#373 - Each of them has their own ulterior motives

The Azurewave Demon Lord asked, "Big brother, how should we test it?"

The Thousand Transformations Demon Lord didn't speak, his mind constantly considering various feasible strategies.

The Azurewave Demon Lord and the Empty Valley Demon Lord didn't urge him from the side.

After about a quarter of an hour, the Thousand Transformations Demon Lord said, "Let's first send out the puppets we've each refined to try it out."

The Azurewave Demon Lord and the Empty Valley Demon Lord nodded. Then, the three of them took out puppets refined with various cruel methods from their respective spatial rings.

Three Dragon Gate realm puppets appeared before them, and the three of them used their divine sense to control the puppets, moving them forward little by little.

The reason for moving them so cautiously was entirely because if anything unexpected happened, the three of them could retrieve the puppets and escape in the shortest amount of time.

Dragon Gate realm puppets weren't like cabbages that you could get as many as you wanted.

First of all, refining a Dragon Gate realm puppet required killing a strong person whose cultivation had reached at least the early stage of the Dragon Gate realm.

When killing this strong person, it was also necessary to ensure that their corpse didn't suffer any major damage in the battle.

Minor injuries had no effect on puppet refinement, but if major injuries occurred, it would definitely have a very large impact on puppet refinement.

This would directly affect the power of the puppet after it was refined.

After doing this, it was also necessary to supplement it with various rare and exotic treasures, plus a long period of time, to have a chance of successful refinement.

This probability was about 30 to 40 percent. If luck was bad, refining a puppet often required killing three or four Dragon Gate realm experts.

After all of this was done, the refiner also needed to nourish it with their own blood essence for a long time to reach the point where they could control it as easily as their own limbs.

Therefore, a Dragon Gate realm puppet was definitely the most valuable thing they owned.

If the puppet was lost or something unexpected happened, the three of them would definitely feel heartache to the point of bleeding.

As the three puppets gradually moved forward, the bronze coffin remained motionless.

After about an hour, the three puppets came to stand beside the bronze coffin.

The Thousand Transformations Demon Lord and the other two, who were controlling the puppets, were now covered in sweat.

The distance from their position to the bronze coffin wasn't far, only about a few hundred meters.

A few hundred meters was a distance that Dragon Gate realm experts could reach with a lift of their feet.

But such a short distance was so long for the three of them at this time.

It was so long that it took an hour to control the puppets to arrive. Even ordinary people without any cultivation wouldn't take an hour to walk a few hundred meters.

There's a saying that the unknown is the most frightening thing for life.

This was even more true for the Thousand Transformations Demon Lord and the others, especially when they didn't know what exactly existed in the bronze coffin.

Seeing that all three puppets had arrived next to the bronze coffin and the bronze coffin still had no reaction.

The Thousand Transformations Demon Lord and the others couldn't help but relax a little.

The Azurewave Demon Lord said, "Big brother, the puppets have arrived next to the bronze coffin, what should we do next?"

The Thousand Transformations Demon Lord pondered for a moment and said, "Next, we'll control the puppets to take away this fragment above the bronze coffin, and then retreat quickly."

The Thousand Transformations Demon Lord's proposal was approved by the Azurewave Demon Lord and the Empty Valley Demon Lord, and the two said in unison, "Okay! Let's do it that way."

In the next second, the three of them controlled the puppets, and the hands of the three puppets were simultaneously placed on the fragment floating above the bronze coffin.

The three puppets grabbed the fragment and tried to pull the floating fragment away with all their strength.

But no matter how much force they used, the floating fragment remained unmoved.

The Thousand Transformations Demon Lord and the others couldn't help but use all their strength, but even under the full display of their strength, the floating fragment still didn't change at all.

Seeing this scene, the three of them were a little dumbfounded.

The Azurewave Demon Lord said, "Big brother, how could this be?"

The Thousand Transformations Demon Lord asked in confusion, "I don't know why, why is this happening?"

