Long Yan secretly rejoiced, thankful that he wasn't the one checked first, otherwise it would have been a huge problem. No matter where the treasure was hidden, it wouldn't be able to hide from the Integrity Gu.

It was just bad luck for Long Bao, that fat guy, that he stepped on a landmine for him.

Long Yan looked terrified and stepped forward to hand over all the treasures he had obtained in the tomb.

"I didn't have enough room in my Storage Bag, so I'm hiding one in my mouth. Don't mind."

As he spoke, he placed the wet necklace on the table, looking embarrassed.

Everyone stared at him with a very strange look. Who was he trying to fool? Did he think they were all idiots? Where did all these oddballs come from? The Long Family really produces talented people.

Long Lie didn't delve into anything further. He examined the necklace and discovered that it was a top-grade first-tier Supreme-grade Spirit Artifact, but it was still not as valuable as 180 Spirit-Ascending Grass. He shook his head in disappointment.

Soon, the two enforcers who had subdued Long Bao finished searching him and ran over, covering their noses, and placed a bead that he had been hiding in front of everyone.

A strong odor immediately filled the entire venue.

"Vomit!"

A chorus of retching sounds erupted from the crowd.

"What is this? Who pooped it?"

The onlookers covered their noses and backed away, keeping a safe distance from the table. Everyone's expression was extremely strange, as if they had already guessed what was going on.

"Take it down! Take it down now!"

"You put everything on the table! What were you thinking?!"

"Quickly, give him this to eat! What is this taste like?!"

Long Lie was furious, his face dark with rage. He was closest to the table and was the first to be hit; the smell went straight up to his throat. His eyes rolled back, and he felt so nauseous that he almost vomited up the food he had eaten three days ago.

Even the Integrity Gu was so affected by the stench that its eyes rolled back in its head.

The two law enforcement officers immediately took the bead away with a handkerchief and ran far away, only then did the smell dissipate a little.

"Hehe! The Long Family really produces talented people! Where did these oddballs come from? Nobody saw what that was just now, but let's just call it a Supreme-grade Spirit Artifact. I want to see if this last one still gives you any hope of turning the tables. Hurry up!"

Feng Yu glanced at the last one, Long Xuan, a dismissive smile playing on his lips, as if victory was assured. He didn't think this most insignificant person could turn the tide.

At this point, Long Lie had completely given up hope. Holding the Integrity Gu in his palm, he walked up to Long Xuan and asked, "What did you bring out of the tomb? Tell me, it's not your fault if you lose."

Looking at the Integrity Gu that was staring intently at him, Long Xuan answered truthfully, "I only brought out one treasure, the Spirit-Ascending Grass."

Upon hearing this, Long Lie's eyes immediately lit up, filled with disbelief. He glanced down at the Integrity Gu and found that its eyes were not glowing, indicating that Long Xuan was not lying and that he had indeed only brought out the Spirit-Ascending Grass from the tomb.

Long Lie was overjoyed, feeling that there might still be a chance to turn things around and that there might still be hope of winning. His face lit up with anticipation, and he hurriedly asked, "How many Spirit-Ascending Grass did you bring out in total?"

Long Xuan glanced at the Integrity Gu that was staring intently at him, pondered for a moment, and then blurted out, "Many, over a hundred. Count them."

As he spoke, he placed 190 Spirit-Ascending Grass on the table.

At the same time, he added in his mind, "One hundred and ninety plants is more than one hundred plants, and three hundred plants is also more than one hundred plants. Is there anything wrong with that?" There was absolutely nothing wrong with it. Just from the literal meaning of the words, he really wasn't lying.

The reason he dared to play these word games was because Long Lie's IQ seemed to be quite low, and he appeared to be easy to fool.

If anyone else were to inspect him at this moment, he would absolutely not dare to try to be clever. He would simply hand over the full amount due, as his cautious nature would prevent him from taking any risks.

But the Lineage just happened to send such a clever person, giving him an opportunity.

At this moment, the Integrity Gu tilted its head and looked at it. Three hundred was indeed more than one hundred, no problem. This person really wasn't lying.

The Gu Insect was simple-minded and not very intelligent. It had no idea about the intricacies of human relationships, so it didn't react at all to Long Xuan's blunt truth for a long time.

"One hundred and ninety plants! One hundred and ninety plants! It's actually one hundred and ninety plants! Hahaha... I turned the tables! I really did turn the tables! Long Xuan, you did a great job! You're truly my lucky star!"

"Hahaha! I now have 190 Spirit-Ascending Grass! Plus two Supreme-grade Spirit Artifact, making me the most valuable person here! And those seven High-Grade Unusual Gu Insect are mine! You flatter me! Hahaha..."

At this moment, Long Lie had completely gone mad. He was waving his arms and legs, laughing wildly, his mouth almost stretched to the back of his ears. He was extremely pleased with himself.

Conversely, the faces of the others turned completely ugly.

Especially Feng Yu, whose face was terribly gloomy, so gloomy it was almost dripping with water, it was really frightening. He was just in first place, how could he accept being overtaken so suddenly?

