Chapter 68: The Three Parties

The three stone boxes looked incredibly ancient, with the aura of time slowly emanating from them, making people's eyes redden and their hearts race.

"These three boxes should contain the legacy of the Xuan You Sect!" Du Fei licked his lips, his heart burning with excitement. "Cultivation techniques, martial arts..."

These things were all necessary for him to become stronger! And given the great reputation of the Xuan You Sect, the items they left behind would certainly not be ordinary.

Taking a deep breath, Du Fei exhaled and then gently flicked his right sleeve, which immediately adhered to the lid of the middle stone box. He then gently tossed it open.

However, unlike what Du Fei had expected, there were no hidden mechanisms or traps inside the stone box.

Instead, a faint dust cloud emerged, causing Du Fei's vision to blur momentarily.

After a moment, the dust dissipated completely, and a scroll with a faint purple luster fell onto Du Fei's body.

"Dan Xi Pian."

The three gilded characters on the scroll made Du Fei's mind tighten slightly. However, he did not examine the so-called "Dan Xi Pian" in detail but quickly tucked it into his storage ring. After scanning the stone box for a moment and finding nothing else, his gaze fell on the second stone box.

Just as before, Du Fei carefully mobilized his true qi, ready to open the stone box. However, at that moment, his body suddenly stiffened, and he quickly raised his head, his face turning extremely grim as his gaze fell on the entrance of the pavilion.

He saw that the milky white light barrier at the entrance had disappeared, and now, including Bai Yi, Zhu Le, and more than ten others, they were already standing outside the entrance of the pavilion, their gazes scanning the stone boxes on the table, their eyes burning with intense desire.

"What's going on? The light barrier suddenly disappeared? Could it be because..."

At this thought, Du Fei felt a sudden regret. It was likely because he destroyed the map, so the light barrier outside also disappeared!

However, since the situation had already occurred, regretting it was meaningless. Du Fei took a deep breath and his gaze slowly fell on the entrance.

No matter what, he didn't believe these people would cooperate wholeheartedly. As long as everyone wanted the legacy of the Xuan You Sect, he still had plenty of opportunities!

Thinking of this, Du Fei's hand, which was about to lift the lid of the stone box, slowly stopped. Instead, he casually closed the middle stone box and cast a strange gaze around.

"Hehehe... Young Master Du Fei, although I don't know what you did, I must thank you for removing the barrier outside! Otherwise, we wouldn't have had the chance to see what the Xuan You Sect's forbidden area looks like!"

Zhu Le, standing at the front, lightly clapped his hands, his eyes scanning Du Fei with a smile that was not quite a smile, then spoke calmly.

Hearing this, Du Fei slowly shook his head and laughed bitterly. Then, ignoring Zhu Le, his gaze slowly fell on Bai Yi, and he smiled lightly, saying, "It seems Young Master Bai is also cooperating with Zhu Le... Young Master Bai, how about we cooperate? I'll let you choose two of these three boxes, and in return, you help me kill Zhu Le!"

Hearing this, Bai Yi's expression changed slightly.

Zhu Le, standing to the side, twitched the corner of his eye and then sneered, "Young Master Bai, Du Fei is extremely cunning. The stone boxes might be empty... We can't let him go like this!"

"Hehe, I understand that!" Bai Yi smiled faintly and said after a moment, "However, Du Fei is now an important figure in the Du family! If we want to act, we need to be decisive!"

"Young Master Bai, you are indeed a wise man!" Zhu Le smiled slightly, his gaze falling on Du Fei, his eyes filled with killing intent.

Seeing this, Du Fei's lips also twitched slightly. He didn't believe that his few words would make Bai Yi and Zhu Le turn against each other.

After all, he didn't have much of a relationship with these two. Fortunately, Ba Han didn't intervene, or he would have been dead for sure this time!

His gaze swept over Bai Yi and Zhu Le, and Du Fei couldn't help but laugh lightly, saying coldly, "Nearly ten Ninth Rank Martial Masters, it seems you two are giving me a lot of respect... To be honest, I don't have much confidence in opposing you two!"

"Hehe, Young Master Du Fei is indeed a wise man!" Bai Yi laughed heartily, "Since that's the case, why don't you hand over the items, and we'll leave you a complete body, how about that?"

