Only the middle-level factions represented by the three tower masters of the Stargate Tower found it difficult to accept, because their goal was not only the willow tree cores but also the spiritual spring.

Other than the fact that the three tower masters did not have someone at a higher level to support them, their true combat strength was not inferior to the three inner court heads of the Myriad Phenomena Sect. If they relied on their own abilities, even if they gave the Myriad Phenomena Sect face, they would still be able to gain something if they obtained less than the other party.

On the other hand, if they split it according to their strength, the portion of the spiritual spring that they originally had a chance of obtaining would be completely snatched away. They would not even be able to get a single drop of it.

As for the Snake God Sect, although their combat strength was among the strongest among the people present, as a foreign faction, they knew their own limits. Even Zhou Xuesheng had never considered their opinions.

Soon after, “The Jiyang Sect has no objections.”

Su Xuyang and the two court heads beside him agreed after some discussion.

With the Jiyang Sect taking the lead, the remaining factions at the same level as the Myriad Phenomena Sect quickly voiced their agreement.

Immediately after, “We have no objections either. Everything will be distributed according to Zhou Xuesheng’s arrangement.”

After the strongest factions expressed their stance, the factions with the lowest combat strength expressed their stance almost immediately.

Zhou Xuesheng’s suggestion was supported by most of the factions present. Only the factions in the middle had yet to express their stance.

The valley was quiet, and the willow trees could not understand what the humans were discussing.

Countless glowing willow branches fluttered in the wind, ready to fend off the humans’ attacks at any moment.

The three tower masters of the Stargate Tower had ugly expressions on their faces. They looked at the other factions of the same level as them, hoping that someone would stand up and object.

The other factions in the middle also looked at each other and understood that they were all against it.

However, after a minute or two, no one was willing to take the lead and represent the middle-level factions to oppose Zhou Xuesheng’s suggestion.

This was the result of the difference in their overall strength. The middle-level factions, with the three tower masters at the top, were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered in the face of Zhou Xuesheng’s plan.

Knowing that it was difficult to carry out their objections, all the middle-level factions would become disunited. Even if they were unwilling, they could only accept the fact that their share of the spiritual spring would be snatched away.

The three tower masters of the Stargate Tower sighed at the same time, as if everything was already settled.

“I want a share too.”

Chen Yiming watched as everyone was about to reach an agreement to divide the resources in the valley peacefully.

As Zhou Xuesheng was his master in the Myriad Phenomena Sect, he naturally had no intention of snatching anything from him. Therefore, he could only quickly reveal himself and take what was rightfully his.

The Thunder God Mercenary Group was active in the space-travel passage in the Nangui province.

The overall strength of the Nangui province was inferior to that of the Jiangnan province. The Thunder God Mercenary Group had always had the intention of heading to a more developed province in the Daxia Kingdom to develop themselves. Now was an opportunity to befriend the Myriad Phenomena Sect.

In addition, there were several provinces between Nangui province and Jiangnan province, and there were many people who were hidden behind masks on the island. Therefore, they did not realize that the masked man was the fierce man who had killed four heads of the Kunshan Sect in Jiangnan province.

The strongest of the four commanders in the mercenary group, Wang Shelong, was like a humanoid dinosaur with a full body of lightning armor when he was stirred up. His favorite thing to do was to tear apart dire beasts with his bare hands.

He was more than three meters tall, and his upper body was naked, revealing his strong, tanned muscles. These muscles had been tempered by the power of lightning for many years, and one could feel the violent power contained within from just a glance.

At this moment, Wang Shelong walked towards the masked man step by step. Every step he took caused the ground to tremble, and it was as if the entire valley shook.

“Where did this fool come from? This is not a place for a lone wolf like you.”

His eyes were fixed on the figure of the masked man. When he was at a suitable distance, he would launch a thunder attack, hoping to leave a good impression on the Myriad Phenomena Sect’s Zhou Xuesheng.

