The Emperor’s daughter, Xiyue, was full of disbelief.

She couldn’t imagine that Xiao Chen was actually Chen Xiao in disguise.

After finally opening her heart once, she unexpectedly found herself being manipulated by Chen Xiao, reduced to a clown. Thinking of the words she said earlier and the intimacy between them, Xiyue felt a huge sense of humiliation rise within her!

"Little thief, I must kill you!" She was filled with sadness and anger.

"Slap." Chen Xiao gave her a pat on her shapely rear, "Emperor’s daughter, Xiyue, I’ve been caring about you this whole time, and as soon as you come out, you shout and want to kill me? Isn’t that a bit too heartbreaking for me?"

"Just now, you said you wanted to protect me."

"Women, they really are fickle!"

Emperor’s daughter, Xiyue, was full of humiliation, thinking that the person who touched her heart turned out to be this guy whom she hated to the bone, made her feel like she wanted to die!

Moreover... moreover, this guy knew everything, surely teasing her on purpose and watching her make a fool of herself.

Thinking of this, tears of humiliation appeared in her eyes, and she angrily looked at Chen Xiao.

"If you’ve got the guts, just kill me."

Chen Xiao chuckled lightly, "After all, we did share a moment of cooperation, how could I be so cruel as to destroy a flower? Let’s part ways here!"

Thinking of how Emperor’s daughter, Xiyue, had been protecting him, although she wanted to protect only "Xiao Chen", the emotions were indeed genuine, Chen Xiao couldn’t bring himself to be ruthless.

"Next time we meet, we’ll be enemies."

With that, Chen Xiao loosened his grip, releasing Emperor’s daughter, Xiyue.

He headed deeper into the passageway.

Emperor’s daughter, Xiyue, watched his elegant departing figure, her teeth gritting in hatred, yet there was an inexplicable emptiness in her heart.

It turned out, the person she was moved by was actually disguised as her most hated person. This feeling of falling from heaven to hell was unbearable for her heart.

"Little thief, if I see you again, I will personally end you!" Emperor’s daughter, Xiyue, secretly clenched her teeth.

Meanwhile, Chen Xiao continued forward, and after passing through several passageways, he arrived at the center of a hall.

Looking around, he found that besides the passage he came through, there were eight others surrounding the hall.

"It seems that all those paths lead to the center of this tomb chamber,"

Finally, his gaze fell upon the center of the hall.

There was a coffin quietly laid out.

The coffin was not large.

But it appeared very heavy.

Completely pitch-black.

Not sure what material it was forged from.

"Senior, forgive me," he took a deep breath, "Since I wish to gain your legacy, I must open your coffin. This is also to fulfill your last wish, not wanting your legacy to gather dust."

With that, he gave a slight bow towards the coffin.

Ready to open it.

However, just at this moment, Emperor’s daughter, Xiyue, arrived.

She looked coldly at Chen Xiao, "Even if you open it today and get what’s inside, you absolutely cannot take it away. You might as well give it to me."

"In consideration of you saving me earlier today, I won’t hold a grudge. Hand it over and leave. I also won’t let the members of the Great Zhou Imperial Family target you. That’s the biggest concession I can make."

In response, Chen Xiao merely smiled lightly, "Emperor’s daughter, Xiyue, opportunities are for those who are fated to have them, whoever gets it, it’s theirs. If you want to snatch it, then go ahead."

"Even if the entire Great Zhou Imperial Family comes after me, I might not be afraid of them."

Upon hearing this, Emperor’s daughter, Xiyue, became somewhat angry, "So you’re determined to fight us to the end?"

Chen Xiao smiled without speaking, "Let’s see who has the ability to seize this opportunity."

With that, he pushed vigorously.

But the coffin didn’t move an inch.

This made his expression change slightly, it seemed this coffin was indeed extraordinary.

The strength he just used could easily move something weighing seven or eight thousand pounds, yet now it didn’t budge! He could only channel his Profound Sun Spiritual Power to push this coffin!

Only then did the coffin slowly move...

A decayed scent emanated from inside.

Upon opening it, Chen Xiao found no corpse inside, only a pale purple crystal.

However, seeing the crystal, Emperor’s daughter, Xiyue’s face displayed astonishment, "This is... the legendary Half-Saint Origin!"

Half-Saint Origin!

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao’s gaze also slightly trembled.

The Half-Saint Origin is what remains after a Semi-Saint transforms into the Dao, composed of all their essence, blood, and flesh.

The energy contained within is unimaginable!

If one were to obtain this Half-Saint Origin, when breaking through from the peak of Sky-reaching Realm to Semi-Saint Realm, it can completely be done in one step, entering the ranks of the Saint Realm!

This is an invaluable treasure to everyone!

Emperor’s daughter, Xiyue, said in a heavy tone, "Xiao Chen, give me the item, and I can exchange any treasure for it. This treasure is beyond your capacity, having it is just a waste!"

Chen Xiao shook his head, "Impossible."

Just as Emperor’s daughter, Xiyue, was about to speak, footsteps suddenly sounded from outside.

The aura of several Martial Artists could be felt from afar.

Both of their hearts slightly trembled!

Someone was coming!

"The opponents are very strong, they aren’t from the Great Zhou Imperial Family’s Martial Artists! Also, among them, there are two Half-step Sky Realm experts!"

"This is still a conservative estimate!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor’s daughter, Xiyue, also became serious.

If their strength is truly as strong as stated,

she certainly wouldn’t be a match.

