Being Squeezed Out

Leaving aside a Demigod Monster whose entire body is a treasure, even those Monster with tens of thousands of Three Stars or four-star Demon King are a huge fortune.

Monster Blood can awaken a martial artist, high-level Demon Heart can temper the body and refine bones, and demon bones and scales are also good materials for forging Martial Spirit Artifact.

It can be said that the tens of thousands of Monster currently imprisoned in Tong Pass, if converted into corresponding resources, would be enough to support a martial arts family of tens of thousands of people for ten years.

Inside the Suppression Space of the Seventeenth Tong Pass, Lin Yi used his consciousness to observe the hundred-foot-long Molten Lava Giant Python and the numerous Three Stars and four-star Demon King who were still wailing.

Of the ten Yao God, Lin Yi naturally chose the Demigod Monster with the largest body size and the highest level of cultivation.

Whether it's bleeding or cutting off scales, the gains from this kind of Monster far exceed those of ordinary Yao God.

Besides, the Molten Lava Giant Python was his old enemy, and even knew the real reason why the Fifth Tong Pass was attacked. Lin Yi naturally couldn't let it fall into the hands of other Garrison Commander, lest his identity be questioned.

Of course, Lin Yi was also reluctant to share so many Monster resources with others.

Unfortunately, with everyone watching, Lin Yi couldn't keep the benefits to himself, so he had to share them equally with everyone to gain a good reputation.

At this moment, Shao Lian spoke up, "According to what the Mansion Master said earlier, the Garrison Commander makes the greatest contribution in this Trial can be promoted to the vacant Deputy Prefect, and may even have a core spot in the secret realm. As it seems, among the ten of us, only Brother Qin has performed the best."

Its sound was quite loud; everyone in the Fire Sea could hear it.

Fufeng, Huang Xian, You Huoli, and others all had solemn expressions and spoke aloud.

Lei Buping had just withdrawn his consciousness from the Tong Pass Suppression Space when he said in a rough voice, "Anyway, it doesn't matter who's in charge, I have no objection."

In the past, upon learning that Qin Jian, the tenth-ranked Garrison Commander, was going to become the Deputy Prefect, Lei Buping would definitely have made a few sarcastic remarks.

Since Lei Buping had received such great benefits from Lin Yi, he had no choice but to speak well of Lin Yi.

Qian Sanliang was good at changing his stance according to the wind and knew how to place bets. Seeing the tense atmosphere, he quickly added, "Brother Qin, if you become the Deputy Prefect, I will be the first to agree."

You Huoli glanced at the silent Lin Yi, thought for a moment, and said, "As the Mansion Master said earlier, all of us ten Garrison Commander have a chance, and it should be decided based on performance. However, Brother Qin has only been in Tongguan Prefecture for three years, and I'm afraid his qualifications are still lacking..."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

These Garrison Commander were mostly selected from positions such as the Tongguan Prefecture Assistant Commander or other posts, and they had been in Tongguan Prefecture for quite some time.

Qin Jian was different; he was related to the Gu Family and became the Garrison Commander directly.

This is also why Lei Buping and others previously disliked Qin Jian.

Shao Lian retorted with a smile, "So what if he has been in Tongguan Prefecture for three years? Brother Qin's talent and ability speak for themselves. If it weren't for him, we would probably still be wandering around the outer edge of the Endless Fire Domain, not daring to go deeper, let alone complete the task assigned by Wushi Deputy Prefecture Lord."

Yang Fan nodded in agreement. "In that case, Brother Qin is indeed qualified."

Kun Haori rested his hands on the back of his head, lying on the Tongguan Treasure and said, "I have no objection. Anyway, no matter how it's rotated, it won't be my turn."

"Furthermore, Town Guardian Qin suppressed so many Monster for us, and I also benefited from that."

These words meant that all nine Garrison Commander present received enormous benefits from Lin Yi.

Fufeng looked at Huang Xian and You Huoli, and seeing that neither of them had any objections, he said, "I think this matter still needs to be decided by Wushi Deputy Prefecture Lord. Even if we discuss it further, we still won't be able to reach a conclusion."

Lei Buping couldn't help but say, "I'm telling Town Guardian Fu, even if Brother Qin isn't qualified in the end, it probably won't be your turn to become the garrison commander!"

"Lei Buping, watch your tone!"

Fufeng was furious and released the aura of seventh realm Martial Saint, glaring coldly at Lei Buping.

Lei Buping, feeling intimidated by the oppressive aura, coughed a few times and said, "What I mean is, we, the ten Garrison Commander, have always stood together through thick and thin. If we decide that Brother Qin will be the Deputy Prefect, then the Mansion Master and Wu Shi should also consider our opinion..."

You Huoli silent for a moment, then looked at Lin Yi and said, "Brother Qin, after all we've said, what do you mean?"

Lin Yi wasn't stupid; if a windfall came his way, he couldn't just turn it down.

Lin Yi cupped his hands and said, "Since everyone supports Qin, Qin will certainly do my best to win the position of Deputy Prefect!"

Upon hearing this, Kun Haori smiled and said, "Well, it's not even close to being settled yet. Town Guardian Qin, let me remind you, besides you, we still have two other Garrison Commander haven't shown up yet."

Lei Buping spoke up again, "Qian Xuan and Gai Duanjian? Hmph! Those two abandoned us to seek opportunities and Spiritual Materials. Even if they return now, so what? I, Lei Buping, don't want such a selfish Deputy Prefect."

Lin Yi couldn't help but shake his head. He never expected that Lei Buping, who had previously been at odds with him, would suddenly become so eager to fight for his position Deputy Prefect, arguing with several people.

It can only be said that Lei Buping's temperament is like this; he will retaliate when he sees something he doesn't like.

