103: Absolute belief
Yang Yi blinked and hurriedly explained.
"That's not true."
"Don't listen to what others are gossiping about."
"How could our Yang family possibly have that kind of Medicinal Pill?"
"If we really had them, experts of the Life and Death Realm in our Yang family would be walking everywhere."
"But you also know that our Yang family only has five people in the Life and Death Realm."
Haitang's expression instantly turned unhappy. Her originally pretty little face was now filled with a trace of anger.
"So you don't want to cooperate with me?"
"I didn't expect you to be an ungrateful person."
"Forget it, forget it."
"Just pretend I never said anything."
Haitang was extremely disappointed. She shook her head slightly, nearly shedding tears. She walked toward her camp, looking dejected.
As she walked, she thought to herself that Yang Yi was definitely not an ungrateful person and would surely call out to her.
However, when she reached the camp, Yang Yi still hadn't called out to her.
She turned her head abruptly to look at Yang Yi, only to find that he was already horsing around with Yue Lingxin, not caring about her at all.
She gritted her teeth, a grinding sound coming from her mouth.
Tiancan Old Man stood to the side with his arms crossed, gloating.
"Calculated wrong, didn't you?"
"You helped him, but he might not be willing to help you."
Haitang smiled, the anger on her face gradually subsiding.
"What is there to be disappointed about?"
"He will cooperate with me."
"Is that so?"
"If I'm not mistaken, he rejected you, right?"
"He didn't reject me, he just wouldn't admit it," Haitang replied.
Tiancan Old Man couldn't help but laugh out loud, drawing the attention of many.
He lowered his voice and whispered into Haitang's ear.
"Isn't that the same thing?"
Haitang looked at him and shook her head firmly. This was not the same.
Tiancan Old Man did not press the issue further. He didn't think there was any difference, but in Haitang's eyes, the difference was significant.
Furthermore, she possessed a confidence in Yang Yi that welled up from the bottom of her heart. She believed that Yang Yi would absolutely not let her down.
Although Yang Yi's behavior just now made her very Life Qi, she felt that Yang Yi was doing it on purpose to annoy her, or perhaps there was some other reason that made him temporarily unwilling to make this deal.
She was certain that if Yang Yi were to conduct business with Medicinal Pills, he would definitely choose her, not someone else.
Yue Lingxin grabbed one of Yang Yi's arms, staring at him with burning eyes, asking how he knew Haitang and what the two of them were talking about just now.
The people from the Luoyue Sect were nearby. Hearing Yue Lingxin ask this, they all pricked up their ears to listen, also wanting to know what Yang Yi and Haitang were talking about, and why Haitang had left in a huff.
Yang Yi told Yue Lingxin that Haitang had helped him during the battle at the Zhang family, which was how they knew each other. As for what they were talking about just now, he casually brushed it off with a few words.
How could Yue Lingxin believe Yang Yi's words? She angrily shook off Yang Yi's hand and went to find Haitang.
If she couldn't get information from Yang Yi, she would go ask Haitang. Her relationship with Haitang was quite good, so Haitang would surely tell her.
However, upon running to Haitang's side, before she could even open her mouth, Haitang waved her hand at her and said something that left Yue Lingxin unable to say a single word.
"Don't ask anything."
"I won't say a single word."
"Hmph, fine, don't say it then."
"What's so great about that?"
"Sooner or later, I'll find out."
Leaving these words behind, Yue Lingxin returned, fuming.
That night, everyone slept quite soundly because there had been no friction while interacting with others.
This was a good sign. Perhaps they could cooperate to get everything out of the Purple River Valley and then divide it equally.
Yang Yi even had a sweet dream where everyone lived in peace and eventually divided all the treasures equally.
However, reality would definitely not be like that.
Early the next morning, Yang Yi discovered that some people had already entered the Purple River Valley at some point.
There were still some who had not entered. Under a tree not far away, an old man was leaning against the trunk, practicing his punches.
As he struck, he let out a gloating sneer.
"Heh heh. Entering the Purple River Valley in the middle of the night. This is wanting wealth but not their lives. I'd like to see if they can bring anything out."
Another expert nearby continued his words: "Some people think they are smart, but in reality, they are pitifully stupid. The earlier they go, the sooner they die. I don't think they'll be coming back."
Many people nearby laughed out loud, clearly not optimistic about the group that had broken into the Purple River Valley early.
Just as Yang Yi and the others were eating, a few people ran out of the Purple River Valley in a wretched state.
One of them had a severed arm, dripping with blood.
Yang Yi, who was eating, almost vomited. He quickly turned his head to the other side to avoid looking at the bloody scene.
The seven Elders of the Diancang Sect enthusiastically ran over to greet the injured people, exchanging pleasantries and asking how they were, what exactly had happened, and how they had ended up in such a state.
After this group finished explaining the situation inside, the seven people exchanged glances. Suddenly, with a flash of blades, they beheaded the injured people.
This scene happened extremely quickly. It was exactly the moment Yang Yi put a bun into his mouth to take a bite that these seven Elders killed those people.
Yang Yi even forgot to chew, swallowing the bun in his mouth directly, dumbfounded.
These old guys were truly ruthless. They killed people while chatting and laughing, and they had also gathered information about the inside clearly.
According to what those people said, there were a large number of Vicious Beasts inside the Purple River Valley, generally at the Earth Star Realm, with quite a few at the Earth Moon Realm.
They were surrounded by Vicious Beasts as soon as they entered. They were the few who had luckily fought their way out of the encirclement.
As for the others, they had long since been eaten by the Vicious Beasts, leaving not even bone fragments behind.
The Elder of the Diancang Sect, Yujingtai, glanced at the corpses on the ground. One Elder kicked a corpse away without mercy, then looked at the crowd around him and said loudly:
"Everyone. You must have heard clearly what those people just said. There are many Vicious Beasts in the valley. If we don't join forces, I'm afraid we won't get anything."
Everyone nodded frequently and responded one after another.
"Well said. We must work together now. First, we will wipe out all the Vicious Beasts in the valley, and then make other plans."
"Cooperation is fine. But how should we cooperate?" Haitang questioned.
Although she was young, she had quite a reputation among everyone, and people listened to her words seriously.
"I wonder what your thoughts are?" Yujingtai of the Diancang Sect asked.
Haitang stroked her chin and said with a smile: "You are all Seniors. As a junior, it is not appropriate for me to talk too much. I will only say a few words."
