Chapter 4072: Shocking Everyone
Translator: ImmortalEmperorBao
Others naturally noticed this phenomenon unraveling at the plain. Numerous sects sent experts there to scout.
The beams were as bright as countless suns and startled everyone. This was doubly true for those in Armament Mountain.
âWhat is going on?â The disciples didnât know whether this was auspicious or ominous.
Recently, only bad things have been happening to their sect - the mysterious disappearances and the quaking at the ancestral peak. Thus, another big commotion left them nervous. Outsiders had no idea but they had a tough time recently.
âWhat is this a sign of?â Another murmured.
âLooks like itâs coming from the Tangâs plain, isnât that an abandoned area?â A powerful disciple activated his vision.
âHmm, maybe a treasure is appearing?â A friend speculated.
This excited the crowd. âReally? That desolate land actually has treasures?â
Those from Armament thought nothing of the plain.
âWho knows?â Someone versed in history said: âThat clan had big shots before.â
âWhat do you mean by big shots? Like a dao lord? I havenât heard of any dao lord with this last name.â Others hurriedly asked.
âNo, their ancestor was a tycoon, extremely wealthyâ¦â The first disciple responded.
âStill just a country bumpkin then.â The others said.
Members of the cultivation world didnât hold a high opinion of money. Most only cared about power and the fists.
âNot quite.â He explained: âHe was special and created a method called money fall, itâs magical. Plus, he was rich enough to stand out in all of Eight Desolaces.â
âHmm, in that case, maybe he really did leave behind a treasury.â Someone else speculated.
âThen what the hell are we waiting for? Letâs go check it out.â The group wanted to travel to the plain.
However, one guy hesitated and said: âI donât think we can go outside right now. The elders arenât letting us leave our post.â
âI donât get it, we didnât even panic this much during the disappearances.â His friend said.
They started talking about the issue privately.
The disappearance scared them at first but all the victims returned after losing their belongings. This wasnât a big deal and it didnât kill the spirit of the sect. However, something else happened recently.
The rules became strict and numerous defensive lines were put up. Disciples werenât allowed to travel freely. Since the order came from above, they didnât dare to question it.
The chief elder, one of the strongest elders here, also gazed at the plain.
âWhat is going on there?â He found this astonishing.
âWe havenât heard of any peculiarities recently.â A disciple next to him reported.
âGo ask the Tang, see whatâs happening.â He ordered.
Armament Mountain allowed sects within its jurisdiction to deal with their own internal problems. The elder also followed this rule.
The disciple went to gather information and came back to report: âElder, the plain has a new master now. The members of the Tang are leaving as well.â
âNew master? Who bought it?â He slightly frowned, wondering who would buy the crappy piece of land.
âA guy named Li Qiye, everyone says that heâs the richest in the world.â The disciple had a strange expression.
âLi Qiye, the brat that won the Preeminent Legacy?â He frowned again.
âYes.â The disciple answered.
âWhich sect is he from?â He asked.
âIâm not sure, heâs definitely not one of us though.â The disciple answered.
âHe came to buy land under our jurisdiction?â He said.
The sect never cared who the Tang sold the plain to before. However, they thought that since it was so close to their sect, no outsiders would purchase it. Thus, he had a bad feeling about this unknown brat.
âI heard that First Brother tried to stop it but Clan Master Tang insisted. That Li Qiye guy paid one hundred million, he couldnât keep up.â This disciple had access to new information.
âHmph, trying to act tough with dirty money here?â He snorted. It seemed that Li Qiye, a new-rich, was trying to provoke their sect by flaunting his wealth.
âTell your First Brother to be in charge and get to the bottom of this.â He ordered with a serious tone.
âI understand. But, Li Qiye is not under our jurisdictionâ¦â The disciple bowed and hesitated.
âHeâs in our territory right now and will have to obey.â He paused for a bit before continuing: âIt doesnât matter how rich he is. If heâs a dragon, heâll coil for me, a tiger? He better crouch down. Otherwise, hmph, Iâll teach him a lesson.â
âAffirmative.â The disciple said before pondering for a bit: âShould we report this to the sect master?â
âNo need, she has something more important to take care of so sheâs in isolated cultivation. Just report back to me.â He waved his hand.
The disciple obeyed. However, he found it quite strange because their sect master hasnât shown up for administrative duties for a while now. Their sect master had always worked hard and never slacked off before.
He wasnât the only one thinking this either. Other sect members shared the same sentiment.