In the face of such a treasure, no one would care about her identity as the Emperor’s daughter!

"You and I join forces, let’s kill them," Emperor Xiyue thought for a moment and said.

"Are you crazy? Direct confrontation will be hard to win, even if we stake our lives,"

Chen Xiao’s eyes flashed, "I’ll hide inside."

Having said that, he headed directly to hide inside the coffin.

"You—" Emperor Xiyue didn’t expect Chen Xiao would choose to hide inside.

Seeing the footsteps getting closer and closer.

In a rush, Emperor Xiyue also jumped in, following inside.

The coffin was very small.

The two were inside, body against body, they could even feel each other’s breath clearly.

Chen Xiao was speechless; with the Emperor’s daughter pressing down on him, he couldn’t move, how could he launch a sneak attack when they opened the coffin?

Especially with the softness in front of the Emperor’s daughter, pressing against him, his heart couldn’t remain calm, the faint fragrance drifted into his nose, making him somewhat restless!

It was also the first time in Emperor Xiyue’s life, the first time she was in such close contact with a man, her whole body was burning up.

Chen Xiao gritted his teeth and closed the coffin lid.

The next moment.

In the confined space, Emperor Xiyue was extremely nervous.

She subconsciously tightened her palm.

As a result, Chen Xiao grimaced, where is this woman grabbing?

Emperor Xiyue frowned, puzzled, quickly realized what was happening.

She gritted her teeth, upon feeling the change in sensation, immediately withdrew her hand as if electrocuted.

"Pervert!" Emperor Xiyue cursed under her breath.

And at this moment, outside, footsteps were already approaching, then a familiar voice came from outside, "The two protectors have arrived, it seems."

"This is the very center of the Spirit King’s Ancient Tomb."

"Indeed, Jiang Lang, you did well this time. If you hadn’t deliberately let the information out, leading them to explore here as our vanguard, we wouldn’t have gotten such a bargain. From now on, our Wushen Sect will not mistreat your Jiang Family!"

A man with a deep voice spoke.

"Serving the Wushen Sect is an honor for the Jiang Family, as well as for me, Jiang Lang. It’s just a pity I didn’t see that woman Xiyue; otherwise, I would have captured her and savored the taste of an Imperial Princess."

"Hahaha—it’s okay, maybe she and that kid didn’t die in another passage, they’re still alive, so you might still have a chance to enjoy yourself with her."

"Considering your contribution this time, we two protectors will help you fulfill that wish."

Jiang Lang sighed, "Although Emperor Xiyue is also at the Peak of the Transcendent Realm, her combat experience is not skilled, and that kid is just a waste at the Late Transcendent Realm, thinking they could escape under the puppet’s siege is simply dreaming."

Hearing Jiang Lang’s shameless words, Emperor Xiyue’s pretty face turned iron blue.

She didn’t expect that Jiang Lang, who appeared to be suave on the surface, would actually have such vile and disgusting thoughts behind the scenes.

If she had mistakenly trusted this guy before, the outcome would have been terrible.

"Go ahead, open the coffin, and see what good things are inside."

A middle-aged man said to Jiang Lang.

"Okay." Jiang Lang responded like a sycophant and then stepped forward to try to push the coffin open.

But no matter how hard he tried, the coffin wouldn’t budge.

"You can’t even push this open? What a useless fool!" one of the men snorted lightly, "Let me try!"

With that, he hurried forward as well.

As a result, even using all his strength, he still couldn’t open the coffin.

"What’s going on? This coffin seems fused with the body, can’t move at all!"

Suddenly, the coffin lid moved slightly.

Immediately afterwards!

The entire coffin suddenly moved apart!

"It’s open!" The three instantly rejoiced.

But in the next second, their eyes trembled violently!

Two figures burst out from the coffin, attacking them in an instant!

The two protectors were shocked and dodged the unexpected attack instantly.

But Jiang Lang was half a step too slow!

"Swoosh—" Chen Xiao’s sharp sword, directly sliced off one of his arms!

"Ah—" Jiang Lang clutched his arm and retreated quickly.

"Emperor Xiyue, Xiao Chen?!"

He couldn’t believe it; these two had arrived here before them and had hidden in the coffin in advance to launch a sneak attack!

Chen Xiao’s face was full of regret, "What a pity, didn’t kill you, otherwise, next wouldn’t be so tough!"

If Jiang Jianglang had been killed, he wouldn’t have such a burden going forward!

Jiang Lang’s face twisted, "Xiao Chen, I’ll kill you, you damned guy!"

His arm, just like that, was cut off!

And it was by this insignificant little ant.

Emperor Xiyue coldly said, "Jiang Lang, it turns out that the news of the Spirit King’s Ancient Tomb opening was released by you, to pave the way for yourself! Also, your collusion with the Wushen Sect, will mean that there will be no place for you in the Outer Domain of Kunlun Realm!"

"As long as you die here, who would know about the relationship between my Jiang Family and the Wushen Sect?"

"Emperor Xiyue, I’ll give you a chance, as long as you kill this kid, I can plead with the two protectors to spare your pathetic life, how about it?!"

"Of course, as a repayment, it would require you, Emperor Xiyue, to sacrifice yourself to me."

Jiang Lang licked his lips, eyes filled with fervor as he stared at Emperor Xiyue.

The two protectors, with their Half-step Sky Realm cultivation, erupted entirely, causing an oppressive horror that made both Chen Xiao and Emperor Xiyue’s eyes reveal a serious expression.
