Chapter 1998: Chapter 1025: Black Gold Wood Forest

At this moment, Lin Tianming hovered in mid-air, his sharp gaze directed towards the scene below.

Following his line of sight, the land beneath was in complete disarray, littered with the carcasses and severed limbs of the Black Gold Apes, presenting a scene of utter devastation.

The ground had returned to a state of calm, with not a single Black Gold Ape surviving at the hands of the human cultivators.

The only one that managed to flee was the leader of the Black Gold Ape group, whose chances of survival at the hands of Wang Yaowu were extremely slim.

According to Lin Tianming’s prediction, the Black Gold Ape Leader was already heavily injured, making it almost impossible to escape from Wang Yaowu, who was in his peak condition.

Under these circumstances, the fleeing Black Gold Ape Leader was likely facing a bleak fate.

With this in mind, Lin Tianming looked towards the direction in which the Black Gold Ape Leader had fled.

Sure enough, not long after, Wang Yaowu flew over from the horizon, dragging behind him a massive corpse.

That large corpse was undoubtedly the fleeing Black Gold Ape Leader.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming smiled slightly, thinking that it was as he predicted. Wang Yaowu didn’t expend much time at all in killing the Black Gold Ape Leader and bringing back its intact body to the battlefield.

Calming down a bit, Lin Tianming withdrew his gaze.

At this time, Lin Tianyun and Qin Xi, who had finished the battle on the other side, also arrived in front of Lin Tianming.

Upon seeing them, Lin Tianming slightly nodded. Even without uttering a word, Lin Tianyun and Qin Xi already understood Lin Tianming’s true thoughts.

Thus, Lin Tianyun and Qin Xi responded with nods of their own.

Meanwhile, the returning Wang Yaowu threw the Black Gold Ape Leader’s corpse to the ground, causing a thunderous noise that attracted everyone’s attention.

Next, Cultivator Xu, observing Wang Yaowu’s actions, couldn’t help but laugh heartily, an unabashedly excited smile on his face.

“Daoist Wang, your strength is truly formidable.

“It seems you hardly exerted yourself or took much time in easily killing this not-so-weak Black Gold Ape Leader!”

Cultivator Xu praised, his words filled with flattery.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cultivator Xiang, upon hearing these words, also voiced a complimentary remark.

“Xu Daoyou is correct!”

“In my view, Daoist Wang’s strength is undeniably the most powerful among us.”

“Take the leader of the Black Gold Ape group, for instance; its combat strength is not weak, and an ordinary Late Stage Third Order Demonic Beast would not be its match.”

“However, such a powerful Third Order Demonic Beast was soundly defeated and finally killed by Daoist Wang.”

“In the end, the Black Gold Ape Leader was unable to escape from the palm of Daoist Wang despite trying so hard.”

Wang Yaowu, upon hearing these words, was quite pleased internally, but his expression remained unchanged.

Following that, Wang Yaowu waved his hand humbly and responded, “Haha…”

“Oh, it was just a bit lucky, that’s all.”

“It’s Xu Daoyou and Daoist Xiang who have overestimated me!”

After saying this, Wang Yaowu’s expression returned to normal, seemingly unfazed by the compliments.

However, he was indeed somewhat excited within, pleased with the actions of these two cultivators.

After calming down a bit, Wang Yaowu smiled slightly and then took the initiative to change the topic.

“Fellow Daoists, this war is completely over now, and the entire Black Gold Ape group has been exterminated.”

“Now, the obstacle before us has been removed.”

“Next, let’s quickly clean the battlefield and then proceed together to the stronghold of the Black Gold Ape group to collect all those valuable Black Gold Woods.”

“Once that’s done, we’ll distribute each other’s interests, and then we can go about our own business.”

After saying this, Wang Yaowu’s gaze wandered over the people, as if waiting for their opinions and responses.

Hearing this, Cultivator Xu and Cultivator Xiang immediately responded.

“Daoist Wang speaks the truth!”

“We must know that this Ancient Beast Secret Realm is inherently perilous, with unknown dangers lurking at every moment.”

“On such a basis, unforeseen events might occur at any time, disrupting our plans.”

“Therefore, we should indeed seize the time to clean the battlefield and then collect our respective interests.”

“Once that’s done, if anyone wishes to continue cooperating, we can continue to adventure and seek treasures together.”

“If, however, anyone would rather not go together, they can part ways.”

“In short, we should avoid wasting everyone’s time.”

As soon as he finished, Cultivator Xiang immediately added.

“Yes, yes, yes…”

“Let’s make good use of our time!”

“Haha… there are quite a number of those Black Gold Woods, each with considerable value. Even some Nascent Soul Early Stage experts would find them tempting.

“After all, these Black Gold Woods are quite useful, and their accumulated value is significant.”

“At least in our cultivators’ eyes, such a profit is extremely rare.”

“With these Black Gold Woods, even if we don’t obtain other high-value treasures, we would definitely not have come in vain.”

After saying this, Cultivator Xiang appeared impatient, seemingly full of anticipation for the next treasure-gathering process.
