Chapter 91: Dividing the Treasure

At the Valley of Utmost Yin.

Due to the earth's yin energy being completely devoured by Shi Yan using the Profound Yin Technique, the Valley of Utmost Yin, which should have been the place with the heaviest yin energy, no longer had a trace of yin energy.

Sunlight shone down from the sky, illuminating the valley of the Valley of Utmost Yin.

The massive body of the Nine-Headed Heavenly Snake lay in the center of the Valley of Utmost Yin, covered in blood.

Under the encirclement of Chixiao, Zha Qi, and Xia Xinyan, the Nine-Headed Heavenly Snake, unable to use the earth's yin energy and exposed to sunlight, was finally slain.

In the valley, besides Chixiao, Zha Qi, and Xia Xinyan, several others appeared suddenly.

When Shi Yan and his group arrived from outside the valley, they only glanced at the scene inside the valley, and Shi Yan's face immediately turned dark.

Beiming Shang and his grandson Beiming Ce were standing in the valley.

Yin Kui and Jiushan were naturally by Beiming Ce's side, while Mu Yudie and Di Yalan were excitedly looking at the Nine-Headed Heavenly Snake lying in a pool of blood.

In addition to the experts from the Beiming family, Zou Ziguo and a strange young man also appeared in the valley.

Everyone's gaze fell on the Nine-Headed Heavenly Snake in the center of the valley.

Chixiao and Zha Qi were drenched in sweat and slightly weakened.

Xia Xinyan's face was pale; she had already taken a Heaven-Filling Pill, but her body could not quickly recover to its peak state.

The three of them had exerted all their strength, consuming a lot of essence and energy, and with the help of the time and place, they had finally slain the Nine-Headed Heavenly Snake. However, they suddenly discovered that Beiming Shang and a Heaven Rank expert had quietly appeared in the valley.

Their frustration was evident.

Shi Yan entered the valley, standing beside Han Feng and Kulong, coldly watching the excited Mu Yudie and Di Yalan.

"Everyone who is here gets a share. The Nine-Headed Heavenly Snake has nine demon crystals. How should we divide them?" Beiming Shang frowned and said calmly, "I know you three worked hard, so I don't have high demands. I only want two of the Nine-Headed Heavenly Snake's demon crystals: one with fire attributes and one condensed from yin energy."

"Why should you get a share?" Zha Qi's face was fierce, and he snarled, "The demon crystals of the Nine-Headed Heavenly Snake belong to us! We worked hard to kill it, and you want a share without doing anything? Why should you?"

"Why should I?" Beiming Shang smiled coldly, "Just because we are here!"

"I want two." The Lord of Dark Netherworld said calmly, pointing to the snake head that could spew yin energy, "The demon crystal in that snake head, yes, it's mine. The rest are yours."

"Hehe!" Zha Qi suddenly sneered, "Wanting the demon crystals also depends on whether you have the ability!"

"Whether you have the ability, you should know better than I do." The Lord of Dark Netherworld looked at Zha Qi and said calmly, "We fought at the edge of the Dead Silence Swamp, and you killed several of my subordinates. However, that was at the edge of the Dead Silence Swamp, where the swamp and the poisonous fog provided you with cover. Here, you have no such barriers. Why should you fight me?"

"Brother Zou." Beiming Shang looked at the Lord of Dark Netherworld and smiled slightly, "There seem to be three people who have reached the Heaven Rank, but the real situation is not like that."

"Oh?"

"Miss Xia's martial soul is extremely powerful, but her true realm is only the Third Heaven of a Hundred Tribulations." Beiming Shang pointed at Xia Xinyan and said, "After using her martial soul, she cannot recover quickly. If we really fight, we have nothing to fear."

Upon hearing this, Xia Xinyan's expression suddenly turned cold.

Zha Qi was stunned, his face changed, and he couldn't help but look at Xia Xinyan, asking, "Is that true?"

From his perspective, although he and Chixiao had consumed a lot of energy, if they added Xia Xinyan, a Heaven Rank expert, they could still force the other side to give up the demon crystals.

However, the premise was that Xia Xinyan could maintain her Heaven Rank strength. If she was only at the Third Heaven of a Hundred Tribulations, they would not only not have the upper hand but would also be at a disadvantage.

Under Zha Qi's gaze, Xia Xinyan helplessly nodded.

"Beiming Shang, why did you come here?" Chixiao was more concerned about other matters, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly asked.

"What do you think?" Beiming Shang smiled and asked.

"I understand." Chixiao sighed and nodded, "You are also here for the Heavenly Gate. I never thought you would get the news. It seems you have never relaxed your efforts regarding the treasure map."

