After hearing this, Wang Mang broke out in cold sweat.
Damn!
Had it not been for the system’s notification, he would have opened the box without hesitation.
After all, this was human nature.
In addition, this box could not be probed by spiritual sense, so it was impossible to know what was inside. Who would have thought that there would be a portion of a Tier 6 existence inside?
He had not expected to come across a Tier 6 existence in this world. After all, he speculated that even the Saints in this world had yet to reach Tier 6.
The third mission option’s rewards were the most generous. However, could Wang Mang really resist the possession of the ancient demon, even if it was only a portion of it?
He did not think so, and was not so stupid as to overestimate himself during times like these. He would never treat his life as a joke.
Therefore, Wang Mang said without hesitation, “System, I choose Mission 1!”
[Ding! Congratulations! Mission completed!]
[Ding! Congratulations! Obtained 1 million energy points!]
After hearing the system’s voice, Wang Mang’s forehead was covered in sweat, and he was about to put down the metal box in his hand.
However, right at this moment, an angry voice came from behind.
“Put down the treasure! Otherwise, I’ll definitely kill you!”
This sudden voice startled Wang Mang.
When he looked over, he saw a white-haired old man standing at the door.
The aura he was exuding was extremely powerful, and Wang Mang felt an intense sense of oppression just from his aura. It seemed that one of the peak-level Zenith Heaven realm experts had decided to come here in the end, which was simply beyond Wang Mang’s expectations.
Why had someone this strong come to the side hall? Despite this old man’s strength, had he not dared to fight with the rest for the greater opportunities, and had decided to settle for scraps?
Thinking this, Wang Mang immediately felt disdain for the old man in his heart.
Of course, on the surface, Wang Mang was perfectly respectful.
“Greetings, Senior!”
Even though An Lan was also displeased with this old man, he still maintained a respectful look on his face.
After seeing Wang Mang and An Lan’s attitude, the old man who had been ready to make a move at any time suddenly smiled.
He liked those who were able to read the room.
“Not bad! If this old man had the same resolve as you young ones, I would have broken through to the Saint Emperor realm long ago.”
The old man walked over with his hands behind his back. He glanced at Wang Mang briefly, and then took the box.
Hearing this, Wang Mang immediately smiled and flattered the old man, “You’re too polite, Senior. You’re a peak-level Zenith Heaven realm expert now. Wouldn’t it be easy for you to break through to the Saint Emperor realm?”
After hearing Wang Mang’s fawning tone, the old man nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand.
“Alright, the two of you can leave now!”
“I’m in a good mood today, so 1 won’t make things difficult for you.”
Hearing this, Wang Mang sneered inwardly, but his face was full of desire as he begged pleadingly, “Senior, I also want to broaden my horizons. Why don’t you open it and let me see what kind of treasure it is?”
The old man raised an eyebrow after hearing this, but after glancing at Wang Mang, he said in a good mood, “Alright! I’ll show you!”
Hearing this, Wang Mang retreated some distance without batting an eyelid.
This scene made the old man extremely satisfied.
Although Wang Mang’s strength was insignificant in his eyes, having anyone stand too close would make him vigilant.
However, what he did not know was that Wang Mang had retreated because he already knew what was inside the iron box. Wang Mang merely wanted to trick him and see what would happen.
“I’ll open it and take a look.”
As he spoke, the old man slowly opened the iron box in his hand.
Kacha!
When the old man opened the metal box, Wang Mang saw a black gas escape from the box, which instantly drilled into the old man’s ears, nose, and mouth.
At the same time, the old man knelt on the ground in pain and let out a miserable cry.
Seeing this, Wang Mang and An Lan were stunned.
Wang Mang immediately rushed out of the door.
Seeing this scene, An Lan immediately followed suit, clearly frightened.
At the same time, the old man in the room now had a strange and indifferent expression.
It was as if the one who was screaming in pain earlier was not him. Black qi surged out of his eyes.
“This body is too weak. I have to get myself a better one.”
On the other hand, Wang Mang, who had already fled far away from the house, heaved a sigh of relief.
It was too f*cking terrifying!
That black aura was too powerful, far more powerful than the auras he had sensed from the Fiendgod realm cultivators he had seen in this place!
At the same time, Wang Mang felt a chill run down his spine. Fortunately, he had not opened the metal box. There was not even a o.oi% chance that he would be able to resist the possession.
“Master, that aura is too terrifying. It’s even more terrifying than a Fiendgod realm expert!”
“Fortunately, Master did not open that box. Otherwise…”
At this time, An Lan said this with a face full of fear.
Wang Mang’s face was filled with helplessness, and he quickly rushed toward the other side hall. Staying in the left side hall with that Tier 6 existence was too dangerous!
Soon after arriving at the right side hall, Wang Mang quickly found another room that had never been opened before.
After pondering for a moment, he pushed open the door, and found that this room was also covered in dust.
However, what made Wang Mang’s hair stand on end was…
In the middle of the room, there was also a metal box that looked exactly the same as the last one!
At this moment, a hoarse laugh came from behind Wang Mang.
“Little guy, help me open this metal box!”
Wang Mang’s entire body trembled. He turned around and saw the old man who had been tricked by him earlier.
At this moment, this old man was looking at him with a strange smile..
