However, just as their hands touched the treasures, several streams of flowing light arrived simultaneously from different directions.

A team from the Beimo Divine Hall, another team from the Nine-Star Divine Hall, and several figures from the Moon Embracing Divine Hall.

The three teams landed in different areas around the divine stele, each occupying a side.

”People from the Qiuqing Divine Hall?”

The leader of the Moon Embracing Divine Hall glanced at Bai Qing and the others, speaking casually: ”This divine stele will be divided among us three. You can take that piece of source crystal fragment over there.”

He pointed to a fist-sized fragment at the edge of the stele, the least valuable thing on the entire divine stele.

Bai Qing’s face darkened slightly, ”We discovered this divine stele first.”

”So what?”

”Resource allocation is based on strength,” the man said flatly. ”Qiuqing Divine Hall doesn’t even have Star Talent, offering you a fragment is out of consideration for being part of the Caikun Civilization.”

Zhao Tianji clenched his fist tightly, but Han Xiang held his shoulder.

Han Xiang shook his head silently.

Bai Qing remained silent for several seconds before taking the source crystal fragment without a word.

The three teams cleared the treasures on the stele and then departed.

Qingyao stood in place, looking extremely displeased.

Zhao Tianji turned around and punched the air fiercely, creating a crack in the void.

At this moment, a streak of purple light flashed by in the distance.

It was a team from the Beimo Divine Hall, led by Chen Yuan.

”Ye Jiang?”

”Hehe, I heard this person refused to join the Profound Celestial Maiden’s team.” Chen Yuan shook his head secretly, ”Quite principled, but I fear he’ll regret it now.”

He withdrew his gaze and led his team away.

...

The group continued forward.

Time after time, the best treasures were taken by teams with Star Talent.

Qiuqing Divine Hall followed behind, picking up what others left.

Jiang Ye watched all this silently, then suddenly stopped.

”Daoist Bai Qing.” He looked at Bai Qing: ”This isn’t working.”

”What do you suggest?” Bai Qing turned to look at him.

”We break away and go alone.”

”Not follow the main group, but seek opportunities deeper inside,” Jiang Ye proposed.

At these words, everyone’s expression changed slightly.

”Go alone?”

”Are you joking?” Qingyao’s face changed and she said repeatedly: ”If we act alone, what if we encounter the Celestial Battle Civilization’s Star Talent?”

”Not to mention, the depths of this Nine Heavens Cave Mansion are full of hidden dangers.”

”Staying with the main group, while unable to get the best treasures, at least it’s safe.” Qingyao shook her head repeatedly: ”Going alone is gambling with one’s life.”

The others nodded slightly.

Following the main group, even if all they could get were scraps, at least the dangers ahead were dealt with by the Profound Celestial Maiden and Yue Wuji.

If it weren’t for that, they wouldn’t have had such a peaceful journey.

”Anyway...”

”I’ll stay with the main group.” Qingyao said through clenched teeth.

Jiang Ye nodded, not refusing. He looked around, ”What about the others?”

Han Xiang remained silent for a moment before speaking slowly, ”I won’t go either.”

After some hesitation, the others also chose to stay with the main group.

”I...”

”I’ll follow Ye Jiang!” Zhao Tianji suddenly said with gritted teeth.

”Oh?” Jiang Ye looked at him, surprised.

”Hehe.” Zhao Tianji grinned: ”Sticking with the main group won’t get much anyway, might as well take a gamble.”

”Ye Jiang, my life is in your hands now.” Zhao Tianji patted his chest, determination in his eyes.

”I’ll separate from the main group too,” Bai Qing said slowly.

Jiang Ye nodded slightly.

He had long noticed Bai Qing’s ambition, so this choice didn’t surprise him.

”Alright.”

”In that case, I’ll leave the main group with Daoist Bai Qing and Zhao Tianji,” Jiang Ye looked around slowly and said, ”Until we meet again.”

”Take care,” Han Xiang looked at him deeply and said in a low voice.

Jiang Ye nodded without saying more.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

He led Bai Qing and Zhao Tianji rapidly toward the edge of the main group.

”This guy,”

”He’s truly unafraid of death,” Qingyao watched the receding figure with a complex expression.

For some reason, she suddenly thought of the black-clad youth who defeated Chihong on Hundred Kun Mountain, who fought his way to the top fifty of the Earth List amidst everyone’s doubts.

Perhaps the path that person took was never one to be walked with others.

And she had chosen a different path.

But no matter what, even if she had to choose again, she would still stay with the main group.

Leaving the main group was too dangerous.

Especially given that Jiang Ye was already targeted by the Celestial Battle Civilization, going alone was akin to seeking death.

She, Qingyao, wouldn’t foolishly walk to her own death.
