Chapter 1164 An Ancient Relic! Shock Wulin!

The wine tasting was held in the inn at the foot of Mount Hua.

“Damn it, not a single one of them stayed behind!”

Since Ma Chunyu was driven away from the party that day, he had been hiding in the dark and observing, ready to find an opportunity to reveal all the secrets of Peace Faction.

However, throughout the party, he didn’t even get a chance.

Afterward, he stayed nearby to see if any other Wulin people would come in groups to buy wine from that inn.

But he didn’t expect that he had to wait for so many days.

John Doe’s Heaven Dew had thrilled all Wulin people, but the inn on Mount Hua didn’t pull in swarms of practitioners.

What he spotted were cultivators coming in twos and threes.

They weren’t even Martial Superiors.

There was no point in revealing the secrets in his heart to these people.

The critical chance to expose the sect’s secret was gone, so Ma Chunyu felt particularly angry and wronged.

He even moved into this inn.

“Am I just going to let the matter go?”

Ma Chunyu, who had almost recovered, clenched the wine cup in his hand and drained all the wine, as he sat by the window at a corner of the inn. Then he glanced at the street outside the window with a ferocious look and angrily vowed to avenge himself. “No, he destroyed everything I had in my life. My kung fu skill is as dear to me as life itself. Ruining it will cost him his life, and he will regret making this step!”

In a moment of excitement, Ma Chunyu crushed the wine glass in his hand to vent his anger.

He exerted so much of his strength that his face was slightly flushed. But even so, he failed to crush the cup in his hand.

He had lost his kung fu skill and was injured. In addition, he was old. How could he still have so much strength now?

“Pow!”

Ma Chunyu slammed the wine glass in his hand on the table. The loud sound attracted the waiter’s attention. He turned to check the situation and instantly felt relieved when he saw that the wine glass had not been smashed into pieces.

“I didn’t want to do that, but the damage is done. Don’t blame me for being merciless!”

He snorted angrily.

With a gloomy look on his face, Ma Chunyu took out a two-hundred-yuan bill and slapped it on the table. Then, he got up and went back to his room.

As soon as he was in his room, Ma Chunyu immediately took out his mobile phone and logged into the Wulin online forum to publish his post.

He could have used this method which he had in mind and posted it earlier, but he didn’t dare to.

It was because each martial arts practitioner could only have one ID on the Wulin online forum.

His online post would reveal his identity, and people from the Peace Faction would keep on hunting for him until they located him. It would be a great pleasure for them to kill him!

However, he couldn’t find a chance to air his grievances and he simmered with a lot of pent-up anger. Regardless of the worst possible outcomes, he uploaded his post eventually.

“Ancient Relic – Peace Faction’s Secret – Soon to be revealed!”

The title of the post looked very eye-catching.

The post certainly looked tantalizing at a glance.

“The Peace Faction discovered a vast secret Wulin place in Zangjiang, but an ancient formation sealed the relic. Lin Qingyi tried to crack the formation personally, but he failed in the end. He only learned that the formation was very similar to the formation used by John Doe’s people.”

“In that secret area, Lin Qingyi said that he could feel surges of powerful Qi of Heaven and Earth.”

“If my guess is right, it should be an ancient relic!”

“But Lin Qingyi wanted to keep it all for himself, so he kept it a secret. Even the Peace Faction’s disciples don’t know about it. Only their top executives were kept in the loop.”

“Lin Qingqing destroyed my kung fu skills and in return, I’ll expose your deepest secret. I’ll make you regret it for the rest of your life!”

He attached a Zangjiang map at the end of the post.

However, he didn’t mark the location of the secret place.

Ma Chunyu was rather clever in doing that.

He knew about the subsequent consequences.

After spreading the news to the world, the whole Wulin would go after the Peace Faction and Lin Qingyi. But once he revealed the location of the secret land, their target would not be the Peace Faction and Lin Qingyi, but the secret land instead.

Thus, even though he knew the exact location of the secret land, he would not tell!

All masters in Wulin had a special attachment to the ancient times.

They yearned for anything with the two words “ancient times.”

The post was sent out.

It immediately attracted many people’s attention.

Soon after that, the news spread like wildfire!

In just an hour, the post went viral.

The information disclosed in the post spread throughout Wulin at an extremely crazy speed in a short time.

“Is this true or false?”

“An ancient ruin?”

“Damn it, if it’s an ancient relic, it’ll unlock an immense fortune.”

“In ancient times, Wulin was at its peak. All the immortals, gods, and devils that people talk about nowadays originated from that era. In fact, there were some super experts who had gained a thorough understanding of cultivation and could apply theotechnic martial skills. If the news is true and the secret land is really an ancient relic, the things in it would be exceedingly terrifying.”

“Ma Chunyu?”

“He’s indeed one of the elders of the Peace Faction, but somehow he offended John Doe. Not long ago, John Doe broke into his faction to ask for an explanation. As a result, Lin Qingyi, Peace Faction’s leader, ruined his kung fu skills on the spot. No one expected that he would hold a grudge against Lin Qingyi and reveal such sensational news.”

