Chapter 2524 Darkness, Really Darkness

Seeing Old Zhao so calm and collected, as if nothing had happened, the five celestial officials were all dumbfounded.

He had previously thought that, given Zhao Lao's personality, he would definitely forcibly withhold a few extraterrestrial demon ingredients so that he could secretly treat himself to a snack when he felt hungry.

Originally, all five of them had already accepted the outcome, since the other party was a higher-ranking official and had more power.

Unexpectedly, Old Zhao was so ruthless that he only brought out seven extraterrestrial demon ingredients in the end.

He kept more than half of the ingredients?

Does that mean that in the end, when you're having a feast, you take the lion's share, and then the smaller portion is distributed among everyone else?

And what about that demon god ingredient?

One of the celestial officials couldn't help but ask.

"Old Zhao, where is that demon god ingredient?"

None of them had ever tasted demon god ingredients before, and everyone wanted to try them. Moreover, ingredients of this level were extremely rare, and it was a stroke of incredible luck that they had stumbled upon them this time.

But to everyone's surprise, when faced with this person's question, Old Zhao replied with a suspicious look without even thinking.

"Demon God ingredients? What demon god ingredients? I didn't see any demon gods when I came here, only these seven ingredients."

Ok? ? ?

Seeing that Elder Zhao spoke so bluntly, the five celestial officials fell silent. "Have you no shame?" they thought.

They can let go of everything else, you can take the lion's share if you want, but this demon god ingredient is something no one has ever eaten before, and you want to monopolize it?

In any case, the five celestial officials were unwilling to let go of this demon god ingredient.

I'm curious and I value this because I've never eaten it before. Can this thing be compared to ordinary ingredients from extraterrestrial demons?

Faced with such a strong temptation, the five celestial officials gritted their teeth, stamped their feet, and said...

"Old Zhao, you can take the other ingredients from the extraterrestrial demons, but this ingredient from the demon god is something no one else has ever tasted. It's a bit too much for you to take it all for yourself this time."

They're really stubborn.

However, as a Heavenly Official and the strongest in the world, he is definitely different from ordinary Heavenly Palace members, and he has more confidence when facing Elder Zhao.

However, Mr. Zhao reiterated his previous statement: "I didn't see anything."

He even frowned, looking furious as if he had been wronged.

"You're framing me? Are you trying to slander me?"

"I……………………………"

"Old Zhao, given the current situation, do we really need to slander you? Everyone can see clearly."

"Are you saying that I've monopolized all those ingredients?"

"No, Elder Zhao, you can just give up the demon god ingredient, and you can take everything else, we..."

"Hmph, I'll say it one last time: I didn't see any demon god ingredients, only these seven extraterrestrial demon ingredients."

Old Zhao didn't give anyone a chance to speak again; after saying that, he left directly.

When he was alone, Old Zhao grinned and said, "This good stuff, how could I share it with you? I don't even have enough for myself."

Demon God ingredients, huh? I wonder what they taste like. I'll find a chance to have a good taste test with Ye Xiaozhi sometime.

The five celestial officials were dumbfounded as they watched Zhao Lao leave without any regard for reason once again.

They exchanged a glance, and someone asked.

"What should we do now?"

"What else can we do? I knew Old Zhao was ruthless, but I never imagined a person's heart could be this black."

"Forget about that demon god ingredient. With Old Zhao's personality, once something is in his pocket, he will never take it out again."

"Alright, what's the point of saying all this now? Let's talk about us."

"us?"

"That's right, there are still seven extraterrestrial demon ingredients here. The rest were all taken by Elder Zhao. Should we each take one?"

Ok? ? ?

Old Zhao took the lion's share and left. So, when it comes to seniority, will it be the turn of the five of them?

After all, apart from Elder Zhao, the five of them were the highest in status and the strongest in strength among those present.

As they listened to the conversation of the five people, the others around them felt increasingly uneasy.

You guys aren't with us, are you?

They were moved when they saw the five celestial officials questioning Elder Zhao, thinking that someone would finally stand up for them.

But now, listening to the conversation between the five people, everyone felt that something was increasingly off.

Old Zhao took the lion's share, leaving them only seven extraterrestrial demon ingredients. Now, do you still want more?

If each person gets one head, then in the end there will only be two heads left! What will we eat then?

I had thought this person was ruthless, but I never imagined they could be this ruthless.

You guys are all birds of a feather, each one darker than the last.

"My lord, are these five extraterrestrial demon ingredients......?"

The Immortal Ancestor Realm expert who was originally in charge of this immortal ship had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak up as the situation became increasingly unfavorable.

These five celestial officials are talking back and forth. If they keep talking, the ingredients will run out. What will they eat then?

So all I can do is voice my opposition: you guys better hold back and leave us some soup!

Before the Immortal Venerable Realm expert could finish speaking, one of the Heavenly Officials reacted the fastest, raising his hand to directly store a demon from beyond the realm into his spatial ring.

He then turned around and replied with an innocent look on his face.

"What headless extraterrestrial demon ingredients? I don't understand what you're talking about."

This sudden action completely stunned the Immortal Venerable Realm expert, leaving him frozen in place, as if struck by lightning.

Is it really possible for someone to do something so shameless?

In broad daylight, under the watchful eyes of everyone, how could you do such a thing?

"No, sir, we saw the ingredients, you...you...you..."

I was so shocked I couldn't even speak. How thick-skinned do you have to be to do something like that?

That extraterrestrial demon ingredient was lying quietly and peacefully in front of me just a second ago.

You accepted it in front of so many people, and now you're asking me what I mean? I'm speechless.

Faced with this powerful Immortal Venerable Realm expert and the human cultivators covering the deck, this Heavenly Official fully demonstrated what it means to feign ignorance.

Don't ask. The answer is always the same: extraterrestrial demon ingredients? Where were they just now? Aren't there just this many now?

I didn't bring any ingredients, I don't know.

In short, there's no way to prove anything since the dead are dead, as for searching the spatial ring.

Just kidding. With Elder Zhao absent and without giving a word, who among those present would dare to search the spatial ring of a Heavenly Official-level figure?

That's definitely courting death.

So, there's nothing you can do when faced with a shameless superior. They just won't admit it, and you don't have any evidence.

Silence fell; for a moment, everyone on the deck was silent.

In this strange atmosphere, the second celestial official suddenly turned around, inwardly admiring him; this maneuver was truly impressive.

At the same time, his hands were not slow at all. A faint light flashed from the spatial ring, and another extraterrestrial demon ingredient disappeared without a trace.
