I'm in Yellow Maple Valley, and I have one equipment slot!

"The madwoman's Cold Dragon, and Tian Yuanzi's Separated Turtle!"

Qingyi Jushi stared at the two spirit beasts, his expression somewhat solemn.

As a rogue cultivator, he had naturally heard of these well-known spirit beasts and knew how powerful they were.

"Those two old monsters treasure these two spirit beasts very much and will not lend them out easily."

Zhou Yuan chimed in, feigning considerable apprehension.

The two old monsters he mentioned were Wan Sangu of the Wanfa Sect, a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage.

The other is Tian Yuanzi, a powerful cultivator in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

These two are both renowned figures in the Chaotic Star Sea. The fact that Wan Tianming and Tian Wuzi were able to borrow their spirit beasts certainly indicates that their relationship is quite close.

However, Zhou Yuan didn't care at all.

No matter how famous these two spirit beasts are, they are ultimately just level seven demon beasts that have not yet developed intelligence.

With his current strength, if he really wanted to take action, dealing with them would be a piece of cake.

But at this moment, he is playing the role of the Extreme Yin Ancestor, so he naturally has to act in a reasonable and logical manner.

"Hmph! Whether I lend it or not depends on who it is."

The bearded man's expression was gloomy as he coldly said, "Wan Tianming is the madwoman's nephew. Tian Wuzi is Tian Yuanzi's junior brother. What's so strange about them being able to borrow these two spirit beasts?"

"That's a bit tricky." Master Qingyi frowned. "These two beasts are quite powerful. If they fight to the death, the three of us won't be able to get rid of them for a while."

His eyes flickered, clearly weighing the pros and cons.

Suddenly, the bearded man let out a sinister laugh, his gaze sweeping over the two men.

"Qingyi, Jiyin! What are you keeping your Thornbird and Heavenly Capital Demon Corpse for?"

"Although they are no match for these two beasts, we can at least hold them off for a while. We don't necessarily need to defeat Wan Tianming and the others; killing just one of the golden silkworms will suffice."

He grinned maliciously and said in a sinister voice.

Once the Golden Silkworm dies, Wan Tianming and the others will no longer be able to retrieve the Void Heaven Cauldron.

By then, they can set up at their own pace and do it themselves.

Upon hearing what the bearded man said, Qingyi Jushi and Zhou Yuan, who was disguised as Jiyin, exchanged a glance, their faces showing hesitation.

"Brother Man, you know that my Heavenly Capital Demon Corpse was already..."

Zhou Yuan was about to explain and make up an excuse to get away with it.

however--

At that moment, something strange happened on the altar!

A giant emerald silkworm in a ball of light suddenly trembled violently, then its golden light dimmed and its aura rapidly weakened!

At the same time, the golden thread in its mouth snapped with a "pop" as it trembled!

"not good!"

Wan Tianming's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in surprise!

However, before they could take any action, the other golden silkworms also experienced the same situation!

After the golden light diminished significantly, the golden threads of two more giant silkworms snapped on the spot!

At this moment, Wan Tianming's heart sank to the bottom.

But it's not over!

Although the remaining three giant silkworms still had their golden threads intact, with half of their companions gone, they were pulled into the large hole with a whoosh, as if by a tremendous force!

Then—

"boom!"

A loud thud came from inside the cave, and the entire stone platform shook violently!

The blue light at the cave entrance immediately dimmed, and the chill also lessened considerably!

On the altar, only three giant silkworms remained, lying on the ground, their breaths waning.

The faces of all the righteous people turned extremely ugly.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The bearded man was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter!

The laughter echoed in the air above the stone platform, filled with schadenfreude!

Zhou Yuan and Qingyi Jushi also realized what was happening and revealed gloating smiles.

Wan Tianming's face turned ashen. He glared fiercely at the three men with the thick beard, then snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Tengoko and Mufuko, their faces grim, followed him away.

They didn't even ask a single question about the "Reappearance of Extreme Yin," since the Void Heaven Cauldron couldn't be retrieved at this moment, and saying anything would be meaningless.

Moreover, Wan Tianming did not even take away the three withered golden silkworms on the altar!

……

"Haha, the righteous ones have left. Now it's our turn to take the cauldron!"

When Zhou Yuan saw Wan Tianming and the other two emerge from the white light barrier on the high platform, he immediately smiled and then turned his gaze to Han Li.

"My good disciple, why don't you summon that Blood Jade Spider you're raising?"

His tone was matter-of-fact, as if Han Li were still his disciple.

"this……"

Han Li subconsciously looked at the bearded man, a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.

After all, he has now become "a disciple" of the Bearded Man.

"Extreme Yin..."

The bearded man explained, "It's like this: when you went missing, that kid Han Li switched allegiance to me."

He spoke in a flat tone, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"Um?"

Zhou Yuan frowned, his face showing anger as he stared at the bearded man.

"Brother Man, we clearly agreed before, you..."

"Brother Wu."

The bearded man waved his hand, interrupting him, "Since you've already obtained a great opportunity in the Ice and Fire Path, then share some of the opportunities here. We can't let you have all the benefits yourself, can we?"

"Dream on!" Zhou Yuan couldn't help but sneer. "You're going to take all three portions for yourself, while Qing Daoist and I will share two? You're dreaming!"

Having searched the souls of the extremely yin beings, he naturally knew about the agreement made by the three barbarian men.

The treasures obtained from this trip to the Void Heaven Palace were divided into five parts. Manhuzi took two parts, and the other three, Jiyin, Qingyi, and Hanli, each took one part.

At that time, Han Li was a disciple of Ji Yin, so his share would naturally also belong to Ji Yin in the end.

In other words, Ji Yin could have originally received two portions.

But now that the barbarian has taken Han Li away, it means that the Extreme Yin can only get one share!

The difference is enormous!

"Han Li, tell me, whose disciple are you?"

The bearded man was too lazy to argue with Zhou Yuan, so he turned to look at Han Li with a piercing gaze.

Han Li froze instantly.

This question is dangerous no matter how you answer it!

Claiming to be a disciple of the Bearded Man—that would offend the "Extreme Yin".

Claiming to be a disciple of Ji Yin—that would directly offend the even stronger barbarians!

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he was at a loss for what to do.

"Brother Man, Brother Wu..."

Just as tensions were about to rise, the rogue cultivator Qingyi suddenly spoke up.

He chuckled and smoothed things over, saying, "The righteous path is still eyeing us covetously; our priority is to retrieve the treasure. As for the profit sharing, let's stick to our previous agreement and get the treasure first, shall we?"

His tone was gentle, showing no favoritism towards either side and leaving room for both to save face.

Han Li felt secretly grateful.

Zhou Yuan glanced at Qingyi Jushi, snorted coldly, and did not continue to pester him.

The bearded man nodded, putting the matter aside for the time being: "Then let's take the cauldron first!"
