Chapter 508: The Pursuit of the Helian Merchant Alliance
Upon seeing his appearance, the old man from the Helian Merchant Alliance felt a pang in his heart again.
He also didn't know whether the anger displayed by old man Yue Long was due to his real temper or he was just pretending.
But no matter what, since the other party has taken this attitude, he must give a response.
"Please calm down, senior. Before we set out, Lord Mingzun did not explain what this treasure is. He just gave us a sensory object and said that after we reach the Feiling Clan, we will naturally be able to sense the existence of this object!"
Hearing the old man's words, Yue Long's eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't even know about these two cultivators who were at the peak of the fusion stage?
No!
It's not necessarily that they don't know. He immediately rejected his idea and thought that these two people probably knew it but just didn't want to tell him.
With such tight-lipped statements, it seems that this so-called treasure is really extraordinary!
"Even you don't know that this so-called treasure is not the Xuantian treasure, right? Could it be that what you are looking for is the newly appeared Xuantian Huaqi Gourd?" Two terrifying rays of light shot out of Yue Long's eyes.
Upon hearing this, the white-haired old man's heart suddenly skipped a beat. The Helian Merchant Alliance was indeed also looking for the Xuantian Qi Gourd, but the two of them came to the Feiling Clan this time not for the Xuantian Qi Gourd, but for the Fantian Flag.
"Senior, you are joking. How dare our Chamber of Commerce set its sights on the Xuantian Qi Gourd!" said the white-haired old man with two dry laughs.
"Hehe, you don't dare to come up with this idea. Who else in the spiritual world dares to do it? Don't tell me you haven't been looking for the Xuantian Huaqi Gourd!" Yue Long said after sneering twice.
"Well, maybe our alliance is also looking for the Xuantian Huaqi Gourd, but that is not the purpose of our two brothers coming here. We are only here for the precious treasure that was lost in the Chamber of Commerce. We don't care about the rest!" said the white-haired old man with an awkward smile.
"If that's the case, why are you still asking me? Didn't you just tell me that old man Mingzun gave you the precious thing you sensed?"
"You have already arrived at the Feiling tribe's territory. You should be able to easily sense the location of that treasure, right?"
"What? Are you still afraid that I will stop you from finding it? Don't worry, as long as you determine the location of that precious treasure, the Feiling tribe will definitely cooperate!" Yue Long said with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
"This..." When the old man heard this, the embarrassment on his face became even more intense.
"In fact, after we arrived at the Feiling tribe, the sensing object didn't work!" said the white-haired old man after thinking for a while.
"Hmm? Are you kidding me? Since I can't sense it, it means that your so-called treasure is not in our Feiling tribe. Why are you bothering me?"
"Well, Senior Yue, our Chamber of Commerce is sure that this precious treasure must have appeared in the Feiling Clan. After all, this result was calculated by Master Tong, the most top fortune-teller of our Chamber of Commerce!" said the white-haired old man with an extremely respectful look.
As soon as he heard the name Tong Lao, Yue Long's expression immediately became uncertain.
"I didn't expect you to invite that old guy out, and you still say it's not a Xuantian treasure? Even if it's not the Xuantian Qi Gourd, it's probably another Xuantian treasure, right?"
"This... I don't know!" The white-haired old man quickly pretended to be confused.
"Humph, since this is the result of the divination by that old fellow, then it should be correct. In this case, there must be something wrong with the sensory object that Ming Zun gave you!"
"I didn't expect that the famous Ming Zun would also fail!" Yue Long said sarcastically.
"It's hard to say whether Lord Mingzun failed . It's also possible that the person who stole the treasure of our Chamber of Commerce has left the Feiling tribe with the help of the teleportation array. So we would like to ask the senior to open the record of the Feiling tribe activating the long-distance teleportation array during this period!" said the sinister young man at this time.
"Nonsense! This is top secret information of our Feiling clan. How can we let outsiders know it?" Yue Long's face turned cold and he immediately rejected it.
It wasn't that he wanted to deliberately make things difficult for the two monks from the Helian Merchant Alliance, but the activation record of the teleportation array was indeed top secret information. It was of great importance to the clan and it absolutely could not be leaked.
