Chapter 122 Is This Village Owner Really That Powerful?
Chapter 122: Is this estate owner really that powerful?
"Master, are all these people here to explore for treasures?" Lin Fan asked, although he already had a guess in his heart.
At first, Beitu was quite annoyed, but then he sighed helplessly and nodded, "Yes, that guy is too dishonest. He not only sold the treasure map to me, but also sold it to the major forces who came looking for information."
"That person is really talented," Lin Fan remarked upon learning the situation, feeling impressed by the other party's decision.
Since I can't bear the pressure anymore, I might as well not bear it and directly sell this thing on a large scale. Even if I can't get the treasure, the profits from these sales are enough for me to make a big profit. Even if I can't monopolize the treasure, at least I won't have worked for nothing.
"He is indeed a cunning person, but he has also planted the seeds of disaster," Beitu said with a slightly cold gaze. Although he had a kind appearance, who among those who had reached this point would be a good person?
The person who possessed the treasure map had played him, so things naturally couldn't end like this.
"Should we continue exploring for treasures?" Lin Fan naturally understood this point, but it had nothing to do with him. On the contrary, with so many major forces here, it was uncertain whether they could continue.
Beitu hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, but soon nodded firmly, "Since we're already here, I naturally won't give up. I just don't know what Lin Zhaozhu's thoughts are now."
In the end, he looked at Lin Fan and asked what Lin Fan's thoughts were now.
Lin Fan had long been prepared, and the number of people didn't matter much to him. He didn't need much from this trip, just a copy of the martial arts secret technique. As for the rest, he wouldn't compete with others. Of course, if someone caused trouble for him and didn't want to give him even this little thing, he wouldn't mind burying the person underground forever.
"I don't have any thoughts. Since I agreed to the invitation of the estate owner and came here, I naturally don't plan to make this trip for nothing," Lin Fan said with a smile.
Seeing that Lin Fan didn't back down, Beitu also breathed a sigh of relief. The gloom on his face dissipated a bit, revealing a smile.
With so many major forces competing, Lin Fan, who was skilled in mechanism arts, could be said to be his greatest reliance. This treasure of the former dynasty was not just a small tomb with a single passage. According to the introduction on the treasure map, this underground treasure was like an underground city. It was excavated at great cost during the peak of the former dynasty, in order to prevent decline and prepare for a comeback in the future. Having a master of mechanism arts accompanying them would definitely give them an advantage.
Lin Fan didn't retreat because of this. Beitu, whose mood had improved a bit, began to introduce the helpers he had brought this time.
Among them were two middle-aged men who were the backbone of the Tan family. Each of them had reached a level beyond first-class strength.
The other two were young people, obviously brought along to broaden their horizons.
One of them was the young man who had come to their door last time, known as Xiaofeng.
The other was a young girl, a genius from the Tan family named Tan Jingjing.
It had to be said that this girl, just like her name, was gentle and quiet. Apart from glancing at Lin Fan when she was introduced, and nodding politely to Jian Ling next to her, she didn't make any other movements.
"When should we start going down?" After the two teams briefly familiarized themselves, Lin Fan asked.
Beitu replied, "Since all the major forces have arrived, it's obvious that no one side can monopolize it. We need to discuss when to go down and explore. Otherwise, it will attract the hostility of the major forces."
Lin Fan nodded slightly upon hearing this. Even the word "hostility" was subtle. If any side dared to secretly monopolize the treasure at this time, it would definitely provoke the siege of the major forces. Even if they could withstand it, they wouldn't be able to continue exploring.
"In that case, I'll leave this matter to the estate owner. My wife and I will wait for your notification in the inn," Lin Fan said after thinking for a moment, not intending to show his face.
Beitu had no objections to this either. He nodded and said, "Alright, when the decision is made, I'll arrange for someone to notify you."
"Okay, thank you," Lin Fan said again before leaving with Jian Ling to find an inn to stay in.
After Lin Fan left, one of the middle-aged men spoke up, "Master, was that young man just now the estate owner who made the Thirteen Great Thieves and countless martial arts experts retreat?"