Just as everyone was talking, the booming sounds of battle came from afar.

"' Qian Heaven ' Domain is Qian Xuan!"

"The Gai Duanjian broken, and these two seem to be chasing Monster Demigod."

You Huoli frowned. "It's the Crimson Heart Boa. No wonder we didn't see this Yao God earlier. It turns out it didn't go to Black Rock Volcano, but hid in another place."

Huang Xian spoke up, "This demon is the second king of the Endless Fire Domain. He is only one part of the Heaven and Earth Power away from becoming a Heavenly Heaven-Piercing Demon God. It seems that Qian Xuan and the other two are after the Heaven and Earth Power."

Hearing the Heaven and Earth Power, the few people in the arena who had not yet stepped into the Martial Saint Seventh Realm all revealed fiery eyes.

The Heaven and Earth Power can help Yao God enter the Heaven-Reaching Realm, and in the same way, it can enable them to quickly master their Domain and become powerful warriors at the Martial Saint Seventh Realm.

"Qian Zhenshou, don't be afraid, I, Lao Lei, am here to help you!"

Just moments ago, he was cursing Qian Xuan and Lei Buping, and he was the first to rush out. Suddenly, he raised the Eighth Tong Pass and helped with the battle.

Qian Sanliang also wanted a share of the pie, so he hurriedly followed suit. "Since you are the Garrison Commander, I will also come forward to help!"

But upon seeing the two rushing towards him, Qian Xuan frowned slightly, and spiritual light burst forth from his fingertips. His ' Qian Heaven ' Domain erupted once again, trapping the already battered Chi Crimson Heart Boa in a small space, and instantly isolating Lei Buping and Qian Sanliang from the outside.

"I can handle this Yao God; there's no need to trouble you two!"

As they spoke, the Gai Duanjian behind Qian Xuan used its power to finally kill the fleeing Chixin Crimson Heart Boa.

Seeing that he had no part in the Heaven and Earth Power, Lei Buping angrily shouted, "Damn it, Qian Xuan, you bastard, you don't know what's good for you!"

The Crimson Heart Boa's escape techniques were extraordinary. Qian Xuan had been chasing it all the way and was already seething with anger. Seeing everyone's eyes fixed on the Crimson Heart Boa's Heaven and Earth Power, he angrily shouted, "Get lost!"

In an instant, the killing intent emanating from the seventh realm Martial Saint enveloped Lei Buping.

Unlike the oppressive aura that Fufeng had just released, Qian Xuan was truly filled with killing intent. Lei Buping shuddered and immediately dared not utter any more vulgar insults.

Seeing this, Qian Sanliang didn't dare to speak up, and could only sigh regretfully and step back.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qian Xuan came to the corpse of the Crimson Heart Boa and absorbed the Heaven and Earth Power that was flashing red light in its mouth.

Yang Fan looked on with envy. "It really is the Heaven and Earth Power, a fire attribute beast, its quality is at least second-rate!"

You Huoli was also a little envious. "Forget it, we didn't contribute, so let's not think about it."

If the second-rate fire-attribute Heaven and Earth Power could be refined by the ' Li Fire ', it would allow him to leap forward in his Domain Realm.

At this moment, Lei Buping returned, cursing and swearing, his face full of resentment.

"What nonsense! Brother Qin knew to share his spoils with us when he suppressed the Monster, but Qian Xuan just wants to hoard them all."

The expressions on everyone's faces varied.

That's absolutely true. Compared to Lin Yi's actions just now, Qian Xuan Xuan's behavior was indeed somewhat selfish.

Right now, even Huang Xian and You Huoli feel that if the twelve people were to choose Garrison Commander, Qin Jian would be a better choice than Qian Xuan.

On the other side, after Qian Xuan cut the Crimson Heart Boa in half, he and Gai Duanjian divided the combat supplies and then flew over.

Seeing that the Black Rock Volcano below had been reduced to ruins, he couldn't help but frown and scan the crowd, asking, "What just happened? And who controlled the Combined Tong Pass Treasure Tongguan?"

However, none of the ten Garrison Commander responded to Qian Xuan.

No one answered, Qian Xuan also sensed that something was off about the atmosphere.

He thought for a moment, then cupped his hands in greeting. "Everyone, the reason I didn't meet up with you earlier was because Brother Gai and I discovered the Crimson Heart Boa Serpent's whereabouts. This Crimson Heart Boa is the second Great Fiend god in the Endless Fire Domain. If we don't take this opportunity to eliminate it, it will definitely pose a huge threat to our Trial."

Lei Buping, who had somehow slipped behind the crowd, muttered to himself, "Hmph, all that talk is nice, but isn't it all for the Heaven and Earth Power on the Crimson Heart Boa!"

It's Lei Buping again!

You son of a bitch, if you've got the guts, don't hide behind someone!

Qian Xuan's brow twitched, but he suppressed his anger and explained in a deep voice, "Our pursuit of the Crimson Heart Boa may have been aided by the Heaven and Earth Power, but this time, the killing of the Crimson Heart Boa was ultimately for everyone's sake."

At this moment, You Huoli asked, "Brother Qian, how do you know that the Tongguan Treasure can be combined?"

"This matter was told to me by the Wushi Deputy Prefecture Lord on the way, and he also passed on to me a secret Treasure Combination Art that can help me pass through the gates!"

After a pause, Qian Xuan continued, "The reason I didn't inform you all is that Lord Wushi instructed me Wu Shi that if too many people knew about this, it might ruin his plans."

Unexpectedly, Kun Haori spoke up with a smile, "Qian Zhenshou, you're being unreasonable. I'm afraid the person who truly told you the inside story wasn't Wushi Deputy Prefecture Lord, but your Qian Family Old Ancestor."