It seemed that the two powerful members of the Merchant Alliance also knew that this was a bit too much. After they looked at each other, the white-haired old man smiled softly and said:
"If you are unwilling to open the teleportation array activation record to us, then we have another plan!"
"What's the plan? Tell me about it!" Yue Long said leisurely.
"Let's launch a blood sacrifice. With the help of the power of the blood sacrifice, the two of us can determine the whereabouts of that precious treasure!" said the white-haired old man calmly.
Upon hearing this, Yue Long's expression suddenly changed slightly. The hand stroking his beard paused slightly and said coldly: "We Feiling people will not accept blood sacrifice!"
"Of course we won't perform a blood sacrifice on the nobles' members. Aren't there many small tribes around the nobles? Among them, some tribes don't even have Mahayana monks. How can they be qualified to gain a foothold in the spiritual world? Why not drag them out for a blood sacrifice this time!" said the white-haired old man with a smile.
After hearing this, Yue Long pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
It was not difficult at all to perform a blood sacrifice on a small tribe that did not even have a Mahayana stage, so he accepted this plan immediately.
The disappearance of a small tribe can also bring some benefits to the Feiling tribe, and at the same time they don't have to hand over the tribe's top-secret teleportation array activation information. It can be said to be a win-win situation.
Normally, because they have to maintain a strategic balance with several medium-sized ethnic groups around them, the Feiling tribe does not dare to take action against these small ethnic groups easily.
After all, there needs to be a buffer zone between ethnic groups.
But this time, with the help of the power of the Helian Merchant Alliance, the Feiling tribe can expand openly.
While he was thinking about all this, he heard the white-haired old man say, "However, I'm afraid that just the two of us brothers may not be enough to sacrifice the entire clan, so we have to ask the Feiling clan for a little help!"
This was exactly what Yue Long wanted, so his expression immediately softened and he said in a gentle voice: "I will tell the Council of Elders about this matter, and the Feiling people will cooperate with your actions!"
"Thank you very much, senior. We two juniors will take our leave first!" The white-haired old man and the sinister young man bowed to Yue Long, and then they withdrew.
After the two men disappeared, Yue Long's expression gradually became gloomy.
"The Helian Merchant Alliance is looking for a Xuantian treasure, and it's not the newly appeared Xuantian Qi Gourd. So which one is it?"
"So far, there are only two or three Xuantian treasures whose whereabouts are unknown. If the Helian Merchant Alliance finds one more, its strength will surely increase dramatically..."
Yue Long thought so in his heart, and a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.
After a moment, he smiled again. Whether the Helian Merchant Alliance was strong or not was not his concern. The ones who should be worried about were the big families.
"Could this Xuantian treasure be related to that kid?" Yue Long narrowed his eyes and Ye Changsheng's face appeared in his mind.
After a brief thought, he immediately felt that Ye Changsheng must be the most suspicious.
“Hehe, this kid is quite courageous. He dares to snatch things from the Helian Business Alliance. Let’s see if you have the ability to keep this Xuantian treasure!” After Yue Long smiled, he sat back on the futon and closed his eyes to rest.
Although he guessed that what the Helian Merchant Alliance was looking for was probably in Ye Changsheng's hands, Yue Long had no intention of telling the Merchant Alliance about this news.
This is of no benefit to him or the Feiling people, and is not in their interests.
The correct answer is to play deaf and dumb.
Let those people from the Chamber of Commerce do whatever they want!
…
In the Thunder Continent, somewhere in the wasteland, a thick white pillar of light that reached the sky and the earth suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Around this pillar of light, the space trembled as if it had become extremely unstable.
Invisible forces spread out like ripples, quickly raising a strong wind in the surrounding wasteland, and sweeping up a cloud of dust that spread in all directions.
Not far from the thick pillar of light, a huge dragon roar sounded, resounding between heaven and earth, as if some creature like a dragon was startled by the sudden appearance of the thick pillar of light.
This is a ferocious beast that is dozens of feet long, with a pair of colorful wings on its back, and looks like a dragon.
A closer look revealed that apart from a pair of unusually gorgeous wings, the entire body of this ferocious beast was golden, and it looked no different from a dragon.
