Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation! - Chapter 169

Chapter 169: Chapter 139: The Descending Sect’s Pawn, the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce (5,000-word chapter)_3
 

[Then, you quickly searched the secret chamber.]

[In this secret chamber, there were numerous valuable pieces of equipment and weapons, ranging from blue quality to legendary quality, amounting to no less than hundreds of items!]

[These were all equipment obtained by the Black Dragon Guild from instance dungeons. Without much hesitation, you stored them all into the Spirit Field Blessed Land.]

[Soon after, you discovered a few account books in the secret chamber, detailing the dirty dealings between the Black Dragon Guild and the Black Dragon Commerce Association.]

[You even found a secret letter in a hidden compartment!]

[The secret letter mentioned keywords like Descending Sect, and Dragon Protector.]

[You quickly stashed away the account books and the secret letter, then looted all the precious instance dungeon items and equipment from the secret chamber, preparing to escape the Black Dragon Guild.]

[You knew well that you had already triggered the mechanism of the secret chamber, and were now exposed. You feared that a Martial Emperor Level expert might arrive soon.]

[Therefore, instead of returning to school, you entered the most crowded profession user trading market in Kyoto.]

[You seized the opportunity, and while no one was watching, snuck into a corner and entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land instance dungeon!]

Su Xing realized this clearly, the Black Dragon Commerce Association truly had clandestine ties with the Descending Sect!

“As far as I know, there are only two cultivators in the Descending Sect, and Dragon Protector… must be referring to the Dragon Protector!”

“Black Dragon Commerce Association, Black Dragon Guild… Dragon Protector, I see, it all connects!”

Su Xing frowned slightly, in the previous simulation, he had killed a Martial Emperor of the Black Dragon Commerce Association, who was then quickly pursued by the Damned Zong.

And the Damned Zong was also connected with the Dragon Protector, perhaps it was the Dragon Protector who directed the Damned Zong to come after him!

“This Dragon Protector’s power is unfathomable, probably no weaker than the Damned Zong. This is going to be troublesome!”

Su Xing wondered what exactly was written in the Black Dragon Commerce Association’s account books and secret letter, so he muttered:

“Use the immersive simulation function, duration one hour!”

[Ding, you have successfully used the immersive simulation function, costing 100,000 points of simulated energy, with 30,130,000 points of energy remaining.]

A flash of white light appeared before Su Xing’s eyes, and in the next second, he was in the Spirit Field Blessed Land.

The surrounding scene hadn’t changed much; Su Xing focused his gaze on the items within the storage ring.

Sure enough, there were several account books and a secret letter.

After carefully reading through them, Su Xing’s face slightly changed as he finally understood the background of the Black Dragon Commerce Association.

This Black Dragon Commerce Association was essentially a public-facing organization of the Descending Sect!

The core high-level members of the Black Dragon Commerce Association were all controlled by the Dragon Protector using puppetry techniques!

Over the years, both the Black Dragon Commerce Association and the Guild had rapidly risen due to the support of the Descending Sect and the Dragon Protector in the shadows.

In return, the Black Dragon Commerce Association and the Guild provided the Descending Sect with intelligence, and many precious items and equipment!

In the secret letter, it was mentioned that the Dragon Protector’s lifespan was nearing its end and needed to extend it through the “blood sacrifice” method.

The stronger the sacrificial targets, the better the effect!

Hence, over the past few months, there had been so many death cases among the profession users in the Black Dragon Guild!

They didn’t fail the instance dungeon tasks, but were taken into the dungeon to be used for the Dragon Protector’s blood sacrifices.

As for the account books, besides real account details, it also recorded the number of people sacrificed.

In just six months, the number of people sacrificed reached a staggering twenty thousand!

Besides members of the Black Dragon Guild, many lone profession users were also used as sacrificial targets.

“Unbelievable, the Dragon Protector is so audacious! This is Kyoto! How dare the Black Dragon Guild openly perform blood sacrifices here?”

Su Xing found it hard to fathom how such a massive tumor like the Black Dragon Guild hadn’t been eradicated all these years.

Aside from operating in secrecy, the high levels of the Daxia country must have had spies from the Descending Sect acting as their shield!

After reading the secret letter, Su Xing turned his attention to the equipment within the storage ring.

This glance startled Su Xing.

“Goodness, so much high-level equipment, how valuable must this simulated energy be?”

“Wow… and such a large piece of fourth-rank special metal?! Goodness, this must weigh two to three tons? This must be worth tens of millions of points of simulated energy?”

Su Xing felt his heart race.

Just this large chunk of alien metal and the high-level equipment around, their combined value in simulated energy must be no less than a hundred million!

“Gulp~”

Su Xing swallowed hard, his heart filled with desire.

“In the simulator, I could extract this batch of items. So in reality, can’t I do the same?”

“This is a hundred million points of simulated energy! Enough for me to ascend to the peak of Divinity Transformation Stage!”

Su Xing found it hard to resist the temptation. Such an enormous amount of energy would take him at least two months to accumulate through the Tarot Commerce Association.

But now, if Su Xing could infiltrate the Black Dragon Guild and steal these items from the secret chamber, he could get rich overnight!

Although tempted by riches, Su Xing forced himself to stay calm and muttered:

“No, even if I plan to steal this batch of equipment, I can’t act so rashly!”

“At least… I need to see in the simulation if doing so would be detected, if it’s dangerous?”

A hundred million energy points were a huge fortune for Su Xing, provided that he wouldn’t be exposed.

Otherwise, no amount of energy would be worth the loss…

Soon, the immersive simulation ended.

Su Xing returned to the real world, eager to see the future scenario from the simulation.

[You figured out the conspiracy between the Black Dragon Commerce Association and the Descending Sect, which alarmed you even more.]

[To ensure your safety, you decided to hide in the Spirit Field Blessed Land for half a month.]

[Soon, half a month passed, and you reappeared in the real world.]

[At this time, the professional users’ trading market looked no different from usual. You carefully pretended to pick a few low-rank pieces of equipment, and returned to your dormitory.]
