Two great powers press in, leaving Gu Buqun seething!

One month later.

The residence of the Nethersea Hall.

Li Chen, having returned with all his might, entered the conference room.

At this moment, he was covered in wounds, and his Spiritual Qi was nearly exhausted.

Looking anxiously at Hai Lan'er sitting on the black throne, he said:

"Deputy Hall Master! The Yangyue Ancient Clan seems to have found the location of a great treasure..."

Li Chen recounted everything he had sensed about the battle fluctuations a month ago, along with his own speculations!

This immediately turned Hai Lan'er's suspicions about the exact location of the Yangyue Ancient Clan's treasure into certainty!

Hai Lan'er slowly opened her eyes, her gaze slightly cold, and slowly spoke:

"After Gu Buqun returned injured, he immediately sealed off the camp."

Now, battle fluctuations resembling those of cultivators at the Nascent Soul Peak or higher have appeared in the middle area...

Her fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the throne. "It seems they have indeed found the true entrance!"

Upon hearing this, an elder from the Nethersea Hall stepped forward and said in a deep voice:

"Deputy Hall Master, we can't wait any longer."

Hai Lan'er nodded, then stood up.

"Gather your forces and head to the Yangyue Ancient Clan's encampment."

"If Gu Buqun is willing to confess, we have suffered heavy casualties in our search for this treasure; we cannot return empty-handed!"

"If he is unwilling..."

A hint of coldness flashed in Hai Lan'er's eyes.

"Then let the Yangyue Ancient Clan know the price they pay for hoarding fortuitous opportunity!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several powerful auras rushed out from the Nethersea Hall's base and headed towards the Yangyue Ancient Clan!

Such a commotion was immediately detected by the secret sentries of the Heavenly Water Sacred Sect.

The residence of the Heavenly Water Sacred Sect.

After learning the news, Great Elder Shui Yunlan said coldly:

"Since the Nethersea Hall dared to send people to interrogate the Yangyue Ancient Clan, it means they have obtained some definite information!"

"Let's go too!"

"We cannot allow the Yangyue Ancient Clan and the Nethersea Hall to gain the upper hand!"

Whoosh whoosh!

Several auras surged out from the encampment.

Meanwhile, outside the Yangyue Ancient Clan's settlement.

"Boom!"

A deafening sound suddenly rang out.

The people of the Nethersea Hall floated in mid-air, with black banners covering the sky and surrounding the entire camp.

Hai Lan'er stood at the very front, her voice as cold as ice, echoing throughout the surroundings.

"Gu Buqun, come out and answer!"

If you want to monopolize this treasure fortuitous opportunity, first ask if the Nethersea Hall will allow it!

The reason for doing this was naturally to attract the attention of the Heavenly Water Sacred Sect.

After all, the Yangyue Ancient Clan is slightly stronger than the Nethersea Hall, and because they are of the same bloodline, they will inevitably unite as one and face external threats together.

Forcing them to reveal the location of the treasure will be quite difficult relying solely on the Nethersea Hall.

The Heavenly Water Sacred Sect must be included!

Sensing the commotion, Gu Buqun, who had been in seclusion healing his injuries, instantly opened his eyes wide!

"Hai Lan'er?"

"What's this crazy woman doing here! Has she discovered something?"

That's not right! During this period, none of the people in my Yangyue Ancient Clan who knew the situation had left their post!

He forcefully suppressed his injuries and walked out of the main tent.

He flew into the void and whispered:

"Friend Hai Dao!

In the dead of night, you've brought so many people to block the entrance to my Yangyue Ancient Clan's formation. Isn't that inappropriate?

Is this an act of declaring war on my Yangyue Ancient Clan?!

Hai Lan'er snorted coldly and said:

"Gu Buqun, an honest man, does not speak in riddles."

You've found the location of the treasure, haven't you? Tell us now.

Trying to hoard this treasure for yourself? Aren't you afraid of overeating?

If you don't tell me today, then war will break out!

Upon hearing this, Gu Buqun's heart sank!

As expected, they figured it out!

But...

Why?

Only five people within the ancient clan knew the news, and they had been in seclusion at their base for the past two months, not venturing out at all!

How could it possibly be discovered!

Are they trying to trick me?

Looking at Hai Lan'er, he denied, "What are you talking about?"

If my ancient clan had known, they would have secretly sent a message to our Ancestor that the treasure had been taken away. How could you have known?

"Gu Buqun! Stop pretending to be confused!"

Li Chen stood behind Hai Lan'er and angrily cursed:

"A month ago, a battle broke out in the inner circle of Dao Origin Abyss. I could sense the intense Spiritual Qi even from thousands of miles away!"

The aftershocks of the battle must still be lingering!

Besides your Yangyue Ancient Clan, who else could cultivate such a domineering Cultivation Method and possess such formidable cultivation?!

Upon hearing this, Gu Buqun's face immediately darkened.

He is absolutely certain that he is not a member of the Yangyue Ancient Clan!

Not good!

An outsider has broken in!

However, this is clearly not the time to admit it, otherwise a bloody battle would surely break out with the Nethersea Hall and the Heavenly Water Sacred Sect!

He said in a deep voice, "I'll say it again!"

"Our Yangyue Ancient Clan has not sent anyone to Dao Origin Abyss during this period!"

"Have you all gone mad?"

