Chapter 2049: Chapter 2053: Masters from All Sides Stirring Restlessly
"Report! Your Majesty, the Little Leopard Girl Yan Ruolan and the Fox King joined forces and captured Leopard City, Leopard City has fallen!"
In Man City, the Lion King was organizing its loyal experts to go to Imperial City, South State, and around the Wolf Clan territory to set up formations, waiting for the Outer Heaven Treasure to descend when a general brought him bad news -- Leopard City had fallen back into the hands of the Little Leopard Girl!
However, it seemed that the Lion King was somewhat prepared in his heart, suppressing his anger, he instructed his secret guard commander: "Remember, you must not easily reveal your identities. There will likely be many groups vying for the treasure, observe quietly and reap the benefits without much effort. The Lion Clan’s current situation isn’t good. If you can bring back the Outer Heaven Treasure for me, it would save the Lion Clan from a crisis. Upon your return, I will promote you, granting you a lifetime of wealth and honor!"
"Rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do my utmost!"
After the general withdrew, the Lion King asked the general who delivered the report: "How is the coalition army of the Leopard Clan’s cities?"
"The coalition army of the four Leopard Clan cities has retreated, but they have declared that they will resist the rule of the Little Leopard Girl, claiming she is unfit to be the Leopard King."
"Hmm, very good... What’s the situation with the Tiger Clan and Xiong Clan?"
"The Tiger Clan is loud but ineffective. Their raging internal conflict previously caused significant depletion of troops, so whether it’s intimidating the Xiong Clan or claiming to collaborate with the Little Leopard Girl against the Leopard Clan, the Tiger King has only gathered 20,000 troops for show, not participating in any wars. Based on the latest intelligence from my spies, the Tiger King has secretly ordered his troops to retreat."
The general continued: "Your Majesty, as for the Xiong Clan, they are currently embroiled in an internal battle. Many generals refuse to submit to the Xiong King’s teenage daughter and have proposed a new candidate for Xiong King. However, there are also many generals who support her, and currently, the factions have formed multiple camps, preparing to clash."
"Good! Very good!"
The Lion King, feeling he hadn’t heard good news in a long time, finally received news to his satisfaction, and managed a slight smile.
"Hmm, as expected, I said the Tiger King is crafty, how could he obediently serve Qin Tian? Apart from the Tiger Clan, the current Xiong Clan’s internal conflict also grants me a respite. Qin Tian and I both dare not easily dispatch troops to interfere. In that case, let’s wait... wait for the chance to counterattack!"
...
Bang!
That night, across the southern lands of the Spiritual Domain, thunder rumbled, lightning clashed across the sky, purple lightning bolts seemingly threatening to split the sky!
Accompanying the roar of lightning, the rainbow-colored celestial star that had been visible in the sky for three days gradually disappeared...
Almost simultaneously with the disappearance of the rainbow star, a golden light from the deepest part of the sky approached from afar, slowly descending like a meteor, enveloping the entire southern sky in golden light!
"There it is, the Outer Heaven Treasure descended... Such blinding light, it’s making a statement to the world,"
In Southern Barbarians, Qin Tian looked up at the golden meteor streaking across the sky and chuckled bitterly.
Standing beside him, Zhou Yang and Chen Jingsi.
Zhou Yang remarked, "Looks like this will be another storm of bloodshed."
In the Spiritual Domain, the pursuit of treasures is what immortality cultivators value most. A treasure, if used well, can save an immortality cultivator years or even decades of arduous cultivation, it’s truly a lucrative affair. Hence, for treasures like the Outer Heaven Treasure, immortality cultivators are overwhelmingly drawn to it.
"One, Two, Three... Three..."
Beside Zhou Yang, Chen Jingsi stared at the sky, counting softly with her fingers.
"Are you counting again? What are you calculating this time? Little Witch, you counted wrong just now, one two three four, not one two three three..."
Before Qin Tian could finish his sentence, Chen Jingsi sharply interrupted him: "While this lady is calculating heavenly destiny, can you not be chatty beside me, affecting my performance?"
Qin Tian and Zhou Yang were taken aback, thinking, oh dear, this little witch sure has a temper.
"What do you know, I’m counting the number of treasures... Three. Hmm!"
Chen Jingsi rolled her eyes at Qin Tian.
"Are you certain?" Qin Tian asked.
Chen Jingsi confidently replied, "When have I ever miscalculated heavenly destiny?"
"Nine times out of ten you were wrong."
Qin Tian and Zhou Yang spoke almost in unison.
Swish!
Chen Jingsi felt immediately embarrassed.
"With the advantages we have in this treasure hunt, we must strive to compete. If there really are three treasures, hehe, then we must at least get one, or it’ll be such a loss."
Qin Tian looked at Zhou Yang, saying: "Old Zhou, let’s do this, you and Blade stay here to oversee the major affairs, I’ll go investigate."
In reality, they’re somewhat stretched thin in Southern Barbarians, and only Qin Tian has the absolute strength to go alone.
"Alright."
Zhou Yang nodded.
"I want to go."
Chen Jingsi naturally didn’t want to miss this opportunity to go out, so she immediately said in an unquestionable tone: "It’s decided, I’m going with you."
"Forget it, let’s go our separate ways, I’m not going with you."
Qin Tian anticipated Chen Jingsi would accompany him and immediately refused.
In fact, Qin Tian has always underestimated Chen Jingsi.
As time spent together grew longer, Qin Tian discovered this Chen Jingsi, besides being able to calculate heavenly destiny, her cultivation is not low. She’s seemingly deliberately hiding it, but Qin Tian could discern that Chen Jingsi’s cultivation is at least at Small Immortal Realm Peak.
In the Spiritual Domain, such cultivation is perfectly capable of ensuring one’s safety.
Moreover, Chen Jingsi’s cunning has helped her understand the maps and local customs after over a year in West Continent, traveling alone is no problem.
Thus, after deciding, no matter how Chen Jingsi argued, Qin Tian refused to take her, leaving her extremely frustrated.
Resolute in his decision, Qin Tian departed that very night, ceaselessly heading toward the area where the treasure fell.
At this time, the sky still glowed golden, as Qin Tian quickened his pace toward the site, suddenly the ground shook, and he knew that this was the meteor brought by the Outer Heaven Treasure, which had fallen.
At this point, Qin Tian was less than a hundred kilometers from the site of the tremors, he accelerated further, pressing onward.
Meanwhile, he noticed dozens or even hundreds of lights in the surrounding sky, quickly moving closer to where the treasure descended!
"Haha, it begins, doesn’t it? I wonder, whose hands will this time end up in?"
Qin Tian stopped his steps because his recognition factor in the Spiritual Domain is too high, so he paused to disguise himself before finally heading toward the core area.
