Just as Hai Ziyin said.
Once the news was confirmed, not to mention the surrounding alliances, even the enormous entity of the Nine Clans of the Abyss would be alarmed.
Old Chen naturally knew this.
The news of treasures within the ruins could be spread by anyone, but it could not come from Old Chen himself.
Otherwise, he would be settled with by the various alliances afterward.
Even the Association Leader would certainly not spare him lightly.
Therefore, everything he had said before was merely a bluff.
This was also the reason why Hai Ziyin was utterly indifferent to his words.
Although there were some minor frictions between the alliances, when it came to matters of major interest, everyone could still maintain a united front.
We may have internal conflicts, but when it comes to the final benefits, everyone can get a share, no matter how small.
If the news were to be spread, when the people from the Nine Clans of the Abyss arrive, none of us would have anything to gain.
