Dividing the Spoils

As the Gaunt Old Man finished speaking, Black Flame swept across the sky, spreading in all directions, causing ripples in the space.

Swish swish swish!

Countless small groups were dismantled, their protective barriers broken up, and exposed to the elements.

Faced with the Gaunt Old Man's request to clear the area, the people looked at each other, unsure how to respond. They had come out hoping to find some bargains and make a fortune, and they were reluctant to go back like this. Therefore, no one spoke up.

The Gaunt Old Man didn't care. These people who had been shaken out were weak and not his concern. The people he cared about hadn't come out yet.

Elder Yan cast his gaze toward a spot in mid-air, and then, this space suddenly distorted, and countless gazes were shocked to see four figures slowly appear in the sky.

The four figures simply stood still in the void, yet an extremely terrifying sense of oppression emanated from them, a feeling far Exceeded that of some Earthly Sovereign Great Perfection in the air.

Like the Gaunt Old Man, he already possessed a hint of the aura of Heavenly Sovereign.

As these four figures appeared, the world fell silent. All the powerful figures lowered their eyes slightly, and fear appeared on their faces.

Because these four people, like that old man from the Fire Spirit Race, had actually reached the level of Touching Heavenly Sovereign!

Some well-informed people have already recognized them.

True Monarch Ziyun, Joyful Immortal, Crimson Firmament Emperor, Eastern Thunder Hall Master.

These are all renowned figures, powerful individuals who can rival even those below the Heavenly Sovereign!

On the mountain peak, Elder Yan stared at the four figures. The one on the far left was a middle-aged man in flowing white robes, looking otherworldly. However, his purple eyes exuded an eerie aura, making him someone not to be underestimated.

The woman on his right was a pretty girl dressed very lightly, revealing large expanses of her fair skin. Her clothes, though simple, were printed with scenes of men and women making love. A captivating smile graced her innocent face, as if she were constantly drawing attention to herself.

Secondly, there was the emperor, clad in a golden dragon robe, his figure imposing, standing with his hands behind his back. His face was a pale golden color, and he exuded an endless majesty that made people's hearts tremble.

At the very back was an old man dressed in a black Daoist robe. His face was indifferent, and his eyes were full of ruthlessness. It seemed as if Thunder roars emanated from his body with every move he made, making people tremble with fear and dare not look at him for too long.

A powerful aura emanated from the four individuals, causing the space to tremble. The originally turbulent spiritual energy in the world quietly calmed down as it approached their bodies, like docile sheep.

They simply stood there, seemingly merging with heaven and earth, giving people a divine sense of harmony between humanity and nature. It was as if attacking them was equivalent to attacking this entire world.

This strange feeling made Elder Yan's eyes narrow slightly. He had not traveled for a long time, and he did not know many of these people. He only knew the last one, the Eastern Thunder Branch Master.

This person is one of the four lineage masters of the super power Thunder Extreme Hall. Although Thunder Extreme Hall is not as powerful as Fire Spirit Race, it is backed by a person Thunder Extreme Heavenly Venerable, Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereign.

Just as Elder Yan was about to ask about the origins of the others, his ears twitched slightly, and he gleaned the information he wanted from those people he looked down upon.

"Isn't that True Monarch Ziyun in white robes? He's the Sect Master of the Ziyun Sect in the Northern Region Heavenly Net Continent, one of the overlords of the Northern Region. No one in the Northern Region dares to obey his orders."

"That's quite a background. The top powers in the Heavenly Net Continent are all backed by super powers."

"That's for sure. The power behind True Monarch Ziyun is True Person Ziqi the Purple Qi Spirit Cave, who has been a Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereign for many years. Otherwise, Ziyun Sect wouldn't have become a top power in the Heavenly Net Continent."

"You've been so focused on talking about True Monarch Ziyun, but the other three aren't bad either. That man in the imperial robe is the Supreme of the Crimson Firmament Continent Dynasty in the Middle Continent."

