“Ha ha, my intentions are simple. If Hall Master Four agrees to split this treasure with me, then I’ll keep today’s events to myself. Only the heavens, the earth, you, and I will know,” Sun Tieshan replied with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Sun Rui couldn’t help but curse inwardly, “This old fox!”
He had spent half a day stalking that kid to finally obtain the treasure, and now Sun Tieshan wanted half of it upon meeting!
Sun Rui gritted his teeth in hatred, but he knew he had no other choice. If Sun Tieshan reported this to the family, he wouldn’t even get a hair of the treasure and would likely be punished instead.
“No choice, I have to agree to his terms.”
Sun Rui made up his mind and forced a smile. “Hall Master Three, are you serious? You won’t report me?”
“Of course, I swear on my Heart Demon,” Sun Tieshan’s eyes gleamed with greed.
Seeing no other way out, Sun Rui reluctantly took out the two eggs from his pocket and placed them on the table.
As soon as Sun Tieshan saw the two eggs, his eyes sparkled. With his experience and knowledge, he could tell these were no ordinary items.
“Hall Master Four, where did you get these two eggs?” Sun Tieshan asked eagerly.
“From a young boy…”
Sun Rui briefly recounted the events. Hearing this, Sun Tieshan’s eyes shone even brighter. A boy with a Condensing Origin Realm fifth-level cultivation could kill someone at the eighth-level, crossing three levels to defeat his enemy. If Sun Rui hadn’t described it so vividly, he wouldn’t have believed it.
“If that boy said his extraordinary combat power came from this treasure, then I suspect this is no ordinary item. Hall Master Four, we might just soar to great heights with this,” Sun Tieshan’s voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement.
“Hall Master Three, with your vast experience, do you recognize what this treasure is?” Sun Rui asked.
“No, I don’t,” Sun Tieshan shook his head, puzzled. Despite his extensive travels, he had never seen such a treasure.
“Although I don’t know what it is, it seems to contain a powerful life force. I’ve never seen a treasure emit such a strong life force. This is definitely no ordinary item,” Sun Tieshan said resolutely, his eyes still burning with fervor as he looked at the eggs.
“In that case, Hall Master Three, let’s each take one,” Sun Rui said, knowing he had no choice but to give one to Sun Tieshan. Though it pained him, at least he could keep one for himself.
“Ha ha ha, Hall Master Four, our days of glory are just around the corner,” Sun Tieshan laughed heartily, putting one egg into his pocket. If luck was on his side, he might use this treasure to break through to the Transforming Realm, truly soaring to new heights.
Sun Rui also smiled as he put away the other egg. No matter what, at least he had managed to keep one, which was enough to make him happy.
However…
Just as the two were celebrating in the tent…
Roar…
A thunderous roar suddenly erupted from deep within the valley.
The roar was earth-shattering, filled with a tearing emotion, as if containing extreme anger. In an instant, it echoed through most of the Skywind Mountains.
“What’s going on?”
The two were startled and stood up immediately.
“Could it be that the boy angered the Thunder Beast in the valley?” Sun Tieshan frowned.
“Whatever it is, gather everyone and leave the Skywind Mountains immediately!” Sun Rui said, quickly stepping out of the tent and ordering his men to gather all the Sun Family members.
Soon, all the Sun Family members gathered in front of the tent, ready to leave the Skywind Mountains.
Roar… Roar…
At this moment, the roars from the valley grew increasingly violent. Along with the continuous roars, waves of air blasted out from the valley, slamming into everyone’s faces like tidal waves.
“Quickly, go!”
Sun Tieshan and Sun Rui urged everyone to leave the tent and head out of the Skywind Mountains as fast as possible.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thunderous sounds echoed continuously, with waves of air crashing one after another, as if a series of explosions were happening. The airwaves kept hitting everyone’s backs, causing many to be knocked over, only to struggle back up and continue running.
The Thunder Beast’s furious roars grew louder and louder, showing no sign of stopping, and instead getting closer, the sheer volume assaulting everyone’s eardrums.
“Something’s wrong. It feels like the Thunder Beast is coming after us,” Sun Tieshan said, frowning as he ran.
“I think so too. The roars seem to be getting closer,” Sun Rui’s face was pale.
As if to confirm their words, the Thunder Beast’s figure soon appeared not far behind the Sun Family members.
Boom! Boom!
The Thunder Beast’s steps shook the ground, rapidly closing in on the Sun Family members.
“Oh my god, the Thunder Beast is really chasing us. How is this possible? We didn’t provoke it at all,” someone exclaimed in panic.
“Yes, we’ve always stayed outside the valley, never crossing paths with the Thunder Beast. Why is it chasing us?” The Sun Family members were in chaos, using all their strength to flee.
But they were only Condensing Origin Realm martial practitioners. How could they outrun a half-step Transforming Realm monster beast?
In just a few breaths, the Thunder Beast was only a few yards away.
Boom!
The Thunder Beast spewed a pillar of flame from its mouth, hitting the Sun Family martial practitioners who lagged behind.
Ahhh!
Screams filled the air as a dozen Sun Family martial practitioners were incinerated into ashes on the spot.
“Thunder Beast, why are you chasing us? Our Sun Family has always stayed out of your way!” Sun Rui shouted in shock and anger. Had the Thunder Beast gone mad?
“Thunder Beast, we haven’t offended you. Why are you suddenly attacking our Sun Family?” Sun Tieshan stepped forward, standing alongside Sun Rui. The two unleashed their Condensing Origin Realm tenth-level auras, temporarily holding off the Thunder Beast’s pressure.
The Thunder Beast’s fiery eyes glared at Sun Tieshan and Sun Rui. It opened its mouth, unleashing a series of roars like thunder, shaking everyone’s eardrums and seemingly filled with endless rage.
However, Sun Tieshan and Sun Rui were bewildered. They couldn’t understand the beast’s language and had no idea why the Thunder Beast was so furious.
