Chapter 365: The Puppet Master

Inside the flying treasure, the spoils were quickly counted.

The astonishing figures led the high-end combatants of the Black Tiger Tribe to erupt in excited cheers once again.

All of it was resources and treasures at the level of Low-grade Immortal Stones and immortal materials.

The total value reached nearly one hundred million Low-grade Immortal Stones, exceeding the total assets of the Nika Tribe and Tek Tribe combined.

“Truly worthy of the Swift Tribe noble’s treasure vault; even if the majority is in the noble’s own possession, even if we only seized a portion of high-quality resources and treasures, the total value surpasses all the resources and treasures of our tribe.”

“The Swift Tribe will surely go mad upon losing so many resources and treasures.”

“If we raid again… just thinking about their expressions brings me immense joy.”

“Can you believe we, the Black Tiger Tribe, actually raided the treasure vault of a Swift Tribe noble? If this gets out, no one will dare to believe it.”

All the Black Tiger Tribe’s high-end combatants couldn’t help but direct their gazes toward Yi Chen on the Throne.

They harbored a silent expectation, hoping to receive a portion of the high-quality resources and treasures.

No matter how ruthless this ally leader might be, he wouldn’t keep all the benefits for himself.

After all, this raid had not only depended on the powerful flying treasure and detailed information, but these high-end combatants from the Black Tiger Tribe were also the main force in executing the plan; they had put in considerable effort.

“Your Majesty, how should we distribute these spoils?”

Guli, clearly aware of the thoughts of the Black Tiger Tribe’s high-end combatants, hesitated for a moment but couldn’t resist asking.

“The spoils will be distributed according to the contributions of the Black Tiger Tribe. We will prioritize selecting spirit mines and immortal mines that are easier to comprehend the principles of heaven and earth, followed by immortal stones; the rest is not important.”

Yi Chen replied.

“Yes!”

Guli nodded.

Buzz!

More than three thousand high-end combatants of the Black Tiger Tribe erupted in excitement.

They were going to be distributed according to contributions!

They had thought the leader would take the lion’s share and at most give the Black Tiger Tribe a sip of soup.

Even a sip of soup would satisfy them under such substantial profits.

They never expected this leader to be so generous and fair, willing to distribute corresponding benefits to the Black Tiger Tribe based on their contributions.

Furthermore, they would prioritize selecting spirit mines, immortal mines, and immortal stones that could enhance their understanding of the principles of heaven and earth.

This meant that those spirit materials and immortal materials that could improve talents and strength realms would similarly be distributed to the Black Tiger Tribe according to their contributions.

Despite being ruthless when faced with a challenge—directly smashing one high-ranking member of the Black Tiger Tribe to bits for merely rebutting him—this leader was undeniably generous in terms of profit distribution.

He didn’t treat the Black Tiger Tribe as unimportant as they had previously thought.

They couldn’t help but sigh again, realizing that the high-ranking member who had spoken out earlier had died unjustly, missing out on the glory of raiding the Crane King’s treasure vault, as well as the various high-quality resources and treasures that were about to be theirs.

“Then let’s allocate forty percent to the Black Tiger Tribe. Do you have any objections, chief?”

Guli understood Yi Chen’s intention and promptly looked at Chief Nika.

"Is it, is it too much? Without the information and the flying treasure provided by the master, we wouldn’t have been successful at all," she expressed.

Chief Nika quickly shook his head.

"It’s decided! Everyone, stay put and cultivate while we wait for news!"

Guli, tired of pleasantries with Chief Nika, directly issued a new command.

Swoosh!

All the high-end combatants of the Black Tiger Tribe immediately fell silent and began to cultivate.

Guli’s order was more effective than Chief Nika’s.

The reason was simple; this captain was as generous as the ally leader, offering contributions that exceeded expectations to the Black Tiger Tribe.

With enough benefits, they were naturally willing to serve and obey commands.

Moreover, Guli’s first raid plan had been a complete success, and she had gained considerable prestige in front of the Black Tiger Tribe.

Soon, everyone entered a state of cultivation, awaiting the next opportunity for a surprise attack.

…

Above the Crane King’s palace.

After searching for three or four hours, Hillic returned in disappointment.

His Perception Ability also failed to detect the existence of that flying treasure.

The group of unknown Black Tiger Tribe members had most likely escaped from Fengmang planet.

Continuing the search would be pointless.

This left him with a tremendous headache.

A group of Black Tiger Tribe members had stormed into the treasure vault and stolen a large amount of high-quality resources and treasures.

Even his status couldn’t help but invite a heap of scolding.

Helpless, he took out a communication stone to contact the Crane King, who was cultivating on the Deserted Star.

"They broke into the treasure vault and stole a large amount of high-quality resources and treasures?"

After hearing the news, the Crane King became furious: "The Black Tiger Tribe can’t possibly make such a flying treasure that can block Perception Ability and is so fast. It must be Lord Kedun; his coliseum has slaves from the Black Tiger Tribe who have successfully overcome their tribulations. Only Lord Kedun could have such a powerful flying treasure."

"I contacted a friend from Lord Kedun’s coliseum, and he confirmed that the slaves who successfully overcame their tribulations were still in the coliseum at that time…"

Hillic said with a hint of defeat.

The Crane King frowned.

He couldn’t believe that a group of Black Tiger Tribe members would dare to travel a long distance to the blood-colored planet and rob the Swift Tribe.

Moreover, they were raiding the treasure vault of a Swift Tribe noble.

In such circumstances, even if the Black Tiger Tribe had its peak strength, with a level 140 top powerhouse present, they had never attempted anything like this, not even against the Undying Race.

Let alone the Black Tiger Tribe, which was now severely weakened and disorganized, fragmented into countless tribes.

In his view, it was very likely that a certain noble had organized a faction of Black Tiger Tribe members to create a diversion.

The question remained: which noble had summoned this group of Black Tiger Tribe members?

If it was Lord Kedun, he would have nothing else to say and would simply consider himself unlucky.

As for the other four nobles, he needed enough evidence before he could proceed.

Otherwise, approaching them without proof would only bring trouble upon himself.

This was because among the six nobles of Fengmang planet, he was the weakest and had the least influence.

"I will arrange for people to investigate this matter, and block the news from spreading. Additionally, inform the high-end combatants to prepare. After we return, we will set off for the Black Tiger Tribe’s territory to plunder resources and treasures."

The Crane King reluctantly made the arrangements.

He felt that discovering which noble was behind this might be possible, but obtaining evidence would be much less likely.

He needed to recover these losses from the Black Tiger Tribe.

"Understood!"

Hillic quickly responded.

After ending the call, he secretly sighed in relief.

Fortunately, the Crane King had judged that it was the work of that noble and had not placed the blame on him.

After all, with a noble backing him, and facing a premeditated attack, it was only normal to be robbed.

He immediately conveyed Crane King’s orders.

After hesitating for a moment, he reinforced the palace with a group of high-end combatants, then concealed himself deep within the palace, ready to guard against any return attack from the Black Tiger Tribe pirates.

After three silent days, he confirmed that these Black Tiger Tribe pirates had completely left.

He immediately returned to his cultivating area.

In that deep mountainous region, there were sharp, ice-like winds assisting in cultivation. Although it was not as good as the Deserted Star where the Crane King and another powerful warrior were located, it was still better than the training environment of the palace.
