Chapter 455: Ice-Fire Path

Seeing this situation, Ancestor Extreme Yin's face also changed slightly, but after remaining silent for a while, he said calmly:

"Since Brother Man has doubts, Wu will not hide it. WM Net My disciple is of great use for our treasure-taking in the inner palace this time. If he has offended you, I hope Brother Man will show mercy."

When Ancestor Extreme Yin said this, Han Li felt incomparably depressed.

When had he ever offended this Man Man Huzi? Instead, it was he who had his jade pillar forcibly snatched away by the other party at the grand hall, and he was still full of sullen anger toward this old demon!

Of course, Han Li only dared to think these words in his heart and would absolutely not say them out loud.

"Offended? I don't know this kid at all, what offense is there! I just took a close look and found his cultivation technique a bit interesting, so I tried a move. But what use can a Core Formation stage cultivator have in the inner palace? You aren't lying to deceive me, are you." Man Man Huzi waved his hand and said lazily.

Hearing this, Extreme Yin frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then signaled to the old man in Confucian robes.

Seeing this, Qingyi Qingyi Jushi smiled slightly, his lips moving slightly as he transmitted his voice to Man Man Huzi.

Seeing the two of them acting sneakily, Man Man Huzi initially revealed a look of contempt, but after listening to a few more of the old man's voice transmissions, his expression changed abruptly, and he looked at Han Li with some surprise.

Then, he also asked the old man a few questions through voice transmission, then revealed a look of sudden realization, and his face turned cold.

"Ji Yin, I was wondering why you would inexplicably take on a disciple; so he actually has... Hmph! You certainly have a clever scheme!" Man Man Huzi half-narrowed his eyes, shooting out a gaze like blades as he stared straight at Ancestor Ji Yin and said chillingly.

"Brother Man, why be angry. If you had encountered this matter, I'm afraid you would have used the same means. Moreover, since the two of us have stated this matter now, we don't have the intention of eating alone. This treasure-taking still needs to rely on Brother Man." Ancestor Extreme Yin said very calmly.

"That is indeed the truth. Without me making a move, I'm afraid that group of hypocrites led by Wan Wan Tianming wouldn't even give you the chance to take the treasure. However, I'll say the ugly words first! If we truly obtain the treasure, how do you plan to distribute it." Man Man Huzi thought for a moment, then said with a slightly softened expression.

"How about we divide it into four shares according to the number of people? Including Little Friend Han, each person takes one share." The old man in Confucian robes seemed to have considered this problem long ago, shaking his head and saying immediately.

But as soon as these words were spoken, Man Man Huzi turned against him.

"Qingyi, do you think this person is so easy to fool! Dividing it equally among four people, you really could think of that. When the time comes, you deal with Wan Wan Tianming, anyway, we all take the same amount." Man Man Huzi said, with a look of sarcasm on his face.

"Brother Man, don't be angry. Cough! This point was indeed not considered properly by this Qing. Then how does Brother Man think it should be distributed." Hearing the other party's sarcastic words, the old man didn't get angry, but instead asked with a smile.

"You take how much you want, I won't ask. But I must take half of the treasure. After all, that Wan Wan Tianming alone is enough to make the two of you struggle. I have to deal with this person, so taking half is not too much." Man Man Huzi said with a straight face.

These words from Man Man Huzi didn't make Extreme Yin and the old man reveal a look of surprise. Clearly, the other party's lion's opening of the mouth was within their expectations.

"Half? Brother Man's appetite is truly too big. Don't forget, without my disciple's help, the chance of us successfully taking the treasure is pitifully low. My disciple should take an extra share." Ancestor Extreme Yin said without haste.

"Hmph! A Core Formation stage cultivator is not worthy of sharing the things in the Void Heaven Cauldron with us." Man Man Huzi said without even looking at Han Li.

Han Li's facial muscles twitched upon hearing this, but he immediately returned to his normal expression.

"Hehe! If he were just a loose cultivator, naturally he wouldn't be qualified to share the things in the Void Heaven Cauldron. But, since he has become my Extreme Yin's disciple, naturally he should have his share." Ancestor Extreme Yin didn't back down this time.

Hearing this, Man Man Huzi revealed a fierce look, and just as he wanted to say something else, the old man on the side preemptively suggested a compromise.

"How about this! The two fellow Daoists don't need to argue anymore. Why not divide the treasure into five shares when the time comes, Brother Man takes two shares. The rest of the people take the remaining three shares. This should be considered fair, right!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Man Man Huzi was startled, touched his beard, and remained silent.

Ancestor Extreme Yin immediately expressed his stance.

"This condition, Wu can accept. I don't know what Brother Man thinks?" He looked at Man Man Huzi and said in a deep voice.

