Chapter 1990: Chapter 1021: On the Brink of Conflict
At this mont, Lin Tianming pondered over the words spoken by the cultivator, and soon ca to a judgnt.
Moreover, Lin Tianming would not fully trust the other party.
In his view, the other party was currently being chased by a large group of Black Gold Apes, completely at a significant disadvantage, with the situation extrely unfavorable to them, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say they faced a constant risk of falling.
Thus, at this critical juncture, the few cultivators on the other side, in order to survive or lower the risk of falling, ended up drawing the Lin Family mbers into their alliance.
If the Lin Family mbers decide to join, then after this group of Black Gold Apes is dealt with, whether the other party can fulfill their promise is still highly variable.
After all, the other party possessed fighting strength exceeding four Late Stage Golden Core cultivators, and they were unaware of the strength of the three of them.
On this basis, once the threat of falling has disappeared, would they still adhere to honesty and trust?
On this point, Lin Tianming would not easily believe.
Because he understood human nature, and more importantly, he knew that in the current cultivation world, it’s not uncommon for people to betray each other after their needs are t.
Especially when faced with enormous benefits, even if they had fought side by side previously, the chance of the other party keeping their promise was extrely low.
In such circumstances, the claims and promises of the other party are likely just a strategic delay tactic.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming had already predicted the developnt of subsequent events.
And precisely because of this, Lin Tianming was not worried internally.
Because as he saw it, although the Lin Family had only three people, each was at the Golden Core Perfect Cultivation realm, their strength was absolutely outstanding among cultivators of the sa rank.
On this basis, Lin Tianming was strongly confident that just the few mbers of the Lin Family could retreat safely from the siege of the Black Gold Ape Group.
As for those four people on the opposite side, let alone that they were injured, even at their peak, combined, they would not be opponents for the Lin Family here.
Therefore, if they agreed to the other party’s request and joined the opposite camp, indeed they could reap quite respectable rewards.
Bear in mind, the Black Gold Wood that the other party ntioned is a rather excellent Third Order Spiritual Material, its value in the sa category of treasures is considered among the top tiers.
Furthermore, according to what the other party indicated, in the Black Gold Ape Group territory, there was a considerable amount of Black Gold Wood.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t imdiately promise up to forty percent of the returns upon speaking just now.
From this perspective, these rewards are indeed worth the Lin Family taking action.
After all, they entered the Ancient Demon Secret Realm with treasure hunting as their purpose from the start.
And the value of Black Gold Wood is not low, its applications within the current cultivation world are extensive, particularly in artifact refining and formations, where it has a great role.
Moreover, at the mont, the few mbers of the Lin Family lacked better places to go; instead of wandering aimlessly to eventually gain nothing, it was better to seize the benefits before them now.
And subsequently, if the other party fails to fulfill their promise, there’s no need for the Lin Family to be polite.
At that point, the other party would be made clearly aware of the true power of the Lin Family.
Once realizing this, Lin Tianming already had so ideas.
Therefore, in the next mont, Lin Tianming imdiately changed his attitude, his facial expression softened considerably.
Then, Lin Tianming smiled slightly, easing the atmosphere on the scene, while enthusiastically asking a question.
“Fellow cultivator, is what you said true?”
“If it’s really as you say, and we gain forty percent of the final returns.”
“For these benefits, given that we are all part of the Human Race, even if facing so risks, we are willing to take action once.”
“Just… hope the fellow cultivator can keep your promise!”
Having said this, Lin Tianming once again changed his tone and subsequently spoke with a threatening tone: “Otherwise, if the fellow cultivator betrays us after crossing the river, don’t bla us for being ruthless!”
“At that ti, even if we have to risk our lives, we will not let you off!”
Lin Tianming said fiercely, his facial expression very stern, displaying powerful montum.
Particularly at this mont, Lin Tianming slightly released so of his energy, evidently intending to deter the opposing Golden Core cultivators.
Of course, Lin Tianming wouldn’t release all his energy, instead unleashing less than thirty percent.
He did this to avoid letting the other side understand their true strength.
Conversely, if he unleashed it all, the other party might detect Lin Tianming’s strength as overwhelmingly dominant, providing them too much advantage.
As a result, the other party wouldn’t dare to collaborate with them.
Therefore, Lin Tianming rely released less than thirty percent of his aura, already causing the opposing mbers to feel significant pressure.
It’s worth noting that Lin Tianming’s current power was comparable to a regular Nascent Soul Early Stage expert.
In contrast, among the present human cultivators, the highest was rely at the Great Perfection Golden Core realm, and there was a notable gap in power with Lin Tianming.
On this basis, if Lin Tianming released his full aura, he might imdiately suppress them completely.
And in the current cultivation world, the foundation of cooperation depends on relatively close power levels on both sides, ensuring possible ample collaboration.
Conversely, if either party’s power is too overwhelming, the other side will worry about being double-crossed or losing speaking rights in future collaborations.
