"As a Yao cultivator, it's best if you don't speak at a time like this!"
Yunzhenzi's cold gaze swept over Ying Fei, containing a hint of threat and warning.
"What's wrong with being a Yao cultivator?"
Gu Zheng suddenly spoke up. When Yunzhenzi's gaze landed on him, he spoke again. "No matter what his identity is, at least we've worked together before on this matter. Senior is Jiang Tiancheng's master, so you shouldn't be unaware of this matter, right?"
No matter how much Feng Weikong reminded him, Gu Zheng had his own way of doing things! If Yunzhenzi didn't go overboard, then it wouldn't be a big deal to suffer a loss in the distribution of the treasures. However, Yunzhenzi's request for the treasures to be handed over was clearly an indication that he, Yunzhenzi, was going to take the lion's share of the treasures this time. Moreover, he was the one who picked the 'meat' and left the 'soup' behind. This was something Gu Zheng couldn't accept. He had paid a lot for this final treasure, and even the Artifact Spirit was still in a deep slumber.
"Brat, be clear of your identity. Do you know who you're talking to?"
Yunzhenzi didn't even say a word before Jiang Tiancheng exploded. His ferocious gaze was like that of a vicious dog.
Yunzhenzi sized up Gu Zheng from head to toe, then smiled. "You're indeed working together, but that cooperation was limited to getting rid of the Corpse Spirit. Now that the Corpse Spirit has been eliminated, the cooperation is naturally over."
Yunzhenzi's voice paused, and the smile on his face turned cold. "It's because you've worked together with my disciple that I didn't do anything to this Little Goblin. Similarly, I don't plan on doing anything to you! However, if you want me to do something to satisfy you, then I can do something to you! "
"Brat Bai, don't be so embarrassed. Among cultivators, the strong preys on the weak. You should understand this principle!" Feng Weikong transmitted his voice to Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng ignored Feng Weikong. He looked at Yunzhenzi with a serious expression and said, "No matter what, we've all paid a lot to obtain the final treasure. I want to know, Senior, how do you plan on distributing the treasures?"
"Distribute?"
Jiang Tiancheng laughed. He looked at Gu Zheng as if he was looking at a fool.
"It seems like I haven't met such an interesting junior in many years!"
True Cloud smiled as well, but everyone could tell that his self-control had reached its limit.
"Since you want to know how to distribute it, I'll tell you."
Yunzhen spoke again. Killing intent appeared in his eyes as he looked at Gu Zheng. "I must obtain the core of the Skull Palace. As for the other resources, I will take 70% of them. The remaining 30% will belong to you."
"Alright, let's do as Senior says!"
Feng Weikong hurriedly opened his mouth. For True Cloud to be able to offer a 30: 70 split in such a situation, it could already be considered a very good thing.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, even though a 30: 70 split is indeed a headache, who asked him to be a Quasi-Sage whose strength can crush us? Don't be impulsive in this matter! Looking at it from another perspective, 30% of the final treasure is enough for us to make a fortune! "Ying Fei transmitted his voice to Gu Zheng.
"30: 70, what a big tone!"
Gu Zheng's sudden angry shout gave everyone a fright. He looked at True Cloud with a playful gaze. "The final treasure is in my body. Do you want to take a look?"
Gu Zheng's temper had already risen. If True Cloud said 40: 60, then even if he suffered a loss, this matter would be over. Since True Cloud wanted to take 70% of the treasure, Gu Zheng also wanted to see if he dared to take it!
True Cloud frowned. He didn't think that Gu Zheng, who could survive until now in the Skull Palace, would be a reckless brat. Gu Zheng's words and the look in his eyes made True Cloud feel that this matter wasn't so simple!
However, a Quasi-Sage was still a Quasi-Sage. When one's strength reached a certain level, there were many things that one didn't need to be overcautious about. Since Gu Zheng wanted him to inspect his body, then there was no harm in doing so!
True Cloud sent out a portion of his divine sense. This was the first time Gu Zheng allowed an outsider to inspect his body without any reservation. This was also a method of cutting off all means of retreat.
What was in Gu Zheng's body? There was Gokusen's Token in his body. Although it had entered his body and turned invisible, True Cloud was a Quasi-Sage. Gu Zheng knew that he would definitely discover the existence of Gokusen's Token.
