I'm Directly Fanning the Flames
After agreeing to split the profits, the two parties went treasure hunting together.
After the treasure hunt is over, there shouldn't be any problem with everyone dividing the rare and precious materials equally.
The problem arose when, just as they were about to leave, they discovered another Baiyu box.
The Baiyu box is bound by an ancient seal. Although they are unable to open it with their strength, they know it is related to the ancient seal.
It could very well be a windfall of immense wealth.
For example, there might be an ancient treasure inside, or even a spiritual treasure containing consciousness!
"Either hand over the goods, or you leave your lives here today. You choose."
Another Fire Spirit Sect cultivator urged impatiently.
Because the cultivators of the Fire Spirit Sect were proficient in fire magic, they all had rather bad tempers, and at this moment they were all filled with anger.
"You can have the box, but you have to give us two-thirds of your previous profits as compensation. Then we'll pretend Zhi Shi never happened. Either I destroy the box, and nobody gets it!"
Li Wangsheng was naturally unwilling to hand over the box directly and put forward his own conditions.
If this continues, he really isn't going to be able to hold on much longer.
Moreover, this place is closer to the Fire Spirit Sect, so their people might arrive first!
The three members of the Fire Spirit Sect stopped their attack, their expressions somewhat grim.
Just as they were considering it...
Tang Yu, who was watching the show from the sidelines, instantly realized that this was none other than the classic fantasy cultivation plot of snatching chestnuts from a fire and hijacking something.
The protagonist goes to a place where two major forces are fighting over a magical artifact or something.
Then the protagonist, a nobody, gets the short end of the stick and manages to escape afterwards.
Of course, being at the same Nascent Soul stage as Tang Yu, he certainly wouldn't consider himself a nobody.
They're all from the seven major sects, so who's more noble than whom?
So he took out a jade bead from his storage ring and placed it on his face.
The jade bead transformed into a ray of spiritual light that spread across his face and then became Lin Xuan's face.
However, as a kind-hearted man, Tang Yu felt it was inappropriate to do bad things while using someone else's name.
So he took out another jade bead and placed it on his face.
On top of the original, a middle-aged man's face was covered up again.
With preparations complete, negotiations between the two sides at the heart of the battlefield were nearly finished.
After the three members of the Fire Spirit Sect took out the rare and precious materials they had obtained earlier.
Li Wangsheng also took out the Baiyu box.
The moment when both parties carefully handed the items to each other
A bolt of lightning arrived in an instant, rushing towards Zhang Yu of the Fire Spirit Sect.
As he snatched the Baiyu box, he unleashed a punch imbued with terrifying pressure, sending Zhang Yu flying back over a hundred feet.
"Elder Li, you've worked hard. The sect leader instructed me to take this item with me first. Elder Wang and the others will arrive shortly. Do not let these three escape!"
After repelling the Fire Spirit Sect cultivator with a single punch, Tang Yu burst into laughter and turned to leave.
"You Myriad Dharma Sect are courting death!"
Tang Yu's sudden attack enraged the remaining two Fire Spirit Sect cultivators.
Without further hesitation, the two spat out a mouthful of blood essence and used their unique secret technique to summon two more fire-elemental generals once again.
The four fire-elemental generals charged in the four directions—east, south, west, and north—to form a defensive array, creating a fiery barrier over a radius of ten miles.
Zhang Yu, who had been repelled, was also furious.
Despite his serious injuries, he took out a red tiger tally and crushed it on the spot.
A powerful stream of fiery true essence shot into the sky and merged into the barrier.
The barrier then shook.
Dozens of phoenixes formed from flames emerged from the barrier and rushed towards Tang Yu and his companions.
Seeing that the three members of the Fire Spirit Sect were starting to fight desperately.
Li Wangsheng and his companion from the Myriad Dharma Sect were also somewhat dumbfounded.
After regaining his senses, Li Wangsheng shouted angrily.
"You three idiots, this person is not from my Myriad Dharma Sect!"
The Myriad Dharma Sect has a unique secret method that allows members of the same sect to sense each other's presence.
This bastard who suddenly appeared claiming to be a fellow clansman was clearly there to cause trouble.
However, the three members of the Fire Spirit Sect were no longer willing to believe Li Wangsheng's lies.
A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit.
Getting scammed once isn't a problem.
Being deceived twice... one's Dao heart will be tarnished.
Seeing that the three of them wouldn't listen to reason, and seeing that damned bastard trying to break through the barrier to escape.
Li Wangsheng disregarded everything else and followed the example of the three from the Fire Spirit Sect, risking his life.
He burned a mouthful of his essence and then formed hand seals.
Immediately afterwards, the ground churned up and countless pebbles and soil rose into the air, condensing into three giant swords, each a hundred feet long, that slashed straight down at Tang Yu.
Only by killing this person can we prove our innocence today.
Otherwise, not only would they be unfairly blamed, but the two sides might also go to war over it.
Doesn't this mean that someone else sleeps with a courtesan, and you end up paying for it after helping them with the act?
Tang Yu, who was trying to break through the barrier, took three sword blows and was sent flying over a hundred feet away.
Tang Yu opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The middle-aged man's face developed cracks that then disappeared, revealing Lin Xuan's face instead.
"It's Hundred Faces Pearl!"
Tang Yu's expression suddenly changed.
The three members of the Fire Spirit Sect reacted instantly.
This kid might really not be a member of the Myriad Dharma Sect!
At that moment, the five put aside their previous prejudices and instantly turned their attention to Tang Yu.
Just as they were about to attack, Tang Yu no longer hesitated, decisively took out the Sun-Moon Shuttle, transformed into lightning, broke through the barrier, and disappeared.
Without saying a word, the five people tried to give chase.
After chasing for over a thousand miles and realizing they had completely lost their target, the five furious individuals could only stare at each other in bewilderment.
Li Wangsheng had already stored the rare and precious materials he had obtained in the previous exchange into his storage ring, and said with a stern face.
"Our deal is done. If you couldn't protect the goods, that's your own fault for being tricked. We've already done more than enough by helping you pursue them."
"Know."
Zhang Yu, who was seriously injured, did not continue to make trouble.
Compared to the lost rare and precious materials, the stolen Baiyu box was what he cared about most.
This brat actually dared to plot against their Fire Spirit Sect!
Filled with resentment, the three turned and quickly returned to the Fire Spirit Sect.
After reporting the situation to the sect, a warrant for the arrest of this person was issued!
After Tang Yu, who had already fled thousands of miles away, realized that he was safe,
Only then did they slowly replace Lin Xuan's face with his.
Anyway Son of Luck is invincible, so let him take the blame.
After putting the Baiyu box into the storage ring.
Tang Yu chuckled and made a large detour before returning to the Joyous Union Sect.
