Chapter 1167 - Shock the Whole World!

“Faction Leader Lin, where is the exact location of the secret land?”

Amidst a lively discussion, one of them asked.

“That’s right. Since you’ve already admitted it, you should at least give us the details of the exact position, right?”

“Zangjiang is not big, but telling us the exact location will make it easier for us to find it.”

“Please, we’re waiting for you. Since Faction Leader Lin has already been so upfront, you would surely not withhold any other information, right?”

Everyone plied him with questions, eager to get an answer.

“I can tell you that the secret land does exist, but I won’t tell you the exact location now.”

Lin Qingyi shook his head and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to disclose the location, but since you all know of its existence, I’d like to give all Wulin people a fair chance. I’ll reveal the actual location three days later!”

Hearing this, all the others looked at Lin Qingyi in confusion.

They didn’t understand what Lin Qingyi had up his sleeve.

“Faction Leader Lin, what do you mean?”

One of them couldn’t help asking.

“It’s simple.”

Lin Qingyi gazed fearlessly at all the people present and said, “I mean, since I’ve disclosed the fact that the secret land in Zangjiang is real to the public, I will give everyone a fair chance. I know everyone is eager to look for the secret land in Zangjiang, so I will give you three days to prepare. Then I will set off to the secret place in Zangjiang with all those who want to have a try!”

“I agree.”

Diwu Mingchuan, who had been silent, heard his decision and spoke up, “Faction Leader Lin discovered the secret land in Zangjiang, so it’s only right for him to take us there. Besides, if we go together, we can avoid any conflicts and ensure Wulin is in good order.”

All the others nodded with approval.

Sure enough!

Everyone at the scene knew very well what the consequences would be.

Once Lin Qingyi divulged the location of the secret place in Zangjiang, everyone would swarm toward it. Some people might hide in the dark, waiting for the right time to launch a sneak attack.

In that case, the various Wulin forces were likely to rush headlong into different disputes, which would cause the entire Wulin to erupt into total chaos.

Therefore…

Lin Qingyi’s arrangement was indeed sensible.

At least, when they headed for the secret land together, those harboring unkind intentions would be visible to everyone.

“That’s settled then.”

Patriarch Qian said, “Let’s set out together in three days!”

“How about we invite John Doe to come with us?”

At this moment, one of them suddenly stood up and suggested, “According to what Faction Leader Lin said, it will be a great challenge to break the formation. After all, there is no expert in Wulin who is particularly familiar with the formation. Before we come into contact with the great ancient formation, the only person who might be able to open it is John Doe.”

“That’s right. What if we can’t open it in the secret land three days later?”

“If John Doe is with us, our chances of opening it will be greater.”

“I agree.”

“It’s indeed necessary.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

From the looks of it…

Except for Lin Qingyi, only John Doe in Wulin had some connection with the secret land of Zangjiang.

“Okay.”

Upon hearing everyone’s proposal, Lin Qingyi immediately nodded and said, “I will personally invite John Doe.”

Everyone nodded with satisfaction.

Then the people from all the other forces took their leave.

After everyone else left, Lin Qingyi didn’t remain idle and immediately called John Doe.

Lin Qingyi got his phone number in the previous wine gathering to order more Heaven Dew.

The call was soon connected.

“Hello?”

Fang Qiu answered the phone.

“John Doe?”

Lin Qingyi introduced himself. “This is Lin Qingyi.”

“Faction Leader Lin, what’s the matter?” Fang Qiu asked.

“Well,” Lin Qingyi replied, “You must have heard about the secret land in Zangjiang, right?”

“Mmm,” Fang Qiu’s replied noncommittally.

“In that case, what Ma Chunyu said should be true. Do you really have a formation?”

“Yes.”

Fang Qiu did not try to hide the truth and directly answered him.

“Good.”

Lin Qingyi couldn’t help praising John Doe for giving such a candid reply. Then he said, “Now I’ve already told the other forces that the secret land in Zangjiang does exist, but I didn’t tell them its location. Instead, I made an appointment with them to go there together in three days because in that way, everyone will get a fair chance.”

“But you didn’t come to my abode in the mountain with them. So, I guess you don’t have much interest in the secret land. Nevertheless, we’ll go to Zangjiang and try to open the secret land in three days, and I’d like to formally invite you to go with us!”

Fang Qiu was stunned.

It had occurred to him that the others would locate the secret land sooner or later, but he had never thought Lin Qingyi would take the initiative to admit its existence so quickly.

He must have been under tremendous pressure when the major forces called the Peace Faction together.

“What do you think?” Lin Qingyi asked.

“Fine.”

Fang Qiu readily nodded and said, “See you in three days.”

After that, he hung up the phone.

Right after that, Fang Qiu called He Gaoming.

“Hello, Master?”

He Gaoming seemed to be panting as he answered the phone. It seemed that he was cultivating.

“Take the brothers to hide somewhere for a while to avoid trouble.”

