The cultivators who didn't participate in the infighting for various reasons were stunned at this moment. They couldn't help but stretch out their hands to catch the treasures that fell into their hands. As the treasures fell into their hands, the light that enveloped them quietly dissipated, leaving behind jade slips, ancient books, and scrolls.
Looking at the treasures in their hands, some of the disciples who received the rewards couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. This happiness had come too suddenly. Such precious treasures had been obtained so easily. This was something they didn't even dare to think about before.
From the beginning to the end, there were only eleven cultivators who didn't attack, including Lu Xuan, Zhao Bing`er, Leng Qingqiu, and the rogue cultivator who warned them at the beginning. There were many reasons why they didn't participate in the fight. Some of them were observing the situation calmly, some of them felt that their strength wasn't enough, but no matter what, in the eyes of the Ancient Almighty, they didn't have any infighting.
As for Long Ming, he was more unlucky. He originally didn't participate in the infighting, but at the last moment, he made a move to stop everyone from killing each other. Similarly, he was judged to have participated in the infighting. After all, what was left here was something like the Ancient Almighty's array, and he wasn't there personally, so it was impossible to distinguish.
Among these eleven people, Lu Xuan was undoubtedly the lucky one, because there were twelve treasures, but only eleven people, so he alone obtained two treasures. Perhaps it was because he was lucky, or perhaps it was because he had a keepsake with him, but Lu Xuan obtained a jade slip and a scroll, while Zhao Bing`er obtained an ancient book.
At this moment, the power that enveloped everyone suddenly loosened, no longer suppressing their movements, and everyone immediately regained the ability to move.
The disciples who had just been inexplicably happy because they had obtained the treasures suddenly felt a strong sense of danger. When they looked up, they saw that all the martial artists who had not obtained the treasures were all looking at them with scorching eyes. Now that they had obtained the treasures, how could they not become the target of public criticism?
However, the words spoken by the Ancient Almighty Being were still lingering in their ears, and they were unsure whether or not they would be punished by the power left behind by the Ancient Almighty Being if they continued to act. As such, none of them had acted yet, and all of them were hesitating.
There were three disciples in the Jiuhua Alliance who had found the treasures. One of them had a sudden inspiration. He turned to Long Ming and said, "Brother Long, I believe these treasures will contribute greatly to the Sect. It's best if you take care of them."
The other two disciples immediately regained their senses and followed suit. At this moment, they also realized that without sufficient strength, even if they obtained a treasure, they wouldn't be able to truly possess it. Now that they thought about it, they were really stupid to believe Lin Zeyu's slanderous words.
Seeing the Jiuhua Alliance disciple take the lead, the rest of the cultivators began to seek protection. They voluntarily handed over their treasures to the leading disciples of their respective sects. At the very least, if everyone worked together, they might be able to protect their treasures.
Of the twelve treasures, the Profound Ice Pavilion had four, the Jiuhua Alliance three, the Heavenly Thunder Manor one, the Peony Palace two, the Extreme Monarch Sect one, and the Wandering Cultivator disciple one.
The Heavenly Thunder Manor treasure was handed over to Yun Qi. The Peony Palace treasure was under Ruo Xiangyi's control. The Extreme Monarch Sect's treasure naturally fell into Xiang Tao's hands. At this moment, the disciples of the great sects were united like never before. They stood close together, guarding against anyone who would try to steal from them.
For a moment, everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to the Wandering Cultivator disciple. He looked like the easiest to bully. At this moment, the Wandering Cultivator disciple wanted to cry, but no tears came out. He had obtained a treasure with great difficulty, only to find that he couldn't keep it. He couldn't even find someone to protect him. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he resolutely made his choice. He said, "Brother Long, I give this treasure to you!"
In order to save his life, he had to choose someone to compromise with. Since this was the case, he would naturally choose the strongest. He was smart enough not to ask for anything. He knew that Long Ming wasn't a bad person, and wouldn't mistreat him.
Although Long Ming didn't obtain the treasure himself, he had successfully obtained four. This was the benefit of strength!
Long Ming reached out to take the treasure from the Wandering Cultivator disciple. He nodded lightly. "In a moment, when you leave, I will give you a token. You can directly join the Jiuhua Alliance. When we return to the Sect, I will apply for additional compensation for you."
Hearing this, the Wandering Cultivator was overjoyed! A Wandering Cultivator didn't truly want to be a Wandering Cultivator. Who didn't want to rely on a big tree? And the Jiuhua Alliance was one of the few big trees on the Sky Sword Continent! It could be said that he had leapt into the dragon's gate. When he returned to the Jiuhua Alliance, Long Ming would certainly give him a lot of help.
When they heard Long Ming's words, the three Jiuhua Alliance disciples who had just handed him the treasure felt their hearts relax. It seemed that Long Ming wouldn't take everything for himself. If he treated a Wandering Cultivator so generously, he definitely wouldn't mistreat them.
It seemed that aside from the sacrifice of a few cultivators, it was a perfect ending. The large fourth-rank sects only wanted to protect their own treasures. They wouldn't have any thoughts of stealing from others. The Jiuhua Alliance also obtained four treasures. It seemed that Long Ming wasn't the kind of person who wouldn't show mercy when he gained power. All the factions had gained something.
But … they seemed to have forgotten one person, and that was Lin Zeyu!
