Forty percent of the profits might seem like a lot, but it was not unacceptable. Just as Xiao Chen had said, without the Sacred Palace faction, it would be impossible for the Skymist Sect and the Hundred Spirits Sect to occupy the Yin Wind Stone Culvert.
Therefore, there were only two outcomes. The first was that everyone would split the profits together. Regardless of whether it was the Skymist Sect or the Hundred Spirits Sect, they would receive a much smaller share of the profits.
This was the first outcome. As for the second outcome, it would be a life and death struggle. No one wanted the profits and both sides would suffer.
Therefore, the Sacred Palace faction's demand for forty percent was actually not much. Xiao Chen did not wait for Wang Qikun's reply and left after leaving a few words behind.
"Brother Wang, think about it carefully, or you can discuss it with brother Mu. The Sacred Palace faction wants forty percent. As for the remaining sixty percent, I don't care how you split it. These are my conditions. Give me a reply by tomorrow morning."
With that, Xiao Chen disappeared into the darkness with the Qing Emperor and returned to the Sacred Palace faction's encampment.
Watching Xiao Chen's departing figure, Wang Qikun stood in the same spot for a long time. In the end, he chose to look for brother Mu.
He did not care about Wang Qikun and brother Mu's decision. After returning to the Sacred Palace faction's encampment, Xiao Chen told everyone about the battle against the Blackstone Sect the next day. After telling everyone to get ready, Xiao Chen began to regulate his breathing.
There was bound to be a great battle tomorrow. Although the nine great factions were now in an alliance, it would not be easy to defeat the Blackstone Sect. As one of the five great factions that was second only to the main faction, the Blackstone Sect's strength could not be underestimated. Therefore, it was necessary to adjust his condition.
The night was deep, like the calm before the storm. The night seemed to be quieter than usual, and even the sound of the wind seemed to have disappeared.
On such a quiet night, just as the sky was about to brighten, a guest arrived at the Sacred Palace faction's encampment. It was the leader of the Hundred Spirits Sect faction, brother Mu.
Brother Mu personally came to meet with Xiao Chen. The two of them discussed in the tent for a while before Brother Mu left.
After personally seeing Brother Mu off, Xiao Chen stood there with a faint smile on his face. Brother Mu had finally agreed, which was not too different from Xiao Chen's expectations.
As for the final distribution, the Sacred Palace would take forty percent, the Hundred Spirits Sect would take forty percent, and the remaining twenty percent would go to the Skymist Sect.
This distribution plan was acceptable to both the Sacred Palace and the Hundred Spirits Sect, but the Skymist Sect was the only one who would suffer a loss. But what could they do? If they were not strong enough, they could only get a smaller share.
However, while Brother Mu agreed to Xiao Chen's conditions, he also raised his own request. In the battle tomorrow, Xiao Chen would join forces with Brother Mu to deal with the leader of the Blackstone Sect faction, Shi Jintian.
As the leading disciple of the Blackstone Sect, Shi Jintian was ranked sixth among the Prospective Saints of the Heavenly Note Sect. It was said that his cultivation had just broken through to the Perfection of the Dao Emperor Realm a month ago. He was very strong, and Brother Mu alone was not his match. They had to join forces with Xiao Chen to have a chance.
Xiao Chen naturally would not refuse Brother Mu's request. After all, all of this was based on defeating the Blackstone Sect faction.
If they were unable to defeat the Blackstone Sect faction, then everything they had said before would be empty talk, and no one would benefit at that time.
"He just broke through to the peak of the Dao Emperor Stage a month ago?" Xiao Chen muttered softly as his gaze seemed to pierce through the veil of night to look at the Blackstone Sect's encampment in the distance.
The night passed quickly. On the morning of the next day, the nine great sects that were gathered in the valley started to encircle the Blackstone Sect's encampment at the same time.
The disciples of the Blackstone Sect had naturally noticed the movements of the nine great sects. At this moment, Shi Jintian and the other Candidates of the Blackstone Sect had received the news within the enormous wooden house at the end of the encampment.
Including Shi Jintian, a total of eight Candidates of the Blackstone Sect had entered Heavenly Yin Valley.
Merely in terms of numbers alone, the Blackstone Sect had crushed the other sects.
At this moment, the eight of them sat in a circle with Shi Jintian at the seat of the head, and he looked at the seven people below him. Shi Jintian said coldly, "Since they want to court death, then we'll fulfill their wishes. Junior Brothers, remember that the outcome of this battle is actually in our hands."
Shi Jintian had known about the alliance of the nine great sects since the beginning, but he never cared about it. The reason was very simple, it was because he had absolute confidence in the strength of the Blackstone Sect faction.
Even if the nine great sects were to form an alliance, the Blackstone Sect faction would have enough strength to defeat them.
Of course, Shi Jintian's confidence was based on something, but he had overlooked a variable, and that variable was the Sacred Palace faction.
If the Sacred Palace faction had not joined, then the Hundred Spirits Sect and the other great sects would indeed find it difficult to contend with the Blackstone Sect. However, the Blackstone Sect had an overwhelming advantage in the contest of Candidates.
But now that the Sacred Palace faction had also joined the alliance, this situation naturally changed. After all, although the Sacred Palace faction was small in number, they were all elites. It was a pity that Shi Jintian hadn't realized this yet.
Following Shi Jintian's order to prepare for battle, the five hundred disciples of the Blackstone Sect were standing guard in a huge open space at the bottom of the valley outside the Blackstone Sect faction's encampment.
After so many days, the various great sects could be said to be well aware of the situation in the valley. Therefore, the disciples of the nine great sects did not think of launching a sneak attack, because it was impossible.
They surrounded the Blackstone Sect faction from the front, and both sides faced each other. At the same time, Shi Jintian led the seven Candidates of the Blackstone Sect faction to the front of the two factions, and his eyes immediately locked onto brother Mu.
Brother Mu was the leader of the Hundred Spirits Sect, and Shi Jintian naturally knew that brother Mu was the strongest in the training ground, so he naturally paid more attention to him. As for the others, they were directly ignored by Shi Jintian.
"Brother Mu, it seems that you won't give up until you see the coffin. Some things are destined to not belong to you, so you can't force it. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious."
"Shi Jintian, cut the crap. As the saying goes, those who see it have a share. Since we've all seen the Yin Wind Stone Culvert, let's split it."
With Xiao Chen by his side, brother Mu was much more confident. He was indeed no match for Shi Jintian in a one-on-one fight, but with Xiao Chen, brother Mu was at least eighty percent confident that he could defeat Shi Jintian. After all, brother Mu had personally experienced Xiao Chen's strength.
With confidence in his heart, he naturally spoke with a lot more confidence. However, Shi Jintian's face darkened when he heard brother Mu's words, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
