Chapter 3894: Lan Caidie
“Hundred Nights Ancestor, you’re a mighty Immortal Exalt, yet you’ve stooped to the level of robbing an Immortal Emperor junior?” Jian Chen gripped the Energy-devouring Furnace in one hand and looked at the Hundred Nights Ancestor with composure.
“You’re right. As a mighty Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, I’d be the ancestor of a sect no matter where I go, yet I’ve resorted to stealing heavenly resources from an Immortal Emperor junior. That is indeed a very embarrassing matter.”
“But who can help the fact that you’ve plundered several medicinal gardens? Now, you possess enough resources to even tempt Immortal Exalts. I’m obviously not immune to this temptation either.” The Hundred Nights Ancestor’s gaze at Jian Chen gradually sharpened. He radiated with a sense of viciousness as he said threateningly, “Yang Yutian, my patience is limited. I’ll give you ten seconds to choose. Are you going to hand over the heavenly resources or will I have to collect them myself?”
“I’ll make it perfectly clear. If I have to collect it myself, I can’t guarantee what will happen.”
“Oh right, I want the high quality god artifact in your hand as well!”
In the end, the Hundred Nights Ancestor shifted his gaze over to the Energy-devouring Furnace. His eyes were filled with undisguised greed. He could tell with a single glance that the Energy-devouring Furnace was the entire reason why Jian Chen could destroy the protective formations of so many medicinal gardens.
Even if he had no use for such a wondrous god artifact, it would fetch quite a price outside.
“Hundred Nights Ancestor, you’ve arrived here quite quickly, but I’m afraid that you won’t be able to enjoy the heavenly resources alone.” At this moment, an elderly voice rang out from afar. An illusionary figure flew over before stopping beside the Hundred Nights Ancestor in the end.
He was an old man in scarlet robes. His cultivation had not reached the Second Heavenly Layer of Immortal Exalt, but he was already at the peak of the First Heavenly Layer, only a step away from the second.
He stopped three hundred metres away from the Hundred Nights Ancestor, but he did not fear him.
“Skylark Master, you’ve actually found this place too?” Seeing who it was, the Hundred Nights Ancestor furrowed his brows. Despite possessing an advantage in cultivation, it would be very difficult for him to quickly capitalise on this advantage if they began fighting.
That was because the Skylark Master was different from him. Not only did he have an entire legacy behind him, but his cultivation method was extraordinary. He himself happened to be a divine beast of unique talents as well. His bloodline was powerful. Within the same realm of cultivation, only devious geniuses could overwhelm him.
“I’m not going to be greedy. I’ll take sixty percent of the resources on Yang Yutian.” The Skylark Master smiled gently.
“Sixty percent? That won’t be possible. It’ll be a fifty-fifty split at most.” The Hundred Nights Ancestor’s voice rank. He felt anguished inside as he watched the riches within his arms reach suddenly halve.
When he saw how the Skylark Master wanted to continue to bargain, the Hundred Nights Ancestor growled in discontent. “We can still split it evenly right now, but if we keep wasting time and draw over more Immortal Exalts, we won’t even get a share anymore. Skylark Master, you better not take this too far. After all, we’re not the only two people searching for Yang Yutian in the Skyscraping World right now.”
“Alright, a fair split is a fair split!” The Skylark Master agreed flatly. He turned his attention towards Jian Chen; his gaze was sharp. “Yang Yutian, you better think things through. Are you going to hand it over yourself or do we have to do it ourselves?”
Jian Chen began to laugh. “If you want to steal from me, I’m afraid a First Heavenly Layer and a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt isn’t quite enough.” When he said that, he had already secretly communicated with the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt, planning on killing the two of them in one fell stroke.
Sweeping through the medicinal gardens in the Skyscraping World came with a certain amount of risk. Jian Chen was already prepared for this.
After all, the Immortal Exalt ancestors in the Skyscraping World all coveted the heavenly resources grown in the medicinal gardens, but no one had the courage to touch them. Just the colossal organisations behind these medicinal gardens were enough to leave them wary, let alone the tremendous effort required to destroy the formations.
However, it was different if they were stealing these heavenly resources from someone else. Not only would they obtain a terrifying quantity of God Tier heavenly resources, but they would not have to worry about offending the organisations behind these medicinal gardens either.
“Unless I can prove the fact that I have an extremely powerful Immortal Exalt behind me, the deterrence from Xing Caijian’s friendliness is limited at the end of the day. If there aren’t any conflicts of interest, these Immortal Exalts obviously won’t provoke me for the sake of Xing Caijian, but once a colossal conflict of interest arises, most of them will stop caring,” Jian Chen thought to himself. He had understood this principle a long time ago.
“Yang Yutian, since you want to bite off more than you can chew, you better not blame us.” The Skylark Master’s face was filled with malice. His pressure flooded out as energy that resembled tidal waves surged out of his body.
Cold light shimmered in Jian Chen’s eyes. He made no attempt to hide his killing intent. He was just about to release the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt.
“You better get through me first if you want to steal from fellow Yang Yutian.”
At this moment, a voice that Jian Chen found to be rather familiar rang out from afar. With a flash, an old woman with a walking cane had already appeared.
When he saw who it was, Jian Chen furrowed his brows. He was slightly surprised.
He recognised her. She was the vice cult leader of the Ghost Immortal cult who had endured a strike from the Divine Formation of the Heavens several months ago, Lan Caidie!
Right now, Lan Caidie stood with her back towards Jian Chen. Her thin, old eyes shone with chilling light.
“It’s you! You’re the vice cult leader of the Ghost Immortal cult, Lan Caidie!” The Skylark Master narrowed his eyes violently and could not help but cry out. His expression changed drastically. He had never been so stern before.
“Vice cult leader of the Ghost Immortal cult, are you also here for a slice of the pie?” The Hundred Nights Ancestor furrowed his brows and let out a long sigh “Another person. There are fewer resources for me again.”
“Hehehe, do you think I’ve come here to split resources with you?” Lan Caidie laughed hoarsely.
When he heard that, the Skylark Master forced out a smile that was even uglier than crying. “You must be joking, cult leader Lan. Since you’ve come in person, we obviously have no business here. We’ll leave immediately. We’ll leave immediately.”
“Skylark Master, what are you afraid of? The cult leader of the Ghost Immortal cult is only a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, which is similar to my strength. If we work together, are we unable to defeat her?” the Hundred Nights Ancestor furrowed his brows and asked.
The Skylark Master’s expression changed drastically. He rapidly flew away from the Hundred Nights Ancestor like he was avoiding the plague, pulling away from him. He said in exasperation, “Hundred Nights Ancestor, you better show some respect to cult leader Lan. You might want to die, but don’t pull me down with you.”
After saying that, the Skylark Master clasped his fist towards Lan Caidie in a hurry as if he was afraid of causing even the slightest offense. He said politely, “Please forgive my rudeness earlier. I’ll leave right now, and I’ll guarantee that I won’t divulge what happened here to anyone.” As soon as he said that, the Skylark Master vanished; he seemed extremely fearful of Lan Caidie.