Fang Qiu said, “Three days later, all Wulin forces will follow Lin Qingyi to the secret land in Zangjiang. I will also be there. At that time, some forces or experts who harbor evil designs would very likely attack you for your Combined Attack Sword Formation. Since our brothers are not strong enough yet, we’d better not fight with those forces.”

“Understood.”

He Gaoming immediately nodded and asked, “In that way, what about our liquor?”

“Take them away!”

Fang Qiu thought for a moment and said, “There are still three days left. That is enough time for you to transfer the bulk. Get ready first. I’ll give you an address when the time comes.”

“Okay.”

He Gaoming replied and hung up the phone.

Fang Qiu felt slightly relieved.

He did not think about striving for the ancient relic, mainly because of those brothers.

Such a great discovery about the secret land happened in Wulin.

Lots of eyes were riveted on them.

What was more…

They held the Heaven Dew recipe!

The immense amount of treasure would certainly brew malice. As long as John Doe did not make his way to the ancient ruin, those waiting for an opportune moment in the dark would not dare to take action. Even if they did, Fang Qiu could protect his brothers.

But things were different now.

This was a demand from the higher-ups that he couldn’t refuse.

So, he had no choice but to go to the ancient ruin.

Without his protection, He Gaoming and others would be in even greater danger.

Therefore…

Fang Qiu could only instruct them to find a safe place to hide.

But where would they be able to get safe shelter?

Since Fang Qiu was on a mission for the higher-ups, they were obliged to protect his men.

Fang Qiu didn’t waste any more time thinking about this.

He contacted Li Ji directly.

“Hello?”

Li Ji answered the phone.

“Lin Qingyi, the leader of the Peace Faction, invited me to go to the secret land in Zangjiang with all the Wulin forces in three days.”

Fang Qiu continued, “But I won’t take my brothers with me. It’s too dangerous for them to follow me there. The other forces might take each of them as the key factor to the formation and attack them. They might also encounter danger if they stay where they are. Thus, I can only trust you to keep them safe.”

“What do you want me to do?”

Li Ji asked.

“Offer them an absolutely safe place.”

Fang Qiu paused and added, “It’s best to let them stay in a restricted military area!”

It had to be a restricted military zone.

Such a special area could keep ordinary people out, and those Wulin people wouldn’t get close to it to avoid unexpected trouble.

Therefore, the closed military zone was perfectly safe!

“No problem.”

Almost immediately, Li Ji nodded and said, “I can arrange a secure hiding place for them. When they are ready to move, I will send the location to you. You can tell them to go there directly.”

“Nice.”

Fang Qiu nodded with satisfaction and disconnected the call.

More than 30 brothers in his force had been painstakingly trained by him. He did not want his efforts to be nipped in the bud because of such a dispute.

The peace in Wulin had just ended.

The appearance of the ancient ruin, plus the fact that the Nirvana Organization was eyeing them covetously in secret, would gradually make Wulin fall into the turmoil of war.

Since Fang Qiu wanted to establish a force that could compete with the Nirvana Organization, he had to lay a solid foundation for his force!

Fang Qiu then hung up.

He didn’t even have time to put his phone into his trouser pocket.

“Beep! Beep! Beep!”

All of a sudden, his cell phone rang again.

He took a closer look at it.

It was a call from Li Ji.

“Is there something wrong?”

Fang Qiu answered the phone.

“Bad news.”

Li Ji’s solemn voice came through as soon as he picked up the phone. “On the underground force forum, someone revealed the news that an ancient ruin in Huaxia had been discovered. It created a sensation throughout the forum.”

“What?”

Fang Qiu was startled.

“Go and have a look. I’ll report it to my superiors right away. We should act according to their instructions.”

After saying that, Li Ji quickly ended the call.

Fang Qiu quickly sat at his desk and immediately logged onto the underground force forum with his computer.

Just as he entered the forum, he noticed the current trending topic was an anonymous post that had revealed this breaking news.

“Sure enough.”

Seeing this post, Fang Qiu frowned, and his face became extremely grave.

The first thing that crossed his mind was that it could be the Nirvana Organization!

Right now, he could not think of anyone else who would do this except for the Nirvana Organization!

One thing to take note of was that not everyone could enter the Wulin online forum at will. Besides, all the Wulin forces were busy with their preparations, so they had no time to reveal the news.

Most importantly, for the Wulin forces, it was not good to spread the news.

Only the Nirvana Organization could benefit from it!

Fang Qiu clicked on the title to see the post content.

He read it carefully and thoroughly and then glanced at the messages left by people from all over the world below the post. He found that there were ancient ruins discovered in foreign countries too.

In addition, some foreign forces managed to advance with seven-league strides because of these ancient ruins.

At this moment, Fang Qiu realized how grim the situation was.

It would be fine if no foreign force knew about the ancient ruin. But now that those foreign forces had news of it, they would upset the apple cart by all means.

In this case, getting ahead of them in this competition was of utmost importance!

Without any hesitation, Fang Qiu immediately rushed to the Peace Faction.

On the way, he forwarded Li Ji’s message with the location of the restricted military area to He Gaoming, telling him to hide well with the other brothers. Before his return, they were not allowed to leave the restricted military area.
