Chapter 912 912 - Greedy Hands

At the same time, in the underground palace.

Stellar Moon Sect was the first to arrive and more than twenty Martial Masters barged into the underground palace. Without concealing their tracks, they charged right in and saw the medicinal field in front before long.

"What a rich medicinal fragrance!"

"There are so many spirit herbs that are over thousands of years old in this massive medicinal field. Our trip wasn't wasted at all!"

"Look! It's a ten thousand years old Vermilion Fruit!"

The eyes of everyone from Stellar Moon Sect lit up with a fervent gaze.

"It's about to ripen! We're just in time!"

A Stellar Moon Sect martial artist remarked in a fawning manner, "In my opinion, only Senior Brother Gie is the only one in the Northern Region that is qualified to get his hands on this ten thousand years old Vermilion Fruit."

Mo Xir's hands were behind his back and he had a relaxed attitude. Although he was greatly pleased upon hearing that, he merely smiled without saying anything.

"Hehe!"

Suddenly, a cold sneer sounded from the darkness.

A series of specter-like figures walked out. Although there were only eight of them, each of them let out an aura of extreme danger that sent chills down one's spine!

"Shadow Sect!"

"Senior Brother Gie, their leader is the paragon of Shadow Sect, Norl Fer!"

Mo Xir replied calmly, as though he had already expected this.

Smirking coldly, Norl Fer said with a scoff, "Mo Xir is the only one in the Tianhuang North Region qualified to get his hands on the ten thousand years old Vermilion Fruit? What brazen words! Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue?"

"Oh?"

Mo Xir smiled faintly and rebutted, "What do you have in mind, Brother Norl?"

"Nothing much."

Norl Fer replied coldly, "I'm merely giving a kind reminder that you're not qualified to be regarded as the best of the younger generation in the Northern Region!"

"Insolent!"

"How dare you compare yourself with our Senior Brother Gie?!"

"Hmph, the Martial Master phenomenon that Senior Brother Gie trained is ranked 92 on the Phenomenon Ranking. What are you?"

Many Stellar Moon Sect martial artists shouted.

Snickering, Norl Fer replied. "If it comes to a death bout, we don't know who will stand out just yet."

The moment he said that, the atmosphere between Shadow Sect and Stellar Moon Sect turned extremely tense, as though a massive battle could break out at any moment!

"Hahaha!"

Right then, a long laughter sounded, brazen and unbridled.

"How can I miss out on such a happening situation?"

When he heard that, Norl Fer's expression changed.

Mo Xir who was initially calm frowned with a wary look in his eyes as well.

More than ten Martial Masters with flaming red robes entered the underground palace.

Their leader was a tall and dignified man who strode over in huge steps. Emitting a scorching hot aura, he was none other than the G'ang Nan, the prime disciple of Blazing Phoenix Valley!

Mo Xir's Martial Master phenomenon, Solar Luna Stellar Lumen, and G'ang Nan's Raging City Blaze were both in the top ranks of their region!

Furthermore, Raging City Blaze was ranked 89, slightly higher than Solar Luna Stellar Lumen.

"Very good, very good!"

Sweeping his fervent gaze across the crowd, G'ang Nan nodded with a raring battle intent. "Since everyone's here, I'll declare that the medicinal field and ten thousand years old Vermilion Fruit are both mine! Anyone who disagrees will be suppressed by me!"

"Humph!"

Norl Fer harrumphed coldly. "Aren't you afraid of dying from your greed?"

"G'ang Nan, there's an order to things!"

Mo Xir shook his head gently and remarked indifferently, "Stellar Moon Sect was the first to discover the medicinal field and Vermilion Fruit."

"Hahahaha!"

G'ang Nan burst into laughter and pointed to three people beside the medicinal field. "Mo Xir, stop pretending to be righteous. If you want to talk about order, the three of them are the first to discover this place. What has it got to do with you?"

Slyff Nae and the other two had been at the side of the medicinal field the entire time.

However, after the Martial Masters of Stellar Moon Sect, Shadow Sect, and Blazing Phoenix Valley entered the place, they were arguing about how they should split the medicinal field and were completely oblivious to the three of them.

It was at this moment that everyone's attention gradually focused onto Slyff Nae and the other two.

