Chapter 92 – Enter the Temple

‘If we can’t fight her we will have to talk it out!’

Jin Yan shared a look with Mo Ya, ground his teeth as he was getting mentally ready to compromise.

Lin Zi Yan was more selfish than she was considerate but being a Warrior herself she could relate to their frustration.

‘There are only ten pills. I have these seals on my body, and it will be harder for me to breakthrough to the condensed prime Warrior level than everyone else. I will need around five pills for myself to be safe, and I need to save some for Ye Wei…’

“Zi Yan, if we really want to we can just fight them. I don’t think they can take all of us!” Ye Wei thought as he could see that Lin Zi Yan was frustrated. He briefly looked at Jin Yan and Mo Ya, ‘Finders keepers! That has always been the rule in these kinds of situations. Why do they think they can just ask for the pills when Zi Yan was the one who got her hands on them first?’

Thinking about the thirty odd scrolls in his bag and how he was backed up by hundreds of strong cultivators, Ye Wei was actually feeling pretty confident.

“Mo Ya, Jin Yan, both of you know how rare these pills are. You couldn’t buy them even if you had the money for them! I need them as much as you two do!”

“I can give one pill away!” Lin Zi Yan laid one pill on her palm and said calmly.

“One pill?” Jin Yan’s face darkened. It was obvious that Lin Zi Yan was trying to turn Mo Ya against him; therefore, he shook his head and made a counter offer that involved an even number. “Four pills at least! Name your price!”

Mo Ya also saw through Lin Zi Yan’s cheeky plan. He frowned and said, “Yeah, four pills. That’s the bottom line.”

“Only one. I have a use for the rest of them.” Lin Zi Yan determinedly shook her head. There was no way she would let Mo Ya and Jin Yan take four pills from her.

“No? How about two then?” Mo Ya and Jin Yan were desperate, and they were too stressed to hide it.

“One pill and I will trade it for no less than eight hundred thousand silver, or something of the same value. Final offer. If you don’t want it all the better!” Lin Zi Yan sounded determined.

“Eight hundred, what? Why don’t you go rob the City Lord?” Jin Yan’s face darkened further, and his eyes twitched as he spoke, ‘Even I can’t come up with that much money.’

Mo Ya frowned. He was deep in thought and didn’t talk, ‘If I were her, I wouldn’t give the pills up easily either… If Jin Yan and I were in a better position then fine, but now they really do have the advantage. There is no real reason for her to give us any pills. As ridiculous as her offer sounds, I think this is actually decent.’ Mo Ya acquired a lot of treasures from this labyrinth, so much so that it would make up for the price Lin Zi Yan proposed.

“No? Fine then.” Lin Zi Yan said and put the pill back inside her bag.

“Wait! Eight hundred thousand correct? I will take your offer!” Mo Ya stepped forward and threw his interspatial bag to Lin Zi Yan, “This is everything I have with me. I’ve acquired quite a bit since I stepped in this labyrinth. I’m sure this is worth eight hundred thousand silver if not more!”

“Mo Ya… What are you doing?”

Jin Yan’s eyes widened, and he stared at Mo Ya’s silhouette. He was furious and surprised. Until this moment Mo Ya and him were on the same side.

“If I fail my condensing breakthrough then I will need to train for two or even three years to regain my Qi. Only after that could I attempt a breakthrough again. I am not a gambling man, use your common sense, Jin Yan. Outside of this labyrinth, even if you have eight hundred thousand silver, you won’t be able to get yourself half of this pill! And that’s if you’re lucky enough to find a seller! If you’re not taking the offer, you can’t blame anyone who does!” Mo Ya said calmly. It was true that Jin Yan has become a person he could trust, but in the end, they were not that close. They only fought alongside each other because they didn’t stand a chance against Lin Zi Yan on their own.

“Sure, here’s your pill!” Lin Zi Yan caught the bag and after sensing its contents and confirming their value, she threw one of the ten pills to Mo Ya.

“Farewell!”

Mo Ya carefully put away the pill and immediately headed back.

“Good. Excellent!” Jin Yan stared at Mo Ya until he eventually disappeared into the woods. He ground his teeth so hard the grinding noise was audible from where the many Warriors stood. The bulging veins on his head didn’t fade for quite a while after Mo Ya was out of sight. After many deep breaths, he looked at Lin Zi Yan and said, “Fine then I will pay you the same amount. Give me a pill!” Jin Yan ground his teeth as he spoke. He looked like he was going to bite someone.

“No. I told both of you, I will only give away one pill!” Lin Zi Yan directed rejected Jin Yan’s request. She had already planned to save five for her personal use and four for Ye Wei; there was no room for negotiations.

Mo Ya and Jin Yan as a duo were threatening, but on his own against hundreds of armed Warriors, Jin Yan was nothing.

“Hmpft!” Jin Yan grunted reluctantly. He then turned and quickly flew towards the Glacial Temple.

Seeing that Mo Ya and Jin Yan left, Lin Zi Yan looked at Ye Wei with a friendly glance and smiled, “Let’s go. I want to see the Glacial Temple!” She dragged Ye Wei using the Shadowshift stance.

‘There is no doubt, the most valuable thing in this labyrinth is hidden here. And if the rumors are true The emperor also left something else here before he passed.’

“Go!”

“Let’s go together!” Hong Xun, Xue Yao, and the Warriors were motivated by the possibility of inheriting the Glacial Emperor’s legacy. They could hardly contain themselves.

Everyone flew towards the Glacial Temple.

“Damn it… Damn it!”

“Lin Zi Yan, Mo Ya, and that annoying Student brat! I will remember this! Just wait! I will make sure you all pay!” Jin Yan suppressed his rage, “If I inherit the Glacial Emperor’s legacy, none of you will leave here alive!” Looking at the grand structure that was mysteriously floating in the air, Jin Yan stood on his spear and injected Qi into it making the three-star mystic arm levitate. The spear turned into a flash of golden light and brought Jin Yan to the green and blue runic cloud platform outside the temple’s gate before anyone could even see the temple’s entrance.
