Mystery Descends: My Exchanges Are Not Equal

Wang Teng mumbled to himself before swallowing a Tier Two Spirit Pill.

[Successfully consumed Tier Two Agility Pill! Your Agility Attribute +30, Power Attribute +30!]

Not bad!

Wang Teng was delighted, feeling a bit wanting for more.

He still had over thirty such Tier Two Elixir Pills.

Once he refines them all, his strength will definitely increase significantly.

Thinking of this, Wang Teng felt a surge of excitement.

Right now, the Eight Clans army is about to press down on the city, so the stronger his strength, the better.

With that in mind, he swallowed a second Spirit Pill.

Before long, the power of the elixir flooded his body.

Wang Teng's combat power increased further, bringing him great joy…

Thus, Wang Teng continued to use elixirs to enhance his strength within the Palm Buddha Country.

......

A thousand miles away, in a valley.

The Eight Clans army was already breaking camp!

In the sky, Elder Wu stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking the army's movements.

A group of Profound Tier powerhouses stood respectfully behind him.

"Elder Wu~! It's rumored that Moon Exploration Ancient Town frequently encounters malicious entities. It's deep in the night now, are we really going?"

A Profound Tier powerhouse asked softly.

Elder Wu's old eyes gazed into the distance; he could wait no longer!

The disappearance of Medicine Spirit and Xiao Li made him inexplicably uneasy, prompting him to hurry to Moon Exploration Ancient Town to investigate.

If it were just some malicious beings, that would be fine, but if there really were challengers, allowing them to develop unchecked might lead to more trouble.

Moreover, the strategy of a swift attack on Moon Exploration Ancient Town was already decided with Clan Leader Gu Yuan, not allowing for any errors.

At this moment, a Profound Tier powerhouse flew up to Elder Wu to report.

"Elder Wu~! The army is ready!"

"Let's move out~!"

"Yes~!"

Immediately, the Eight Clans army left the valley, grandly heading towards Moon Exploration Ancient Town…

......

At the same moment, at the Eight Clans Headquarters.

Clan Leader Gu Yuan stepped outside, gazing towards Moon Exploration Ancient Town.

Just then, footsteps sounded behind him.

An elderly man with a commanding presence and snow-white hair stepped out.

The old man was named Bai Lie, another Supreme Elder above the Pan Gate of the Eight Clans, with unfathomable strength.

"Clan Leader Gu Yuan, you haven't rested this late, are you worried about Wu Hao and the others?"

Gu Yuan turned back, smiling slightly: "With the strength of Elder Wu and others, I have no worries at all."

Bai Lie nodded slightly: "Indeed! With their current expedition, they can handle even Seventh Heaven powerhouses. Moreover, they have reserves; even against Eighth Heaven powerhouses, they won't fall short!"

"And according to intelligence from Xiao Li, the challenger's strength is at most at the Peak of the Fifth Heaven, hardly worth worrying about."

"However, what I am concerned about is whether Elder Wu might return empty-handed. After all, the Heaven-Reaching Lake area is vast, and even with a three thousand strong army conducting a blanket search, they might not find anything."

At this time, Gu Yuan smiled slightly: "I've considered your concern. Therefore, before Elder Wu left, I discussed with him that even if they do not find the challenger near the Heaven-Reaching Lake, it's fine. Let them stay until dawn!"

Bai Lie was puzzled: "Huh? What does that mean?"

Gu Yuan, with a self-satisfied grin, said: "Elder Bai, today is the last day of the seven-day assessment, and the challenger's Celestial Tribulation is imminent. By then, every challenger's faction will be exposed to the lightning of the tribulation."

"Under the tribulation, lightning will be visible for miles, revealing the position of any challenger's faction."

Bai Lie's eyes lit up: "Haha~! I see! Even if Elder Wu and the others can't locate that challenger, they can find the challenger's base through the tribulation lightning. A great plan, truly a great plan!"

Gu Yuan laughed: "I hope Elder Wu and the others have a successful journey! Speaking of which, Jiu Ri Hall has recently been erratic, and the Wu Race of the Celestial Essence Continent frequently competes with our clan for benefits, resulting in us often being on the losing side."

"Hopefully this time, Elder Wu and the others can locate the challenger's base. By slaying the challenger, our clan can earn a massive amount of points, exchanging for numerous benefits. Perhaps we could even cultivate a few more Profound Tier powerhouses from this."

Bai Lie sighed: "Indeed~! The true measure of strength between two factions is in the power of the Profound Tier powerhouses."

"Our Dou Qi Continent's Profound Tier powerhouse count has always been less than that of the Wu Race, which is why we're weaker than them."

"If Elder Wu can wipe out the entire challenger faction this time, our Dou Qi Continent might indeed gain a few more Profound Tier powerhouses."

As it turns out, the Eight Clans army headed to Heaven-Reaching Lake to hunt down Wang Teng and avenge the Eight Clans disciples.

Additionally, it was to let Elder Wu find the challenger base for a massacre, earning a large number of points.

Then, they could use those points to earn benefits and train outstanding disciples into Profound Tier experts within their clan.

At this moment, Gu Yuan sighed: "The Wu Race! They've been suppressing us for many years. This time, whether we can turn the tide depends on Elder Wu and their actions."

Bai Lie laughed: "With your planning, Elder Wu and the others will surely succeed. Just wait for the points to roll in!"

"Let's hope so~!"

Gu Yuan smiled as he gazed into the night towards Moon Exploration Ancient Town, his eyes full of anticipation…

These two never anticipated that this major operation by the Eight Clans might not be an opportunity, but instead a disaster…

......

At the same time, at Guanghan Palace.

Wang Teng's proud figure stood aloft in the air.

At this moment, he had his eyes closed as if sensing something.

Speaking of which, after refining those elixirs, his strength had skyrocketed to 70,960 points.

With just that combat power on paper, he had already stepped into the Seventh Heaven.

Yet, in terms of real strength, it was much more than that.

"Hmm~? Interesting! So that's how clones can be used!"

At this moment, Wang Teng opened his eyes with a joyful look.

He had just sensed his clones.

Right now, of his five clones, four were engaged in alchemy, and one was handling White Ordinary-Level equipment.

As it turned out, clones and the main body couldn't be too far apart.

If they exceeded the range, the clones would automatically dissipate.

Wang Teng's five clones were all within the Palm Buddha Country.

And the Palm Buddha Country was inside Wang Teng.

In this way, the five clones were extremely close to him, leaving no worry of dissipation.

Since the clones wouldn't dissipate, they could share his workload at all times.

"This method is truly ingenious! From now on, I'll leave all the minor tasks of alchemy and earning money to the clones."

Wang Teng mumbled in his heart.

He had always been troubled by having too many miscellaneous tasks.

Unexpectedly, it was solved in such a clever manner.

With five clones handling those miscellaneous tasks within him, Wang Teng had a lot of energy left to focus on more important matters.

Thinking of this, Wang Teng felt secretly delighted.

The next moment, Wang Teng looked towards where Little Douzi was.

Right now, the three thousand strong army of the Eight Clans should be arriving soon…
