Seeing that spiritual power couldn't seep out, Lin Zichen withdrew all his spiritual power and focused intently on Qin Chuan in front of him and the water's surface above.

He wanted to see how Qin Chuan would deal with the two treacherous Deputy City Lords who were about to attack.

"Splash!"

"Splash!"

Two crisp splashing sounds rang out.

Bai Wubian and Shangguan Yuehua broke through the water almost simultaneously, coming into Lin Zichen's field of vision.

Seeing these two traitorous Deputy City Lords, Lin Zichen's heart was hanging by a thread.

Both of the traitorous Deputy City Lords were Legendary Level Experts.

If Qin Chuan couldn't deal with the two of them, then Lin Zichen, whose Biological Level was only at the first step of Epic, would be in a dire situation.

He feared he would have to resort to a mechanical descent of gods to solve the crisis.

For example, just like the time in the Coastal Forest facing the Ninth Elder, relying on Shen Qinghan's mechanical descent of a god to kill the Ninth Elder and lift the crisis.

"Qin you old dog, you seem very familiar with this place, have you been here before?"

Bai Wubian looked at Qin Chuan with a disrespectful tone.

Shangguan Yuehua didn't speak but silently spread out her spiritual power to sense the surrounding environment, then frowned upon finding that her spirit power couldn't spread out.

The two treacherous Deputy City Lords held back from making a move, not because they didn't want to, but because they didn't dare to act rashly.

Qin Chuan had stopped at this place and didn't flee, waiting to face the two of them head-on.

This caused a trace of unease in their hearts, feeling that there was some sort of scheme at play.

Qin Chuan saw their unease and spoke with a slightly weak voice, "Do you see the Source Crystals here?"

"This amount rivals the gains from killing a Legendary Level Alien."

"Inside this relic, there are many more spaces filled with Source Crystals like this one."

"Spare me, and I'll tell you about the remaining spaces, how about that?"

"..."

The offer was very tempting.

Qin Chuan was just a Legendary Level Expert, and while killing him would be profitable, it wouldn't be that much in the grand scheme of things.

Especially when the two would have to split the rewards.

But if it was as Qin Chuan said and there were many spaces like this one inside the relic filled with Source Crystals, then they truly would have struck gold.

Thinking this, both Bai Wubian and Shangguan Yuehua were tempted.

Among them, Bai Wubian, unable to suppress the greed deep in his heart, made a sweeping gesture with his hand intending to collect all the Source Crystals on the scene into the Storage Space deep within his Sea of Consciousness.

Seeing this, Shangguan Yuehua slightly frowned, then with a thought, she stopped Bai Wubian from taking all the Source Crystals.

Bai Wubian laughed, "Don't worry, I will share with you afterwards, there's no need to divide it so clearly right now."

Shangguan Yuehua replied expressionlessly, "It's better to divide it now."

After saying that, she collected the remaining half of the Source Crystals into her Storage Space, splitting them fifty-fifty with Bai Wubian.

On the other side, Qin Chuan, seeing the two traitorous Deputy City Lords had put all the Source Crystals into their Storage Spaces, couldn't help but show a relieved smile.

Bai Wubian saw Qin Chuan smile and also laughed out loud, "Qin you old dog, what are you laughing at?"

"Did you think just because I took the Source Crystals here, I agreed to the request you just made?"

"Killing you, all the Source Crystals naturally belong to us."

"Those spaces filled with Source Crystals you mentioned, since you could find them, there's no reason Yuehua and I cannot find them together."

"Qin you old dog, enjoy the last few seconds of laughter while you're still alive, soon you will have nothing to laugh about."

"..."

"You have no idea why I am laughing," Qin Chuan said, looking at Bai Wubian and Shangguan Yuehua opposite him with a deeper smile, "It's because you two are going to die."

About to die?

Bai Wubian and Shangguan Yuehua looked on, clueless.

Just then—

"Roar!!!"

A terrifying beastly roar came from the depths of the pool bottom space, causing the entire ground to crack open with countless startling fissures.
