Chapter 190: 190: Treasure Land in the Pond (2)

After Xia Lianyu had left the mountain, those who were informed about the treasure land gathered together. The state summoned the father and son, Long Huangdi and Long Juedi. The Hidden Tan Clan called for their ancestor and clan leaders, Tan Huangyu and Tan Shenyu. The old men from Crimson Cloud Auction Hall and their beloved disciple, Lin Chiyu, were also called over.

But by the time they arrived, Senior Xia Lianyu was no longer around and had gone home. Ling Wen and the elder from the Hidden Tan Clan had explained the situation about what just happened. They collectively looked at the chained Elder Xia Yan not far from them, who seemingly lost consciousness from burning pain.

After learning about the mystical effect of the Phoenix Nirvana Flame, these old men all tried it and were delighted by the result of purification. After all, as an old cultivator, it can be said that the accumulated impurities in their bodies are one of a kind. They, of course, took longer to be purified.

Long Huangdi said, "I don't know if it's to be expected or not that the lad beside the Yatou can control the Phoenix Nirvana Flame."

"Thinking how mysterious that man is, it cannot be considered a surprise. But it seems that Phoenix Nirvana Flame is something disposable for him to leave it here without any worries," Tan Huangyu said.

First Elder Xiao glanced at their disciple, Lin Chiyu, meditating beside the prisoner with Long Juedi.

"Let's leave the young ones to watch over the prisoners. We should check the treasure land before the sun rises, or it would be a bit hard for us to hide from the mortals what is happening on this mountain."

"Are you sure that the flood dragon is not there? It would be considered trespassing if the owner is still there," said Second Elder Yun.

Cultivator Ling Wen said, "Senior Xia said that the flood dragon had left. He definitely came out of the pond. I saw it with my own eyes."

"No, we aren't blaming you. It's just that fighting against a flood dragon would cause a commotion," said Second Elder Yun.

Long Huangdi spoke, "Xiao Ling, stay here with the others and prevent those snoopers around from entering. They must have learned that a treasure land had appeared on this mountain."

"How did they learn about it?" exclaimed Tan Shenyu.

Tan Huangyu looked at Ling Wen and the Elder of his clan and asked, "Did you use the isolation barrier when you talked about the Treasure Land? That old man from Xia Clan wouldn't have forgotten about using this barrier. After he left and you called for us, did you erect a barrier?"

Under these questions, Ling Wen and the Elder turned pale. They realized that their carelessness led to this situation. Seeing how the complexion turning happened on the faces of these two meant that they had indeed forgotten about it.

Ling Wen said, "I apologize. This is our fault. Please go ahead. We will make sure no one will be able to enter until the seniors come out."

"We will also do our best," said the other elders of the Hidden Tan Clan.

Tan Huangyu said, "Then we should leave this to them. By the way, where is Fu Wanyi?"

"Sigh~ he said he wanted to focus on meditation until the day we went to the cultivation realm," said Long Huangdi.

First Elder Xiao said, "That's also good. He just recently got cured. It's better for him to focus on cultivating. We should go. Ling'er, help your seniors. Don't let anyone enter the pond."

Not far from him, Lin Chiyu, who had finished the purification of his body, clasped his hand.

"Yes, First Master," responded Lin Chiyu.

Long Huangdi took the lead and jumped in the pond, followed by Tan Huangyu and then the two elders from the Crimson Cloud Auction Hall. As soon as all the elders disappeared into the pond, a lot of people came out of the woods. Most of them were wearing cultivation robes and obviously came from other cultivating clans and hidden sects. There are even monks with bald heads coming over.

Seeing these large groups of scavengers, Ling Wen frowned. They didn't expect that these people would have gathered like this just for one moment of carelessness.

Tsk!

Ling Wen mumbles, "These people are like hyenas."

"For any cultivators, treasures of heaven and earth are what we all need. That's enough reason for all of us to fight," said Long Juedi, who was the last to finish the purification himself.

The elders of the Hidden Tan Clan said, "Get ready to fight."

The other cultivators were angered by the actions taken by the Hidden Tan Clan, cultivators from the state, and the cultivators under Lin Chiyu's command.

"The Treasure Land is for everyone!"

"You cannot take everything!"

Ling Wen shouted back, "Nonsense! It was us who found it first!"

"So what if you found it first? It's from this realm, and everyone has a part of it!" A foreign cultivator said.

Lin Chiyu said, "Elders, these people cannot be reasoned with. Let's just fight!"

"Indeed. Let's fight!" Long Juedi said.

