Sacred Martial Divine Sovereign

Silence, dark night, the entire Xi Men Residence was terrifyingly quiet, except for the chirping of insects and birds, there was no sound at all.    

The silent environment, the dark night was like a sky curtain, keeping the noise from the day away.    

Next to the pointy tower, Ao Lingchen was still standing at the end. He was motionless, like a silent boulder, quietly staying in the woods.    

He didn't even breathe, if someone was passing by... Even if he stared at the bushes, he probably wouldn't be able to see that there was a person hiding here. Even the mosquitoes flying through the trees didn't seem to see any delicious flesh, treating him like a rock.    

"Bang!"    

A shocking explosion was heard. The ear-splitting sound was exceptionally loud in the silent night sky. It spread across the entire Ximen family. At the same time, a frightening murderous aura soared into the sky and a dazzling fiery light rose.    

"There's an assassin! Someone is trying to assassinate the patriarch!"    

"Someone come and protect the patriarch! Protect the patriarch!"    

Panicked shouts could be heard. A moment later, the lights of many houses lit up, and the sound of footsteps could be heard throughout the entire Ximen Residence.    

"Capture him! I want to see who dares to assassinate this old man!"    

A loud and weak voice was heard. Although Ao Lingchen couldn't see this person, he knew that this person must be the master of the Ximen family.    

"Finally, I have made my move. Finally, I won't waste so much time waiting. Very well, it's time for me to make my move!"    

The bushes moved slightly. A silent boulder suddenly moved. A black shadow jumped out and stared at the minaret in front of him with deep eyes. A trace of fear flashed through his eyes.    

Ao Lingchen had waited for this moment for more than half the night. It was rare for someone to make a move against the Ximen family. His chance had come when he lured most of the people from the Ximen family away. He couldn't miss this chance, even if it was a dragon's pond and a tiger's den inside the tower. He wanted to bring the Mixed Essence Arts back.    

With a heavy heart and a fearful expression, Ao Lingchen took a step forward and quietly walked towards the ancient wooden door, carefully approaching it.    

No matter where it was, the place where precious items were stored was extremely dangerous. Ao Lingchen being so careful was also to avoid any traps nearby. However, what surprised him was that he did not find anything until he walked to the door.    

With a random thought in his mind, he understood. Although the Sutra Library was a place where precious martial skills were stored, it was also the place where most disciples came. If he set up traps in the surroundings, he would most likely trap his own people. Therefore, it was normal for there to be nothing.    

Taking a deep breath, the Yuan Qi in Ao Lingchen's body surged, and he was ready to strike at any moment. He gently pushed open the wooden door with his left hand, and stared inside.    

"No one?"    

The moment he pushed open the door, Ao Lingchen was ready to fight. However, he didn't expect that it would be so quiet inside that not even a shadow of a ghost could be seen.    

No one was guarding such an important place? How was this possible?    

Confusion circulated in Ao Lingchen's heart. The scene in front of him was too surprising.    

It wouldn't be so simple!    

The quieter it was, the more problems there would be in this place. Ao Lingchen focused his attention to the extreme. He looked ahead with a serious expression, then carefully sized up the place. After that, he took a step forward and walked in.    

Walking into the minaret, Ao Lingchen looked at everything in front of him and frowned slightly. "There are so many scrolls and books in here. How can I find the Mixed Essence Arts?"    

When he saw the densely packed bookshelves in the minaret, Ao Lingchen also felt an unusual headache. Sometimes, going deep into the treasure vault was also a headache. There were too many things in there. Finding the Mixed Essence Arts inside was like looking for a needle in a haystack.    

Ao Lingchen carefully walked to the side of the bookshelf and picked up one of the Flying Cloud Sword Techniques, which was labeled Mid Yellow Level. He then picked up the other Cloud Chasing Sword Technique, which was a Low Yellow Level.    

"These are all low level skills and martial skills. The Mixed Essence Arts is not an ordinary skill. They wouldn't put it together with these books so casually. It should be on top!"    

He could see through everything in the pagoda with just a glance. Besides the first floor he was standing on, there were two more floors on top. The more precious cultivation techniques and martial skills should be on top, and the Mixed Essence Arts might very well be on the last floor.    

"Will the people guarding the Sutra Library be on top?!"    

Ao Lingchen looked at the stairs that led up, and his eyes slightly wrinkled. He had no idea what was happening on top of the stairs, but in order to find the Mixed Essence Arts, he had to take this step.    

Whatever he wanted, he had to pay a price. It was rare for him to encounter someone who could help him stall so many people from the Ximen family. How could he miss this opportunity?    

Almost as if a thought had emerged in his mind. A firm determination made him take a step forward and walk towards the stairs. Yuan Qi surged out from his fists, and his killing intent soared to the sky. He had to focus his attention to the extreme!    

"No one?"    

He had originally thought that there would be a fierce battle, but the moment Ao Lingchen reached the second floor, he only saw a few bookshelves. There were all sorts of books and scrolls placed on them. As for the human form, it did not exist at all.    

Without seeing anyone, the fear in Ao Lingchen's heart didn't disappear. The fact that there was no one on the second floor didn't mean that he was safe. Perhaps, he might even be waiting for someone on the third floor.    

"Let's go and take a look at the third floor first!"    

Since he had guessed that the Mixed Essence Arts would be on the third floor, Ao Lingchen wanted to go there directly. He also wanted to see if the third floor was still empty like here.    

Clenching his fists tightly, Ao Lingchen had a solemn expression on his face. The Yuan Qi in his body crazily surged onto his fists. Strands of Power of Destruction flowed out from his Dantian.    

Since the enemy was suspected to be at the third level, he had to be ready to attack at any time. In order to ensure his own safety, Ao Lingchen did not plan to hide anything, and directly used his most powerful means to defend himself.    

"How could this be? There's no one here, not even a single guard. Could it be that the Ximen family is so confident that the Sutra Library doesn't even need someone to guard it? Aren't they afraid that the Sutra Library will be robbed?"    

The Yuan Qi in both of his fists was surging, and blue veins were popping out on his forehead. Ao Lingchen was ready to fight to the death. However, the reality was just as unexpected. The third floor was still the same as the second floor. There was no one there. No one was guarding the important Sutra Library.    

This was the only thought in Ao Lingchen's mind. All of this was out of his expectation. It was completely illogical.    

"I can't waste any time. I need to find a cultivation technique!"    

Stunned for a moment, Ao Lingchen thought of his goal. The Power of Destruction had dissipated, and his Yuan Qi was still surrounding him, encouraging him to be ready to attack at any time. He quickly searched the area for what he was looking for.    

The layout of the third level was different from the two lower levels. There were not many bookshelves here, only three ancient bookshelves. Each bookshelf was only two meters tall and one meter wide. It did not look like it could contain many books.    

With anxiety, Ao Lingchen quickly opened the bookshelf and saw that it was divided into three levels. Each level had a bronze box placed neatly on top of it.    

"Squeak!"    

Ao Lingchen opened the bronze box and saw a black scroll in front of him.    

"Explosive Thunder Hammer, high Profound Level!"    

Looking at the cool scroll in his hand, Ao Lingchen was pleasantly surprised, but even more disappointed. The reason he risked his life to come here was not because of these expensive martial skills, but because he wanted to take back his Mixed Essence Arts.    

Casually putting away the scroll, Ao Lingchen continued to open the other bronze boxes. He opened three cabinets and eight boxes in a row, and his harvest was huge. However, what disappointed him was that he did not find the Mixed Essence Arts.    

"There's only one left, don't let me down!"    

Ao Lingchen looked at the last bronze box and took a deep breath. He was nervous and nervous.
