"Hehe, since we all share the same goal, things should be simple. This Vast Righteous Academy was founded by Xue An with his own hands back in the day. I’m not sure about its actual power, so to be cautious, why don’t we form an alliance to deal with it? Once it’s done, we’ll split the rewards seventy-thirty. How do you see it?"
After saying this, Shi Yang looked at Xue An with a bright gaze.
Xue An smiled indifferently, "It sounds good, but the question is how exactly is this seventy-thirty split supposed to work?"
"Is it seventy for me and thirty for you?" Xue An said lightly.
Xue An’s words made Shi Yang’s eyes flash with a hint of malice.
Shi Yang’s followers behind him showed anger on their faces.
But Shi Yang was evidently very deep-minded, and this trace of abnormal color was quickly concealed. He chuckled lightly, "My friend, with so many of us here and just one of you wanting seventy percent, isn’t that a bit too greedy? Unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless your power is enough to surpass us, otherwise..." Shi Yang did not finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue An suddenly laughed, and then the light in his eyes burst forth.
An immense aura rose from him, and under this pressure, Shi Yang and his followers involuntarily took a few steps back, faces filled with amazement.
"Is this sort of strength enough?" Xue An said calmly.
Shi Yang’s face showed solemnity, and he murmured softly, "Half-step Immortal King?"
Xue An nodded.
He was deliberately suppressing his strength to release this aura.
The reason was simple, he didn’t want to reveal his identity just yet, and he wanted to know where this news came from.
Could there be a traitor within Vast Righteous Academy?
So, he planned to keep his identity hidden for now and deal with things after entering the planet.
At the same time.
Shi Yang took a deep breath and forcibly calmed the tremors in his heart.
He never expected that the "ordinary" white-clothed youth opposite him would actually be a strong half-step Immortal King.
Don’t underestimate a half-step Immortal King; this level of power is considered top-notch in The Multiverse.
In the realm of Bounty Hunters, it’s even regarded as elite.
But soon, Shi Yang collected himself and cupped his hands respectfully, "Since you are a master of the half-step Immortal King level, then it’s only right for you to take seventy percent!"
His followers were stirred by his words, but under his usual authority, no one dared oppose, only looking at him with bewildered expressions.
Xue An also smiled lightly and gave Shi Yang a deep look.
"Alright, since that’s the case, let’s say it’s decided!"
"Great, I have some matters to attend to. Later, let’s head to the planet together, okay?"
"No problem!"
After settling the discussion, Shi Yang led his group back to the starship.
As soon as they entered the starship, his followers erupted in protest.
"Boss, why would you do that? We’ve worked hard for this intel, and we’re about to succeed. Why should we hand seventy percent to that kid?" one shouted angrily.
"Exactly, it makes no sense, even if that kid is a half-step Immortal King, so what? With so many of us, are we supposed to be afraid of him?" another shouted indignantly.
Everyone expressed their confusion.
Shi Yang wasn’t in a rush, and waited until they were finished talking before speaking slowly, "Are you all done?"
His followers went silent.
"You all are so short-sighted. Do you think I really intend to give him seventy percent?"
Everyone shook with surprise, "Then what do you mean?"
Shi Yang sneered, "I’m just using him through this arrangement. After all, without a tasty bait, how would the fish bite the hook?"
At this point, a fierce expression appeared in Shi Yang’s eyes.
Actually, Shi Yang had long planned it out.
Right now, the most important thing is to extract Xue An’s whereabouts from Vast Righteous Academy. At this critical juncture, we cannot cause trouble, or once the news spreads, everything will be in vain.
And this youth appears to be a greenhorn. If we can fool him, isn’t it like getting an elite fighter cheaply?
As for the seventy-thirty split, it’s just a facade.
From the very beginning, he never planned to give Xue An a single bit.
This was his ruthlessness.
His followers, upon hearing there would be no split, all showed pleased expressions and showered him with flattery.
"Master Yang is indeed brilliant!"
"Now that kid is as good as trapped in Master Yang’s hands!"
Shi Yang smugly said, "Of course, just look at who I am!"
But what he didn’t know, was that all his words were heard by Xue An, word for word.
Even though the starship was layered with formations to guard against Divine Sense intrusion.
But these formations in Xue An’s eyes were like sieves, full of holes. Hence he effortlessly infused his Divine Sense into it.
At this moment.
After hearing Shi Yang’s words, Xue An simply smiled without speaking, only his eyes flashed with a cold glint.
Swiftly, Shi Yang and his party tidied up their starships, while Xue An was already waiting in the void ahead.
Shi Yang greeted with a broad smile, "Friend, I still don’t know your name. May I ask for your esteemed name?"
"My surname is Ling, and I’m called Zun! You can call me Ling Zun!"
"Ling Zun?"
"That’s right!"
Shi Yang felt that the name was odd, but he didn’t understand these ancient names from Hua, so he nodded and said, "Alright, Ling Zun, please acpany us."
At this moment, they were already very close to the light green planet, so with full momentum, they arrived above the planet in the blink of an eye.
Meanwhile, due to their imposing aura, the surface of the light green planet suddenly rippled, with a green light starting to flicker.
This was the sign of the defensive formation beginning to activate.
But before Shi Yang and others noticed, Xue An’s eyes flashed with light, and then the green light that had gathered dispersed, causing the defensive formation to halt.
Shi Yang and his party suspected nothing, thinking the planet had no defensive formation, and eagerly flew into the planet’s atmosphere.
After the last person entered, Xue An made a seal decision with his hand, causing the sky to tremble slightly, and the opening high above restored instantly.
This entire sequence went unnoticed by Shi Yang and his party, who eagerly flew onward.
At the same time.
On a mountain on the planet.
An old man in meditation suddenly opened his eyes.
"Master, what’s wrong?" A disciple quickly stepped forward to ask.
"Strange, I clearly felt a slight disturbance in the defense formation just now. How did it suddenly disappear?" The old man murmured, frowning.
