"Given the current situation, the Wang faction is keeping a very tight grip. Although they don't dare to openly create obstacles, their underhanded actions have never stopped."
"It's just that they really don't dare to attack us, and that's all thanks to you."
Zheng Xin looked at Qian Er with a smile. After all, even if Wang Xiaobao had ten times the guts, he wouldn't dare to touch Qian Er's people.
Motive is a very important thing. The reason Wang Xiaobao is now acting so frequently, wanting to eliminate the Ning faction completely, is to ensure that their Wang faction doesn't plant the seeds of future trouble.
If they were to extend the war to Zheng Xin and Yong Xuehai, it would go against the Wang faction's original intention.
"Teacher, are you really planning to stand with the Ning faction now?"
Qian Er asked curiously, having learned a little bit about things these past few days.
The two exchanged a glance, and Yong Xuehai smiled, lowering his voice.
"Lao Hai and Lao Liu are too foolish, really too foolish. In terms of scheming, they'd have to outwit your Teacher Zheng to even count."
Seeing their smiles, Qian Er instantly understood most of it.
However, he didn't show anything on his face.
"Being here now is to trick some resources and capital out of the Ning faction."
Zheng Xin looked around, a profound smile on his face.
"In the Ning faction, I rely entirely on Old Master Ning. Now that Old Master Ning is gone, the Ning faction is no longer the Ning faction."
"Lao Hai and Lao Liu think they can fool me, but it's just exploitation. Since they're doing this, I naturally have no reason to be modest."
Modesty is a bad habit for a Dark-type Beast Master!
Zheng Xin and Yong Xuehai revealed somewhat sinister smiles, their eyes filled with greed.
"Such a good opportunity. Since they're willing to coax us, we'll play along for now, grabbing as much as we can. As for the Ning faction's demise? That's their own fault."
Qian Er nodded. He thought, these two aren't pushovers. How could Lao Hai and Lao Liu possibly make these two submit with their abilities?
"By the way, Qian Er, what brings you here this time?"
Zheng Xin seemed to suddenly remember something, looking at Qian Er with some curiosity.
Qian Er then recounted the matter of the Earth Treasure in detail.
"Earth Treasure? I really don't have any impression of it."
"Not only do I have no impression, but I've searched the database, and none of the existing texts mention such a thing."
Qian Er shook his head: "It's impossible for the Imperial Academy's records to have it either. I'm just here to tell you to keep an eye out for me on weekdays."
"No information in any records…"
Yong Xuehai and Zheng Xin exchanged glances.
"Is there a possibility that no race has ever discovered this thing before?"
"If that's the case, how did those alien races know about it? They were obviously searching with a purpose all along."
After hesitating for a while, there were still no answers.
In the end, the two could only tell Qian Er that they would keep an eye out in their daily lives, but the probability of finding it was probably very small, and he shouldn't have too much hope.
Actually, that was enough. Qian Er didn't expect them to find it immediately anyway.
Qian Er left the capital just like that.
After he left, the Emperor immediately used all of his means to collect information for Qian Er, even reaching out to foreign countries to start searching.
Including Yong Xuehai and Zheng Xin, who also used all of their connections.
…
Qian Er returned to New City in the blink of an eye, shook his head, and changed his approach.
Since he couldn't find the Earth Treasure for the time being, why not directly find the hiding places of those alien races?
He didn't know on his side, but they definitely knew. Maybe he could directly snatch the Earth Treasure's bead and then interrogate them to understand everything.
It's just that the bead would be shielded. He didn't know if those surviving alien races would also be shielded.
Without further ado, Qian Er immediately summoned the Myriad Transformation Demon and began to locate those fleeing alien races.
…
Deep Sea.
Glug, glug, glug.
Not all of these alien races can swim, especially the Fire-type, Ground-type, and Sky-type. Making them dive to the bottom of the sea is really too uncomfortable.
"No, I'm going up. I can't stay down here at all!"
A Fissure Spotted Hound complained. Being naturally shaggy, it felt its movements were slowed down by more than one level in the water.
Annoying!
"Alright, hurry up and go get some air. Just come back quickly after you get it!"
A Water Trumpet Rabbit looked at it with some impatience.
"No, what I mean is, I want to go ashore. I don't want to stay in this damn place anymore!"
"I can't stand this broken place for even a day!"
The Fissure Spotted Hound's voice was a little loud, extremely muffled underwater, attracting a lot of attention.
"Sure, if you want to go out, go ahead. Anyway, Qian Er is looking for us right now. If you're not afraid of death, go out."
The Water Trumpet Rabbit snorted coldly. In the water, it could be said to have absolute authority. Even the Soul Devourer had to submit.
"Do you really think your life is that great? The first escape was a fluke. For the second time, to be able to slip away from Qian Er, our ancestors' graves must be smoking!"
"What's your strength, and what's Qian Er's strength? Don't you have any idea? If you want to go out and die, no one will stop you, just don't expose us."
The Fissure Spotted Hound calmed down a lot and sighed.
"Forget it, I'll go get some air and come back after I get it."
"Ah, I don't know when these days will end…"
Everyone fell silent, obviously not having a good time hiding at the bottom of the sea these days.
After all, apart from Water-type races, no one can adapt to the underwater environment.
Always thinking that the hard days would pass, the current crowd was even more miserable than they were on the other side of the world.
"It's okay, just persevere through these days a little longer. It's almost over."
Sequence Twenty nodded, but his expression didn't change at all.
He really couldn't smile.
"We should try to hold out as long as possible and not go out for air. It's very dangerous, and we might be discovered when we go up for air."
"Yes, let's try to hold our breath longer."
"That thing, is it being kept safe? We must not let it fall into Qian Er's hands. That's our last hope!"
"No, it's here."
This alien race showed off a glittering bead, which was the Earth Treasure.
Seeing the luster of this bead, all the exhaustion on everyone's faces was instantly swept away.
Their expressions became incomparably fanatical, and their eyes were filled with madness and desire as they looked at the bead.
"Qian Er will lose! We will definitely take revenge!"
