"One-eyed?" Li Si was speechless, his dragon horn sword blocking the man's golden hook.

"I'm not one-eyed!" the man said in a muffled voice, as if he was deliberately pinching his nose to change his tone. At the same time, he slowly put away the golden hook in his hand, and there was no longer any hostility.

"Ha ha……"

Li Si sneered, "You really think I won't recognize you just because your face is covered?"

Before you come out, could you please take off any easily identifiable equipment you're wearing?

Wearing an eye patch and a golden hook on his hand, if you weren't one-eyed, I would have swallowed that dragon horn sword in my hand.

"I'm really not one-eyed!"

One-Eyed's voice was somewhat annoyed. He had originally planned to take advantage of the fact that no one had reacted yet to make a quick buck at the Black Dragon Society and supplement his family's income. However, he did not expect to run into Li Si, that old schemer, right away.

In the past, One-Eye would never have backed down against a second-tier cultivator, but after tonight's hunt for the black dragon, One-Eye felt somewhat guilty when facing Li Si.

Don't forget, Li Si personally planned most of the plan to hunt down the Black Dragon. If the Black Dragon hadn't been provoked by Fu Jiu at the last moment and pulled off a major reversal, it might have died at Wei Zheng's hands long ago.

Even a fourth-tier expert was almost killed by Li Si's scheme, how could the one-eyed man not feel guilty?

"Speak, what do you want?" Li Si gripped the dragon horn sword in his hand tightly.

This sword has been temporarily modified, now with an extra hilt, and has been acquired by Li Si.

As a prospective member of the Bureau of Myths and Gods, Li Si also carries great fortune. Even if it is not as exaggerated as Fu Jiu's, it is still extremely terrifying. The Dragon Horn Sword naturally knows how to choose.

One-Eyed's face turned bright red. "What else could he possibly do inside the Black Dragon Society's treasury?" Wasn't that a rhetorical question?

After a slight hesitation, One-Eyed said in a deep voice, "We'll split the spoils 50/50 after we meet. We'll divide the treasures inside 50/50."

"Hmph, dream on." Li Si sneered.

"You must have come behind Wei Zheng's back, right? If Wei Zheng wanted to come, with his thick skin, he would definitely bring a large group of people to empty the Black Dragon Society, and he would never have just let you come alone."

"nonsense!"

The one-eyed man yelled and made up a story: "I'm here to help the Pavilion Master scout the way. I'm only here at the treasure vault to prevent anyone from stealing."

Li Si looked at the one-eyed man as if he were an idiot. "You, a thief, are here guarding someone's treasure vault? Do you really think my IQ is as low as yours?"

"Hurry up and decide. We'll split the profits 50/50. Just tell me if you agree or not." One-Eyed's eyes darted around, and an idea popped into his head.

Don't let his seemingly silly appearance fool you; he's shrewder than anyone else when it comes to opportunities.

"If you don't agree, I'll call for help right now. Once those people outside rush in, you won't get anything."

To supplement his family's income, One-Eyed was really going all out, and his voice even became a bit more assertive.

"Oh, not bad, you dare to threaten me." Li Si chuckled sinisterly.

"Have you forgotten the big shot behind us? I'm here to collect resources for that big shot. If you delay his business, your Zhanlong Pavilion will be in deep trouble. Wei Zheng might even drag you out and feed you to the dogs to apologize to the big shot."

"Stop talking nonsense! Our boss isn't like that..."

As he spoke, the one-eyed man gradually fell silent. Based on his understanding of Wei Zheng, it was quite possible that such a possibility actually existed.

One-Eyed didn't want to argue with Li Si anymore. No matter how much he argued, he couldn't win against Li Si, since Li Si had the confidence.

In the past, when he fought against third-tier experts from other forces, even if those people were stronger than him, they did not dare to kill him, because they all knew that behind One-Eyed stood Wei Zheng of the Dragon Slaying Pavilion, one of the three overlords of the underground forces in Qingshui City, a genuine fourth-tier expert.

If they kill or severely injure the one-eyed man, who knows if Wei Zheng, with his petty nature, will retaliate?

