Chapter 1347: Chapter 1347: The Little Golden Coffin (Part 2)
The police officer looked at Ye Haochuan, initially only due to being deterred by Ye Haochuan’s demeanor, never expecting to receive benefits.
He originally thought he couldn’t accept money from Ye Haochuan, but when he saw the check, he was completely stunned.
It was a blank check, meaning he could fill in the amount himself.
Seeing the highest figure that was in the billions, the officer’s heart couldn’t help but flutter a few times. A small-time officer like him would never dream of seeing so much money in several lifetimes.
He had no way to resist such a valuable temptation and ultimately slipped it quickly into his own pocket.
“Rest assured, Young Master Ye, we’ll handle this matter with utmost care!”
Ye Haochuan nodded in satisfaction. It had been a long time since he used money to solve problems, and trying it again, the effect was just as good. Although billions sounded like a lot, to Ye Haochuan at this moment, it wasn’t of much use, so he casually gave it.
Speaking of which, this wasn’t really a big deal. Both parties had a verbal conflict, and it was hard to determine who was right or wrong. Plus, the injuries weren’t serious, at most meriting a few days’ detention as punishment.
For such a small issue, Ye Haochuan took out such a large stake, clearly enraged, wanting to properly deal with this Doctor Duan.
This officer was smart too, understanding this intention. After accepting the check, he immediately told another officer, “Take this damned doctor back to the station; I want to interrogate him properly!”
“Officer, he’s the one who hit me; why are you arresting me?” Doctor Duan panicked immediately.
“Darned uncle, I’m not even as old as your son!” The officer finally exploded, yelling, “I suspect you’re involved in a black market organ trafficking case; you’d better not resist, or my baton is not for show!”
Doctor Duan was immediately frightened straight, not daring to say another word, and drooped his head to follow the police.
“Isn’t this too much?” Zhang Zhenguo said somewhat reluctantly.
“In a few days, you can go to the police station, and in my name, get him out. I have matters to attend to first, so I’m leaving!”
Ye Haochuan didn’t really intend to put this doctor in a dire situation, after all, he wasn’t intentionally trying to endanger Zhang Ziyi.
What angered Ye Haochuan was that this guy clearly didn’t have the skills yet insisted on proceeding, evidently using patients as test subjects.
“By the way, don’t let anyone enter this ward. At most a day, I’ll be back!” Ye Haochuan gave one last instruction.
Leaving the hospital, Ye Haochuan first used his soul to sense the location of that pull. Then he summoned the Flying Sword and quickly flew towards it.
“Is this Shennongjia where Ziyi was sketching?”
Looking down at the vast expanse of the primeval forest, Ye Haochuan muttered to himself.
This kind of place is indeed quite suitable for remnants of the Xuanming Sect to hide.
With that trace of a pull, Ye Haochuan no longer needed to search inch by inch, flying directly in that direction. Soon, he entered the depths of the forest.
The closer he got, the stronger the pull on Zhang Ziyi’s soul. Before long, he found the location of that pull.
However, there was no sign of anyone there.
“Perspective Eyes!”
A gleam of gold flashed in Ye Haochuan’s eyes, and his vision swiftly extended downwards, clearly seeing the situation underground.
“There’s actually no underground chamber; what on earth is going on?” Having investigated the situation, Ye Haochuan’s brows furrowed tighter.
He originally thought the Xuanming Sect’s disciple should be underground, but now it didn’t seem so.
However, that pull was clearly emanating from here, so where was everyone?
Confused, Ye Haochuan once again used his Perspective Eyes to probe around.
Yet the result was the same as before, not to mention people, there wasn’t even a large stone.
“Huh? What’s that?”
Just when Ye Haochuan was feeling a bit desperate, he suddenly saw a tiny object the size of a pinky nail underground.
It was a small golden coffin, which looked like a little trinket.
But the moment Ye Haochuan saw this small coffin, his heart stirred.
Zhang Zhenguo said that after Zhang Ziyi returned from Shennongjia, she kept murmuring the word “coffin.” Could it be that she was referring to this small coffin?
The more Ye Haochuan thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, so he quickly dug through the soil and unearthed the small coffin.
At the moment his hand touched the coffin, it suddenly trembled fiercely, then unexpectedly levitated and rapidly expanded to the size of a normal coffin.
“There’s definitely something fishy!” Ye Haochuan rejoiced, having just confirmed that the pull was indeed coming from within this coffin.
It seemed he had really guessed wrong before; this time the incident probably had nothing to do with the Xuanming Sect’s people.
After the golden coffin enlarged, it suddenly seemed angered, slamming directly towards Ye Haochuan.
“Tortoise Pattern Shield!” Ye Haochuan quickly summoned a shield in front of him.
This Tortoise Pattern Shield was precisely what Ye Hao gave him in the White Court Origin Realm. Back then, thanks to his merits in contributing medicine, Yang Sen gave him the Great Yan Step, while Ye Hao gave him the Eight Extremes Palm and this shield.
As a mid-Treasure-Level shield, its defensive power was considerable.
Zing~
The coffin collided heavily with the Tortoise Pattern Shield, as if struck, and flung away furiously.
Damn, I thought it was formidable; it got repelled before I even truly attacked?
Ye Haochuan sneered inwardly.
He could tell that the coffin should be a Magical Treasure. But oddly enough, he couldn’t determine its rank.
Originally he thought it might be an artifact so advanced that he couldn’t ascertain its level. Now it seemed he was overthinking it. With such weak offensive force, it was probably not even Law-Level.
Ye Haochuan quickly retrieved the coffin, which seemed scared, shrinking back to the size of a fingernail.
Ye Haochuan tried prying it open forcefully, but no matter how much strength he exerted, the coffin didn’t budge.
“I, who don’t even fear masters at the Nascent Soul Stage, can’t deal with a mere coffin?”
“Xuanwu Force Vein, open!”
Ye Haochuan snorted coldly, activating his strongest state. Even a Treasure should fail against such power.
But, to no avail. The small coffin remained incredibly stout, showing no sign of opening.
“Divine Concealment Sword! Open for me!”
Ye Haochuan was anxious now, directly summoning the Divine Concealment Sword for slashing.
Clang~
Still to no avail, the sharp Divine Concealment Sword left not the slightest mark on the small coffin.
“Sword Breaking the Sky!”
“Sword Across the Universe!”
“Sword Destroying Star!”
“…”
A relentless barrage of attacks, if Ye Haochuan’s opponent were a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator, they’d probably have been sliced into a hundred and eighty pieces by now.
Yet this small coffin showed not the slightest sign of being damaged.
Ye Haochuan gasped for breath, staring intently at the small coffin, gritting his teeth.
He now finally affirmed that this coffin was definitely an outrageously powerful Magical Treasure. Its offensive power might not be strong, but with this defensive capacity alone, it was heaven-defying.
Had this been any other time, accidentally discovering such a Magical Treasure, Ye Haochuan would have been ecstatic.
But now, his brows were tightly knit.
Zhang Ziyi only has one day, and he had already spent so long on this coffin; how was he supposed to save Zhang Ziyi?
