Xiang Shaoyun's soul power had already reached a level comparable to a top Emperor's due to his bloodline awakening, his growth in strength, and the soul raising stone. Thus, it wouldn't be difficult for him to suppress the turtle emperor.
However, he still did not want to expose his Nether Soul Domain yet. Thus, after stopping the turtle and stealing the golden lotuses, he fled. If he really wanted to fight, he would even be able to kill the turtle emperor.
After losing the golden lotuses it was guarding, the turtle emperor started roaring madly in fury. It rushed out of the lake, revealing its dreadful body that was akin to a mountain. Unfortunately, before it could fly away, it was pressed back down into the lake by a certain incorporeal power. Naturally, that was a power originating from Xiang Shaoyun's Nether Soul Domain. He had no intention to allow the turtle emperor to catch up with Tang Longfei and the others.
”Don't create trouble, or I'll take your life,” threatened Xiang Shaoyun before he left toward Tang Longfei and the others.
The turtle head came out of the lake again, and its eyes were filled with confusion. Why would a King Realm human possess such a terrifying pressure? A short while later, Xiang Shaoyun caught up to Tang Longfei and company.
”Are you fine? That fellow sure is scary,” said Tang Longfei. Earlier, he had been jolted to the point of coughing blood. Even now, his face was still ghastly and pale.
”I'm fine. It won't be chasing us any longer. Take some time to recover before we continue traveling,” said Xiang Shaoyun.
Tang Longfei nodded and consumed some healing king medicines as he started recovering as quickly as possible. He did not want to delay everyone due to his injuries. He wouldn't be able to forgive himself if he caused others to fail the test. After he sat in meditation for less than an hour, he woke up. His face seemed to have regained some of its colors.
”This place is really laden with dangers. Looks like I can't get too greedy,” said Tang Longfei, somewhat dispirited.
After he said that, seven golden lotuses appeared on Xiang Shaoyun's palm as he said, ”I have them.”
Everyone's eyes lit up, and Xiang Shaoyun's image became even more enigmatic in their hearts. Of course, if he wasn't that powerful, how would he have been able to steal from the turtle emperor?
Joy covered Tang Longfei's face as he said, ”Nice one! What are you waiting for? Let's split the loot!”
Since Xiang Shaoyun had taken the lotuses out, it was clear he had no intention of keeping them for himself. He gave each of them one. Ning Wenhuang felt somewhat embarra.s.sed to receive her share, and she said, ”Young Master Xiang, th-this is something you've gained alone. H-how can I take it?”
”Just accept it. Since we are taking the test together, we are friends. Each of us are ent.i.tled to the loot,” said Xiang Shaoyun nonchalantly.
Ning Wenhuang glanced at Tang Longfei, and when she saw that he showed no response, she accepted the lotus. Lady Shura and the Han Clan sisters also received their shares. Lady Shura cultivated the power of gold. Thus, the lotus was extremely beneficial to her.
On the contrary, the lotus wasn't that useful for the Han Clan sisters, but Xiang Shaoyun still insisted they receive their shares. In the future, they could use them to trade for emperor medicines that could aid them in cultivation. And thus, only two of the lotuses were left. Naturally, Xiang Shaoyun kept both for himself.
