CHAPTER 79: Five Ke in the Yin Hour
Aside from Zhou Guibo's ambush outside the mountain, Liu Yu and the other three members of the Yuan Yang Sect gathered together. At this moment, all four were blood-soaked and smeared with some dust.
Liu Yu, dressed in white, had a calm expression as tranquil as water. He wore four storage bags at his waist, which still had traces of blood, hinting at a trend of developing into a "Bag Elder."
Wu Chang, Xie Huaxiong, and Sun Ju stood in a row in front of him. They were among the best cultivators of the Yuan Yang Sect, surpassing the magical artifacts of these small family cultivators by far. Their cultivation techniques and spells were also much better, so they had not sustained any injuries.
The four stood silently without speaking, only looking at Liu Yu with eager and expectant eyes, wanting to say something but holding back.
The battle was over, and naturally, it was time to distribute the spoils and enjoy the fruits of victory.
Although the Feng Family was just a small qi refinement stage cultivation family, the resources and spiritual stones allocated to a few people were considerable, with each person receiving a substantial number of spiritual stones.
They risked their lives to accompany Liu Yu, running back and forth for this, right?
However, at this moment, even the usually somewhat petty Sun Ju did not speak up, which illustrated the change brought about by Liu Yu's display of power.
Liu Yu's face was expressionless, revealing no joy or anger. He could sense the subtle shift in the others' attitudes.
He, of course, knew what they were thinking. Just when Wu Chang and the others were feeling somewhat restless, he spoke up:
"Don’t be anxious, fellow junior brothers. Once the Hou Family and Gongsun Family bring the storage bags over, we will distribute the spoils immediately."
Liu Yu said with a smile, maintaining a relatively gentle attitude towards his fellow junior brothers.
"We’re not in a hurry, it’s just… will the Hou Family and Gongsun Family honestly bring over the storage bags as agreed?"
Xie Huaxiong and Sun Ju looked at Wu Chang in unison, hoping he would speak up since he was more familiar with Liu Yu.
However, Wu Chang kept his head down, as if he hadn’t heard. The two exchanged glances, and finally, Sun Ju mustered the courage to speak softly.
It was not surprising for her to have such concerns; the cultivation world had many instances of people turning against each other and even engaging in violent conflicts over unequal distribution of spoils. After all, wealth stirs the heart.
"Everyone needn’t worry. With me, Liu, here, those two families will adhere to the agreement!"
Liu Yu said, smiling confidently, presenting an air of composure and control.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Liu!"
Sun Ju said weakly, feeling quite scared of him, thinking this senior brother was mysterious and aloof.
Although she initially didn't want to participate in this operation, it was different by the time they began to distribute the spoils after defeating the Feng Family. Such a large sum of spiritual stones, if obtained, would allow her to buy more elixirs each month, greatly accelerating her cultivation speed.
That’s why she had the nerve to ask, but this was also the shared sentiment of the group.
Liu Yu patiently comforted his fellow junior disciples for a moment, knowing that they would need to deal with the cultivators of the Heavenly Harmony Sect next, and that they would be of use, naturally he wouldn’t treat them coldly.
At this point, the Hou Family and Gongsun Family had already assessed their casualties, bringing the remaining cultivators over.
"Fellow Daoist Liu is indeed young but possesses such cultivation. Truly a model for our generation!"
Hou Yanze's voice had reached them even before he arrived.
"Indeed, heroes come from the youth. Just now, Fellow Daoist’s strike that defeated Feng Tianwei is indeed unforgettable for us!"
Gongsun Cang seemed to have vented his earlier resentment and approached with a kind demeanor, stroking his white beard and smiling.
