605 : Goodbye Water Demons

“It seems that everyone has numerous opinions on this magic herb field. I trust that nobody wants to waste too much time here, so it might be better to listen to this old man say a word. There are quite a lot of magic herbs here, so let us each take what we need and split it evenly, how’s that?” The one speaking was a rainbow level mage from the Mage Association. Even though his grade wasn’t very high, among these people, his strength could still be ranked among the top five.

The person from the Black Spider sneered. “Split it evenly? Wouldn’t that just be convincing other people?” When he mentioned other people, he looked meaningfully at the people from the Vermillion Blood Clan.

The Vermillion Blood Clan all knew that he was referring to them, and their expressions instantly grew ugly.

There were only five major powers here: the Mage Association, the Vermillion Blood Clan, the Black Spider, the True Dragon Clan, and the Qilin Clan. Since each major power had split off into separate paths after entering Peach Blossom Ruins, it was understandable that the attendance was uneven. Among the five major powers, only the Vermillion Blood Clan’s total strength was the weakest, so it was no wonder that the Black Spider was unwilling to split it evenly.

“Then what idea does Your Excellency have?” The representative from the Qilin Clan said lightly. It seemed like he also agreed with the Black Spider, since who wouldn’t be willing to receive a little bit more.

The representative from the Black Spider said, “There are eighteen Skull Herbs in total. Each of us can get four, and the remaining two will be given to the Vermillion Blood Clan.”

Once he finished speaking, the other three major powers all agreed, except the Vermillion Blood Clan.

What did the Vermillion Blood Clan matter in the face of profit? Decreasing their share would benefit the others, and only an idiot would reject something so great.

So even if the Vermillion Blood Clan was unwilling, in the face of the like-minded four major powers, they had no choice but to swallow all of their discontent back down. Who let them have so few people? They didn’t even have five people total, one of which was even a ‘blind person.’

After dividing up the Skull Herbs, the four major powers started to split up the rest. When there wasn’t enough to distribute, they would spill over into other magic herbs, and sometimes they would even forgo the Vermillion Blood Clan’s share completely.

“Black Spider, don’t get ahead of yourself. Even though the Vermillion Blood Clan doesn’t have many people, you shouldn’t underestimate us. If you push us too hard, in the worst case scenario we might end up in a life-and-death struggle.” The representative from the Vermillion Blood Clan howled angrily at the chief offender from the Black Spider.

The representative from the Black Spider had a very dark expression on his face.

Even though the representative from the Vermillion Blood Clan was furious, he didn’t get carried away by it. He purposefully pointed out the Black Spider and didn’t mention the other three major powers, so as to avoid them thinking that the Vermillion Blood Clan wanted to do a 1v4.

As for why he wanted to target the Black Spider: one reason was because the one to suggest decreasing the Vermillion Blood Clan’s share was them; the second reason was because he anticipated that the Black Spider wouldn’t actually dare to start fighting with them in this moment. Once both sides lost, the Black Spider would definitely be kicked out of the arena by the other three major powers.

“I think the two of you should stop fighting. The extra two magic herbs should belong to my Mage Association.” Just when the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, the representative from the Mage Association suddenly opened his mouth.
