After Rebirth, I Quit the Sect—Senior and Junior Sisters Regret It Bitterly! - Chapter 48:

Chapter 48: There’s Clearly Only One Entrance!

Lu Chen, soon, you will be condemned by everyone!

All those warnings you gave before—what a joke!

Now, with ten thousand disciples of the Mystic Spirit Holy Sect as witnesses, everyone will know that your words were false!

This vast, seemingly endless supply of resources is the proof that will humiliate you!

Qi Ze could hardly contain his excitement—

If the entire Demon Cavern were to be excavated, what kind of magnificent achievement would that be?!

They had barely traveled two miles into the cavern, and the abundance of resources had already changed drastically.

If they continued deeper—

Wouldn’t the treasures within be priceless beyond measure?

And if he could claim all these resources for himself—

His cultivation would advance at an unimaginable speed!

Even if he didn’t use them personally, if he shared them with the cultivators of North Li, they would be forever grateful to him!

When that day came—

North Li’s national fortune would soar, uniting the world under its rule!

And he—

Would finally reveal his true self.

No more humiliating servitude in the Mystic Spirit Holy Sect.

No more bowing and scraping to the Sect Master, or carefully maneuvering between his senior sisters.

No more pretending.

“Junior Brother, why are you standing still? What are you thinking about?”

Chi Lingxiao’s voice pulled him back to reality.

Qi Ze shuddered, snapping out of his thoughts.

Immediately, his face resumed its innocent, carefree smile, as if nothing had happened.

“Senior Sister, I was just wondering—what’s your favorite color of flowers?”

Chi Lingxiao’s heart skipped a beat, her expression full of disbelief.

This was the Demon Cavern!

A place filled with endless resources!

Everyone was focused on securing as much treasure as possible, yet her junior brother was thinking about her preferences?

Oh, heavens!

While everyone else had been dazed by the wealth before them, Qi Ze was thinking about her?

Chi Lingxiao dared not think too much about it, her heart beginning to race.

“Junior Brother, you should focus on finding more valuable resources!”

“Senior Sister, how about this red flower?”

“It’s vibrant and passionate, just like you.”

Qi Ze ignored her deflection, bent down, and picked a bright red flower, holding it out to her.

Chi Lingxiao, dressed in her signature crimson robes, felt her face flush as she looked at the flower.

“…I like it!”

She didn’t say anything more, simply accepting the flower and inhaling its scent deeply.

Anything Qi Ze gave her—she would like.

No matter the color.

Seeing her flustered expression, Qi Ze finally felt relieved.

He had successfully won over Chi Lingxiao!

Just now, he had nearly let his true thoughts slip—that had been close!

“Senior Sister, you’re even more beautiful than this flower.”

Hearing this, Chi Lingxiao quickly turned away, her shoulders trembling slightly.

“Alright, Junior Brother, stop teasing me. I’m going to check for more valuable treasures over there.”

Clearly, she was too embarrassed to stay near him any longer.

Qi Ze smiled faintly—his goal had been achieved.

She was finally out of the way.

Glancing around, Qi Ze’s expression darkened.

The disciples of the Mystic Spirit Holy Sect had already scattered.

They had completely abandoned their formation, each person desperately searching for valuable items.

It was like a sandstorm scattering grains in all directions.

Everyone was frantically stuffing valuable treasures into their storage pouches.

Qi Ze’s eyes narrowed, his killing intent flashing.

These lowly fools…

Did they actually think they could keep these resources for themselves?

Ridiculous!

All of it belongs to me! To North Li!

If they thought they could take even a share, they were deluding themselves!

But for now—

Let them gather as much as possible.

Later, he would claim it all for himself.

His mood soured slightly.

With so many people around, he couldn’t communicate with North Li yet.

If he could, he would have immediately informed the royal family about this unimaginable fortune!

Just as he was deep in thought, he heard an excited voice exclaim—

“Come look! I found a glowing piece of wood! This has to be some kind of treasure—it’s so heavy!”

“Oh, heavens! That’s high-grade Purple Gold Wood! It’s worth a fortune!”

“Who would sell something like that? It boosts cultivation! Who in their right mind would part with it?”

“Hold on to it tight—don’t let anyone steal it!”

Excited voices erupted one after another, and the disciples’ eyes widened with greed.

Their nerves were on edge, their steps quickening.

Even the leaders of the group lowered their guard, overwhelmed by the sheer amount of treasure they were finding.

Especially Chi Lingxiao—she was so eager to collect treasures that she wanted to dig up the entire ground!

At the same time, she regretted moving so fast earlier.

She had missed so many valuable items!

From now on, she needed to move more carefully, making sure not to overlook a single treasure!

The deeper they went—

The more uneasy Chu Tian felt.

During their previous visit, they had never seen anything like this.

They had only stayed in the outer areas, but there had been howling winds, jagged rocks, and an overwhelming sense of danger.

But now—

All of that was gone.

Had they really taken the wrong path last time?

But that was impossible—

There was clearly only one entrance!

Chu Tian’s unease grew stronger.

Finally, he turned to Xu Qingshan.

“Elder Xu, don’t you find this odd?”

Xu Qingshan frowned.

“Odd? What’s odd about it?”

“We came here to mine resources. What, are we supposed to leave all these treasures behind?”

Chu Tian shook his head vigorously.

“That’s not what I meant. What I mean is—don’t you think this place is… too peaceful?”

Xu Qingshan paused.

Too peaceful?

Now that he thought about it—

The sun was shining. The air was fresh. Flowers bloomed everywhere. Even the sunlight had a sweet fragrance to it.

Yes… it was peaceful.

But—

“So what? Isn’t that a good thing?”

“Just relax, Chu Tian! Lu Chen lied to all of us! This is the real Demon Cavern!”

“In fact, we should stop calling it a Demon Cavern altogether. When we return, we’ll have the Sect Master rename it—this is our Mystic Spirit Holy Sect’s personal treasure trove!”

Xu Qingshan grinned as he spoke.

Everything was perfect.

Even Chu Tian began to doubt himself.

Had their last trip really been that dangerous?

Had he imagined it?

How could so much change in just a few days?

…

Deep within the Demon Cavern.

The Three Great Demon Kings had gathered.

Dong Qing couldn’t wait any longer—

He immediately reported what was happening at the cavern’s entrance.

The other two Demon Kings were shocked.

“Yes… I smell it too,” one muttered.

“It seems our plan was successful. By scattering treasures outside the cavern, we’ve lured them in!”

Just as Nan Qing finished speaking—

A sweet, seductive voice interrupted.

“Brother Nan Qing, that’s not what Brother Dong Qing means.”

Atop a throne, a woman clad in sheer white silk smiled.

Her ruby lips parted slightly.

Nan Qing’s voice was filled with confusion.

“Northern King… what do you mean?”

More laughter echoed.

The little demons around them shivered in fear.

Risking death—

They stole glances at the Northern Demon King—Bei Luo.
