Chapter 1068: Divided Equally (Asking for Subscriptions)_1
After experiencing what had happened before, these Elders, upon hearing Xu Sheng say this, all fell into hesitation…
"This… Should we follow? Maybe there really are treasures without traps?"
"Or… maybe let's not? Suppose this is part of the Duanmu Clan's conspiracy, aiming to lower our guard and then lure us into a trap; if that happens, we all could be done for."
"Right! I also feel something is off, better wait for the Duanmu Clan's people to enter first, then we'll decide."
"Although I am inclined to trust the Duanmu Clan, but still… let's observe for now."
After all, it hadn't been long since that incident took place, and now such claims were being made…
Moreover, if there truly were treasures ahead without any traps, would the Duanmu Clan genuinely be so kind as to inform them?
Wouldn't that be foolish?
Thinking this, they still unified their thoughts, which was to maintain a certain distance and follow behind Xu Sheng and the others, watching them closely…
Once anything unexpected occurred, they would quickly flee…
Duanmu Lian cast a sidelong glance at the vigilant Elders behind her and said complexly to Xu Sheng, "Xu Sheng, look what you've done, scaring all these Elders like this!"
She could understand the thoughts of the other Clans' Elders who wanted to trust Xu Sheng but were also afraid of being calculated against…
One of the Duanmu Family Elders said, "They don't trust Elder Xu, fearing that they might fall for Xu Sheng's tricks!"
Another Elder spoke up cautiously, "Elder Xu, was what you said before true? Are there really treasures ahead with traps?"
Xu Sheng smiled and said, "Of course it's true, but it seems the other Clans' Elders don't have
While Zhou Qingruo's amber eyes narrowed, she pursed her lips lightly and said in a soft voice, "Taking all these treasures might provoke dissatisfaction among the other Clans…"
The implication was that the Elders from other Clans might very well resort to some measures for the sake of these treasures!
In this Secret Realm, if one died, no one would investigate it, as interests far outweighed everything else!
Hearing this, Xu Sheng just smiled...
A moment later, after they had continued forward for a while...
Not too far ahead, a light screen began to slowly emerge, glowing with an unusual light, completely isolating the space within…
Visible to the naked eye, inside this isolated space, there were many treasures of exceptionally good quality!
Just being placed there, they faintly shimmered with an enticing light…
Upon seeing this, Duanmu Lian exclaimed, "It's all treasures! But they are isolated by this light screen!"
Zhou Qingruo narrowed her eyes and said, "If we want to get these treasures, I'm afraid we'll need to forcefully break the light screen."
Meanwhile, the other two Duanmu Elders looked solemnly at the light screen, ready to attack at any moment…
And Xu Sheng, upon hearing this, gazed calmly at the light screen and chuckled lightly, "Yes! That's indeed the case, but, well…"
After saying that, the corners of his mouth curled into an arc…
…
The subsequent Elders who arrived, upon seeing the peculiar light screen and the treasures inside, all praised themselves for their earlier wisdom!
One of the Elders revealed a look of unsurprising realization and said, "I knew it wouldn't be so simple, the defense of this light screen must be strong; otherwise, why would it be used to protect so many treasures!"
Another Elder also nodded in agreement, "Exactly, although it looks quite ordinary, no one knows what might happen after breaking this light screen!"
"Thank goodness we didn't rush over there, or we would have been used as grunt workers!!"
"But... the treasures in there seem to be of high quality, if we could get them, it would be a considerable gain for the family!!!"
The next moment, they were completely stunned…
Each person even wanted to curse themselves fiercely...
Xu Sheng approached the light with a calm expression; then he reached out and touched it, allowing spiritual power to surge in wildly...
The next instant, there was a sudden burst of light, and the whole light screen began to dim down. With a "thump," it shattered instantly, just like glass...
Looking at this sudden turn of events, excitement began to rise in the hearts of the two Duanmu Family Elders...
They both started speaking with animated tones, "Could it be... it opened directly? Shouldn't this light screen be hard to break?"
"After infusing it with spiritual power, it shattered. Doesn't this mean that we've struck it rich this time! Hahahaha! Well done, Elder Xu!"
Now, they had complete trust in Xu Sheng, who not only knew everything about the Xuanming Domain like the back of his hand but also maintained his composure no matter what predicament he faced!
This was truly the demeanor of a strong person!
Duanmu Lian glanced at the two with her beautiful eyes and said in a soft voice, "Alright, both of you elders, don't get too excited. Who knows what might happen next!"
It was remarkable how these top-tier clan elders could lose their composure!
When Xu Sheng heard this, he shook his head and said, "No! After breaking the light screen, one can safely obtain the treasures within!"
Indeed, there were no traps inside, the only concern was the elders of the other families behind them!
Zhou Qingruo's gaze sharpened as she asked seriously, "Xu Sheng, is this also what that power of yours sensed before?"
They had already known how terrifying Xu Sheng's "Divine Power" was, but had not expected it to encompass the entire Xuanming Domain, even knowing everything within it, including any traps and treasures!
However, the two Duanmu Family Elders could no longer listen to the conversation and hastily said, "Then what are we waiting for?! Hurry up and collect them! It'll be troublesome if someone else discovers them!"
"With these treasures, our Duanmu Clan will definitely rise to a higher level!"
However, at that moment, the elders from behind quickly converged...
One of the elders approached with a sly smile and said, "My fellow elders, since we all discovered this place together, why not share the spoils equally?"
After saying this, he even winked at the surrounding elders...
These elders were all old foxes and immediately understood his intentions...
They spoke up one after another, "That's right, that's right. Sharing equally is fair to everyone!"
"Who would have thought such rich treasures would appear here? Even if our families share them, we'll surely get a lot!"
"However, it was the Duanmu Clan who found this place first; let them pick their items first. What do you think about that?"
"That would be great! This way, it'll save us a lot of trouble!"
Duanmu Lian, hearing these shameless words, clenched her fists and said coldly, "My fellow elders, don't you think this is somewhat inappropriate?"
It was their Duanmu Family who had discovered it, so why should they share it with the others?
When the light screen was being broken, none of them spoke up, but now that there were treasures, they shamelessly talked about sharing equally!
They had cast aside all dignity for the sake of the treasures!
