Chapter 2902 - 2903: Great Sun Island, Senluo Valley
Chapter 2902: Chapter 2903: Great Sun Island, Senluo Valley
As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden turbulence in the time-space stream, and then a group of people walked out from it.
Each person in this group was finely dressed, with an extraordinary aura, clearly not ordinary individuals.
Leading them was a man dressed in exquisite clothing.
Upon seeing this man, Jin Shanquan was first taken aback, then said coldly, "It’s actually you!"
"Hehe, yes, it’s me. What? Did the former top-ranking bounty hunter just recognize me now?"
The newcomer was indeed the man who had previously kicked and punched Jin Shanquan on the street outside the Treasure Pavilion.
He was also the man known as Number Twenty-Five at the Hundred Benevolence Store auction.
Seeing him, Jin Shanquan’s face turned very grim.
But Number Twenty-Five was full of enthusiasm, his eyes quickly glancing at the shimmering and uncertain entrance to the treasure, then he laughed proudly,
"Tsk tsk, it wasn’t a waste of my effort. I didn’t expect to gain something. Jin Shanquan, this must be the mysterious treasure that caused your downfall!"
Jin Shanquan’s face turned livid, ignoring the words of Number Twenty-Five, and instead asked, "You followed me?"
Number Twenty-Five shook his head with a smile, "How can you call it stalking? I merely left a piece of information on you while pretending to be acting with you on the street!"
What Number Twenty-Five said was indeed true.
Moreover, all this was part of his premeditated plan.
Let’s first introduce the identity of this Number Twenty-Five.
His name is Tang Sheng’en, the sole heir of Senluo Valley from Great Sun Island.
Great Sun Island is an extraordinary place, a small area that gathers almost thirty percent of the sects in this high-dimensional universe.
And Senluo Valley is one of them, moreover, it’s an extremely powerful presence among them.
As the sole heir of such a top sect, Tang Sheng’en naturally was rich and bold, which is why he could spend money freely at the auction of the Netherworld Ghost Market.
But he is definitely not a brainless rich second generation; on the contrary, he is very smart, and especially skilled at strategizing.
When he heard about Jin Shanquan’s past and current situation from others, he immediately perceived an opportunity.
With his keen intuition, he sensed something unusual about Jin Shanquan’s madness, and the fact that his subordinates also vanished without a trace clearly indicated a major change had occurred.
And the biggest possibility for this change is the last mission that Jin Shanquan executed.
But as said by Han Bao before, the rules of the Treasure Pavilion are very strict. Unless you are the direct recipient of the task, it’s difficult to see the details of the task.
Not to mention a task that had already failed for quite some time.
But this did not pose a problem for Tang Sheng’en, after careful thinking, he decided on a plan. Then he deliberately pretended to be a rich dandy, feigned ignorance of Jin Shanquan, and started a conflict with him.
During the punching and kicking, Tang Sheng’en secretly planted a piece of information in Jin Shanquan’s body using the Secret Technique of Senluo Valley.
This information is invisible and intangible, and crucially it acts directly within a person’s consciousness, making it difficult to detect given the concealment of one’s thoughts and intentions.
Initially, Tang Sheng’en regarded it merely as a casual move, without giving it much thought.
Unexpectedly, shortly after he left, the information started to take effect.
Although he couldn’t hear the conversation between Xue An and Jin Shanquan, when Jin Shanquan disappeared from the Netherworld Ghost Market, Tang Sheng’en immediately sensed something.
That is, Jin Shanquan’s sudden departure must not be simple.
For this reason, he immediately organized personnel, secretly following the location indicated by the piece of information.
When he arrived at the specified location, even Tang Sheng’en was somewhat dumbfounded.
He certainly recognized this place.
Is this not the headquarters of the renowned Palace of Light?
Could it be that Jin Shanquan had gotten involved with the Palace of Light?
With this suspicion, Tang Sheng’en decided to have people stand guard outside the Palace of Light.
Diligence pays off; one night later, a dazzling light suddenly flew out of the Palace of Light at great speed toward the depths of the void.
Tang Sheng’en’s heart was overjoyed, but being cautious by nature, he feared there might be tricks involved, so he deliberately waited half a day at the original spot.
It wasn’t until Xue An and the others had vanished without a trace that he led his men and pursued them.
Throughout the process, he was extremely careful, daring not to make any rash advances for fear of alerting them.
Diligence pays off.
He finally arrived at the turbulent time-space location guided by the vague indications of that piece of information.
Although Tang Sheng’en hadn’t explored any treasures before, he had heard the common knowledge that treasures are generally hidden within time-space turbulence.
Therefore, he was incredibly pleased, immediately ordered his men to prepare, and quietly sneaked into the time-space turbulence.
This is the story of how Tang Sheng’en arrived here.
Jin Shanquan was unaware of this, but experienced as he was, he immediately understood Tang Sheng’en’s tricks, and couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.
"What a cunning plan and clever method! But do you think this alone will make a difference? To be honest with you, I indeed came for this unfinished treasure, but you arrived a step late; this treasure already has a new owner!"
Tang Sheng’en’s face darkened, "You mean that young man who saved you?"
"Who else but him?"
"Hahaha, don’t joke around. What ability could a young man with only little experience have? Jin Shanquan, I won’t make things difficult for you, you just need to tell me the secret of this treasure, and I guarantee your safe departure, how about it?"
Tang Sheng’en didn’t believe Jin Shanquan’s words at all.
Because in his opinion, Jin Shanquan spent so much effort, even pretending to be crazy for years, surely for this treasure.
How could he let an "insignificant" young man reap the rewards at this crucial moment?
Jin Shanquan naturally understood this, but he was also too lazy to explain, and rather enjoyed procrastinating to buy time for Xue An within the treasure.
Therefore, he coldly replied, "Senluo Valley of Great Sun Island is after all a major sect, how could it cultivate such a foolish successor? I’ve already told you the treasure has a new owner, can’t you understand human speech?"
These words instantly ignited the anger within Tang Sheng’en’s heart, "Very well, it seems you truly refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! I will grant you that wish!"
With these words, Tang Sheng’en’s men swarmed forward, surrounding Jin Shanquan and Shu Jingchu.
"Dare to be rude to the young master, kill without mercy!"
With an order, these people charged forward.
This was the moment to see the strength of these disciples from major sects.
Set aside their individual strength, their seamless coordination during advance and retreat is not something an ordinary person can achieve.