"My Beiming family has more eyes and ears in Tianyuan City than you can imagine. As long as I have the intention, no wind or grass in Tianyuan City can escape my control!" Beiming Shang slowly walked over to one of the Nine-Headed Heavenly Snake's heads and said calmly, "Let's divide the demon crystals first, and then we can talk about the Heavenly Gate."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Beiming Shang fearlessly went to one of the snake heads and took out a demon crystal, saying calmly, "I still need one more."

The Lord of Dark Netherworld stood still and casually ordered, "Muhui, take the demon crystal."

The strange young man nodded with a smile and walked toward two of the snake heads, not even looking at Chixiao, as if he knew Chixiao and the others wouldn't dare to make a move.

Zha Qi's face turned red with obvious anger, but he stood there, gritting his teeth, "I'll remember you two!"

Beiming Shang and the Lord of Dark Netherworld ignored him.

"Zha Qi, dig out the remaining five demon crystals." Chixiao sighed helplessly.

Zha Qi's face was fierce, and he also went to the corpse of the Nine-Headed Heavenly Snake.

While taking the demon crystals from the large snake heads, he seemed to want to vent his anger. The snake heads were torn apart with blood and flesh flying everywhere, and his actions were extremely brutal and bloody.

Shi Yan watched all of this coldly.

Chixiao and Zou Ziguo clearly had a premeditated plan, waiting for the best opportunity.

When Chixiao and the others finally killed the Nine-Headed Heavenly Snake, Beiming Shang suddenly appeared, taking advantage of Xia Xinyan's use of her Reincarnation Martial Soul to gain the upper hand and forcibly demand a share of the spoils.

Beiming Shang's actions were extremely cunning and vicious.

He did not contribute any effort, maintaining his peak strength, while letting Chixiao and the others fight to the death. In the end, he still forcibly obtained a share of the spoils.

Once the Heavenly Gate opened, he would enter with his peak strength, giving him a higher chance of obtaining the benefits inside the Heavenly Gate compared to Chixiao and the others.

Shi Yan took a deep breath, calming himself down. During the division of the spoils by these experts, he remained silent, observing quietly and waiting to see how things would develop.

Before long, the division of the spoils was complete.

The nine demon crystals: the Beiming family received one with fire attributes and one condensed from yin energy, while Zou Ziguo received two condensed from yin energy.

The remaining five demon crystals: Zha Qi took two with poison attributes, Chixiao took one with poison attributes and one with fire attributes, and Xia Xinyan took one with fire attributes.

The nine demon crystals were completely divided among the experts in the valley.

Next, the materials from the Nine-Headed Heavenly Snake, such as its venomous fangs, scales, and saliva, were not overlooked.

With several Heaven Rank experts present, the rare materials like the venomous fangs were quickly collected and divided.

This time, the Shi family's side also received five venomous fangs, a piece of snake skin from the back of the Nine-Headed Heavenly Snake, and three bottles of venom.

"This fire attribute demon crystal will greatly benefit your martial soul." On the other side, Beiming Shang casually threw a demon crystal from the Nine-Headed Heavenly Snake, which slowly flew out and gently landed in front of Di Yalan.

Di Yalan looked at Beiming Shang with a mix of surprise and uncertainty, and she said excitedly, "Beiming... Lord Beiming, you mean... you mean to give me this demon crystal?"

The fire attribute demon crystal was very useful for Beiming Shang's Blue Demon Flame martial soul. This demon crystal came from a seventh-level demon beast, the Nine-Headed Heavenly Snake, and for her, it was an extremely precious treasure.

Beiming Shang smiled and nodded, "Keep it. Use this demon crystal to train well. Since you have come to my Beiming family, I will not treat you unfairly."

Di Yalan seemed to feel that the demon crystal was too precious and was somewhat hesitant. Seeing the demon crystal floating in front of her, she didn't have the heart to reach out and take it.

"Big Sister Lan, take it, keep it well." At this moment, Mu Yudie reached out and grabbed the demon crystal, forcefully giving it to Di Yalan.

"Thank you, Lord Beiming." Feeling the intense fire energy from the fire attribute demon crystal, Di Yalan no longer hesitated and quickly thanked Beiming Shang, unwilling to let go of the demon crystal.

"From now on, we are one family, no need to be so formal." Beiming Shang said calmly.

A hint of panic flashed across Di Yalan's face. She seemed to have heard the hidden meaning in Beiming Shang's words but pretended not to notice, ultimately not giving up the seventh-level demon crystal.

—She couldn't resist the temptation of the demon crystal.

Shi Yan watched everything with a dark face, remaining silent.
