Chapter 2001: Chapter 1026: Today, None of You Will Escape Death! (2)

At this moment, Lin Tianming and the other six gathered together once more.

At this moment, the faces of everyone carried slight smiles, seeming to cover up their individual fatigue.

After a long while, Wang Yaowu, the nominal leader, was the first to break the silence.

“Fellow Daoists, this patch of Black Gold Wood Forest has been completely felled, all the Black Gold Wood is placed on this open ground.”

After saying this, Wang Yaowu pointed to a pile of Black Gold Wood not far away and continued: “In total, there are four hundred thirty-eight pieces of Black Gold Wood here.”

“According to the prior agreement, forty percent of the profits will go to the three Daoists.”

“However, during the previous battle with the Black Gold Ape group, Daoist Xu and Daoist Xiang helped quite a bit, only then could we smoothly defeat our respective opponents.”

“So I propose that the Black Gold Ape corpses go to the three Daoists, but the leftover Black Gold Wood can be used as compensation to Daoist Xu and Daoist Xiang, what do you think?”

After saying this, Wang Yaowu looked seriously at Lin Tianming and the other two, seemingly waiting for their response.

Upon hearing these words, Lin Tianming glanced at Lin Tianyun and Qin Xi beside him, then nodded in agreement.

“Daoist Wang, I agree on behalf of the two of them!”

Upon hearing the reply, Wang Yaowu nodded with satisfaction, thinking that Lin Tianming was indeed sensible, agreeing to his suggestion without much thought during their discussion.

Thus, his intention to give them a hard time was something he felt uncomfortable displaying.

But he quickly regained his composure, his expression revealing no thoughts.

Meanwhile, internally, based on the circumstances at hand, he made a judgment.

According to his thinking, the Lin Tianming group being so polite further proved their overall strength wasn’t very high, and their confidence wasn’t enough.

Otherwise, faced with such a suggestion, they wouldn’t agree so readily without bargaining.

Moreover, to know that forty percent of thirty-eight pieces of Black Gold Wood gives fifteen pieces, its accumulated value far exceeds a Late Stage Third Order Black Gold Ape corpse.

So under normal circumstances, ordinary cultivators, upon hearing such a proposal, would exhibit some resistance and opinions.

On the contrary, Lin Tianming’s group accepted the proposal lightly, as if they had anticipated such a result beforehand.

Faced with this, Wang Yaowu was actually somewhat surprised internally, but more so felt a surge of excitement.

Because in his view, their cowardice entirely showed that the three’s overall strength wasn’t high, and they dared not have the slightest disapproval.

This point was evidenced during the earlier battle with the Black Gold Ape group, where he noticed some signs.

At the very least, the three individuals’ overall strength was clearly inferior to the four on his side, with a significant gap between them.

On this basis, their submission further affirmed Wang Yaowu’s suspicion.

So, in the following moments, Wang Yaowu thought a bit inwardly and eventually made a determination.

However, Wang Yaowu still kept these thoughts temporarily to himself, outwardly remaining calm, revealing nothing to anyone.

After a brief moment, Wang Yaowu said: “Since the few Daoists have no objections, let’s calculate based on four hundred pieces of Black Gold Wood.”

“According to the agreed quantity, you can obtain forty percent profit, which is exactly one hundred sixty pieces of Black Gold Wood.”

“Alright!”

“Next, the few Daoists may take action and collect them yourselves!”

“After these Daoists collect the Black Gold Wood, the remaining will be divided among us.”

This last sentence was clearly meant for Monk Xu and the others.

Upon hearing these words, Monk Xu and the others looked at Wang Yaowu, then shifted their gaze to Lin Tianming and his group.

At this time, Lin Tianming and his group heard Wang Yaowu’s words and also felt their gazes.

Faced with this, Lin Tianming was indifferent, not wanting to know what they thought.

As for now, there was no need to be polite, he just needed to take back the Lin Family’s interests.

Upon understanding this point, Lin Tianming walked forward unconcerned, starting to store the Black Gold Wood piece by piece into his storage bag.

And his speed was very fast, in the blink of an eye, a hundred pieces of Black Gold Wood had been collected by him.

At this time, Wang Yaowu and his group behind him kept watching the Lin Tianming trio, their expressions turning from calm to increasingly serious.

Meanwhile, the colors in their gaze were undergoing an obvious transformation.

Following this, at some point, Wang Yaowu glanced at the companions beside him, privately exchanging transmissions.

Soon, Wang Yaowu’s group of four seemed to have reached a consensus.

Thus, as Lin Tianming had just finished collecting a hundred sixty pieces of Black Gold Wood, Wang Yaowu’s expression turned grim, his eyes releasing a fierce light.

Then, without expression, Wang Yaowu snorted coldly.

“Humph!”

“You Daoist are truly naïve, showing no discernment at all, not planning to show some courtesy to us!”

As soon as the words fell, Cultivator Xiang responded quickly from the other side.

“Indeed!”

“Isn’t this Daoist overly confident? Truly distributing just according to what was agreed upon beforehand?”

Upon hearing these words, Lin Tianming in the front couldn’t help but smirk, his countenance immediately cold.

As expected, Wang Yaowu and his group indeed intended to renege on their promise as he anticipated.

Moreover, their meaning was clear enough, evidently having thought about burning bridges once they are past.

And for such people, Lin Tianming was historically very averse.

In his opinion, if the other party kept their promise, then they wouldn’t have any conflicts, and perhaps could even become friends later on.

But if the other party isn’t sensible, not only burning bridges but also harboring malintent towards them.

Then, apologies, the Lin Family wouldn’t hold back either.

Under such a mentality, Lin Tianming’s expression immediately turned grim, emitting a strand of battle intent.

At this time, not only Lin Tianming alone, Lin Tianyun and Qin Xi beside him also heard Wang Yaowu’s words, and seeing Lin Tianming’s angry face, their expressions similarly turned cold.

Following this, the sharp gazes of the two tightly locked onto Wang Yaowu and his group, evidently ready to strike at any moment.

At this very moment, Wang Yaowu and his group, upon seeing the trio’s appearance, couldn’t help but laugh, seemingly looking down on them.

And also, Cultivator Xiang looked at Lin Tianming’s group, not forgetting to mockingly laugh: “Haha…”

“Where do the three Daoists find the courage?”

“Just relying on the three’s little strength, daring to show battle intent before us?”

“In my view, if you put down these Black Gold Wood, and each offer a few high-value treasures to us.”

Saying this, Cultivator Xiang laughed sinisterly, revealing a crafty expression.

“Hehehe…”

“Offering that female cultivator for us to play with once, perhaps we’ll be in a good mood and let you live.”

Hearing this sentence, Monk Xu’s expression immediately brightened, his eyes uncontrollably revealing a hint of greed.

Not just him, even Wang Yaowu who led them, outwardly still calm, but internally started to get restless.

At this time, under Wang Yaowu and their group’s vile laughter, Lin Tianming and his group’s expression turned extremely grim.

Meanwhile, Lin Tianming’s sharp gaze fixed fiercely on Wang Yaowu’s group, as if intent on tearing them apart.

“Humph!”

At this moment, Lin Tianming let out a cold snort, then, eyes fierce, angrily cursed at Wang Yaowu and his group: “How dare you talk big as these nobodies?”

“And, daring to insult my beloved wife?”

“Haha… today, none of you will live, even if the Heavenly King arrives, he wouldn’t be able to save you!”
