Inside the Palace, there were two others besides Shang Cheng.
One had a half-transparent body. He was clearly of the Spirit Race.
The other...
This man's Divine Soul power was exceptionally strong, and his appearance was entirely different from the other two. He looked like a human, but his aura was markedly different from that of the Human Race.
He looked barely twenty, yet his aura was terrifyingly powerful!
He was of the Soul Race!
All three had immense auras, each several degrees stronger than Xing Luo.
The Soul Race youth in particular radiated vast Great Dao Power, faintly suppressing both Shang Cheng and the Spirit Race youth.
Compared with the Soul Race youth's powerful, faintly aggressive presence, Shang Cheng and the Spirit Race youth looked grim, their faces almost livid.
Shang Cheng took a deep breath, forced down his anger, and said in a low voice, "Fengyang, we agreed that of the Xuanhuang Stone we found in the Northern Region, we'd hand over half and keep half. Why has your share suddenly risen to seventy percent?"
Half handed over!
Seventy percent handed over!
Even half was already an enormous share, let alone seventy percent.
For every ten pieces of Xuanhuang Stone Shang Cheng found, he had to give five to the Soul Race.
Even so, Shang Cheng had no choice but to accept.
He couldn't help it. This was Soul Race territory.
Without the Soul Race's protection, he wouldn't even have a chance to search for Xuanhuang Stone elsewhere.
The area Shang Cheng had once occupied in the Southeastern Region of the Ancient Xuanhuang World, for instance, had long since been seized by the Devil Race under Wu Ge. Wu Ge had even wanted to keep Shang Cheng as a "slave" to search for Xuanhuang Stone Veins for him.
