Chapter 1143: Disagreement

The Fourth Prince naturally wants to earn more points, but the others are unwilling.

After killing the Qingfeng Wolf, they can obtain Yuan Dan, meat, and pelts as resources, which can be exchanged for Spirit Stones.

But if all of them are subdued by Ye Liuyun, then they will get nothing.

So for the first time, a disagreement arose within the group.

"How about we split up? That way we can earn points faster. When we stay together, the resources we encounter aren't even enough to share!" Ye Liuyun suggested proactively.

He also doesn't want to stay with this crowd any longer, as it affects his own gains.

The Fourth Prince consulted with Zhuge Feiyu and also agreed.

The others had no objections whatsoever. No one wanted to share the resources they obtained with anyone else.

"Ye boss, I'll go with you!" Zhu Youfu immediately ran to Ye Liuyun's side to form a team, and Ye Liuyun naturally didn't drive him away.

"Not bad, having a companion is safer! Let's quickly form groups; if danger arises, we'll have someone to look out for each other," the Fourth Prince suggested.

Upon hearing this, Xuehai's eyes flickered, and he proactively asked Ye Liuyun: "Prince Ye, how about I join your group as well? You seem powerful, and following you should be safe."

The moment he said that, Ye Liuyun, the Fourth Prince, and the others immediately saw through his ulterior motives.

Ye Liuyun bluntly replied, "Sorry, the more people there are, the less convenient it is to act; I can't look after that many."

Xuehai, stung by Ye Liuyun's outright rejection, felt his pride bruised and resolved in his heart to eliminate Ye Liuyun and seize the treasure.

He didn't show it outwardly, merely gave a nervous laugh and said, "Then I'll find others to team up with."

So he casually found someone. Meanwhile, the Fourth Prince naturally teamed up with Zhuge Feiyu, and to safeguard his safety, Heifeng also followed the Fourth Prince.

Heifeng originally thought following the Fourth Prince wasn't worthwhile; the resources they found would have to be split among three, and she'd also have to protect the Fourth Prince's safety.

But the Fourth Prince generously said, "If the two of you follow me, all the resources we find belong to you!"

In this way, she and Zhuge Feiyu actually got the advantage: three people find resources, but only two share them.

After everyone formed their groups, Zhuge Feiyu suggested, "Once we split up, that tail behind us becomes a greater threat! He carries a Token, and the Crown Prince can sense his location. I reckon he'll fix his gaze on the Fourth Prince, eventually drawing the Crown Prince."

"Leave it to me; I'll go eliminate him, you all can go ahead without worry!" Ye Liuyun proactively took on the task.

"Alright, then I'll trouble Brother Ye," the Fourth Prince thanked Ye Liuyun and let everyone disperse.

Ye Liuyun released the amnesiac Earth Sovereign's shadow, sending it to slay that tail.

Quickly, the shadow killed that Martial Cultivator.

Although he was amnesiac, his killing techniques were remembered perfectly.

"Don't go back; stay hidden and follow me, protect me!" Ye Liuyun transmitted the words via Divine Sense, telling him to stay outside.

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun led Zhu Youfu to the corpse's location, gathering his Storage Ring, armor, and other items.

Zhu Youfu curiously shouted, "Boss, did you kill this person? How did you kill him?"

He couldn't see the shadow, so he didn't know how Ye Liuyun had killed him.

Ye Liuyun smiled, "I have a helper hidden in the shadows!"

Zhu Youfu looked around but didn't spot the shadow.

"So someone is protecting us? What realm is he in?" he asked Ye Liuyun.

"Di Zun First Rank. You'd better not rely on him. He's decent at assassinations, but not strong in open combat!" Ye Liuyun warned him, lest Zhu Youfu become careless.

In that Martial Cultivator's Storage Ring, the black Token remained, containing no points.

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment and didn't discard the Token. He used it to sense the Crown Prince's direction, then stored it away.

"Boss, are you planning to use this Token to lure the Crown Prince and his group here?" Zhu Youfu asked.

"Maybe he'll send someone," Ye Liuyun smiled.

He guessed the Crown Prince didn't know who killed that Martial Cultivator, so he certainly wouldn't rashly venture here.

If the Crown Prince came, he certainly wouldn't be a match for his own shadow.

But if he does send someone, that would conveniently earn Ye Liuyun points.

"So we wait for them here?" Zhu Youfu asked.

"Why wait for them? We'll run into them sooner or later. We need to go find resources, otherwise the trip is pointless! Besides, we have to help the Fourth Prince accumulate points!"

Ye Liuyun waved his hand, mounted the Qingfeng Wolf with Zhu Youfu, and headed deeper into the Mi Lin.

Along the way they encountered ferocious beasts; Ye Liuyun released his own Monster Beast to subdue them, then sent them into the Space World.

He also gave Zhu Youfu two Di Zun First Rank beasts—one as a mount, the other for self‑defense.

Zhu Youfu wasn't jealous and happily followed Ye Liuyun to reap the bargains.

He thought positively: if Ye Liuyun is capable, then the able should take on more work.

The two living Di Zun beasts Ye Liuyun gave him were worth far more than hundreds of dead beast carcasses.

Moreover, he was lazy; he didn't need to act himself, and he was content to stay idle.

Ye Liuyun wasn't that idle; his Divine Sense continuously surveyed the environment inside the Secret Realm.

Before long, he discovered a Cave and prepared to investigate it.

To prevent them from getting separated if danger arose, Ye Liuyun placed a Divine Sense mark on Zhu Youfu as a precaution.

"There's a Cave ahead; let's go take a look!" Ye Liuyun told Zhu Youfu.

Zhu Youfu immediately perked up: "Is there treasure?"

Ye Liuyun gave him a withering glance.

"Whether there's treasure is uncertain; we have to go inside to find out!"

"Boss, just trust me! There's definitely something! I have a feeling that following you this time will bring abundant rewards!" Zhu Youfu grinned widely.

Ye Liuyun, too lazy for idle chatter, put the beasts away at the cave entrance and entered the Cave with Zhu Youfu.

"Just stay outside on guard; if anyone comes in, let me know!"

Ye Liuyun instructed the shadow to stay outside on watch.

The shadow had been implanted with a Slave Seal by him; as long as the distance isn't too far, they can communicate with Ye Liuyun at any time.

After entering the Cave, Zhu Youfu stopped before taking a few steps.

"Boss, I feel this Cave is somewhat dangerous. How about we change locations and not go adventuring?" Zhu Youfu suggested.

"Dangerous? Will people die?" Ye Liuyun retorted.

Zhu Youfu quickly shook his head: "That definitely won't happen! But if we even get a little hurt, it's not worth it for a bit of treasure!"
