Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Both of them coming alone also showed their respective goodwill.

At this, Lin Tianming couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief; he had truly been afraid that they would betray him and make a move against him after crossing the bridge.

If that were the case, it would indeed be difficult for him to come up with a countermeasure.

After all, having gone through this great battle, he had successively slain several Golden Sword Sect Disciples, thoroughly offending the Golden Sword Sect, with no possibility of reconciliation.

And when he initially chose to join them and lend his full support, he had already taken a stand with the two Great Sects.

Now that the battle was over, the greatest share of the treasure resources was in his hands.

Indeed, these items were of great value, concerning whether the cultivators present could achieve Core Formation.

Even a genius disciple from Myriad Medicine Valley like Yang Chen would surely covet them greatly.

If he had misjudged them and they decided to kill and rob him, with the two groups combined, there were still more than a dozen people; he naturally would not be able to contend with them alone.

Therefore, he had to be on guard all the time to prevent all the hard-earned gains from becoming someone else's wedding dress.

Understanding this, Lin Tianming was very cautious and always ready to retreat.

Luckily, his worries were somewhat superfluous.

Yang Chen and He Xin coming alone to meet up clearly understood what Lin Tianming was worried about, so they didn't rally their fellow Sect members, to prevent Lin Tianming from misunderstanding.

In response to their demonstrated goodwill, Lin Tianming smiled with relief.

Seeing this reaction from Lin Tianming, Yang Chen and the others were quite satisfied.

Especially Yang Chen, who had been severely injured by Chen Jianbin before, barely surviving the blow from a Third Order Attack Talisman.

Thankfully, Lin Tianming stepped in to save the day; otherwise, he would have likely perished there.

Understanding this, Yang Chen bowed to Lin Tianming and sincerely expressed his thanks.

"Daoist Lin, thanks to the strong support from you and another, otherwise, the disciples of our two sects might have faced grim prospects!"

Before he had finished speaking, He Xin, with a solemn expression, also chimed in.

"Daoist Yang is right, the battle was indeed perilous; if it weren't for the two Daoists' selfless aid, even if we had managed to win, the cost might have been frightful."

Hearing this, Lin Tianming waved his hands and humbly replied, "You two Daoists are too polite!"

"Daoist Hu and I are also people of principle; Golden Sword Sect's actions were treacherous, breaking faith, and causing trouble without cause."

"Since we encountered it, we naturally had to draw swords to help, doing just our duty as upright cultivators."

Hearing these words, Yang Chen and the others nodded, becoming even more pleased with Lin Tianming.

However, even so, the two did not lose their heads, as there was still a matter that was inevitable to discuss, no matter what.

Understanding this, Yang Chen glanced at He Xin, and they exchanged a look.

Then, He Xin spoke first: "Daoist Yang, you do the talking!"

Hearing this, Yang Chen gave an embarrassed smile and then got straight to the point.

"Daoist Lin, let's not beat around the bush; the importance of the Jiuli Star Fruit to our two sects goes without saying, and I'm sure you also know our purpose in coming."

"So, I won't hide anything; may I ask if Chen Jianbin's storage bag could be examined by us, and if the Jiuli Star Fruit as well as the Fire Scale Beast's corpse could be entrusted to us for safekeeping?"

Having said this, Yang Chen and the others anxiously stared at Lin Tianming, their hearts in turmoil, seemingly in a difficult position.

In their minds, the Jiuli Star Fruit belonged to the three Sects communally, and entering the Secret Realm, their primary purpose was for this item.

And the Fire Scale Beast, jointly killed by their three Sects, was also part of their spoils of war.

If this battle had allowed Chen Jianbin to escape and return to his Sect, then they would have no recourse but to let the senior members of their Sects take care of the matter.

But now that Chen Jianbin was dead, they had managed to reclaim the items, which were now in Lin Tianming's control.

And if they wanted to get them back without causing conflict, they would need to secure Lin Tianming's agreement.

While Lin Tianming taking Chen Jianbin's storage bag was a move they could understand.

After all, Chen Jianbin had died at his hands, and even though Yang Chen had contributed a lot in the fight, Lin Tianming's role in the battle was crucial.

It could even be said, he was the biggest factor in their victory.

Emotionally and rationally, it was reasonable for Lin Tianming to claim the spoils of war.

However, they didn't care about Chen Jianbin's personal wealth, but the Jiuli Star Fruit and the Fire Scale Beast's carcass had to be in their own hands at all costs.

Those items were not just for themselves, after all; the Sect had tasked them with bringing back the Jiuli Star Fruit.

In such a situation, to complete the mission given by the Sect, even at the risk of offending Lin Tianming, they had to make an attempt.

If they could resolve the matter peacefully, it would be ideal for everyone.

But if Lin Tianming still refused to hand them over, even if they were reluctant to fight, they would have no choice but to use force to compel him.

Fully aware of this, Yang Chen and the others did not want to push Lin Tianming too hard, to avoid unnecessary trouble.

At this time, Lin Tianming also understood what Yang Chen and the others meant, and he too felt somewhat troubled.

After all, with the Jiuli Star Fruit in his possession, he had the leverage to negotiate conditions.

Realizing this, Lin Tianming wore a troubled expression and then replied, "I fully understand the difficulties you two Daoists face!"

"However, these items were hard-won by myself, and it would be difficult to ask me to hand them all over!"
