Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

Chapter 169 - 139: The Pawn of the Descending Sect, Black Dragon Commerce Guild (5k mega chapter)_3

[Immediately, you began to quickly search the secret chamber.]

[Inside this secret chamber, there were numerous valuable pieces of equipment and weapons, ranging from blue quality to legendary quality, with no fewer than several hundred items!]

[These were all equipment that the Black Dragon Guild had obtained from instance dungeons, and without hesitation, you stored them all inside Spirit Field Blessed Land.]

[Soon after, you also found several ledgers in this secret chamber, which detailed the sordid dealings between the Black Dragon Guild and the Black Dragon Commerce Association.]

[Even more, in a hidden compartment, you found a secret letter!]

[This secret letter mentioned keywords such as "Descending Sect" and "Dragon Protector."]

[You quickly took the ledgers and the secret letter, then emptied the secret chamber of its precious instance dungeon items and equipment, preparing to flee from the Black Dragon Guild.]

[You knew that you had triggered the secret chamber's mechanisms, and your actions had been exposed; there were likely Martial Emperor Level powerhouses on their way here.]

[Therefore, instead of heading back to school, you entered the most crowded professional trading market in Kyoto City.]

[You found the right opportunity, and while no one was paying attention, you entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land instance in a corner!]

Su Xing realized that the Black Dragon Commerce Association was indeed colluding with the Descending Sect!

"To my knowledge, there are only two cultivators in the Descending Sect, and 'Dragon Protector'... must refer to the Dragon Protector!"

"Black Dragon Commerce Association, Black Dragon Guild... Dragon Protector, now it all connects!"

Su Xing slightly frowned, recalling his previous simulation where he had killed a Martial Emperor from the Black Dragon Commerce Association, and then was sought out by Damned Zong.

There was also a connection between Damned Zong and Dragon Protector; perhaps, Damned Zong was originally instructed by Dragon Protector to seek him out!

"This Dragon Protector has unfathomable strength, probably not weaker than Damned Zong, this is indeed troublesome!"

Su Xing was curious about what exactly was said in the ledgers and secret letter, so he silently recited:

"Activate immersive simulation feature for a duration of one hour!"

[Ding, you have successfully used the immersive simulation feature, spending 100,000 energy points. Remaining energy points: 30,130,000.]

A flash of white light crossed Su Xing's vision, and the next second, he was inside the Spirit Field Blessed Land.

The scenery around him hadn't changed much, and Su Xing turned his attention to the storage ring.

As expected, several ledgers and a secret letter.

After reading carefully, Su Xing's expression shifted subtly as he finally understood the origins of the Black Dragon Commerce Association.

The Black Dragon Commerce Association was simply a front organization for the Descending Sect!

The core higher-ups of the Black Dragon Commerce Association were all under the control of Dragon Protector's Puppetry Technique, their divine souls enslaved!

And over the years, the rapid rise of both the Black Dragon Commerce Association and Guild was due to the secret support of the Descending Sect and Dragon Protector.

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

This secret letter detailed that Dragon Protector's lifespan was nearing its end and he intended to extend his life through the 'Blood Trace' ritual.

And the stronger the subject of this blood sacrifice, the better the effect!

That's why there had been so many professional deaths in the Black Dragon Guild in the recent months!

They were not victims of failed instance dungeon missions but were taken into the dungeons as offerings for Dragon Protector's blood sacrifices.

As for the ledgers, apart from the true accounts, they also listed the numbers of those sacrificed.

In just half a year, the number of blood sacrifices had reached twenty thousand!

Apart from members of the Black Dragon Guild, many scattered professionals had also been used as blood sacrifice subjects.

"This is outrageous! How dare Dragon Protector be so bold! This is Kyoto! How can the Black Dragon Guild blatantly carry out blood sacrifices like this?"

Su Xing struggled to comprehend how such a malignant tumor as the Black Dragon Guild had not been eradicated over so many years.

Beyond their covert operations, there must also be spies from the Descending Sect among the upper echelons of Da Xia, acting as their umbrella of protection!

After reading the secret letter, Su Xing looked towards the instance dungeon items and equipment inside the Storage Ring.

This glance startled him.

"Goodness, so many high-level equipments, how much simulation energy could they be worth?"

"Hiss... and this huge chunk of Fourth-Rank Special Metal?! Goodness, it must weigh two or three tons, right? Isn't that worth tens of millions of simulation energy points?"

For a moment, Su Xing was tempted.

Just the large chunk of special metal, along with the surrounding high-level equipment, their simulation energy value could well exceed one hundred million!

"Glug~"

Su Xing swallowed hard, feeling a longing in his heart.

"In the simulator, I can extract all this stuff, so can I also manage it in reality?"

"This is one hundred million simulation energy points we're talking about! It would be enough for me to advance to the peak of the Divinity Transformation Stage!"

Su Xing found it hard not to be moved, such an amount of energy would take him at least two months to accumulate with Tarot Commerce Association.

Yet now, if Su Xing could sneak into the Black Dragon Guild, enter the secret chamber and steal these things, he could get rich overnight!

Although wealth was tempting, Su Xing still calmed himself down and muttered:

"No, even if I want to snatch this batch of equipment, I can't be so reckless!" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"At the very least... I need to see in the simulation if it would be detected, if there would be any danger?"

One billion energy points were a vast sum for Su Xing, but it all hinged on not being exposed.

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

Soon, the immersive simulation ended.

Su Xing returned to the real world, eagerly reviewing the simulated future outcome.

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

[For safety reasons, you decided to hide in Spirit Field Blessed Land for half a month.]

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

[The professional trading market looked no different than usual; with carefulness, you pretended to pick a few low-grade pieces of equipment and then returned to your dormitory.]
