Chapter 919 Dividing Up Peacefully, Three Commanding Plates
Of course, this person that arrived was King Cicada, Head Chief of the Karakorum Immortal Clan.
Amongst these paramount totem elite warriors, King Cicada was a figure in which Qin Wushuang recognized. On this point, he shared the same mutual opinion as Senior Brother Li Buyi.
Of course, when encountering such matters, Qin Wushuang could not take care of the Dark Mysterious Clan alone. Therefore, he invited King Cicada to come assist.
King Cicada on the other hand, instructed his subordinates to keep a close eye on the movements of that Nine Change Celestial and to not beat the grass and scare the snake.
Of course, the legacy of a cave dwelling left by a Third Calamity Heavenly Supreme Dao warrior was a significant matter.
Kong Mingzi often did business with King Cicada and he was well aware of his power. Upon seeing him here, he also called out with endless grief.
"Daoist Kong Mingzi, in the past you did not seem to be a person looking for trouble. How come you cannot hold your composure now?" King Cicada asked in a calm and unruffled tone.
From left to right, Qin Wushuang and King Cicada stood on two sides. Vividly, it seemed that Qin Wushuang shared an equally matched temperament with King Cicada.
As Kong Mingzi looked at this disciple of the Qin Clan who suddenly ascended, for the time he felt incredibly strange. How could the temperament of this young man be this powerful?
In terms of the conflict at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain and how Qin Wushuang fought Xin Tianwen on a grand scale, this news spread across every corner of the Tian Xuan Land through different channels. He also shared a clear understanding of Qin Wushuang’s power.
Everyone was well aware that at that time, Qin Wushuang was hovering between the Genuine Supreme Dao and the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage. And currently, only less than twenty years had passed since the Heavenly Emperor Mountain battle.
How did this Qin Wushuang have the power to fight on par with paramount totem elite warriors all of a sudden?
For such a rapid speed of advancement, not only had he ever seen such a thing, he had never heard about it either.
Kong Mingzi realized something as he looked at the elite warriors surrounding the Dark Mysterious Clan and he felt somewhat bitter. In today’s situation, initially they had a clear advantage.
Following the appearance of King Cicada, their advantage instantly turned to a disadvantage.
This time, Kong Mingzi brought four elite warriors of the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage. He was on par with King Cicada, yet the strongest of his four subordinates was at the Fifth Calamity of the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage. Upon seeing Qin Wushuang standing there with an austere temperament, Kong Mingzi did not share much confidence in his subordinates.
However, as a totem powerhouse, it was impossible for the Dark Mysterious Clan to turn around to leave. If they did not take their shares from the Third Calamity Heavenly Supreme Dao dwelling, Kong Mingzi would never live it down.
"Daoist King Cicada, you are quick with responding to news," Kong Mingzi said with an eccentric tone. "We are all smart people, for my Dark Mysterious Clan will not walk away from this Third Calamity Heavenly Supreme Dao cave dwelling. Instead of wasting time, we should talk peacefully about its distribution."
Qin Wushuang and King Cicada exchanged a glance. They knew it was not easy to deal with this Kong Mingzi. It would be unrealistic if they were not to split any shares with him.
Even if they could join hands to defeat the Dark Mysterious Clan, Kong Mingzi would surely exaggerate the news and slander their encounter.
By that time, they would be in grave trouble.
King Cicada said with an indifferent tone, "Daoist Kong Mingzi, even though the Qin Clan found this cave dwelling first, it would be good to share the findings with the later arrivals. How about I make a suggestion?"
Kong Mingzi said with a cold sneer, "Tell me more."
"The Qin Clan is the vanguard, they get fifty percent. For the remaining half, I get thirty and you get twenty. How about it?"
In fact, this was an agreement King Cicada and Qin Wushuang came up with on the road.
Kong Mingzi said with a strange laugh, "Twenty percent? King Cicada, do you think you are dispatching a beggar? How does the Qin Clan deserve to get half? And you came alone, how come you deserve thirty percent even though I came with five people?"
King Cicada did not bother speaking rubbish as he asked, "Twenty percent, do you want it?"
"I get thirty percent, you gety thirty, the Qin Clan gets fourty. This is my bottom-line!" Kong Mingzi rolled his eyes as he said the distribution plan he had in his heart. In his eyes, he was making a huge compromise.
Qin Wushuang said with a cold sneer, "Daoist Kong Mingzi, it seems you’ve forgotten that currently, your Dark Mysterious Clan does not have much capital for negotiation. If we are to make a move, how much of a chance do you think you have at winning?"
A fierce light flashed across Kong Mingzi’s eyes. He glared at Qin Wushuang and said coldly, "What, do you want to fight? And attract everyone?"
Qin Wushuang said with a leisurely tone, "Who is scared? Anyways my friends already picked up all the goods from here."
As soon as he said these words, the expression on Kong Mingzi’s face changed drastically.
"Twenty percent, either you take it or leave. Do not think how you can threaten us by spreading the news with your big mouth."
Qin Wushuang did not leave any leeway for the Dark Mysterious Clan. In fact, he already showed compromise for this twenty percent. After all, the Dark Mysterious Clan was a totem clan.
