216: Enlightenment Tea Tree Acquired

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"

With Chu Feng pulling with all his might.

The massive enlightenment tea tree was quickly pulled out and then stored by him into a Storage Ring.

"Senior Brother Gu, Senior Sister Mu, we have the item. We can leave now." After securing the enlightenment tea tree, Chu Feng shouted to Gu Chen and his companions, who were still fighting.

"Haha, alright!!"

Hearing this, Gu Chen excitedly repelled his opponents and retreated with Mu Xueqing and the others to Chu Feng's side.

Seeing that Night Owl's Slaughter Mist hadn't moved yet, he also called out to the Slaughter Mist, "Senior Brother Ye, stop fighting them. We have the item, we need to retreat."

As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking.

Night Owl also retracted the Slaughter Mist and quickly flew to Gu Chen and his companions, leaving behind a group of bewildered disciples from the Seven Great Emperor-level Factions.

"Senior Brothers, don't let them escape! They straight up stole the enlightenment tea tree!!"

Seeing the disciples from the various factions who had just been enveloped by the Slaughter Mist reappear.

The people fighting Gu Chen and his companions hastily informed them of the situation.

"What!! They stole the enlightenment tea tree too?"

Hearing the voices of these disciples and seeing that the spot where the enlightenment tea tree stood was now empty.

The group was so shocked they were nearly stupefied.

Their factions only fought for the enlightenment tea leaves every ten years, and that was just fighting for the leaves.

Now, Night Owl and these people from the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce were something else—they stole the entire tree! This was truly outrageous.

After regaining their senses, dozens of disciples from the Seven Great Factions did not surround Night Owl and his companions.

Because they had just experienced Night Owl's power within the Slaughter Mist and knew that any attempt to stop them would be futile.

Therefore, they had to explain the consequences to Night Owl and his companions and make them replant the enlightenment tea tree themselves.

Thus, several leading disciples flew up to Night Owl and his companions.

"Fellow Daoists of the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce, what you are doing will bring catastrophic disaster upon the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce. If you replant the enlightenment tea tree now, it's still not too late."

"That's right, fellow Daoists of the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce. As long as you replant the tree, all the enlightenment tea leaves from this cycle will belong to your Tianbao Chamber of Commerce. Otherwise, even if you escape our encirclement, you won't escape the Enlightenment Secret Realm."

"Exactly. Outside, there are the Great Emperor Old Ancestors of our Seven Great Factions. You won't escape. Leave the enlightenment tea tree, and you still have a chance to live."

Several disciples of the Seven Great Factions threatened Night Owl and his companions.

They believed that as long as Night Owl and his companions had any sense, they would replant the enlightenment tea tree.

After all, the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce only had one Great Emperor, while their Seven Great Factions had seven Great Emperors.

Seven Great Emperors fighting one Great Emperor—even a child would know the implications.

"Heh heh, why should we replant something we seized by our own skill?"

"Good dogs don't block the road. If you don't stop us, we're leaving."

Hearing these threats, Gu Chen mocked them with a smile.

Night Owl and his companions remained silent, staring intently at the group, ready to break through at any moment.

"Fine! Fine!"

"Good advice is lost on those who are determined to die. Since you insist on stealing the enlightenment tea tree, then go ahead and leave. I'd like to see if you can still be so arrogant once you are outside."

"Hmph, if you have the guts, then leave. As long as you dare to go, we won't chase you."

"Exactly, everyone move aside and let them go!!"

The leading disciples saw that after they had clearly explained the consequences, Gu Chen and his companions were not only unafraid but were acting extremely arrogant.

Immediately, they ordered their own disciples to clear a path.

They simply didn't believe that Gu Chen and his companions would truly dare to leave with the enlightenment tea tree.

"Heh heh, then thank you very much!"

"Bye-bye, everyone."

Seeing that the disciples of the Seven Great Factions were all standing together, not preparing to intercept them.