The masked man’s response was one of disdain.

Chen Yiming had no interest in dealing with such a small fry. If he didn’t know what was good for him, he could just teach him a lesson.

He just stood there quietly, waiting for someone to answer his question. He did not deliberately turn his gaze to Zhou Xuesheng, in case the other party saw through his disguise.

Wang Shelong’s expression darkened at Chen Yiming’s disdain. At this moment, his back was facing Zhou Xuesheng, so he didn’t see him lose his composure. Instead of waiting till he reached the optimal attack range, he charged straight at the masked man.

At the same time, a set of lightning armor formed on Wang Shelong’s body. Under the cloak of the lightning armor, his height increased from more than three meters to four meters.

The average height of an ordinary house was three meters. It would not be an exaggeration to call one a giant if one was four meters tall. Coupled with the layer of lightning armor, it was as though the legendary God of Thunder had descended from the heavens.

“Which remote village did this kid come from? He’s courting death!”

With a loud roar, a fist the size of a sandbag swung out.

The surface of his fist was covered with a glove. This was the transformation of Wang Shelong’s lightning internal force. The violent power of lightning could greatly increase the lethality of his fist.

Chen Yiming clenched his right hand.

A 20-meter-long sword shadow appeared in the air. There was no need to use a 100-meter-long sword to deal with such a small fry. In terms of head-on combat, he had never encountered an opponent of the same level.

“Boom!”

A loud explosion rang out.

Chen Yiming swung his 20-meter-long sword, which instantly crossed the distance of 20 meters between them and collided with Wang Shelong’s fist.

“How dare you compare your body with mine? Die!”

The moment before the collision, Wang Shelong roared loudly. The power of lightning in his body suddenly got a little brighter. Other than his hidden trump card, he could also maximize the destructive power of his fist.

This was a head-on clash of strength, the most direct form of battle between men.

However, the outcome did not go as most of the people present thought it would. Other than the Myriad Phenomena Sect, the Jiyang Sect, and a few other factions, they had not recognized the masked man.

The light from the huge brown sword that was as hard as a rock broke through the armor formed by lightning and struck Wang Shelong in the chest.

“Bang!”

Wang Shelong spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot. He felt that his sternum had cracked and had stabbed into his muscles. His eyes widened to the size of bells, and his head was buzzing. He could not accept the outcome of being crushed by his opponent.

“Be careful!”

A few cries of surprise rang out from the factions at the edge of the valley. Wang Shelong’s figure was flying back at an even faster speed, and he was headed straight into the valley.

However, because it was too unexpected, even the remaining three commanders of the Thunder God Mercenary Group did not react in time and could not stop him.

“Huh!” Chen Yiming muttered in a low voice.

Earlier, he had only wanted to teach his opponent a small lesson, so he did not use much strength. He had only severely injured his opponent.

It was not his intention to send him flying into the valley.

In the valley,

“Crash…”

Facing Wang Shelong, who had accidentally barged into the valley, the entire forest of willow trees were in an uproar. Countless willow branches pointed up like spears, ready to stab at the figure in midair at any moment.

Many people at the edge of the valley closed their eyes, unable to bear the sight of the tragedy that was about to unfold.

Immediately after,

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

The spear-like willow tree branches were like 10, 000 arrows fired at the same time, piercing through Wang Shelong’s lightning armor and producing a metallic sound.

In a short period of time, the spears formed by the willow tree branches could only leave small cracks on the lightning armor. They couldn’t break it like Chen Yiming.

Because the impact from the spear was not in the direction of his fall, Wang Shelong’s figure only had a slight change in direction, and he continued to fly back into the valley.

This was equivalent to Wang Shelong entering the forest of willow trees, which were equivalent to the second stage of the warrior realm, by himself.

Even if the lightning armor could withstand the attacks for a while, it was impossible for it to not break after the continuous attacks from the spear-like willow tree branches.
