Shang Wuji looked at Qin Chen with excitement.
Qin Chen questioned with suspicion, “Lord Shang Wuji, could it be that you really don’t understand this kind of forbidden array?”
Earlier, although Shang Wuji’s technique was clumsy, it was quite precise, making it seem like he had some understanding.
Shang Wuji forced a smile and said, “Qin Shaoxia, you jest. If I truly understood, I wouldn't have to expend such effort. The reason I was able to shake this array earlier was purely luck. If I truly wanted to break it completely, I would definitely have the will but not the strength.”
He kept smiling bitterly, showing no signs of deceit.
“Since you can break the array, why not make a move quickly?” Wei Xingguang shouted. Qin Chen completely ignored him and said, “If you want me to break the array, that’s not impossible, but just as this law enforcement palace lord mentioned earlier, if I can break the array within a short time and obtain ten percent of the treasures, that shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
“What? You, a commoner from the lower four domains… disciple, want to claim ten percent? Are you joking?” Wei Xingguang was furious.
The Skeleton Boat Master also wanted a ten percent share, and out of respect for the law enforcement palace, Wei Xingguang could only accept that. But for Qin Chen to think he had the right to ten percent was nothing short of a delusion.
“Since Lord Shang Wuji is unwilling, then let’s continue to break the array ourselves,” Qin Chen said disinterestedly.
“You…” Wei Xingguang was infuriated and said, “Shang Wuji, look at this guy, he’s being too much.”
The expressions of the others also turned somewhat cold.
This was ten percent of the treasures. The high-quality true stones alone were worth at least several hundred million, plus nearly a thousand blood crystals and a Rule Fruit. Ten percent of the gains was certainly not a small sum.
A mere disciple, he didn’t fear overreaching.
“Is it too much?” Qin Chen sneered. “We all entered together, yet you directly occupy twenty percent of the gains. Isn’t that even more excessive?”
“Hmph, this is the result of our major forces dividing it. You over there have already taken thirty percent. Do you still want to demand forty percent?” Shang Wuji retorted angrily. “That’s incorrect. The thirty percent you mentioned is what the law enforcement palace received. I come from the Alchemy Pavilion, and she comes from the Illusion Demon Sect. Though we trained together with the law enforcement palace people, we all come from different forces. If it were divided according to forces, the Alchemy Pavilion and the Illusion Demon Sect that I represent should each receive a share, taking over ten percent each, right? Yet in reality, neither I nor the Illusion Demon Sect received anything, so now to demand the remaining ten percent, is that too much?”
As soon as this was said, everyone was stunned.
It was indeed as he said. From the start, Qin Chen and Chen Sisi had walked together with the law enforcement palace people, so Shang Wuji and the others had directly counted Qin Chen and the law enforcement palace as the same force. But in fact, Qin Chen was from the Alchemy Pavilion, and Chen Sisi was a witch from the Illusion Demon Sect, not part of the same force as the law enforcement palace.
If it had to be allocated according to forces, it should have been divided into six parts, not four.
“Can you really break this array?” Shang Wuji asked in a deep voice.
“Is there any doubt?”
“Good, since that’s the case, then I can be the judge. If you can break this array within three days, I will agree to give you ten percent, how about that?” Shang Wuji said.
The remaining warriors from the Mist Hidden Sect showed strange expressions. They clearly remembered that Qin Chen had used a similar move with the Seven Color Spirit Fruit before; they were well aware of his array-breaking skills. Since he said he could break it, he definitely wouldn’t be wrong.
