Chapter 1131: Chapter 1150: The Unlucky Yin Sea Saint King
“Alright, there’s only thirty million years until the next opening of the Tianyuan gateway, and we must obtain the treasures of the Tianyuan Kingdom within these thirty million years. Now that we’re already in, are we really going back?” said Dao Yun Saint King.
“Indeed, how can we leave a treasure mountain empty-handed? Let’s climb the mountain now,” echoed Yin Hai Saint King.
Boom!
Dao Yun Saint King strode forward and directly blasted open a barrier in front of them, which made everyone’s eyes light up. Without any further words, they began breaking through the barriers on the mountain road together.
Rumble!
The heavens and earth roared, the holy light exploded, and the five of them advanced continuously. One barrier after another was shattered by them, almost without any delay.
From the foot to the peak of the mountain, a barrier appeared almost every three steps. The five took turns, constantly shattering these barriers, advancing at a rapid pace.
“Nine-Colored Immortal Mushroom?”
Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out. Dao Yun Saint King’s face was flushed, and he was holding a Spirit Essence in his hand, which was emitting a nine-colored glow.
“Quick, let me see it.”
Yin Hai Saint King instantly appeared before Dao Yun Saint King, reaching out to snatch the Nine-colored Immortal Ganoderma. But Dao Yun Saint King turned to the side, holding the Ganoderma in his hand, a hint of gloom passing through his eyes as he looked at Yin Hai Saint King.
“This is a treasure I discovered. Yin Hai, what do you intend to do?” Dao Yun Saint King said coldly.
“You…?” Yin Hai Saint King’s expression changed slightly, a glimmer of cold light flickering in his eyes.
“Alright, we already discussed that all the treasures we find will be distributed according to our prior agreement. This Nine-colored Immortal Ganoderma shall stay with Dao Yun; we’ll distribute all the treasures after this journey,” Tailing Saint King stepped forward, easing the tense atmosphere.
At this moment.
Ye Xuan looked on coldly, a hint of scorn crossing his eyes. They had only just obtained one treasure, and conflict was already surfacing. It seemed this expedition to the Tianyuan Kingdom was getting more interesting.
“It’s all up to Brother Tailing to decide.” Dao Yun Saint King chuckled, putting away the Nine-colored Immortal Ganoderma, while Yin Hai Saint King’s eyes narrowed slightly, saying nothing, but a hint of coldness quietly passed through his eyes.
Boom, boom, boom!
The mountains trembled, the heavens and earth roared, over two thousand barriers were broken, and the five obtained four treasures.
A Chaos Divine Weapon, a Void Origin Pill, a Saint King Level Technique, and a Wind Thunder Fan.
Strangely, Ye Xuan only obtained a Void Origin Pill along the way, while Jiuqu Old Mother obtained a Chaos Divine Weapon, the Saint King Level Technique was obtained by Tailing Saint King, and Dao Yun Saint King got the Wind Thunder Fan. Together with the Nine-colored Immortal Ganoderma in his hand, he alone held two items.
Among the five, Yin Hai Saint King gained nothing, and his expression grew increasingly grim. Although they shattered barrier after barrier on the way, he gained nothing.
Luck truly is an elusive thing. Just as Yin Hai Saint King felt displeased, Dao Yun Saint King obtained another piece of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Essence, causing Yin Hai Saint King’s eyes to turn red with envy.
Dao Yun Saint King’s luck was undeniably good. At this moment, he already held three treasures in his hands.
Although, according to their previous agreement, these treasures would be equally divided, Yin Hai Saint King had gained nothing, and naturally harbored suspicion. If they didn’t adhere to the agreement after the Tianyuan Kingdom expedition, wouldn’t he end up empty-handed?
Moreover, Yin Hai Saint King discovered something particularly concerning. As they advanced, the barriers grew increasingly formidable, and he felt the strain.
Yet, only four thousand barriers had been broken; there remained a long way to nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine. Yin Hai Saint King was utterly convinced they couldn’t reach the summit, for the barriers ahead were too powerful, impossible for them to break.
“Stop!”
As the four continued forward, Yin Hai Saint King couldn’t hold back any longer and called out to them directly.
“What is it, Daoist Yin?” Tailing Saint King frowned.
“I propose we distribute the treasures we’ve obtained now,” Yin Hai Saint King said sinisterly.
“Now?”
Dao Yun Saint King’s expression turned cold. “Yin Hai, do you not trust us?”
“Daoist Yin, distributing these things isn’t urgent. Why not wait until we leave the Tianyuan Kingdom?” Jiuqu Old Mother frowned.
“Indeed, dividing the treasures now based on our previous arrangement would be too time-consuming. Let’s discuss it later,” Tailing Saint King said.
“I don’t mind; you can decide among yourselves,” Ye Xuan smiled slightly at Yin Hai Saint King, casually giving his opinion.
Ye Xuan already discerned that conflict was brewing, and it wouldn’t take long to erupt.
He understood human nature too well and could guess Yin Hai Saint King’s thoughts.
Furthermore, not only Yin Hai Saint King, but Dao Yun Saint King and Jiuqu Old Mother also harbored their own thoughts.
As more and more treasures were obtained, Dao Yun Saint King himself held three items, but according to the agreement, he could only take less than a twenty percent share.
If Dao Yun Saint King had only obtained one item, he would naturally have no problem with the allocation, but having claimed three items, he wouldn’t want to give them up for equitable distribution.
People are greedy, even Saints aren’t exempt. The conflict was already surfacing, only a spark would set it off.
Regarding Dao Yun Saint King and the others, Ye Xuan wasn’t overly concerned, as he was always watching Tailing, this old fox. Ye Xuan felt this guy was surely hiding something, and along the way, Tailing Saint King didn’t seem very concerned with the treasures, often showing hints of anxiety.
There’s something wrong!
There’s definitely something wrong with this Tailing Saint King.
“Fine, I hope everyone remembers our previous agreement,” Yin Hai Saint King said coldly, advancing once more and breaking open another barrier.
Sometimes, when one is down on their luck, even cold water chokes. Perhaps Yin Hai Saint King was truly at his lowest; despite breaking over four thousand barriers, while the others obtained a bounty of treasures, he gained nothing.
At this moment, Yin Hai Saint King’s expression was as dark as could be. He continued forward silently, saying nothing more, yet with every barrier he shattered, his chilling presence was felt by the others.
Bam!
A resounding explosion—this was the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-ninth barrier, just one more to complete ten thousand, and with its breaking, a golden pill floated out.
“Heavenly Essence Pill?”
As this pill fell into Ye Xuan’s hand, the four Great Saints exclaimed, their eyes instantly turning crimson, their breaths becoming extremely rapid.
“Give it here.”
Suddenly, the four charged at Ye Xuan together, reaching to snatch the pill.
Buzz!
Ye Xuan sidestepped, evading the four, then looked at them coldly and said, “What do you four Daoists mean by this?”
