Chapter 785: Chapter 476: The Fall of the Tang Sect, Another Opportunity Arises!_3
The disciples of Tang Sect had lost their fighting spirit, believing they had already been defeated, naturally they did not resist with all their might, and one by one, they fell.
The ground was stained with blood, emitting a piercing stench.
“Brother Chen.”
Shangguan Yu slowly approached Chen Yuan, revealing a hint of a smile.
“It’s good that you’re unharmed.”
Chen Yuan glanced at Shangguan Yu.
“I must also thank Brother Chen for the warning,” there was a trace of fear in Shangguan Yu’s eyes. Even though he had been seriously injured outside and had nearly died, he considered himself much luckier compared to the others.
Previously, Chen Yuan had made it very clear that those Dan Realm Masters who had entered the Secret Realm, hoping to seize Spiritual Objects, had all perished by now.
It was truly shocking.
If he had entered, wouldn’t he have met the same fate?
If Chen Yuan knew what he was thinking, he would definitely say that Shangguan Yu’s fate would be the same as those people, because he would not be able to save him.
His own ability to remain unaffected was indeed unfathomable.
Liu Zhenzong was not affected because he possessed a Spiritual Object with lucid divine intellect.
And Shangguan Yu?
He certainly did not have one.
He was currently not the Clan Leader of the Shangguan Family, and it was impossible for him to possess the heritage of the Shangguan Clan, so once he entered the Secret Realm and was deluded, he would inevitably become muddled, just like those Martial Artists, ending up in a situation where they killed each other.
Even if he eventually won, he would end up like Blood Slaughter Pan Feng, diving head-first into the Blood Pond, leaving no bones behind….
“You and I are brothers, no need for thanks.”
Chen Yuan waved his hand, saying softly.
Seeing them talking, Liu Zhenzong, who had hesitated for a moment, still stepped forward to greet them and cupped his hands, saying:
“Congratulations, Brother Chen.”
“Congratulated for what?”
Shangguan Yu, standing nearby, raised his eyebrows and asked.
“Brother Chen annihilated Tang Xianzhuo, today’s battle will surely spread throughout Shuzhou and even into the Jianghu. Your ranking on the Fengyun List will certainly change,” Liu Zhenzong said with a smile.
“Brother Liu has a point.”
Chen Yuan smiled and said nothing more, which was an acknowledgment.
Shangguan Yu sighed and said:
“Brother Chen is truly invincible. Since the end of the Immortal Battle, you are still the first to be listed on the Fengyun List, and the first to enter the top fifty. Even compared to Zuo Chengzong, you far surpass him.”
“Brother Zuo is also extraordinary,” Chen Yuan said softly.
As far as he knew, Zuo Chengzong had also experienced a major battle recently and had been listed on the Fengyun List as a result, though just at the bottom, it was already extraordinary.
After all, it had only been three months since the end of the Immortal Battle.
If not for him, Zuo Chengzong would have been the most dazzling genius of this era, having created a significant gap with those who followed. At least… Xuanming of Spirit Mountain, Wei Wuya of Heavenly Demon Hall, and Dao Xuansheng along with Bai Changqing and others had quieted down a lot since the end of the Immortal Battle, with many people saying they were in the middle of breakthroughs.
Or stabilizing their Cultivation after their breakthroughs.
“How does Brother Chen plan to handle the Tang Sect?” Liu Zhenzong suddenly asked again.
Chen Yuan of course understood his meaning; now that the masters of Tang Sect had all fallen, today’s retribution was inevitable, meaning whoever was virtuous would inherit Tang Sect’s centuries of accumulation.
“I haven’t made any notable achievements, even owing much to Brother Chen and Brother Liu for your rescue, hence the handling of Tang Sect should be left to you two,” Shangguan Yu stated very sensibly.
“What do you think, Brother Chen?”
After a moment of silence, Chen Yuan’s gaze swept across the Martial Artists still fighting nearby, then said:
“I’ll take forty percent, Brother Liu takes thirty, Shanguan brother can have ten, and the remaining twenty percent is to be distributed among all those present here. How does that sound?”
“I’d be content with twenty percent,” Liu Zhenzong said.
After all, it was Chen Yuan who had killed Tang Xianzhuo, while his own opponent was just a mere True Core Grandmaster, which was practically an effortless task. Naturally, it was Chen Yuan, who had strived desperately, that should take more.
“I shouldn’t even take as much as ten percent…”
Before Shangguan Yu could finish speaking, Chen Yuan interrupted him, saying in a deep voice:
“Let me speak first, if you two will.”
“What do you wish to say, Brother Chen?”
“Chen has slain Tang Xianzhuo, and taking forty percent for this leading contribution is justified. Brother Liu has also killed a Grandmaster of Tang Sect, so taking thirty percent is fair. However, I have one more condition.”
“What is it?”
“I shall not participate in the aftermath of this battle. The remaining tasks, including hunting down the remnants and negotiating with the Jianghu Martial Artists, will be handled by you two. After all, fair is fair. If you take these spoils, you must do some things in return.”
He wasn’t the only one who had clashed with Tang Sect. Taking more would certainly be uncontested, but it would look bad, and he wouldn’t be able to pursue the remnants of Tang Sect, which could lead to future trouble.
But sharing the spoils would be different.
The Liu and Shangguan clans were both significant powers in Shuzhou, inherently strong, while those Martial Artists would also work harder to hunt down all the remnants of Tang Sect due to the benefits they received.
It would resolve his potential concerns from this battle.
And it would also earn him a good reputation.
To him, this was the optimal solution.
Shangguan Yu and Liu Zhenzong exchanged glances, nodding slightly:
“Alright, then let us follow Brother Chen’s proposal.”
“As for the forty percent that belongs to me, leave it to Brother Shangguan to deliver to my residence in Tangshan Prefecture.”
“Rest assured, Brother Chen.”
In just a few words, they had divided the spoils, and at the same time, the confrontation on the field had also come to a complete end. The nearly a hundred Jianghu Martial Artists fell silent for a long while, then suddenly one of them bowed deeply to Chen Yuan:
“We thank Brother Chen, the Green Envoy, for your rescue today.”
One led the way, and the others followed suit, bowing in succession.
Chen Yuan accepted the gesture gracefully; without him, their fates indeed would have been vastly different.
But after accepting their gratitude, he addressed the crowd:
“Regarding today’s events…”
After a speech full of righteous words, Chen Yuan mentioned the issue they were concerned about; upon hearing that they would receive twenty percent, joy appeared on many people’s faces.
Even though it was only twenty percent, for them, it was a considerable fortune.
Besides, even if Chen Yuan didn’t share with them, what could they possibly do?
With Chen Yuan’s strength, eliminating them would be a piece of cake.
So they bowed again, saying:
“Thank you, Brother Chen, the Green Envoy.”
“Thank you…”
