The words fell.

Except for Jiang Wei.

Wei Banmeng, Chu Kuanglan, and Lu Jiuyuan, although their auras had not yet fully calmed and their faces still bore the fatigue of battle,

when they saw the movements of Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei, they immediately stood up, supporting themselves with their bodies, without any extra questions.

Just as Fang Qingyu and the others were about to step away from this blood-soaked and chaotic place,

a hand, stained with blood and dirt, suddenly reached over.

The hand held a bulging tactical bag made of Life Ghost Skin.

Fang Qingyu paused slightly in his steps and looked up.

It was that tall and thin young man, his complexion still pale at this moment, but his eyes bore a kind of awkward determination.

He avoided Fang Qingyu's gaze, his line of sight falling on the pile of Life Ghost remains beside him, and spoke with a somewhat stiff voice: "Take it."

Fang Qingyu didn't move.

Seeing that he didn't take it, the tall and thin young man's brows furrowed tighter, his face seemed a bit embarrassed, and his tone carried a hint of irritation: "Inside there are the core shells of those Giant Jaws Ants and the forelimb blades of the Tearer! You put in the most effort, were at the forefront killing the majority, these are what you deserve, I don't have the habit of taking advantage of others!"

His words seemed to be a signal.

Immediately after, several more hands reached over.

Every bag was filled to the brim with the highest value Source Material quickly collected by everyone just now.

These people, all from various great families or Martial Arts Halls, were prideful and arrogant normally.

At this moment, having them put down their pride and sincerely thank might be difficult to speak of.

But letting them keep the spoils of war that rightfully belonged to Fang Qingyu was even less possible.

They had their own pride and principles.

Fang Qingyu looked at the bags in front of him, then swept his gaze over one face after another, tired, complex yet determined.

Understanding their intentions.

"Alright."

Fang Qingyu nodded, without any hypocritical refusal, and gestured to Chu Kuanglan and Lu Jiuyuan.

Chu Kuanglan grinned and responded with a hearty "Got it!", and together with Lu Jiuyuan, stepped forward to unceremoniously take those heavy bags and hang them on themselves.

"Then we'll go first."

Fang Qingyu nodded to everyone, especially to Shi Yuan.

Then, he took Jiang Wei's small hand, and with Wei Banmeng and the other three, turned and headed towards the large opening excavated open, where daylight was streaming through.

The five figures deftly climbed the rock wall and disappeared into the light outside the opening.

The cave fell silent again, leaving only the permeating scent of blood and the heavy breathing of those present.

After a while, someone gazed in the direction where Fang Qingyu disappeared, breaking the silence with a bitter smile: "I heard before that he hammered the injured Divine Chosen Sikong Zhen, I thought it was just luck, or some special means, never guessed the gap was so vast..."

This struck a chord.

"Isn't that the truth..." Another young man leaning against the rock wall wiped his face, with fear and a hint of self-mockery, "The elder from my family's Martial Arts Hall even told me to 'watch over' him a bit if I had the chance, to dampen his sharpness... ha, how is that watching over, it's clearly sending me to my death!"

"That one-man defense just now... simply not human..."

The feeling of surviving a disaster, at this moment, was diluted quite a bit by the complex emotions brought by the massive disparity in strength.

Looking at the mountain of Life Ghost remains piled up.

Recalling Fang Qingyu's rock-like figure and the destructive light of blades, a sense of powerlessness and subtle awe quietly grew in everyone's hearts.

...

On the Molten Rock Hills.

Fang Qingyu and the five raced across the chaotic dark red plains, chasing towards the distant horizon where the giant 'earthwave' trace was slowly calming.

The air was a mix of sulfur and the smell of blood, with sporadic Life Ghost screams adding to the desolation.

"Why so eager to leave?" Wei Banmeng followed beside Fang Qingyu, her cold voice carrying a hint of doubt and concern, "We've expended quite a bit, and are not in peak condition."

She wasn't questioning Fang Qingyu's decision, but wanted to know the reason.

Fang Qingyu maintained his high-speed movement while explaining in a deep voice: "The behavior of those Life Ghost groups was very abnormal. It didn't seem like a panicked retreat driven by fear, but more like a call or command."

Then he paused, using a more intuitive analogy: "Like a Martial Saint issuing a summoning order before dying, asking subordinates to fetch his last relics."

"A call? Command? Relics?" Wei Banmeng, Chu Kuanglan, and Lu Jiuyuan caught onto the key information instantly, exclaiming in unison: "Relic?!"

Fang Qingyu nodded: "There's just this possibility, exactly how it is, we'll only know after seeing it."

Wei Banmeng's eyes burst with bright light, all previous doubts wiped away, replaced by gravity and a hint of excitement.

Relic!

This was definitely a more valuable and rare opportunity than the Source Material tide!

After all, no one knew how many good things a Martial Saint could hide.

No wonder Fang Qingyu was in such a hurry.

"Understood!"

She said no more, her speed quietly increased a bit.

Soon, in just over ten minutes, they saw the 'tail end' of the ant swarm.

It was a small group of different shaped Rock Nest Ants Life Ghosts, slowly crawling on the charred earth, seemingly having lost their backbone.

And behind these lagging Life Ghosts.

Further on the plains, more shadowy figures appeared.

These people were clearly holding the same thoughts as Fang Qingyu and his team, all moving quickly in the direction the ant swarm was heading.

Most faces were unfamiliar, but there were a few that had been seen in the Hidden Dragon Plan's data.
