The leader had no doubt about Dongfang Mian's words and nodded, saying, "I see. It's really fate that we met here. How about we explore together from here on out? Once we find the treasure vault, we'll divide it equally."

Dongfang Mian nodded and said, "Great! That's wonderful. There's no need for an equal distribution. We're not strong enough to share as much as you. You can choose first when we find the treasure vault, and we'll just take one-third."

Not only was the leader very satisfied, but his team members were also very satisfied. After all, if Dongfang Mian had not been willing to cooperate, they would likely have had to fight as soon as they entered, which would have been too detrimental to them. Now, not only was the other party willing to cooperate, but they also took the initiative to ask for a smaller share of the treasure. Wasn't this like a few big fools falling from the sky and landing right on their heads?

The group led the frustrated Dongfang Mian and the others back. Because Dongfang Mian had blocked the passage, he had not yet recovered his peak strength. The fire dragons he occasionally spewed were weak and dissipated as soon as they were touched, leaving the other group completely confused.

Wasn't it supposed to be an Emperor's Treasure Cave? How come it's not as good as the ordinary treasure caves I've been to? Does reaching the Emperor's realm suddenly broaden one's mind? Makes one unwilling to hurt people casually? But surely one's own treasure cave doesn't have any defensive measures at all.

After passing through the mechanism passage, the group of puzzled people arrived at the palace that Dongfang Mian and the others had visited before. The dozen or so ghosts did not hide their forms.

The old man among the ghosts looked up and saw that it was Dongfang Mian. He assumed that she had gone out to call someone, which was why she hadn't continued walking. So he casually waved his hand and said, "You've come. Go in. The left path is the fastest."

This unusual behavior was driving the leader crazy. It was the first time in his life that he had seen such an easy-going ghost. Not only did it not attack him, but it didn't even ask him any questions. It even helped them find their way. Had the Emperor locked up his enemy here?

Following the direction the old man pointed, they walked smoothly to the treasure vault's barrier, since the previous pool had already been cleared by Dongfang Mian and the others. The leader was practically in tears; it had gone too far, and he couldn't possibly take an extra share of the treasure.

After breaking through the already weak barrier together, everyone was very excited and rushed in with another group, only to find that they were faced with four empty walls.

"Where's the treasure? Could it be that someone has already come in?" the leader exclaimed in surprise.

Without Dongfang Mian needing to explain, someone in the group said, "That's impossible. There's no sign that the outer barrier has been broken, and we haven't seen anyone else either."

Several people cast suspicious glances at Dongfang Mian, only to find that a quarrel had already broken out over there.

Dongfang Mian: "This so-called Emperor's Treasure Vault is a complete scam!"

Hua Qianxun: "Did you insist on coming here yourself? Why waste time getting exploration tokens?"

Yan Lin: "Shut up! All of you!"

Ironclad: "Miss, how can you be so ungrateful? My young master is only doing this to keep you company."

Aju: "Ugh! This is so annoying! I'm going to bite someone!"

Ahua: "Waaah~ Stop fighting, Ahua's scared~".

The leader, who had originally intended to question them, had long since cast aside his suspicions. He instructed his men to separate them one by one and persuade them individually. It took considerable effort to calm them down.

At that moment, someone in the group pointed to a stain in the corner and asked, "What's this?"
