"Brother Xiao, where did you go earlier?"
Meng Zhuang, who was on friendly terms with Xiao Chen, asked, finding it strange.
Xiao Chen replied calmly, "What's wrong? I just discovered an injured Flame Demon and chased after it to finish it off."
Understanding dawned on Meng Zhuang. "No wonder I could not find you. Senior Ma and Senior Liu agreed to form an alliance. We will share all the resources and treasures in the surrounding area. Whoever finds them first will get to keep them. "
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Isn't that just nice? There are rules and regulations."
Meng Zhuang smiled helplessly and said, "It would be great if that was really the case. Even people on a team would get into conflicts, what more two teams? At that time, when there is a conflict, the only reliable thing is not the rules but one's own strength. "
"So?" Xiao Chen roughly understood why Meng Zhuang sought him out.
Meng Zhuang smiled and said, "I found a few people to explore together. Do you want to join us?"
Xiao Chen rejected politely, "Thank you. However, I'm used to being alone."
"In that case, I won't disturb you anymore."
In reality, Xiao Chen had gained a lot from his earlier search.
Xiao Chen possessed the Blue Dragon bloodline. In this underground dragon city, he was more sensitive to auras than the other cultivators.
It was like returning to his own home.
He could always be one step ahead of others and arrive at the location of the treasures.
It was easy to expose some of one's secrets when traveling with others. Some things were also troublesome to explain.
Xiao Chen could only reject Meng Zhuang's kind intentions.
After searching for a quiet place, Xiao Chen closed his eyes and let his aura spread out in all directions.
His aura seemed to merge with the aura spreading out in the ancient dragon city.
His probing in all directions was much more precise and meticulous than the others, including Senior Ma.
Soon, Xiao Chen found a rough location. Then, he opened his eyes and pushed off with his feet. His figure drifted up.
Soon, a courtyard appeared in Xiao Chen's vision.
The courtyard was grand and imposing. It should have been the residence of a large clan of the Dragon Race during the Ancient Era.
After entering, Xiao Chen followed the guidance of an aura and arrived at the back of the courtyard, where a pavilion stood.
Treasure Tower?
Looking at the few incomplete words on the broken signboard, Xiao Chen revealed a look of joy.
The Blue Dragon bloodline must have been divided into several large families during its most glorious period.
Perhaps, this house belonged to one of the great clans.
The Treasure Tower was the foundation of a clan.
When the doors were pushed open, all sorts of treasures, flowers, and plants gave off multicolored lights.
Surging and pure Spiritual Energy spread out together with the strong Dragon Might of the Dragon Race treasures, instantly attracting the attention of many nearby people.
Oh no.
Too much time had passed, and the formation that could protect the pavilion from leaking aura had already lost its effectiveness.
However, Xiao Chen could not care so much. He looked around, searching for the most useful treasures.
"Dragon Blood Dan!"
Xiao Chen soon discovered that the words' Dragon Blood Pill 'were written under a jade bottle.
Breaking the seal, Zhang Xuan picked up the jade slip and took a look. There were four blood-red pills inside, and they emanated a medicinal fragrance. Zhang Xuan took a deep breath.
Xiao Chen immediately felt the blood in his body surge as energy surged out from his bloodline and spread throughout his body.
"So, it's a pill that can awaken the power of one's bloodline. Good stuff!"
Xiao Chen quickly accepted it and continued to observe as fast as he could.
"Dragon Taming Wood, Ice Crystal Jade, Golden Ink Stone … this is the Dragon Bone Wine!"
The sharp-eyed Xiao Chen discovered a bottle of wine, and his eyes lit up.
Although he did not know what it was, as a wine lover, he quickly went over and broke the seal on the Dragon Bone Wine.
If not for the restrictions on everything in this place, Xiao Chen would not have bothered with so many things.
He simply swept through the items and took them away.
There was no time to think too much. After taking away the treasures that were useful to him, Xiao Chen continued to break the seal, taking away the more valuable treasures.
His movements were swift and orderly, showing no signs of panic. "Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
Three figures arrived in a flash. They were the first batch of cultivators who had sensed the aura of the treasures.
However, at this moment, the treasures that were useful to them or the more valuable natural treasures had already been taken away by Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen had already taken all of them. Although the remaining ones were still very valuable, they could not compare to the one in Xiao Chen's hand.
"How can it be like this? The aura of the treasures has decreased by more than half."
"The good things are all gone."
