Chapter 6498 There are no eternal allies.
It was already late at night when Venerable Tianji returned to Tianji Palace.
The main hall was brightly illuminated, and the four Golden Immortal Elders remained standing in the same place, not moving an inch.
They had stood all day and all night, their legs numb, and their robes soaked with sweat, but not one dared to sit down.
Upon seeing Venerable Tianji enter the main hall, the four bowed in unison, their eyes filled with hope.
“Palace Master, what’s the situation?” Elder Zhao spoke first, his voice hoarse and full of urgency.
Venerable Tianji did not answer immediately. He walked to the throne and slowly sat down.
My fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, once, then again.
His face looked gloomy, but an almost imperceptible glimmer of cold light radiated from his eyes.
“The Divine Chasm Pavilion agreed. Venerable Xuanbing will send 500 troops on the condition that they receive 30% of the supreme treasure and 30% of the Thousand Demon Ridge’s resources.”
His voice was calm, so calm that it gave goosebumps.
The four elders exchanged glances, a glimmer of dissatisfaction flashing in their eyes.
Elder Qian stepped forward, put his hands together in greeting, and said, “Palace Master, taking 30% of the 500 troops is too much.”
“I know.”
Venerable Tianji interrupted, “But that old fox Xuanbing is not that easy to deceive. He already knows about the treasure. If we don’t give it to him, he won’t send troops. We have no choice.”
The four elders remained silent.
They knew that the temple master was telling the truth.
Without the help of the Divine Abyss Pavilion, even if the Heavenly Extreme Palace managed to launch an attack on the Thousand Demon Ridge alone, it would be a futile victory.
In that case, Tianji Palace itself would suffer even greater losses.
“Where is the Heavenly Saint Palace?” Elder Zhao asked.
The Heavenly Venerate’s expression grew graver. “Holy Light Venerable wants fifty percent.”
“Fifty percent?” Elder Li exclaimed in surprise. “He’s just a rank three mid-stage Gold Immortal, and he dares to ask for fifty percent? Palace Master, you agree?”
Venerable Tianji snorted coldly, “What can we do if we don’t agree? Venerable Holy Light said he doesn’t mind cleaning up the mess after the two of us are weakened. At that time, he won’t need to send troops to take everything away.”
An eerie silence enveloped the main hall.
The four elders all looked extremely grim.
Adding 30% to 50% will give 80%.
Despite their efforts, Heavenly Palace only managed to secure 20% of the profits.
This deal was a huge loss.
Elder Zhao gritted his teeth and whispered, “Palace Master, if this happens, wouldn’t our Heavenly Pole Palace only have 20% left?”
Venerable Tianji waved his hand, motioning him to stop talking.
He leaned against the throne, his fingers still tapping lightly on the armrest, his rhythm slow and steady.
There was no anger or hatred in his eyes, only an eerie calm.
Do you really think I will share this treasure with them?
The four elders were all shocked.
Elder Zhao’s eyes lit up. “Palace Master, you mean”
The Heavenly Venerate sneered, a cold smile that seemed to lower the temperature of the hall.
