Chapter 774: Chapter 589 Unwelcome Guest_1
When someone approached with inquiries,
a piece of news quickly spread through the mouth of Flying Crane Master, entering the ears of several Foundation Establishment True Persons within the Luo Feng Province state mansion.
Master White Crane, accompanied by his White Crane and a close friend, searching for treasures in the treasure area discovered by the friend, encountered a life-and-death crisis.
Caught off guard, the Foundation Establishment True Person brought by Master White Crane’s friend died on the spot.
Both Master White Crane, the White Crane, and Master White Crane’s friend were greatly shocked by this turn of events.
In the face of a crisis capable of instantly killing a Foundation Establishment True Person, neither had any illusions of luck.
After witnessing the death of the Foundation Establishment True Person, they immediately turned and fled the area.
Fortunately, the crisis within that treasure area seemed to require a trigger, so the two people and the crane safely returned to the Luo Feng Province state mansion.
As for the various treasures within that treasure area, as well as the corpse of the Foundation Establishment True Person,
they were not brought out.
As of now, that treasure area still contains unknown dangers.
But it also holds numerous treasures.
According to the descriptions by Master White Crane and his friend, the treasure area seemed quite extraordinary, and the quality of the treasures within was also superior.
If not for being caught off guard and overly startled by the crisis, perhaps they would have been reluctant to leave.
However, unfortunately,
it remains unknown whether the friends and relatives of the deceased Foundation Establishment True Person will encounter any trouble due to his death.
Upon hearing the news from others, a guess flashed through He Song’s mind.
This Master White Crane,
and Master White Crane’s friend,
had both wanted to invite a Foundation Establishment True Person to join them in visiting that treasure area.
The person Master White Crane invited was himself.
Unfortunately, He Song didn’t give a second thought to such treasure areas.
And even if he did, with his caution, he would not likely join others in a treasure hunt.
Naturally, Master White Crane’s attempt to invite He Song was doomed to fail from the very start.
Master White Crane failed to invite any Foundation Establishment True Person to join them,
but his friend managed to invite another Foundation Establishment True Person.
This person did not possess He Song’s caution and, with their Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation, was attracted to such a treasure area.
Therefore, they went straight to the treasure area, following Master White Crane and his friend.
Then, they died there.
If someone were to say that this person’s death had nothing to do with Master White Crane or his friend, He Song would certainly not believe it.
After all, if they had not been aware of the danger level of the treasure area, or if the treasure area was actually fabricated by the two,
how could they possibly have invited a Foundation Establishment True Person each to join them in visiting that treasure area prior to departing?
He Song did not believe that Master White Crane’s invitation to visit that treasure area was truly in gratitude for a few words of advice.
According to He Song’s deduction,
might be fraught with peril.
Master White Crane and his friend’s main purpose for inviting other Foundation Establishment True Persons from Luo Feng Province state mansion to join them was likely to find cannon fodder.
The Foundation Establishment True Person who died there had been their chosen cannon fodder.
Once the cannon fodder died, they too would naturally leave.
Perhaps, once they found more cannon fodder, they would return to the treasure area.
In such a cycle, they might truly acquire what they sought after.
However, if things were to develop in this way, He Song was curious about the hidden treasures within that treasure area.
After all, a treasure area that could easily claim the life of a Foundation Establishment True Person likely contained treasures of no small quality.
Perhaps, there could even be Golden Core Treasures hidden within.
beyond this speculation, He Song had another guess in mind.
That is, the treasure area might have been a fabrication by the two.
In fact, their actual destination might have had no treasures at all, but instead, there could have been other Foundation Establishment True Persons lying in wait there.
Considering Master White Crane’s and his spirit beast White Crane’s strength, as well as that of his friend,
silently surrounding and killing a Foundation Establishment True Person would obviously be insufficient.
Assuming it takes four cultivators of the same level to take down a Foundation Establishment True Person, it’s likely they had accomplices lying in ambush outside.
Moreover, their accomplices should be numerous and formidable.
After all, Master White Crane had also invited He Song.
To silently surround and kill two Foundation Establishment True Persons, one of whom was at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, would undoubtedly be challenging.
And this is precisely why He Song speculated that, if this conjecture were true, the two would have numerous accomplices waiting.
Without accomplices, Master White Crane and his friend would likely be incapable of keeping two Foundation Establishment True Persons.
If they attempted to make a move, it’s probable that a single fleeing person could completely expose their true faces.
At that point, Master White Crane and his friend would naturally attract others’ attention.
At the very least, when the two reappeared, it would be impossible for anyone to trust them again.
Wouldn’t that be counterproductive?
With such thoughts, He Song had come to a conclusion about Master White Crane’s return and the news he brought back.
Both Master White Crane and his friend seemed to be up to no good.
