Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1505 - 450: [Killing for Treasure, Occasionally]

This statement caused the Sacrificial Priest’s expression to relax.

Fortunately, he didn’t intend to involve himself in the affairs of Gusanka!

This meant that this mysterious and powerful Eastern Cultivator wasn’t here for any local power.

Just a traveler accidentally dragged into it.

For this Sacrificial Priest, he had painstakingly orchestrated such a large plan for the sake of the local power shift, investing greatly, and the benefits were also significant.

Of course, at this moment, he didn’t want any uncontrollable, unplanned forces to intervene.

A mysterious Eastern Cultivator was already enough to be a disruptive element.

After a slight pause, the Sacrificial Priest nodded: "I can offer you some compensation, not out of fear, but as respect and honor to an Eastern Cultivator."

Chen Yan smiled: "I don’t need money. Worldly wealth means nothing to me."

The Sacrificial Priest’s tone paused: "What do you want?"

Chen Yan smiled, pointing at the Sacrificial Priest.

To be precise, he pointed towards the Sacrificial Priest’s waist, where the knife was inserted.

The ancient-looking broken knife.

"I’m very interested in this knife."

The Sacrificial Priest’s face changed dramatically!

His brows and eyes immediately grew grim: "This is a Sacred Object serving the True God! It mustn’t be gifted to a heretic!"

Chen Yan’s smile remained, but he furrowed his brows.

While furrowing his brow, he smiled and lightly said to the Sacrificial Priest: "You might have misunderstood something — I’m not discussing with you."

The Sacrificial Priest’s pupils contracted, and his eyes turned entirely cold.

"Initially, I was troubled, because if I directly took something from innocent hands, it would slightly violate my principles.

However, after carefully watching tonight’s drama, I’ve confirmed one thing — you folks have no good people amongst you, so I no longer have any psychological burden in dealing with you."

As he spoke, Chen Yan smiled warmly: "For me, to kill you first and take the knife from your corpse is not difficult."

The Sacrificial Priest quietly stared at Chen Yan for a few seconds, then abruptly moved!

The Sacrificial Priest, originally seated, suddenly surged in size, spreading his arms open like a bird taking flight!

However, after leaping from the chair, his figure suddenly flew backward instead of lunging at Chen Yan.

In midair, with a bang, his silhouette shattered into countless fragments of shadow and "broke" apart!

But simultaneously, Chen Yan’s smile froze slightly, and he stretched out his hand, pointing with his left thumb in the direction of the Sacrificial Priest’s body.

A Finger Sword shot out, with Primordial Qi penetrating into the dissipating silhouette of the Sacrificial Priest.

Amidst the countless dissipating shadows, a painful scream suddenly erupted.

Afterward, with a clang, the ancient broken knife fell from the fragmenting shadows, dropping to the ground.

"You will pay for offending the True God!"

From within the fragmenting shadows came the Sacrificial Priest’s angry roar, followed by the complete dissipation of the fragments, disappearing without a trace.

Chen Yan slowly stood up and walked forward, surveying the room’s surroundings before nodding.

"Not a bad escape technique, these deceitful God Sticks indeed have some skills."

Then, he bent over and picked up the broken knife from the ground.

The knife was very worn, the handle incomplete, and the smell of rust and blood on the blade was unpleasant.

But Chen Yan held the knife in his hand, gazing at it for a few seconds, then suddenly flicked the blade with the other hand.

With a poof, the blade shattered into countless fragments, scattering onto the ground.

Chen Yan, holding the handle, applied slight pressure with his fingers, easily crushed the old wood and leather wrapping, and blew it to ashes with a breath.

Finally, in his hand was the leftover remnant after removing the wooden and leather wrapping from the handle.

It was something thicker and longer than a finger, heavy, resembling jade, with a half-white, half-green luster.

Chen Yan stared at this object for several moments before nodding in satisfaction: "As expected... I knew I recognized that familiar scent..."

This evening, hiding in the shadows and watching the drama unfold at the Governor’s Mansion, none of the schemes and plots mattered to Chen Yan.

The tricks used by the Barbarians seemed rather crude from his Eastern perspective.

But what surprised him the most was the knife he saw tonight!

This knife, capable of cutting shadows and creating shadow clones, was clearly a Magical Artifact, or even a Magical Treasure.

Of course, if it were just a Magical Artifact or Treasure, Chen Yan wouldn’t be so shocked.

Because, for him, the Magical Artifacts and Treasures in his home could be weighed by the pound!!

Back in the Domain Realm, the Ghost Race’s Artifact Master had crafted a large batch of various Magical Artifacts and Treasures for him.

These items didn’t hold much value for Chen Yan.

What truly piqued his strong interest in this object, made him willing to kill for it, was for a special reason.

Upon seeing this broken knife, he detected a familiar aura within.

This wasn’t a "scent," not something detected by smell, but rather a familiar aura sensed through Divine Sense.

Previously, Chen Yan had only encountered this aura on one type of object.

The top Great Demon hiding in the Celestial Demon Yin Yang Joyful Sect, the Beautiful Glow Flower Demon, had presented him with her original fruit!

The Beautiful Glow wasn’t an ordinary Flower Demon or Demon Race, she was the World-Origin Object of the world in the Domain Realm!

The original fruit she gifted carried a special aura:

The aura of the World-Origin Object at the creation of the world!!

The World-Origin Object had a special purpose: a necessity for ascending to the Saint’s path!

Since Chen Yan ascended to the Celestial Human Realm, he had traveled from the East to the West and then to Africa.

He had been intentionally or unintentionally searching for the World-Origin Object of this world!

And today, at this moment, he finally found a clue!

On the handle of this knife, the object resembling both jade and stone held a faint, weak but very distinct aura of the World-Origin Object!

Chen Yan gazed at this item for a while, then casually stored it in his Storage Jade Pendant.

It seemed not only the previous God Stick had some skills.

The so-called "True God" of this place also had some skills!

"Killing for treasure sounds unpleasant, but occasionally indulging, especially when it’s a fight between thieves, is acceptable."

Chen Yan smiled slightly, turned, and left the blood-soaked meeting hall filled with corpses.

At night, gunshots and flames already spread throughout the North District. In the huge Governor’s Mansion, the servants had scattered and hid during the slaughter in the meeting hall. At this moment, standing in the courtyard and looking at the vast Governor’s Mansion, it seemed as if it were deserted.

The lights were on, but there was no sound.

Chen Yan lightly shifted his body, transforming into a bird, and dashed towards the South District.

The Sacrificial Priest’s escape technique was good, but he couldn’t escape!

Especially after taking a hit from Chen Yan’s Finger Sword, marked by his Primordial Qi.

Previously, Chen Yan had walked through the South District twice, searching street by street without finding a trace, leading him to believe the opponent had some method to conceal Primordial Qi fluctuations.

But now, with his Primordial Qi marker, if he could still evade Chen Yan’s pursuit, then as this world’s first at the Celestial Human Realm, he might as well die on the spot!
