Chapter 320: The World’s No. 1 Spring, Chen Changsheng’s Wrath
After hearing Chen Changsheng’s analysis, Moon Shadow momentarily didn’t know what to say.
She once held the belief that top cultivators were unmatched because of their formidable strength.
But now it seemed that what top cultivators truly relied on was not their unparalleled strength but rather their strategic intelligence.
Thinking of this, Moon Shadow spoke again.
“Since we know Bai Ze’s purpose, how do we find out where Bai Ze has hidden the items?”
“We can’t possibly search every place Bai Ze has been, can we?”
“Of course not. Even if we surveyed every location Bai Ze visited, we might not find it.”
“Even Potato knows that when seeking external assistance, it’s best to choose someone who appears to have no close ties to oneself.”
“Given Bai Ze’s character, it will naturally think of this point.”
“Additionally, there’s a crucial condition: the external aid shouldn’t be able to take its own share of the goods.”
“Hua Duoduo is young and weak; in every aspect, she cannot compete with Potato.”
“It is precisely because of this that Potato chose her for the task.”
“By having Hua Duoduo as external aid, Potato doesn’t have to worry about her hoarding the snacks, and as long as they don’t fall out, she will continuously receive snacks.”
“I’m right, aren’t I, Potato?”
Upon hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, Hu Potato froze for a second, then cried even harder.
Moon Shadow: “……”
Can you stop teasing her? She’s already a grown person but still acts like a child.
After gently comforting Hu Potato, Moon Shadow asked, “So, where do you think Bai Ze would hide the items?”
“Here,” Chen Changsheng pointed to a specific area on the map, saying, “If Bai Ze has really hidden something, this is most likely the place.”
“Over the past few thousand years, Bai Ze seems to have roamed around the world, but upon closer observation, it has a purpose.”
“This area on the map has been traveled by Bai Ze multiple times, yet there is one continent it has never visited.”
“Interestingly, most of its routes pass along the borders of that continent.”
“Given this, it’s hard not to suspect that it has secretly been to that place.”
Upon hearing this, Moon Shadow also examined the routes on the map, then said.
“Besides the place you mentioned, Bai Ze has also crossed several inconspicuous continents.”
“Why don’t you suspect the other places?”
“Because the races inhabiting those places are not suitable.”
“The continents you mentioned are either the territories of the Beast Clan or the Divine Clan.”
“The attendees of the Qiongqi Tomb banquet are members of the Divine Clan and the Beast Clan; strictly speaking, those two clans won’t allow other races to participate.”
“If Bai Ze sought aid from the Beast Clan or the Divine Clan, they might turn against it and hand over the items.”
“This way, they too could get a piece of the action.”
“But the Human Clan is different; the Beast Clan and the Divine Clan dislike the Human Clan.”
“Even if the Human Clan tries to curry favor, the Beast Clan and Divine Clan wouldn’t agree to share this cake with them.”
“This means that if the Human Clan wants to explore the Qiongqi Tomb, they can only rely on Bai Ze.”
“Moreover, who would imagine that Bai Ze, being a beast, would seek out the Human Clan for assistance?”
After finishing, Chen Changsheng put away the map and said.
“We should set off quickly; although Bai Ze’s strategy seems clever, over time, it will still be uncovered.”
“The Divine Clan and the Beast Clan are not all fools; among them, there are still capable individuals.”
“We need to reach that location before Bai Ze gets captured and find the items it has hidden.”
With that, Chen Changsheng headed off into the distance, while Hu Potato sobbed and closely followed his footsteps.
At the same time, their conversation could be vaguely heard.
“Little Taoist, can you not punish Duoduo? This was my idea.”
“Oh dear!”

“You little fox are quite loyal, but it’s not happening.”
“As long as you participated in this matter, regardless of who the instigator is, punishment is necessary.”
“Based on the time estimate, Hu Duoduo is probably getting punished right now, and you won’t escape it when you return.”
“Hum!”
“You little b*stard, you’re so annoying; I’m not talking to you anymore.”
…
Daguizhou.
“Daguizhou?”
“Who came up with this name? It sounds so awkward.”
Looking at the map of Daguizhou, Chen Changsheng couldn’t help but complain.
Hearing this, Moon Shadow smiled and said, “It’s just a name; you don’t need to worry about it, Young Master.”
“Daguizhou isn’t small either. May I ask, Young Master, where shall we begin our investigation?”
Upon hearing Moon Shadow’s words, Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and replied, “Let’s start with the largest sect in Daguizhou.”
“Since it was Bai Ze who sought external aid, they can’t be too weak.”
“By the way, what is the name of the largest sect in Daguizhou?”
“The World’s No. 1 Spring.”
“The World’s No. 1 Spring?”
“How can there be a sect with such a name?”
Chen Changsheng muttered to himself for a few moments before leaving.
Upon arriving in Daguizhou, Chen Changsheng was pondering a particular question.
What kind of person would allow Bai Ze to trustingly hide items in this place?
All around were bustling individuals seeking profit. Under the drive of interests, it was natural to have many allies.
But these so-called allies were not as reliable as imagined.
Given Bai Ze’s suspicious character, it surely wouldn’t depend too much on these people.
Looking at the overall layout, Bai Ze seemed to have been linked to Daguizhou for a long time, which was indeed quite strange.
…
The World’s No. 1 Spring.
“Please inform that the Qingqiu Fox Clan from Western Central Hezhou has come to visit.”
Moon Shadow handed the invitation to a young disciple at the gate.
After receiving Moon Shadow’s invitation, the young disciple quickly ran back.
While waiting, Chen Changsheng observed the layout of this sect.
As the pillar of Daguizhou, the architectural grandeur of the “World’s No. 1 Spring” sect was truly splendid.
Especially the enormous statue standing in the center of the square, which was incredibly majestic.
However, interestingly, the face of this statue looked blank, lacking any specific features.
After staring at the statue for a long time, Chen Changsheng’s lips twitched involuntarily.
“Crack!”
He leisurely took down the plaque of “World’s No. 1 Spring,” then smiled as he crushed it into powder.
Next, Chen Changsheng walked to the plaza of the World’s No. 1 Spring and grabbed all the disciples who were meditating beneath the statue.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Without exception, every person received a punch on the head.
“Where are the leaders of the sect?!”
“Get out here!”
Chen Changsheng’s tone was calm, his face smiled, but his gaze was exceptionally fierce.
