Chapter 1034: One thousand and thirty-two, suffer in silence
The black-robed elder saw the cooperation of the crowd and smiled with satisfaction. His powerful Divine Sense spread out rapidly, scanning everyone’s storage rings. Whenever he discovered something valuable, he would unapologetically transfer it into his own ring.
Faced with the shameless actions of the black-robed elder, the people present could only swallow their anger. After all, this world was one where strength dictated everything. Since their strength was inferior to his, they had no choice but to endure silently.
The black-robed elder’s Divine Sense swept across everyone’s rings one by one, and soon reached Luo Shu and her companions. Seeing the contents of their rings, he sneered disdainfully. Loose cultivators were indeed just loose cultivators—there wasn’t a single decent treasure among them. However, their strength was quite impressive, which likely meant all their valuable resources had already been consumed in cultivation.
After scanning everyone’s storage rings thoroughly, the black-robed elder withdrew his Divine Sense with satisfaction. Although he hadn’t found Heavenly Water, the harvest this time was still decent.
Looking at the crowd, the black-robed elder said in a deep voice, "If anyone knows the whereabouts of Heavenly Water, inform me. If the information proves accurate, I’ll reward you." Heavenly Water was immensely beneficial for cultivation, and he was reluctant to give up so easily. However, he had already investigated the rings on the ship and found no traces of Heavenly Water. Even if someone possessed a Small World-type magical treasure, there should’ve been at least a faint aura left on them. Yet, he hadn’t sensed any such presence among the passengers. Could it be that the person who took Heavenly Water wasn’t actually on board the Immortal Ship?
The more the black-robed elder thought about it, the more plausible this seemed. Whoever outmaneuvered him must be at least as strong as him, possibly someone also drawn to this void to seek opportunities. For cultivators at the Divine King Realm, tearing through the interface to enter the void wasn’t too difficult.
Elder Li from Great Mahayana Island glanced at Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo, his lips moving slightly, yet he decided not to speak. He could use the black-robed elder’s hand to kill Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo, thus resolving his personal grievance. But doing so would also mean their secrets would fall into the elder’s possession. If the sect discovered his actions, there would undoubtedly be repercussions for him.
Glancing at the crowd once more, the black-robed elder handed a talisman to the steward nearby and said, "Notify me immediately if there’s any discovery."
"Understood!" The steward accepted the talisman and nodded in response.
The black-robed elder swept his gaze over the crowd one last time before leaping into the air and swiftly leaving the area protected by the ship’s Formation Prohibition.
