Chapter 458 – Ice and Fire Dao
Seeing this, the Extreme Yin Ancestor’s face likewise changed slightly, but after a moment of silence, he spoke calmly, “Since Brother Barbarian has doubts in his heart, Mister Wu won’t hide them. The young disciple is of great use to us in taking the treasure from the inner sanctum this time, so if he has offended fellow Daoists in any way, I still hope that Brother Barbarian will be merciful.”
When the Extreme Yin Ancestor said this, Han Li was depressed beyond measure to hear it. When had he offended this Barbarian Beard, instead, he was the one who was forced to snatch the jade pillar by the other party when he was in the grand hall, and he was still a bit sulky towards this old devil!
Of course, Han Li only dared to think about these words in his heart and would never say them out loud.
”Offended? I don’t even know this brat, what’s there to offend! I just took a closer look and realized that his technique seemed a bit interesting, and went out to give it a try. What use can a JieDan stage cultivator put him to in the inner sanctum? You guys aren’t deceiving me with lies.” Barbarian Beard waved his hand and said lazily.
Hearing these words, Extreme Yin frowned, and after hesitating for a moment, he signaled to the Confucian-shirted old man. Seeing this, Qing Yi Jushi smiled faintly, his lips moving slightly as he sent a message to Barbarian Beard.
Seeing the sneaky appearance of the two, Barbarian Beard initially revealed a few scornful colors, but after listening to a few more phrases of the old man’s voice transmission, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Han Li with some surprise.
Then, he also used his voice transmission technique to ask the old man a few words about something, before revealing a sudden realization and his face clouded over.
”Extreme Yin, I said why did you inexplicably take on a disciple, it turns out that he actually has …… a hum! What you are playing is a good idea!” Barbarian Beard half narrowed his eyes, shooting out a gaze like a sword, staring straight at Ancestor Extreme Yin and said morosely.
”Why do you need to be angry, Brother Barbarian, if you had encountered this matter, I’m afraid you would have used the same tactics. Furthermore, since the two of us have now spoken out about this matter, we have no intention of eating alone, this time, we still need to rely on Brother Barbarian to retrieve the treasure.” The Extreme Yin Ancestor said calmly.
”That’s true, without me making a move, I’m afraid that those hypocrites from Wan Tianming wouldn’t even give you guys a chance to fetch the treasure. However, let’s say the ugly words up front, in case you do fetch the treasure, how do you guys plan to distribute it.” After thinking about it, Barbarian Beard said with a slightly softer expression.
”How about we split it into four parts per head? Including Little Friend Han, each person will take one share.” The Confucian-shirted old man seemed to have considered this issue long ago, shaking his head and saying immediately.
But as soon as these words were uttered, Barbarian Beard flipped out.
”Qing Yi, do you think that I am so easy to coax! Splitting it equally among the four, thanks for thinking of it, at that time, Wan Tian Ming will be dealt with by you, anyway, the few of us will take just as much.” Barbarian Beard said with a sneer on his face.
”Brother Barbarian don’t be angry. Cough! This point is indeed a bit improper what Qing thought, so what does Brother Barbarian think is the proper way to distribute it.” The old man didn’t get angry when he heard the other party’s mocking words, instead, he asked with a smile on his face.
”I will not ask how much you guys take, but I must take half of the treasures before I can do so. After all, that Wan Tian Ming alone can make the two of you choke enough, I have to deal with this person, taking half of it is not much.” Barbarian Beard said with a stern face.
Barbarian Beard’s words did not cause Extreme Yin and the old man to show surprise, clearly the other party’s lion’s mouth was in their expectations.
”Half? Brother Barbarian’s appetite is really too big. Don’t forget that without my young disciple’s help, the chances of us being able to successfully retrieve the treasure are pitifully low, my disciple will always need an extra share.” The Extreme Yin Ancestor said without haste.
”Hmph! He’s worthy of sharing the treasure with us even if he’s a JieDan stage cultivator.” Barbarian Beard said without even glancing at Han Li.
Han Li’s face twitched as he listened, but he immediately returned to his normal color.
”Heh heh! If he was just a casual cultivator, he would naturally be unqualified to partake in the contents of that Void Sky Cauldron, but since he’s become my Extreme Yin’s disciple, of course he should have his share.” Ancestor Extreme Yin had no intention of backing down this time.
When Barbarian Beard heard this, a stern look flashed across his face, and when he was about to say something else, the old man at the side snatched a compromise suggestion.
”How about this! The two Daoists don’t need to fight anymore. Why don’t we split the treasure into five at that time, Brother Barbarian will take two, and the rest of you will take the remaining three. That’s always fair, right?”
When these words came out, Barbarian Beard was stunned, stroked his beard and fell silent.
Extreme Yin Ancestor, on the other hand, immediately took a stand. “This condition is acceptable to Mister Wu, so I don’t know what Brother Barbarian thinks?” He looked at Barbarian Beard and said in a deep voice.
