775: Chapter 229_4 775: Chapter 229_4 The fatty looked immediately towards the three women opposite when he heard the voice.
Even though he felt that the man before him was the leader of the group, he couldn’t be completely sure.
He still needed to gauge the attitudes of these three women.
Well, the woman with the best figure showed no reaction, clearly whatever this man said, that would be it.
However, the other two women both frowned slightly, seeming to dislike his joining.
But these two, despite their frowns, said nothing.
It was quite clear now; this group of four was under the man’s command.
The fatty immediately felt at ease, waved his hand, and a compass-like treasure appeared in his hand, at the center of which sat a black spoon made of an unknown material.
As mana surged through his body into the compass, patterns began to emerge upon it, and the spoon started spinning rapidly.
While channeling mana into the compass, the fatty spoke to Cao Zhen and the others, “Please wait a moment, divination takes time.
Oh yes, how may I address you all?”
They couldn’t possibly form an alliance without knowing each other’s names.
Cao Zhen nodded slightly and looked at the fatty, speaking softly, “Cao Zhen, and they are Li Ke, Ling Xi, and Yan Yourong.”
He used a pseudonym at first when they were outside.
But now, they were going to be together.
If they encountered a fight along the way, or even without a fight, and they all released their Golden Cores, especially him, with six different phenomena Golden Cores, and a Heretical Golden Core afterward, anyone who knew them would guess their identities with a single glance.
So there was no need to hide anymore.
“Cao Zhen?
Li Ke?
Ling Xi?
Yan Yourong?” The fatty’s face showed a pensive expression, muttering to himself in a low voice, “Why do these names sound so familiar?
You all….”
Suddenly, he had an epiphany.
“I know now!
Hundred Peaks Sect, you’re from the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty’s Hundred Peaks Sect!
Cao Zhen, you are the champion of the Town Immortal Imperial Dynasty’s Great Melee of Immortals!
I wondered where all these formidable people came from; it turns out to be you!”
Cao Zhen looked at the fatty, somewhat surprised, and curiously said, “I thought my name was quite well-known; I didn’t expect it to take you so long to remember who we are.
It seems our reputation isn’t that significant here in the South Ocean.”
“It’s not that it isn’t significant, it’s just really not well-known,” the fatty replied without thinking and then realized that what he said might have sounded disrespectful, he quickly clarified, “I don’t mean any disrespect; it’s just that people here in the South Ocean are quite unique.
They rarely interact with the outside world, so the Great Melee of Immortals of the Guardian Immortal Dynasty is of little interest here.
Not just the few of you, the experts from your place, people in the South Ocean are mostly unaware of them.”
Upon hearing this, Li Ke suddenly asked, “Unaware?
Then how do you know about it?”
The fatty didn’t hesitate and spoke the truth, “I’m different, of course; I’m not from here in the South Ocean.”
Cao Zhen was surprised, “You’re not from around here either?
Before, didn’t that purple snake say you were from Whale Fall Island?”
The fatty immediately laughed proudly, “That was just to fool that guy.
Who’s really from Whale Fall Island?
I’m just traveling around the South Ocean recently.
But I’ll be honest, if they thought I didn’t have any backing, even if they didn’t make a move then, what if they teamed up with others to deal with me after getting inside?
Of course, I had to deceive them.”
“Interesting,” Cao Zhen suddenly laughed and looked at the fatty, “After all this talk, you still haven’t told me your name.”
“Me?
Linghu Gudu.” As the fatty’s words fell, the spoon in the compass stopped spinning and pointed in a direction.
“Quick, let’s go this way.” Linghu Gudu whispered, already soaring ahead.
Cao Zhen glanced at Ling Xi and the three beside him and quickly followed, though he couldn’t help but inwardly scoff, Linghu Gudu, what a lofty name that sounded like, but the current fatty’s demeanor completely ruined it.
Of course, the fatty, as peculiar as he looked, could possibly have attained the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection; surely he wasn’t foolish, who knew whether the name he gave was real.
The five of them quickly flew away.
Meanwhile, the crowd that had been examining each skeletal frame and checking the Divine Weapons and treasures, let out a sigh of relief.
“They finally left.”
“Were you keeping an eye on them this whole time?
What are you afraid of?
Afraid they’ll come and compete with us for treasures?
Relax, they wouldn’t be interested in what we have here.
After searching for so long, we might end up not finding a single usable Treasure or Divine Weapon, at most, taking these broken things back to melt for some materials.”
“It’s not that I fear competition, but they’re too powerful; having them here just makes one uncomfortable.”
“Yes, those people are too strong.
I never imagined the existence of those at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection could be so formidable.
Among them, the one who seemed to be the leader has yet to make a move.
I cannot even imagine how powerful that person must be.”
“Speaking of which, that fatty revealed the strength of Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection before, and now, it seems he has teamed up with those four.”
“Five Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection experts, with four of them far surpassing the average level of such a title, their power should enable them to steamroll everything within this relic.”
