Chapter 198: Dividing the Spoils and Intercepting

Having channelled her purest Spiritual Energy in her body to the Human-Eating Blood Thorn Vine King, she only recovered a little more than half when night arrived, so they didn’t set out that night.

The next day, Lou Mu Yan was still recovering. She continuously absorbed the Spiritual Force of Heaven and earth from all directions. The bottleneck at Peak-Phase Sword King had appeared and as long as an opportunity came, she could advance to Sword Monarch.

After entering Sword Monarch, the condensed Fire Elemental Energy would be even purer, and she would be able to refine several Grade 3 pills.

Seeing Lou Mu Yan was still cultivating, Lou Mu Bai and the others didn’t disturb her either and instead helped Lou Mu Yan sweep up the Spiritual Herbs and Spars in the city.

The battle performance of the few people the other day wasn’t bad either, especially Lou Mu Bai and Yun Zi Mo’s combat power who made many Sword Masters of the same rank afraid, so they received a lot of attention wherever they went recently.

“We’ve also become famous under Lou Mu Yan’s light.”

Fu Chen knew that the reputation of their team had spread to many cities already, plus the skyrocketing points, so there was probably no one in the competition space who didn’t know the name ‘Lou Mu Yan’.

Yun Zi Mo also found that this time, after coming to participate in the Continental Tournament for Hegemony, his indifferent temperament had also changed a lot, “As long as we follow her, there definitely wouldn’t be any peaceful times, but such days aren’t bad either.”

He used to only know how to meditate and cultivate or travel to dangerous places with few people to train, but he was very lonely. Now, although he very often might lose his life, but it made him feel very fulfilled.

“That’s true. Either way, we didn’t come in vain.” Fu Chen smiled elegantly, his bookish aura still very strong.

After returning to the inn, the several people were called into the room by Lou Mu Yan.

She took out a pot of Spiritual Wine made from blood thorn vines and poured a glass for each of them. Then she raised her glass and said with a smile: “Congratulate us beforehand in advancing into the top ten.”

Yun Zi Mo and the others didn’t disappoint either, and they smiled, catering to her. They thought it was very likely for Lou Mu Yan to make it into the top ten, while their goal was more realistic, and that was to advance to the top hundred.

“We’re really lucky to have formed a team with you, Lou Mu Yan. Not only do we have pills to use, but we can also drink a cup of this kind of good wine every day. It sure was worth coming here this time.” Fu Chen took a sip of Spiritual Wine from his cup, sighing with emotion.

He sometimes even wondered if this woman had anything she couldn’t do?

“That’s true, you will have meat to eat if you follow This Young Miss.” Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying.

Lou Mu Bai looked at her in amusement, “You sure aren’t humble. Why would we have meat to eat if we follow you?”

“Dividing the spoils of course!” Lou Mu Yan blinked mischievously like a thief at the several people, “You can have meat to eat now.”

“Dividing the spoils?” The several people looked at her in confusion.

Lou Mu Yan spread out her palm in high spirits and six interspatial rings appeared in the sight of the several people.

“Aren’t these the interspatial rings of those people from the Yi Si Empire?”

Yun Lan looked at the rings in her hand with a smile of understanding in his eyes, “No wonder those people searched the place where we were fighting over and over and found nothing, so it turned out that you had secretly taken them away.”

They went up to the city wall first, and after battling, they went to the resting area with Lou Mu Yan. None of them had any awareness of taking the other party’s interspatial rings at all. After all, the few of them had never done something like killing and seizing other’s treasures.

It was only later, when they heard that many people were looking for the lost rings, did they realise how could they have forgotten about it.

In the world of Sword Masters, there was a tacit rule. After killing the opponent, the spoils belonged to oneself.

“Mm, after you all left, I got Xue Xue to hide in the ground and took away all the spoils. Of course I can’t benefit others.”

Lou Mu Yan said to the several people: “How about we divide the contents of the ring equally?”

“You can take an extra share. If you hadn’t killed the Prince of the Yi Si Empire, we might not have won.” Yun Zi Mo suggested.

The power of the golden giant wasn’t something they could resist at all. Without Lou Mu Yan, they wouldn’t be able to retreat completely against Yi Zhao at all.

“Yeah! You should get an extra share.” The others echoed.

Lou Mu Yan had a smile on her lips. She was quite satisfied with the characters of the people in this team. No one was too selfish, “You don’t need to give me an extra share. How about you just give me the Spiritual Herbs in these?”

The Spirit Tools and things like that just weren’t up to her standards, and she didn’t lack money either.

When she left Luo’xi City, she made a lot of money by selling two Tier 5 Demonic Beasts to the Ye Clan’s Spirt Pet Shop, otherwise it would’ve been impossible for her to sweep up every city she passed by.

“Sure, then that’s decided.”

After night fell, the several people set out from the city and continued their journey at night.

Watching Lou Mu Yan and the others leave, many Sword Masters in the city spread the news.

“I was just saying how their points could skyrocket so much, so it turned out that they set out at night. They really aren’t afraid of death.” A Sword Master who passed them by while entering the city to rest said with a sour tone.

The person next to him smiled: “If I had their combat ability, I’d also take the night road. Don’t say that grapes are sour just because you couldn’t eat them1.”

“Tsk, who’s sour? I was just expressing my thoughts and feelings. After all, they may not even be able to escape a Beast Tide even if their combat ability is good.”

“Their points have been skyrocketing for almost half a month now. Maybe they already encountered a Beast Tide. In any case, it only shows that the strength of these people is indeed not as it appears on the surface.”

“That woman named Lou Mu Yan is probably the dark horse in the first round of this competition.”

“I’m also optimistic about her too.”

“It’s hard to say. After all, rumours are just rumours. We didn’t personally see her fight the elite team of the Yi Si Empire. We’ll only know at the end of the competition.”

Such discussions about the few people could be heard all over the city, but many people scoffed at the rumours of the battle, thinking that these people were exaggerating.

It was pretty good already that a Peak-Phase Sword King could kill a Middle-Phase Sword Monarch, and maybe they even used some despicable means. How could it be as exaggerated as the rumours say.

“Mo Yan, look for a smaller medium-sized Beast Tide and let’s kill it.” After leaving the city, Lou Mu Yan said.

Small-sized Beast Tides were no longer difficult for them now, and also lost value for training and experience. Only in constantly dangerous battles could they improve their strength.

Mo Yan nodded, closed his eyes, and released his Demonic Sense instantly.

After a while, he opened his eyes and said: “A medium-sized Beast Tide is currently gathering about two hours to the south, and they should be preparing to attack the city.”

“If we arrive late, they might have already started attacking the city. Let’s ride on Bing Ji to intercept it.” The corners of Lou Mu Yan’s lips curled up. They only meet such a large fish every few nights, so they couldn’t possibly let it go.

“Alright!” Yun Zi Mo and the others also revealed slight smiles, filled with fighting intent.

Sitting on Bing Ji, it took only a quarter of an hour to arrive at the place where the Beast Tide gathered. As soon as they landed, the several people rushed into the Beast Tide, brandishing their swords.

Xue Xue shouted excitedly and fell in the central area to take root and prepare to suck to his fill.

The few people fought heartily in the Beast Tide, but the people who had been waiting for a long time in the nearest city weren’t so happy.

“Didn’t Young Lord predict that there will be a Beast Tide coming tonight? Why can’t we even see a shadow of one?”
