Chapter 6008: A Complete Profiteer

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

"Lord Xiao, you… you're joking, right?!" Fang Nan asked in astonishment.

"That's right! Brother Xiao! Immortal King Ting Yue came here? No way, right?!"

"Gulp." Leng Qingfeng swallowed hard and looked around.

"Why would I lie to you? Immortal King Ting Yue did come, she has just already left," Xiao Fan said calmly.

The expressions of Guard Captain Luo Sanhong's subordinates turned extremely ugly, and they silently lowered their heads.

Leng Qingfeng and the others puffed out their chests, heads held high with arrogant expressions, and began to interrogate these people.

"Speak. You've followed Guard Captain Luo Sanhong for so long, what bad deeds have you done? Confess honestly! Otherwise, hehehe… you'll face severe punishment!" Leng Qingfeng said coldly.

Guard Captain Luo Sanhong was dead, and he had crossed the bottom line of Immortal King Ting Yue.

These Guard Team members knew that things had gone south and honestly confessed everything.

They shifted all the blame onto Guard Captain Luo Sanhong.

Xiao Fan walked to the front of the ancient castle in the Zangtian Sea and swept away eighty percent of the countless treasures buried underground in one go.

After taking eighty percent, Xiao Fan pursed his lips, feeling that there was still quite a lot left.

Consequently, he took another ten percent.

Only then did Xiao Fan clap his hands, feeling it was about enough.

Although he had met Immortal King Ting Yue, she was an Immortal King, so she surely wouldn't care.

That's right. She surely wouldn't.

Half a day later… Lord Wu Tongtian arrived with his men.

Anything involving the Forbidden Land of the Zangtian Sea, within the territory of Immortal King Ting Yue, was no small matter.

"Xiao Fan, what's the situation? Tell me from the beginning!" Lord Wu Tongtian said in a deep voice.

"My Lord! It's like this! That man, Guard Captain Luo Sanhong, committed countless evils! He colluded with the forbidden creatures of the Zangtian Sea! Sigh… it is intolerable to heaven!" Xiao Fan said with feigned heartbreak, recounting Guard Captain Luo Sanhong's crimes one by one.

He then described himself as very heroic.

For example, how he discovered Guard Captain Luo Sanhong's scheme, and what methods he used to force Guard Captain Luo Sanhong to reveal his true colors, and so on.

Lord Wu Tongtian listened, stunned, nodding repeatedly.

"Good! Very good! Xiao Fan, you did very well…" Lord Wu Tongtian nodded repeatedly.

"It is thanks to your daily teachings, My Lord," Xiao Fan nodded and grinned.

"My Lord, look!" Xiao Fan pointed to the remaining ten percent of treasures under the Zangtian Sea ancient castle.

"These! They are all what Guard Captain Luo Sanhong has accumulated over the years! Your subordinate has been watching them! I haven't touched a single thing!"

"Hmm? Xiao Fan, you are very good." Lord Wu Tongtian said expressionlessly, looking deeply at Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan was stunned, wondering inwardly, could Lord Wu Tongtian have discovered it?!

That shouldn't be!

"My Lord, is something wrong?!" Xiao Fan asked.

"Nothing, you did very well. A mere Guard Captain Luo Sanhong actually managed to get so many treasures in the Zangtian Sea; he should have been killed sooner." Lord Wu Tongtian sighed softly, glancing at Xiao Fan from the corner of his eye.

Xiao Fan frowned slightly, suddenly realizing something.

"My Lord! Could it be that you already knew about Guard Captain Luo Sanhong's affair?!"

"There were some rumors, otherwise I wouldn't have sent you to investigate," Lord Wu Tongtian said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan was suddenly shocked.

The so-called regular inspections of the Forbidden Land, Xiao Fan had taken three of them.

Could it be! That these Forbidden Lands were all discovered to have problems?!

Or in other words, has Lord Wu Tongtian also discovered that there is a problem with the Soul-Burning Valley?!

If that were the case… wouldn't that mean that the matter of the Soul-Burning Valley's mysterious Soul Swallower reaching the outside world had already been known by Lord Wu Tongtian?!

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan felt a lingering fear.

How fortunate! That he had the Soul-Burning Valley Soul Swallower ambush Guard Captain Luo Sanhong.

Otherwise, when Immortal King Ting Yue came earlier, wouldn't he have been exposed?!

"Xiao Fan, you have rendered a service in this matter. Upon returning to the Yu Jue Immortal Palace, you will be heavily rewarded," Lord Wu Tongtian said calmly.

"Yes! Thank you, Lord Wu!" Xiao Fan nodded heavily.

Afterward, the cleanup was left to Lord Wu Tongtian's people.

Whether Xiao Fan had taken the resources or not, Lord Wu Tongtian was actually clear in his heart that he must have taken them.

But regarding such matters, Lord Wu Tongtian had no intention of pursuing it.

Xiao Fan discovering Guard Captain Luo Sanhong's conspiracy and preventing a major disaster was a great merit.

Taking some resources was nothing major.

Furthermore, this was also the intention of Immortal King Ting Yue.

Even if Xiao Fan hadn't taken them, Immortal King Ting Yue would have still told Lord Wu Tongtian to reward Xiao Fan handsomely.

Currently, Xiao Fan was not yet qualified to meet Immortal King Ting Yue.

After handling the affairs of the Zangtian Sea, Xiao Fan and the others could set off for the Undying Ice Mountain.

But before heading to the Undying Ice Mountain, Xiao Fan thought of another matter.

"Since everything in the Zangtian Sea is treasure, I might as well clean it out…" Xiao Fan smiled slightly.

The Zangtian Sea was no longer considered a Forbidden Land now.

Before long, it would be opened to the public, and everyone would be able to come in.

By that time, the resources of the Zangtian Sea would no longer be rare items.

If he took everything here now.

Later, if others needed treasures from the Zangtian Sea, they would only be able to get them through Xiao Fan.

At that time, Xiao Fan could demand exorbitant prices!!

Thinking of this, the corners of Xiao Fan's mouth couldn't help but rise.

"If I weren't cultivating, I would definitely be a complete profiteer…" Xiao Fan laughed from ear to ear.

For the following month, Xiao Fan had Leng Qingfeng and the others, as well as the subordinates left behind by Guard Captain Luo Sanhong, start unscrupulously collecting the resources of the Zangtian Sea.
