The old man grabbed the piece of paper in his hand incredibly quickly. After that, he started to retreat silently. He actually ignored the other treasures as he prepared to leave.
However, his abnormal movents imdiately attracted everyone else’s attention.
Everyone was looking for treasures and were on high alert for anything unusual. They were afraid that soone would pick sothing valuable up, so they naturally had their focus on everyone else.
Imdiately, there was a flash in the eyes of three others. They surrounded that old man, closing in on him in three directions.
One of them recognized the old man and asked with a cold smile, “Elder Jin Yuan, where are you going?”
Elder Jin Yuan’s expression changed slightly as he smiled, “I just feel like this place harbors a lot of misfortune. I’m worried that I’ll bring trouble onto myself, so I’ve decided to leave.”
Soone else continued, “There are so many treasures here. Even the damaged treasures are all highly sought-after materials. Retreating like that isn’t how your sect does things. Did you pick up a treasure that’s far more valuable than anything else here? Is that why you’re retreating?”
Elder Jin Yuan’s eyes narrowed, “Worriless Cultivator, watch your mouth!”
The cultivator let out a dark laugh as he said coldly, “Then what’s in your hand? Why don’t you show it to us?”
“You!”
Elder Jin Yuan’s expression darkened as he realized the predicant he was in.
The movents there had attracted the attention of everyone else as well. In a flash, countless divine senses were locked onto Elder Jin Yuan. They stared at him suspiciously.
“Blasphemy! Those who will get the treasures are all determined by fate. All of us have our own skills and we’re all picking up treasures in this rubble. How dare you steal from others? Do you have any integrity? Give way right now. Let him leave!”
Suddenly, a voice filled with righteousness was heard. A white-robed young man walked out with a white glow around him. There were even a few disciples behind him. He had a very noble look on his face.
Paired with his words, it was easy to gain goodwill from others.
However…
Elder Jin Yuan had an even more bitter look on his face. The others looked at the white-robed young man with complicated expressions.
The young man did not seem to feel how everyone was looking at him at all. He rely continued, “I’m Bai Piao from the Noble Pavilion. Fellow cultivator, don’t worry. You can leave right now. I’ll guarantee your safety!”
Yet, Elder Jin Yuan rely stood on the spot, not daring to leave at all. He looked at Bai Piao with deep distrust.
Bai Piao from the Noble Pavilion. He was incredibly famous. He was very strong and had made a na for himself with his heroic actions. He established the Noble Pavilion and managed to earn the moniker of the Righteous White Hero.
However…
As Bai Piao did more and more good, many people noticed one rule. To be precise, it was one problem.
Every ti Bai Piao saved soone, nothing good would befall the other party. They would definitely be robbed a second ti, and their lives were sotis forfeited!
All of them were old foxes. They naturally knew what was happening.
Bai Piao definitely saved people on the surface before following them in secret to rob them again. Then, he would get a good reputation and even gain a treasure. It was a good plan.
The Noble Pavilion just sounded good on the surface. It was ant to trick the ignorant.
Only, no one really had any evidence. They were also afraid of Bai Piao’s skills, so no one voiced any accusations.
Bai Piao saw that Elder Jin Yuan was still standing on the spot, and he could not help but say, “Elder Jin Yuan, don’t worry. The people here will probably give so leeway. You can just relax and leave.”
How could he relax?!
That Bai Piao was a monster!
Elder Jin Yuan knew that Bai Piao had his eyes on him and decided not to leave instead.
He fird up his resolve and said, “I’ve suddenly seen the light. It’s far better to share any fortune I’ve received. Hence, I’ve decided to share the treasure I obtained with everyone. Please take a look!”
After that, he tossed the golden paper into the air.
The golden paper opened up mid-air, and the words on it attracted everyone’s attention.
They read it word by word, and soone could not help but read it out loud.
“The gray mist reveals the future. Heaven and earth are overturned. The golden lake reveals itself, cleansing the mist!”
“It’s a way to cleanse the gray mist! There’s a way to cleanse it!”
“The gray mist reveals the future. Sure enough, the gray mist is the future. It can patch up the flaws in Wisdom!”
“Heaven and earth are overturned. The golden lake reveals itself, what does that an? What can cleanse the gray mist?!”
Everyone was incredibly excited at that. They widened their eyes as their minds quickly worked to figure out the aning within. Yet, they could not find an answer no matter how much they thought about it.
Those who were there were all either incredibly strong or ca from a big force. They had naturally looked into the gray mist in detail. They knew that absorbing the gray mist could complete the Wisdom within them and give them a bright future. However, there was an imnse price to pay. They would slowly lose their sense of reasoning and lose themselves.
However, the allure of the gray mist was far too great. If they did not absorb it, they would be forced to watch as everyone else got stronger. It was torture.
They had sohow found a way to cleanse the gray mist in the ruins of the Heaven Plundering Alliance. Anyone would be moved by that.
Suddenly, everyone retreated a few steps as they looked at each other in alarm. They were all afraid that they would be killed to ensure their silence. At the sa ti, they tried to figure out how to kill everyone else.
It was a massive secret. If they managed to keep it to themselves, they would be able to rule over the Origins Realm!
However, everyone quickly realized that no one there was weak. There were a lot of cultivators, so it was not practical to kill everyone off.
After a long silence, Bai Piao smiled and said, “The Noble Pavilion has its reputation. Could everyone please do a favor and share this secret among ourselves but not let it spread?”
What was the Noble Pavilion worth?!
Bai Piao was the person everyone was the most on guard against. They cursed in their hearts, but they had looks of agreent on their faces.
“Bai Piao’s right. These words are a riddle that can shake the world. It’s not sothing that can be handled by just one force.”
“Why don’t we form an alliance to look into this secret?”
“That’s a good idea!”
Imdiately, they worked together to wipe away the remains. They then used their various thods to hurry back to their clans.
The next mont, Bai Piao returned there with the cultivators of five different forces.
Cold words ca from Bai Piao’s mouth. “Those who know the secret are from the Luoxia Gate, Cloud Returning Sect, Tianqing Sect, and the Misty Palace. They’re just second-step Wisdom Elites. There are also six wandering cultivators who aren’t that strong. I’ve already left trackers on them. Let’s kill them all off. The fewer people who know this secret, the better. I trust all of you are thinking this way as well.”
They had already discussed everything in secret. They would kick out anyone who was not powerful enough!
However, everyone had been gathered together earlier, so they had no way of making a move. They had to attack after everything was settled!
Looking at how casually Bai Piao was detailing it, it was obvious that he was already used to these things. He was a repeat offender.
The other five shivered as they upped their guard. However, they did not say anything as they nodded before rushing over to attack!
It was going to be a night filled with death!
