Chapter 536 - 264: Yan Yingsi Devours Feng Yongkang_2

"Top-grade Foundation Establishment Magical Artifact!" Liou Yuan immediately recognized the quality of the artifact in Mao Shengjie’s hand.

It was precisely because of this artifact that Mao Shengjie was able to unleash that strange, silent magic with such great power.

"Chaotic Soul Ring!" Liou Yuan shouted out the name of Mao Shengjie’s artifact.

The Chaotic Soul Ring wasn’t forged by Mao Shengjie; he obtained it from an ancient cultivator’s dwelling.

There were obvious signs of damage on it, indicating that before it was damaged, it was at least a Peak of Foundation Establishment Magical Artifact.

Even so, Mao Shengjie, leveraging this artifact and matching magic, thrived in the Slaughter Blade Camp.

"If this slashing blow had caught my body off guard, I wouldn’t end up like Feng Yongkang, but I would certainly be severely wounded."

"As expected of Mao Shengjie, renowned for assassination—I must be wary of him in the future."

Liou Yuan secretly rose in vigilance against Mao Shengjie.

After all, he wasn’t really Dou Qianyu. If he was exposed, Mao Shengjie could anytime turn into a menacing specter.

Liou Yuan was wary of Mao Shengjie’s methods, and the latter was similarly cautious of the technique Liou Yuan had previously used to immobilize Feng Yongkang.

Previously, he could unreservedly engage with Dou Qianyu, apart from past ties, the most important reason being that Mao Shengjie thought he could beat Dou Qianyu, posing no threat.

Now he was somewhat more careful.

He didn’t even approach immediately.

Needless to say, Mao Shengjie survived not only by being fierce but also cautious.

Hence, the two, who were supposed to be familiar, silently faced each other after killing Feng Yongkang, and the scene became eerily quiet.

Splash! The black seawater struck the reef, producing the sound of waves shattering.

Liou Yuan was the first to break the silence, showing a mischievous smile on his tattooed face: "Mr. Mao, did my power scare you?"

The familiar tone and the smile full of jest on Liou Yuan’s face slightly eased Mao Shengjie’s alertness. Feeling embarrassed, he muttered a curse: "It’s your grandpa who got scared! Your damn power is hard for me to see through."

"If you’re like this, it’s not close enough, come over here." Liou Yuan beckoned Mao Shengjie, signaling him to come closer.

"Since we’ve killed Feng Yongkang, we should divide his assets, you have to come closer for us to split them."

Mao Shengjie pursed his lips, actually not believing Dou Qianyu would act against him.

After hearing Liou Yuan’s words, he was emboldened and started to glide over slowly.

But during this process, he still held the Chaotic Soul Ring without putting it away.

Liou Yuan observed all this with a slight smile.

Mao Shengjie was too close to Dou Qianyu; though it wasn’t apparent in the short term, over time, he feared he would be exposed.

So Mao Shengjie’s current caution toward him wasn’t a bad thing for Liou Yuan.

At least after this battle, Mao Shengjie wouldn’t come seeking him as recklessly as before.

This was beneficial to Liou Yuan’s continued infiltration into the Nightmare Demon Palace.

Liou Yuan pretended not to notice Mao Shengjie’s wariness as he reached out towards Feng Yongkang’s corpse in the sea.

The storage bag hanging at his waist was already in his hand.

The two began to divide Feng Yongkang’s assets.

Except for some miscellaneous trifles that weren’t valuable.

The storage bag contained over a thousand Star Stones, some Jade Scrolls related to Divine Sense magic, two Foundation Establishment level artifacts, spirit medicines, and various elixirs.

Liou Yuan wasn’t interested in the elixirs and magic of demon cultivators and didn’t touch them.

He received five hundred Star Stones, a Foundation Establishment Magical Artifact long rod, and a Foundation Establishment Spirit Plant.

The finished elixirs, the iron fan artifact, and the Jade Scroll related to Divine Sense magic were given to Mao Shengjie.

Then the two returned to Feng Yongkang’s retreat island stone chamber and turned it inside out, finding some scattered spiritual objects.

Before leaving, Liou Yuan took away the large green stone standing in front of the stone chamber door.

It was a Foundation Establishment level Spiritual Object, usable as an array core.

"Feng Yongkang, Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, really had abundant assets." Liou Yuan was quite satisfied with the gains from this trip, left the place, and couldn’t help but sigh.

He finally understood why demon cultivators loved ambush and plundering other cultivators.

This blatant grabbing of resources was much easier than earning them through hard work.

"Hey! This isn’t all, part of his assets is still in his territory."

"Now that Feng Yongkang is dead, we should go claim his territory."

"I’ll head over there one day and organize the resources there and bring them over to you."

Due to the good harvest, Mao Shengjie was in a good mood and started eyeing Feng Yongkang’s territory.

Now that Feng Yongkang was dead, that territory naturally became an ownerless town that he definitely planned to take over.

Although it doesn’t yield much yearly, over ten or a hundred years, it turns into quite an objective wealth.

However, the things over there aren’t easy to split.

After discussing with Liou Yuan, they decided that the town would belong to Mao Shengjie, and the things Feng Yongkang left behind there would go to Liou Yuan.

This way, both had no objections.

Upon returning to the Nightmare Demon Palace, they bid farewell to each other.

Returning to the dwelling, the first thing Liou Yuan did was to bury Feng Yongkang’s green stone as an array core in the center of the residence.

This elevated the power of the array of the original owner’s dwelling.

After confirming that the array’s power could isolate external Divine Sense probing, Liou Yuan didn’t immediately take out the gains from this trip to inventory them.
