Chapter 2267: Chapter 2287: Let’s Go, Time to Split the Loot!_1

The collapse of the Array Formation not only affected the escaping Linglong Tower but also swept up Qi Wuchang and the others in a burst of violent energy, plunging the scene into immediate chaos.

By the time Qi Wuchang and the others had cleared the violent energy before them, the Linglong Tower had already shot into the sky, turning into a point of light before disappearing into the Sky Dome.

Qi Wuchang’s face turned an ashen color, and he transformed into a long rainbow, chasing after it towards the Sky Dome.

The others, unwilling to show weakness, soared into the sky one after another, pursuing the Linglong Tower.

On a distant mountain peak, many cultivators from the Three Sects stood watching this astonishing scene, and they immediately burst into exclamations.

Among the crowd, a disciple watched the disappearing Linglong Tower with a look of surprise on his face. Seizing the moment when everyone’s attention was focused on the battlefield ahead, he stealthily retreated to an unnoticed area and, with a flash, completely vanished into the distance.

When the man reappeared, he was already a hundred miles away, and he continued to hurry towards the distance without stopping. Soon, he was a thousand miles away.

He stopped, looking confusedly into the sky.

"Lin Chen should be in that tower, managing to block the branding I left before and breaking the Absolute Void Formation with a single strike. This tower has some history," he mused.

A smile appeared on the man’s face, "Because my identity was exposed and I tricked you, I was originally planning to come to your rescue, but it turned out to be an unnecessary move. Well then, let’s meet at our agreed-upon place!"

The man’s figure vanished in an instant, as if he had never been there at all.

...

The Linglong Tower fell from the Sky Dome, and Lin Chen’s figure appeared on a mountain peak.

He determined his direction and then headed towards the eastern region.

He and Bai Yunfei had previously arranged to meet at a set place if they got separated.

Bai Yunfei’s theft of the Three Sects’ loot had led to his identity exposure, throwing Lin Chen into complete peril, but Lin Chen didn’t complain.

It was Bai Yunfei who was exposed, and so was he—after all, hadn’t he shown his face in Meditation Valley and used his real name?

He was partly to blame for the exposure of his identity, so he couldn’t fault Bai Yunfei.

Instead, Bai Yunfei’s ability to continually swap identities and steal many important materials without being discovered impressed Lin Chen quite a bit.

After a day’s flight, Lin Chen arrived at the meeting place, Shanlan City, as arranged with Bai Yunfei.

As soon as Lin Chen entered the city, he saw Bai Yunfei standing on the main road, laughing at him.

"I’ve been waiting for you for a while..."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "As soon as I left the Secret Realm, I was surrounded by an Absolute Void Formation and nearly caught like a turtle in a jar."

Bai Yunfei nodded, "I know, I saw the whole thing."

Lin Chen looked up in surprise, "You were at the scene?"

Bai Yunfei nodded, "I saw you leaving with Chi Zai and, with Tai Xu and Shepherd Heavenly Monarch backing you up, I figured you wouldn’t be in any danger, so I didn’t come looking for you. Instead, I took the chance to strike when they were unprepared, stealing the Spatial Rings holding their exploratory loot."

"Although I thought you would be safe, I was still worried that my actions would implicate you, so I disguised myself and blended back in. Seeing them set up the Array Formation outside the entrance, I knew they were aiming to capture you."

"I was prepared to wait until they made a move on you, then strike from outside the formation to break it and find a chance to rescue you, but you proved to be much tougher than I thought, breaking out of so many Daluo Ultimate Immortals’ grasp..."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "They fought over my Linglong Tower, giving me the chance. Otherwise, it would have been really difficult to escape."

Bai Yunfei bowed slightly to apologize, "Brother Lin, I’m sorry. You brought me into the Secret Realm, but in the end, I ended up trapping you..."

Lin Chen waved his hand dismissively, "It’s a minor issue, don’t worry about it. Actually, I was careless too. I thought that being new here, no one would recognize me, so I didn’t even use a fake name. Little did I know, I’d actually be recognized."

Bai Yunfei said with a laugh, "Let’s go find a safe place to divvy up the loot."

Lin Chen was somewhat surprised, "Divvy up the loot?"

Bai Yunfei said cheerfully, "The loot I stole from the three sects’ Spatial Rings. Inside, there’s a collection of all the treasures from the Three Sects’ adventures in the Secret Realm. I briefly scanned it with my Divine Sense, and there are not a few good items. Let’s split it!"

Lin Chen said with astonishment, "All these things were obtained by your own efforts, and they have nothing to do with me. Just keep them for yourself. Why would you share with me?"

Bai Yunfei explained, "The information about the Secret Realm came from you. Usually, in our line of work, just for that, you would be entitled to at least a fifth of the total haul. And because of what I did, it also brought you into danger. So all things considered, you’ve taken as much risk as I have. That’s why I think we should split everything here fifty-fifty."

Lin Chen was quite surprised, not by the rules Bai Yunfei mentioned but by how readily Bai Yunfei was following them.

With Shenkong Sect’s Divine Dragon known for being elusive, who could find him once he made away with the loot?

Wouldn’t all the spoils then belong only to him?