On the back of this winged dragon, there are five tall figures standing. It seems that their appearance has many similarities with humans.
However, each of them has a delicate little horn growing on their head. The color of this horn is different, and the horns on the heads of the five foreign monks are different.
The leader had a silver horn on his head, and his aura seemed to be at the fusion stage. The three men and one woman behind him had horns on their heads that were black, green, red, and white respectively. They were all cultivators in the middle and late stages of the refining stage.
If there were any cultivators from the Thunder Continent here, they would surely recognize immediately that these five people were all cultivators from the famous Jiaochi tribe of the Thunder Continent.
At this moment, the attention of this group of Jiaochi monks was all attracted by the huge beam of light in the distance.
The moment a burly old man with a black horn saw the white beam of light, his face immediately showed excitement and he said hurriedly:
"A white pillar of light reaching the sky. Could this strange phenomenon be the appearance of a Guanghan Order?"
"I heard that when Guanghan Order was born, a white beam of light appeared out of thin air on the earth. The movement here is very likely the Guanghan Order!" The woman dressed as a young woman with a white horn on her head said excitedly.
When the other two Jiaochi clan refining cultivators heard this, excitement showed on their faces, and they all looked at the silver-horned young man standing in the front.
"Sir, shall we go over and take a look? This is very likely a Guanghan Order that has appeared!" The red-horned young man suggested, with an undisguised eagerness in his eyes.
It's no wonder. All the Jiaochi cultivators here know how important the Guanghan Order is to them.
In fact, they came out of the tribe this time just to find the Guanghan Order. Once they could get one and hand it back to the tribe, they would get countless benefits.
Especially for the two cultivators at the peak of the Refinement Realm among these five people, once they can find a Guanghan Order, they will be eligible to enter the Guanghan Realm with the help of this Guanghan Order.
The benefits that Guanghan Realm can bring to them are unimaginable!
This is worth their efforts.
After hearing what his subordinates said, the handsome man with silver horns glanced at the huge white beam of light over there with a faint smile on his face.
"Sir, the Tianxuan Compass has no response. It should not be the Guanghan Order. We still need to be careful!" The green-horned young man said cautiously at last.
Hearing this, the silver-horned man chuckled and said calmly: "The Tianxuan Compass is not always accurate. It has happened before that the Guanghan Order appeared and the Tianxuan Compass did not react!"
"Even if this noise is not the appearance of Guanghan Order, it must be some amazing treasure. Let's go and take a look immediately!" said the young man with silver horns.
Hearing this, the old man with black horns was overjoyed. He quickly opened his mouth and let out a whistle, and a strange sound came out of his mouth.
Then, the winged dragon under their feet seemed to have received some order. With a whoosh, its huge body flashed, blurred for a moment, and disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, the dragon appeared several miles away, and its speed of escape was simply jaw-dropping.
Not long after, the dragon and the Jiao Chi people appeared hundreds of feet away from the huge white light column.
At this moment, the thick white beam of light had disappeared, and in its place, there was a handsome young man standing in the air, looking around, as if observing the situation around him.
The strange young man naturally saw the team of the Jiaochi tribe, but what surprised the people of the Jiaochi tribe was that this young man, whose cultivation was only in the middle stage of the Refining Void Realm, actually glanced at them and then moved his gaze away.
It seemed as if he didn't care about them at all.
This scene immediately made several Jiao Chi cultivators who had hurried over furious. When their Jiao Chi people went to various places in the Thunder Continent, weren't they looked at with awe and respect everywhere?
This cultivator in front of me, whose race is unknown, obviously has a not very high level of cultivation. When he sees a cultivator in the fusion stage, why doesn't he rush over to greet him?
So rude!
For a moment, all the Jiaochi monks felt murderous in their hearts.
Of course, the relatively rude attitude of this strange young man alone was not enough to make them want to kill him, and the people of the Jiaochi tribe were not so violent.
A person who can be so violent cannot cultivate.
What really made them want to kill was that this person appeared in front of the huge pillar of light.
Obviously, most of the things in the light column have fallen into this person's hands.
