At the start, the two were the most worried about him. The straw-caped old man's combat prowess was not much weaker than theirs. Hence, Yang Kai's first goal was to kill this person. Unexpectedly, he still managed to fool them.
If Yang Kai really fought with Xiao Chen, the one who would benefit in the end would be this old man. Perhaps all the treasures would end up in this person's hands.
Thinking of this, Yang Kai could not help feeling a chill down his spine.
"You've really hidden yourself well!"
Yang Kai said through clenched teeth.
The straw-caped old man smiled and said, "This old man has lived for more than eight hundred years. What kind of tricks have I not seen before? You are far from being able to scheme against me. Do you think that I did not notice the little tricks you used to communicate with this baldy on the way here? "
Then, the straw-caped old man changed the topic and said indifferently, "However, it is good now. With a large group of people gone, we will be able to split more things. Humans should not be too greedy. Young man, don't you think so? "
The meaning in the old man's words went without saying.
If the two of them did not listen, Xiao Chen would stand on Xiao Chen's side and fight to the death with the two of them. No one would benefit from this.
Yang Kai and Wu Ke exchanged glances and quickly discussed the pros and cons.
Given the strength of Xiao Chen and the straw-caped old man, they would definitely be able to kill one of them if they worked together. If they continued to be stubborn, the losses would outweigh the gains.
The two quickly came to a decision. Yang Kai squeezed out a smile and said, "Senior is right. We should not be too greedy. Let's start splitting now."
"Wait a moment."
Xiao Chen suddenly spoke. Then, he walked over to Dugu Ao's corpse step by step. Dugu Ao was no longer breathing, and his corpse was ice-cold.
The others did not know what Xiao Chen wanted to do. They only saw him cut his palm with his saber, letting drops of blood fall into Dugu Ao's mouth.
As the blood slowly seeped into his body, Dugu Ao's pale complexion slowly turned rosy. In the end, his body completely recovered its vitality.
Dugu Ao was a mixed-blood human and Blood Demon. Like the Blood Sword Sovereign from fifty thousand years ago, he was a mixed-blood.
Vampires had extremely long lifespans and wouldn't die so easily. Not too long after the other party's life force had been extinguished, fresh blood could be used to revive the other party.
This was especially so for Dugu Ao. Xiao Chen had observed him along the way. This person was rather special. Even at the critical moment of the battle, he did not use his Blood Demon's innate talent.
For some reason, he would rather die than use the Blood Race's innate talent. Xiao Chen did not have the time to think about the story behind this. He wanted to save this person because he did not want this person to die too pitifully.
It was just a slight effort, so he wouldn't lose anything.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Dugu Ao opened his eyes. His eyes were scarlet, containing an uncontrollable bloodthirsty murderous intent.
"Die!"
As Dugu Ao spoke coldly, he raised his hand and thrust it at Xiao Chen's chest.
What incredible speed!
Dugu Ao thrust his palm forward like a sharp blade, so fast that there was no sound of wind at all. It was like he instinctively thrust his palm into Xiao Chen's chest, trying to dig out his heart.
Dugu Ao's attack seemed to be even faster than when he was not injured. Fortunately, Xiao Chen's palm was closer to him.
At the critical moment, Xiao Chen took the initiative to strike Dugu Ao's chest, quickly pressing him down.
The blade-like palm stopped about one centimeter away from Xiao Chen's chest, unable to go any further.
Little Yellow Feather, who was circling in the air, looked like a beam of light as it flew over at lightning speed. Little Yellow Feather spread its wings and let out a sharp cry as it glared at Dugu Ao. The flames in its mouth looked like they would spew out at any moment.
Xiao Chen knew that Dugu Ao attacked under the influence of his murderous intent. So, he did not bother with it. He only restrained the other party and waited for Dugu Ao to slowly recover.
"This fellow!"
Seeing Xiao Chen revive Dugu Ao, displeasure flashed in the eyes of Yang Kai, the bald Wu Ke, and the straw-caped old man.
There was no other reason. With one more person, they would have to split the treasures.
The red light in Dugu Ao's eyes slowly faded. That uncontrollable murderous Qi slowly faded away. When Dugu Ao calmed down and saw Xiao Chen's appearance, he was slightly stunned.
After a while, he said, "I owe you a favor."
A favor was the hardest to owe and the hardest to repay.
In this world of cultivators, everyone had their own pride. A favor was more important than the sky. Even a cultivator with a bad reputation would abide by these words.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and did not say anything more. It was just a small effort. Obtaining a favor was pretty good.
Xiao Chen released his hand, no longer restraining the other party. Dugu Ao stood up and looked at Yang Kai and Wu Ke, who stood side by side. Then, he looked at the straw-caped old man and the corpses littering the burial ground. Then, he roughly guessed what happened after his "death."
As the straw-caped old man looked at Xiao Chen, he narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly. "Unexpectedly, Little Brother still has a pure heart. However, this world is full of ingrates. In the future, if you get bitten by an ingrate, don't regret what you did today."
Dugu Ao's expression froze, and a murderous Qi flashed in his eyes.
Xiao Chen asked indifferently, "Old Sir, are you talking about me? I should say that I am definitely talking about myself. If I were not an ingrate, how could I have lived for more than eight hundred years with the cultivation of the Blue Robed Emperor? If I were not an ingrate, how could I be afraid of death, not even daring to undergo my Great Tribulation of wind and fire?
