Chapter 843
The seventh floor of the Twilight Palace.
Su Xiao, Xiang Yanchen, the Imposter Clown, Black Blood, and the OL Beauty gathered together. With these people gathered together, the scene could be imagined.
Su Xiao was maintaining the Checking Zhan Long Shan, with various blade maintenance tools laid out in front of him.
Xiang Yanchen was holding a piece of raw meat, teasing the Flame Tiger. The ferocious Flame Tiger was like a big cat in front of Xiang Yanchen.
The Imposter Clown held a hollowed-out dagger in one hand and a small mirror in the other. He seemed dissatisfied with his current look, occasionally cutting the gash on his face a bit longer, with fresh blood dripping down along the dagger.
Black Blood held his breath, his face flushed red, looking like he was suffocating at any moment.
The OL Beauty sat to one side, super nervous. She felt like a husky mixed into a pack of wolves, likely to be exposed at any moment. Her eyes seemed to be screaming: "Someone save me, I'm about to be exposed."
Not to mention the psychological shadow area of the OL Beauty among a group of lunatics, the group was about to start splitting the spoils.
"How to handle the others? These obtained a total of 1089 merit points. After removing our share, the amount split among them is very little."
Su Xiao spoke, the Checking Zhan Long Shan already maintained to look as bright as new.
"I will handle this part."
Xiang Yanchen spoke, ambitious. The reason he was said to be ambitious was that he prepared to use this matter to win over hearts. There was another layer of meaning: he could take a smaller share, but Su Xiao could not stop him from doing a certain thing.
The situation now was very clear; the more than one hundred lunatics remaining in the Twilight Palace would clearly no longer be accepted by their respective adventure teams. Xiang Yanchen had his eyes on these people.
"Oh? Then you are also responsible for the shares of those three?"
Su Xiao looked at the Imposter Clown, Black Blood, and the OL Beauty.
"Of course. To get something, one must pay something. This is my initial investment in the new adventure team. I will bear the shares they receive."
Xiang Yanchen cast an inquiring look at the Imposter Clown and Black Blood; he was recruiting the two.
"I have no problem here, but Xiang Yanchen, if following you makes me feel bored, I will leave at any time."
The Imposter Clown did not mind changing to another adventure team; his original adventure team had already been wiped out.
"As for me..."
Black Blood yawned.
"I refuse."
Black Blood rejected Xiang Yanchen's recruitment.
"Reason."
Xiang Yanchen's expression remained normal.
"No reason."
Black Blood shrugged, acting like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, looking at Xiang Yanchen as if provoking him.
"You brat, believe it or not, I'll throw you into the pit below right now."
Xiang Yanchen patted Black Blood's shoulder very "gently."
"Really? I've always wanted to jump down, but I just feel like jumping down really would mean death, so I'm still hesitating."
As soon as Black Blood finished speaking, the Flame Tiger beside Xiang Yanchen pounced forward, biting Black Blood's throat.
"Hahahaha."
Black Blood suddenly laughed loudly, not caring at all about having his throat bitten by the Flame Tiger.
"I suddenly changed my mind; joining your side seems not bad."
"Let him go."
Xiang Yanchen had long since anticipated such a scene. Most people did not know what Black Blood was thinking, but Xiang Yanchen knew that this youth enjoyed the feeling between life and death.
"The two of you, I will not force you to do anything, or rather, you don't need to call me 'boss' or anything like that. The adventure team model with a strict hierarchy has already been verified by Xi with his life. Before the leader dies, this kind of organization is very strong, but once the leader dies, this kind of organization becomes a pile of loose sand.
I have a very good idea. The future Ming Sect will not be my, Xiang Yanchen's, one-man show. The position of leader will be held by those capable. Whoever is unconvinced by me can come to challenge me at any time; I, Xiang Yanchen, welcome it. However, if anyone dares to play tricks behind my back, I will slaughter them immediately—not kick them out of the adventure team, but slaughter them directly."
