Chapter 2391: Gifting Daughter And Treasure! (5)

As they stood just outside the door, there was hardly a glimmer to be seen. Yet, upon stepping through the threshold, radiance immediately greeted their eyes. It signified the presence of runes etched within the treasure trove, capable of veiling both the treasures’ essence and their light.

He couldn’t help but glance around at the walls. Sure enough, he spotted numerous runes inscribed upon them, each bearing the mark of concealment. “Councilor Wang Teng is knowledgeable in runes as well?” Hengzang Bo asked curiously.

“A little,” Wang Teng replied.

Hengzang Bo and his companions were somewhat surprised. From Wang Teng’s profile, they knew him as a grandmaster of alchemy. They hadn’t expected him to dabble in runes as well. Was this the world of geniuses? They wondered about his proficiency in runes.

Seeing Wang Teng’s reticence, they refrained from probing further. Knowing his exceptional nature sufficed. The rest was inconsequential.

“All the treasures of our five families are housed here. Councilor Wang Teng, feel free to make your selection. Just inform us once you’ve made your choices,” Hengzang Bo generously gestured towards the treasures within the vault.

“Any three items?” Wang Teng’s eyes gleamed with a hint of excitement.

“That’s right!” Hengzang Mo stroked his white beard and nodded.

Just three items among the myriad treasures of the five major families. It was a trifling matter, insufficient to trouble him. Naturally, he was magnanimous.

“In that case, I won’t hold back,” Wang Teng replied, slightly excited. A cursory glance had revealed the wealth within. He needed to choose carefully. Anything less than the best would not do justice to the five major families’ generosity.

The vault was immense, stretching far beyond sight. Wang Teng ventured deeper, disregarding the treasures at the entrance.

In the blink of an eye, his figure vanished amidst the labyrinth of shelves.

Hengzang Bo and his companions watched his fading silhouette and chuckled. “Councilor Wang Teng, despite his formidable background, is not immune to the allure of treasures.”

“Hehe, these treasures are all collected by our five families over the years. Even universe-stage martial warriors or even eternal-stage martial warriors would be tempted once they step in,” Shouzang Tuo laughed with immense pride.

“That’s true.” The other ancestors of the five major families also smiled, equally pleased with themselves.

Hengzang Chuan and the others gazed upon the treasures before them, their eyes couldn’t help but glaze over. Even they rarely had the opportunity to enter here. Wang Teng truly had luck on his side.

Hengzang Mo, Guizang Yan, and the younger generation of martial warriors had never set foot here before. Now, they were utterly dazzled, consumed by envy and jealousy.

“Elders, is it truly worth it for us to do this?” Hengzang Chuan couldn’t help but ask through voice transmission.

“Do not concern yourself with these petty gains. Councilor Wang Teng is undoubtedly worth our substantial investment. The destruction of the Black Skull Universe Pirates was surely the work of powerful figures behind him. We cannot afford to provoke such individuals, and naturally, we must cultivate good relations. Wang Teng presents an opportunity, and his talent is formidable. The future holds promise for him. As the helmsmen of the five major families, you must broaden your horizons,” Hengzang Bo and the others weren’t as amiable as they usually were in front of Hengzang Chuan and the other family heads. Their expressions were stern as they spoke calmly.

“Yes!” Hengzang Chuan and the others immediately responded with respect.

The younger warriors like Hengzang Mo felt a profound sense of helplessness. The elders truly valued Wang Teng, and their hopes of rising in status seemed dim.

“I wonder what kind of treasures he will choose? I am quite curious about his discerning eye,” Yizang Zhao mused.
