Chapter 337: Dividing the spoils, careful consideration

The setting sun is like blood.

The vast hills were dyed golden.

Shen Qing and others moved forward without stopping.

"Master Shen." Ah Da lowered his voice and pointed behind him, saying, "They are still following."

Shen Qing did not stop when he heard this, but turned his head slightly and saw the figures following them not far behind.

These martial artists, in groups of three or four, followed them not too far away.

Whenever Shen Qing glanced at them, there was a hint of flattery in their eyes.

Shen Qing sneered in his heart, how could he not know what these people were thinking?
Just now, he killed the eldest young master of the Xue family with a thunderous force, which made him quite a sensation.

After seeing his cultivation and abilities, these people all wanted to join him.

There may be some trustworthy people among these people, but Shen Qing is not very interested in spending time and energy to communicate and accept them, which would only make things difficult for himself.

"Don't worry about them." Shen Qing said lightly.

A Da nodded silently, and without saying anything else, he quickened his pace to follow Shen Qing.

Shen Qing had an idea and wanted to shake off these tails.

He practiced the Great Void Technique, and the spiritual energy in his body surged.

Rays of light burst out from his body and transformed into strands of ribbons that wrapped around Shao Hongling and the other two.

Shen Qing leaped forward, taking Shao Hongling and the other two with him, riding the wind. Their figures soon disappeared among the mountains and fields.

The martial artists following behind him couldn't help but look at each other, the desire in their eyes was gradually replaced by a feeling of uneasiness.

"What should we do next?" someone asked in panic.

A martial artist who seemed to be the leader had a look of reluctance in his eyes and whispered, "Humph, since we have come this far, there is no turning back. Let's catch up with him. Even if we can't accompany him, it will definitely be safer to follow him on this road."

"When we have the chance later, we will definitely let him see our determination."

"That makes sense. Hurry up, or you'll never catch up."

After a few people talked in low voices, they quickly caught up.

There were seven routes prepared for this pacification meeting, all starting from the camp and converging in Danzhou.

It just happens to include all the areas between the camp and Danzhou, which is a very large area.

It not only provided sufficient geographical space for the many martial artists participating in the conference to avoid premature fighting, but also allowed them to clear out the forces of the Huangtian Sect near Danzhou and wait for them to gather near Danzhou to attack the city.

Kill two birds with one stone.

The route chosen by Shen Qing was an ordinary long road that required crossing several hills, passing through several towns and many villages.

These towns and villages are not connected in a linear manner, but are scattered throughout the area along this route.

This also reduces the probability of them encountering children from aristocratic families.

And there may be many traces of the Huangtian Sect in these villages and towns, which is enough for them to make meritorious deeds.

As the last rays of sunset were swallowed up by the distant mountains, Shen Qing slowed down.

He released his spiritual sense and discovered a cave.

Apart from this, no signs of human activity were found.

"We have been running around all day, so let's rest in this cave tonight." Shen Qing said casually.

Shao Hongling and others all followed Shen Qing's lead, so naturally they had no objections.

After Shen Qing determined the location, he mobilized his spiritual power and descended to the entrance of the cave.

The entrance to the cave is narrow and hidden, only wide enough for one person to pass through with his legs bent over, and it doesn't look very big.

However, after entering the cave, the scene in front of me suddenly became clear, and the space inside the cave suddenly became much more spacious.

The dome is high and the walls are naturally carved, revealing an animal breath and wildness that has not been disturbed by the world.

Judging from the weeds on the ground, it seems that this is a place where some wild beast once lived, but it has been abandoned now.

Shen Qing pointed with one hand and used his spiritual power to make a small hole on the top of the cave. He took out a sunstone and activated his spiritual power.

The ordinary stone emitted a faint white light in his palm, dispelling the darkness in the cave.

Shen Qing threw it casually, and the sunstone in his hand was accurately embedded in the top.

"Now that we have nothing to do, we can just divide up what we got from the Xue family."

Shen Qing's voice rang out in the empty cave.

His words were brief, but they were like an order, causing ripples in the hearts of Shao Hongling and others.

"Sir, this... isn't it a little inappropriate?" Shao Hongling hesitated to speak, obviously surprised by Shen Qing's proposal.

They gained a lot on this trip, but these were all Shen Qing's achievements and had nothing to do with them.

Even if you don't give them a single hair, they can't say anything.

But in Shen Qing's opinion, since she was willing to follow him so early and was determined, she was his.

People respect me one foot, and I respect others ten feet.

If someone destroys me a grain of rice, I will take away three buckets of rice from him.

He has always had a clear distinction between grudges and grudges.

Shen Qing raised his head, glanced at the three people present, and said calmly: "You didn't come here to die. If you have a chance, you might as well fight hard. Maybe you can get rich. I, Shen Qing, never treat those around me unfairly."

Ah Da and Xiao Man glanced at Shao Hongling. They all took Shao Hongling as the leader and wanted to listen to Shao Hongling.

Shao Hongling hesitated for a while and agreed: "Thank you very much, sir."

Shen Qing opened the package on the ground, revealing the Xue family's spoils inside.

The merit stone issued to each person before the pacification meeting began is the most important object in the meeting.

According to that soldier, even if one does not have enough evil energy to obtain the Merit Stones during the Rebellion Suppression Meeting, it will still be recognized if the number is sufficient.

In this way, the merit stone is a good thing in the pacification meeting.

There were seven people in the Xue family, including masters and servants, and seven merit stones were dropped.

Shen Qing took four and gave the rest to Shao Hongling and others, one each.

Shao Hongling and others had already obtained it for free, so naturally they would not have any objections.

In addition to the merit stones, there are also a large number of wish beads and various valuable items such as elixirs and treasures.

There were more than forty wish-power beads, more than a dozen bottles of elixirs, seven jade tablets for refining beads, as well as self-defense armor, various weapons and other items.

Shen Qing picked 70% of them, and the rest was divided equally among Shao Hongling and others.

When Ada and Xiaoman saw these treasures, smiles almost appeared on their faces.

For them who come from a small place, it is extremely difficult to accumulate any item here.

There was a lot of killing in the meeting to quell the rebellion. The people of the Xue family had brought a lot of good things with them to save their lives, and now they have all been taken advantage of.

Even the serious Shao Hongling couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this.

Ah Da suddenly thought and said, "Lord Shen, if we kill our way through the rebellion-pacifying meeting and survive, wouldn't the accumulated spoils be enough to make us rich enough to rival an entire country?"

Shen Qing smiled and said, "Any martial artist has some wealth. They will not hold back anything this time. If you can survive, you will be rich enough to rival a country. Also, don't forget that surviving means you can enter the imperial court, the royal arsenal, obtain martial arts skills, and attain immortality. This is something that cannot be bought with any amount of wealth."

"Eternal life is too far for us."

Shao Hongling looked at the two merit stones in his hand, and suddenly became thoughtful.

Lord Shen has been kind to her, and being able to follow him and receive his protection is already a great favor.

She felt that she couldn't take advantage of others like this.

After the pacification meeting is over, if she is still alive, she plans to not take any of these merit stones and give them all to Lord Shen.

Perhaps with these merit stones, Lord Shen will be able to rank among the top and be granted the title of nobility one day.
