"Ru Yan Hong Wen, stop speaking sarcastically to me!" Unlike the previous attitude he had towards the hall master, Shang Guan Jun Yuan's voice suddenly rose as his eyes inadvertently floated towards the hall master's location.

Glaring fiercely at the flirtatious man seated beside the hall master, he immediately turned around and left.

It was said that there were three protectors within this shrine. Although he was one of them, he was always no match for the other two. Therefore, as soon as the mission related to Gu Ling Xue was issued, he immediately rushed over.

Who would have thought that this would be a difficult task?

Recalling how the other two didn't seem to have anything to do with him when the hall master had issued the mission that day, he was immediately angered.

It looks like the two of them knew beforehand that this Gu Ling Xue would not be easy to deal with!

"Master, this is the place."

After leaving Shang Guan Jun Yuan's side, Gu Ling Xue followed An Tian and walked for around half an hour, until they finally reached the source of the star's light.

"This is the shrine's treasure pavilion?" With full contempt, Gu Ling Xue's eyes were filled with disdain, "Just these things?"

Standing at the entrance of the Treasure Vault, he looked in through the light. Inside were a mess of antiques, jewelry, and other items that were scattered all over the Treasure Vault.

Although they were some things that were not cheap, in Gu Ling Xue's opinion, they were far from enough.

Such a powerful force, such a huge palace, don't tell me there's only this small Treasure Pavilion.

He looked around and saw that outside of the treasure pavilion, there was no other measure outside.

For example, swordsmanship, guards and the like …

Gu Ling Xue could not help but pout her lips and look towards An Tian, indicating him to go and open the door.

"Creak." Following the sound of an old door opening, the old wooden door that obstructed the Treasure Vault's path was pushed open unwillingly by An Tian, and the things inside were immediately exposed to the air.

An Tian turned his head to look at Gu Ling Xue, only to see the latter nodding his head, and after that, An Tian walked inwards towards the Treasure Vault with ease.

Just as his right foot that was wearing cloth boots stepped into the territory of the Hidden Treasure Pavilion, a very soft "clank" sound suddenly came out, before Gu Ling Xue could block it, An Tian's other foot had already walked over.

Not good, an ambush!

Accompanied by a light ray, a long arrow pierced straight into the spot where An Tian's right foot was just at, and at that moment, An Tian had already reacted, somersaulting backwards in the air.

Gu Ling Xue stood at the door, quietly watching as the Treasure Vault continued to attack An Tian, but she did not have any plans to go in.

At this time, the blood beast that was always in Gu Ling Xue's body suddenly spoke out: "Master, how much hatred do you have towards this brat?"

A hint of sarcasm.

When Gu Ling Xue heard this, she waited for him to finish speaking. The blood beast that was originally resting in her body suddenly appeared in midair, and was then thrown into the treasure pavilion by Gu Ling Xue.

Leng Ning did not even look at the blood beast, but continued to carefully observe the attack of the long arrow.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Before the blood beast could react, it was suddenly forced out of Gu Ling Xue's body by force, and then thrown back into the rain of arrows.

The blood beast could only speak ill of Gu Ling Xue in her heart while blocking the arrow's attack.

Glancing at the blood beast that was reluctant to leave, Gu Ling Xue suddenly made her move.

In a short moment, Gu Ling Xue disappeared from her original position, leaving behind only a man and a beast to deal with the rain of arrows.

"Hey, where did Master go?" The blood beast that was still floating in midair hurriedly looked towards An Tian's direction. A loud shout suddenly rushed into An Tian's ears, causing him to be stunned for a split-second.

With a "puchi", the arrow accurately pierced An Tian's right arm.

An Tian gouged out the huge monster behind him with his eyes, but did not say anything as he dodged behind the falling blood beast.

"Bam." Its huge body suddenly landed on the ground, coincidentally, An Tian turned around and leaned onto the blood beast.

At the same time, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in the direction of the light.

The rain of arrows finally stopped.

"Injured?"

An Tian looked in Gu Ling Xue's direction, and struggled to get up. At the same time, he replied with a stutter: "Yes."

His martial arts could also be considered to be at the apex. Yet, he had been injured by such a simple rain of arrows. Regardless of the reason, if word of this were to spread, it would be extremely humiliating.

An Tian lowered his head in frustration, not daring to look at Gu Ling Xue's expression.

He looked towards the blood beast reproachfully, and said gently: "It's no big deal, just eat this clotting dan."

As he said that, he threw a pill that glimmered with a faint light in Gu Ling Xue's hand in the direction of An Tian. Just as An Tian was about to go and receive it, he realized that he was stopped in midair by the blood beast.

"Master, this clotting dan?" The blood beast was in a daze as it held onto the pill that emitted a similar glow. It remembered the existence of the nine fires in Gu Ling Xue's body.

While he was lost in thought, the hand holding the clotting dan suddenly felt a sharp pain, and because of that, the clotting dan was accidentally released.

Taking in a deep breath, the blood beast looked towards the hand that was holding the clotting dan, only to discover that the medicinal pellet that was originally glowing with a fluorescent light was currently being sent into An Tian's mouth.

Without thinking, blood beast's palm carried a bit of power, and immediately flew towards An Tian. Boom!

After An Tian swallowed the pellet, he flipped backwards, barely dodging the palm strike that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"What are you trying to do!" An Tian, who had always been unwilling to take care of blood beast, finally became angry.

He steadily stood beside the blood beast and suddenly gathered a very powerful force in his palm. He was waiting for the right moment to strike at the blood beast.

Seeing that, the blood beast's originally lazy body also went into alert. It turned towards An Tian's direction and showed its fangs without restraint.

Gu Ling Xue was trying to move all of the treasures in the treasury into the Rakasha's ring, but suddenly, she heard a sound behind him that disturbed her interest.

He then turned around and threw a piece of porcelain between the two of them. There was an explosion in the quiet Treasure Pavilion. A woman's voice then shouted, "If you dare cause trouble again, get out of here!"

The power that was gathered in the palm suddenly disappeared, and the tusks that had been erected also suddenly fell to the ground, An Tian and the blood beast obediently listened to Gu Ling Xue and retracted the power that they had been accumulating for a long time, but their eyes were looking at each other.
