Chapter 288 Distributing the Spoils

No! Suddenly, Li Xiaotian's heart felt a doubt. As Gu Qing had said, before the ancient times, it was a struggle between the human and demon races, and so was the ancient times.

But if that were the case, the existence of the Sea of Blood would be rather peculiar. Why was the ancient Sea of Blood sealed?

Furthermore, when the seal of the Sea of Blood was broken, over a dozen peerless experts, including the Bronze Ancient Coffin, descended. However, when the demon beasts fully revived, those peerless experts made no move.

It wasn't until this time, when the Tian family summoned their ancestor Qiong to return, that the Bronze Ancient Coffin made its move, killing Qiong with a single sword.

Li Xiaotian's eyes flickered. If he were a peerless expert, he would definitely eliminate the greatest threat in case of a major change, followed by the next greatest, or even ignore it.

This meant that the Sea of Blood was the greatest threat, requiring the experts of the Bronze Ancient Coffin to jointly deter it. Next was the revived Qiong, and it was only when the Bronze Ancient Coffin acted, while the demon beasts revived, that no peerless experts made a move.

Could it be that in the eyes of the experts of the Bronze Ancient Coffin, the revival of the demon beasts was a trivial matter with no threat, and that's why no one paid attention?

Li Xiaotian looked deeply at Gu Qing. The words of the other party were full of loopholes. The greatest threat, the Sea of Blood, was glossed over, while the focus was on the grievances between the demon race and the human race.

Moreover, there was another important point: Gu Qing had never mentioned where those missing invincible experts had gone from beginning to end.

It seemed that in ancient times, invincible experts rarely appeared.

Perhaps the other party didn't know the truth. Li Xiaotian guessed, or perhaps he was overthinking. The revival of demon beasts alone was already a great headache for the human race. If another threat greater than the demon race appeared, the future of the human race would be extremely difficult.

It was too complicated, Li Xiaotian thought. He decided not to ponder further. His priority now was to improve his strength. As for the truth of other matters, he would deal with them when he became powerful.

With that in mind, Li Xiaotian prepared to leave with his daughter. After rescuing her, he had to dote on her.

"Little friend Xiaotian, are you preparing to leave?"

Just as Li Xiaotian was about to leave, Dao Xuan Daoist's voice reached his ears.

Li Xiaotian turned around upon hearing this, then nodded slightly and said.

"Senior, the matter here is finished, and it's time for me to leave. I am very grateful for the help of you seniors this time, otherwise, I would have been in great danger today."

"Heh heh, little friend, you are too polite. Speaking of which, it is we, the people of ancient times, who should thank you. If you hadn't notified us, we wouldn't have known that the Tian family committed such cruel deeds."

Dao Xuan Daoist said with a smile, then fell silent for a moment. Regarding the Tian family's matter this time, Li Xiaotian could be said to have made the greatest contribution. If he hadn't spread the news of this place, no one would have known what the Tian family had done.

If the Tian family's conspiracy had succeeded and Qiong had returned in his prime, it would have brought disaster to the human race.

"Indeed, little friend. My Ancient Village owes you a favor. Invincible descendants are already rare. By exposing the Tian family this time, you have not only saved so many invincible descendants, but also allowed us to detect some traces of the demise of those invincible families from ancient times."

Gu Qing spoke with sincere words. Invincible descendants were truly too few by now. Even with those imprisoned by the Tian family, the total was less than two thousand people.

Moreover, the Tian family's affairs made him think of many things. The demise of some invincible families in ancient times might be related to them being invincible descendants. He suspected that there were other forces like the Tian family.

"Little friend Li, if you need anything in the future, you can come to Ancient Village. We, the invincible descendants, will surely welcome you with open arms."

Gu Qing's words surprised everyone around. This was a gesture of support for Li Xiaotian.

They knew that although peace had reigned recently, the changes in the capital city were observed by them every day.

They all knew that once Great Qin became powerful, it would inevitably reclaim the entire territory of Great Qin, which would put the revitalized forces that had occupied Great Qin's territory in an awkward position.

"Two seniors, this is all I should do. Although I, Li Xiaotian, did not experience your era, I am still a human. The Tian family's actions, I believe anyone who discovered them would have made them public. I am just doing what a person should do."

Li Xiaotian said humbly.

"I'm afraid that even if others discovered the Tian family's conspiracy, they wouldn't have made the same decision as you."

Jian Chen spoke, his voice cold, as if alluding to something.

Everyone present was slightly stunned, but then they all understood. The most complicated thing in this world was the human heart. All others who discovered the Tian family's secret might have made the same choice as Li Xiaotian, or they might have chosen to remain silent.

After all, this would be equivalent to indirectly holding the Tian family by the scruff of their neck, allowing them to blackmail the Tian family for their own selfish gain.

The human race today was no longer as pure as it was in ancient times.

"How about this, little friend Li, don't rush to leave. The Tian family is destroyed, but their assets remain. Today, everyone traveled thousands of miles to crusade against the Tian family, and they should at least have some gains."

Dao Xuan Daoist spoke. He had just inspected the Tian family's assets and was astonished.

The assets of a small Tian family were almost comparable to those of a hegemon-level force.

Two Heavenly Weapons, an underground palace built with Xuan Iron, countless ancient spiritual fruits and rare herbs, and even some spiritual medicines that could only be born in the void.

Upon hearing Dao Xuan Daoist's words, the eyes of the others present flickered, and their faces showed joy. Although they had not expected to receive any reward before coming, being able to gain something was not in vain.

"Everyone, shall I, this old Daoist, decide how to distribute the Tian family's assets?"

Dao Xuan Daoist spoke, looking at everyone present.

"Dao Xuan Daoist, please decide. We have no objections."

Everyone spoke one after another. The Daoist sect was a hegemon-level force, but in ancient times, it was the most amiable sect among the hegemon-level forces. Therefore, no one had any objections to Dao Xuan making the decision.

"Very well." Dao Xuan nodded, then waved his hand, and two Heavenly Weapons hung in the air. He looked at Li Xiaotian and said.

"Little friend Li, you have made a great contribution to our human race this time. You deserve a share of the Tian family's two Heavenly Weapons."

"These two Heavenly Weapons are both low-grade Heavenly Weapons, and I have already erased the imprints on them. You can choose either one."

Li Xiaotian was surprised, but more so excited. Heavenly Weapons, although he already had the Demon Sword, it could not be used at any time, with too many restrictions, and did not increase his strength much.

But if he obtained another Heavenly Weapon, especially in a scene like today, he could use it without regard for the occasion in the future.

Moreover, even in a desperate situation where he had to use the Demon Sword, having another Heavenly Weapon as a cover would be much more convenient.

Li Xiaotian looked over. One was a spear, and the other was a saber. Which one was more suitable for him?
