"There's something strange about this volcano," Nangong Lie said slowly as he withdrew his hands.
If this was just an ordinary volcano, with his strength, even if he couldn't directly destroy it, he could at least blast a big hole in it and slowly break through it. But now, this volcano had withstood his full force attack, and apart from shaking violently, it didn't suffer any damage at all.
Hearing Nangong Lie's words, the other person revealed a smug expression and said, "The result of my search for the Firestone will never be wrong. There must be a fire-attributed treasure hidden in this volcano. Furthermore, it is not an ordinary treasure."
The person was Fang Siyuan, a fifth-level Grand Void Realm martial artist. Like Nangong Lie, he was also from the Octagonal Sacred Palace, but he was from the Fang Clan.
In the Octagonal Sacred Palace, there were two clans that specialized in Fire-type Cultivation Methods. One was the Nangong Clan, and the other was the Fang Clan. The difference was that the Nangong Clan was an old clan in the Octagonal Sacred Palace, while the Fang Clan was a new clan.
However, even though the Fang Clan was a new clan and their background was not as strong as the Nangong Clan, they should not be underestimated. This was because the Fang Clan was a loyal supporter of the Sikong Clan. The reason why the Fang Clan was able to become a member of the Octagonal Sacred Palace was because of the Sikong Clan.
As the saying went, two tigers cannot share a mountain. The Nangong Clan and the Fang Clan both specialized in Fire-type Cultivation Methods. Although they were both from the Octagonal Sacred Palace, they did not get along with each other on the surface. No one knew the exact situation.
"The Fang Clan's unique invention, the Seeking Flame Rock, is naturally trustworthy. If we are able to find the treasure this time, Brother Fang will be the one to take credit for it." The other person chuckled, and within his words, there was a hint of flattery.
The person's name was Ma Yuan, and he was also from the Octagonal Sacred Palace. However, he was from the weakest clan in the Octagonal Sacred Palace, the Ma Clan. Although the Ma Clan was also from the Sikong Clan, they were not as trusted as the Fang Clan.
When Fang Siyuan heard this, he nodded with satisfaction. He then turned to Nangong Lie and said, "Brother Nangong, I will take 50% of the treasures. You and Brother Ma will share the remaining 50% equally. I think you have no problem with that, right? After all, if it weren't for my Firestone Cultivation Method, it would not have been easy to find this place. "
Nangong Lie sneered in his heart when he heard this. Do you think that you're insufferably arrogant just because you've latched onto the thigh of the Sikong Clan? "No matter what we get, I want half of it," he said indifferently.
A trace of anger flashed across Fang Siyuan's face as he said in a deep voice, "Nangong Lie, aren't you being a little unreasonable? If you want half, aren't you not giving Brother Ma any benefits?"
Ma Yuan glared at Nangong Lie. Although Nangong Lie was a Level Six Grand Void Stage expert, he and Fang Siyuan were both at Level Five Grand Void Stage. Nangong Lie's actions showed that he did not respect Ma Yuan at all.
Nangong Lie chuckled. "If you think it's not suitable, you might as well give some to Ma Yuan."
"You! If I didn't lead the way, how could you have found this place so easily? "Fang Siyuan questioned.
"If you could easily break through this volcano, you wouldn't have come looking for me." Nangong Lie knew very well that the Nangong Clan and the Sikong Clan were not on good terms. Moreover, the Fang Clan was the Sikong Clan's loyal lackey. If it was not necessary, why would Fang Siyuan seek Nangong Lie's help?
Fang Siyuan was speechless for a moment. Nangong Lie was right. It was impossible for him and Ma Yuan to enter the volcano together. Therefore, they sought Nangong Lie who killed the Flame Demon in the lava and obtained the Fire Crystal. They hoped that the three of them could break through the volcano together.
After a while, Fang Siyuan suppressed his anger and said, "Both our clans cultivate fire-type cultivation methods. Fire-type treasures are very useful to both of us. If that's the case, we'll each take forty percent and give Brother Ma twenty percent. How about that?"
Nangong Lie was about to refuse when Si Yuan said, "If you don't think it's possible, Brother Ma and I will just turn around and leave. I don't think you can do anything to this volcano alone."
After pondering for a while, Nangong Lie nodded slowly and said, "If that's the case, we'll do as you say."
After the three parties discussed the distribution plan, they began to plan how to enter the volcano. They knew that there were treasures inside but they could not find a way to enter. It was really unpleasant.
At this moment, Ma Yuan secretly sent a message to Fang Siyuan, "Brother Fang, the fire-type treasures are not very useful to me. I only want ten percent. The other ten percent is yours."
In order to get on Fang Siyuan's good side, Ma Yuan had put in a lot of effort. The treasures in the sealed area were all extraordinary. Even if he couldn't use them, he could still trade them for items of equal value. But now, he was using them to please Fang Siyuan.
Fang Siyuan was overjoyed when he heard this. He liked people like Ma Yuan who knew how to adapt to circumstances. However, a man who was not content was like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. Even if he took ten percent of Ma Yuan's share, he would only get half of the treasures. Under the influence of greed, Fang Siyuan replied, "Brother Ma, in my opinion, why should we let Nangong Lie take advantage of us? Once we get the treasures later, why don't we work together and kill Nangong Lie … Crack, we'll split the treasures 30-70!"
Ma Yuan was shocked when he heard this. Fang Siyuan was too bold. Nangong Lie was the Third Master of the Nangong Clan. Not only was his strength at the sixth-layer Grand Void Realm, but he also had an extraordinary status in the Nangong Clan. They were both from the Octagonal Sacred Palace, yet Fang Siyuan wanted to fight among themselves?!
"I don't think that's a good idea. After all, we're all from the Octagonal Sacred Palace. If we fall out with each other …" Ma Yuan said hesitantly.
Fang Siyuan smiled viciously and said, "What's there to be afraid of? Let me tell you the truth. The Sikong Clan has long regarded the Nangong Clan as a thorn in their side. Moreover, there have always been three major clans in the Octagonal Sacred Palace. Among the three major clans, the Su Clan is also on the Sikong Clan's side. However, the Nangong Clan doesn't know what's good for them. Only by getting rid of the Nangong Clan can our clan have a chance to become one of the three major clans. Even if we fall out with each other, what can the Nangong Clan do? I'm afraid the Sikong Clan can't wait for them to take the initiative. "
Ma Yuan could not help but feel excited when he heard this. The Nangong Clan was a great resource. If they could really get their hands on the Nangong Clan's resources, their clan would also be able to get a share of the pie. More importantly, if Fang Siyuan was right and the Sikong Clan did not like the Nangong Clan, it might not be a big deal to attack the Nangong Clan.
"Then … I'll leave everything to you, Brother Fang. I think the Fang Clan will become one of the three major clans in the future!" Ma Yuan flattered Fang Siyuan again.
Although Fang Siyuan and Ma Yuan attacked the volcano together with Nangong Lie, they were secretly planning how to attack Nangong Lie later.
