Chapter 264 Three-Player Game
"Hahaha... Fellow Daoist Ji Rong, you've misunderstood me. My ancestor did indeed predict that the opening of this secret realm would contain great opportunities, but he had no clue what kind of opportunities they were, and he certainly didn't expect them to be so amazing!" Sima Kun laughed and quickly explained.
Ji Rong narrowed his eyes slightly, but said nothing more. Clearly, both the Sima and Xuanyuan families had come prepared, and the most crucial thing now was how to secure a place for the Ji family in this upcoming struggle for opportunity.
Seeing that the two men each harbored their own ulterior motives and their faces were ashen, Xuan Yuanba understood that now that these two families had arrived, it was no longer possible for them to monopolize the opportunities of the Ancient Profound Dao Field.
However, he knew that he could not back down at this moment, otherwise these two would take advantage of him.
Thinking of this, his expression hardened, and he took a step forward, his spiritual power surging like raging waves. He coldly said, "Sima Kun, Ji Rong, this Ancient Profound Dao Arena is something my Xuanyuan family has been planning for many years. We are determined to obtain the opportunities within! How dare you lay a finger on it?"
Upon hearing this, Sima Kun's smile vanished, and he retorted without backing down, "Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan, isn't your appetite a bit too big? Are you so confident that you can handle the combined forces of my Sima family and the Ji family? In this secret realm, the strong are respected, and opportunities should naturally be claimed by the capable. What merit does your Xuanyuan family have to try to monopolize them?"
Sima Kun stood atop the Sifang Beast Cauldron with his arms crossed, his eyes revealing a ruthless and greedy look.
Beside him, two powerful figures had appeared silently without his noticing. Their eyes were deep and unfathomable, and they exuded a restrained yet powerful aura.
Clearly, three Nascent Soul cultivators had infiltrated the Sima family's trip to the secret realm.
Although this secret realm would forcibly eliminate Nascent Soul cultivators once they sensed their presence, Nascent Soul cultivators still represented a powerful force, and their methods were far beyond those of Golden Core cultivators.
Even if they cannot reveal the aura of Nascent Soul cultivators, they still possess a level of confidence in this secret realm that far surpasses that of Golden Core cultivators, thanks to the divine sense and adaptability they have accumulated over many years of cultivation, as well as the powerful magic treasures in their hands.
At this moment, Ji Rong stood on the Demon Suppression Tower, feeling like a million grass mud horses were galloping through his mind, and secretly groaned in despair.
On the Ji family's side, there's only one Nascent Soul cultivator, while the Sima family suddenly has two more.
The Xuanyuan family also has three Nascent Soul cultivators.
Damn, we were too honest on our side!
But he quickly forced himself to calm down. No matter what, he had to get into the Ancient Xuan Dao Arena first! Fortunately, neither the Sima nor the Xuanyuan families knew the true situation on his side.
Thinking of this, Ji Rongqiang suppressed his unease and said, "Gentlemen, please calm down. This Ancient Profound Daoist Temple has never been discovered before, and there are countless opportunities within it. It is not something that one family can completely control. If the three of us really fight each other, none of us will be able to escape unscathed. Why don't we discuss this calmly? What do you two think?"
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Ba frowned, his eyes shifting back and forth between Sima Kun and Ji Rong, as if weighing the pros and cons.
Ji Rong's words were simply giving him a way out.
After a moment, Xuanyuan Ba sighed and feigned helplessness, saying, "Alright, alright, since Fellow Daoist Ji Rong has put it that way, I, Xuanyuan Ba, am not an unreasonable person. However, this Ancient Profound Dao Field was discovered by my Xuanyuan family, so after entering the field, my Xuanyuan family will have priority to choose one treasure. Do your two families agree?"
Upon hearing this, Sima Kun's face instantly darkened, and he retorted without any politeness, "Xuanyuan Ba, you've really got a clever plan! Although there are countless treasures in this Ancient Xuan Dao Arena, if you were to choose the best one, wouldn't our two families have worked for nothing?"
Ji Rong inwardly cried out in alarm, but quickly tried to smooth things over with a forced smile: "Gentlemen, please don't get worked up. In my opinion, Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan Ba's request to choose one treasure first is perfectly reasonable. Fellow Daoist Sima, please don't be angry either. The Xuanyuan family has made a great contribution to the discovery of the Ancient Xuan Dao Field and deserves to be rewarded. Moreover, the Ancient Xuan Dao Field is full of opportunities, and what is chosen may not necessarily be the best!"
Upon hearing this, Sima Kun frowned, his face full of reluctance: "Ji Rong, you make it sound so easy. What if he chooses a crucial treasure, affecting our subsequent exploration?"
Ji Rong smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Fellow Daoist Sima, don't worry. We can make an agreement with Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan Ba first. The treasure we choose first cannot hinder our subsequent exploration. Otherwise, both of our families will break the cooperation agreement and join forces to deal with Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan. What do you think?"
After Ji Rong finished speaking, his eyes darted between the two men, observing their reactions...
