Chapter 863 Digging up the treasures
Chapter 863 Digging up the treasures
The power of the Star Tower was fortune telling, but it wasn't as if the only thing that fortune telling could do was look into the future.
There were other things that Wang Fu's group could do with their divination.
Such as finding things that were valuable.
Lin Fan and the Love Sect didn't have time to waste searching for the treasures of the Scarlet Sun Sect. Even if the sect master and ancestor were to tell them where the treasures were, there was no confirming that they would be telling the entire truth.
After all, they would want to hide some treasures for themselves if they were able to escape their predicament.
They just didn't have time to force it out of them.
As such, it was much easier to use the ability that Wang Fu's group possessed.
Wang Fu and his group just ignored all of the members of the Scarlet Sun Sect who looked at them with confused looks.
The ancestor and the sect master of the Scarlet Sun Sect were the ones that reacted the most to them. They had been close enough to hear what the Star Tower group had said and they could guess what they were planning to do based on the astrolabes that they pulled out.
But they didn't believe that anyone would be able to find their hiding place.
They had put a lot of effort into hiding their treasures after all, so it wasn't something that would be found that easily.
Only as they watched Wang Fu's group move around the Scarlet Sun Sect, the ancestor and the sect master couldn't help knitting their brows seeing the way that Wang Fu moved.
At first, it didn't seem like they had any idea of where their hidden treasures were.
Then as they moved around, it seemed like they were getting closer and closer to it.
Eventually, they were standing in the area where it was buried.
In fact, they were standing right atop of it and were looking down at their astrolabe.
With the focused looks that were on their faces, it really seemed like they had found something already.
Seeing this, the ancestor and the sect master couldn't help feeling worried.
The hidden treasures were one of the few cards that they had left and it wasn't something that could be given up that easily. Whether it was to be used as a bargaining chip for their lives or if it was used to help them escape this predicament and start a new life.
They couldn't just let the other side take it for nothing.
So after agonizing for a bit, the ancestor of the Scarlet Sun Sect said, "I'll tell you where it's hidden as long as you let me join you! I'll give you everything that you want, as long as you spare my life!"
The sect master knew that this was the end of the road, so he also said, "No, spare me! I'll be your dog, I'll be whatever you want as long as you spare my life!"
The two of them seemed like they wanted to fight each other, but they also knew that there were better things to do than fighting each other. Fighting each other at this time was nothing more than a waste of time for them, so they couldn't do that.
It created a perfect sized hole right in front of Lin Fan.
That was only the top of the hole, the bottom of the hole was still opening up for him.
The hole continued to open until the treasures that were below were revealed.
It was a sudden burst of spiritual energy that came out of the hole that told them that they had reached the treasures. The spiritual energy wasn't strong enough that it made them excited, but it wasn't as if they were going to complain about free treasures.
Treasures were treasures, they would have a use for them.
It wasn't as if anyone would turn down something that was free.
Once the treasures had been revealed, Lin Fan just calmly said to Senior Brother Ying, "You can collect them and bring them back to the Love Sect later."
Then turning back to Wang Fu, he was about to say something, but Wang Fu cut him off.
"There's no need, we're just here to observe." Wang Fu said with a smile on his face.
Though he said this, the others seemed like they didn't think the same.
Mei Yu had even come forward to take a look at the treasures that were in the hole.
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at Wang Fu as if he was trying to figure out what Wang Fu was planning, but Wang Fu just looked at him with the same smile on his face. The way that he just looked forward without caring about the reaction of the others from his group was as if he didn't notice them at all.
Lin Fan didn't say anything as he looked at the others, but even though they didn't seem like they were happy with this, they didn't say anything to go against Wang Fu.
It seemed that he was indeed the leader of their group that they listened to him even if they didn't agree with him.
While Lin Fan had no idea what Wang Fu was planning, he didn't question it too much since there was nothing to gain from questioning it too much.
All he did was give a simple nod in response before turning his head once more.
The Star Tower group looked disappointed when they saw this.
Even if they couldn't speak up against Wang Fu, that didn't mean that Lin Fan couldn't say anything on their behalf. They had been hoping that he would insist on making Wang Fu give up this idea, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Instead, Lin Fan turned his attention back to the ancestor and the sect master of the Scarlet Sun Sect.
He finally turned his attention to them, but they didn't enjoy this attention.
After all, their treasures had been found and it would be hard for them to bargain.
So instead, the ancestor suddenly said, "Just what are you planning to do with us?"
Lin Fan calmly looked at him to say, "Well, we're going to kill you."
