Shang Wuji's expression darkened. The actions of Wei Xingguang and Yue Zhongkui were clearly ulterior motives. They could have distributed the treasures sooner, yet they insisted on waiting until the end. What if conflicts arose then?
Currently, there were four forces present: himself, Yue Zhongkui, Wei Xingguang, and Qin Chen’s group of black-clad individuals. With Wei Xingguang and Yue Zhongkui having reached a consensus, it was not appropriate for him to say much. He could only look towards the Skeleton Helmsman.
"Hehe, I also think what the two of you said makes sense. Since the formation’s restrictions haven’t been broken yet, it is indeed a bit hasty to discuss distribution. Why not break the restrictions first, and then proceed with the distribution?" the Skeleton Helmsman said with a smile.
"What?" Shang Wuji was taken aback, staring at the Skeleton Helmsman in astonishment. Did he not realize the intentions of Yue Zhongkui and Wei Xingguang?
Once the formation’s restrictions were broken, with treasures piled before them, who would care about the distribution? They would surely rush in to grab them.
"Hahaha, you are indeed straightforward. In that case, let’s begin to break the formation," Wei Xingguang laughed heartily and was about to take action.
"Wait a moment." The Skeleton Helmsman suddenly said, "Since we'll distribute after breaking the formation, the distribution ratio from before will naturally have to be reassessed."
So this was his intention.
Wei Xingguang sneered inwardly, but his face remained calm as he asked, "What do you mean?" The Skeleton Helmsman smiled and explained, "Currently, there are four forces, and our previous distribution was approximately three, two, two, and two, with one-tenth remaining that cannot be allocated yet. Since we’re going to break the formation, it’s simple. Whoever contributes the most in breaking the formation and shows significant improvement, that last tenth will go to this person. What do you all think?"
Wei Xingguang and Yue Zhongkui exchanged glances, feeling suspicious. Could it be that this Enforcer from the Law Enforcement Palace had a considerable understanding of formations, hence suggesting such a requirement?
Humph, they thought he was so kind-hearted; it turned out he wanted to take an extra tenth for himself. As if things could be that good. "But it’s just a small restriction formation, there’s no need for that, right? This Emperor can break it in no time, why go through all this trouble?" Wei Xingguang laughed and disregarded the suggestion, swiftly slashing toward the formation's restrictions with his blade. Immediately, a thunderous roar echoed, and the blade energy surged, creating a tremendous force.
However, the restrictions were of an unknown level, incredibly strong. Wei Xingguang’s blade strike merely caused ripples, and the entire formation remained unmoved.
Such a strong formation! The faces of the crowd changed. Wei Xingguang was already one of the top fighters among them, close to the peak of the eighth stage Martial Emperor, wielding at least sixty to seventy laws of Spatial Law. Under such a powerful attack, the formation remained unscathed. If they wanted to break it, how long would it take?
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The others immediately took action as well. Once they did, they realized the formidable nature of this formation. The continuous rumbling of their attacks echoed, yet the formation showed little signs of weakening.
At this rate, if they wanted to forcibly break this formation, wouldn’t it take at least a month? And even then, they might not succeed.
How could they afford to wait?
They had already spent over two years since the ancient Yu realm opened, and with less than a year remaining, spending over a month on breaking the formation was simply too extravagant.
But with the treasures right in front of them, asking everyone to give up was even less possible. Not to mention one or two months, even three or four months would be painful to endure.
