellow soil.