He was absolutely certain of victory; the seven High-Grade Unusual Gu Insect were practically within his grasp. But an unexpected turn of events caused the prize to slip away, driving him nearly insane. His gaze toward the Gu cultivator who had produced 190 Spirit-Ascending Grass grew increasingly hostile.

Sensing the unfriendly gaze, Long Xuan felt a chill run down his spine.

Although he thought it unlikely that this person would attack him in public, it had still ruined his plans. He didn't know whether the person was cunning or ruthless, so it would be best to find a way to kill him as soon as possible.

Seeing Long Lie still grinning foolishly, Long Xuan was furious. He Music Path to himself, "What are you waiting for! Quickly take out the Image-Recording Gu!"

"You really think you can leave safely by taking seven High-Grade Unusual Gu Insect? Look at Feng Yu's expression, his face is so ferocious. He's in the Mid-Spirit Sea Stage, while you're Early Spirit Sea Stage. What are the chances that he'll ambush you halfway there?"

Long Xuan's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, instantly calming Long Lie down.

Seeing Feng Yu staring at him with a murderous look, Long Lie fell silent. Given Feng Yu's usually despicable nature, there was a very high possibility that he couldn't accept defeat.

Long Xuan's worries were not unfounded. Long Lie's heart sank, and he finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

He was just a newbie who had recently advanced to the Spiritual Sea Stage, and he hadn't even had time to fully refine his Unusual Gu. Who could he possibly defeat here?

Although he hadn't had time to check what was recorded inside the Image-Recording Gu, he didn't have time to think about it. Heeding advice, he took out the Image-Recording Gu Image-Recording Gu and displayed the images recorded by Long Xuan on the mountain wall.

When Long Lie suddenly took out a Image-Recording Gu, everyone present was stunned and confused. They didn't know what he wanted to do with Image-Recording Gu. Did he want to record the moment he won seven High-Grade Unusual Gu Insect?

Their doubts didn't last long. When the image from the Image-Recording Gu was projected onto the mountain wall, the entire area fell silent instantly, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The content of the image made Feng Yu and the Gu Clan's team of Gu cultivators' hearts skip a beat. Their expressions changed instantly, and they realized something was wrong.

The video showed the moment when the two Gu King clones of the Feng Clan and Gu Clan were massacring Gu cultivators of various races. They laughed wildly as they killed, and their methods were cruel. The Medicine Garden had become a living hell.

The scene where the Miao Clan's number one genius was swallowed whole by the Ghost-Extinction Spider was so gruesome that the Miao Clan's leader of the Gu cultivators was furious and on the verge of madness.

That was the Miao Clan's number one genius, nurtured by the entire Lineage with all their resources. Those two supreme-grade Gu worm alone consumed countless resources from the Lineage.

Miao Dongdong was destined to become the Gu King, the hope for the entire Miao Clan's future. Yet now he has been cruelly murdered by the shameless Feng Clan Ancestor, who bullied the weak. He is furious.

The Gu Clan and Feng Clan dared to openly violate the rules by sending the Gu King's clone in to slaughter Gu cultivators of various races. If it weren't for the Image-Recording Gu as evidence, he wouldn't have believed that the two Gu King would lower themselves to do such a thing.

For an ancestor of a clan to commit such a heinous act as slaughtering younger generations shows a complete lack of shame. Aren't they afraid of being ridiculed by other clans? Have they no sense of decency at all?

At this moment, all the Gu cultivators present, whether they were at the Spirit Gathering Stage or the Spiritual Sea Stage, were looking at the Gu cultivators of the Gu Feng clan with strange eyes, their gazes filled with anger and mockery.

"Heh! No wonder your Feng Clan brought out so many Spirit-Ascending Grass from the tomb. What a cunning scheme! Truly a cunning scheme!"

Miao Clan, leading the Gu cultivators, laughed in fury, his face contorted with rage as he glared at Feng Yu.

"You surnamed Feng! You must give us an explanation! All the clans have already agreed that Gu cultivators above the Marrow Cleansing Stage are prohibited from participating in this tomb raiding. How dare you secretly send your Gu King's clone in? What exactly do you mean by this! Were all your words just empty promises?"

"You, surnamed Gu, your Gu Clan's ancestor shamelessly slaughtered my people. You must give us an explanation. Do you really think our clan is easy to bully?"

At this moment, the crowd instantly descended into chaos, filled with shouts and curses. The two ancient Feng clans had become the target of widespread condemnation, arousing public anger and even leading to pushing and shoving among themselves.

Long Yan watched with great interest, seemingly enjoying the spectacle even more. He excitedly exclaimed, "Damn! These two old ancestors actually dared to defy the world and do something like this! Luckily we left early, otherwise we would have been in big trouble!"

"This is going to be interesting. Do you think they'll start fighting later and cause a chaotic brawl?"

Long Xuan's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression.

He hoped this incident would cause the several Spiritual Sea Stage Gu cultivators to fight each other, so that no one would be free to intercept and kill Long Lie, and he would be completely safe.

