Chapter 722: Where’s Erod (Part 1)

After all, they were like two peas in a pod, destined partners who understood each other deeply.

This time, they had killed fourteen devils, with only one escaping.

It was an outstanding victory.

The others, who had felt trapped just moments ago, were amazed at how quickly the situation had turned around.

The victory was all thanks to their Junior Master Uncle and Martial Aunt.

The Green Lotus Sect disciples looked at Amalia and Kenny Lin with admiration and reverence.

"We were lucky that you arrived in time," Renshu Chang said while walking over toward them with a look of guilt.

"As long as everyone is safe, that’s what matters. Let’s gather the loot and leave this place as soon as possible," Amalia replied decisively.

"Understood," Renshu Chang immediately instructed everyone to collect the loot.

After they finished collecting the storage items from the corpses and making sure nothing was missed, they quickly left the area.

Meanwhile, in another part of the secret realm, a battle broke out between the Eternal One Sect and the devils.

Nith had been severely injured in a fight with a Nascent Soul stage demonic beast.

Ruma Yang saw this as an opportunity and led the disciples of the Eternal One Sect to ambush the group of devils.

However, they unexpectedly ran into another group of devils, and both sides suffered heavy losses.

The three members of Artifact Refining Valley, who had left earlier, appeared once again at the scene of the battle between the Eternal One Sect and the devils, making the situation even more unpredictable.

"Hari Liu?" Ruma Yang’s face darkened as he noticed the three members of Artifact Refining Valley appear on the scene.

He immediately realized that they must have been hiding nearby, watching their fight for a while.

Was Artifact Refining Valley planning to steal their credit?

"Brother Yang, what’s going on here?" Hari Liu asked, glancing at the devils on the other side and then at them, acting as if he had no idea what had happened.

Ruma Yang didn’t believe that Hari Liu was clueless.

He suspected they had been watching them fighting from the sidelines, waiting for both sides to weaken each other.

He didn’t think Hari Liu would go as far as to kill them to keep things quiet, but the possibility that he wanted to steal their spoils was quite high.

"I’m sure Brother Liu can figure out what happened just by looking," Ruma Yang replied.

Hari Liu didn’t seem bothered, "Brother Yang, it looks like the humans have the upper hand right now. How about we work together?"

Ruma Yang was a bit surprised by his offer.

Artifact Refining Valley was known for being arrogant and rarely cooperated with others.

But considering the situation, it made sense.

With only three members left in Artifact Refining Valley, they didn’t have much leverage anymore.

Many other sects had also suffered losses in numbers.

"How do you propose our cooperation?" Ruma Yang asked calmly, not showing any emotion.

"Fifty-fifty," Hari Liu suggested simply.

Ruma Yang sneered inwardly, "We put in so much effort and lost two junior brothers to get to this point. Now you show up at the end and want to take fifty percent? Isn’t that a bit much?"

"Not at all," Hari Liu replied with a casual smile, "Without our help, you might not even get fifty percent."

"Brother Liu is right. These devils look tough to deal with. Even though many people are injured, there are still plenty of them left," Ajit Wan added.

He remembered the day they discovered the spiritual veins, and how that young disciple from the Green Lotus Sect demanded ninety percent.

The fact that they were willing to split fifty percent with Eternal One Sect was already quite generous.

Unfortunately, the devil named Erod still hasn’t been found.

No one knows if he died somewhere else if he’s hiding with the spiritual veins, or if the Black Star Beast won in the end.

But with a body as huge as a mountain, it would be impossible for it to hide without leaving any trace.

Ajit Wan couldn’t figure it out during this time.

The only thing he hadn’t considered was that the Green Lotus Sect cultivator might still be alive.

"I’ll give you at most thirty percent. Fifty percent is out of the question," Ruma Yang said firmly.

He wasn’t about to hand over something that was already within his grasp.

"So, it seems we can’t come to an agreement on cooperation?" Hari Liu’s face darkened slightly.

Since they couldn’t get the spiritual vein, they needed to find other resources to make up for the loss.

After more than half a month of searching the secret realm, the only places left were the dangerous areas, like that cliff.

Once people learned there were secrets on the cliff, many went to investigate.

But when they discovered that there were still many Nascent Soul stage demonic beasts in the forest and mountains on the cliff, they didn’t dare go any deeper.

Going back empty-handed wasn’t an option; they couldn’t face their elders that way.

Now, they had to try to take something from the devils.

Ruma Yang, seemingly aware of what Hari Liu was planning, he sneered, "If you got your hands on some treasure and I suddenly showed up demanding fifty percent, would you agree?"

This comment hit the three from Artifact Refining Valley where it hurt, reminding them of the spiritual vein incident.

"Absolutely not!" Ajit Wan immediately refused without a second thought.

"That’s exactly our answer as well," Vijaya Tao said coldly.

No one would willingly give up something that was already within their grasp.

"Enough talk. Thirty percent. If you don’t want it, you can leave. But let me remind you, three people carrying a bunch of valuable things better be careful. Unless..." Ruma Yang trailed off, but the three from Artifact Refining Valley understood the unspoken threat.

Unless they killed everyone here to keep their haul a secret, no one would know what they were carrying, and no one would come after them.
