Losses of Watertown (Added for monthly tickets)_1 Chapter 656: 283: Jointly dealing with the black market!
Losses of Watertown (Added for monthly tickets)_1 At first, when Chen Dengming suggested that he steal from himself, Qiao Zhaoxian was dumbfounded.
However, when he suddenly realized a group of loose cultivators were following him like starving wolves, he immediately understood Chen Dengming’s tricks and hurriedly sent a sound transmission in annoyance.
“Chen Baimao, what the hell are you doing?
Visit fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm for the best novel reading experi𝒆nce.
This underwater ruin was discovered by the elders of my sect.
It has been excavated before and holds almost a thousand years old Water Lingzhi that can heal my injuries!
...
Instead of helping, you’re messing things up!”
“What?
This ancient site was discovered by your Heavenly Dao Sect?
And it’s been excavated?
I thought it was a blessed place found by our Ancestor of Longevity…?”
Chen Dengming was startled and then slightly irritated.
Now he understood why this blessed place hadn’t been discovered before; it suddenly revealed the ancient site just as he approached, thus attracting attention.
That little scoundrel, Qiao Zhaoxian, was wasting nature’s treasures!
He probably came here to open the ruins and retrieve the Lingzhi to heal his injuries.
But when he couldn’t open the ruins, the commotion he created exposed this place.
Having no choice, he had to collaborate with the local cultivation families for excavation, which led to the leakage of information and attracted these people.
The cause and effect were not hard to guess, and perhaps had been guessed very accurately.
After thinking through this, Chen Dengming was filled with frustration and regret but didn’t dwell on it.
He had no idea why the bountiful land discovered by their ancestor years ago would have such valuable resources and was not an ordinary blessed place.
After receiving the divine transmission, Qiao Zhaoxian was also shocked, “You mean this place was discovered by the ancestor of your Longevity sect?
Could it be that our two sects have an overlapping list of unclaimed overseas resources?”
“Whether it’s overlapping or not, I don’t know.
All I know is that this blessed place has now been completely wasted!
Even if we occupy it now, once it attracts more powerful individuals and our identities are exposed, we won’t be able to hold onto this place.”
Chen Dengming responded with a mixture of frustration and regret.
Just for a nearly thousand-year-old Water Lingzhi, a likely suitable development and inheritance site got exposed.
Even if it’s a slightly lower valued underwater blessed land, it’s still like finding a sesame and losing a watermelon.
However, from Qiao Zhaoxian’s perspective, his actions were understandable considering he needed to regain his ability to protect himself in an unfamiliar environment as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Qiao Zhaoxian had already taken the He family cultivators deep into the seabed, where they found a Watertown architectural complex located on a large coral reef.
Upon close inspection, one could even see a luminous glow beneath the coral reef, indicating a Spirit Vein.
At this time, the camouflage formation outside the Watertown had already been broken, revealing the grand and splendourous city.
The sight was mesmerizing, with vast waves and islands looming large.
A number of guardian creatures, transformed from the power of guardian formations and resembling all manner of fish, shrimp, crab generals, surfaced, wowing everyone with their variety and abundance.
“A chaotic stir-fry of shrimp soldiers and crab generals?”
Chen Dengming, controlling his incarnation leading loose cultivators into the scene, was taken aback when he saw this.
Then he realized the loose cultivators’ claims about underwater ruins were genuine.
This really was an ancient site.
And it seemed to be a Watertown that had long been discovered, with formations set up and occupied by others.
However, according to the records on the map provided by his sect, this blessed land was originally just a three-level Spirit Vein hidden under a coral reef.
“This blessed land was rechecked by our second ancestor over 300 years ago in partnership with the Wind Chime Sect, and the information noted is from that reassessment.
Could it be that during the 300 years since then, a high-ranking person from Heavenly Dao Sect discovered and covertly built this Watertown, claiming it as their own?”
Chen Dengming was puzzled.
On the other hand, Qiao Zhaoxian began to attack the defensive array with the many He Family cultivators, intending to forcefully enter.
At this point, when the He family cultivators saw the Watertown within their reach, they were so excited their eyes gleamed green.
Temporarily ignoring the loose cultivators, they put all their effort into attacking the defensive array.
The loose cultivators, unimpeded by the He Family cultivators, did not want to cause trouble for themselves either.
They tacitly attacked the defensive array, planning to sneak in later, snatch some treasures and slip away.
Both the He Family and the loose cultivators understood the difficulty of holding onto this Watertown, and planned to go in, quickly grab what they could, and get out.
To truly occupy this Watertown, the bare minimum requirement would be a sect helmed by a Golden Core great cultivator.
Worse, if the news spread, it might attract Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
For Qiao Zhaoxian, his priority was to quickly recover his injuries and strength.
If he delayed any longer, it would be hard for him to recover fully, potentially affecting his future potential.
He deliberately teamed up with the He Family, which only had two Foundation Establishment cultivators, considering them manageable allies who could help him break the formation without posing any threat later on.
However, what brought him immense relief and surprise was the arrival of Chen Dengming, which made him quickly change his plans.
At this moment, seeing that the defensive array of the Watertown was about to be broken, the many He family cultivators around him slowed down their attacks, clearly harboring their own thoughts.
Qiao Zhaoxian remained alert and sent a sound transmission to Chen Dengming.
“Old Chen, where exactly are you hiding?
The formation is about to be broken, and I’ve changed my mind.
Why don’t we collude and do a little black on black?
If we join forces, I’m sure we could forcibly occupy this Watertown.
Even though we won’t be able to hold onto it for long, it would still be enough time for us to empty it…”