Gu Zheng wasn't an inflexible person. Although he didn't want to rely on Gokusen, who asked Gokusen to be his master? In this sort of situation, if he didn't gamble, then he would only be bullied by others and be slaughtered for the treasures he risked his life to obtain. This was something that Gu Zheng didn't want. After all, the artifact spirit had fallen into a deep slumber during this process. If he took too few treasures this time, then not only would he feel sorry for himself, he would also feel sorry for the artifact spirit!
The first thing that Yunzhen Zi noticed when his divine sense probed a person's body was the abnormality of Gu Zheng's dantian. It was not an ordinary ball of immortal energy. It was an unprecedented Five Elements Immortal Ball. All of these shocked him!
"This brat is a genius. How did he cultivate these things?"
True Cloud was shocked. He immediately inspected Gu Zheng's mind. As soon as his divine sense entered Gu Zheng's mind, he immediately discovered something different. There was a light spot in Gu Zheng's mind.
"Super Space Fairy Weapon!"
True Cloud was shocked again. A super Space Fairy Weapon was a treasure that even he didn't have. However, Gu Zheng wasn't afraid to show it to him. What did this mean?
"What's this?"
True Cloud was shocked again. As he inspected the light spot, he immediately sensed a special aura.
"This is the aura of a Divine Immortal!"
True Cloud was completely shocked. A super Space Fairy Weapon with the aura of a Divine Immortal was no ordinary super Space Fairy Weapon.
Ordinary super Space Fairy Weapons would only contain the aura of their owner. No matter who its previous owner was, once it had a new owner, the aura of the previous owner would no longer remain.
However, a super Space Fairy Weapon with the aura of a Divine Immortal was an exception. This was because this super Space Fairy Weapon was personally forged by a Divine Immortal, and the Divine Immortal was still alive.
After confirming that the aura of the super Space Fairy Weapon was without a doubt the aura of a Divine Immortal, True Cloud was a little scared. As a Quasi-Sage, he knew that a person who could own a super Space Fairy Weapon personally forged by a Divine Immortal was undoubtedly a disciple of a Divine Immortal. Moreover, only disciples who were highly valued by a Divine Immortal would be given a super Space Fairy Weapon personally forged by them.
With a hint of fear, True Cloud immediately withdrew his divine sense from Gu Zheng's body.
"Master, how is it?"
Jiang Tiancheng immediately asked. After all, it was strange that Gu Zheng asked True Cloud to inspect his body.
True Cloud didn't have time to answer Jiang Tiancheng. With a wave of his hand, he created an Immortal Array that enveloped him and Gu Zheng.
"So you're a disciple of a Divine Immortal. My apologies! I'm the Heavenly Elder of the Sky Billow Sect, True Cloud. "
In the space where only the two of them were present, True Cloud immediately changed his expression and cupped his fists toward Gu Zheng.
Although True Cloud was a Quasi-Sage, there was still a big gap between him and a Divine Immortal. Although a Quasi-Sage could become a Divine Immortal as long as he had the opportunity to prove his Dao, almost all cultivators knew that this opportunity was close to zero. This was because there were only ten Divine Immortal positions. As long as a Divine Immortal didn't fall, it was almost impossible for another Divine Immortal to appear.
"Well said. Since you already know my identity, you can decide how to distribute it."
Gu Zheng didn't even bother cupping his fists. Since True Cloud knew that he was a disciple of a Divine Immortal, he naturally had to have the pride of a Divine Immortal's disciple.
True Cloud heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Gu Zheng didn't have any intention of blaming him. Although Divine Immortals rarely interfered in worldly affairs, it was better to be careful when it involved a personal disciple that they valued. Moreover, it was best to befriend such a person. Even if he couldn't, he shouldn't leave a bad impression.
True Cloud cupped his fists at Gu Zheng again and became closer to him. "Although Fellow Daoist Bai doesn't blame me for what happened before, I still have to apologize again."
"As an apology, Fellow Daoist Bai will take seventy percent of the treasures and I'll take thirty percent. How about that?" True Cloud said sincerely.
"Sure."
Gu Zheng accepted True Cloud's proposal. He didn't return the favor like True Cloud had done before and asked for the right to choose first. After all, it would be bullying to ask for the right to choose first. No matter what, Yunzhen Zi was still a Quasi-Sage. After knowing Gu Zheng's identity, he was afraid of Gu Zheng's identity as a disciple of a Sage Immortal. He had already lowered his attitude and apologized. Therefore, Gu Zheng didn't want to go too far.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Bai."
