Chapter 1429

In the Xing Realm, in a majestic hall!

Gu Chen and Sha Luo Man walked into the hall side by side. Peng Fu followed behind them, his hands and feet shackled.

Gu Chen and Sha Luo Man returned to the Xing Realm after a month on the fastest Shadow Flying Ship of the Shadow Division.

The first thing they did was come to see Dao Lord Xing!

At this time, on both sides of the main hall, many of the higher-ups of the Military, Intelligence, and Works Divisions were present. The high seat which was usually occupied by Daolord Xing was now occupied by Kong Sheng.

"Kong Sheng, where is His Highness?"

Sha Luo Man frowned when she saw this.

She had rushed back from the border without stopping because she had something important to ask His Highness.

"Little Sha, you came at a bad time. His Highness left the Xing Realm ten days ago. Now, I'm in charge of all matters there."

Kong Sheng explained with a smile.

He sat in Dao Lord Xing's usual seat without any awkwardness. This showed that he had a special relationship with Dao Lord Xing.

"His Highness isn't here?" Sha Luo Man frowned even harder when she heard this. Her mood was obviously gloomy.

Gu Chen was also surprised. His eyes flickered.

Before he returned, he had planned to use the incident in the Thunder Prefecture to test Dao Lord Xing. He didn't mind risking his life, but he didn't expect to come up empty handed.

"Where did His Highness go? When will he be back?" Sha Luo Man asked with concern.

"That's hard to say. It'll probably take a long time." Kong Sheng chuckled and gave a perfunctory answer.

Sha Luo Man fell silent and stared at Kong Sheng. No one knew what she was thinking.

"Although His Highness isn't here, there's still me. I've heard about what happened in the Thunder Prefecture. Let me handle it."

Kong Sheng changed the topic with a smile. He looked at Gu Chen and said expectantly, "Little Brother Gu, I heard that you brought back a lot for the Xing Prefecture during the appearance of the Mysterious Land of Chaos. Where are they?"

As soon as he said that, all the higher-ups of the Xing County in the hall looked at Gu Chen curiously.

Apart from Marshal Mie Zui, who was still fighting with Lin Jun, and other high-level officials who were on missions, everyone who was free came here today. They wanted to see how many treasures had appeared in the Secret Land of Chaos in Lei County and how much of a share they had of the treasures.

One had to know that the treasures produced in the Mysterious Chaotic Land were often not available in the outside world, and many of the high-ranking cultivators present yearned for them.

Although it was impossible for these treasures to fall directly into their hands, they would have the opportunity to exchange for them with battle merits in the future, so they naturally came to take a look.

Gu Chen smiled when he saw everyone looking at him expectantly. "It's all here."

He handed over a storage ring and flew towards Kong Sheng.

Kong Sheng casually took it and scanned it with his Divine Sense. Immediately, he clicked his tongue in wonder. "There are so many treasures! Little Brother Gu has stolen a mountain of treasures! "

Such generous praise immediately caused many of the higher-ups to lose their composure, and they spoke one after another. "Fellow Daoist Kong, what treasures do you have? Can we take a look?"

"Of course you can."

Kong Sheng smiled faintly as he brushed his finger across the storage ring. The large amount of treasures inside the storage ring turned into images that were reflected in the air!

Medicinal herbs, materials, chaos spiritual treasures, ores...

The treasures that Gu Chen had brought back included many different types, and the amount was extremely large. In an instant, it was as if a mountain had appeared in front of everyone's eyes!

"That's the Geocentric Orchid that can't be found in the Xing County. Judging from its shape, its age is unimaginable!"

"So many top-grade source stones! With a bit of polishing, they can be used to form the core of a chaos spiritual treasure!"

"Heavens, are there really so many treasures in this secret land?"

Many of the cultivators in the Xing County had good eyesight, and they could recognize many rare treasures in an instant. They exclaimed in admiration, and their eyes even burned with desire.

Initially, Sha Luo Man was the calmest among the crowd. However, when she saw the number of treasures, her eyelids twitched involuntarily.

After returning to the Xing County, Gu Chen's strength had increased greatly. She had thought that he had already digested all the valuable treasures. Who would have thought that there were still so many left!

It seemed like she had made the right decision not to fall out with him a month ago. He had brought back so many treasures. If she had made a big fuss over a few suspicious points, her reputation would have been extremely bad. This was evident from the expressions on the faces of the cultivators present!

Many of the cultivators surrounded the mountain of treasures, praising it profusely. Gu Chen stood to the side, appearing extremely calm.

It was normal for the crowd to have such a reaction. After all, the treasures that he had handed over were almost all that he had obtained after splitting the spoils with Chu Meixin, Fatty Qian, and the others.

During this trip to the secret land, the most valuable Chaotic Golden Lightning Bamboo, the insect king's corpse, the head stone, and the head herb had all fallen into Gu Chen's hands. He was already very satisfied.

Gu Chen knew that if he wanted to report to Xing Daolord without attracting unnecessary suspicion, it would be better for him to hand over as many treasures as he could.

Although there seemed to be a lot of treasures in front of him, they were only one level lower in his harvest. In fact, he had even hidden some of the best treasures among them.

Even so, this kind of harvest was still huge. After all, all the treasures in the secret land, including the things left behind by the big shots of the Longevity Realm and the generals of the Lei County, had all been plundered by the group of butterflies.

Handing over a bunch of treasures that looked priceless but would be very difficult for him to digest. Instead, it would be a waste of time. In exchange for battle merits, Gu Chen felt that it was very worthwhile.

"Little Brother Gu, you have really made a great contribution this time. When the Lord returns, I will definitely report to him and reward you well!"

Kong Sheng was full of praise for Gu Chen, but he did not mention any specific reward.

Even so, many of the cultivators still looked at Gu Chen with envy.

According to the usual practice, Gu Chen would be able to take a certain percentage of the treasures that he had snatched back.

The specific percentage would be decided by Xing Daolord, who had always been generous.

Many of the cultivators started to think. Some of these treasures were exactly what they needed. Perhaps they could get in touch with Gu Chen and see if they could trade with him after this …

Gu Chen did not know that he had suddenly become a hot commodity in the eyes of the cultivators. He was also very indifferent to what Kong Sheng said.

Kong Sheng then punished Peng Fu and ordered his men to send him to the Prison Star to be tortured until Xing Daolord returned.

After that, the rewards and punishments were over. Gu Chen left the main hall, and a large group of cultivators followed him with smiles on their faces.

Everyone here was a crafty person. They had already heard of the prestige that Gu Chen had established in the Lei County. Moreover, they needed his help, so they naturally wanted to have a good relationship with him.
