Purple?

"This is… a top-grade spiritual treasure!!!"

The old man exclaimed in disbelief.

Who had he provoked?

The illegitimate child of the head of the Xuanyang Sect?

Even if he was the illegitimate child of the head of the Xuanyang Sect, he couldn't possibly enjoy such good treatment. A flying spiritual treasure and a top-grade attacking spiritual treasure combined, even if a Xuanyang Sect elder were to come, they might not possess such a fortune.

"Run!"

He had no other thought.

If Li Xun only had a flying spiritual treasure, he might have dared to take a chance, but now with an attacking spiritual treasure coming into play, he had no other option but to run for his life.

  "Whoosh!"

The old man transformed into a red light, attempting to escape.

But it was too late.

To be precise, from the moment he stopped the spear with his body, he had lost any chance of escaping.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The Azure Dragon Halberd descended like a collapsing heaven and earth, heavy as a mountain, accompanied by a dragon's roar, as if an ancient azure dragon had descended to this world from ancient times.

"No…!"

The red-robed old man could only let out a cry of despair before his body was shattered into a mist of blood in mid-air.

As his body disintegrated…

Several items turned into rays of light, shooting in all directions.

Li Xun quickly extended his hand, just in time to retrieve his Broken Cloud Spear, but the old man's storage ring and the blood spirit bead fell into the mountain range below.

"It shouldn't have been destroyed, right?"

Li Xun wondered.

He took a look at the Azure Dragon Halberd in his hand.

Although he knew that the Azure Dragon Halberd's power was terrifying, he hadn't expected it to be this formidable. With just one strike, it had crushed the red-robed old man, who was in the Profound Core Realm.

Moreover…

This wasn't even the full power of the Azure Dragon Halberd.

After all, he was only in the late stage of the Spirit Connection Realm.

Weapons like top-grade spiritual treasures were usually possessed by the elders of the Xuanyang Sect or higher-level figures. He felt he was incredibly lucky to own such an extraordinary treasure.

"Hopefully, I can keep some self-preservation power…"

Li Xun prayed and stored the Azure Dragon Halberd and the Broken Cloud Spear back into his storage ring. Then he stepped off the Spirit Navigational Boat and swiftly descended to the mountain range below.

After retracting the Spirit Navigational Boat, he expanded his spiritual sense, covering an area of thousands of kilometers.

Soon, Li Xun's face lit up with surprise. The system had mentioned something about purple.

Is this my lucky day?

His first purple investment opportunity appeared in this remote wilderness.

He quickly spread his spiritual sense and found a small village not far away. The village seemed eerily quiet, even though it was the time when villagers should have returned from their work in the fields, with smoke rising from their homes.

But this village was different.

It was too silent.

Silent enough to send shivers down one's spine.

Li Xun walked into the village and saw the horrifying scene of every household in ruins. Not a single house was left intact.

The ground was littered with bodies, and fresh blood continued to flow, enveloping the entire village in a strong scent of blood.

He couldn't bear to look any longer and withdrew his gaze.

He understood that, most likely, this village had fallen victim to the red-robed old man's actions. The blood spirit bead in the old man's possession was a wicked treasure that could only be refined through human lives.

"Compared to this, what's the significance of the struggles in the Xuanyang Sect's outer sect? Even if I can't get through that level, I'll still have a dead end once I enter the cultivation world."

With a light sigh, Li Xun quickened his pace and arrived at the other side of the village.

There, a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance was kneeling on the ground. Covered in blood, he had inserted both hands into the earth and trembled slightly.

In front of him lay the bodies of two elders, a man and a woman.
