Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 903 Equally divided
Zeng Zhilong had to pause his efforts to subdue the sword embryo at this time. He stared at Ye Xuan with flickering eyes and a slightly gloomy expression.

"According to the intelligence, the people from the Yinsha Sect should join forces with the Mangui Sect to deal with the Xuanyun Sect. Why is Ye Xuan here? Could it be that he escaped the pursuit?" A series of questions flashed through Zeng Zhilong's mind, but he did not think about it too much, because it was no longer important. What he needed to consider now was how to deal with Ye Xuan.

If he hadn't been suppressing the sword embryo, everything would be fine. A saint could be crushed to death with a single blow, but now...

Zeng Zhilong subconsciously glanced at the sword embryo in front of him who was still struggling to escape from his suppression. His brows were slightly furrowed, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

Feeling the inquiring gazes of the three elders, Zeng Zhilong's eyes twitched slightly. He looked up at the poison vine beasts that were constantly coming out from the walls of the cave, then looked at the place where the poison vine that was forced back by Ye Xuan just now disappeared, and then his gaze fell back on Ye Xuan who was looking at him, his expression changing constantly.

But after just a few breaths, he seemed to have made a ruthless decision. With a flickering gaze, he looked at Ye Xuan and said, "Friend Ye, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"Hmm?" Ye Xuan was secretly sizing up the other party and assessing the situation. Hearing what the other party said, he was slightly stunned, then his eyes flashed and he said, "Senior Zeng, please speak."

Zeng Zhilong smiled and said slowly, "I guess Mr. Ye is here for this sword embryo too?"

Ye Xuan was a little confused about the other party's purpose, but since the other party asked so directly, he did not intend to be hypocritical and cover it up. He just nodded slightly and said: "Such a treasure, I naturally want to get it."

Hearing what he said, the faces of the three Saint Realm elders of Qianxingmen darkened.

Zeng Zhilong looked normal. After a brief pause, he said calmly, "This treasure has no owner. Anyone who is capable can get it. If conditions permit, it's fine for you and me to have a fair fight. But the situation here is dangerous. I think Ye Xiaoyou knows that if you take action now while we are divided, I'm afraid both of us will suffer in the end. If something unexpected happens in the middle of the process, it may lead to serious consequences that we don't want to see."

Ye Xuan also understood the other party's words "both sides will suffer losses". Now that Zeng Zhilong was suppressing the sword embryo, he could not spare much strength to deal with him.

However, he was concerned about the dangerous environment here. After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "What do you want?"

"Since neither you nor I want to cause any more accidents, why not resolve it peacefully? How about this sword embryo, you and I each have half?"

Zeng Zhilong's answer made Ye Xuan unable to help but be stunned. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Half for each?"

"That's right, half for each of us." Zeng Zhilong nodded and said, "This sword embryo is a divine weapon sword embryo. Even if it is divided into two halves, it still has astonishing power. Whether it is a recast divine sword or a finished holy sword, it is no weaker than a top-grade holy weapon. I am satisfied. What do you think, little friend Ye?"

Ye Xuan was a little surprised that the other party actually made such a friendly and peaceful suggestion. However, after a little thought, he also understood that the other party made this decision mostly because he had no choice. Because he did not want to take risks, he chose to reluctantly give up half of the sword embryo.

“Elder Zeng…”

Before Ye Xuan replied, the three Saint Realm elders could not help but reveal their unwillingness. In their opinion, they had been here for more than a day and had painstakingly cleared most of the dangers here. Now that the Sword Embryo was about to be subdued, Ye Xuan suddenly barged in and wanted to get a piece of the pie. This was totally intolerable.

But before they could raise any objections, Zeng Zhilong stopped them with his eyes. They had no choice but to remain silent and just looked at Ye Xuan with unfriendly eyes.

Ye Xuan ignored the gazes of the three people, thought about it for a moment, and said to Zeng Zhilong: "Okay, I accept your proposal."

Since neither side wants to take risks, it is obviously impossible to get the entire sword embryo. So as a second best option, half for each person may be a suitable choice.

"Okay! Then we will each refine the sword embryos and not interfere with each other. Please, Mr. Ye!" Zeng Zhilong's eyes flashed with light, and without any delay, he raised his hand and saw that the sword embryo phantom trapped in the tornado in front of him was suddenly split into two. Then the tornado shook slightly, allowing one half to break free and fly out.

Ye Xuan's eyes flashed.

"Thank you!" After saying that, Ye Xuan then grabbed in the air with his right hand, and the Heavenly Star True Flame beside him split into a ball and turned into a flaming palm that flew out and grabbed the running sword embryo. Then he did not grab the sword embryo back to him, but flew up and came close to the sword embryo wrapped in the spiritual fire.

In this way, he moved away from the entrance passage and came to the side of the cave, facing Zeng Zhilong and others from a distance, and his distance from the exit was about the same as them.

Seeing his action, Zeng Zhilong's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything. He just winked at the three elders around him, and then began to concentrate on refining the remaining half of the sword embryo in front of him.

“Eh? Is that the God-Eating Vine? It seems to be completely rotten…”

After changing his position, Ye Xuan first carefully glanced around, then he was slightly stunned and found that on the side of the cave wall at a circular arc of about 90 degrees on the inside, there was a rotten piece of golden vine leaning diagonally. Before, because of the angle problem when he entered the entrance, and his attention was on Zeng Zhilong and others as well as the sword embryo, he did not notice this, because this piece of rotten vine no longer had any special smell. If you don't see it with your naked eyes, you will mistakenly think it is just an ordinary stone when you scan it with your spiritual sense.

This is the God-Eating Vine mentioned in the Yinsha Sect's secret records. It is about ten feet long and two feet thick, and looks somewhat similar to the poisonous vine in this valley. Although the God-Eating Vine mentioned in the secret records is terrifyingly powerful, there is no sign of that from the piece in front of us, because there is no sense of vitality or danger on it. It is bent and slanted against the wall of the cave, with holes all over it and signs of decay. If there is anything special about it, it is that it is golden all over. It does not look like a plant, but more like a piece of a gold statue.

Ye Xuan couldn't help but wonder if this 'corpse' of the God-Devouring Vine, which had lost all its spiritual energy, still had any value. However, now was not the time to be distracted and study this. The most urgent task was to refine and subdue the sword embryo.

Glancing at Zeng Zhilong and seeing that he had already begun to refine that half of the sword embryo, Ye Xuan's eyes flashed slightly and the corners of his mouth curled up. No one is an idiot. How could a great saint-level strongman really share the treasure with a saint-level strongman?
He had just guessed Zeng Zhilong's plan.
