On the way back, Nalan Que tried again. “Li Yixiao, I’m telling you. Don’t retreat so that you can advance. Don’t loosen the reins only to grasp them later. Don’t purposely complicate matters… if you ask me now, I may give this ring to you. Only if you promise me that…”

“What is wrong with you ladies?” Li Yixiao said, “We have to pass this to the higher ups. How can we take this for ourselves? Do you not have any awareness? Don’t use your way of thinking to dirty my noble sentiments!”

Li Yixiao did not care about the ring. Incidentally, he could be more strong-willed in front of Nalan Que. There was no reason for him not to be happy!

“Ha ha,” Nalan Que laughed. “Fine, fine. I have dirtied your sentiments. You’d better not regret it!”

After Li Yixiao returned to the villa, he felt extremely uneasy and stayed up until midnight. He told Nalan Que that he was going to the toilet and secretly sneaked out to find Lu Shu. When he reached Lu Shu’s room, he said softly, “How is it, brother? The gains are quite good, right?”

“Not bad,” said Lu Shu calmly. “Even though we have been talking about working together for so long, we have never actually done so. Back then at the Koh Chang Island remains, you bore so much responsibility, yet we did not reap much gains. When we managed the black market, our money was confiscated by Nie Ting. This time, according to our promise, you will take 90% and I will take 10%…”

Li Yixiao was dumbfounded. “Brother, wait. Wasn’t it 10% for me and 90% for you?”

“That’s right, 10% for me and 90% for you,” Lu Shu said naturally.

“Wait. My train of thought is a mess…” Li Yixiao said, “Don’t joke around with me, brother. I only planned to take 10% of the share at first.”

Lu Shu was unhappy. “Am I that kind of person? Taking 90% of the share while you fight? I would never do such a thing.”

Li Yixiao suddenly felt that he had seen this righteousness in himself this afternoon…

But he did not think much about it. Lu Shu was probably different from him. He was even slightly touched. After all, this was his genuine profit. Li Yixiao shook Lu Shu’s hand. “Brother, from now on, we are truly brothers. I, Li Yixiao, accept this favor. I owe you one. Hurry up and show me what we have earned.”

Lu Shu emptied all the essential balms on the bed, forming a small mountain…

Lu Shu wasted no time in showing Li Yixiao the video. He was afraid that Li Yixiao did not understand English, thus he translated for him as the video played…

Li Yixiao looked at the essential balms, then looked at Lu Shu, then looked at the video. He suddenly grabbed his head. “Don’t translate anymore, brother. My head is starting to hurt…”

“From Li Yixiao’s distress, +999!”

“So that was what had happened.” Li Yixiao deliberated for a while. Suddenly, he said, “How about you take 90% of the share and I take 10% of the share. Then you’ll owe me one! How about it?”

Lu Shu said buoyantly, “That won’t do. We have already talked about it. You’ll take 90% and I’ll take 10%. I can’t take advantage of you!”

Li Yixiao was about to explode. Thinking about what he had told Nalan Que that afternoon… he had spoken too soon!

“From Li Yixiao’s distress, +999!”

The competition for the mineral resources was reaching its conclusion. Some dubbed the conflict between the Phoenix Society and the Department of Faith Theory as the starting point for the strange phenomena in the realm of cultivation.

At first, Lu Shu thought that he would follow the group and head to Europe. He did not expect the Heavenly Network to suddenly issue a command. Everyone was to return to China.

This was the command that the others had received. Lu Shu had received a different command. He had to reach a specific place by a certain time to coordinate with a new team.

This was not unexpected. When Li Ganyu and the rest had come here to represent the Heavenly Network in the negotiations with EO, everyone focused on their identities. Although not all the large organizations around the world were present, the focus was still concentrated in Africa.

Everyone was astonished when the Heavenly Network eventually took advantage of the situation. People started to look into their identities.

All of them should have used unofficial identities to interact with and form alliances with other organizations. But this team led by Xia Rensheng had become the center of attention and representative of the Heavenly Network.

Thus, if they were to continue on to Europe, another team had to take over.

The Heavenly Network based their judgment on the current situation. After encountering the Saint, the Department of Faith Theory would most likely set off a massive chain effect in Europe. The situation in Europe had escalated. Sending a team of secret practitioners there would be equivalent to sending them to their deaths. They did not need anyone to target them. They would probably be unable to withstand a stray bullet among the chaos.

This turn of events was unexpected, but reasonable. Even Li Yixiao and Nalan Que had to withdraw even before others had the intention of fighting them. This was to prevent them from being surrounded.

According to the information from the Heavenly Network, three Class B experts had come to Africa the day after Li Yixiao and Nalan Que killed Bennett. No one knew what their objective was. But they came at this exact timing. Furthermore, they were all experts whose ferocity was well-known within the realm of cultivation. As for their objective, Lu Shu had probably guessed 80% of it.

It seemed as if the real hunt had begun in the realm of cultivation.

Li Yixiao led the team. That night, everyone rode the cargo ferry back. Li Yixiao suddenly stood on the deck and waved to someone far away in the dark. Some people looked in the direction he was waving in, but they could not see anything.

Suddenly, someone asked, “Wait. Where is Li Teng?! Wasn’t he with us just now?”

Lu Shu had accompanied the team up until they entered the harbor. He took the chance while no one was paying attention to sneak off. No matter how much Li Ganyu and the rest tried to look for Lu Shu, they could not find him. Suddenly, they realized that Li Teng was very mysterious. He had adopted a nonchalant attitude throughout the entire mission. Thinking about it, they had many suspicions.

Zhong Yutang had met Xia Rensheng before. Thus, when Xia Rensheng saw Li Yixiao waving, he suddenly understood that there may have been an expert in his team that he did not recognize. This expert’s level was so high that even he did not have the right to know about him.

Lu Shu stood in the dark and watched the cargo ship sail away. He turned back and walked into the wilderness. Ever since the dawn of the magically-rich era, hunting down Heavenly Kings seemed to be the target of experts who were used to the smell of blood. It had become a form of honor. But no one had done it before.

But for some reason, when Lu Shu saw this piece of information, he became angry.

At the same time, Nie Ting was in the Liuhai Lane Courtyard House. He calmly passed a coded message to Zhao Yongchen, who was in Africa. “Have you told Lu Shu everything that I asked you to say?”
