CHAPTER 1653: CHAPTER 376:

"Is Cao Zhen’s immortal power limitless?"

"I didn’t expect that the Rare Treasures Commerce Association was already prepared, yet their Great Formation was still forcibly breached!"

"What will Cao Zhen do next?"

The people of the Rare Treasures Commerce Association were the first to fly towards the Great Formation of the treasury, but Cao Zhen was even faster. In the blink of an eye, he surpassed everyone and looked at those in the Earth Immortal Realm, suddenly shouting, "Many of you are not even part of the Rare Treasures Commerce Association. They’ve merely provided you resources to serve as offerings.

This is not your sect, not your home. Why risk your lives for the Rare Treasures Commerce Association? Now that their Great Formation has already been broken, if we can break one, we can break the second, the third...

Instead of waiting for the formation to be broken and die in vain, why not escape now?

We only have a vendetta with the Rare Treasures Commerce Association, not with you. It’s not easy for you to cultivate to the Longevity Period, is dying like this worth it?"

This is the biggest difference between the Rare Treasures Commerce Association and the Great Teachings.

If they attacked those from the Great Teachings, people from the Great Teachings might fight to the death.

But the people the Rare Treasures Commerce Association finds are essentially mercenaries for money, how could they fight to the end?

As Cao Zhen’s words fell, many around him became shaken.

Then, several voices rang in his mind.

"Sect Leader Cao, no, Sect Leader Cao, it’s not that we want to fight for them, it’s that the Rare Treasures Commerce Association holds things over us!"

"Sect Leader Cao, after joining the Rare Treasures Commerce Association, they compiled a roster documenting our identities.

If we run now, when more powerful members of the Rare Treasures awaken, they will surely come after us for retribution!"

"Sect Leader Cao, we can pretend to resist, you attack us with a slightly weaker spell, and we will pretend to be injured and will not stop you!"

"Sect Leader Cao, we..."

Listening to the cries, Cao Zhen sneered, "Are you still afraid of the Rare Treasures Commerce Association’s revenge? They recorded your identities, did they? I will just burn that roster.

As for revenge, if everyone in their association is dead, who could possibly retaliate against you?"

As Cao Zhen’s words fell, his figure suddenly flashed, instantly appearing in front of the Rare Treasures Chairman who was about to hide inside a Great Formation.

The Rare Treasures Chairman’s eyes instantly widened, looking at the figure before him. He was so frightened that he was scared out of his wits, Cao Zhen, how could he be so fast, he...

The Rare Treasures Chairman wanted to dodge, but before he could take any action, the shadow of a sharp sword grew larger in his vision, followed by a surge of severe pain, and then his entire aura completely ceased.

"Since you initially sought the assassins to kill me, you should have been prepared for me to kill you!"

Cao Zhen killed the Rare Treasures Chairman with one sword stroke, looked around, and shouted again, "Their chairman is dead, do you still want to fight?"

As soon as he finished speaking, many people around hurriedly retreated to both sides, while secretly transmitting their voices into his mind.

"Sect Leader Cao, the roster must be in the Rare Treasures Chairman’s Qiankun Bag!"

"Sect Leader Cao, I’ve seen it, the chairman put the roster in a Qiankun Bag, it’s a black book..."

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhen did not act again but reached into the Rare Treasures Chairman’s Qiankun Bag, and with an internal glance, he quickly pulled out a book with a black cover.

"This is the roster you were talking about, then, now this roster no longer exists!"

As Cao Zhen spoke, he squeezed hard, and the roster shattered with a bang.

In the next moment, each cultivator around suddenly turned and ran outward.

Just as Cao Zhen said, they are not part of the Rare Treasures Commerce Association, it’s not their foundation here, they have no reason to risk their lives for it.

Moreover, they have already attained certain benefits, why stay behind at this point?

Even if Cao Zhen doesn’t kill them, since they are now withdrawing from battle, when the Rare Treasures Commerce Association’s Indestructible Period experts awaken, they’ll surely be held accountable.

Even if they’re not called to account, staying at the Rare Treasures Commerce Association means they’ll continue following their orders, how can it compare to the freedom outside?

Anyway, the roster is gone, and many are solitary individuals, with no ties or attachments, they could find a place to hide and carry on. Without the roster, how would the Rare Treasures Commerce Association find them?

People always follow others’ leads. If one person runs, so does the second one. In just a blink, more than half of the Earth Immortal Realm from the Rare Treasures Commerce Association ran outside.

Cao Zhen did not care about these people either. Killing the Rare Treasures Chairman was because he had hired assassins to target him. Others had no personal grudges against him, so he truly didn’t wish to kill them.

He let these people run because he didn’t want trouble or delays. After all, their goal this time was the resources in the treasury.

With a large number from the Earth Immortal Realm leaving, those who had entered the Formation also fled one after the other.

In an instant, their view became flat and open.

"This time, it was even easier than anticipated."

Cao Zhen pointed at the treasuries before them, "Hurry, break open the treasuries and take the treasures inside."

Saying this, he began to take action, breaking open the first treasury. They came prepared this time and wouldn’t face a situation like the last time, where they didn’t have enough Qiankun Bags.

As Cao Zhen entered the treasury, Duo Duo looked to the side at Immortal Ruo Yun, and said in a low voice, "Ruo Yun Junior Sister, Master still has some compassion. Just taking from the treasury is not enough; the Rare Treasures Commerce Association still has sleeping experts.

Master thinks those people have no grudges against us, so he doesn’t want to kill them, but we..."

"Let’s help Master resolve this impending concern," Ruo Yun nodded, flying towards the rear mountain with Duo Duo. Zhu Peng followed closely.

In the distance, those watching finally realized Cao Zhen’s true goal in coming this time.

"So, they came for the Rare Treasures Commerce Association’s treasury!"

"Cao Zhen took once and it wasn’t enough, now he’s here for a second time?"

"Why do you think no one targeted the Rare Treasures Commerce Association directly before?"

"Even the main headquarters of the Rare Treasures Commerce Association was robbed, wonder how their branches will fare?"
