Chapter 651: Countless Treasures (2/2)
Even Dong Li came to meet him in private, expressing their clan and their patriarch Dong Wangling’s desire for the Heaven-shattering Crystal Cannon.
According to Lu Yuanxi, during these days, they had been discussing with the Heaven Palace Sect and other major sects, assigning contribution points to each party according to their contributions in their recent victory.
With contribution points, people would be able to purchase all sorts of spiritual materials, tools, and outsider corpses.
The same went for the Heaven-shattering Crystal Cannon.
Since Nie Tian had activated the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s spell formation and annihilated the ancient starship along with Basto, he was bound to have the most contribution points.
Neither the Tool Sect, the Dong Clan, nor the Spirit Condor would have enough contribution points to purchase the Heaven-shattering Crystal Cannon on their own.
The same went for the Flame God Sect, the Poison Sect, and the Heaven Palace Sect.
Only he would have enough contribution points to purchase the Heaven-shattering Crystal Cannon, due to his unmatched contributions in their victory.
It was agreed that all parties could only purchase items with contribution points. Trading or reciprocation with spirit stones or spiritual materials were not allowed. Because of this, Nie Tian had become very important.
Almost all of the major sects had expressed strong interest in the Heaven-shattering Crystal Cannon after witnessing its devastating might, even though it had broken into three pieces.
“The Spirit Condor, the Tool Sect, and the Dong Clan have all expressed their strong desire for the Heaven-shattering Crystal Cannon. They’re willing to compensate me with a fair amount of spirit stones, materials, and tools.” Nie Tian rubbed his chin, not knowing how to decide.
All of the three parties had expressed that they would be willing to purchase the other items he wanted for him with their own contribution points.
As long as he agreed to help them buy the Heaven-shattering Crystal Cannon, they would not only give him those items, but also help him get any other spiritual materials, tools, or incantations he wanted.
Meanwhile, these three parties were all very close to him, which put him in a dilemma.
Eventually, an interim solution occurred to him. “If I can’t think of a better solution, then I’ll give the three pieces of the Heaven-shattering Crystal Cannon to each of the three parties, and let them take it from there.”
Deep into the night on the third day that Nie Tian had spent in his private cave.
A loud scream echoed out from the distant square.
Experts from different sects jerked their heads towards the source of the scream and quickly came out of their caves.
Nie Tian and Lu Yuanxi were among them.
“Let’s go take a look!” With these words, Lu Yuanxi, who had happened to be visiting Nie Tian, grabbed him and flew directly towards the spacious square.
The other Soul realm experts and numerous Profound realm disciples also converged on the square from different directions.
Even juniors with insignificant cultivation bases sped over on air-transportation spiritual tools out of curiosity.
Soon, Lu Yuanxi and Nie Tian came to a stop in the air above the square.
They discovered that those who were at the square had all laid their indignant gazes on a bald man wreathed in blazing flames, who was the Flame God, Xia Yi.
An old woman from the Thunder Mountain Sect questioned him, anger filling her eyes. “What’s the meaning of this, Flame God? The Heavenly Flame Beast’s eye was looted from the outsiders. You’ll have to purchase it with contribution points if you want it. The parties are still not done calculating and determining the contribution points. What do you mean by taking the Heavenly Flame Beast’s eye?”
“Don’t do this, Brother Xia!” Lei Zhenyu from the Thunder Mountain Sect said in a thunderous voice, a bolt of lightning shooting straight up into the heavens like a lightning dragon.
Even Zhao Luofeng from the Heaven Palace Sect exclaimed with a long face, “Flame God! You’ve got to respect the rules!”
Xia Yi laughed sinisterly, holding an eye in his hand. Fiery sparks could be seen flickering within it, as if they contained the profound truths of fire. “What rules? Since I’ve taken the Heavenly Flame Beast’s eye, it’s mine now. With all of the members of my sect in an arcane realm, I’m free of all constraints.
“Anyone who’s unhappy about this and wants to take the Heavenly Flame Beast’s eye back is welcome to find me in the Realm of Dark Underworld!”
After uttering these words, he disappeared in one of the inter-realm teleportation portals, returning to the Realm of Dark Underworld.
“He didn’t even join the battle in the Realm of Mystic Heaven. He won’t have a single contribution point. How does he dare to take the Heavenly Flame Beast’s eye by force!?
“Clearly, he doesn’t plan to follow the rules we’ve agreed upon. That’s a man with no principles! He’s doing whatever he likes now that he’s entered the late Soul realm!
“Let’s tear the Flame God Sect down! And force him to give up the Heavenly Flame Beast’s eye!
“That’s outrageous! Xia Yi doesn’t respect any of the major sects in the Domain of the Falling Stars!”
Numerous Qi warriors from the Thunder Mountain Sect, the Heaven Expanse Sect, the Poison Sect, and the Heaven Palace Sect joined the condemnation of Xia Yi. Judging from their outraged expressions, they didn’t seem to be faking it.
Only the disciples of the Spirit God Sect, which were based in the same realm as the Flame God Sect, remained silent.
“The Heavenly Flame Beast’s eye!” Nie Tian also grew furious watching Xia Yi act with no scruples.
