It was just as Vermilion Bird said, it wasn't very deep here, about a hundred meters from the ground.
The five of them reached the bottom, and it was pitch black all around.
"Could it be that the Su Family has the ability to see in the dark? Or do they just fumble around every time they come down to retrieve or store things?"
Qin Yi muttered, as the entrance was over a hundred meters from the ground, and the opening was so small that no light penetrated. It was so dark below that even with their sharp eyesight, the visibility was no more than three meters.
Yet before Qin Yi's words faded, suddenly a glimmer of light appeared, followed by a second, and then a third... until dozens of lights turned on, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.
The lights were actually oil lamps embedded in the stone walls.
"Whoa, are these oil lamps sound-activated too?" Qin Yi was shocked.
Azure Dragon said, "These oil lamps must have been infused with something unknown to us, having a very low ignition point. When the entrance is opened and air rushes in, they spontaneously ignite and light the wicks."
Qin Yi rolled his eyes, "Like you're so knowledgeable, I already thought of that."
Azure Dragon's mouth twitched a few times, but he didn't have the energy to argue with Qin Yi, instead, he was stunned by the things around them.
Qin Yi was also amazed.
With enough light, they could clearly see it was a space of about three hundred square meters, organized into different sections.
Spirit grass, spiritual medicine, secret manuals, weapons, everything was here in abundance.
The Su Family had been around for hundreds, if not thousands, of years, and the resources they accumulated were astonishing. Just the spirit grasses and spiritual medicines for cultivation alone numbered in the hundreds or thousands.
"We're rich!" Qin Yi's eyes shone as he rushed over.
Azure Dragon and the others snapped back to their senses and instinctively walked forward.
Qin Yi, like a country bumpkin, touched this and that, almost drooling.
"One, two, three..."
Azure Dragon watched Qin Yi stand before the display racks of spirit grasses and spiritual medicines, murmuring, and curiously asked, "What are you doing?"
Qin Yi reflexively replied, "Of course, counting to see how many there are so we can split them evenly."
Azure Dragon walked over, browsed for a moment, then picked up a piece of Jade Dan Yang Grass, which was at least three hundred years old.
"I'll take this one, the rest you can divide among yourselves."
Qin Yi gaped, "Are you stupid?"
So many spirit grasses and spiritual medicines, and Azure Dragon only wanted one?
Azure Dragon couldn't be bothered with him and turned to walk towards the display racks of secret manuals.
"Remember, you didn't want them." Qin Yi muttered and continued counting. He wasn't interested in those cultivation techniques, his mind was filled with countless great divine powers, he couldn't even be bothered to practice them, not to mention those crude cultivation techniques which he didn't fancy at all.
Xuanwu approached and picked up a piece of great medicine, saying to Qin Yi, "Brat, stop counting, I'll just take this one, the rest you can split."
Qin Yi: "..."
"When did you become so generous?"
Xuanwu glared at him and also went to browse the section of secret manuals.
For a martial artist, the interests lie mainly in secret manuals and cultivation resources.
"Qin Yi, what number did you count to so far?" Vermilion Bird asked with a smile.
"Counted to one hundred... no, three hundred... wait, it's two hundred... where did I count to exactly?"
Qin Yi looked at Vermilion Bird with resentment. Her question made him forget where he was in his count!
Vermilion Bird smiled softly, "Then take your time counting."
Qin Yi glared at her, surely she did that on purpose.
White Tiger laughed, "Kid, you should gather all these spirit grasses and spiritual medicines."
"You don't want them?" Qin Yi was surprised.
"You take them first, I'll ask you for them when I need them."
Qin Yi beamed, "Alright then, I'll keep them for you first."
"Qin Yi, keep my share for me too." Vermilion Bird said with a smile.
Qin Yi's eyes squinted with joy as he nodded repeatedly.
The next moment, he quickly collected these spirit grasses and spiritual medicines into the storage ring.
However, the space inside his storage ring was too small, just the spirit grasses and spiritual medicines almost filled it up. There was no place left for the weapons and other items.
The key issue was that in the corner, these freaks from the Su Family had stored over ten tons of gold bars.
This was a treasure worth a lot, but Qin Yi could only look on in desperation.
"I can't fit everything." Qin Yi pouted with distress.
The four of Azure Dragon were engrossed in the secret manuals, but upon hearing Qin Yi, they looked up and burst into laughter simultaneously.
"Looks like the limitation of your hiding technique has been reached."
Qin Yi was speechless, that was because his storage ring lacked the materials for expansion, making the space too small.
Vermilion Bird laughed, "Anyway, the Su Family is completely wiped out, and only we know the key and method to open the treasure vault. Others can't come in, so if you can't take everything, you can always come back next time."
Qin Yi thought about it and agreed, so he confidently continued scavenging through the treasure vault, also taking stock to avoid these four elders from taking a piece or two.
If Azure Dragon and the others knew Qin Yi's thoughts, they would definitely beat him up.
In the end, Azure Dragon and the others only selected a few cultivation techniques they were interested in, leaving everything else.
They had already discussed earlier, no matter what the treasure vault held, they would only pick a few items they could use, and leave the rest to Qin Yi.
Because they knew, Qin Yi was the future of Earth, and only if he became stronger would he have the power to stop the impending catastrophe.
Furthermore, Qin Yi had the Peace Army under him, and they knew Qin Yi always wanted to build the Peace Army into a steel legion, a tiger and wolf army, but was hindered by a lack of resources. The resources here should elevate the Peace Army to a new level.
The group left the treasure vault and came outside.
Qin Yi sealed the secret chamber entrance, and he wasn't done yet, he set up a great array at the entrance, then felt relieved.
"Time to go back," Azure Dragon said.
This trip proved to be very rewarding.
Xuanwu chuckled, "I suppose news of the Su Family's annihilation has already spread to the outside world."
"Hahaha... I really want to see how those sinister hidden families react when they hear this news," White Tiger laughed boisterously.
...
...
The news of the Su Family's demise spread quickly, as hidden families were always mysterious, and ordinary Qi Refiners were not familiar with these hidden families, only knowing them as a formidable force.
However, families like the Mo Family and the Fang Family, both hidden families, understood each other well. Upon receiving the news of the Su Family's annihilation, it was as if they had been struck by lightning, leaving them stunned on the spot.
"Is the news accurate?"
In the main hall of the Mo Family, Family Head Mo Honghai, along with several elders, Mo Wuji among them.
It was Family Head Mo Honghai who just asked the question.
Mo Fushui said solemnly, "There can be no mistake; this news spread among all hidden families last night."
Mo Honghai's eyes flashed with disbelief, "Was it really Qin Yi's doing?"
"Yes, Qin Yi along with the four Guardian Gods."
This news greatly unsettled everyone; they had always thought highly of themselves, believing no one could threaten their hidden families. To be precise, for hundreds of years, no individual or faction had dared challenge the hidden families.
But the emergence of Qin Yi struck them like a slap in the face, not only challenging the hidden families but also wiping out one!
