I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1493 - 1497: Rumors Are Easy to Spread

Dales couldn't get a good night's sleep. He was itching to head towards the cave, but he knew that treasure hunting couldn't be rushed and required thorough preparation.

Places like these are typically fraught with danger. If you rush in recklessly, it's not just about missing out on the treasures; you might even risk your life. You need the right strength and luck to seize the opportunity.

Dales immediately began gathering his team and making preparations. Before venturing in, he needed to scientifically assess just how dangerous the cave might be, requiring numerous instruments and observational data.

So, he scheduled his move for three days later!

"Sir Dales, we're in trouble!" But on the second day, Dales received some very bad news—information regarding the cave had already surfaced through every channel within the Golden God Seat!

News about the cave was even clearer than what he currently knew! The details could even be interpreted as a long novel.

The information stated that the "Wangzai Rock Cave" was left by an ancient predecessor named "Wangzai," whose realm was between Level Five and Level Six. He possessed a Stellar Level cultivation technique and owned a Stellar Level Divine Weapon.

Additionally, he was a distinguished Alchemist, and after millions of years of research, he invented an elixir called the Dao-breaking Elixir, which can increase the life levels of Level Five Life Forms by one notch!

This was nothing short of heaven-defying miracle!

Later, in a battle, Master Wangzai was gravely injured. To ensure his legacy wasn't lost, he left all his possessions in the cave and established three barriers, with treasures reserved only for those who pass these challenges.

Just last night, the entrance to Wangzai's cave was somehow activated, finally revealed to the world!

"Damn, how did this news spread so quickly?" Dales couldn't understand how the news appeared online so fast; he had intentionally kept it under wraps. His guards wouldn't betray his orders to leak the news, and even more impossible for others.

Moreover, he was sure he was the first to receive and react to the news, yet he had no clue about Master Wangzai. How did those spreading the news know?

"Reporting to Leader, we're still investigating, but the accounts posting the information released it simultaneously through all our Golden God Seat channels in each city. This is definitely organized and purposeful, not coincidental!"

"Someone's plotting against me?" Dales instinctively felt something was amiss, but the information contained was irresistibly enticing.

Stellar Level cultivation techniques and Divine Weapons—only their leader, Ze Ya, might possess such things. Nobody else could resist such temptation.

Crucially, there's an elixir that could elevate their life form's level cap from Level Four to Level Five—a temptation too great for Dales. If he acquired this elixir, he was confident he'd achieve a breakthrough within millions of years and become second only to Ze Ya!

His status would naturally soar!

Yet, even if the information is merely hearsay, who knows if it's true? Regardless, the adventure is imperative; missing out would surely bring regret!

"No time left, we're going today!" Dales declared. Otherwise, in three days, the fortress would be fully swarmed. Infiltrating the cave would mean facing the cave's three barriers and being wary of surprise attacks—a headache.

He was resolute but promptly received messages from other leaders.

"Dales, you've hidden this from us for quite awhile!" On screen was a burly Giant, nearly five meters tall, another leader of the Golden God Seat.

His name was Leon, and he shared a relatively good relationship with Dales.

"Such a fine place in your domain, and you didn't inform me. Planning to hoard the cave's treasures alone?" Leon jibed sarcastically.

"If I tell you I only learned about this place yesterday, would you believe it?" Dales said, helplessly.

"Do you take me for a fool?" Leon retorted. "The news has spread throughout Golden God Seat's territory, yet you, the local bigwig, wouldn't know? The saying goes, everyone who sees it has a share; you can't hog this for yourself within our realm!"

"Nonsense!" Dales cursed. "I haven't gotten anything, share what? I only sent people to investigate this place yesterday and haven't seen it myself. Who knew the news would spread so fast."

"Oh? You really just found out in your own territory?" Leon suddenly grinned. "I'll come over tomorrow. I'm sure the other guys got the news and will come. This matter is beyond your say. If you strike first, let's see how you explain yourself!"

"Damn it, are you threatening me?" If it was just Leon, Dales wouldn't care, as they had duelled multiple times with Dales undefeated.

But this time, it wasn't just Leon—it's all the leaders. If he acted first, troubles would arise one after another.

If they all explored together, then all rely on skill; everything's fair, and whoever gets the treasure will be acknowledged by all.

If he went alone, dissatisfaction was inevitable, labeled as opportunistic and lacking integrity.

"Fine, I'll wait for you all!" Dales conceded, deciding to yield after much deliberation, as facing immense pressure from many was daunting even for him.

From another perspective, if danger arose amid numerous people, it might just transfer onto others, possibly turning favorable for him!

Of course, if he didn't enter, no one else would get in early either!

Dales immediately ordered his guards to rigorously enforce surveillance over the cave area; if anyone dared to intrude, they'd be eliminated!

...

In the two days that followed, immense presences approached the fortress city, while Zhang Menglong infiltrated it with the help of spies left by the Sun Palace, observing the leaders' actions like a spectator sipping tea.

"Heh," Zhang Menglong smirked mysteriously. "Now, let's watch them dogfight."