True Cloud cupped his fists at Gu Zheng again. He was the one who asked for the right to choose first, so he knew that it was already good enough that Gu Zheng didn't mention it again.
"However, the seventy percent you mentioned before isn't me taking seventy percent. My companions will share the seventy percent!" Gu Zheng said.
"Fellow Daoist Bai is righteous!"
True Cloud gave Gu Zheng a thumbs up and then said with a troubled expression, "Fellow Daoist Bai, there's something I have to get rid of. It's the core of the Skull Palace! The Skull Palace is a top-grade demonic artifact. After all, its owner will be influenced by it and fall into the demonic path. Fellow Daoist Bai, you're a disciple of a Divine Immortal. You wouldn't want this demonic artifact, right? "
True Cloud didn't care about the treasures in the treasury, but he had to destroy the core of the Skull Palace. This was his ultimate goal in coming to the Skull Palace.
"Alright."
Gu Zheng nodded again and said, "There are two things. First, your Sky Billow Sect and the Heavenly Profound Sect are of the same origin. You've seen what happened to Lang Feng because of this matter. I hope you can cure him after we leave. With your Quasi-Sage strength, it shouldn't be difficult to cure him, right? "
"Of course it's not difficult. Even if Fellow Daoist Bai didn't ask, I wouldn't leave that kid alone! What's the second thing? "True Cloud asked.
"The second thing is about my identity. I think you know that it's not convenient for me to reveal it, so don't tell anyone else." Gu Zheng said.
"Understood!"
True Cloud replied. Seeing that Gu Zheng had nothing else to say, he immediately put away the immortal formation and the two of them appeared in front of everyone again.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, what happened?"
Seeing that Gu Zheng appeared safe and sound, Lu Piaoxiang immediately asked through voice transmission.
"It's nothing."
Gu Zheng smiled at Lu Piaoxiang and took out the treasure chest.
Seeing that Gu Zheng took out the treasure chest, the originally suspicious Jiang Tiancheng immediately smiled. "I thought it was very hard. Didn't you obediently take it out in the end?"
Facing Jiang Tiancheng's smiling face, Gu Zheng's smile was somewhat mocking. Yunzhenzi immediately made his move and knocked Jiang Tiancheng's head.
"Ouch!"
Jiang Tiancheng cried out without exaggeration. A Quasi-Sage's strike was delicious.
"Master …"
"No one will think you're mute if you don't speak!"
Before the confused Jiang Tiancheng could ask, True Cloud interrupted him and gave him a fierce glare.
Gu Zheng opened the golden chest in front of everyone. The first thing that entered everyone's eyes was an exquisite building that was exactly the same as the Skull Palace. It was the core of the Skull Palace. As long as it recognized its master, they would obtain the Skull Palace, a top-grade demonic tool.
Below the core of the Skull Palace was a layer of jade slips. Although they hadn't looked at the contents of the jade slips, everyone knew that they should contain information about refining corpses.
After Gu Zheng took out the core of the Skull Palace and the jade slips, the bottom layer shone with the light of treasures.
All kinds of gems filled the chest. Some of these gems were rare refining materials, some could be used to set up immortal transportation formations, and some could be used to make formation tools.
Gu Zheng also cleared out the gems. The bottom layer was filled with jade bottles. Some of these bottles contained pills, while others contained precious materials for refining corpses.
Below the jade bottles was the last layer of the treasure chest. There were ten storage belts neatly placed below.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, your and Fellow Daoist True Cloud's goal is to destroy the Skull Palace and the inheritance of the Thousand Corpse Fiend. Since your goals are the same, I'll leave the core of the Skull Palace and these jade slips to you and Fellow Daoist True Cloud to deal with. What do you think?"
Gu Zheng's words caused Lu Piaoxiang's eyes to widen. She was very curious about what had happened between the two of them in the immortal formation set up by True Cloud! Why did Gu Zheng dare to say something like this, and why didn't True Cloud have any objections?
"Yes, yes!"
Lu Piaoxiang stuttered, but Gu Zheng's next words almost made her jaw drop.