"Fine! Although Man is not yet satisfied, it is still better than just now." Man Man Huzi frowned, somewhat unwillingly.

He had already seen that Ancestor Extreme Yin and the old man had formed a joint force. This condition was probably the bottom line for the two of them. In this way, he naturally couldn't be too aggressive.

Just when these demonic old monsters were dividing the treasure they hadn't yet obtained, Wan Wan Tianming and the others, who were in another place, were also secretly discussing the treasure-taking.

"Sect Master Wan, how much certainty do you have in taking out the Void Heaven Cauldron with your Golden Silk Silkworm? The senior experts who wanted to take this treasure before were not few. But no one has ever succeeded. I'm afraid we will also be happy for nothing!" Daoist Tianwuzi asked somewhat worriedly.

"Rest assured! Originally, my Golden Silk Silkworm alone wouldn't have much certainty. But didn't we find the 'Heavenly Green Flower' earlier! As long as I risk the Golden Silk Silkworm when taking the treasure and feed them this item, we will have at least three or four chances of success. This probability is already very high." Wan Wan Tianming said calmly.

"This principle, this Daoist also knows, but thinking of this matter, I still feel uneasy. Ashamed, it seems this Daoist's cultivation is insufficient, and my state of mind needs more tempering." Tianwuzi said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Hehe, treasures like the Void Heaven Cauldron. Even those two old monsters, the Star Palace Twin Sages, would be worried about it. This is human nature. We are just cultivators, not truly immortals without desires." Wan Wan Tianming chuckled.

"However, Sect Master Wan. Look at those demonic sect fellows, what are they whispering about? They seemed to have had some internal strife earlier. But now they are laughing and talking as if nothing happened. These demonic path people wouldn't have any schemes, would they?" The old farmer-like person asked such a question.

Hearing this, Wan Wan Tianming glanced at the demonic path people who had just finished dividing the treasure from afar and let out a cold laugh.

"Although the power of the cultivation techniques practiced by the demonic path people is great, it easily twists the minds of the practitioners, and it is normal for them to have inconsistent performances! There is nothing to be surprised about! However, this time, even if we don't want the Void Heaven Cauldron, we absolutely cannot let it fall into the hands of the demonic path. After all, Ancestor Extreme Yin's exotic Fire Python is also one of the spirit beasts that might take this treasure." Wan Wan Tianming's expression became solemn.

"Sect Master Wan is absolutely right! If the demonic path obtains this item, the demonic flames will naturally rise even higher. And now is precisely the time when the Star Palace fellows' strength is at its weakest. We absolutely cannot let the demonic path replace the Star Palace's position and rule the Chaotic Star Sea." Tianwuzi nodded repeatedly and said.

Wan Wan Tianming was very satisfied. Just as he was about to say something more, red and blue lights flourished in the direction of the giant mountain.

Near the entrance of the canyon, the mountain wall split open into two narrow passages amidst a shaking of the earth and mountains, looking as if they led directly into the interior of the canyon.

Outside the entrances of the two passages, there appeared a stone tablet about three or four feet high, each with ancient characters such as "Profound Crystal Path" and "Lava Road" written on them.

Immediately, some cultivators who were closest rushed over first.

But just as they were outside the Lava Road passage, before they had even entered, a scorching wind that made people dizzy and bloated blew toward their faces, making their mouths dry and tongues parched immediately.

And outside the Profound Crystal Path, white cold air kept emerging from within, and there was a faint sound of fierce wind roaring, making people feel cold just by looking at it.

"Han Li, let's go. We will meet again at the end of the Ice-Fire Path. Which passage do you want to take? Although I cannot personally take you through the pass, giving you one or two treasures for cold and fire protection is something I can do." Ancestor Extreme Yin stood up with a refreshed spirit when he saw these two passages appear, and turned his face to ask Han Li with great concern.

Han Li had already heard about the Ice-Fire Path from Fairy Zhao Ziling when passing through the Ghost Mist.

He knew that as soon as one stepped into the passage, one would immediately be teleported to various preset locations in the grand canyon. The chance of being teleported together with others was very low, which was why the other party said such words.

"Take the Lava Road. I happen to have a Fire-Repelling Garment on me, perhaps it can have some effect!" Han Li thought for a moment and said slowly.

"That's good, take this item. With your cultivation, having this thing should not be a problem to pass the pass." Ancestor Extreme Yin took out a blue jade pendant from his storage pouch without hesitation and handed it to Han Li.

"I truly didn't expect! Extreme Yin, you are such a stingy person, yet you were generous for once. Isn't this your White Rhinoceros Pendant that you treasure so much?" Man Man Huzi saw this scene unintentionally and said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
