Cultivators were unaware that at this very moment, within the heart of the flames, two figures were huddled together, cackling.
"Sixth Senior Brother, who would have thought we'd meet again just an hour or two after parting," chuckled Li Xiaobai.
"Hehe, it's because my dear Junior Brother understands me well. I knew at first glance that this flame was set by you. Those dimwits outside were completely bamboozled by Ol'Fatty here; now they're probably all scrambling to get inside!"
Liu Jinshui said with a laugh, "Junior Brother, we've made a pretty good haul this time. How about we split it fifty-fifty?"
Li Xiaobai shook his head. "Honestly, releasing these flames was a big risk for me. How about an eighty-twenty split?"
Liu Jinshui countered, "Sixty-forty, no less. Do you have any idea of the pressure your senior brother faced out there? I deserve some compensation for that!"
