Chapter 1352: Chapter 1372: Who would want a quarter if they could take a half?_1

Ancestral master?

The title used by a disciple of the White Crane Immortal Sect drew everyone’s attention.

How could this young-looking person have such a superior status?

Could it be an old beast who consumed a rare treasure and regained its youth?

Lin Chen asked, "What’s the scenario?"

The lead White Crane disciple, Wan Jiwu, bent and replied, "Our team and the Flowing Cloud Sect team discovered this place first. We had a dispute, then other teams arrived in succession. We had all sent a distress signal..."

Lin Chen asked, "Is someone injured?"

Wan Jiwu answered, "There is a scorpion in the grass under the tree, about twenty centimeters long. It survived a blow from a human immortal and broke his palm strength." The sting on his tail is extremely toxic, and he is trying to expel the poison by running his internal energy..."

A twenty-centimeter-long scorpion broke the defense of a human Immortal?

Is it that strong?

Lin Chen’s eyes brightened, this could be counted as a rare talent, was it a beast from another realm?

Just as he was thinking this, Liu Qianyun arrived.

"You watch them, I’ll check it out."

After understanding the situation, Lin Chen decided to act proactively. It would be troublesome if more people showed up.

Since they had all seen the Misty Moon Peaches, they naturally wanted to get their hands on them!

Just as Lin Chen was about to leap forward, the leading Human Immortal from Flowing Cloud Sect, Zhuo Fan, spoke coldly, "Considering there are so many of us here, do you intend to claim these Misty Moon Peaches as your own?"

Lin Chen casually responded, "They have to be picked, don’t they? Could it be that we should just keep watching and the peaches will settle on their own?"

Zhuo Fan scoffed, "Let’s discuss it first, then act. We wouldn’t want to hurt each other."

Lin Chen halted his steps and smiled, "Alright, let’s discuss."

Zhuo Fan was taken aback, surprised that Lin Chen was so easy-going. After he cautioned him, Lin Chen actually agreed?

Is he backing down?

Zhuo Fan turned to the other two sect leaders, "Since we all discovered this together, and there are not too few Misty Moon Peaches, why don’t we divide them equally to prevent any conflict?"

Lin Chen frowned slightly but didn’t comment

He wanted to see what the others had to say.

If everyone agreed to share equally, then Lin Chen could accept this outcome. But a gut feeling told him that it wouldn’t be that simple.

The Misty Moon Peaches were exceedingly precious, who wouldn’t want to possess them entirely?

Liu Qianyun, seeing Lin Chen remain silent, also kept quiet. Lin Chen was the highest-ranking member of the Baiyun Immortal Sect there, and he had proven his strength. Naturally, she followed his lead.

The two Human Immortal team leaders from the Haotian Sect, who looked similar, exchanged glances. The one on the left, Gongsun Tu, spoke in a deep voice, "The riches of the world belong to those who can acquire them. If everything has to be shared equally, what’s the point of exploring separately, or even fighting over it?"

As expected!

Lin Chen curled the corner of his mouth, knowing that someone would disagree.

Among the four sects, both Human Immortals from the White Crane Immortal Sect and the Haotian Sect were present. The Flowing Cloud Sect and Yunze Sect only had one representative each. This was clearly not balanced. Under such circumstances, why would the powerful ones agree to a weak one’s request for equal division?

Zhuo Fan sneered, "What, do you Gongsun brothers think that because you have more people, you can win?"

Without paying any attention to Zhuo Fan, Gongsun Tu turned to Lin Chen, "Fellow cultivator from the White Crane Immortal Sect, as we all have two people each, our strengths are quite equal. We could join forces, drive them away first, then divide the peaches equally. How about that?"

Lin Chen readily agreed, "Good"

Why settle for a quarter when he could have half?

Zhuo Fan’s expression changed drastically, "Want to bully the weak with numbers?"

The other silent Gongsun, Gongsun Hai, spoke coldly, "Enough with the nonsense. Either leave or die. Perhaps you might escape, but how many of your followers can survive is another matter."

Zhuo Fan’s countenance became quite ugly. He turned to look at the muscular man on the ground, "Qi Jun, what do you say?"

The muscular man stood up, raising his right arm and observed it. It was still veiled in a residual black mist.

"Damn it, it’s really poisonous! Just my bad luck!"

Qi Jun ignored Zhuo Fan and decisively stood up, "Let’s go!"

Qi Jun withdrew with his people directly, leaving Zhuo Fan in an even weaker state. He glanced around, then sneered, "Regardless, we’ll meet again. We’re leaving!"

Zhuo Fan quickly left with the members of the Flowing Cloud Sect. After they had covered a hundred li, he halted, his face sullen as he ordered, "The Gongsun brothers are greedy and brutal. They’ve only teamed up with the White Crane Immortal Sect temporarily, and they’ll inevitably start fighting later. You go on ahead; I’ll go back and check."

He instructed his team to continue exploring in another direction, while he cautiously returned the way they had come.

He was about to approach the valley when he felt a movement in his heart and looked into the distance.

The figure flashing between the trees on the opposite mountain peak - if it wasn’t Qi Jun, who could it be?

Zhuo Fan smirked but wasn’t too surprised.

All of them were old foxes who had lived for a thousand years. Who would really be willing to give up so many Misty Moon Peaches so easily?

Previously, disciples from the same sect were present, causing a reluctance to cause mutual harm. Now, with this hindrance gone, why not start a war?

If they couldn’t defeat their opponents, they could always run away!

Just as Zhuo Fan had this thought, Qi Jun also noticed him, froze for a moment, then flew over.

"Damn, you really are cunning!"

Zhuo Fan fired back, "Likewise, what do you suggest?"

Qi Jun grunted coldly, "We join forces, wait for a chance, and deal with them!"