Just as the two were puzzled, the Empty Valley Demon Lord suddenly said:

"Big brother, second brother, do you think it's possible that the fragment cannot be moved because the puppets are inanimate objects?"

The Thousand Transformations Demon Lord heard the words of the Empty Valley Demon Lord and thought for a moment:

"There is a possibility of what the third brother said. In the relics we know, there have indeed been many such things happening."

The Azurewave Demon Lord echoed, "In my memory, it is indeed recorded that treasures that even puppets with the power of immortals cannot move were easily picked up by a mortal."

"The biggest difference between the two is the different nature of life. Puppets are inanimate objects, while humans are living things."

"Some relics do have clear restrictions on this point."

The words of the Empty Valley Demon Lord were recognized by the other two.

But then the three of them became a little worried.

The fragment was right in front of them, but who would go and take it?

Everyone knew that the person who went to take the fragment might encounter danger, and this danger was not as simple as serious injury.

Once an accident occurred, there was a high probability that it would be at the level of death and the dissipation of one's cultivation.

The three of them looked at each other, unwilling to be the first to take the lead.

In addition to the danger, the three of them also had a concern.

That was, if the person who took the lead really got the fragment, how would it be distributed?

The previously mentioned equal distribution was obviously unrealistic.

A quarter of an hour later...

The eldest, the Thousand Transformations Demon Lord, took the lead and said, "Now that things have come to this, it's better to make some things clear."

"Although the three of us are brothers, we need to take great risks to obtain such treasures."

"So I propose that the person who goes to get the treasure occupies 80% of it, and the remaining 20% is given to the other two."

What the Thousand Transformations Demon Lord said about occupying 80% referred to the fact that when melting and refining the treasure after obtaining the fragment, the person who took the risk would take 80% of the melted fragment.

Everyone knew that the more fragments there were when refining the treasure, the higher the level and power of the treasure that was refined.

The Azurewave Demon Lord and the Empty Valley Demon Lord didn't speak, and their little thoughts kept running.

Listening to the words of the Thousand Transformations Demon Lord, once the two of them agreed, the Thousand Transformations Demon Lord would definitely propose that he go and take the fragment.

If the Thousand Transformations Demon Lord really got the fragment, the two of them would definitely be unwilling to give up.

There were many incidents of people in the Demonic Path killing their fathers and teachers. Don't look at the fact that the three of them have been together for so long.

In the face of real interests, the feelings between the three of them were not worth mentioning!

The Azurewave Demon Lord and the Empty Valley Demon Lord looked at each other, seeing each other's thoughts in their eyes.

The two of them had already prepared to join forces to kill the Thousand Transformations Demon Lord and seize the fragment after the Thousand Transformations Demon Lord retrieved it.

The Azurewave Demon Lord and the Empty Valley Demon Lord said in unison, "We agree to big brother's proposal."

"As younger brothers, we will wait here for big brother to retrieve the fragment."

The Thousand Transformations Demon Lord saw the expressions of the two and his heart "thumped".

Being a member of the Demonic Path, how could the Thousand Transformations Demon Lord not understand the thoughts of the two?

For his own safety, the Thousand Transformations Demon Lord said, "Before taking this fragment, the three of us need to make an oath."

"If anyone dares to make a malicious move after the other party has obtained the fragment, they will suffer great pain day and night, and their cultivation will never be able to progress!"

After the Thousand Transformations Demon Lord finished speaking, the faces of the Azurewave Demon Lord and the Empty Valley Demon Lord were uncertain.

The Azurewave Demon Lord thought to himself, "This old monster still doesn't trust us. What's the use of getting that fragment even if we make such a poisonous oath!"

The Azurewave Demon Lord did not examine his own behavior. If the Thousand Transformations Demon Lord had not asked them to make this poisonous oath.

He would definitely have joined forces with the Empty Valley Demon Lord to kill the Thousand Transformations Demon Lord.

This is like a crow looking in the mirror, only seeing that others are black, not seeing that it is black itself.