"Yes," Beitu nodded indifferently, showing more authority in front of his juniors.
"Wow, he looks so young. Is he really as amazing as you said, sir?"
The middle-aged man recalled Lin Fan's youthful appearance and found it hard to believe.
"Hmph! Such short-sightedness. If being old meant being powerful, the commander of the Zhenwu Division would have had his head cut off long ago by the martial arts experts who hate him. How could he still be alive and make countless experts tremble in fear?"
Upon hearing the words of the younger generation, Beilei snorted coldly and gave them a lesson.
The middle-aged man who spoke earlier immediately narrowed his pupils when he heard the mention of the Zhenwu Division's commander, and he became more obedient.
It was as if this person had some kind of demonic charm that made it impossible for people to remain calm.
"Alright, this Lin Master is not that simple. Even I can vaguely sense a sense of danger from him. When you interact with him in the future, remember to be polite."
Beilei stopped teasing and quickly returned to calmness, warning them in a admonishing tone.
"Even you can sense the danger?"
This time, it wasn't just the middle-aged man who spoke, but everyone present, except for the young man who had heard this before, couldn't remain calm.
"Grandfather, is that person really as strong as you say? You know, he looks even younger than the commander of the Zhenwu Division."
The young girl named Tan Jingjing couldn't help but ask curiously.
Beilei had a stern face when facing the middle-aged man earlier, but he showed a gentle expression when faced with the girl's question.
He nodded indulgently and replied, "Although I don't know his specific background, this young master is definitely not as gentle as he appears. Thirteen great thieves and many martial arts experts have fallen at his hands for a reason."
Tan Jingjing didn't say anything, she just looked in the direction Lin Fan had left, her curiosity growing stronger in her eyes.
The young man next to her, Xiao Feng, became a little anxious when he saw this scene.
This wasn't a good sign!
But before he could say anything, Beilei told them to go back and rest.
Now that the major forces had gathered here, Beilei naturally had to attend the meeting as a representative and fight for his own side's interests.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these three days, the experts from various factions had intense debates and several bloody battles broke out.
Hot-blooded heroes of the martial world usually solved problems with their strength.
This situation could be said to have delighted the Zhenwu Division, who had just arrived.
Without any hesitation, they began to arrest people and eliminate potential opponents while maintaining order.
Without an excuse, they wouldn't act, but with an excuse, the Zhenwu Division was not afraid of any major forces in the martial world. They dared to arrest anyone and deal with anyone.
After all, they had the imperial authority.
No matter how powerful the major factions of the martial world were, they had to be obedient in front of the court.
Only the deeply rooted Four Supreme Powers had some say and made the Zhenwu Division not dare to act recklessly.
In this situation, the major factions that were originally at odds could only suppress their anger and reach a consensus.
That is, all the martial factions present could enter the secret treasure, and whether they could obtain the treasures inside depended on their own abilities.
It seemed that whether they negotiated or not, it was the same. In reality, negotiating or not negotiating was the same.
After waiting for three days, Lin Fan couldn't help but mutter when he learned of this decision.
It was really a waste of three days.
"When exactly will we enter?"
Lin Fan asked, there was nothing else to say at this point, he just wanted to finish quickly and go back to sleep with his wife.
"We will enter early tomorrow morning, and all the factions present will rely on their own abilities."
Beilei answered, and there was a hint of seriousness in his tone. This time's matter was even more chaotic than he had imagined.
He even had a premonition that this treasure hunt would definitely not be peaceful and that even more terrifying events would occur.
Lin Fan didn't know what the other party was thinking, but even if he did, he wouldn't care.
For this treasure hunt, he had used several Max Level abilities and made preparations in all aspects.
Even if there were major unexpected events, it wouldn't pose a threat to him, not even if the underground treasure collapsed.
While the major forces were preparing to reach an agreement, a group of masked people quietly gathered in a hidden corner of the city.
"Is everyone ready?"
"We're all ready. As long as they enter, everyone present will have no chance of returning!"
"Very well, but your previous failure has already displeased the person above. If you mess up again this time, I believe you know what the consequences will be, right?"
"Don't worry, there won't be any accidents!"
