Outside the Mysterious Place.
On the high platform beside the descending river, a person with extraordinary elegance, wearing a snowy white Divine Robe, resembling a holy fairy from the Moon Palace, stands at the forefront of the crowd.
If Ye Chen could see this person, he would definitely recognize her. She is indeed one of the two Female Star Lords he encountered in the Nine Bends Demon Realm—Star Lord Qian Lin!
At this moment, following Star Lord Qian Lin are three peak Cosmic Emperors, and Lin Tong, who had previously teamed up with Ye Chen, is now facing the four great figures, so frightened that he crouches and crawls.
Lin Tong never expected that after he reported the emergence of the First Treasure Tomb from the Mysterious Place back to the base camp, it would alarm the strongest presence in the camp—Star Lord Qian Lin!
Star Lord Qian Lin has actually come here personally!
It seems that the preciousness of the First Treasure Tomb is even more terrifying than Lin Tong imagined.
"It’s here, isn’t it?"
Star Lord Qian Lin glanced past Lin Tong, looking at the entrance of the cave in the Mysterious Place.
"Star Lord is asking you a question, Lin Tong, quickly tell the Lord about this place’s details without missing a single point!" A peak Cosmic Emperor, subordinate to Star Lord Qian Lin, hurriedly signaled Lin Tong.
This peak Cosmic Emperor is one of the three great treasure-hunting generals under Star Lord Qian Lin, named Di Hua.
Di Hua and the other two treasure-hunting generals each lead a treasure-hunting team, responsible for helping Star Lord Qian Lin search for treasure information across the Sea of Exile.
Lin Tong is a member under Di Hua.
Lin Tong managed to come to this Mysterious Place thanks to the information Di Hua provided. Lin Tong is Di Hua’s top Divine Master, with an incredibly sharp mind, and since this Mysterious Place can only be entered by Divine Masters, Di Hua assigned Lin Tong to explore here.
Originally, Di Hua wasn’t interested in this Mysterious Place either; otherwise, he would have arranged more Divine Masters with Lin Tong to explore together.
He thought it was just an ordinary Mysterious Place, and Lin Tong could easily find some treasures alone. After all, most of his people were occupied with other functions, excavating other Treasure Lands.
Yet, who knew that Lin Tong would send back a message from this Mysterious Place, claiming it to be an unbelievable Treasure Land, where tens of thousands of treasures had been discovered, including many Cosmic Emperor-level treasures! And within the most precious First Treasure Tomb, there might even be Star Lord-level treasures!
When this discovery was reported back to the base camp, it completely stunned even Di Hua. After all, involving a place that might contain Star Lord-level treasures is not trivial. Di Hua quickly reported this news to Star Lord Qian Lin.
Star Lord Qian Lin was equally shocked and came to this region personally!
In the Nine Bends Demon Realm, Star Lord Qian Lin had been holding back. Although she had major gains in the Nine Bends Demon Realm, her fame was overshadowed by the other Female Star Lord—Star Lord Ning Luo. The treasures she acquired couldn’t compare to those of Star Lord Ning Luo, and even the seemingly unimpressive Ye Chen surpassed her.
Eventually, the sudden closure of the Nine Bends Demon Realm made Star Lord Qian Lin hold back even more.
Now, suddenly hearing from the Abyss about the Mysterious Place, which might contain Star Lord-level treasures, undoubtedly caught Star Lord Qian Lin’s attention immensely.
Star Lord Qian Lin was eager to acquire more treasures soon to elevate her strength to surpass Ning Luo and the other Star Lords of the Abyss!
Therefore, despite her status, Star Lord Qian Lin personally came to this region!
"Reporting to Star Lord!"
Upon hearing Star Lord Qian Lin’s inquiry and seeing his leader Di Hua’s gesture, Lin Tong quickly recounted the events about the Mysterious Place to the great figures present.
"Initially, I received news about this Mysterious Place and didn’t pay much attention, thinking it had only some treasures, so I went to the small tavern... Then two people from Tavern No. 1 joined us in a team, one named Jiang Li, and the other named Tian Lan Yan..."
"Tian Lan Yan?" Hearing this name, Star Lord Qian Lin frowned.
She remembered this name.
Isn’t this a tremendously talented Divine Master in the Nine Bends Demon Realm, just like Ye Chen? Unexpectedly, this little girl also got involved in this affair.
Lin Tong didn’t notice Star Lord Qian Lin’s expression, as he didn’t dare to raise his head to look at the Star Lord before him.
After all, such a being as a Star Lord is utterly terrifying to him, entirely beyond his typical encounters.
Lin Tong only kept his head down, thoroughly explaining the events that took place.
"That Jiang Li is a slightly plump middle-aged man in fine attire, a first stage Divine Master Realm... That Tian Lan Yan looks much younger... There were also three other ninth-stage Divine Masters who teamed up with us..."
"After the six of us entered this Mysterious Place, we first encountered a cave full of Thunder Spiders..."
Upon hearing Lin Tong mention the Thunder Spiders and Thunder Pearls, both Star Lord Qian Lin and the other three peak Cosmic Emperors didn’t pay much attention.
However, when Lin Tong spoke of passing through the cave, entering a space with thousands of Treasure Tombs, each hosting a Treasure Jar, and that the entire area was filled with treasures, both Star Lord Qian Lin and the three peak Cosmic Emperors’ expressions changed.
"This Mysterious Place actually harbors so many treasures?!"
The other two peak Cosmic Emperors, like Di Hua, were also treasure-hunting generals under Star Lord Qian Lin.
Even though they’ve explored countless Treasure Lands, they’ve never heard of a place with such low danger yet producing so many treasures!
