Xu Yiming snapped out of his reverie, glanced at everyone, and waited to see what they might discover.

Unfortunately, to his disappointment, no one knew anything about Qin Feng or his whereabouts.

He added, "This person once appeared in the Monster Forest. He is probably at the King Realm level. If you have any information, come to Tianchi Dynasty to find me."

Tang Yao looked at Xu Yiming with curiosity. How could this King Realm cultivator have a conflict with Xu Yiming, who was in the Nascent Soul stage, especially in the dangerous Monster Forest?

Even though he was a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stage, he didn't dare to wander around alone. However, he didn't ask any questions or disturb Xu Yiming.

Zhou Jian immediately warned the members of the Heavenly Sword Sect with his eyes, telling them not to talk nonsense.

Everyone in the Heavenly Sword Sect knew the seriousness of the matter and dared not utter a sound.

Even Yin Tiantian, with her carefree personality, kept her mouth tightly shut, her eyes fixed on the portrait, while constantly scrutinizing Xu Yiming.

Ding Junhua was incredibly excited at that moment; he felt his chance to rise to prominence had arrived.

He certainly knew Qin Feng, and he admired Qin Feng. Qin Feng was about the same age as him, but his cultivation level far surpassed his.

He would be very tempted if Qin Feng's information could benefit him.

Ding Junhua subconsciously looked at his master, Zhao Mingzhen.

Zhao Mingzhen knew what he was thinking and shook his head slightly at him.

Ding Junhua suppressed his excitement and did not tell Xu Yiming.

Xu Yiming waited quietly for a while, watching the noisy crowd talking.

To him, these people's reactions, expressions, and actions seemed quite ordinary; their surprise at the reward, their confusion about the information, and their deep reverie.

Xu Yiming hadn't held out much hope. The Monster Forest was a very special place, and he didn't know where Qin Feng was from. This was a case of casting a wide net to catch many fish.

Seeing that no one had contacted him, he decided to leave.

He said to Tang Yao, "Brother Tang, if you have any information about this person, I will offer you a reward. I hope you can help me spread this news."

Tang Yao smiled and nodded, "Easy, I will."

Xu Yiming left with the people from Flying Dynasty.

Tang Yao was in a good mood at the moment, and addressed the forces under his Qingyun Sect:

"Although there were some twists and turns this time, it went relatively smoothly. Now it's time to distribute the spoils."

Tang Yao's words stirred up the emotions of all the factions. They had gone to great lengths to send their disciples to represent the Qingyun Sect in the war, wasn't that what they were after?

The members of the Heavenly Sword Sect were even more excited, as Xiao Fan, Yin Tiantian, and Xiao Shitou had won all ten battles and were expected to receive a larger share.

Tang Yao pressed his palm down slightly, signaling everyone to quiet down.

He said with a smile:

"Originally, our distribution was 60/40, but this time we promise you that the force of the victorious cultivator will receive an extra bonus."

I'm allocating 50% this time, and since the Heavenly Sword Sect performed exceptionally well, I'll give them 20%.

Yu Jing, Zhou Jian, and the other members of the Heavenly Sword Sect were overjoyed.

Don't underestimate the fact that it's only 20%; it's already quite good.

There were 30 cultivators representing Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul stages, from various different factions.

The fact that the Heavenly Sword Sect was able to obtain 20% has already made other forces envious.

Yu Jing, as the representative, quickly and politely expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Tang."

There was no other way. Although Yu Jing was a King Realm expert and Tang Yao was only a Nascent Soul Realm expert, their status was what it was, so he had to be polite.

Tang Yao waved his hand, "You're welcome. This is what you deserve. The distribution for the other forces is as follows... Does everyone have any objections?"

No one objected when he spoke up, and the distribution might vary in amount.

The key point is that these forces have all crossed paths with the Qingyun Sect and have found a powerful ally, which they are quite satisfied with.

Seeing that no one spoke, Tang Yao continued:

"Alright, that's all for now. Everyone, please disperse. We'll begin developing this mine soon."

After he finished speaking, he left with the people of Qingyun Sect, and the other forces also dispersed.

The members of the Heavenly Sword Sect returned to the new Heavenly Sword Sect, which was not far from that mountain peak.

Once back in their own place, everyone couldn't help but start discussing it.

"Did you see that portrait? If I'm not mistaken, isn't that our guest elder, Qin Feng?"

"I think so too. But Qin Feng hasn't even reached the Saint Realm yet, so how come he has any dealings with Xu Yiming of the Tianchi Dynasty?"

"I don't think it's that simple. Judging from Xu Yiming's expression, there must be some conflict."

Although Yin Tiantian also looked puzzled, she did not express her opinion.

The same applies to Xiao Fan.

Sect Leader Deng Tianning glanced at the enthusiastic crowd and interrupted them:

"Alright, everyone, stop making wild guesses."

The portrait is indeed of Qin Feng, but the reason why Xu Yiming sought out Qin Feng is unknown.

Whether it's repaying a debt of gratitude or harboring resentment, let's leave that aside for now.

Besides, we don't even know where Qin Feng is right now.

Let's start with the construction of the new Heavenly Sword Sect. We've won the rights to some high-grade mineral veins; this is a great opportunity for us.

Zhou Jian added, "No one should talk about Qin Feng yet, as it might have a negative impact."

"Our Heavenly Sword Sect is no match for the Heavenly Chi Dynasty, and the Azure Cloud Sect will not offend the Heavenly Chi Dynasty for our sake."

Everyone nodded and dispersed.

Yin Tiantian said to Xiao Fan, "Junior Brother is really restless. He hasn't even arrived in the Holy Domain yet, and he's already offended people."

Xiao Fan smiled and said with some admiration:

"Hehe, anyway, I don't think the young master will suffer a loss. Didn't you see how angry Xu Yiming was?"

He was willing to pay such a high price to find the young master, which shows that he suffered a great loss.

"Young Master is truly amazing! I haven't even seen him yet, and I've already heard of his renown! Haha!"

Yin Tiantian pouted in annoyance, "I think you're obsessed. But speaking of which, where is Junior Brother now, and how is Yuexi doing?"

Xiao Fan also felt a little nostalgic, "Yes, where are they all? Young Master must have become even more powerful, and so must Sister. No, I need to go cultivate too."

...

Qingyun Sect.

Tang Yao had already returned to the Qingyun Sect and headed straight for the sect leader's residence.

He was also curious as to why the sect leader, who held a high position, would be interested in this matter, take the initiative to get involved, and even instruct him to report the results.

He didn't dare ask and could only do as instructed.

Therefore, Tang Yao cared even more about the outcome of this battle against Tianchi Dynasty, and even increased his bets.

Upon seeing the old Daoist Qingchen, he respectfully bowed and said, "Disciple greets Sect Master."

The old Taoist priest Xu Qingchen glanced at him, stroked his beard, and said with a smile, "How did things go?"

Tang Yao took a deep breath. "Reporting to the Sect Master, everything went smoothly. We won."

Old Daoist Qingchen didn't pay attention to that, but instead asked, "How did those kids from the Heavenly Sword Sect perform?"

Tang Yao wasn't surprised. He had been instructed to pay close attention to the performance of the Heavenly Sword Sect members.
