When taking the treasure, to avoid complications, the three naturally completed it at the fastest speed.

Soon after, the three finished collecting the treasure and almost simultaneously came out from the left, middle, and right routes, returning to the main hall.

As soon as they saw each other, the three naturally exchanged glances, their eyes meeting.

They wanted to discern the exact haul from each other’s eyes.

However, upon making eye contact, the three naturally showed long sighs and expressions full of helplessness, as if they all had terrible gains.

None could see through the truth and falsehood of each other.

Even though the expressions couldn’t be read for authenticity, there was still a vast difference in their moods.

Among them, the mood of Golden Stele True Monarch was truly terrible, extremely disappointed.

Because in the secret chamber on the left path where he was, there was only a small pile of Spirit Stones, and not many at that.

Having gone through a lot of trouble to reach the ruins, and joining forces to kick out those Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators, experiencing difficulties to enter this ruin’s main hall, Golden Stele True Monarch was naturally unwilling to settle for such meager gains.

So, with a twist of thought, he immediately came up with a plan.

He separately sent a voice transmission to True Monarch Cyan Bamboo and Spirit Creation True Monarch, proactively stating that his harvest was very unsatisfactory and he wanted to join forces with them to deal with the other, forcing the latter to hand over their chamber’s gains for the three to share equally.

Soon after the transmission, he received a reply from True Monarch Cyan Bamboo.

True Monarch Cyan Bamboo replied: Although his gains were also lousy, since the three had agreed prior to entering the chambers, he would accept it regardless of the poor outcome.

Spirit Creation True Monarch’s reply, however, was very different.

He directly agreed to Golden Stele True Monarch’s proposal.

Immediately, with two different responses, Golden Stele True Monarch had a clear idea of who had good gains and who had poor ones.

Then, he frankly told Spirit Creation True Monarch about his proposal to both of them at the same time.

Upon hearing this, Spirit Creation True Monarch also felt Golden Stele True Monarch’s actions were somewhat shameless.

However, he still decided to cooperate with Golden Stele True Monarch.

It was simply because his gains in the right path’s secret chamber were not great either.

Only three Tier Four Lower Grade Spirit Treasures, two of which were damaged.

He simply couldn’t believe that the main hall of the ruins that they went through so much to enter contained only a few broken Lower Grade Spirit Treasures and a few Spirit Stones.

The biggest gain was certainly in the middle path secret chamber that True Monarch Cyan Bamboo drew! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Immediately, the two of them joined forces and suddenly attacked True Monarch Cyan Bamboo.

Unfortunately, True Monarch Cyan Bamboo was prepared for this, and upon sensing their intention to act, directly used an Escape Technique to flee from the main hall.

Seeing this, Golden Stele True Monarch and Spirit Creation True Monarch, naturally unwilling, immediately used their Escape Techniques to give chase.

The three, with one escaping and two pursuing, rushed out of the ruins from the main hall, and then from the ruins to Sea Bamboo Island.

Until True Monarch Cyan Bamboo entered the Cyan Bamboo Sect and had someone activate the Sect Protection Array, resulting in the current standoff.

Logically speaking, if True Monarch Cyan Bamboo wanted to protect himself and the Cyan Bamboo Sect, besides agreeing to the demands of Golden Stele True Monarch and Spirit Creation True Monarch, there was no better way.

However, True Monarch Cyan Bamboo, currently deep in thought, remembered what a Core Formation Elder had just said, and firmly said: "You two better give up; the items I obtained in the middle path’s secret chamber, even if given away for nothing, will not be handed over to you two."
