With that, he turned and waved his hand. A tree that was three times as tall as the average man appeared behind him. The tree was thick and rich, covered in four-leaf clovers that resembled the one Yi Qing had shown to them earlier.

"Really?" Lonemoon asked, his eyes twinkling.

"I am a Young Emperor after all. I would not stoop so low as to bluff a lowly sword immortal like you." Xun Shu did not for a second think that either of these two people would be able to break open the box. He had perceived their cultivation level from the moment they stepped through the doorway. One was at best an Earth Immortal and the other was a Golden Immortal. This was a tenth-stage immortal box which even Exalted Immortals could not open.

As he spoke, he raised his hands and the box flew over to the two people.

Lonemoon immediately caught the box, understanding Xun Shu's thoughts. The spirit-absorbing stones were extremely strong and were resistant to immortal Qi. This meant that the box could not be opened with immortal powers. They had to use physical strength. Given his cultivation level, Lonemoon was sure he would not be able to do it. But... he had a cheat!

"Shen Ying, you take care of this box!" He turned and handed the box over to her. Cheater Ying had no other skill, but she was definitely more violent than anyone else!

"Huh?" Shen Ying took hold of the box. "How?"

"It's up to you. Just destroy it."

"Oh."

He thought for a second and added, "We just have to take out the..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud crack. Shen Ying clenched her fist, then loosened it. The once strong and solid spirit-absorbing box was now reduced to dust. Even the immortal dagger inside...

"Take out what?" Shen Ying finally processed what Lonemoon had said. She looked down at the pile of dust. "Er... is it too late?"

Xun Shu: "..."

Lonemoon: "..."

A while later...

"My tenth-grade immortal sword!" Xun Shu gasped, eyes widened.

"Father Niu, what... what should we do?" Shen Ying was trembling. Why does that man look like he is about to eat us up?

"You're asking me!" Lonemoon felt like he was about to throw up blood. "Why would you smash it to pieces for no reason?"

"Didn't you tell me to destroy it?"

"..." I did not ask you to destroy the dagger along with the box. "Young... Emperor?"

"You... you both..." Xun Shu sounded furious. The fan in his hand turned into a sword as he glared ferociously at them.

Lonemoon's heart fell as he thought, we're finished!

"Shen Ying, what should we do?"

"... Run!" Defeated Ying turned around and immediately started to sprint.

Lonemoon felt a gust of wind blow past his ear and saw that the cheat had already disappeared without a trace.

"Holy shit!"

"I will kill you both!" Xun Shu raised his sword and charged toward Lonemoon.

"Bastard, you have no loyalty at all, you only know how to..."

Before Lonemoon could finish speaking, Shen Ying reappeared with another gust of wind. She picked Lonemoon up just before Xun Shu's sword hit him and they both escaped.
