Chapter 5322 Seizing the Treasury

The Soaring Dragon Company wasn’t far from the Huayun Trading Company, but its extravagant buildings made it stand out. However, despite their flashiness, they lacked the refined dignity of the Huayun Trading Company, resembling the gaudy wealth of a villager who had suddenly become rich.

The moment Long Chen arrived, dozens of barely dressed women sauntered over, swaying their hips.

Is this the Soaring Dragon Company? Or did I walk into the wrong place? Long Chen’s first thought was that he had accidentally wandered into a brothel.

After this “warm welcome”, Long Chen didn't waste time and took out the token he had. Someone immediately rushed to report his arrival.

While waiting in the lounge, Long Chen couldn’t help but notice how lavish it was. The floor was covered in the fur of six-vein Emperor demonic beasts. He didn’t know what kind of demonic beast it was, but its fur was incredibly soft, giving a comfortable feeling when walking across it.

The chairs in the lounge were made of dragon bone, glossy and white like jade. Moreover, they were embedded with various kinds of rare immortal metals and gemstones, which carried various kinds of energies. Just looking at them gave people the urge to pull them out for themselves.

Before long, the greedy elder arrived and greeted Long Chen warmly, “Young friend, you came quickly! Apologies for keeping you waiting, I had some other matters to attend to.”

“You’re too courteous. Let’s get right to business. I have some stock for you to evaluate,” Long Chen replied, pulling out a case and opening it just enough to reveal a row of golden medicinal pills.

When the elder saw the row of peerless-grade golden pills, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He hastily said, “Young friend, quick, put that away! This isn’t the right place to discuss such matters. Let’s switch locations.”

“Alright.” Long Chen nodded and followed the elder. But as they left the main path, Long Chen sensed something was off. The outer area had been filled with beautiful women fawning over the guests, yet now, the halls were lined with large, muscular men hiding in the shadows.

Although they were hidden in the darkness, could they really escape Long Chen’s senses? Internally, he sneered at the Soaring Dragon Company’s blatant treachery, but his expression remained calm. Their service was as first class as ever.

After passing through a few more rooms, they arrived at an iron gate. The elder smiled and said, “This is the Soaring Dragon Company’s top-secret treasury. We also use it to treat our most important guests.”

Long Chen held back another sneer. The “treasury” had the unmistakable atmosphere of a prison. Once someone entered, they likely never left. As the iron gate slowly rose, Long Chen saw that the inside was as luxurious as before. However, the smell of blood was unconcealable.

Long Chen instantly knew what was going to happen when he smelled the slight trace of blood, but he still walked in behind the elder without hesitation.

As soon as they stepped through, the iron gate slammed shut behind them, closing instantly, unlike the slow opening. The moment the gate closed, the elder’s smile vanished, replaced with an icy ferociousness.

Before the elder could give any orders, Long Chen slapped him across the face, instantly shattering half of it.

Shocked, the elder furiously shouted, “Attack!”

From hidden spots in the walls, numerous figures emerged—powerful Human Emperors with sharp, lethal auras. They were clearly trained fighters, unlike the elder.

However, they were still nothing in front of Long Chen. With a wave of his hand, lightning surged out, obliterating over ten Human Emperors before they could even approach him.

“As a businessman, shouldn’t recognizing the value of people and things be your forte? Sending this kind of trash against me... sigh, are you looking down on me?” Long Chen sneered, turning back to the elder.

The elder’s face was bleeding badly, but he didn’t care about any of that. Staring in shock, he shouted, “Who are you?!”

“I’ve told you. I’m here to do business,” Long Chen answered, shrugging.

In a desperate attempt, the elder slammed his hand toward a button on the wall, but before he could reach it, his arm was torn off. Blood soaked his robes.

“AH!” the elder screamed.

This elder might have a powerful cultivation base, but it had no actual power behind it. It was clearly the result of external help. In actual combat, he was weaker than an average Heaven Saint. Let alone Long Chen, even Qing Xi could easily crush him. The reason he could sit in his position was all thanks to his sinister scheming.

After grabbing the elder’s throat like hoisting a chicken, Long Chen coldly asked, “How do you want to die?”

“No, don’t kill me! I can give you anything you want!” cried out the elder.

“You’ll agree to anything I say? Hehehe...” Long Chen’s gaze instantly turned sinister, and his Spiritual Strength locked onto the elder. Under this pressure, it was impossible for the elder to lie.

...

BOOM!

The elder exploded moments later. From what Long Chen had extracted, the Soaring Dragon Company mostly dealt with major sects. If a person with no background came to trade and had valuable enough treasures, they would simply be consumed. Just before Long Chen arrived, this elder had murdered an adventurer and stolen their hard-earned treasures.

Furthermore, the elder didn’t lie about where they were. It truly was the Soaring Dragon Company’s treasury, albeit only the outer part.

Long Chen pressed a button on the wall, and the iron gate slowly rose again. He took out a handkerchief, wiping the blood off his hands as he calmly walked out.

“Senior, are you ready?” asked Long Chen to the Earth Cauldron.

“You’re really going to rob them again? Isn’t this shameless?” the Earth Cauldron replied, sounding exasperated.

“What are you talking about? When you looted the Wang family’s medicinal field, you didn’t say anything like that,” pointed Long Chen.

“Fine, pretend I didn’t say anything!”

BOOM!

The entire Soaring Dragon Company exploded as the Earth Cauldron dug out an enormous square iron treasury from underground.

“Get in here!” Long Chen said, feeling delighted.

After he formed a series of quick hand seals, a whirlpool appeared behind him, and he directly stuffed the treasury into the primal chaos space.

Just as Long Chen completed this, countless waves of divine sense scanned him, and the weakest of them belonged to a seven-vein Human Emperor. Under their terrifying pressure, Long Chen’s soul quivered.

“Brat, you’re courting death!” Experts roared in fury as they charged toward him from all directions.

“Bye!” Long Chen chuckled. The Earth Cauldron quivered above his head, and the two of them instantly vanished.