"Complete body?" Du Fei smiled, "I, Du Fei, am not ready to die yet, so I'll pass on that deal... How about we each take a step back? We can divide these three boxes among the three of us, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Bai Yi and Zhu Le exchanged a glance, both seeming quite tempted. However, they were both smart, and after a moment, Zhu Le sneered and said sternly, "Young Master Du Fei, you are indeed cunning. Our families can't compare to the Du family. If you escape, even if we get the items, we won't have the chance to cultivate them!"

"Hehe, so there's no chance for cooperation?" Du Fei's lips curled into a cold smile, and his entire body was instantly filled with true qi. His palms slowly pressed onto the two stone boxes on either side. "Since that's the case, I'll destroy everything inside these boxes... I'd rather break them than let them fall into the wrong hands! What do you think?"

Seeing Du Fei's actions, Bai Yi and Zhu Le's faces changed dramatically. They were both smart and could tell from Du Fei's tone that he was serious about destroying the items!

If these items were destroyed, even if they killed Du Fei, it would be meaningless!

Moreover, with Du Fei's skills, if he truly wanted to destroy the items, even if they both acted, they couldn't stop him.

"I don't believe you really want to!" Zhu Le said coldly after a moment.

"Whether I die or not, the items will still benefit you two. Do you think I would be willing to let them go?" Du Fei sneered.

"Ha ha ha! Young Master Du Fei, if you destroy the items you worked so hard to get, wouldn't that be a waste! How about we make a deal?"

At this moment, a burst of laughter was heard, followed by a loud "boom." A section of the pavilion's wall was smashed open, and Ba Han, with a light smile, stood in the opening.

His appearance made Bai Yi and Zhu Le's faces change instantly.

They had blocked all of Du Fei's escape routes, believing that he wouldn't dare to destroy the pavilion or make any moves, as they could take his life the moment he showed a weakness.

But they didn't expect that the usually indifferent Ba Han would suddenly appear!

Seeing the sudden change in the situation, Du Fei also laughed lightly. He had a good impression of Ba Han and didn't hesitate, smiling faintly and saying, "I can give you one of the items in the three boxes! Help me kill them two!"

"No, no!" Ba Han shook his head slightly, "They both have a group of people. Helping you escape, I can do, but helping you kill them, I don't have that ability!"

Hearing this, Du Fei smiled faintly and suddenly whispered, "In that case, the deal is done!"

With that, he suddenly swung his hands. The stone box on the right was sent flying towards Ba Han, and with his left hand, he grabbed the box on the left. As he leaped up, he kicked the middle box, sending it flying towards Zhu Le and Bai Yi.

"Like this! Each of the three families gets one box! If anyone wants more, come find me!"

Laughing heartily, Du Fei didn't head towards Ba Han but instead slammed his back into the wall behind him, breaking through it and instantly dashing out.

Ba Han also quickly caught the box, sneered, and retreated without hesitation.

Zhu Le and Bai Yi, seeing Du Fei's sudden movement, both rushed forward. But when they saw Du Fei kick the box towards them, they both froze, and almost simultaneously, they lunged for the box in front of them!

"Bang..."

The box exploded under the pressure of their true qi, and the empty interior was instantly revealed to them.

Seeing this, a surge of rage instantly filled their hearts!

"Du Fei! How dare you trick me!"

"Hehe, I tricked you! Unfortunately, part of the items went to Ba Han! But it's better than letting those two scoundrels get them!" Du Fei laughed coldly as he leaped onto the stone platform, hearing the angry shouts from the pavilion. He lightly touched the ground, preparing to leave.

However, at that moment, Du Fei suddenly felt an intense sense of danger. He didn't have time to react, and his body instinctively retreated backward.

"Swish..."

His toes brushed the ground, and he retreated several dozen meters before stopping. Behind him, a similar sound was heard.

Du Fei quickly turned around and saw Ba Han, who was holding a stone box, also retreating with a look of shock. Their gazes met in the air, and they both laughed bitterly.

They didn't expect that just as one wave had subsided, another had risen. The legacy of the Xuan You Sect was indeed a hot potato!
