Soon a ball of light rose from the blonde woman's body and then disappeared into the void.
Ning Beichen did not stop her during the entire process.
The blonde woman was overjoyed and said to Ning Beichen fiercely, "I didn't expect you to be so arrogant. I have already notified the people from Shenzongting. They will be here soon, and you will never know the secret of the Holy Grail."
"Noisy!"
Ning Beichen pointed a finger in the air, and a bloody hole immediately appeared on the blonde woman's forehead.
"I let you call for help, but it doesn't mean you can live."
Ning Beichen said disdainfully as he looked at her fading eyes.
"Also... the Holy Grail, which you regard as supreme, is just a useless broken cup in my eyes. Are you asking for trouble by threatening me with this thing?"
The blonde woman's eyes widened, and she finally stopped breathing with unwillingness.
Ning Beichen did not leave. Instead, he notified Linglong to continue hiding and not to come out.
Instead of being chased by them again and again, it was better to counter-kill them, so that they would know that he was not someone to be trifled with as they thought.
Not long after, several more strong experts from Shenzongting appeared, but they were all destroyed by Ning Beichen's 'Bèng Miè'. (Burst Annihilation)
It was only then that Ning Beichen took Linglong and left.
It was unclear whether Shenzongting knew that Ning Beichen was difficult to deal with, but for the next few days, no one from Shenzongting pursued them, and even the drones and helicopters disappeared.
However, Ning Beichen did not think that Shenzongting would give up so easily. Not to mention the Holy Grail and the treasure vault, he had killed so many people from Shenzongting this time. If Shenzongting could swallow this anger, then Shenzongting would not be Shenzongting.
So Ning Beichen had a premonition that the next attack from Shenzongting would be overwhelming and they would no longer rashly send people to be slaughtered by Ning Beichen.
Moreover, Shenzongting should have known that sending more people would not be effective against someone like Ning Beichen; powerful individuals were needed.
On the seventh day, Ning Beichen and Linglong had not yet left the no-man's-land of the Sahara Desert.
At this moment, they were in a small oasis.
Ning Beichen was looking at a strange pool of water in the oasis.
The water in the pool was very turbid, almost all mud and slurry, but it was the only water source here.
Ning Beichen was not bothered by the dirty water, but rather found the pool strange.
Ning Beichen wanted to boil water to drink earlier, but he had no pot, so he took out the Holy Grail, filled it with muddy water, and prepared to boil it.
Before Ning Beichen could start a fire, he found that the muddy water in the Holy Grail had become clear.
But this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that Ning Beichen discovered that this water contained divine power.
Ning Beichen took a sip of the water from the Holy Grail and found that his cultivation had increased by a tiny bit.
So Ning Beichen was unsure whether it was the effect of the Holy Grail or the effect of the water from the muddy pool.
If it was the effect of the Holy Grail, then this Holy Grail was truly amazing, no wonder Shenzongting wanted to get it back at all costs.
To verify this.
Ning Beichen dug a pit more than ten meters deep with his bare hands in another place and tested the groundwater.
He then found that although the water from outside the pool could produce a little divine power when placed in the Holy Grail, it was incomparable to the muddy water from the pool.
"That pool is strange."
Ning Beichen muttered to himself, which made him more interested in the pool.
Next, Ning Beichen continued to observe and found that many animals would come to this pool to drink water, and after drinking, these animals would become energetic.
"Could there be any treasure at the bottom of this pool?"
Ning Beichen's eyes lit up. He suddenly thought of a possibility and immediately walked to the edge of the pool and started digging.
"Ning Beichen, what are you doing?"
Linglong saw Ning Beichen digging in the pool and couldn't understand his actions.
"Digging a hole."
Ning Beichen replied while digging, but he did not explain to Linglong, because even he himself only had a guess, and guesses might not be true.
The deeper Ning Beichen dug, the clearer the originally turbid pool water became, instead of getting dirtier.
After digging for an unknown amount of time, Ning Beichen's long sword, which he was using for digging, suddenly hit something hard.
At first, Ning Beichen thought it was a stone and struck it a few times with his sword.
But he found that the sword could not cut through it at all.
So Ning Beichen started digging in the pool with his sword. After about half an hour of digging, Ning Beichen finally unearthed the hard object at the bottom of the pool, which looked like a millstone.
Ning Beichen took the object, which looked like a millstone, and weighed it. He found it to be very heavy, much heavier than stone, and it had some strange patterns on its surface.
"Ning Beichen, is this a millstone?"
Linglong asked curiously.
"I don't know, but I feel this thing is strange and of extraordinary origin."
Ning Beichen replied.
"It's just a broken stone, what extraordinary origin could it have?"
Linglong glanced at it and lost interest. For her, only valuable art pieces could excite her.
But Ning Beichen thought differently. This thing was not like stone, nor like iron. He didn't know what material it was, but when Ning Beichen held it, he could feel its extraordinary nature.
Ning Beichen swung the millstone a few times and found that it somewhat resembled a weapon, but it had no handle.
"Could the water in the pool be related to this thing?"
Ning Beichen shifted his gaze back to the pool, then he quickly stepped forward, filled the Holy Grail with some water, and began to study it.
After about ten minutes, Ning Beichen took a sip of the water from the Holy Grail and found that the water in the pool had returned to normal, no longer possessing that divine power as before.
To verify, Ning Beichen put the millstone back into the pool this time. After waiting for a while, he again put the water from the pool into the Holy Grail to test.
As expected, with the millstone in the pool, after a while, the water in the Holy Grail once again contained divine power.
"A treasure, this millstone is a treasure."
Ning Beichen was very excited. Not only was the millstone a treasure, but the Holy Grail was also a treasure.
The water produced by this thing contained divine power. Although this divine power had little benefit to him, the effect would be astonishing if he drank it for a long time.
In this way, wouldn't he, Ning Beichen, have a super treasure that could improve his cultivation?
Thinking of this, Ning Beichen was so excited that he wanted to dance.
"This thing is too monstrous. No, it absolutely cannot be known by others."
Ning Beichen, disregarding the weight of the millstone, directly carried it on his back.