"Ingrates are indeed despicable. However, having an excuse to be an ingrate because there are ingrates in the world is even more despicable."
Xiao Chen's words were like a knife stabbing into the straw-caped old man's heart, pricking the most sensitive part of his heart.
Even with eight hundred years of self-restraint, the straw-caped old man could not endure it. His lips trembled as he roared, "You are seeking death!"
The straw-caped old man unleashed his aura, completely unleashing his horrifying cultivation. His heavy aura was like a huge mountain pressing towards Xiao Chen.
The old man quickly swung his fishing rod, following this aura. The barbed hook silently flew towards Xiao Chen's throat.
Xiao Chen reacted quickly. He pointed at the air, and a cold light flickered on his fingertip. Then, he pressed down heavily, shattering this faint but fatal fishing hook.
A cold light flashed in the straw-caped old man's eyes. He pushed off the ground and sent a palm strike at Xiao Chen. "Boom! Boom!
Boom! "
The old man's palm strike brought out his vast and heavy cultivation to its fullest. As he flew through the air, his aura was no weaker than that of the half-step Emperor Wu.
Such a scene startled Yang Kai and Wu Ke. Fortunately, they did not attack Xiao Chen earlier.
Given the straw-caped old man's strength, it would not be a problem for him to launch a sneak attack and injure the two of them in an instant.
"If you want to play for real, I'll play with you."
Xiao Chen stabbed the Lunar Shadow Saber into the ground and raised his hand to execute the Thousand Year Death. Petals flew everywhere, and a blood moon filled the air.
Every petal contained Xiao Chen's grief and worry. The force in his palm strike was endless, showing only the sorrow of separation and no joy.
"Bang!"
The two palms clashed. Relying on his advantage in Martial Techniques, Xiao Chen fought the straw-caped old man, who had a much higher cultivation, to a draw.
The straw-caped old man's heart trembled. The other party's grief silently seeped into his heart.
Scenes of cruel memories from a long time flashed in his mind.
The straw-caped old man, whose Law Energy was denser and surged, was the first to retreat in this clash of palm strikes. After he stood still, he no longer dared to make a move.
This brat is not easy to deal with, either!
The Thousand Year Death completely exposed Xiao Chen's strength. Now, Yang Kai and Wu Ke no longer dared to underestimate Xiao Chen.
"Never mind. So many people have died already. There is no need to make a big fuss. Let's split the treasures first."
Yang Kai, who had single-handedly orchestrated this tragedy, acted as a peacemaker and spoke in a dignified manner.
Xiao Chen scattered his palm strike and grasped the Lunar Shadow Saber once more. Then, he looked coldly at the straw-caped old man and did not say anything more. Now that the straw-caped old man had a way out of this embarrassing situation, he did not continue to argue and calmed down again.
The treasures started to be split. There were more than twenty-five thousand Essence Stones. The five of them split them equally, leaving Xiao Chen with five thousand.
For some reason, Dugu Ao did not say anything. He directly handed his share to Xiao Chen, not taking a single Essence Stone for himself.
This action upset Yang Kai and Wu Ke. However, they could not afford to fall out with each other now.
If they made a move on Xiao Chen and Dugu Ao, not to mention what kind of price they would have to pay, they would have to pay. In order to protect himself, the straw-caped old man would definitely not let the two of them succeed. No matter how he thought about it, there was no chance.
As for the Dragon Race Secret Treasures, Dugu Ao gave his share to Xiao Chen.
As for the complete True Dragon Remains, due to mutual distrust, no one agreed to let a single person keep it and split it after they got out. They could only dismantle it and distribute it to everyone.
Given this, Xiao Chen obtained ten thousand Essence Stones, three peak-quality Dragon Race King Grade Secret Treasures, and a set of True Dragon remains.
Xiao Chen was the one with the greatest harvest on this trip. Furthermore, he had obtained a hundred Dragon Blood Flowers from the Dragon Blood Tree earlier. It could be said to be a great harvest.
Yang Kai and Wu Ke had tried their best, but their gains were still not as good as Xiao Chen's. They were furious, but there was nothing they could do.
"I believe you all can tell that although this is a burial ground, the master of the dragon grave is not buried here. There are even greater benefits ahead. Should we work together to explore the depths of this dragon grave? "
Yang Kai suggested, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.
The straw-caped old man was very shrewd with age. He remained expressionless and did not say anything. Clearly, he was waiting for Xiao Chen to speak. If Xiao Chen did not agree, the straw-caped old man absolutely would not travel with these two half-step Emperor Wu.
Xiao Chen thought to himself, This dragon grave is extraordinary. The powerful killing move that Qing Emperor left behind is the best proof.
Reason told Xiao Chen to quit while he was ahead. That was the best decision.
However, the curiosity in Xiao Chen's heart was somewhat hard to quench. What kind of situation caused the Qing Emperor to leave behind a killing move and leave quietly?
If Xiao Chen left just like that, he would not be able to solve this mystery for a long time. Just thinking about it was unfortunate.
Fortunately, Xiao Chen was not a wishy-washy person. He quickly made up his mind and said, "There is no harm in going and taking a look."
If one did not figure out some things, one would not be at peace. Xiao Chen knew what kind of person he was. If he did not go and take a look, he would not give up.
