Leaving

Duan De hesitated for a long while.

In the end, he decided to stay on this mountaintop. If another sentient weapon flew over, he could intercept it directly. Not even ghosts could steal his things.

Rumble...

The Demon Emperor Tomb was finally broken open by several supreme experts working together.

Countless streams of rosy light shot in every direction.

The supreme experts unleashed great divine abilities and reached for the most dazzling rays of light.

After obtaining weapons that satisfied them, they did not leave. Instead, they repeatedly swept the area with their Divine Sense, searching for the treasures they wanted.

Boom!

Just as the supreme experts searched for the treasures they sought, a beam of light as dazzling as the sun erupted from the scene. Even those supreme experts could not look directly at it, yet that did not stop the mighty figures from using their divine abilities to seize it.

Whoosh!

The dazzling beam shattered the divine abilities unleashed by the supreme experts and tore through the air.

Its direction was precisely toward the mountaintop where Duan De stood.

Watching the beam streak toward him at incredible speed, Duan De rubbed his hands excitedly, a thrilled smile on his face.

"Daoist, get out of the way! You can't handle that."

Chen Yu's voice came from afar. He truly feared that this dead fat man would be unable to restrain himself and try to catch the Demon Clan Imperial Weapon.

Duan De quickly came to his senses upon hearing that.

Even if he obtained it, the supreme experts behind it would tear him apart. With a whoosh, he charged toward the mountaintop where Chen Yu and the others were.

"Daoist, I just saved your life. How do you plan to thank me?"

Chen Yu smiled at Duan De as he looked at the distant mountaintop that had been smashed into dust.

Although Duan De would certainly have fled in the end, Chen Yu had spoken first. This life-saving favor ought to count.

"Infinite Heavenly Venerable! This Daoist was already going to leave. It had nothing at all to do with your words, little brother."

"Daoist, that is not quite right. You were racing against death just now. Had you left any later, your life might already have reached its end."

At that moment, the Demon Clan Imperial Weapon was sucked away by a green Treasure Gathering Basin. Beside it stood a peerlessly beautiful woman of unmatched grace. After putting away the green basin, she instantly transformed into a streak of light and departed, leaving behind only a clear, melodious laugh.

"Thank you, seniors, for your assistance."

"What a scheme. They had actually arranged the Treasure Gathering Basin in advance." Duan De finally understood why sentient weapons had been flying in this direction. Then he revealed a puzzled expression. "Could the owner of the Treasure Gathering Basin really have taken those sentient weapons?"

Chen Yu ignored Duan De and looked into the sky instead. Because the Treasure Gathering Basin had appeared only briefly, numerous sentient weapons were now flying toward them from every direction.

[Chen Yu: Ye Hei, if you can obtain the Green Copper, put it into the Chat Group Mall first. I put the previous three treasures in the Mall. Don't let that cheat Duan De see them.]

[Ye Fan: All right.]

[Ye Fan: If the Chat Group has a spirit, do you think it'll keep a little notebook on you? You're actually using the Mall as a storage bag.]

[Chen Yu: Can't be helped. It won't give us a space to store items.]

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

One piercing sound after another rang out as numerous rays of light shot toward the shattered stone mountain.

"Hahaha! This Daoist is going to get rich!" Duan De stared at those rays with shining eyes, tossed Chen Yu and the others aside, and rushed toward the glowing streaks.

At the same time, numerous cultivators charged in from all directions, all rushing toward those rays of light.

"Ah..."

Sentient weapons were clearly not so easy to obtain. Those lacking sufficient strength were pierced through by countless rays of light, joining the many corpses on the ground.

Although Duan De screamed miserably up above, Chen Yu and the others knew the dead fat man was fine and stopped paying attention to him, turning their gazes elsewhere.

Chen Yu and the others had naturally gained quite a lot. Now, they only wanted to see whether Ye Fan could obtain the Green Copper.

At that moment, quite a few more rays of light flew over, and some landed near Chen Yu and the others. However, they did not pick them up and merely stood quietly where they were.

Many cultivators rushed over to search for treasures, all the while repeatedly sizing up Chen Yu's group of three.

Clang!

An object landed in front of Ye Fan. Just as he picked it up, several cultivators came over, their eyes fixed intently on his hand.

"Here, take it. Whoever wants it can come and get it." Ye Fan tossed the item in his hand onto the ground, pretending not to care.

"It's actually just a piece of scrap copper. What a waste of my time."

"I thought it was some treasure. This is all it is?"

The cultivators cursed as they examined it very carefully. Once they confirmed it was useless, they returned the Green Copper to Ye Fan.

After that, more than a dozen groups came to search the mountain. They took the Green Copper to study it as well, only returning it to Ye Fan after confirming that it was useless.

"Hahaha..."

Hearing that familiar laugh, Ye Fan sent the Green Copper into the Mall before Duan De landed, not even allowing him a glance at it.

After Duan De landed, Chen Yu immediately said, "Daoist, we plan to leave. There are too many important figures here. We're afraid they might kill us by accident."

Duan De nodded. The Demon Emperor Tomb had already been opened, and there was nothing here worth lingering over. He had returned to ask whether Chen Yu's group intended to leave; if they did not, he would leave on his own.

When Duan De and the others reached the edge, they were informed that no one was allowed to leave for the time being.

Many cultivators grew uneasy and gathered together to discuss it.

"Why won't they let us leave? Haven't all the treasures already been taken?"

"No, I heard it's because the Eastern Wasteland Human Supreme Treasure has not been found. That's why several important figures want to seal off the mountain and investigate."

"If even those important figures can't find it, there's no use stopping us loose cultivators!"

All kinds of discussions drifted over. Chen Yu's eyes lit up as he looked at Duan De. "Daoist, what is the Eastern Wasteland Human Supreme Treasure? Do you know?"

Duan De did not even raise his eyelids. "I don't know. It's not like that thing would ever be given to me, so why should I care what it is?"

Chen Yu resisted the urge to roll his eyes. You don't know? You simply don't want to tell us, do you?!

However, Chen Yu was merely putting on an act and had no intention of getting to the bottom of it.

Time passed slowly, and the people outside did not disappoint Chen Yu. News of the Demon Emperor Tomb's emergence attracted another large group of people.

Suddenly, endless divine radiance rose from all directions. The "Dao patterns" arranged by the important figures were forcibly broken from the outside.

Immediately afterward, thousands upon thousands of Divine Rainbows rushed in. Several times more cultivators than before had arrived.

With so many cultivators, this place would inevitably become extremely chaotic. Even the entire Yan Kingdom might no longer remain peaceful.

Duan De took out his pot lid and swiftly led Chen Yu's group of three away.

After returning to the capital of Yan Kingdom, Duan De looked at Chen Yu's group. "Three brothers, our fate together ends here for now. Mountains and rivers will meet again. Until we meet again."

Duan De wanted to leave, but Chen Yu did not intend to let him go so easily.

"Daoist, I saved your life before. This life-saving favor..."

Before Chen Yu could finish speaking, Duan De rode a rainbow of light and vanished with a whoosh. He was so fast that it was astonishing.

Chen Yu stared blankly in the direction Duan De had left. I only wanted your pot lid. I wasn't going to take your life. Did you have to run that fast?

Shaking his head, Chen Yu decided to forget it. There would be another opportunity in the future.

Next was the time to sort through their gains. He wondered whether there would be any surprises.