"Kong Mingzi, twenty percent of the treasure or returning empty-handed, smart people know how to make the choice," King Cicada said with a chuckle. "Your options are limited."
In fact, Kong Mingzi was feeling incredibly frustrated inwardly. There was no room for him to make a selection at all. He was pushed into this decision and he must accept it.
He said angrily, "Alright, twenty percent! However, you better not play any tricks. All the goods we gain must be public and fair. You must not play any tricks during distribution."
"Ha ha, Kong Mingzi, you are looking down on me. Since I plan to share it with you, there is no need to play any tricks." King Cicada and Qin Wushuang exchanged a glance, both nodded.
Indeed, this Heavenly Supreme Dao cave dwelling was extraordinary. In fact, Bao Bao and the others did not have the guts to explore it. Naturally, Qin Wushuang said those words before as a bluff.
However, Kong Mingzi was rather straightforward and willing inwardly. Since the Qin Clan did not take all the goods by themselves, this was something he wanted to see.
When the entire cave dwelling opened, indeed there were many treasures.
There were four Heavenly Supreme Dao weapons seen right away!
This was definitely an unexpected surprise. Of course, the Qin Clan got two while King Cicada and Kong Mingzi got one piece each. For the other goods, they shared them with a strict distribution plan. Initially, Kong Mingzi was still feeling annoyed inwardly, yet as soon as he got the goods, he was brimming with happiness.
There were three floors in total within this cave dwelling. They finished distributing the first two floors. When they arrived outside the third floor, the three parties carried big hope and had a sense of expectation.
There were Heavenly Supreme Dao weapons on the first two floors, so there must be many more fortuitous opportunities and treasures on this third floor!
When the three parties joined hands, they successfully activated the prohibition on the third floor.
Everyone was dumbstruck that there were no treasures on this third floor. There were only three strangely shaped commanding plates.
These commanding plates had a lengthy shape, like a dagger or key. They dispersed a unique charm.
Qin Wushuang and King Cicada exchanged a glance. Clearly, they did not know what these three commanding plates meant.
However, Kong Mingzi turned around his eyes quickly and rushed to say, "You two, we already said, I get to take one of these three commanding plates."
If they were to distribute them according to the plan, he would not get it. However, since there were only three commanding plates placed on the third floor, their importance was apparent.
Even if they did not know of their use, certainly Kong Mingzi would take one with the intention of not letting go of anything. Besides, with his experience, naturally he knew this object must have its use for being placed here.
Qin Wushuang did not mind. Certainly, this object must be some form of token. Having one would be enough, it would not hurt to give one to Kong Mingzi.
When King Cicada saw that Qin Wushuang did not object, he laughed. "Kong Mingzi, put away your little tricks. You will get your share that you deserve. It’s useless if you fight for something that’s not yours."
Kong Mingzi rolled his eyes. "Daoist King Cicada, today you have more people, I will hold back to your high attitude. Next time, I hope you are not alone."
King Cicada said with an indifferent tone, "Next time... I hope there will be a next time. I just don’t know whether that foreign tribe will give us another chance or not."
With the mention of foreign tribes, a trace of bitterness also flashed across the eyes of Kong Mingzi.
Qin Wushuang said, "Let’s stop with the rubbish, you two, each of us will get one of these commanding plates. Let’s leave immediately after we get them."
Three figures transformed into three meteoric lights and snatched the three commanding plates. After they got them, they plunged towards the outside. In a moment, they arrived outside the cave dwelling.
This time, everyone got what they wanted peacefully. It could be considered a happy ending. Even Kong Mingzi had nothing to complain about.
Qin Wushuang said, "You two, there are many cave dwellings inside this God Discarding Maze. I hope you will continue to get lucky. I also hope all the powerhouses on the Tian Xuan Land will get lucky. Before the foreign tribes, these little conflicts inside the Tian Xuan Land are not worth mentioning. I only hope we will have more trump cards to fight them when the foreign tribes invade."
Kong Mingzi’s heart shuddered. He looked at Qin Wushuang with a much more complicated expression.
After all, a person must not be brainless to reach the position of a paramount totem elite warrior. They would have such insight. Before the foreign tribes, what could these little conflicts and disharmony count as?
Once the foreign tribes invade, if the Tian Xuan Land does not have enough power, they will all die. Any internal strife or conflicts would be meaningless by that time.
He gave an embarrassed cough. Just when Kong Mingzi wanted to say some formal words, suddenly a trace of strange look revealed from King Cicada’s eyes as he pulled out the commanding plate.
"You two, communicate with the commanding plates with your divine soul!" The voice of King Cicada trembled lightly. Clearly, he was in great shock.
Qin Wushuang and Kong Mingzi immediately followed to do so.
In a moment, the color on these two also changed slightly. When they looked at each other, the way they appeared had a strange feeling.
"This... Is this true?" Kong Mingzi asked with some excitement.
At this moment, King Cicada put away any bit of friction from before. He said with a joyful tone, "Since these commanding plates gave us this hint, it’s certainly true. It seems the seniors of the immemorial gods still have a trace of hope for us. Wushuang, what do you think?"
On the contrary, Qin Wushuang was the most calm. When he saw how these two paramount totem elite warriors showed such excitement, some strange emotions surged from his heart.