Although Lin Zeyu belonged to the Jiuhua Alliance, no one would think of him as a member of Long Ming's faction. Long Ming had gained something, but that didn't mean that Lin Zeyu had also gained something. After expending so much effort, in the end, it was all for naught. With Lin Zeyu's personality, how could he accept this?
While everyone was on guard, a black shadow flashed. Lin Zeyu had made his move without any warning. The bold would starve to death, and the cowardly would starve to death. He didn't believe that the ancient powerhouse would interfere at this time!
And Lin Zeyu's target was impressively Leng Qingqiu, who was the furthest away from him!
The factions closest to him were incomparably wary of him. The success rate of his attack wasn't high, and it was extremely likely that Long Ming would interfere. On the contrary, Leng Qingqiu, who was the furthest away from him, was slightly more relaxed. After all, Leng Qingqiu would never have thought that Lin Zeyu would give up what was close at hand and seek what was far away.
Seeing Lin Zeyu attack in an instant, Leng Qingqiu's expression suddenly changed. Her sharp longsword instantly struck out. Even if the opponent was Lin Zeyu, how could Leng Qingqiu sit back and watch him steal her treasure?
"Go back for me!" Leng Qingqiu shouted angrily. Her first move was his strongest move, the Blood Drop Sword Art. A strange and incomparably powerful drilling force swept out along with Yuan Power.
However, Lin Zeyu already knew that he might only have one chance to attack. He didn't leave any leeway when he attacked. A trace of a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth as he said: "You're not qualified!"
The black blade actually broke through Leng Qingqiu's blockade without the slightest obstruction. It seemed that Lin Zeyu's cultivation technique was somewhat special. Leng Qingqiu didn't expect Lin Zeyu to be so strong. In her great shock, she didn't even have the time to launch a second attack. Wan Jianfei, who was behind her, didn't dare to make a move, worried that he would be killed by Lin Zeyu.
Perhaps, Wan Jianfei was happy to see Leng Qingqiu's treasure being taken away. After all, even if the treasure was brought back, it would only belong to Nangong Shuo and Leng Qingqiu. It had nothing to do with him.
Lin Zeyu's sharp blade directly slashed towards Leng Qingqiu's left hand that was holding the treasure. If Leng Qingqiu didn't let go, this arm would definitely be lost! Seeing this scene, Wan Jianfei's eyes couldn't help but light up. He constantly encouraged Lin Zeyu in his heart. It would be best if he crippled Leng Qingqiu in one go. In that case, what could Leng Qingqiu use to compete with him?
But at this critical moment, Leng Qingqiu finally made a difficult choice. In order to save her arm, she threw out the treasure in her hand.
Looking at the treasure flying into the air, Lin Zeyu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "At least you know what's good for you!"
Following that, his figure flashed quickly, directly leaping into the air and snatching the jade slip that Leng Qingqiu threw out.
But before Lin Zeyu could be happy, he felt a strong wind coming from behind him. The attack was fierce, it was truly not ordinary.
Lin Zeyu's expression suddenly changed. He forcefully turned his body to avoid the attack, but the attack behind him changed direction and still attacked him. Coincidentally, it also slashed towards his left hand that was holding the treasure. It was almost exactly the same as the attack he had just dealt with Leng Qingqiu.
It was Long Ming! Lin Zeyu immediately understood whose attack it was. Among everyone present, only Long Ming had the strength to force him into such a situation. If it was a head-on battle, he might be able to exchange a few blows with Long Ming. After all, the strength of both sides were suppressed. But unfortunately, Long Ming had attacked silently, and Lin Zeyu didn't have the slightest ability to resist.
Being forced into a corner, Lin Zeyu couldn't help but let out a furious roar. He threw out the jade slip that he had just received. As expected, the attack behind him immediately disappeared. Long Ming directly caught the jade slip that Lin Zeyu threw out.
"Long Ming!" After Lin Zeyu landed, he roared at Long Ming like a furious lion!
"I said, no matter who has the treasure, I will definitely not let it fall into your hands." Long Ming's low voice sounded. He wanted to teach Lin Zeyu a lesson, without the slightest bit of mercy.
Lin Zeyu was so angry that his hair almost stood up. But what made him very helpless was that facing Long Ming, he didn't have the ability to forcefully snatch it from Long Ming's hands.
Seeing that Long Ming had snatched the treasure back, Leng Qingqiu's eyes couldn't help but light up. She looked at Long Ming expectantly. Unfortunately, she thought too much. Although Long Ming wouldn't forcefully snatch things from the hands of others, he wasn't so pedantic and naive to take away the treasure that he had obtained. Under Leng Qingqiu's expectant gaze, he directly put the jade slip into his storage ring.
Leng Qingqiu didn't dare to challenge Long Ming, but she looked at Lin Zeyu angrily. If it wasn't for Lin Zeyu, the treasure would still be in her hands. Now that Lin Zeyu didn't get any benefits, she lost the treasure, which was actually an advantage for Long Ming.
"Don't look at me like that." Lin Zeyu didn't care about Leng Qingqiu's angry gaze. Instead, he revealed a sinister smile and said: "We shouldn't be enemies. Maybe we should be companions."
"You saw it just now. Snatching things won't attract the reaction of the ancient almighty. But now, both of us don't have any treasures, but there are people who still have quite a few in their hands."
After he finished speaking, Lin Zeyu looked at Lu Xuan and Zhao Bing`er. He couldn't snatch it from Long Ming's hands, but there were only two people, Lu Xuan and Zhao Bing`er. And now, he seemed to be able to have Leng Qingqiu's help …
