Chapter 407 - Out of Options

When they saw the scene before them, those who were still planning to bluff their way out began trembling in fear.

If they wanted to leave, then the only way was to obediently hand over their treasures!

Wu Yazi flew around with furrowed brows, searching for Nie Li and Xiao Yu. This Hierarch Blacknether was being extremely difficult. Of all the people in the Demon God’s Sect, he was the one who Wu Yazi wanted to encounter the least. This thought lowered his spirits. Even if he managed to kill Nie Li and take his treasures, those treasures would probably end up in Hierarch Blacknether’s hands.

He’d even have to give up all the treasures he’d obtained for himself!

So in the end, he’d have to return empty-handed, having gained nothing?

He was extremely dejected. He was still unwilling to resign!

As he flew along, he ran into two figures flying out of the palace: Nie Li and Yan Yang. Nie Li had already returned to his human form.

Wu Yazi twitched his brows, then placed himself in their path. He stared at Nie Li and proclaimed, “Nie Li, we meet again!”

Yan Yang and Nie Li paused their steps. Yan Yang glanced at Nie Li and transmitted, “Who’s this guy? Should I kill him?”

Nie Li considered the situation for a moment, then shook his head and said, “No need for that!”

Wu Yazi looked at Yan Yang with his guard on full alert. He’d already seen Yan Yang’s strength. If Yan Yang chose to interferes, Wu Yazi knew he wasn’t Yan Yang’s opponent.

Nie Li lightly smiled, “Brother Wu Yazi, our deal is complete. We’ll go our separate ways now. I hope that next time we meet, it won’t be as enemies!”

Wu Yazi swept an eye over his surroundings with question marks in his heart. Why wasn’t Xiao Yu with Nie Li? Could he have somehow offended Nie Li? Nie Li hadn’t brought him out of the stone array; could Xiao Yu have died in there?

Wu Yazi looked at Nie Li and said, “We had a pact earlier. We said that we’d split all the treasures we found. But I haven’t received my share!”

Nie Li smiled bitterly and spread out his hands. “What’s the point in arguing about that? One of your Martial Ancestor Realm experts has already taken control of this palace. Even if I gave you the treasures, you wouldn’t be able to sneak them out!”

Wu Yazi raised his eyebrows. “You don’t have to worry about that!”

Nie Li indifferently replied, “This isn’t as you think. I didn’t take any treasures from the palace. Even if you searched me, there’s nothing I can give!”

Nie Li definitely wouldn’t allow Wu Yazi to search him. After all, Wu Yazi had seen Nie Li take those treasures with his own eyes. If the interspatial ring was empty, then Wu Yazi would definitely be suspicious.

“As if I’d believe you!” Wu Yazi felt extremely depressed. All this time, Wu Yazi had believed himself to have control over everything; only now did he realise that Nie Li had already made counter-preparations. And Nie Li had an expert like Yan Yang next to him. There was nothing that Wu Yazi could do to Nie Li.

Was he going to let Nie Li bring the Demon Blood Sacrifice with him, out of the palace?

Wu Yazi glanced at Yan Yang and transmitted his voice to Nie Li. “I’ll forego the treasures you have. But I want you to return the power of the Demon Blood Sacrifice!”

He tried to think of ways he could kill Nie Li before Yan Yang could react.

However, Yan Yang’s cold stare told him that he wouldn’t have that chance to do so.