"As for the rest of the items in the treasure chest, we'll take seventy percent, and True Cloud's group will take thirty percent. There's no need to pick and choose. There are ten storage belts, and no one knows what's inside. True Cloud will take three, and the other seven will belong to us. We'll split the gems 30-70, and the pills in the bottles will also be split 30-70. As for the corpse refining materials, we'll just destroy them. "
Lu Piaoxiang wasn't the only one who was shocked, everyone was. After all, no one had thought that things would take such a turn.
"Master!"
Jiang Tiancheng couldn't take it anymore. He really wanted to know why the original 30-70 split had become like this.
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Jiang, didn't you say that after this matter is over, we'll find a place to spar? Now that the matter is more or less settled, don't forget what you said! "Gu Zheng sneered.
"You said you wanted to spar with Fellow Daoist Bai?"
Before Jiang Tiancheng could say anything, True Cloud frowned and looked at Jiang Tiancheng.
True Cloud actually lowered his status and called Gu Zheng a Fellow Daoist, causing Jiang Tiancheng's heart to tremble. His original unwillingness instantly turned into fear!
"Could it be that this Bai Daoist is actually an old monster of the quasi-sage level? Otherwise, with Master's arrogance, how could he call a brat as an equal? "
Jiang Tiancheng was lost in thought when Yunzhenzi knocked him on the forehead again.
"I'm asking you a question!" True Cloud said sternly.
"Hehe."
Jiang Tiancheng smiled in embarrassment. Then, he said with a serious expression, "Why would I want to spar with Senior Bai? I was just joking with Senior Bai before. "
The serious expression on his face instantly turned into an apologetic smile. Jiang Tiancheng looked at Gu Zheng and said, "Senior Bai, you didn't take my previous joke seriously, did you?"
"Hmph."
Gu Zheng smiled and didn't say anything else.
"Master, what's going on here? Is Senior Bai a quasi-sage? Why didn't you tell me earlier? "
Jiang Tiancheng couldn't help but ask True Cloud via sound transmission.
"If I told you earlier, how could Fellow Daoist Bai vent his anger? Wouldn't it be better to let him vent his anger and forget about the conflict between the two of you? "True Cloud said indifferently.
"Since Fellow Daoist Bai wants me to pick first, I won't hold back," True Cloud said.
With a flick of his sleeve, three storage belts flew into his hand.
Then, the two sides began to distribute the items.
"What … what should I call you? Senior Bai? "Lu Piaoxiang asked Gu Zheng via sound transmission.
Lu Piaoxiang wasn't someone who liked to pry into other people's secrets, but she was really conflicted about how to address Gu Zheng.
"Why call me Senior Bai? Just call me Fellow Daoist Bai!"
Gu Zheng smiled. He knew that Lu Piaoxiang thought he was an old monster of the quasi-sage level, but he didn't expose her.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, I'll take Lang Feng to treat his injuries first. After you finish distributing the items, we'll leave this palace of skeletons."
True Cloud took Lang Feng and Jiang Tiancheng away, leaving Gu Zheng and the others to distribute the items.
Gu Zheng said, "Alright, now we're the only ones left. Let's distribute the remaining items."
Lu Piaoxiang was the first to speak. "In the end, it's all thanks to Fellow Daoist Bai that we're able to leave behind so many things. I think we should each take one of the seven storage belts. The rest will belong to Fellow Daoist Bai. What do you all think?"
If it was before, Feng Weikong might have said that Lu Piaoxiang was biased towards outsiders. But now, he was the first to nod.
"Little girl is right. This time, it's all thanks to Fellow Daoist Bai."
Feng Weikong was, after all, much more experienced than Lu Piaoxiang. Although he wasn't sure what happened in the immortal array, he was sure that Gu Zheng wasn't a quasi-sage. So, he still called him Fellow Daoist Bai.
"I also agree with Fellow Daoist Lu's suggestion. This time, it's all thanks to Fellow Daoist Bai!"
Ying Fei also spoke. He also called Gu Zheng "Fellow Daoist". This made Gu Zheng feel a lot more comfortable. After all, he didn't want these people who had gone through life and death with him to have unnecessary fear towards him because of what happened in the immortal array.
No one would complain about having too many treasures. Gu Zheng also understood that Lu Piao Xiang and the others were speaking from the bottom of their hearts, so there was no need to be pretentious. Everyone quickly distributed the treasures and conveniently left a portion for Lang Feng.
"After going through so many hardships, I finally got my reward. Let me see what's in this storage belt!" The excited Ying Fei claimed ownership of the storage belt.
