This guy is difficult.

"Yan Fa bows in thanks to Young Master Su!"

Yaochi Yanfa did not take the sea of the sky directly; instead, he knelt on both knees and bowed solemnly.

"We bow in thanks to Young Master Su, thank you for your great kindness!"

Yaochi Hongxi and the other four Martial Saints also knelt and kowtowed to express their gratitude.

"Enough, it was just a fair trade."

Su Lang waved his hand indifferently. "I'm handing this sea of the sky over to you, and I won't be returning the remaining Materials."

"Young Master Su, you refined the sea of the sky; how could there be many Materials left?"

"Moreover, you even exploded your saint cauldron to refine the sea of the sky for us. That loss cannot be compensated for by those Materials at all!"

Yaochi Yanfa looked up and, with deep gratitude, handed over a space ring. "Yan Fa is willing to offer most of my fortune to Young Master Su. Only by doing so can I feel at ease. Please, Young Master Su, do not look down on it for being too little!"

"We are as well!"

"Please, Young Master Su, you must accept it!"

Yaochi Hongxi and the other four Martial Saints also brought out space rings, handing them to Su Lang with tearful eyes.

Seeing that their Old Ancestor had knelt to Su Lang, the members of the Yaochi Clan below all knelt down in a wave.

The sea of people instantly became a head shorter!

Seeing this scene, Su Lang was laughing with joy in his heart!

Refining the sea of the sky did indeed consume many Materials, but it was nowhere near as many as Yaochi Yanfa and the others imagined.

It could even be said to be very few.

Su Lang had only spent about one-fifth of the Materials obtained from the Yaochi Sacred Clan's secret treasury.

Besides the ordinary Materials, he only used twelve precious martial god souls, leaving seventeen. Ten of those were used to evolve the you tian sword, leaving seven remaining.

As for those two martial saint souls, not a single one was used; they were currently lying perfectly fine within his Storage Space!

As for the exploded saint cauldron?

As mentioned before, it had been decomposed to refine the 'Cangjing Mingyue' Formation Pen; he hadn't lost so much as a single hair.

One could say that Su Lang really made a huge profit this time.

However, since Yaochi Yanfa and the others insisted on compensating him, it wouldn't be right to refuse. Hehe.

"Since you are so insistent, I will accept them."

Su Lang smiled faintly and reached out to take the rings offered by the five Yaochi Saints. "All of you, please get up. You're making me quite embarrassed."

"We really cannot thank Young Master Su enough!"

Yaochi Yanfa said gratefully, "The sea of the sky will be the foundation of the Yaochi Clan's survival, and even more so, the Opportunity for our race to grow strong and strive toward becoming an Immortal Clan!"

"Striving to become an Immortal Clan is not that simple."

Chu Xiaobei smiled and handed the sea of the sky to Yaochi Yanfa. "However, having ambition is always a good thing."

"Thank you for the encouragement, Miss Chu!"

Yaochi Yanfa nodded excitedly, then wiped his hands and reached out to receive the sea of the sky.

This was the moment the sea of the sky was officially handed over.

Countless gazes fell upon the sea of the sky.

And right at that moment.

"Hahahaha!"

A burst of wild laughter rang out, the sound unrestrained and piercing through heaven and earth!

"Who is it!?"

The expressions of countless people changed drastically as they all looked toward the source of the sound.

The expressions of Su Lang, Chu Xiaobei, Yaochi Yanfa, and the other four saints also changed suddenly as they looked toward the sound.

At the horizon where heaven and earth met, a person walked against the light, carrying an endless aura of power. Wherever he passed, the Void Realm trembled and light distorted!

"I didn't expect that coming to investigate the destruction of a tiny branch would yield such a great harvest!"

"A quasi-immortal artifact! A weapon that even ordinary Martial Immortals would covet! Hahahaha, my luck is truly too good!"

The figure let out a maniacal laugh as he drew closer, revealing his true appearance.

This person had a pair of hawk-like eyes, a wild and arrogant expression, and was dressed in clothes that were black with a reddish tint.

From a great distance, Su Lang could smell the terrifying scent of blood coming from him.

The reason the clothes were black with a reddish tint was that they had been dyed red by endless blood!

"He's from the Lutian Tower!"

"And his cultivation is at the Quasi-Immortal Realm!!"

Yaochi Yanfa's eyes widened, revealing deep terror.

Yaochi Hongxi and the others also felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their entire bodies turning cold!

"This person… is going to be troublesome!"

Su Lang narrowed his eyes and brought up the attribute panel of that black-clad madman.