“The Peace Faction has always been pretty low-key. Against all expectations, they hid such an astounding secret.”

“I think the Peace Faction kept a low profile because it has discovered such a huge secret, right?”

“The Peace Faction, one of the eight factions, can’t crack the formation for the secret land. It seems that the piece of land really exists and is very likely to be an ancient ruin. Then there might be ancient Heaven Treasures, magic weapons, and even invincible techniques that can help one to reach the theotechnic level!”

The entire Wulin was in an uproar.

Everyone began to keep a watchful eye on this matter.

The four clans were the first to receive this news. After all, they had people monitoring every change on the Wulin online forum.

It was the same with the eight factions and sixteen sects.

After hearing the news, all the forces followed the topic with enormous interest.

That was an ancient relic, after all.

Apart from the fact whether it was authentic or not, as long as the secret land existed, it was valuable enough for everyone to spend most of their time and energy on it.

Although Wulin looked peaceful, there were still many disputes within it. Especially when it came to those ancient treasures, fierce battles were inevitable.

For example, when Fang Qiu got the Divine Consciousness, didn’t it lead to him being challenged by countless people?

In the back garden of the Diwu Great Family in Nanjiang, Diwu Qian was cultivating after drinking some Heaven Dew, while Diwu Mingchuan was enjoying his delicious dishes and savoring the liquor.

“Master, big news!”

Out of nowhere, one of his men popped up before Diwu Mingchuan.

“Hmm?”

Diwu Mingchuan looked at him inquiringly.

“Ma Chunyu, the Peace Faction’s abandoned elder, revealed that Lin Qingyi, the Peace Faction’s leader, found a secret place in Zangjiang, which was said to be an ancient ruin protected by a powerful formation!”

The man reported.

“What?”

Upon hearing the term “ancient ruin,” Diwu Mingchuan perked up, his eyes shining with excitement.

Even Diwu Qian, who was in cultivation, immediately opened her eyes.

…

“The ancient ruin, the ancient ruin…”

When Patriarch Qian of the Qian family in the capital heard the news, he immediately frowned. Although he didn’t look well, there was a crazed look lurking in the depths of his eyes.

…

“The secret Land?”

Xi Fengling who was in the Xi family’s great hall shook her head and said, “There are too many hidden places in the world, and many have been discovered, but no one can open them, let alone enter to explore them. No matter how powerful our kung fu skill is, we may be headed to our doom when we head for undisclosed areas like the Death Valley.”

“I think the secret land we can’t enter shouldn’t be called that.”

Xi Shaolin shook his head, saying, “Only the secret places we can enter are worth being kept as a secret.”

“Right.”

Xi Fengling nodded and said, “Zangjiang is a good place. We should pay close attention to this secret place.”

“I understand.”

Xi Shaolin nodded, turned around, and left.

…

“What did you say?”

In the Zhan family’s bamboo house, Elder Zhan who was dozing on his bed-mat, bounced up from the bed upon hearing the news. He darted to Zhan Lin and asked, “An ancient relic? Are you sure it’s an ancient relic?”

“I’m not sure.”

Zhan Lin immediately shook her head and said, “But there is a high possibility.”

“Hee hee, hee hee…”

Elder Zhan collapsed into giggles, revealing his big yellow teeth, and said, “After decades of peace, there’s finally going to be some fun happening in Wulin again. Tee-hee.”

He grinned from ear to ear. A great aura of energy slowly streamed out from his body, which almost left Zhan Lin feeling breathless.

…

“Pow!”

In the Peace Faction’s hall, Lin Qingyi, sitting on the seat of honor, slammed his hand violently on the armrest of the chair and ordered angrily with a livid face. “The traitor! Get him!”

The several elders in the hall looked up at their leader with scowls on their faces.

Sure enough!

They discovered the secret land in Zangjiang a long time ago. Just because there was a possibility for them to gain access, they had kept it a secret and spent a long period studying the opening method. However, to everyone’s great surprise, Ma Chunyu disclosed this piece of information publicly online.

Without a doubt, the laborious efforts of Lin Qingyi and the whole Peace Faction vanished like soap bubbles!

How could Lin Qingyi not be furious?

“If I had known this would happen, we wouldn’t have been so lenient that day. We should have killed him!”

An elder said heatedly.

“Before he entered the faction, I said that this narrow-minded person would bring disaster to us. You didn’t listen to me. Just because you value his strength, you promoted him to the position of an elder. Now…”

An elder blamed the others for making the wrong decisions.

“Stop it.”

Lin Qingyi thundered angrily, “It’s all over. What’s the point of talking about the past?”

Everyone immediately shut up.

All of them lapsed into silence, and no one dared to speak again.

“Ma Chunyu didn’t reveal the location of the secret land. His purpose is to let the Peace Faction become the center of attention in Wulin and make us the target of other forces!”

Lin Qingyi narrowed his eyes and said, “Find and kill him. Let’s not go to Zangjiang during the next three, five or ten years. This piece of news will fade away eventually. The ancient ruin will still be ours sooner or later!”
