Whoosh!
Chen Ping'an, dressed as a Confucian scholar, flashed away in evasion light and left Mist Valley.
"Five Thousand Mechanisms Pouches, one secret treasure, three pseudo treasures, and one piece of Fourth Rank refined ore."
As he took stock of this haul, he was in fairly good spirits.
Zhenyue Zun and Red Peak True Person were both long-famous veteran Celestials, their accumulations far beyond those of ordinary Celestials.
Zhenyue Zun in particular was an exceedingly veteran existence even among Second Realm Celestials. His accumulated wealth was downright terrifying.
Judging by the haul, this might not have been their entire fortunes—there had been no true treasures among it, for instance—but overall, the gains had far exceeded Chen Ping'an's expectations.
If Zhenyue Zun truly possessed a treasure, he might not have been so willing to hand it over.
His earlier move had been more about striking first to seize the initiative, overpowering them with force, and displaying an invincible bearing. He had used the momentum of a Great Celestial to leave them with the impression—and even the shadow—that he could not be opposed.
But.
This Great Cultivator of his was not a real Great Cultivator, after all.
If they truly came to blows, especially in a battle of life and death, the two joining hands would still give him quite a bit of trouble.
Red Peak True Person was manageable. He might have been somewhat stronger than Dream-Eating Lotus Lord, but only by a limited amount.
Zhenyue Zun, however, was no joke. That body-tempering of his was the real deal. If they fought to the death, Chen Ping'an might feel a slight headache as well.
Still, no matter what, it had ended satisfactorily.
He had examined all these spiritual items and resources with his divine soul and found no tricks on them.