Compared to the surging and pure Spiritual Energy that the three sensed at the start, the aura of the treasures was far from it.
The three could not help but look at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen glanced at the three. They were not from his team, so he walked over expressionlessly.
"You! Stop right there!"
The person in the middle shouted coldly as he held a sword in his hand, wearing blue robes.
Xiao Chen ignored him and continued forward.
The blue-clad man immediately showed rage on his face. He thrust his sword at Xiao Chen.
"Whoosh!"
Xiao Chen drew the Tyrant Saber. Before the blue-clad man could fully unleash his sword light, Xiao Chen knocked him back with his saber.
"Brother Jiang!"
The blue-clad man's companions were greatly startled. They quickly retreated to help the blue-clad man up and check on his injuries.
"Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh! "Just at this moment, Senior Liu and Senior Ma led the elites of their teams over.
They had also sensed the surging and pure Spiritual Energy. However, they were rather far away, so they arrived slightly later.
"What's going on?"
Senior Liu quickly asked when he saw someone on his team injured.
"Senior Liu, he used the Dao Tool in his hand to forcefully chase us away from the Treasure Pavilion and take away the valuable treasures inside. The three of us clearly came here first. "
The blue-clad man looked at Xiao Chen and made a false accusation, placing all the blame on him.
"He even sneak-attacked Brother Jiang, completely ignoring the team's morality."
In any case, no one saw it. The more the two spoke, the more outrageous they became. They described Xiao Chen as a shameless person who did not hesitate to sneak-attack others in order to obtain the valuable treasures.
Senior Ma frowned slightly. "Xiao Chen, what's going on?"
Xiao Chen replied indifferently, "I discovered this place first."
Senior Ma sent a voice projection, "Xiao Chen, who discovered it is not the key. The key is whether it is true that you obtained the valuable treasures. "
Xiao Chen felt slightly stunned. However, he quickly understood what Senior Ma meant. Senior Ma wanted a share of the loot and some benefits.
Old fogey.
Xiao Chen replied coldly, "If Senior Ma thinks it is true, then it is true."
"Senior Ma, there needs to be an explanation for this matter!"
Senior Liu showed a sullen expression as he led his team over to Xiao Chen's group.
Senior Ma felt upset. He had given Xiao Chen a hint, but Xiao Chen did not seem to care.
At this moment, Senior Liu stepped forward to question Xiao Chen. Senior Ma retorted indifferently, "What explanation do you want? You forgot who saved you so quickly? Furthermore, there is no proof. If I did what Xiao Chen said, why would I ask you for an explanation? "
While Senior Ma was unhappy, for the sake of maintaining the harmony of the team, he had to stand up for Xiao Chen at this moment.
His words immediately caused the atmosphere to become a little tense.
Senior Liu knew that his words had no basis and that he could not stand on his own two feet. Furthermore, the other party had saved him earlier.
For a moment, he was in a dilemma, not knowing how to resolve the situation.
Leng Feng tried to mediate, "Since we have come to an agreement, why don't we each take a step back? We don't want the remaining treasures in the Treasure Pavilion."
With a way out, Elder Liu nodded and said, "That's fine too."
After Elder Liu and the others entered the Treasure Pavilion, Elder Ma, Leng Feng, and the others all focused their gazes on Xiao Chen.
The meaning was self-evident. We helped you solve your problem, so you should take out some treasures to thank us.
Xiao Chen pretended not to know, nodded casually, and left.
"This guy really doesn't know how to be tactful."
One of them looked at Xiao Chen's back and said coldly.
Leng Feng shook his head and said, "Forget it. According to the rules, he indeed has no obligation to hand over the treasure."
Senior Ma snorted coldly. Then, he flung his sleeves and left with a sullen expression.
How could Xiao Chen not know what these people were thinking? Not to mention the limited number of treasures he could obtain, if he gave each of them a treasure, his pockets would be empty.
Even if Xiao Chen really swept through the entire Treasure Pavilion, he would not take out a single cent to give to these people.
Firstly, Xiao Chen did not need the help of Senior Ma and the others to deal with the problem.
Secondly, Senior Ma's attitude was simply displeasing.
Back then, Senior Ma scammed Xiao Chen of one million Medial Grade Spirit Jades for the pure-blood dragon bones. Xiao Chen had long seen through Senior Ma's character.
However, he could not do it twice. How could Xiao Chen let Senior Ma scam him again?