Slyff Nae and the other two exchanged glances and lamented internally.

The auras of the Martial Masters from those three sects were extremely strong – a single person from the other parties could easily go against the three of them.

The paragons leading them looked even more formidable!

Slyff Nae and the other two had explored outside before and naturally, knew that they were in a dangerous situation. As such, they did not dare to act recklessly.

When everyone's gazes turned towards them, Lian Juhe coughed gently and greeted the three sects with cupped fists, smiling gently with full politeness.

"Greetings, fellow Martial Artists, I'm a martial artist of Azure Myst Sect, Lian Juhe."

The Martial Masters of the three sects were expressionless after Lian Juhe's greeting.

A look of mockery even flashed through the eyes of some of the martial artists, as though they were looking at an idiot, a dead man walking.

Ignored!

He was completely ignored!

Lian Juhe's smile froze on his face.

Frowning slightly, Slyff Nae clenched his teeth and said with cupped fists, "Earlier on, this fellow Martial Artist mentioned about the order of things. Indeed, we were the ones who first discovered this medicinal field."

"However, the three of us only need the Rain Frost Flower, Purple Cloud Mushroom, Blood Ginseng, and Essence Grass to save a senior in our sect. We won't take anything else. We'll be immensely grateful if you guys can grant us our wish…"

"Are you even in a position to speak?"

Mo Xir interrupted Slyff Nae coldly, "Who are you guys? What rights do you have to talk to me about the order of things?"

Shadow Sect's Norl Fer had a frosty expression and his eyes were filled with killing intent. Word by word, he remarked, "None of you shall lay your hands on a single strand of spirit herb here!"

G'ang Nan's eyes were filled with mockery as he threw his head back in laughter. "Interesting! You still want the spirit herbs even at death's door! Hahaha! The ignorant are truly fearless!"

To be fair, it would already be fortuitous for the three of them to escape such a situation unscathed.

If not for that fact that he wanted to save the disheveled old man, Slyff Nae would not have taken the risk to mention that he wanted the four spirit herbs.

What should he do?

Slyff Nae was extremely flustered.

Right now, even if the three of them wanted to leave empty-handed, the opposing martial artists did not seem like they would agree to it.

Furthermore, although they did not know where Aiden was, he was most likely still in the underground palace.

What would happen to him if the three of them left?

Given his character, he would definitely not bow down in such a situation!

However, Slyff Nae and the other two could tell that none of the dozens of martial artists present were easy to deal with!

The three paragon leaders were even more terrifying!

Aiden had just formed his core and nobody knew what Martial Master phenomenon he had trained – how could he be a match for those Martial Masters?

"Guys, no matter who this medicinal field will belong to, there's no need for the three of our sects to get into a fight. Let's settle the other stuff first." Mo Xir remarked indifferently.

"Agreed!"

Shadow Sect's Norl Fer looked at Slyff Nae and the other two and sneered.

G'ang Nan nodded in agreement as well. "No problem."

Slyff Nae and the other two felt their hearts sink.

Mo Xir's expression was indifferent and a dark gold gleam shone from his eyes as he asked icily, "The three of you, hand over the Top Grade artifact weapon. There are things that you guys shouldn't take!"

"Top Grade artifact weapon?"

Slyff Nae and the other two froze momentarily with stunned expressions.

"Hehe!"

Norl Fer sneered, "Go on, continue feigning ignorance! Even at the brink of death, you guys refuse to be honest!"

When they heard that, Slyff Nae's heart skipped a beat and a look of realization flashed through his eyes.

The Top Grade artifact weapon that Mo Xir referred to must have been Aiden's Coiling Dragon Seal!

Previously, Aiden made use of the Coiling Dragon Seal to test the toughness of the bronze square tripod. In the darkness of the night, the radiance illuminated was truly too blinding.

When G'ang Nan noticed the change in Slyff Nae's expression, he could not help but grin. "Why? You've finally remembered?"

Gulping, Lian Juhe forced a smile. "Fellow Martial Artists, I'm sure there must be some misunderstanding. The three of us are truly not in possession of any Top Grade artifact weapons."

Norl Fer said coldly with a furious killing intent, "That's not decided with your words alone. Hand over your storage bags or die!"
