Chapter 4778: Split the Purple Lotus?

No one would believe that the Purple Lotus, which even Zu Dan of the Pseudo-Emperor Realm (Level 9) couldn't handle, was resolved by Xiao Fan, who is only at the Pseudo-Emperor Realm (Level 4).

Even if it were the truth, they wouldn't believe it… The reason is simple: they covet the Purple Lotus in Xiao Fan's hands and want to find an excuse to kill him and snatch it away.

"Hehe… No matter what I say, you won't believe me, will you?" Xiao Fan sneered.

"Xiao Xuan! Stop making excuses! If you're a man, just admit it!"

"That's right! We all saw it! You were the one who killed Zu Dan!"

"Zu Dan was fine just a moment ago! It was you…"

"Killing a companion! You deserve to die!!"

"My Lord, give the order!"

…

The people following Sha Mushi were all brimming with Killing Intent. Some even drew their Magical Artifacts, waiting for her command to swarm Xiao Fan and kill him.

Xiao Fan looked at Sha Mushi and said indifferently, "Do you also think that what I did just now was wrong?!"

Sha Mushi remained silent. She had been too far away to be certain if Zu Dan was truly dead. Likewise, she knew clearly that if she couldn't be sure, the people following her certainly couldn't be either.

The reason they wanted to attack Xiao Fan must be because of the Purple Lotus on him…

Sha Mushi was no fool. She was not the person she once was; having been tempered for so many years, she could still see the greed in human nature.

In truth, Sha Mushi also wanted the Purple Lotus in Xiao Fan's possession; anyone could tell that the Purple Lotus was an unimaginable treasure.

"I… I am not sure about what happened just now." Sha Mushi hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. "I cannot be certain if Zu Dan was already dead beforehand, so I also cannot be certain whether you killed Zu Dan in self-defense or to seize the treasure."

Hearing this, the group of Prodigies following Sha Mushi grew anxious.

"My Lord! It must be to seize the treasure!"

"Exactly, exactly… I sensed it just now! Zu Dan wasn't dead at all!"

"He must have killed Zu Dan! He just doesn't dare to admit it!"

…

"Shut up!" Sha Mushi was furious and said in a deep voice, "Even I couldn't sense whether Zu Dan was alive or dead! And you all could? Does that mean your Soul Power is even greater than mine?!"

Hearing this, the group of experts fell silent, and no one dared to speak.

Sha Mushi let out a sigh and looked at Xiao Fan. "Let's just consider what happened just now as settled… But this must not happen again. You must follow orders, do you hear me?!"

Xiao Fan shook his head helplessly. "Fine."

Sha Mushi didn't care if others didn't follow orders, but she insisted that he do so. How could Xiao Fan be happy about that?!

However, Sha Mushi didn't let anyone attack, which satisfied Xiao Fan; otherwise, he would have really had to kill these people.

"Alright, let's go…" Sha Mushi exhaled and prepared to continue moving forward.

"No! My Lord! We have no objection to you being generous and sparing him! But the Purple Lotus from just now! It cannot remain in Xiao Xuan's hands!" Suddenly, someone spoke up.

As soon as these words were spoken, the others chimed in one after another.

"That's right! My Lord… That Purple Lotus was discovered by Zu Dan first! If it weren't for Xiao Xuan! The Purple Lotus would definitely have been Zu Dan's!"

"He killed Zu Dan! And he even snatched Zu Dan's Purple Lotus! This is unfair!"

"My Lord, I propose that we split the Purple Lotus!!"

…

These people made no attempt to conceal their greed for the Purple Lotus. Some suggested that Xiao Fan hand the Purple Lotus to Sha Mushi for safekeeping, and after they left the Ancient Burial Holy Land, they would give Xiao Fan a slightly larger share.

Others proposed that the Purple Lotus should just belong to Sha Mushi as a way to curry favor…

In short, there were all sorts of suggestions, but they all converged on one point: the Purple Lotus could not remain in Xiao Fan's hands.

"This…" Sha Mushi's expression was unpleasant. In truth, she also wanted the Purple Lotus.

"Hehehe… I was the one who obtained the Purple Lotus. What? Do you want to snatch it away now?" Xiao Fan sneered, feeling angry and developing murderous intent.

The faces of these people were too much; they really thought he was easy to bully…

If it weren't for him, the Purple Lotus would never have been captured, even if Sha Mushi had acted herself.

"You… hand the Purple Lotus to me!" Sha Mushi hesitated for a moment, looked at Xiao Fan, and said in a deep voice, "Rest assured, after we leave the Ancient Burial Holy Land, you will definitely have a share of the Purple Lotus!"

Hearing this, the group of Sha Mushi's followers were all beaming with joy.

In that case, they would also have a share of the Purple Lotus later…

"Hehehe… Hand it to you? On what grounds?" Xiao Fan sneered, staring straight into Sha Mushi's eyes. "Have you forgotten the rules you set yourself? Whoever obtains a treasure or Opportunity, it belongs to them! I obtained the Purple Lotus by my own ability! Why should I give it to you? Why should I let you lot split it?!"

Hearing this, Sha Mushi was stunned and looked at Xiao Fan in disbelief.

Before Sha Mushi could speak, the others were all furious.

"Xiao Xuan, you are truly courting death!!"
