Chapter 96 There is a traitor, the transaction cannot be stopped

A quarter of an hour later, Cao Ze found Ye Botao and others who were still searching for the exit like headless flies. At this time, some warriors in the Bone Tempering Realm had begun to blush and looked anxious.

After being in the water for such a long time, they couldn't breathe underwater like Cao Ze, and they had experienced several fierce battles, so the oxygen in their bodies had been almost consumed.

When they saw Cao Ze arriving in a black robe, Ye Botao and the others' faces turned serious.

They had seen the strength of the man in black. If he attacked them, they would be unable to fight back.

"I know where the exit is..."

Cao Ze spoke up.

When he went to explore the church area, he happened to encounter a rising undercurrent. If he walked into the center of the undercurrent, he would be washed to the surface of the sea.

Ye Botao and others were also bound by inertial thinking, believing that the exit was at the entrance, and did not even explore the back of the church area.

However, when he was about to tell the location of the exit, Cao Ze saw Tian Haiyi waving at him frantically.

Tian Haiyi secretly pointed in the direction of the church area, and then pointed at Ye Botao.

Cao Ze immediately understood what he meant. It was obvious that Ye Botao still had treasures taken from the church area.

Ye Botao did not see Tian Haiyi's little action, but only heard half of what Cao Ze said, and he immediately "understood" what Cao Ze meant.

"We found a piece of Golden Soul Divine Iron in the ruins, but it has been taken away by the Sea Wolf King."

"There is also a Blood Refining Realm technique that we are willing to share with you. Please tell us the exit location. We will be very grateful."

Blood Refining Realm Technique!
Cao Ze's eyes lit up. No wonder Tian Haiyi was giving him crazy hints.

"Give me the secret book first, and I'll give it back to you after I've read it."

Cao Ze said without allowing any discussion.

Ye Botao took out the secret book without hesitation and handed it to Cao Ze.

The man in black was fully capable of killing people and stealing treasures, but the other party did not do so and naturally would not deceive them, so he naturally did not need to hesitate.

Cao Ze subconsciously glanced at Tian Haiyi again and found that he was still waving his hands.

I couldn't help laughing in my heart, so I continued to keep silent.

"The secret book has been given to you. Please tell me the exit location as promised!"

Ye Botao became anxious because of Cao Ze's silence.

He could still hold on for a while, but the Bone Tempering Realm warriors behind him could not, they could not afford to wait.

"This huge ruins only has this little stuff?"

Cao Ze's hoarse voice came from under the cloak, and it actually had a bit of a villain's tone.

"Someone has been to this ruins before, and the treasures inside have long been taken away. We are extremely lucky to have gained something."

Ye Botao had a bitter face.

He was really about to cry. During this trip to the ruins, not only did he lose a precious talisman, he was also seriously injured and lost a lot of manpower. In the end, all the treasures were lost to others.

I must have not checked the almanac before going out to sea this time!

Cao Ze found it a little funny that Ye Botao was actually trying to play tricks on him, not knowing that there was a traitor in his own team.

"Don't accuse me of bullying you. The reason you can search for treasures in the cathedral district with peace of mind is because I blocked the six-eyed flying fish that was guarding the cathedral district for you."

"So I should have a share of the treasures inside."

Ye Botao was stunned when he heard this, and seemed to be at a loss. No wonder such a large church area was so unusually quiet.

Judging from the behavior of the man in black, he was certain that they still had treasures on them. In that case, he no longer concealed it. He and the other two warriors in the Refining Organ Realm looked at each other, and took out all the Sea Heart Lotus Seeds that were to be divided among them. There were no less than a hundred of them.

Cao Ze took the sea heart lotus seed and looked at Tian Haiyi again. After seeing Tian Haiyi nod, he looked at the sea heart lotus in his hand, put half of it into the storage belt, and returned the other half to Ye Botao.

"The exit is just behind the church area. There is an undercurrent there. If you enter the undercurrent, you can go directly to the sea surface."

After saying this, Cao Ze did not waste any time and quickly rushed towards the church area. He wanted to transform back into the Bone Tempering Realm Cao Ze before Ye Botao and the others arrived at the church area.

When Ye Botao and his group passed by the church area, they actually saw the idiot who had left the team halfway wandering around the church area.

"Cao Ze, what are you doing here?"

Ye Botao was so angry that he questioned.

"Treasure hunt!"

Cao Ze looked at Ye Botao with a confused look in his eyes, "Why are you coming from that direction?"

Ye Botao was somewhat defeated by the little look that revealed such clear stupidity, and suddenly he smiled with relief.

This kid is really lucky. If he had not left the team early, with his strength, he would probably have died in the next two battles.

"Okay, follow me and find the exit!"