But this is only under ideal circumstances. Whether they will actually fight is uncertain. This is a very big deal, and it will most likely be decided by the Lineage's higher-ups. It is unlikely that they would kill someone in private to vent their anger, since the culprit is already dead in his grave.

So he had to add fuel to the fire, a fire that would definitely ignite a fight between them.

Long Xuan glanced around for a moment, then picked up where Long Yan left off, looking at him with a smile and saying, "Is there even a question? A fight is definitely going to break out!"

"Think about it, Feng Yu has 180 Spirit-Ascending Grass, which are coveted by all the races. They had no reason to snatch them before, but now they finally have a legitimate excuse to kill and plunder. How could they let this opportunity pass them by?"

"Anyone who doesn't act now is a fool. If Feng Yu takes back the 180 Spirit-Ascending Grass and the Feng Clan gains 180 more Marrow Cleansing Stage experts, greatly increasing their strength, how can they avenge this? All the clans will just have to suffer in silence and swallow their anger."

Long Xuan appeared to be chatting casually, but his voice was loud enough for all the Gu cultivators present to hear.

Long Yan slowly turned his head, staring at him with wide eyes, as if he were seeing him for the first time.

Holy crap! This kid is really ruthless!

The various tribes were initially quite restrained, but his words were tantamount to driving Feng Yu to her doom!

Miao Clan, leading the group of Gu cultivators, twitched their ears. A thought struck them, "That's right! Those are 180 Spirit-Ascending Grass! Who knows how many Marrow Cleansing Stage Gu cultivators they'll bring to the Lineage? If we don't seize this opportunity, when will we?"

Are we just going to sit and wait for them to take the Spirit-Ascending Grass back? If they gain a large number of new Marrow Cleansing Stage Gu cultivators as a result, it will only harm our own Lineage.

So Miao Clan and her team of Gu cultivators immediately made a decision.

"You surnamed Feng! Your clan violated the rules and killed my clan's number one genius! This is an irreconcilable feud! Today I will kill you to avenge my clan's genius!"

As she spoke, Miao Clan team of Gu cultivators suddenly attacked, releasing all their Gu Insect and relentlessly attacking Feng Yu.

Feng Yu suddenly felt like vomiting blood. Just a moment ago, they said they would report to the ancestor for a personal decision, but now they've suddenly turned their backs. How fickle! Is everything they say just empty words?

But now that the man was charging towards him with murderous intent, he had no choice but to release his Gu Insect to fight back.

The two suddenly started fighting, surprising everyone present.

The Mu Clan leader, a Gu cultivator, revealed a greedy expression. His gaze fell upon the Spirit-Ascending Grass in the Gu Clan clan leader's hand, and he shouted, "You Gu Clan are going too far! Do you really think my Mu Clan has no one left?"

"If I don't seek justice for the Mu Clan today, how can my clan have the face to stand in this place? You'd better give me your life!"

With that, he charged towards the Gu Clan's camp.

The entire audience was taken aback once again.

The two suddenly attacked, which had clearly become the trigger. Experts from various races at the Spiritual Sea Stage joined the battle, and even their subordinates at the Spirit Gathering Stage and Marrow Cleansing Stage started fighting, plunging the scene into chaos in an instant.

Because of a single sentence from someone, a bloody incident occurred, completely disrupting everything here.

The Long Family's faction was completely stunned.

At this point, only the Long Family had not yet joined the battle.

Long Lie's expression was uncertain; he truly didn't know which side to help.

The Lei Clan's Gu cultivators were violating the rules, and fearing repercussions later, they sided with the Gu and Feng clans at this time.

The score was now tied at three to three, with both sides evenly matched and locked in a stalemate, neither able to gain the upper hand in the short term.

At this point, the Long Family's side becomes particularly crucial; it could be said that whichever side the Long Family joins will win.

But Long Lie was feeling guilty, because the Long Family was also part of the rule-breaking group. He didn't know if Long Ziyan's identity had been discovered yet, and what if he had helped the wrong person?

If someone were to discover Long Ziyan's true identity, they would use that as an excuse to steal the Spirit-Ascending Grass from him, along with his seven High-Grade Unusual Gu Insect.

Upon thinking this, Long Lie shuddered and, not daring to get involved in this mess any longer, prepared to leave immediately.

"They've all gone mad! We have to get out of here!"

Long Lie was startled and hurriedly put away the Insect-Rearing Pouch containing seven High-Grade Unusual Gu Insect. He then placed the Dragon Boat on the ground and jumped onto it as fast as he could.

The other Gu cultivators from the Long Family also nimbly jumped onto the Dragon Boat. They had already realized that something was wrong and dared not linger.

After everyone boarded the boat, Dragon Boat rose at top speed and sped off into the distance, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The Long Family, completely disregarding the chaotic battlefield below, shamefully fled first.

Those caught in the chaos felt an urge to vomit blood. They had started the fight, but after everyone else had joined in, they had run away first. Was that something a human being would do?!
