525: Qu Hongkai and Yang Yuansi
However, the distribution process was not smooth.
The five clearly all wanted the two Half-Immortal Artifacts, and so the tense atmosphere began to gather again.
Jin Feng naturally was unwilling to lose the Half-Immortal Artifact. Relying on his strength and status, he disregarded everyone's objections and directly took Sect Leader Mu Qingyang's stone tablet into his hand, then calmly stated:
"I am the initiator of this operation and also the strongest Cultivator. Both in reason and sentiment, I should receive one Half-Immortal Artifact. I'll take this one; I don't want any others. You all can decide on the remaining Half-Immortal Artifact."
His voice was beyond doubt, carrying the authority of a superior.
Everyone was displeased, but considering his strength, they could only snort coldly and tacitly agree.
Thus, the four looked at the Magic Treasures on the ground.
However, none of the four looked at the twelve Dao-grade Top-Quality Magic Treasures; their gazes were fixed on the last Half-Immortal Artifact, their eyes gleaming with greed, showing a clear intention to fight again if a single word went awry.
Just as the tension was at its peak, a joyous laugh suddenly assailed everyone from all directions!
"Hahaha, what a windfall! So many Half-Immortal Artifacts, and so many Dao-grade Top-Quality Magic Treasures! I'm rich, I'm rich!"
The laughter was melodious, but within it, an extremely terrifying aura slowly spread with the sound waves, causing everyone's hearts to tighten.
Upon hearing this laughter, Jin Feng's expression instantly changed drastically. He held the golden greatsword in his right hand and the stone tablet in his left, looking around, and sternly rebuked:
"Who? You sneaking rat, come out!"
Although his voice was very aggressive, full of anger and vigilance, his nervous expression betrayed the fear and unease in his heart at that moment.
"Hahaha, you little fellow, your temper is quite fiery, but your strength, well, it's a bit weak."
As the voice sounded, two figures slowly appeared before everyone.
The two were precisely the Experts who had traveled from the Central Region!
One was named Qu Hongkai, a Supreme Expert, with the Perfection of Ascension Realm, and now a Three-Source Supreme.
His body exuded a heavy and majestic aura, like an ancient mountain, making people look at him with awe. His eyes were as deep as an abyss; with just a light glance, he seemed able to see through all of everyone's secrets.
The other was named Yang Yuansi, also a Supreme Expert, with the Perfection of Ascension Realm, and also a Three-Source Supreme. His demeanor was refined, dressed in a white robe, holding a folding fan. He appeared graceful, but in reality, he harbored hidden killing intent.
Both were peerless Experts who had comprehended nine hundred to one thousand two hundred Dao of Origin!
They had already detected the battle aura here from above the Devouring Demon Sea, so they carefully hid themselves.
After all, such terrifying Immortal Qi, even with their cultivation, made their hearts tremble a little.
In their Central Region, if they were to encounter such a terrifying struggle, these two would not have the courage to join the fun. But this was the Eastern Region, where it was rumored there wasn't even a Supreme Expert, so they certainly had to come and investigate.
Once they investigated the specific situation, the two instantly became ecstatic.
This was actually a group of Cultivators who hadn't even reached the Ascension Realm, controlling so many Half-Immortal Artifacts in a duel?
What was going on? How could mere Cultivators of the Yang Solid Realm possess so many Half-Immortal Artifacts?
One must know that even with their cultivation, they only possessed one Half-Immortal Artifact, and that was obtained after countless hardships!
In their Central Region, some Four-Source Supremes might not even possess Half-Immortal Artifacts!
However, joy was one thing, but the two still didn't act impulsively. They waited in the dark for the battle to end, wanting to know if there were any other masters nearby!
It wasn't until one side was completely defeated and the victors began to distribute the spoils that the two decided to reveal themselves.
From this, one could also see the cautious nature of the two. An ordinary Supreme Expert, seeing a few Cultivators of the Yang Solid Realm possessing so many peerless Magic Treasures, would probably have already moved to snatch them, unable to wait even a moment.
Qu Hongkai walked, while simultaneously activating his Domain!
Domain, descend!
A unique method of a Supreme Expert!
In an instant, everyone was powerless to resist. All below Supreme were like ants; whether it was Yang Solidification Ninth Level or Foundation Establishment Realm, there was essentially no significant difference.
The two Supreme Experts also took all the Magic Treasures without any suspense.
Jin Feng and the other four watched helplessly as their Magic Treasures were taken, feeling incredibly aggrieved. This was truly a case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice... If they had left the shore earlier, perhaps these two mysterious Experts wouldn't have targeted them.
At this moment, their hearts were filled with regret... and also with anger and helplessness.
Facing the two Supreme Experts, they dared not resist in the slightest, nor could they resist in the slightest, only able to watch as their treasures were taken away.
As for the other fourteen, at this moment, their hearts felt an immense sense of exhilaration.
They looked at the pathetic state of Jin Feng and the others, secretly pleased. Some even couldn't help but mock:
"Hahaha, old fellow, I didn't expect you to end up like this. Remember one thing: those who harm others will be harmed by others!"
These words were like a sharp sword, piercing directly into the hearts of Jin Feng and the others.
After Qu Hongkai and Yang Yuansi obtained the Magic Treasures, they immediately began to distribute them. Yang Yuansi took four Half-Immortal Artifacts, while Qu Hongkai took three Half-Immortal Artifacts and all the Dao-grade Top-Quality Magic Treasures.
After the distribution, Qu Hongkai looked at the Magic Treasures in his hand, a gleam of greed flashing in his eyes. He opened his mouth and asked everyone:
"How do you, with your mere Yang Solid cultivation, possess so many Half-Immortal Artifacts?! Quickly tell the truth! If there is any concealment, don't blame me for being merciless!"
Qu Hongkai's voice carried an incredibly strong sense of oppression.
Upon hearing this, Jin Feng quickly stepped forward a few steps and rapidly said:
"Two sirs, I will tell you everything. Can you spare my life?"
Qu Hongkai said indifferently:
"Yes, speak."
"This Magic Treasure of mine was bestowed by a Senior named Lu Hao. From what I saw, the Magic Treasures in his hand were countless! And all were of extremely high quality!"
"Also... besides us, Cultivators from other states also obtained these Magic Treasures, and many of them were Half-Immortal Artifacts!"
His voice trembled slightly, clearly filled with fear towards Qu Hongkai.
The two exchanged glances, a hint of confusion flashing in their eyes. They said, "Lu Hao?"
