Chapter 724: Spiritual Stone Mine (Part 1)

"Kailash Ren, the resources are limited," Ruma Yang said sternly, trying to remind her.

Kailash Ren let out an unexpected, soft laugh, her gaze full of brilliance as she looked at Ruma Yang, "Do you think I’m a fool? Without enough profit, would you be so determined to fight these devils?"

"Even a three-year-old kid wouldn’t believe that," Chanchala Jin sneered.

They might have come late, but they weren’t easily deceived.

Ruma Yang’s expression turned dark, clearly angered at being seen through.

Meanwhile, Hari Liu’s face remained unchanged; he had anticipated this, which was why he proposed splitting the loot 50-50.

Anyone who could enter the Double Cavern Secret Realm wasn’t a fool.

Even Kailash Ren, who joined halfway, could sense something was off.

Ruma Yang must have thought everyone else was stupid.

It wasn’t just the attitude of the Eternal One Sect that gave it away; the fact that the devils hadn’t fled yet also suggested something was up.

Ruma Yang was feeling incredibly frustrated and upset.

The benefits they had hoped to gain were now being split between the Divine Maiden Sect and Artifact Refining Valley, meaning a significant loss for him.

"Alright, now can you tell us what you’re all fighting over?" Kailash Ren asked, not caring whether Ruma Yang was willing to answer or not.

If he wasn’t, her group would just stand by and watch, waiting for them to weaken each other in the fight against the devils.

Then, if the Eternal One Sect and Artifact Refining Valley tried to claim the rewards, they’d have to deal with her first.

Compared to the losses suffered by the Eternal One Sect and Artifact Refining Valley, the Divine Maiden Sect still had all five members intact.

This was in contrast to the heavy losses many other sects suffered during the previous battle for the Eight Stars Of Heavenly Jade Flower.

"It’s a spiritual stone mine," Ruma Yang said, his face dark with anger.

"What grade?" Kailash Ren immediately asked.

"Top grade," Ruma Yang didn’t answer, but Vijaya Tao, who was also feeling frustrated, reluctantly replied.

They felt bitter because they shouldn’t have to share with her group at all.

The three from Artifact Refining Valley had a glint in their eyes.

They knew there was something valuable but hadn’t realized it was a top-grade spiritual stone mine.

"Thirty percent," Kailash Ren said without hesitation.

"Impossible!" Ruma Yang’s response was firm.

If they gave the Divine Maiden Sect thirty percent, they’d be left with even less.

He felt increasingly agitated, as these people showed up at the last minute and now wanted to claim thirty percent of the spiritual stone mine.

He quickly looked at Hari Liu for support.

Hari Liu said, "Kailash Ren, thirty percent is out of the question. We can give you ten percent at most."

If they gave her thirty percent, both the Eternal One Sect and Artifact Refining Valley would have to sacrifice some of their shares, reducing their split from fifty percent to thirty, and then even further.

There was no way he could agree to that.

"Ten percent is too little. The minimum is twenty percent, or there’s no deal," Kailash Ren said decisively.

She was straightforward, and though both sides opposed her, she wasn’t going to insist on thirty percent.

But she also wouldn’t back down too much—twenty percent was her bottom line.

Ruma Yang was so angry that he nearly ground his teeth to dust.

The human cultivators started arguing among themselves, and the devils were also anxious, they’re torn between giving up the spiritual stone mine and not wanting to let it go.

"Another group of human cultivators has arrived, and one of them seems to be a prodigy. What should we do?" Two devil companions asked Nith worriedly.

Before Nith could respond, the group of devils they were working with moved over.

The leader, Izzonel, spoke up, "Nith, we’re thinking about giving up on this spiritual stone mine for now."

"Are you really going to give up a top-grade spiritual stone mine?" Nith didn’t expect Izzonel to surrender so easily.

Noticing the subtle mockery in Nith’s eyes, Izzonel didn’t seem to care, "They still have at least ten people who can fight, but look at us—we have just a few left with any strength. You’re seriously injured too. What chance do we have unless others arrive to help? But no one has shown up so far, and I doubt anyone will. It’s better to stay alive for now. After these humans divide the spoils, they won’t stay together, and then we can take them down one by one. If we can grab even a part of the loot, I’ll be satisfied."

His dark gaze swept over the three remaining members of Artifact Refining Valley.

As long as they kept their current strength, he was confident they could handle just three human cultivators.

"Nith, I think he’s right. Maybe we should retreat for now too. We still have more than ten days, that’s enough for us to heal our wounds," another companion agreed.

Nith was reluctant, "If only the others were here too."

Just then, several unfamiliar auras appeared nearby, and another group of devils unexpectedly arrived.

To the devils’ delight, the newcomer was none other than the devil prodigy Gagmuth, who was Nith’s rival.

The two of them always competed to see who was more superior.

Gagmuth’s group hadn’t lost a single member, largely because they hadn’t participated in the fight over the Eight Stars Of Heavenly Jade Flower.

While the devils were happy, the faces of the human cultivators darkened.

The advantage they had was suddenly erased, and the balance between the two sides was restored.

The members of the Eternal One Sect were almost all blaming the people from Artifact Refining Valley and the Divine Maiden Sect.

If they hadn’t shown up unexpectedly and wasted time arguing over the distribution of the spoils, they might have already defeated the devils.

"Thirty percent," Kailash Ren instantly revised her terms as soon as the new devils appeared.