Having said that, Xiang Yanchen looked at the Imposter Clown, then looked at Black Blood, his gaze meaningful. Both were unruly people. To unify these people into one adventure team, the traditional model clearly wouldn't work. Moreover, Xiang Yanchen also planned to pull all those hundred-plus lunatics into the adventure team.
"Interesting. If that's the case, then I must join."
The Imposter Clown laughed loudly, slapping his thigh while laughing.
"The intention to join is even stronger. I'll observe in your adventure team for a while."
Black Blood put away the laziness on his face.
"That's good. The original Ming Sect is officially disbanded. The new Ming Sect is established today. First, we need to select a leader. I recommend myself."
The Magic Spear appeared in Xiang Yanchen's hand. It could be seen that he was very excited now. This sense of excitement had never appeared when he originally formed Ming Sect.
"What a coincidence, I also recommend myself."
The dagger in the Imposter Clown's hand flipped.
"Too coincidental, I also recommend myself."
Bombs appeared on Black Blood's body.
The three confronted each other. The new Ming Sect would respect the strong and push the law of the jungle to the extreme.
"That... I... this, recommend, Boss Xiang Yanchen."
The OL Beauty raised her hand weakly.
"Hmm, not bad."
Xiang Yanchen patted the OL Beauty's shoulder.
"Why not recommend me."
The Imposter Clown's eyes were blood-red, staring straight at the OL Beauty.
"Cl... Clown-san, we are not familiar, regarding who to recommend..."
The OL Beauty was very panicked. The Imposter Clown and Black Blood were clearly not to be trifled with—one had bizarre abilities, the other was unafraid of death. As a normal person, the OL Beauty was very afraid of these two.
"Stop talking nonsense. Let's just have a fight. Whoever wins is the team leader."
The motive of this guy Xiang Yanchen was clearly impure. In terms of force, he was definitely one of the best. As for why he didn't recruit Su Xiao, Xiang Yanchen never had such a thought from beginning to end; Su Xiao was too dangerous.
Facing the three who were about to start fighting, Su Xiao still had something to do.
"Xiang Yanchen, I don't want to get involved in your adventure team's internal affairs, but before that, let's solve the problem of splitting the spoils. We have already formed an alliance; I don't have the habit of eating alone."
"Fine. Then a 3-7 split. After all, we have more people here."
Xiang Yanchen opened his mouth like a lion, but as a negotiation, opening like a lion was very normal.
"4-6."
Su Xiao's meaning was that he gets 6, Xiang Yanchen gets 4. It's a negotiation; one always has to keep some bargaining chips.
"I'm in a bit of a hurry. I get 6, you get 4. This is the maximum limit I can accept."
"5-5, because in dealing with Xi, I paid some extra costs outside the plan."
Su Xiao's words made Xiang Yanchen hesitate. The fact was exactly as stated; Xi was killed by Su Xiao, which allowed Su Xiao to take the lion's share in the split. Plus, Su Xiao was the party providing high-power explosives. Moreover, Xiang Yanchen had another purpose: to use this opportunity to form a new adventure team, and he was very worried that Su Xiao would interfere.
"5-5... fine. Sign a temporary contract. In the following four days, our two sides will mind our own business."
"No problem."
Su Xiao traded 544 merit points to Xiang Yanchen, and at the same time, the two sides signed a non-interference treaty.
It seemed that Xiang Yanchen lost a lot by splitting 5-5 with Su Xiao; after all, Xiang Yanchen's 50% still had to be split among the Imposter Clown, Black Blood, the OL Beauty, and those hundred-plus crazy Qiyuezhe.
Is that really the case? Not at all. Xiang Yanchen would rather lose now than fail to find a way to form an adventure team. These people in the Twilight Palace had decent combat power, and more importantly, they were not afraid of death. If asked to do something immoral, these people would do it without hesitation.
There were many benefits, and not a few drawbacks—for example, these people's mental states were not normal, and most were unruly. However, was Xiang Yanchen's mental state normal? Clearly not.
A crazy leader + crazy members—the future Ming Sect would definitely be a chilling existence.
