Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan! Chapter 752 Ma Qianxiu's Golden Finger

Bai Zihan had not poisoned the food and wine this time.

He still had uses for both Ma Lingfeng and Ma Qianxiu.

Ma Qianxiu is going to lead the way to the inheritance of the True God's Legacy.

As for Ma Lingfeng, he could still provide useful information about Ma Qianxiu.

Therefore, there was no reason to get rid of either of them yet.

After the meal, they were given the best guest rooms in the Bai Clan Estate.

After entering his room, Ma Qianxiu couldn't help looking around.

"This room is quite good."

Compared to the room he had been given in the Ma Clan and the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, it was much better.

Ma Qianxiu couldn't help sighing inwardly.

At least the Bai Clan treats its guests well.

Though he didn't like how Bai Zihan was flattering Ma Lingfeng and believing his nonsense story, Bai Zihan still hadn't mistreated him even after listening to that trash.

He soon stopped thinking about such matters.

He sat down and began cultivating.

He doesn't receive much resources from the Ma Clan.

Since he doesn't have enough resources, he could only work harder to become more powerful.

And one day, he could truly become someone even the Ma Clan couldn't touch.

Several hours passed.

Ma Qianxiu slowly opened his eyes.

After finishing his cultivation, he relaxed a bit.

Then he closed his eyes again.

His consciousness entered his mind.

A strange golden map floated quietly in the depths of his consciousness.

Ma Qianxiu stared at it.

"The inheritance must be close. But there is still some time before it opens."

He carefully examined the map again.

"At most three days."

"Three days. After that, the path to the inheritance should reveal itself."

Ma Qianxiu's breathing became slightly heavier.

He had obtained this strange treasure by accident several months ago.

At that time, he had entered a mountain forest to train himself.

Because he didn't receive many resources from the Ma Clan, he often had to venture into the wilderness to search for spiritual herbs and other useful resources.

He could sell some of the herbs he found for money to support himself.

However, that day, while searching through the mountain forest, he suddenly encountered a powerful Demonic Beast.

The moment he sensed its aura—

Ma Qianxiu immediately knew that he couldn't fight it.

He turned around and fled without hesitation.

The Demonic Beast chased him for a long distance.

Fortunately, Ma Qianxiu eventually discovered a hidden cave and quickly rushed inside.

He concealed his aura and hid deep within the cave.

Only after confirming that the Demonic Beast had left did he finally relax.

It was inside that cave that he discovered the strange treasure.

The moment he touched it, the treasure suddenly transformed into a golden light and entered directly into his consciousness.

He was completely stunned.

No matter how much he investigated it afterward, he couldn't figure out its origins or purpose.

However, the strange golden map had remained inside his consciousness ever since.

At that time, he had no idea what it was.

No matter how much he investigated it, he couldn't figure it out. He only knew that it seemed to be quite ancient.

Then he heard about the True God's Legacy and thought about the possibility.

Whether the treasure he got had anything to do with the True God's Legacy or not, he wasn't certain, but he was sure that whatever the treasure was related to, it was in the Desolate Heaven Empire.

The closer he got to this place, the stronger the reaction became.

Anyway, the treasure in the map must be nearby.

"Coming here was the correct choice!"

A faint smile appeared on Ma Qianxiu's face.

Just three more days...

***

"Brother Ma."

Bai Zihan smiled and greeted Ma Lingfeng.

Ma Qianxiu immediately smiled and returned the greeting.

"Brother Bai."

His attitude was much warmer than before.

Ma Lingfeng was someone who appreciated those who knew how to flatter him.

And after spending some time in the Bai Clan—

He had to admit that Bai Zihan had treated him extremely well.

Naturally, his impression of Bai Zihan had improved considerably.

"Breakfast is ready."

Bai Zihan smiled.

"Let's go!"

They headed toward the dining hall.

After arriving, they sat down and began eating.

The breakfast prepared by the Bai Clan was naturally exquisite.

Ma Lingfeng enjoyed it quite a bit. That also included his other lackeys.

Ma Qianxiu still didn't touch a single thing.

After the meal, Ma Lingfeng suddenly became unusually serious.

He put down his cup and looked toward Bai Zihan.

"Brother Bai!"

His expression was solemn.

"There is something I need to tell you."

Bai Zihan looked at him.

"Oh?"

He calmly listened.

Ma Lingfeng took a deep breath.

