Seeing this scene, all those behind who had been hoping to slip through were trembling.
If they wanted to leave this place, they would have to hand over their treasures obediently!
Wuya Zi flew about in every direction, searching for traces of
Even he himself would have to cough up every last treasure he had obtained before!
Or would he simply return empty-handed, having gained nothing at all?
Wuya Zi was utterly frustrated. He refused to accept it!
Just as Wuya Zi launched himself into flight, two figures shot toward him from the opposite direction — Nie Li and Yanyan. Nie Li had already returned to his human form.
Spotting Nie Li, Wuya Zi raised an eyebrow and sidestepped to block Nie Li's path, fixing his gaze on him as he spoke in a low voice: "Nie Li, we meet again!"
Both Yanyan and Nie Li halted. Yanyan looked at Nie Li and transmitted via voice: "Who's this fellow in front of us? Should we kill him?"
Nie Li considered for a moment, then shook his head and transmitted back: "No need to kill him!"
Wuya Zi watched Yanyan warily. He had already witnessed Yanyan's strength. If Yanyan struck, he stood absolutely no chance.
Nie Li smiled faintly. "Brother Wuya Zi, we've both fulfilled our agreement. From here on, we go our separate ways. I hope that next time we meet, we won't be enemies!"
Wuya Zi glanced around, a flicker of doubt in his mind. Why wasn't Xiao Yu with Nie Li? Had he been wrong about Nie Li before? Xiao Yu hadn't been taken by Nie Li after all? Could Xiao Yu have already perished inside the stone formation?
"According to our earlier agreement, we were to split all the treasures we obtained evenly!" Wuya Zi said to Nie Li. "But I haven't received my fair share!"
Nie Li spread his hands with a bitter smile. "Does it even matter that we argue about this now? A Martial Sovereign powerhouse from your demon clan has already taken control of the entire Shadow Divine Palace. Even if I gave you half of everything I obtained, you wouldn't be able to take it out of here!"
"Whether I can take it out or not is none of your concern!" Wuya Zi shot back, raising his brows.
"I'm afraid things won't go the way you'd like. I didn't really obtain any treasures inside the Shadow Divine Palace," Nie Li said coolly. "Even if you search every inch of me, there's nothing I can give you!"
Nie Li had no intention of letting Wuya Zi search him. After all, Wuya Zi had personally witnessed him collecting a great many treasures. If there was nothing in his Space Ring, Wuya Zi would certainly grow suspicious.
"I don't believe a word of your nonsense!" Wuya Zi was seething. All along this journey, he had believed Nie Li was under his control, but only now did he realize that Nie Li had long been prepared — he even had a powerful expert like Yanyan by his side. Wuya Zi could no longer do anything to Nie Li.
Was he really going to let Nie Li walk out of the Shadow Divine Palace with the power of the Demon Blood Sacrifice?
"I can let go of the question of which specific treasures you obtained," Wuya Zi transmitted to Nie Li, glancing at Yanyan as he contemplated how to kill Nie Li before Yanyan could react. "But you will return the power of the Demon Blood Sacrifice to me!"
However, the cold, sharp gaze in Yanyan's eyes made it perfectly clear to Wuya Zi — he had absolutely no opening to make a move.