While the land is full of cultivators fighting, those who had dived down the water finally found the treasure land of the flood dragon. They entered the place without worries and found themselves in a land devoid of water. Farmlands filled with immortal herbs, piles of flood dragon scales, and few weapons.

Long Huangdi and Tan Huangyu, the two Elders of the Crimson Cloud Auction Hall, found the land beautiful. They looked around and found that almost everything was a treasure.

Long Huangdi said, "Not bad. This place is full of treasures."

"We should take everything we can. We cannot waste more time. Those young people above might not be able to defeat everyone," Tan Huangyu said.

First Elder Xiao said, "For now, let's take everything that seems to be important and bring it back. Then shift the guard duties to the young ones and protect them instead. This place doesn't seem to be dangerous."

"At least one elder should remain here to guard the brats!" Second Elder Yun suggested. "I want to fight!"

"Sigh~ very well. I can guard; you guys can go ahead and bring them over. I know you also want to fight," said First Elder Xiao.

The elders took away all important things and high-grade treasures in the place and chose to surface, leaving only Second Elder Yun to remain. Once they got to the surface, they saw the youngsters fighting while being outnumbered; even so, they never let even a single one pass through them.

Long Juedi, Ling Wen, and Lin Chiyu were doing well and even leading with the elders to fight back even when they were losing in numbers.

"They are not doing bad," said Long Huangdi.

Tan Huangyu said, "But they will die if this continues."

"Let's go. Hahaha~ it's been a while since I fought these many people!" Second Elder Yun said as he jumped within the group of enemies while throwing those on their side to the pond.

Seeing how he is doing, Long Huangdi and Tan Huangyu have also done the same thing. They threw all the young people into the pond regardless of whether they were injured or not. Only when only the three of them are left to guard the pond do some of the other cultivators recognize them.

"The Old Ancestor of the Hidden Tan Clan, Tan Huangyu!"

"First State Leader, Long Huangdi!"

"You old monsters are still alive!!!"

Second Elder Yun held his fists and said, "I am also here~"

Some old cultivators among the crowd recognized these three and felt terrified. The reputation of the three was infamous in the cultivation of the Mortal Realm. Those who didn't recognize them all fought regardless of danger.

The battle lasted until dawn. By the time Long Huangdi, Tan Huangyu, and Second Elder Yun finished fighting the group, First Elder Xiao led the youngsters to the surface. All of them carried something on them, and obviously, the treasure land was emptied out. Seeing the three old men drink booze near the bonfire surrounded by piles of fainted enemies, First Elder Xiao didn't know what to say. Everyone can see the corner of his lips twitching.

Second Elder Yun, who was eating roasted fish over the fire, finally noticed them and waved his hand.

"You guys took your time. We've finished the cleanup!"

"Sigh~ how many people should be called to get these people back to their places!" Long Huangdi said.

Tan Huangyu commented, "Can't we just leave these people here?"

"I'm someone from the state!" retorted Long Huangdi.

Second Elder Yun said, "You beat them up more than I do thought~"

"Give up. Let's compensate them with a few treasures and send them away," Tan Huangyu said.

First Elder Xiao said, "How about making sure if there are people who died? How can you beat them all out half dead!?"

The three old men responded, "Adrenaline Rush?"

"Adrenaline Rush, your ass!" shouted First Elder Xiao.

The younger generation has to watch four elders acting like children while looking shocked at all the defeated cultivators on the ground. They can hardly count all the enemies they have defeated and are amazed by how powerful these refined old seniors are. It was only at this moment that these young cultivators realized how powerful their seniors were.

After everything was resolved, the four elders chose to compensate those clans and sects whose disciples were badly injured in the fight. They didn't give them any high-grade treasure, but mid-grade ones can be gifted. Though some sects were unsatisfied with the gifts, they could only accept them. After all, they were indeed in the wrong and weren't even invited to join this treasure hunting and trespassed themselves, even using numbers to pressure people.

The treasure that was taken from the treasure land was split up among the group, and even Fu Wanyi, who wasn't there, was given a part for himself. After Fu Wanyi is their comrade and friend, it is better for your allies to get stronger than your enemies. These old men were about to share some of the treasure with Xia Lianyu, as they had a lot.

Who would have thought that the moment they reached the peak of the mountain where their friend lives, they would be welcomed by a small garden protected by a defensive formation, and in it are rare-grade immortal herbs that are considered sparse even in the cultivation realm?

The lips and expressions on the four elders' faces twitched at such a scene. They even saw XIa Lianyu wearing gardening clothes with his wife, Hialun, tending to these rare immortal herbs.

Tan Huangyu commented, "I told you this old fox has taken the rare ones in the treasure land!"