Whenever One-Eye saw those people wanting to harm him but being afraid of Wei Zheng and not daring to go all out, One-Eye felt a secret smugness, thinking to himself that it was so comfortable to have a big shot protecting him.

Now, One-Eye understands the plight of those people and also feels the deep malice from the world. Li Si at this moment is equivalent to him back then.

Does having a powerful backer mean you can do whatever you want? Does having a powerful backer mean you can steal other people's things without restraint?

No, we have to resist until... well, never mind, let's just bear with it a little longer.

One-Eyed admitted defeat. Having a powerful backer isn't everything, but not having one is absolutely unacceptable.

Even Wei Zheng, the leader, could only kneel down instantly when facing that mysterious person, so it doesn't seem like a big deal that he admitted defeat.

"How about we split the profits 90/10?" One-Eye asked, suppressing his heartache.

"You can't possibly take all of this with you, so leaving me some isn't unreasonable, is it?"

Li Si pondered for a moment and nodded. What the one-eyed man said made some sense, and he couldn't push the one-eyed man too far. The river god was still outside and couldn't help for the time being. If they really fought, he might not be a match for the one-eyed man.

The Dragon Horn Sword significantly boosted his strength, but he wasn't sure if it would allow him to defeat the One-Eyed Swordsman despite being of a higher level.

"Agreed, but let me choose first."

The shouts of battle outside have gradually subsided, and the fight will be over soon. If we don't hurry, it may be too late.

Although Li Si was not afraid of the White Shark Gang's power, it would still be troublesome if his identity were exposed.

The three of them are still relatively new and need to remain in a low-key position for a while before they have the confidence to dominate Qingshui City.

Liu Bowen can only make a move once, and if his fifth-level strength is exposed, he may not only fail to intimidate everyone, but it may backfire and lead to him being besieged by all the forces in Qingshui City.

It's said that the law enforcers are also quite the fighting maniacs. If you were blocked at the door by them and ended up fighting Liu Bowen, using up their trump cards, you'd have nowhere to cry later.

"Okay!" One-Eye gritted his teeth and readily agreed.

There are plenty of good things here. You can exchange just a little bit for hundreds or thousands of spirit stones. Li Si can't take them all by himself. Making money together is the right way. There's no need to fight to the death.

And so, while keeping a wary eye on each other, the two made their way deeper into the treasure vault.

The Black Dragon Society's treasury was not as dazzling as one might imagine, nor was it filled with gold and silver treasures.

On the contrary, this place is very down-to-earth, with all kinds of monster ingredients, spiritual fruits, and refining materials neatly arranged together.

More precious ingredients and spiritual fruits are packed into special boxes to prevent their effects from diminishing, while less valuable ingredients are everywhere, mostly the meat of first and second-tier demonic beasts and low-grade spiritual fruits.

The reason so many ingredients were laid out was not because the Black Dragon Society members were greedy, but because they were needed for cultivation.

Besides regularly training their physique, the fastest way for low-level cultivators to improve their strength is to consume spiritual fruits and refine the blood and qi of demonic beasts.

These ingredients and spiritual fruits are mostly prepared for lower-ranking members. As long as they make corresponding contributions to the Black Dragon Society, they can receive some good things from it.

When these members are about to break through a bottleneck, they can receive additional rewards to help them break through even faster.

These combined benefits allow them to cultivate much faster than they could on their own, which is why many people are willing to join a major power.

Whether it's the Black Dragon Society, the Dragon Slayer Pavilion, the Fish Dragon Path, or the White Shark Gang, they all have a reasonable and comprehensive reward system. Otherwise, who would be willing to risk their lives for them?

Li Si couldn't stop smiling. Many of the ingredients inside were things he had always dreamed of. He couldn't afford them before, but now that he had finally come across them, he couldn't let them go.

The only disappointing thing was that there was a corpse lying on the ground, which should have been a guard of the treasure vault. It looked like he had been dealt with by One-Eye, which explained why he didn't see anyone when he came in.

After devouring the precious ingredients, Li Si continued deeper into the area, where there were sure to be many more good things waiting for him.