"As for that voluptuous woman, she is the Joyful Immortal of the Joyful Sect. She cultivates the Great Joyful Technique, and her strength is no less than the other three. I heard that she likes handsome men the most. When I saw that pretty boy, her eyes lit up as if she wanted to devour him. She must have already reserved him."

"The Joyful Sect? Tsk tsk tsk, I don't know whether to envy that kid or pity him."

"..."

Purple Qi Spirit Cave? Isn't that similar to the Thunder Extreme Hall?

As for the Joyful Sect and the Crimson Firmament Continent, they only involve forces that Touching Heavenly Sovereign, so there's even less reason to pay them any mind.

Elder Yan muttered to himself, then exchanged a glance with Huo Mo, both understanding each other's meaning.

Immediately, Huo Mo and Elder Yan rose into the air and said:

"Gentlemen, I am Huo Mo, the young master of the Fire Spirit Race's Fire Vein. This gentleman beside me is Huo Yan, an elder of our Fire Vein, also known as the Cold Flame Yama Huo Yan. These individuals have a past grudge against us. Please give the Fire Spirit Race some face and refrain from interfering in this matter."

Upon hearing the words "Fire Spirit Race," all four people's expressions were affected, especially those of the Crimson Firmament Emperor and the Joyful Sect. They didn't have Heavenly Sovereign backing them up, so the name "Fire Spirit Race" was enough to make them wary.

However, the Eastern Thunder Branch Master narrowed his eyes and then smiled:

"Of course we can't refuse the Fire Spirit Race's request, and besides, I'm an old acquaintance of Cold Flame Yama, so I should give you even more face. However..."

The Eastern Thunder Branch Master paused slightly, then his expression seemed somewhat troubled.

"Before my journey, the Heavenly Venerable issued a decree that I must bring back the Grandmaster who has reached the Spirit God Pill Core realm. If I disobey, I will be punished."

"Our Ziyun Sect is the same. That lord asked me to bring back Alchemy Grandmaster." True Monarch Ziyun spoke calmly, glancing at the Eastern Thunder Branch Master with a deep look in his eyes.

"This... I also want that handsome young man." Joyful Immortal looked pitiful and spoke softly, as if asking her to leave was bullying her.

Huo Mo frowned at their words. He understood what they meant: they could compromise and give him the Azure Rock Green Flame and the Spirit God Pill, but they had to take the beautiful woman back with them.

As for that Joyful Immortal, she's even more outrageous. She's taken a liking to that pretty boy and doesn't even want the Alchemy Grandmaster anymore. Huo Mo doesn't believe it. This woman came for that pretty boy in the first place, but now her eyes seem glued to him. She didn't take her eyes off him much when she was talking just now!

As for the Crimson Firmament Emperor, he hadn't spoken yet, Huo Mo couldn't figure out their intentions for the time being. However, since he had come in person, he must have the same thoughts as True Monarch Ziyun and the others.

Of course, these people might have just wanted to steal the Divine Pill, but now that he's intimidated them, they've changed their minds and want the person instead. After all, wild High-Rank Alchemy Grandmaster would have already found a powerful backer long ago.

After thinking it through, Huo Mo's eyes sharpened, and he said coldly, "So you all intend to disrespect our Fire Spirit Race? Our Old Ancestor once told me that because he hadn't been out of the public eye for so long, outsiders had probably forgotten his prestige. Now it seems that what he said is true; we need to come out of the mountains again to find someone to reaffirm our authority!"

Although Huo Mo was arrogant, he was not stupid. That great beauty was able to refine divine Divine Pill that touched the Spirit Grade. If she escaped today, she would surely break through to the Alchemy Grandmaster in time. He could not withstand the attack of a Spirit Grade Alchemy Grandmaster.

Since we've already offended him so badly, we'll definitely have to do everything in our power today. There's absolutely no way we can take that Alchemy Grandmaster away.

If these people insist on interfering, then let's just use our trump cards!
