Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

In fact, apart from finding some crystals at the entrance, Wu Qi and his companions did not find any treasure.

But Chen was certain that this place was full of treasures, and that as long as he could defeat this group, the treasures here would be theirs.

Wu Qi already knew beforehand that there were Soul Douluo-level powerhouses among the exiles.

With the capital city now open to the world, how could such a commotion not attract the attention of Soul Douluos?
Once they provoke such a powerful figure, they are doomed.

Chen's desperate act of holding out was seen by the exiles as nothing more than an attempt to cover up his true intentions.

Wu Qi had already seen through the situation, so he returned to the auction hall and took away the gold and silver treasures scattered on the ground.

Finally, using his flying ability, he scattered gold and silver treasures in various corners of the auction house. Then he left through a window and blended into the crowd of exiles.

Seeing Chen and his group retreating in defeat, the Fallen Ones arrived at the "treasure trove" and he exclaimed, "Look there, everyone! It's full of treasure!"

Amidst the chaotic fighting, his voice was particularly loud.

The exiles stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction he was pointing.

On the ground lay treasures that Wu Qi had scattered beforehand. Sunlight streamed through the windows of the hall, illuminating the gold and making it dazzlingly bright.

With the treasures appearing, the exiles on the attacking side could no longer unite against the common enemy and instead turned to fight amongst themselves, vying for all the treasures within sight.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Wu Qi returned to Chen Nan's squad and led everyone away from the battlefield.

In a room at the top of the auction house, Chen said angrily, "You found a treasure, so why did you scatter it all over the floor, letting others fight over it?"

Hunter, acting as a peacemaker, said, "Captain, in times of emergency, we must act expediently."

The exiles were convinced that they possessed treasure, and Chen had organized them to resist, which seemed like a cover-up.

If Wu Qi hadn't come up with this brilliant strategy, they would likely have perished in the process.

Although Chen was still shaken, he remained dissatisfied with missing out on the treasure.

"We can't just hand it over like that, can we? How can we participate in the treasure hunt if we're hiding here now?"

Wu Qi shrugged and said, "I found a total of two hundred soul tools. But they were all damaged. Only one soul tool could barely be used to retrieve treasures, and these gold and silver are among them."

"However, there is also this dark purple scepter, I don't know what its purpose is."

If the scepter isn't stored in a soul tool, it certainly can't be hidden.

At times like these, failing to express one's stance could easily lead to suspicion from others and cause significant trouble.

Mr. Chen took it and examined it. Seeing that the material was neither gold nor silver, he immediately lost interest.

Hunter glanced at it, then fell into deep thought, and after a long while said, "I've seen something similar."

According to him, he had traveled on the mainland in his early years and had seen a purple scepter on a mountain peak.

However, the area is filled with dark purple lightning, and once struck, even a titled Douluo cannot avoid perishing!
Wu Qi, perhaps guessing something, hurriedly asked, "Brother Hunter, where is the place you're talking about?"

The purple scepter can trigger dark purple lightning strikes, which can even kill titled Douluo. It is very likely the artifact of the God of Destruction!

Wu Qi was already searching for the divine inheritance; if he could find it, he might just achieve great success.

Hunter smiled wryly. "I can see that scepter because it's so enormous. It's clearly different from the one you have."

"But when I went there again later, there was no more lightning strikes."

“When I arrived, local hunters said the scepter had fallen from the sky, and only a few days had passed.”

"I later heard that the scepter only appeared for less than half a month before it disappeared completely."

"And your scepter was found among the soul tools here, so it must be a product from tens of thousands of years ago. There is no connection between the two in terms of time."

“However, I think that if you have the opportunity in the future, you can try taking it to some places. Maybe it will have some effect, and it might even be your lucky break.” Wu Qi was startled.

Hunter's last words were quite meaningful.

This indicates that the other party has already guessed his origins but has chosen not to reveal them.

Wu Qi couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that Hunter was also a trainee from the Spirit Hall who came here before, but couldn't find his way back and was trapped here?
Hunter is a level 69 Soul Emperor, whose strength is comparable to Chen Nan's.

However, the soul power here is scarce. Through his cultivation, Wu Qi has already determined that without the help of cultivation resources, it would be difficult to improve one's soul power level here, even at the Soul Emperor stage, within a year.

Chen, being straightforward, didn't understand their ambiguity and hurriedly asked, "So, you're saying these two things are completely unrelated!"

"Then why are you spouting all this nonsense?"

Hunter gave an awkward smile and explained, "I just thought they looked somewhat similar, so I said a few words out of turn."

"However, we definitely can't compete for the treasures here right now, so why don't we go somewhere else?"

Although Chen was unwilling, he had no choice but to leave dejectedly after hearing that the soul guides had all failed.

Fortunately, the exiles were so captivated by the treasures in the hall that they failed to find their way back.

They returned the way they came and went back underground.

During this time, Qian Gu Chang Kong and Chen Ping provided cover, "blocking" Wu Qi and Hunter behind them, making it easier for Wu Qi to conduct his questioning.

Hunter's answer seemed casual, but it was watertight, and Wu Qi could not get any useful information from him.

Hunter chuckled and said, "You'll find out who I am in the future. But until then, please keep it a secret."

Wu Qi did not refute.

Everyone has secrets; there's no need to expose each other.

In this team, Chen is probably the only "normal person," while the others have other motives to varying degrees.

But Hunter was the one who hid the deepest.

As for why he hid, Wu Qi had no clue. He could only guess that the Hall of Offerings was giving them a back door, allowing a guide familiar with the Lost Lands to lead them to complete the mission.

Whether it is true or not, it is impossible to verify.

The immediate priority is to find the treasure and bring it out when the sand reburies the area.

Since we're already here, we can't leave empty-handed, can we?
……

Normally, there is only one auction house in a city.

Therefore, the group's next goal was to find a smaller pawnshop in the underground city.

At the end of the street corner, the group opened a steel door and entered another underground sewage pipe.

But this time, things are a little different.

Even if the sewage pipes are washed away by sand, traces of use will still remain.

This pipeline is clearly newly built and not yet in use.

At first, the walls were very clean, but as they moved forward, the "dirt" that appeared around them attracted everyone's attention.

How could dirt accumulate intermittently on a pipe that has never been used?

This is clearly illogical. (End of Chapter)
