Chapter 1115: More Treasures?

Two middle-aged men in white robes landed.
Their movements were as swift as lightning, charging straight toward the Xiong father and son!
The father and son had just returned, laden with goods, and were still discussing in shock the gruesome scene of the demon corpses they had witnessed.
Suddenly!
Two figures flew toward them, their terrifying aura causing the father and son's eyes to tremble!
"Heaven-rank experts!?"

Seeing the two experts striking out with their palms,
Xiong Fen's expression changed drastically. He stepped in front of his son, extending his palms to block the attack!
But his speed was far too slow. Before his arms could fully extend, two powerful palm strikes had already landed on him, and a terrifying surge of Dao energy swept through!

After just one move,
Xiong Fen was sent flying back several meters, while Xiong Zhong, caught in the aftershock, was left with a flushed face!
The father and son exchanged silent, horrified glances.
"Son! Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, just a bit shaken. Dad, how about you!?"
"I'm okay. But these two are stronger than me, and their speed is incredible. Even with our three treasures, it'll be hard to fight back. We're in serious trouble..."
"Heaven-rank experts?!"

While the father and son were whispering in shock,
the two Heaven-rank experts also paused, their eyes narrowing as they glanced at the strange orange attire the pair wore. They exchanged a look, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
That palm strike had contained 90% of their power. Even a typical Heaven-rank first-tier expert would have been severely injured on the spot!
Yet the old man in front of them had taken two strikes head-on without any obvious injuries.
The clothes he wore must be Heaven-rank treasures!
At the very least...
they were third or fourth-tier!

The two middle-aged men's eyes flashed with realization, and they immediately understood the deeper meaning behind their young master's orders. They attacked with full force!
In an instant,
the valley was engulfed in a terrifying aura. The Xiong father and son were forced to retreat repeatedly, as surges of Dao energy caused glaciers to collapse like tidal waves!
Even with their treasures,
the absolute difference in cultivation and techniques left the father and son, who were still unstable in their foundations, only able to defend passively. They were in a sorry state.

But even in this one-sided battle, distant onlookers were filled with shock and suspicion.
"The treasures they possess might be even higher than third or fourth-tier Heaven-rank!"
"Indeed, to withstand multiple attacks from higher-tier experts without obvious injuries..."
"Still, fighting two opponents of a higher tier, they're clearly losing. I predict that old man will be captured within ten breaths!"
"Treasures belong to those who are worthy. Our young master has been blessed by the heavens. This trip has been fruitful!"
"Congratulations, young master!"

Whispers gradually turned into congratulations, and everyone on the flying ship bowed in respect.
The handsome young master sitting calmly on his jade chair showed a hint of pride, as if everything was only natural. It wasn't until the Xiong father and son were brought onto the ship that a glimmer of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

Within a few breaths,
the father and son were subdued, and several treasures were presented before the young master.
After examining them for a moment, the young master's satisfaction grew, and a smile finally appeared on his face.
"Not bad."
"With treasures like these, this trip has been worth it."

Xiong Fen, bound by magical ropes, was filled with indignation.
But feeling the terrifying auras around him, his cultivation seemed pitifully weak. Despite his overwhelming frustration, he could only grit his teeth and glare!
"Sir!"
"With so many powerful followers, you must be a figure of great standing. Isn't it beneath you to bully the weak and steal treasures? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

As soon as he finished speaking,
the young master on the jade chair gave a cold glance!
Instantly, the experts beside the father and son unleashed several waves of power, forcing them to kneel on the ground.
"Thud!"
A loud sound echoed through the ship as shockwaves rippled out!
Without their protective energy, the father and son's knees were severely injured, causing veins to bulge on their foreheads from the pain!

Xiong Zhong, filled with rage, was about to curse when someone searched him and took his storage ring, presenting it to the young master!
With a light tap of his finger, the young master erased the remaining spiritual imprint on the ring.
His overwhelming cultivation left everyone in awe!
After sensing the contents for a moment, the young master's slightly lowered eyes revealed a cold smile.
"There are quite a few demon corpses in here."
"This saves me a lot of trouble. The anomalies on the Waterfrost Star can now be attributed to my investigation. With this evidence, those old fools won't have anything to say."

First stealing treasures, then using the demon corpses from the storage ring!?
It sounded like he planned to use the demon corpses that rightfully belonged to the Xiong father and son to claim some kind of merit.
How shameless!

Hearing this, Xiong Fen couldn't help but curse!
"Despicable!"
"You have such a high status and powerful cultivation, yet you stoop to such lowly acts!"

As soon as the curses rang out, the experts around them subtly raised their hands, exuding killing intent!
The young master on the throne, however, remained calm, even smiling slightly as if he had heard something amusing.
"Despicable?"
"In this world, the strong rule. Since you were wandering the Waterfrost Star with these treasures, they naturally belong to me. This is the ultimate truth!"

The strong rule...?
Hearing this so-called "ultimate truth" that he had once believed in, Xiong Fen suddenly found it utterly laughable. It felt like the most hypocritical excuse in the world, and a sense of pride surged in his heart.
He threw his head back and laughed, his eyes filled with disdain!
"What a fine 'the strong rule,' hahaha!"
"True, you are stronger than us! But in our faction, people like you are nothing more than small fry!"

The bold laughter stunned everyone.
Xiong Zhong also snapped out of his daze, laughing and spitting out curses!
"A bunch of small fry!"
"You're only slightly stronger than us, yet you dare to act so arrogantly? You're nothing but frogs at the bottom of a well, unaware of the vast world beyond!"
"You may enjoy stealing treasures now, but you'll regret it in the future!"

Despite being in mortal danger, the father and son proudly raised their heads and cursed!
Their fearless demeanor
seemed genuine, not an act, causing the surrounding experts to hesitate, their faces filled with doubt.

Noticing the hesitation in his followers,
the young master's starry eyes flashed with a hint of hidden annoyance and disdain. It was as if, in his heart, these Heaven-rank experts were nothing more than useless trash, unworthy of his attention.
However, the unyielding expressions of the Xiong father and son piqued his interest.
He glanced down slightly, a mocking smile on his lips as he asked,
"How amusing."
"This is the first time I've heard someone dare to call me a 'frog at the bottom of a well' to my face. But if there really is a faction as you describe, how could someone like you possibly be part of it?"

His laughter was filled with confidence, and his calm, domineering gaze exuded absolute authority.
It was as if no faction in the world could surpass this young master, and no words could make him feel the slightest bit of fear.
The innate noble aura of a king was enough to make anyone tremble with respect.

Even Xiong Fen felt a hint of apprehension.
From his experience, this person must have an extraordinary background, likely from a domain-level or heavenly sect. In the past, he would never have dared to face such a figure directly!
But now, Xiong Fen felt an unshakable confidence!
He sneered and shouted through gritted teeth,
"You call yourself a young master? What a joke!"
"In our faction, we're just the lowest of the low. Bullying us is nothing to be proud of! If a few measly treasures are enough to make you lose your composure, then you're nothing special!"

The curses reverberated, and the surrounding experts' killing intent intensified!
But the young master remained calm, even curling the corners of his lips slightly.
"It seems you do have some courage."

Pondering Xiong Fen's words and seeing the father and son's proud expressions, the young master's smile deepened, as if he were looking at two ignorant children.
Only one phrase kept echoing in his mind: "a few measly treasures."
After a moment of consideration...
it seemed their faction might have even more treasures?
This was truly a stroke of luck.
