Chapter 4073: Potential Treasury?
Translator: ImmortalEmperorBao
The repeated occurrences in this region didnât go unnoticed by its inhabitants. Thus, it didnât take long before numerous experts appeared by the Tangâs plain.
Some who were familiar with it became startled to see the changes. In the past, this barren plain was abandoned.
Now, they saw fortresses and lofty towers along with runic lines. The fortresses flashed brightly and sent their energy through the lines to reach the towers.
This wondrous project couldnât have been done in a day or two. However, it really appeared overnight.
The land itself was still sad and desolate with withered grass. Nonetheless, a new sign of life could be seen as if it had awakened.
âThis is unprecedented. Where did all of these towers come from?â An old local became startled.
âWhat is the Tang doing?â A disciple from a nearby sect asked.
âThe plain is not theirs anymore. The man is known as the richest in the world, Li Qiye, had bought it.â A well-informed spectator revealed.
Everyone knew the worldâs richest at this point and found this surprising.
âWhat does that guy want to do? Heâs going all out?â Someone wondered about Li Qiyeâs ambitious plan.
âI think there is a treasure coming out.â A member of the crowd informed everyone, whether it be on purpose or otherwise.
âA treasure here?â Others havenât heard of this at first due to the condition of the plain.
âI heard it from Armament Mountain. Donât you know about the history of the Tangâs progenitor? Heâs just like Li Qiye, extremely rich. Hmm, but the most important thing is that heâs the creator of the moneyfall method.â The first cultivator responded.
People exchanged glances and found this reasonable. This progenitor was famous once and had miraculous tales about him. There could be incredible treasures hidden here.
âWe have to go take a look right now!â Initially, most only wanted to observe but now, they have all lost their patience.
After all, who would want to miss a supreme treasure coming out?
Unfortunately, someone stopped them before they could make it in.
âThe plain is personal property. No trespassing is allowed.â This person declared.
âPrincess Ning Zhu!â Most didnât expect this at all but a few knew that she had become Li Qiyeâs maid. Thus, the latter began spreading the message quietly.
âGentlemen, please leave.â She said.
These cultivators came for a treasure and didnât want to give up so easily.
âPrincess, I heard that there is a treasure here, is that true?â Someone tested the water.
âIâve never heard of such a thing.â She denied.
This wasnât enough. Another asked: âArmament Mountain said that the progenitor of the Tang left behind a treasury deep in this landâ¦â
âUntrue.â She interrupted him.
âPrincess, donât be so unreasonable. If thereâs no treasure, then itâs fine for us to take a look?â Another demanded.
âAs Iâve said, this is personal property so no trespassing.â She asserted.
âI disagreed.â The cultivator retorted: âThe plain is still under Armament Mountainâs jurisdiction and they never said anything about not allowing entry. I donât think what youâre doing is proper.â
Money was tempting enough, let alone a potential treasury. Though no one had seen it, the rumors have gotten out of control. They would rather believe it than otherwise.
âOur young noble is not under the jurisdiction of Armament Mountain.â Ning Zhu showed no sign of backing off.
âYour Highness, everyone in this region is under the jurisdiction of Armament Mountain, no exception. Are you trying to rebel?â Someone loudly shouted.
âAnd if I am? I donât mind another enemy.â A calm voice answered instead of Ning Zhu.
âThatâs Li Qiye.â Many followed the direction of the voice and recognized him.
âThe richest in the world.â Others murmured while feeling jealousy.
In their eyes, he was nothing more than someone who got lucky and obtained the Preeminent Legacy. Life wasnât fair at all.
âLi Qiye, watch your words.â A member of Armament Mountain stepped forward: âAre you challenging us? We might not be the strongest but have never been afraid of anyoneâ¦â
âThe same for me.â Li Qiye interrupted this disciple: âWhy should I give Armament Mountain face?â
A few smiled wryly and shook their head. They had seen Li Qiyeâs haughtiness before when he didnât give a damn about Sea Emperor Sword Kingdom. Armament Mountain was no exception.
In fact, he even made the kingdomâs future queen his maid. He definitely didnât mind having another enemy.
âThe plainâs treasury once belonged to the Tang, theyâre no longer here so it is up for grabs. Are you trying to monopolize it?â An expert shouted.
He spoke with absolute confidence as if there was indeed a treasury here.
âNo, the entire plain belongs to me, the same with a random rock or a treasury.â Li Qiye chuckled.
âSee, he wants to monopolize the treasury!â Another crowd member fanned the flames.
âYou already got the Preeminent LEgacy, now you want this treasury too? Your greed knows no bounds, youâre taking up too many resources!â One more joined in.
âYes, yes, Iâve heard all of this before. Scram if you donât have anything else to say, stop bothering me.â Li Qiye said.
âLi Qiye, donât even think about monopolizing it, it belongs to the worthy!â This didnât stop one more from yelling.
âYes, we need to look for it right now!â
Eventually, the crowd became heated and tempted. They teamed up and tried to enter.
