Chapter 316: Return
In the following days, under the guidance of Liu Changsheng, one Treasure Hunters squad was eliminated each day.
At first, the Fellowship Alliance cultivators thought it was an inside job and pretended not to know.
But as a squad disappeared every day for seven consecutive days, leaving no survivors, the Treasure Hunters of the Fellowship Alliance grew suspicious.
They all knew that no internal member had the skills to pull this off.
They sent some scouts out, but some of them disappeared, while others returned with no findings.
Now, the Treasure Hunters seemed like prey to some giant beast, and they were too afraid to venture out alone. Even their raids were coordinated efforts.
Within the Fellowship Alliance, the internal conflicts and disputes that had simmered down earlier resurfaced, replaced once again by unity and harmony.
Wang Hong and his group had been waiting in the vicinity for more than ten days. Seeing that the Treasure Hunters had no intention of coming out individually, they decided to leave with their team.
Currently, this Treasure Hunters alliance still had over a hundred members, and confronting them head-on would be a losing proposition. They had to bide their time and strike when the opportunity arose.
Once the external danger subsided, these people would likely resume their internal struggles.
Having been out for so long, it was time for them to return. Each of them carried dozens of Storage Bags, making their journey extremely cumbersome.
In the later stages, most of the Treasure Hunters they had killed had more than ten Storage Bags on them.
It was likely the reason many cultivators became obsessed with killing for treasure.
Previously, Treasure Hunters did not fare well, often working solo or in small groups of three or four at most. They usually dared to rob only loosely connected cultivators, reaping meager rewards.
Only recently, with the internal turmoil in the Cultivation World, did they have the opportunity to band together and attack powerful forces they would otherwise avoid.
During their absence, another group of Treasure Hunters had prepared to raid the Mountain Valley base.
However, when they were just a dozen miles away from the Mountain Valley base, they were ambushed by a group of black-robed cultivators.
These black-robed cultivators were elusive and employed mysterious techniques. Some victims didn't even see it coming; they would be walking one moment and have their heads rolling on the ground the next.
After each successful ambush, the black-robed cultivators would immediately retreat. If pursued, more black-robed figures would appear to ambush the pursuers.
After losing seven or eight members in succession, the Treasure Hunters dared not linger in the area any longer. They turned and fled, not stopping until they had flown a considerable distance.
These black-robed individuals were, of course, the subordinates trained by Liu Changsheng. Some were tasked with delivering messages, while others were ordered to lurk in the area and eliminate any approaching Treasure Hunters.
Upon returning to Mountain Valley, Wang Hong and his group gathered all the spoils, totaling over two thousand Storage Bags.
Although many of these Storage Bags contained only first-tier Spiritual Objects, it was still an unprecedented windfall for Wang Hong.
They emptied these items, covering several acres of ground within Mountain Valley.
All the Qi Cultivation cultivators were mobilized to collect and categorize the loot. It took them two full days to complete the task.
Among the items, there were over a thousand Spiritual Weapons, mainly of medium and lower quality, with several high-quality ones as well.
Additionally, two large warehouses were constructed to store the Spiritual Objects. One held second-tier Spiritual Objects, and the other held first-tier Spiritual Objects. The objects were organized and stored accordingly.
These Spiritual Objects had been accumulated over hundreds or even thousands of years by various sects, families, and factions and formed the foundation for their survival and growth. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Now, all of it had been unearthed by the Treasure Hunters and fallen into the hands of Wang Hong.Wang Hong's acquisition of this wealth allowed him to cultivate a large number of low-tier cultivators.
While he could produce various Spirit Plants in his Space, he still needed to purchase many other cultivation resources. This windfall compensated for that shortfall and would last them quite a while.
After organizing the resources, the next step was to reward everyone based on their contributions, converting them into contribution points. Everyone could then freely exchange these points for items they needed.
Most individuals chose to exchange for items like pills, especially the Essence Core Pills that aided in body refinement, which sold like hotcakes.
Wang Hong also brought out some Green Spirit Peaches, both ripe and unripe, which could also be exchanged for contribution points.
However, these Spiritual Objects, which could directly enhance cultivation levels, were limited in quantity, and their exchange prices were relatively high. Whenever they were made available, they were immediately snatched up by eager cultivators.
As a result, most people had used up their points on these items, and the loot from the two warehouses remained untouched.
Most of the items in the warehouse were raw materials, and many people had no use for them. Additionally, some Spiritual Weapons and Magical Weapons were not in high demand at the moment.

Wang Hong assigned Wen Lan to lead a group of people into Azure Void City to retrieve the subordinates who had previously taken the Flying Boat into the city.
Upon their return, Wang Hong added over thirty Foundation Establishment Pills, which they had seized, to the exchange list.
All the Qi Cultivation cultivators who participated in this battle were at the Qi Cultivation Grand Perfection Realm. With Foundation Establishment Pills in hand, they all had the potential to advance to the Foundation Building stage.
This would allow Wang Hong to bolster his ranks with a new batch of Foundation Building cultivators. Having more strength at this point would enhance their security.
Furthermore, on Liu Changsheng's end, he discreetly sent over some of the spoils, leaving behind a portion of Foundation Establishment Pills as well.
Their side also needed to strengthen their forces urgently, and through this experience, Wang Hong discovered the many advantages of this hidden power.
While the Cultivation World was in turmoil internally, the Human Clan cultivators who had journeyed from the Boundary Mountain Range to the East Zhou Monster Realm had achieved remarkable results.
Firstly, they reclaimed Jin'an City, solidifying a tripartite balance of power with Boundary City and the new city. They could now mutually support each other, making their positions more secure.
Secondly, they cleared out the Demonic Beasts in the Boundary Mountain Range, securing it entirely for the Human Clan.
Following that, the second wave of cultivators established numerous strongholds in the Boundary Mountain Range, allowing them to rely on it for defense.
Afterward, with a fleet of one hundred large Flying Boats, over twenty thousand Foundation Building cultivators, and more than one hundred Golden Core cultivators, they launched a direct assault on the West Zhou Demon Realm.
This surprise attack caught the Western Demon Tribe completely off guard. Many Demon Clans had not even assembled before they were obliterated.
Human Clan cultivators moved freely in the West Zhou Demon Realm, cleansing it for over a month, slaughtering countless Demonic Beasts.
During this period, even fourth-tier Demonic Beast Kings were unable to gain an advantage for the Demon Clan.
The materials from the Demonic Beasts and various other spoils filled the decks of one hundred Flying Boats.
At this point, the Demon Clan finally reacted, amassing a significant force to counter the Human Clan.
At this juncture, Human Clan cultivators dared not remain on West Zhou's territory any longer. They swiftly retreated to the Boundary Mountain Range, preparing to hold their ground and counter the Demon Clan's retaliation.
Until now, this organized raid by the Human Clan had been highly successful, achieving the desired results by greatly weakening the Demon Clan's overall strength.
However, at this moment, a piece of news began circulating among the Human Clan cultivators.
Due to their departure, the East Zhou Cultivation Realm had become vulnerable internally, leading to chaos in the Cultivation World.
