I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1355: Chapter 1355: Able to Steal Divine Demons, Heavens to Pilfer (1/3) Chapter 1355: Chapter 1355: Able to Steal Divine Demons, Heavens to Pilfer (1/3) In the southern part of the Tianji Continent, there lies an endless desert.

This desert occupies a full third of the entire Tianji Continent’s territory.

And because resources within the desert are exceedingly scarce, no major power is willing to lay down roots here.

This has led to countless small forces starting up here, with dragons scattered about, creating a complex and convoluted situation.

As a result, it has become the most complicated place on the Tianji Continent, with the most treacherous of hearts.

Murders, robberies, and lootings almost happen every day; forces clash violently over the slightest resources, with dozens of powers extinguished daily, and countless new ones emerging.

At the same time, due to the uniqueness of the terrain, other powers of law are extremely rare within this desert, only attributes such as fire and wind prevail.

Desolate City.

It is one of the largest cities within this vast desert and is the closest to the emergence point of the secret realm.

Just this Desolate City alone is dominated by over a hundred forces.

Now, the majority of the forces from throughout the Tianji Continent have sent people here, turning the already complex Desolate City even more congested.

Ye Qiubai and the others followed the First Elder to this place.

When they entered the city, they found countless gazes fixed upon them.

Tan Zongzhao explained at their side, “Here, try to avoid conflicts as much as possible, but if a conflict does arise, you must suppress it with thunderous force. We can’t let the locals think we’re easy to bully, or it will lead to endless trouble.”

“After all, to them, we outsiders from the great powers of the desert are like mountains of gold and silver—an abundant moving resource.”

Ye Qiubai and the others nodded in agreement.

The First Elder also led the group to a tavern that they would use as their base.

This tavern is one of the few places controlled by external forces, thus relatively safer.

No sooner had they arrived than a group of more than a dozen people followed suit.

Among them was the Crown Prince of the Nine Dragon Divine Dynasty, Tian Cong Sword Ancestor, whom Ye Qiubai and the others were very familiar with.

And just having entered, as if bringing life to the gloomy tavern, a breathtakingly beautiful woman caught everyone’s undivided attention—Jiu Bailu.

The Crown Prince looked towards Ye Qiubai and the others and immediately stepped forward with a smile, “I knew you’d come.”

Then, glancing around with a puzzled expression in his eyes, he was about to ask something when Jiu Bailu at his side inquired, “Mu Fusheng didn’t come?”

Instantly, the expressions of Ye Qiubai and the others turned strange.

Even Tan Zongzhao’s eyes were filled with surprise.

Mu Fusheng had hooked up with the number one beauty of the Chaos Realm?

This didn’t seem like him!

Ye Qiubai and Shi Sheng also realized what was happening.

It appeared this woman was indeed Jiu Bailu.

One had to admit, Junior Brother Mu’s taste was quite impeccable.

“He didn’t come. He said he was going to seclude himself for cultivation,” Ye Qiubai responded with a smile.

Jiu Bailu chuckled dismissively and then said something cryptic.

“Karma is inescapable.”

After that, she gave Ye Qiubai and the others a slight bow before returning to the Nine Dragon Divine Dynasty’s group.

The Crown Prince nodded at Ye Qiubai and the others as well, saying, “By the way, how about we cooperate when the time comes?”

Given the previous foundation, both sides could be considered well-acquainted.

Ye Qiubai and the others looked towards the First Elder, who responded nonchalantly, “Here, you can cooperate with whomever you want, just remember to bear the consequences yourself.”

Blackie nodded directly and said, “Sure, let’s cooperate then.”

The previous events had shown that the Crown Prince needed their friendship, after all, he valued their talent.

With this relationship in place, there was a possibility for cooperation.

Afterward, both parties took a short rest in the tavern before heading to a room to discuss the matters that needed attention within Desolate City.

The Crown Prince spoke, “Within this desert, although the powers are complex and intertwined, as far as we are concerned, there are only three we need to pay attention to.”

“The Desolate Troop, Sand Sea Sect, and Thief God Sect.”

“Among them, the base camp of the Desolate Troop is right here in Desolate City.”

Tan Zongzhao joined in, “What the Crown Prince said is correct. These three powers are considered lower-tier first-class forces on the entire Tianji Continent, and this is, after all, their territory, with many hands at their disposal.”

“Moreover, in this generation, all three forces have prodigies among them. The strongest known one in terms of realm is from the Desolate Troop, at the Beginner Stage of the Ancestral Realm, although even the general Intermediate Stage of the Ancestral Realm have no way to deal with him in this desert.”

“At the same time, the self-proclaimed Thief Saint from the Thief God Sect is the most mysterious, with an unknown realm and strength.”

Tian Congjianzu nodded indifferently, “The Thief God Sect can steal both godly and demonic treasures, everything under the heavens can be stolen. Although they are considered lower-tier, no one wants to provoke them.”

“They come without a shadow and leave without a trace, with no fixed dwelling. Once provoked, it’s impossible to eradicate them all at once, and instead, it will bring endless trouble.”

Tan Zongzhao nodded helplessly, “Even the Mixed Spirit Academy isn’t very keen on provoking those thieves.”

The Crown Prince also said solemnly, “Neither are we.”

At this moment, Ye Qiubai asked, “Besides the local forces of the desert, what other forces have come from the outside world?”

Tan Zongzhao turned to the Crown Prince with a smile, “You should ask His Highness about that, he probably knows more comprehensively.”

“You’re too humble,” said the Crown Prince. “Indeed, many people have come, but I think there’s only one that you need to pay attention to, and that’s the Xuanwu Divine Dynasty.”

The Xuanwu Divine Dynasty?

Tan Zongzhao asked in confusion, “The Xuanwu Divine Dynasty is indeed rich in foundation, but we haven’t provoked them, why should we be concerned?”

The Crown Prince smiled and said nothing, just looked at Blackie.

Following his gaze, Tan Zongzhao looked over, “What’s up, Brother Black, you provoked them?”

Blackie spread his hands and said, “Strictly speaking, it wasn’t me who provoked them, it was Junior Brother Mu.”

Mu Fusheng?

How could someone as cautious as him actively provoke anyone?

With a smile, Tan Zongzhao immediately waved his hand, “Stop joking.”

Unable to hold back his smile, the Crown Prince said, “Couldn’t help it, after all, who made the royal sister suddenly get so close to Brother Mu? You all know well, the Holy Son of Xuan Ming has always been pursuing the royal sister.”

What?

Is this all because of Jiu Bailu?

With a bitter smile, Tan Zongzhao said, “That does make sense.”

Blackie, however, said indifferently, “No problem, if he comes, leave him to me. Didn’t he owe me a match from the banquet before?”

After saying this, the Crown Prince proposed, “Since we’ve agreed to cooperate, let’s exchange information about the secret realm.” With that, he proceeded to share all the information he knew, without any reservation.

Seeing this, Tan Zongzhao also began to let down his guard a little.

While the group was discussing,

All the forces had already settled in Desolate City.

At the same time, the Desolate Troop directly announced that they would hold a banquet in Desolate City to welcome everyone’s arrival.

But whether it was truly a welcome or an assertion of power was still unknown…