Ye Botao was too bored to say anything more to the boy. After he finished speaking, he headed towards the location given by the man in black.

……

The ruins sea.

The clouds had disappeared long ago, the leaden clouds that covered the sky and the sun had also dispersed for a long time, and the gate on the sea had also disappeared, leaving only dozens of ships still staying nearby.

But at this moment, the atmosphere around was eerily quiet.

There were several uninvited guests on the bows of the flagships. On the flagship of the Dragon Temple stood an old man in a golden flying dragon robe. He had his hands behind his back, looking at the woman in white in the direction of the four major families.

"This woman has become stronger again. She is indeed a genius rarely seen in Cape City in hundreds of years!"

The old man had a gloomy look on his face. It could be predicted that this woman would become a serious problem in the future.

It's a pity that I came too hastily this time and didn't have time to make arrangements. Otherwise, maybe I could try again to keep this woman in the East China Sea forever.

In the direction of the Pirate Alliance, there was also a middle-aged man standing at the bow, but he held his breath, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible, making himself a little transparent, not wanting to attract the attention of the Dragon Temple and the four major families.

The omen from heaven was so terrifying that it naturally attracted the attention of three forces, and they all sent their masters to come in person.

Unfortunately, the entrance to the ruins had been closed when they arrived, so they could only wait here.

Time passes minute by minute.

The chief priest of the Dragon God Temple was not panicked at all, for he knew that the guardians who entered the ruins this time were accompanied by the Blood Demon Guards who had reached the great perfection of the Zunlian Zang realm. He was confident that he could sweep the ruins.

Yue Lingke was equally calm. Ye Botao was carrying a talisman at the great stage of organ refining. Even if he couldn't sweep through the ruins, he would at least be no weaker than the Dragon Temple and the Pirate Alliance.

The middle-aged man from the Pirate Alliance was very excited. He knew that the Sea Wolf King had made a breakthrough to the minor success of organ refining, and was stronger than the warriors from the four major families and Dragon Temple that entered the ruins this time. He thought, he should be able to gain something!
After several hours, there was no movement in the ruins until it was almost dark, when several heads suddenly appeared on the sea.

After coming out of the sea, these people jumped out of the water and breathed in big gulps of fresh air.

They are from the four major families!

The chief priest of the Dragon God Temple looked gloomy and raised his eyes.

But soon, a smile appeared on his face again.

Seeing Ye Botao's broken arms, he was very familiar with the wounds. They must have been caused by the Blood Devil Trident!
Looking at the people behind Ye Botao, they were all dejected, dusty and in a miserable state, and clearly did not look like they had obtained a treasure.

However, they were able to escape from the hands of the Blood Demon Guards who had achieved great success in refining their internal organs, which was considered a bit of skill and luck.

The old man was in a good mood and was already looking forward to what kind of surprises the guardians would bring him.

At this moment, the middle-aged pirate master arrived on the flagship of the Dragon Temple.

"Brother Qiu, are we just going to let them go like this?" Looking at the fleets of the four major forces that had already evacuated one after another, the middle-aged man asked, "Why don't we join forces and keep them?"

Although the people from the four major families seemed to have suffered heavy losses in the ruins, who knows whether they actually gained anything?
Qiu Tianxi glanced at the four major fleets indifferently, then shook his head and said nothing more.

The people from the four major families were willing to leave, presumably because they had gained something from the ruins, but he had confidence in the Blood Demon Guards.

The treasures in the ruins must have fallen into the hands of our own people. In this case, there is no need to lose sight of the important things.

Since he has already secured victory, there is no need for him to add unnecessary troubles. He might leave Yue Lingke behind and wait for the guardians to retrieve the treasure. By then, this guy will definitely join forces with Yue Lingke. Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?
He wouldn't be so stupid!

On the contrary, if this guy was the only one here, he could easily control him, so now he hopes that the four families will leave quickly more than the people from the four families.

Zhan Dakai's heart sank; Qiu Tianxi's reaction was too abnormal.

He subconsciously wanted to find Yue Lingke to form an alliance, but found that the fleets of the four major families had already gone several miles away, and it was obvious that they had decided to leave.

On board Qianshan.

This was the first time Cao Ze saw Yue Lingke since their last separation.

With his sea-viewing vision opened, Cao Ze could feel that the opponent's power was much stronger than last time.

Is this true genius!
Yue Lingke seemed to sense something and looked towards Cao Ze. After nodding slightly, he retracted his gaze and continued to listen to Ye Botao talk about what happened in the ruins.

However, this nod startled everyone on the Qianshan.

Yue Lingke did not hide anything, so naturally everyone saw the scene of Yue Lingke greeting Cao Ze.

This made them think more.