Hai Lan'er frowned slightly. "You said no?"

"No!"

Gu Buqun angrily said:

"I returned from serious injury a few days ago and have been recuperating at the camp."

The clan elders and disciples are all here. Who has the ability to bypass the Formation and sneak into the Forbidden Land?

"But how do you explain the aftershocks of the battle?" Li Chen questioned.

Gu Buqun sneered, "The Sunken Tide Ancient Continent is so vast, how can you be so sure that the one causing the commotion was from my Yangyue Ancient Clan?"

Don't forget, there are indeed Rogue Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Peak Early-stage Spirit Transformation stage!

Upon hearing this, the faces of everyone in the Nethersea Hall immediately turned grim.

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, people from the Heavenly Water Sacred Sect arrived at the scene.

Shui Yunlan led several Nascent Soul Cultivator into the air.

He smiled faintly:

Why are you all so angry?

Fellow Daoist Gu, if the Yangyue Ancient Clan has truly discovered the location of a great treasure, it might not be wise to monopolize the fortuitous opportunity.

Gu Buqun turned to look at him, his anger turning into a mocking laugh, "Even you're joining in the fun?"

"I already said, the Yangyue Ancient Clan didn't discover any great treasures, nor did they send anyone into the Dao Origin Abyss!"

Shui Yunlan shook her head!

"Fellow Daoist Gu, your actions during this period have been problematic."

Now that the aftershocks of the battle have been sensed by fellow Daoists from the Nethersea Hall, how can we trust you?

Believe it or not, it's up to you!

Gu Buqun could no longer contain his anger. "I've been lying in my tent recovering from my injuries these past few days, I haven't even gone out!"

By what right do you pin everything on my Yangyue Ancient Clan?!

He was furious!

He thought of all the enemies of the Yangyue Ancient Clan in his mind!

He vowed to tear the cultivator who framed the ancient clan to pieces!

An elder of the Yangyue Ancient Clan angrily said:

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

"This is outrageous!" Hai Lan'er's eyes were icy. "The fortuitous opportunity within the Dao Origin Abyss have always been reserved for the capable."

If you really haven't found any treasure, why are you so nervous?

After hearing Shui Yunlan's words, she was now certain that there was something wrong with the ancient clan!

Gu Buqun was so angry that his chest injury flared up, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"I'm nervous because you've repeatedly come to provoke me!"

He raised his hand and pointed at the people in the Nethersea Hall.

"Hai Lan'er, you'd better take your people and get out of here right now."

Otherwise, even if I am severely injured today, I will make you pay the price!

Hai Lan'er unleashed her aura, "I've long wanted to experience Fellow Daoist Gu's superior skills!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Buqun was so angry he laughed instead!

"Hahaha!

You all act so mysterious and unfathomable all the time, but when a fortuitous opportunity arises, you pounce on it like mad dogs smelling blood!

"Especially your Nethersea Hall, hiding in the Black Mist all day long, afraid to show yourselves, how dare you question my Yangyue Ancient Clan here?!"

Hai Lan'er's face turned completely cold.

"Gu Buqun, you're asking for death."

"Come at me if you want!"

Flames erupted around Gu Buqun, and despite his severe injuries, he still unleashed the terrifying pressure of Nascent Soul Peak!

Shui Yunlan chuckled, "Count me in!"

For a time, the atmosphere among the three forces was extremely tense!

More than a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators watched from a distance, each one deeply shaken.

"It seems a truly great treasure has indeed been discovered."

"Otherwise, the three Spirit Transformation cultivators wouldn't have broken off relations like this."

"The Yangyue Ancient Clan is probably in trouble this time."

Among the Heavenly Water Sacred Sect's group, a white-haired elder's eyes gleamed.

Gu Buqun's reaction was so real.

If the Nethersea Hall had truly caught them red-handed, they would never have acted with such anger and confusion.

Could it be... that there's a fourth force within the Dao Origin Abyss that has already found the entrance before them?

Thinking of this, the white-haired elder's heart sank slightly, and he quickly looked at Hai Lan'er and Shui Yunlan, saying:

"Lord of the Sea Palace, Great Elder, why should we waste our time here with the Yangyue Ancient Clan?"

Why don't we just go and investigate the aftershocks of the battle that Li Chen sensed?

If this Cultivation Method was used by someone from the Yangyue Ancient Clan, can Fellow Daoist still deny it?

If not, it proves that another force or individual has found the location of the treasure before us.

If the ancient people also knew this, I think they would be even more anxious than we are.

"At that time, wouldn't it be enough to just follow the ancient people?"

Upon hearing this, Hai Lan'er and Shui Yunlan's eyes lit up!

"Great idea!"

Then he looked at Gu Buqun and said, "Fellow Daoist Gu, would you like to come with us?"

If you're not going, then there's nothing more to say; let's fight!

Gu Buqun looked at Hai Lan'er and Shui Yunlan's determined expressions.

I knew I couldn't avoid this hurdle!

"Okay! I'll go!"

Gu Buqun gritted his teeth, cursing Zhang Xuanchen's ancestors for eight generations in his heart!

Now, all we can do is reveal the location of the treasure.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Zhang Xuanchen, who was traveling at breakneck speed, sneezed twice.

He rubbed his nose and asked in confusion:

"Huh? What's going on?"

Is my son talking badly about me again?
