Back then, to fool Old Ye into thinking she had killed Cheng Shiyuan for her treasures, Lin Qi had taken Cheng Shiyuan's largest storage pouch after reaching a partnership with her.
After returning, she had split the contents of the storage pouch evenly with Old Ye.
Lin Qi had originally planned to reclaim the other half after Old Ye died, but she had not expected him to be so cunning that he escaped into the Sorrow Spring right under Chen Hao's nose.
For the time being, she was afraid that half could not be recovered.
Chen Hao had entered the Five Gods Battlefield in disguise as a Mahayana cultivator, so he surely had no shortage of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on him.
Unfortunately, the force of his self-destruction had been too great. There was probably nothing good left behind.
Cheng Shiyuan shook Chen Qinghui's storage pouch. "I nearly forgot about this!"
Lin Qi raised a brow. "Looks like it's time to divide the spoils?"
"They are called trophies of war. Fellow Daoist Lin, don't make it sound so ugly."
Lin Qi swallowed a medicinal pill and sat cross-legged to regulate her breathing.
As Cheng Shiyuan sorted through the spoils, she asked, "How did Chen Hao self-destruct and die? The battle was chaotic at the time, and I did not see it clearly."
"The concentration of Killing Intent in the Spirit Veins within the Five Gods Battlefield was extremely high. I dug up a Spirit Vein along the way, then shattered it while Chen Hao was casting a spell and absorbing spiritual energy, allowing the Killing Intent to invade his organs and meridians along with the spiritual energy."
"Killing Intent can unsettle the mind and make one irritable and violent. He was also at a critical moment in his spellcasting.
