"Pei Haoran, are you insane?"

Without hesitation, upon hearing Wang Junze's words, the chubby fellow accelerated abruptly, like a human cannonball, charging towards the masked man.

The two were too familiar with each other's behavior to hold any illusions about their characters.

Precisely because of this, the masked man was truly panicked.

Facing Wang Junze alone, he was already no match, and now with a companion's sneak attack, this battle was unwinnable.

Bam!

The knife in hand slashed out fiercely, barely blocking Pei Haoran's soft sword, but the masked man was knocked flying again, spitting out another mouthful of blood. Panic surged in his heart, yet he refused to give up, desperately roaring, "Pei Haoran, don't be fooled by him! If I die, he won't spare you either!"

"We've cooperated so many times, aren't I more credible than him? Let's join forces to kill him; this time's benefits, I'll forgo all of them, they're yours!"

At the brink of life and death, he abandoned all unrealistic fantasies, now left with trying to tempt the other with benefits.

"Killing you means they're mine anyway, doesn't it?"

With a menacing grin, Pei Haoran spoke again, "Stop struggling, I'll give you a quick end!"

"Brother, Pei Haoran is wealthier than I am! Join me and kill him; I want nothing, just let me leave and everything here is yours." Seeing Pei Haoran being relentless, the masked man immediately turned his plea to Wang Junze for partnership.

Wang Junze actually didn't care who he teamed up with, killing either one would yield no loss for him.

But...

"You're saying this too late!"

A hint of contempt appeared at the corner of his mouth as Wang Junze replied coldly, "You're already gravely injured, what meaning is there in joining hands with you?"

Wang Junze wasn't afraid to put things plainly; there was no trust to speak of among them, only the most realistic benefits mattered.

The clearer he spoke, the more Pei Haoran would trust him instead.

Killing someone already gravely injured was naturally more cost-effective than fighting head-on.

Pei Haoran was equally strong, and with Wang Junze having already unleashed his full strength once, he wasn't confident he could kill the other; or even if he could, it would come at a brutal cost!

Why bother?

"Haha, as I just said, it's as if we hit it off at first sight!"

Hearing this, Pei Haoran laughed loudly, "You're a friend I've decided on."

The two reached a tacit understanding and once more attacked the masked man together.

Of course, while they said it was teaming up, they were also keeping an eye on each other.

But no matter how it was, the masked man had no way to resist the combined attack of the two, and moments later, he was forced to burn his Divine Soul and Essence Blood desperately.

But alas... it was all meaningless!

The soft sword viciously pierced through the masked man's heart, and Wang Junze's sword also struck, beheading the opponent. Only then did the two quickly distance themselves from each other.

"Let me reintroduce myself, Pei Family, Pei Haoran!"

Standing cheekily in front of the masked man's corpse, the chubby fellow spoke again.

"Ye Piaoling!"

With an unchanged expression, Wang Junze replied calmly.

"Who's going to search the body?"

Pei Haoran asked again.

"You do it!"

With a slight sway, Wang Junze backed off a little, saying indifferently.

"Alright!"

Wang Junze's voluntary retreat signaled that he wouldn't take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, but the position Wang Junze retreated to was interesting, moving closer to the Netherworld Flying Ship.

This way, if the other side took the benefits and wanted to deny them, Wang Junze could seize the Flying Ship nearby.

Being smart, they naturally understood each other's meaning, and although they guarded against one another, this was undoubtedly the fairest way.

Pei Haoran didn't waste words, quickly retrieving everything from the masked man's body and directly laying it all out next to the corpse in a pile so that Wang Junze could see clearly.

After dealing with each other so many times, Pei Haoran was familiar with the masked man's wealth, with just the Spirit Stones amounting to hundreds of thousands, piled up into a small mountain.

Besides, there were Blood Spirit Pills, various other resources, and other treasures like the blade in the opponent's hand, with a total value surpassing the Netherworld Flying Ship.

Pei Haoran didn't stop there, quickly searching the body of another person they had just killed, again laying everything out before turning to Wang Junze with a cheerful smile.

"Brother Ye, how shall we split this?"

"It's too troublesome. The Netherworld Flying Ship and those Profound Moon Sword Sect female disciples are mine, and the rest is yours, how about that?"

Raising his brows slightly, Wang Junze pointed to the Netherworld Flying Ship, speaking indifferently.

In terms of value, the treasures from these people far exceeded the Netherworld Flying Ship's worth, but for Wang Junze, this approach was cleaner.

Otherwise, he would have to find an opportunity to spend all those Spirit Stones and resources at the Netherworld Auction, which wasn't necessary.

More importantly, this allowed him to take the Profound Moon Sword Sect's female disciples without arousing suspicion.

"Excellent!"

Wang Junze's choice greatly satisfied Pei Haoran.

The Netherworld Flying Ship didn't interest him in the first place, and if it were given to him, he would have to resell it. Now, yielding it to Wang Junze and getting these spoils of war was exactly what he wanted.

Moreover, this clear division saved them from further mutual suspicion, which was really ideal.

Nodding slightly, Wang Junze didn't linger further, heading directly towards the Netherworld Flying Ship.

"Brother Ye, interested in teaming up for something big again?"

Seeing Wang Junze about to leave, Pei Haoran asked again.

"The Netherworld Auction won't happen continuously in a short time, right?"

A slight stir in his heart, Wang Junze queried back.

"You don't have to focus only on the Netherworld Auction; there are plenty of opportunities in the Nether Sea." Smiling, Pei Haoran replied nonchalantly, "As long as you agree, I'll look for opportunities, how about that?"

"Alright!"

After some thought, Wang Junze didn't refuse, agreeing directly.

It wasn't because he trusted Pei Haoran much, but because he could gather more information about the Nether Sea through him.

The chubby fellow obviously wasn't ordinary, and if used well, he might even find out about Dugu Feng, or better yet... persuade him to join forces against Dugu Feng, which couldn't possibly harm!

"This is a Token. I'll notify you when I have news!"

With a flip of his wrist, Pei Haoran tossed out a Jade Talisman.

Raising his hand slightly, Wang Junze caught it and agreed straightforwardly, "Alright! Next, I'll keep moving towards the Nether Sea. Let me know if you get any opportunities."

Having said that, Wang Junze stepped onto the Netherworld Flying Ship.

Though encountering it for the first time, Wang Junze quickly figured out how to control the Flying Ship, and in no time, it took off again, disappearing into the night.