”Alright! Although Barbarian Mou isn’t quite satisfied, it’s better than just now.” Barbarian Beard frowned and said somewhat reluctantly.
He could already tell that the Extreme Yin Ancestor Scripture and the old man had become a joint force, and this condition, I’m afraid, was also the bottom line of the two. In that case, he naturally couldn’t be too forceful.
Just as the old monsters of the Devil’s Way were beginning to divide the spoils of the treasures that had yet to be taken, Wan Tianming and the others in another place were also discussing the matter of taking the treasures in a secretive manner.
”Sect Master Wan, how confident is your Golden Silkworm in taking out that Void Heavenly Cauldron? In the past, there were quite a few seniors who wanted to take out this treasure, but none of them ever succeeded, so I’m afraid we’re also in for a treat!” Taoist priest Tian Wu Zi was a little worried and asked.
”Don’t worry! The original light is my gold silk silkworm, grasp is indeed not big, but we previously is not found the sky green flower well, as long as in the treasure when I spelled gold silk silkworm do not want to, to give them to serve this thing, we have at least three or four chances to succeed, the odds are already very high.” Wan Tian Ming said calmly.
”This reasoning is also known to the poor Taoist. It’s just that when I think about this matter, I’m still a bit distracted. Shame on me, it seems that Poverty Tao’s cultivation is insufficient and his state of mind is something that still needs to be honed more.” Tian Wu Zi said with some embarrassment.
”Hehe, treasures such as the Void Heavenly Cauldron, it is the Heavenly Star Twin Saints those two old monsters that will likewise be torn, this is something that is commonplace for human beings, we are only cultivators, not really immortal beings who have no wants or desires.” Wan Tianming let out a light laugh.
”However, Sect Master Wan, look at those Devil Sect guys, they are sneaking around saying something. Just now, it seemed like there was some infighting, but now they are laughing and joking like it’s nothing, this group of Devil Dao guys wouldn’t be up to any tricks, would they?” The old farmer-like one, however, opened his mouth to say such words.
Hearing this, Wan Tian Ming glanced far away at the people of the Devil Dao who had just finished dividing the spoils and sneered.
”Although the techniques practiced by the people of the Devil Dao are powerful, it’s normal for them to easily distort the minds of the people who practice them, and have some inconsistencies in their behavior. There’s nothing to make a fuss about! On the contrary, this trip, we would rather not have the Void Sky Cauldron, but also must not let it fall into the hands of the devil’s way. After all, that Extreme Yin Ancestor’s Fae Fire Python is also one of the spirit beasts that could potentially take this treasure.” Wan Tianming’s complexion became grave.
”What Sect Master Wan said is extremely true! If the Devil Dao were to obtain this item, the demonic flames would naturally rise even higher. And now is the time when those guys from the Star Palace are at their weakest, we must not allow the Devil Dao to replace the Star Palace’s position and rule the Sea of Chaotic Stars.” Tian Wuzi said with a continuous nod.
Wan Tian Ming was very satisfied and was about to say something else when, in the direction of the giant mountain, suddenly the red and blue light flourished. The mountain wall near the entrance of the canyon, in a burst of earth tremors, cracked open two narrow passages, which by the looks of it should lead straight into the interior of the canyon.
Outside the entrance of the two passages, a stone monument about three to four feet tall emerged, one with the words “Xuanjing Road” and the other with a few ancient characters such as “Lava Road”.
At once, some of the closest cultivators took the first step and walked over.
But just outside the passageway of the lava road, people have not yet entered, there is a let a person dizziness of the hot wind blowing in the face, let a person immediately mouth and tongue dry up.
On the other hand, outside of the Xuan Jing Road, there was a white icy cold gas that kept emerging from within, and there was a faint sound of harsh winds whistling furiously, causing one’s heart to chill just by looking at it.
”Han Li, let’s go and meet back at the end of the Ice Fire Road. Whichever passage you wish to take, although I can’t personally take you through, I can still give you one or two treasures to keep you warm from the cold.” As soon as the Extreme Yin Ancestor saw these two passages appear, he stood up with a revitalized spirit and asked with a turn of his face to Han Li with great concern.
Han Li had already heard Fairy Violet Spirit talk about the Ice and Fire Passage when he crossed the Ghost Mist.
Knowing that as soon as one stepped into the passageway, one would immediately be transported by the forbidden system to the various preset locations in the Grand Canyon, the chances of being able to be transported with others were very low, which is why the other party would say something like this out.
”Let’s take the lava path, I happen to have a fire-preventing garment on me, so it might be able to start working!” Han Li slowly said after thinking about it.
”Good then, keep this item! With your cultivation, you shouldn’t have a problem getting through with this item.” Without hesitation, the Extreme Yin Ancestor fished out a bluish jade pendant from his storage pouch and handed it to Han Li.
”What a surprise! Someone as petty as you, Extreme Yin, has been generous for a rare time. Isn’t this your very precious white rhinoceros pendant?” Savage Beard unintentionally saw this scene and said with a somewhat leathery smile.