Gu Chen and his companions smiled, flew past the group, and even gave a friendly wave.

"Hiss! Senior Brothers, they really left."

"That's right, Senior Brother, they really stole the enlightenment tea tree."

Seeing Gu Chen and his companions leave without hesitation, the group of Seven Great Emperor-level Faction disciples who had cleared the path stared at their retreating figures in astonishment.

The few leading disciples also looked at their retreating figures with blank expressions.

They had told Gu Chen and his companions to leave, but they never expected them to actually dare to go.

Were they truly not afraid that the Great Emperor Old Ancestors outside would besiege the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce once they learned the situation?

"Senior Brother, now that the enlightenment tea tree is gone, let's go outside and search for other heavenly materials and earthly treasures."

"That's right, Senior Brother. We rarely get a chance to enter, we can't miss this opportunity."

A group of disciples from the Seven Great Emperor-level Factions recovered their senses and looked eagerly at the leading Senior Brothers.

Now that the enlightenment tea tree had been stolen by Gu Chen and his companions, they hadn't managed to grab a single leaf. If they didn't search for other treasures within the Enlightenment Secret Realm, this trip would have been completely wasted.

"What the hell are you searching for? The enlightenment tea tree was stolen! What good are other treasures?"

"Exactly. We must hurry out and inform the Old Ancestors about this situation, don't let these arrogant guys escape."

"Go, go, go! Let's get out of the Secret Realm quickly."

The leading Senior Brothers were so angry that their faces turned green upon hearing these people still thinking about searching for treasure.

They quickly scolded them and then led them, flying towards the exit of the Enlightenment Secret Realm at the fastest possible speed.

They had to get out before Gu Chen and his companions, or if Gu Chen and his companions escaped first with the enlightenment tea tree, their offense would be enormous.

On the large lake outside the Enlightenment Secret Realm.

The Great Emperor Old Ancestors of several Holy Lands and several families, along with Elder Yu, were exchanging information and treasures.

When they were nearly finished, the group began chatting happily among themselves.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, the people your Tianbao Chamber of Commerce sent in this time are too weak; they certainly won't be able to snatch any enlightenment tea leaves."

"If your Tianbao Chamber of Commerce runs out of enlightenment tea leaves, you can come to me to trade." The Great Emperor Old Ancestor of Xuantian Holy Land said to Elder Yu with a smile.

All those who entered from his Xuantian Holy Land this time were elites; three of them were even ranked in the top ten of the Saint King List.

Based on strength, his Xuantian Holy Land definitely snatched the most, giving him the confidence to say such things to Elder Yu.

Of course, he didn't actually want to trade anything; he just wanted to mock Elder Yu.

Because that Old Thing, Huyan Zhuo, often flaunted his wealth in front of him, relying on having the continent's number one chamber of commerce, he had to seize this opportunity to ridicule him.

Elder Yu looked at the smiling old face of the Xuantian Old Ancestor.

He knew this was just polite talk, intended to mock the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce for failing to acquire enlightenment tea leaves this time.

Thus, he replied with a smile.

"Heh heh, the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce appreciates Fellow Daoist's kind intentions."

"However, our Tianbao Chamber of Commerce is the wealthiest across the entire continent, and we still have some enlightenment tea leaves stored away. For now, we don't need to initiate any trades."

"If, however, Fellow Daoist needs to use enlightenment tea leaves to exchange for something, our Tianbao Chamber of Commerce would be happy to oblige."

His words clearly stated that the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce was not lacking enlightenment tea leaves.

They also hinted to the Xuantian Old Ancestor that if he ever became extremely poor, he could use enlightenment tea leaves to trade at the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce, effectively shutting him up.

"Very well, very well. If I ever have such a need, I will certainly come to Fellow Daoist to trade."

Hearing Elder Yu's measured response.

The Great Emperor Old Ancestor of Xuantian Holy Land paused his smile, dropped that sentence, and went to talk to the other Holy Land Old Ancestors.
