Chapter 130 - Arriving At The Treasure Storage House

So, many hours later, precisely in the morning of the third day that he was given by Nine Calamities, he stopped what he was doing and quickly stood to his feet to go report to him for the mission that was assigned to him.

Then after standing to his feet, he left his room and headed to Nine Calamities room.

...

Knock!

On getting there, he knocked on the door with Nine Calamities' voice instantly ringing out, "Come in"

Xiao Lin then opened the door and stepped in. And once he did so, he closed the door behind him and took a bow.

Then when he straightened himself back, he said "Master, here I am."

"Good! Good that you are here, Bloodfang" Nine Calamities said.

He then said further, "So, for the mission that I told you about, you will be given the map to that region where the treasure storage house is located. Then when you get there, I want you to ransack the whole place. Take everything there, leave absolutely nothing behind and then bring all to me. Am I clear?"

"Yes, Master" Xiao Lin said with a nod of his head.

"Good!" Nine Calamities said.

He then spoke further, "However, I want you to be really careful when you get there. There might be many lethal elements put in hidden places with the aim to stop you from trying to pillage the whole treasure house. So, you should be very cautious when going about to take everything stored in there"

Then the instant that he said that, he waved his hand with a scroll appearing in the air in that same instant.

Once the scroll materialized in the air, Nine Calamities grabbed it and then gave it to Xiao Lin who accepted it politely.

"Where you are to head to is in the map. So, just follow the directions and you will get there without any hassle" He said while Xiao Lin nodded his head and then stowed the scroll into his spatial ring.

He then turned around and headed towards the door. And when he arrived in front of it, he opened it and stepped outside. Then when he closed it back, he headed straight for the large, suspended entrance gate to leave the castle.

Then a few moments later after he had come out of the castle, he began to walk towards the street that the Blackheart forest was located at.

Not long when he appeared there, he produced the scroll again and began to go through it.

Identifying where he was to go in the next instant, he immediately dashed out at a normal speed to the place where long-distances carriages were parked. Then when he arrived in front of one, he immediately entered it and ordered the driver to move, when it hadn't even carried any passengers.

"What? I can't move now, lad. I still have wait for many hours more" The driver retorted.

"Oh. And why is that?" Xiao Lin asked.

"Well, this is a carriage meant for transporting people to really far locations. So, until the carriage is full before I can even think of going anywhere, or it would be my own tremendous loss." The driver said and then continued, "Sorry about that if you never knew this before."

"Nah. It's alright." Xiao Lin said with an amiable smile in his face.

He then spoke further with one of his brows arched, "How much can I actually pay you to make you move?"

Immediately he said that, the driver looked at him with great awe in his eyes.

"You want to pay me to move, even after the carriage still has only you in it?" The driver asked with shock in his heart.

"Yea." Xiao Lin responded.

He then asked again, "So, how much?"

"Hmm. Well, since you want me to lift you to any far destination of your choice, then you will have to pay ten thousand bronze coins to me" The driver replied without mincing words.

But once he said that, Xiao Lin quickly began to calculate things in his mind. And these were the amount of coins that he had with him to pay for the price of transport that he was billed by the long-distance carriage driver. Then after seeing that he would still have definitely more than enough coins with him after paying the driver, he told the driver to carry on.

"Oh. Alright." the driver said with marvel in his eyes.

'This lad is wickedly rich. I wonder where he got his insane wealth from." He said further within himself.

Then immediately after he said that, he left where he was and headed for the driver's seat in the carriage.

Not long, the carriage began to move into the distance towards the place that Xiao Lin mentioned to him.

...

Many days later, after stopping on the way many times to relax and eat, the carriage finally arrived at a particular town that the treasure storage house was located.

Then after paying the money that he was billed, he came down from the carriage and began to head towards the place that the treasure storage house was located.

So, following the directions given in the map scroll, he finally arrived before the treasure storage house which was large in size, but look dilapidated as many cracks could be seen in it structure, giving the feeling that it could collapse anytime from now.

"Finally" Xiao Lin said with a sigh of relief.

Now that he had appeared before the building that was said to house the vase that contained that pill which his master, Nine Calamities badly wanted, he prepared to go in, but with a thought that he would also find a pill that would be useful to him too.

But just when he could think of going in, someone suddenly appeared beside him.

"Young one, is it you that they sent to come retrieve the pill that was intentionally kept in this old building?" The person asked and then looked at Xiao Lin with a cold glint in bus eyes.

Xiao Lin who was shocked by the sudden appearance of this person, remained composed like nothing odd had occurred around him.

He then looked at the person coldly gazing at him in the eye and said, "I don't understand what senior means by that. Could senior please expound on that for my comprehension?"

Haha!

The person who was middle-aged and was quite short in size, suddenly burst into laughter.

He then looked at Xiao Lin and said, "I want you to leave here this moment if you know what is good for you. If not, you will be destroyed with your head returned to wherever you are from"

Xiao Lin then looked at the person who was a 5th-layer Mortal Spiritual stage cultivator and said with a fierce light beginning to emit from his eyes, "Senior, I don't understand what you mean by this. I haven't offended you in any way, and I am only here because I accidentally walked into this area from far away."

Haha!

The person laughed again.

He then said, "I know what you are, boy. You are a bandit sent here to retrieve a particular item from within the building. Am I right?"

And immediately he said that, a large stream of Spiritual Energy suddenly erupted from his hands before turning into a large fireball that shot towards Xiao Lin at a great speed.

Seeing the fireball that was shooting towards him, Xiao Lin howled in fury and quickly slashed out at it with the twin blades that had instantly appeared in his hand.

BANG!

The fireball upon being struck by the blades, immediately turned into a blast of fire that raged towards Xiao Lin and knocked him really hard, sending him flying into the distance.

However, because of Xiao Lin's tough and resilient skin, the blast couldn't affect him much.

So, his skin which was like a hide, was able to effortlessly resist the great heat and kinetic force produced by the sudden, violent burst of flame that occurred before him.

When Xiao Lin regained his balance from that terrifying blast that occurred before him, he looked at the middle-aged man that launched that attack at him and suddenly hurled one of the blades in his hands out at him.

And as soon as he did that, he aimed his free hand at the man and prepared to utilize the Mortal Saint Beheading technique from the Way of the Demonic Blade battle art.

So, once he deployed the Mortal Saint Beheading technique, currents of Hermetic Demonic Energy which were dark scarlet in color, quickly rushed out from some of the True Demonic Marks in his dantian and then travelled to that free palm as a turbulent and violent stream of wild energy, after moving through some special meridian pathways in his body.

Then when this raging stream of energy arrived at that palm, it erupted out of it in the next instant like a small explosion and rapidly condensed into a large, dark scarlet blade that began to emit waves of perceptible, alarming sharpness.

Once the dark scarlet blade which gave off a frightening, perceivable sharpness materialized above his free hand, he quickly aimed out that palm at the middle-aged man who immediately unleashed a stream of Spiritual Energy from one of his hands which then instantly condensed into a powerful fiery attack and then abruptly shot out towards the Awakening Doom blade shooting towards him like an arrow to block it.
