Chapter 107 Looting the Demon Clan's Treasure Vault
As Taibai flew along, he covered his entire body with the Pure White Lotus.
The white lotus radiance not only deflected the scorching fireballs that kept falling on him, but also perfectly concealed his aura.
His target was the Demon Court of the Demon Clan.
The Demon Court was now deserted and few guards remained; now was the time for him to make his move.
Before long, the majestic South Heavenly Gate came into view.
The once heavily guarded Heavenly Gate is now only manned by two demon soldiers, and there are no patrol teams to be seen.
"This is the sacred ground of the Demon Court! Those who enter must halt and retreat immediately!"
The two demon soldiers barely mustered their spirits, raised their weapons, and shouted.
Taibai remained silent, and with a seemingly casual wave of his sleeve, one of the demon soldiers collapsed and fell into a deep sleep.
The other person's gaze froze instantly, as he was subtly controlled by Taibai's magic.
"Take me to the Demon Court's treasure vault."
The demon soldier nodded and flew towards the interior of the demon court.
Taibai followed closely behind, his gaze quickly sweeping over the scenery along the way.
Taibai had never been to the Demon Court before, so he was not familiar with this place.
However, if he were to scan the Demon Court with his divine sense, he might leave some traces, so having someone take him there is the best way.
The demon soldier flew for a while and finally stopped in front of a cluster of palaces adjacent to the back of the Lingxiao Palace, and stopped there.
"It seems the entrance to the treasure vault is in this area."
Taibai raised his hand and tapped lightly, and the demon soldier who was leading the way turned into ashes.
However, even with the scope greatly reduced, the complexity of the Demon Court still exceeded expectations.
Pavilions and towers stretch endlessly, and palaces and halls are interspersed.
Taibai searched carefully, not letting go of any possible spiritual energy fluctuations or spatial anomalies.
A full quarter of an hour later, his gaze finally settled on the back of the Lingxiao Palace.
Stepping into the hall, the interior space is much more spacious than it appears from the outside.
The most striking feature is a magnificent gate at the end, towering ten feet high.
The door was made of some kind of divine metal, and it gleamed with a golden luster.
A giant hibiscus tree is engraved in the center of the gate, with ten golden crows standing on it.
On either side of the main gate, there is a relief of a three-legged golden crow with its head raised towards the sky, guarding the center.
Right in the center of the gate, at a prominent position at the base of the hibiscus tree, there is a peculiar recessed hole, shaped like a long, slender feather.
"Could this be the keyhole to open the treasure vault?"
He placed his right hand on the door, feeling the magical power flowing above him.
He was certain that no matter how he attacked, he would not be able to break the door unless he could one day reach the same level as Di Jun.
With a tentative attitude, Taibai took a hundred steps back and then took out the three little golden crows.
He found a feather of similar size and inserted it directly into the hole.
However, the door remained unresponsive and silent.
Taibai made a hand seal, circulating his own magical power, and remotely activated the true solar fire within the three little golden crows.
"go!"
With a soft shout, three streams of true solar fire rose from the little golden crow's body, converging into a stream of fire that surged toward the feather-shaped keyhole.
The hibiscus tree and golden crow relief on the door shimmered with a faint golden halo.
"Click..."
A crisp, clear click of a mechanism echoed through the silent palace.
Immediately afterward, under Taibai's watchful gaze, the giant door slowly opened a crack inward.
Taibai transformed into a gentle breeze and instantly entered the depths of the Demon Court's treasure vault through the gap.
Inside the demon clan's treasure vault, rare and precious materials were neatly arranged on layers of shelves, a stark contrast to the rough and casual style of the witch clan's treasure vault.
This neat arrangement made it extremely convenient for Taibai to collect the items.
He dared not delay, and with a flick of his wrist, he took out a magical treasure that resembled a howling wind bag. As soon as the bag opened, it generated a powerful suction force.
In an instant, the entire warehouse of rare and precious materials transformed into streams of light, continuously flowing into the bag.
However, just as the last magical item disappeared into the bag and the treasure vault was emptied...
The entire treasure vault suddenly began to shake violently; the ground trembled and the walls rumbled.
"This is bad! What's going on with this demon clan's treasure vault?"
Taibai transformed into a blur and swiftly flew towards the entrance of the treasure vault.
He had just darted out of the giant gate when he turned back to look around, a sense of unease creeping into his heart: "Could there be hidden mechanisms? Or have Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi set up array formations and restrictions here?"
The next moment, a brilliant light shone from the depths of the treasure vault, and a three-legged golden crow phantom formed from two beams of true solar fire pierced through the air with a sharp cry.
Their entire bodies were engulfed in pale golden flames; though they lacked intelligence, they exuded astonishing heat and a murderous aura.
Two golden crows let out a long cry, the sound echoing throughout the entire Demon Court, and then pounced on Taibai.
Taibai retreated hastily, simultaneously activating the concealment technique from the Nine Revolutions Profound Art to completely hide his aura, and then turned and flew towards the Primordial Continent.
But the two golden crows seemed to have marked Taibai, relentlessly pursuing him.
Not only that, but a group of demon soldiers were also chasing after the Golden Crow.
"Is this golden crow tracking me using the aura of rare and precious materials? Why are those demon soldiers completely unaffected by the dramatic changes in the world?"
Taibai had no time to think it through and could only fly away at full speed.
Not only were there pursuers behind him, but fireballs and weak water also fell from time to time along the way, making his escape extremely difficult.
Running away was not a solution, so Taibai flew away while launching attacks backward.
The pursuing demon soldiers fell one after another, but the two golden crows were completely unaffected; in fact, his attacks could penetrate them directly.
"Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi are truly cautious; they even arranged two golden crows here. They are really troublesome."
Unable to come up with a solution, Taibai simply changed direction and flew towards the North Sea.
He had previously told Xiao Hei that the four legs of the North Sea Black Tortoise could be used to support the sky, and now Tongtian should have already taken action.
Perhaps when we arrive, Tongtian will be there, and then we won't have to fear those two golden crows anymore.
After he turned, the two golden crow phantoms seemed to be further enraged, and their pursuit became even faster.
Their wings flapped wildly, no longer just colliding, but unleashing a rain of fiery sunlight that covered a large part of the sky, drastically reducing Taibai's space to dodge.
"Damn it, Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun have both perished, so why do these two golden crows still possess such abilities?"
Taibai gritted his teeth inwardly and dodged repeatedly.
Suddenly, a golden crow increased its speed dramatically and appeared in front of him, surrounding him from both sides, leaving him nowhere to retreat.
"The Pure White Lotus blooms!"
Taibai fully activated the protective barrier of the Pure World White Lotus, and at the same time unleashed the God-Slaying Spear, thrusting it towards the Golden Crow in front of him.
However, the golden crow phantom only trembled slightly, and flames surged around it.
The God-Slaying Spear possesses a devouring power; each strike absorbs a small amount of the Sun's True Fire.
But each time a portion disappears, a new flame reignites.
However, Taibai clearly sensed that a feather was hidden inside the True Sun Fire.
"So that's how it is. It's this feather that's continuously providing the true fire of the sun."
