The underground palace wasn't small, and the commotion caused by the fight had attracted everyone's attention. Yi Tian was the first to arrive. After looking around, he had a plan in mind.
Not long after, a few spiritual pressure fluctuations came from the surroundings. The expressions of the three were very different. Fei Qingjie still had a nervous look. Perhaps it was because he was unhappy that the people from the Tianli Sect had interfered in this matter. Furthermore, he was about to face the mid-stage Yuanying Xiahou Cangqiong, so he had no confidence.
As for Mao Butong, he looked relaxed. This time, they had caught the mantis stalking the cicada. Now that they were meeting in the deepest part of the secret vault, they should at least get half of it.
Yi Tian, on the other hand, did not show any signs of worry or joy. He only frowned slightly. He used his divine sense to check the surroundings, but he did not find any trace of the Zhengyuan Sect.
However, he secretly thought to himself, 'I wonder what the Zhengyuan Sect is up to. They are hiding in the back and not showing themselves. Could it be that they really want to catch the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind? The funny thing is that the two from the Tianli Sect thought that they had caught the mantis stalking the cicada, but they never expected that they would be targeted as well.'
After carefully recalling the Zhengyuan Sect's words, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. He seemed to be here to hunt down the Zhengyuan Sect's Fei Qingjie. From the looks of it, he could make use of the intricate relationships in this place.
After a short while, two figures arrived one after the other. At that moment, the five of them were divided into three groups. Other than Yi Tian, the other two groups looked at each other with unfriendly expressions.
Suddenly, Mao Butong broke the silence. "Since the three of you are here, why don't we just open the treasury? As for the treasures inside, our Tianli Sect will only take two portions based on the number of people present. How about that?"
The moment he said that, Fei Qingjie snorted coldly. Before he could reply, Hua Renxiong said, "There are only three portions of treasures inside. Isn't your Tianli Sect's plan a little too overbearing?"
When Xiahou Cangqiong heard this, he was delighted instead of being angry. His gaze swept past Hua Renxiong as he said directly, "So fellow Daoist Hua is a descendant of the Li Fire Sect. It's no wonder you know the ins and outs of the Li Fire Sect. In that case, how about my Justice Sect only take one item?"
Hearing this, Hua Renxiong's face showed a thoughtful expression, but when he glanced at Fei Qingjie and Yi Tian, he couldn't make up his mind. Shaking his head, he said, "I will only take the ancestral relic. As for the other two items, I have no objections."
Fei Qingjie's face showed a little displeasure when he heard this. He did not expect Hua Renxiong to act as if it had nothing to do with him. Then, with a ruthless expression, he opened his mouth and said, "Do you think you'll be able to uncover the secret compartment by scheming like this? You have to know that the Li Fire Token is in my hands, and to open it, I need Brother Yi to break the seal first. It's really unfair for the three of you to enjoy two portions of the treasures without doing anything. "
After saying that, Fei Qingjie moved his feet and his figure flashed to Yi Tian's side. He reached out his hand and held the Li Fire Token tightly as he looked at the three of them with a playful look.
As such, Hua Renxiong's face turned interesting. To be honest, he was only providing information. To break the seal and take the treasures, he still had to rely on the two people in front of him. However, the ancestral relic in the secret compartment was too important to him. He was unwilling to give it up.
Xiahou Cangqiong's lips moved slightly, as if he was secretly transmitting a voice message to Hua Renxiong. The latter's face immediately showed some hesitation after hearing this. After struggling for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and slowly walked to Xiahou Cangqiong's side.
Seeing this, Fei Qingjie's face changed drastically. He said to Hua Renxiong, "Mr. Hua, why are you doing this? We may not lose even if it's three against two. What's more, can you guarantee that the Justice Church will leave the ancestral relic to you after the secret compartment is opened?"
Without waiting for Hua Renxiong to speak, Xiahou Cangqiong directly took out three storage bracelets and threw them to Hua Renxiong, "Mr. Hua, this is the deposit. After the matter is done, you can take back the ancestral relic."
Hua Renxiong took the three storage bracelets and checked them with his Divine Thought. His face suddenly showed a little joy, then he said in a deep voice, "Since Mr. Xiahou is so generous, it would be impolite to refuse. As for the key to open the secret compartment, you need two keys, and I happen to have one. "After saying that, he took out a similar Li Fire Token, but this token looked slightly different from the one in Fei Qingjie's hand.
Yi Tian used his Divine Thought to scan the Li Fire Tokens in Fei Qingjie and Hua Renxiong's hands respectively, and a playful sneer appeared on his face. This matter wasn't so simple. It seemed that it was unknown how this matter would develop.
After thinking for a moment, he directly said, "Since you've divided it, I won't disturb you. Mr. Fei, you can forget about this trip to the secret compartment." After saying that, he turned and walked to the side of the passage.
"Mr. Yi, please wait," Fei Qingjie said with an anxious expression, "Brother Yi, do you really think you can escape unscathed? In this situation, there is a glimmer of hope if we cooperate, but if we don't, we will be in a difficult situation. Please reconsider."
"Oh, is that so?" Yi Tian stopped and said with assurance, "I think that if nothing unexpected happens, Fellow Daoist Fei should be prepared to take out the items in the hidden treasury and leave. After all, the fact that you betrayed the Righteous Path Alliance is something that can't be hidden forever."
When Fei Qingjie heard this, his face turned pale with fright. His mouth trembled as he said, "How did you know I was going to betray the Righteous Path Alliance? Are you also a member of the Righteous Path Alliance's Disciplinary Hall?"
"The Righteous Path Alliance actually has such a component. This name sounds like a sect's law enforcement team." The corner of Yi Tian's mouth twitched as he continued, "Unfortunately, I am not a member of the Righteous Path Alliance. As for how I know about your situation …"
Before Fei Qingjie could finish his sentence, a streak of fiery light shot into the cave and appeared behind him in an instant. Then, a large flaming hand reached out and grabbed Fei Qingjie's neck, lifting him up.
A scorching flame shot out from the hand and directly swallowed Fei Qingjie's figure. The entire process happened in one breath. Fei Qingjie didn't even have time to cry for help. After ten breaths of time, he was burned alive into a pile of ashes.
After the flame swept past, the Li Fire Token that was originally on him was also taken away. After a while, the flame slowly disappeared, revealing a middle-stage Yuanying cultivator wearing a mask.
The situation instantly became one-sided. Xiahou Cangqiong's eyes were filled with fear as he stared at that person and said, "So it's the Righteous Path Alliance Master who came personally. I, Xiahou Cangqiong, greet you."
Unexpectedly, the Righteous Path Alliance Master didn't answer. He pointed at Hua Renxiong and said, "You abandoned disciple, you actually dare to covet the sect's secret compartment. You really don't know what's good for you. For the sake of your ancestor, as long as you hand over the Li Fire Token, I can let you live."