Originally, they thought that Cao Ze was using Hong Xing's connections, and they never thought that Hong Xing was working for Yue Lingke.

It was not until now that they realized that they seemed to be wrong. The captain of the Whaler was actually related to Yue Lingke!
Everyone looked at Cao Ze with a different look. Even Ye Botao felt a little jealous. Why? Why did this kid do that?
If it was because of Hong Xing's relationship, they would only think that Cao Ze was a loser who relied on his connections and women.

But if the person behind him is Yue Lingke, these people would even consider making friends with Cao Ze.

"Man in black?"

Yue Lingke murmured to herself. After listening to Ye Botao's story, she also fell into deep thought.

……

The ruins sea.

An hour had passed since the people from the four families came out.

Qiu Tianxi finally frowned.

Logically speaking, even if their people wanted to take some valuable treasure, it wouldn't take so long.

But he was not in a hurry, as he had confidence in the Blood Demon Guard.

It is naturally not easy to obtain treasures from ruins that can cause such a great omen, so it is normal to spend more time.

Zhan Da Kui had already made the worst plan, but he did not leave. It would be too funny if their people really came out and were blocked by the people from the Dragon God Temple.

Even if their people couldn't get out, he wanted to see what the people from the Dragon Temple had obtained in the ruins.

Another hour passed, the sky had become completely dark, the lights of the ships were reflected on the sea, but there was still no movement.

Even someone as confident as Qiu Tianxi had to start to waver, "Could it be that something unexpected happened in the ruins?"

He now really wanted to catch up with the fleets of the four major families and get to the bottom of things.

But the other party had already walked for two hours. Even if he was a master, it would be difficult for him to find the other party's trace in the vast ocean.

Moreover, he was unwilling to accept and believe it.

How could such a huge Blood Demon Guard who had achieved great success in refining his internal organs not be able to come out?
This wait lasted the entire night.

When the sky in the east turned pale and the sea remained calm, Qiu Tianxi finally gave up all his fantasies.

But he was still unwilling to give up, so he jumped into the sea with a splash, ready to find out what was going on at the bottom of the sea.

Just at this moment, something floated up on the sea surface which had been motionless.

Shu brocade robe, embroidered with a blue flying dragon!

He is the guardian of the Dragon Temple!

Qiu Tianxi was overjoyed.

Good things are worth waiting for, and these protectors are finally back!
But soon, he discovered something was wrong.

After these people surfaced, they just lay there silently, and there was a smell of blood.

And it wasn't just the people from the Dragon Temple. Soon, the headless corpse of the Sea Wolf King also floated up.

The two masters came to the corpse and looked at the clean wounds on the corpse. Their pupils shrank slightly, "Knife power!"

When they reach this level, they can naturally see the cause of these people's deaths at a glance.

But among the four major teams, there are only a few young guys who have just started to learn how to refine the internal organs. How can they possibly comprehend the momentum?
Could it be a trap in the ruins?
Qiu Tianxi was puzzled. He couldn't understand why the people from the four families were able to come out alive?

He suddenly began to regret a little. If he had joined forces with Zhan Dakai yesterday, perhaps he could have gotten a piece of the pie from those guys from the four major families.

But now, it's too late.

Zhan Da Kui just glanced at the body of the Sea Wolf King, sneered, turned back to the flagship of the Pirate Alliance, and began to evacuate.

It’s just that I don’t know whether this sneer was directed at the Sea Wolf King or Qiu Tianxi.

……

The Whaler, captain's cabin.

"My husband, it seems that the Grand Master thinks highly of you!"

After some daily exercise, Su Xiaozhi lay in Cao Ze's arms. As soon as she spoke, a sour taste came out of the captain's room.

Cao Ze heard the jealousy in the words and laughed, "He's a master, what are you thinking about?"

"So what, Grandmaster?"

Su Xiaozhi didn't care, "Brother Ze is so outstanding, it's no surprise that he attracted a master!"

"Besides, Brother Ze will become a master sooner or later!"

"You really think highly of me." Cao Ze rubbed Su Xiaozhi's head, his heart full of pity.

Then he took out the half of the dragon tendon from his storage belt, "This is the dragon tendon..."

Cao Ze told Su Xiaozhi about the benefits of dragon tendons, then said with a smile, "Maybe one day you can become a master!"

"really?"

Su Xiaozhi's eyes lit up, "Will I be able to beat Brother Ze by then?"

"That's a long way to go!"

Cao Ze smiled slightly, full of confidence.

"I will work hard!"

Su Xiaozhi said this with a firm look in her eyes, then she stood up, put on her clothes, took some dragon tendons, and began to practice the Fish Dragon Body Tempering Technique in the captain's room.