"Brother Bai, your clan should have quite a lot of influence in the Desolate Heaven Empire, right?"

Bai Zihan smiled confidently.

"Influence?"

He casually leaned back.

"If the Bai Clan says it is second, then no one in the entire Eastern Region would dare claim to be first."

The moment those words were spoken—

The expressions of the people around the table became somewhat strange, including Ma Qianxiu.

They couldn't help feeling that Bai Zihan was bragging a little too much.

After all, saying that no one in the entire Eastern Region could surpass the Bai Clan was quite an outrageous claim.

That would also include the Emperor's forces. How could Bai Zihan claim to be number one when there was still the Imperial Family of the Desolate Heaven Empire?

Yet no one said anything.

After all, bragging and such things were done by everyone, including themselves.

Though, if they knew the truth, they would know that Bai Zihan wasn't exaggerating at all.

In fact, he was being quite modest.

But how could these people from the Central Glorious Continent possibly know that?

They hadn't even properly investigated the Bai Clan before coming here.

Naturally, they didn't understand just how terrifying the Bai Clan's current strength was.

Ma Lingfeng nodded.

"Good, Brother Bai!"

A smile appeared on his face.

"Actually, there is something I need your help with."

Bai Zihan raised an eyebrow.

"Tell me. If there is something I can help with, I would definitely do it!"

Ma Lingfeng's expression became serious.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Bai."

Ma Lingfeng's expression became slightly more serious.

"Actually, Brother Bai, the reason we came to the Desolate Heaven Empire is because we heard that there is some kind of inheritance here."

"Ma Ling—"

Ma Qianxiu immediately wanted to stop him.

But he stopped halfway.

He already knew there was no way Ma Lingfeng would listen to him.

Still, he couldn't help feeling disappointed.

How could Ma Lingfeng so easily reveal such important information to Bai Zihan without even properly knowing the Bai Clan?

(Well, let him say it.)

In any case, one more person knowing won't change anything.

The whole Central Glorious Continent already knew about it, and one or two people would definitely let the information slip.

It was very likely that some force in the Eastern Region also knows about it by now.

Ma Qianxiu remained silent.

Bai Zihan, meanwhile, pretended to be surprised.

"An inheritance?"

Ma Lingfeng nodded.

"Yes. But we don't know exactly what kind of inheritance it is."

He paused for a moment before continuing.

"From the information we know, it should be an inheritance left behind by a fallen ancient powerhouse."

Ma Lingfeng deliberately kept his explanation vague.

At least he wasn't stupid enough to reveal everything he knew to Bai Zihan.

"An inheritance left behind by a fallen powerhouse..."

Bai Zihan's expression looked thoughtful.

"That would explain why so many people from the Central Glorious Continent have come here."

Ma Lingfeng nodded.

"Exactly. Everyone wants to get their hands on it."

Ma Lingfeng continued.

"So, Brother Bai, I want to ask for your help."

Bai Zihan raised an eyebrow.

"What kind of help?"

Ma Lingfeng smiled.

"With the Bai Clan's influence throughout the Desolate Heaven Empire, finding the inheritance should be much easier."

"I want Brother Bai to mobilize your people and search for it. If your people discover anything, you can immediately inform us."

Bai Zihan nodded.

"Is that all?"

"Yes!"

Ma Lingfeng's expression brightened.

"With Brother Bai's influence, it shouldn't be too difficult."

Bai Zihan agreed without hesitation.

"Don't worry, Brother Ma. I'll arrange it right away."

Ma Lingfeng smiled.

"Good! Thank you, Brother Bai."

On the surface, Bai Zihan looked completely sincere.

But deep inside, he was sneering.

(What incredible audacity.)

Ma Lingfeng hadn't even offered anything in return.

He hadn't mentioned providing manpower.

He hadn't mentioned sharing any information.

He hadn't even talked about how the benefits would be divided if the inheritance were found.

Yet he casually asked Bai Zihan to mobilize the Bai Clan's forces and do all the work for him.

Such people really only knew how to take advantage of a relationship.

They wanted to enjoy every benefit while contributing nothing.

Still, Bai Zihan had no intention of refusing.

After all, he wasn't actually going to do what Ma Lingfeng asked.

He was merely putting on an act to make Ma Lingfeng happy.

As for the inheritance—

His gaze quietly shifted toward Ma Qianxiu.

(You want the inheritance? Then just stay close to him.)
