They seized a substantial haul of gold, silver, jewelry, and finely crafted iron weapons from the bandit nests. The bandit hideouts were well-stocked with ready-made daily necessities, featuring sturdy houses, opulent treasuries, and ample granaries, resembling small kingdoms.

The martial arts world leader, along with the assembled heroes, established a base in the mountains. They systematically dismantled nearby smaller bandit nests and pursued scattered bandits who had fled deeper into the mountains.

News of the ongoing mountain battles reached Su Bin daily, and he shared the updates with Qin Zhenzhen.

Curious, she inquired, “What do you plan to do with the gold and silver?”

The mountain bandits often ventured to affluent cities to pillage before returning to Shanglin for respite. Once they identified a new target, they would emerge from the mountains to commit their crimes.

Based on the information she had gathered, Qin Zhenzhen already knew that one of the significant bandit nests belonged to descendants of the previous dynasty, while the other served as a training base recently acquired by the Public House. Interestingly, these two bandit groups were unaware of each

other’s secrets and even sought to recruit the other into their ranks.

The accumulated wealth of gold, silver, and jewelry in the mountains was staggering. Although the martial arts world leader appeared to lead the charge openly, three covert forces were at play.

Firstly, there was the martial arts world leader and renowned sects, along with various heroes.

Secondly, operatives from the Third Prince and Lin Yue’s faction maintained concealed identities. Instead, they appeared as some civilian organizations.

Thirdly, operatives dispatched by the Dragon Phoenix Hall were part of the effort. They didn’t conceal their identities from the martial arts world leader and Lin Yue.

All the intelligence from the mountain and the information gathered by spies originated from the Dragon Phoenix Hall. Despite their limited numbers, their contributions were on par with those of the martial arts world leader and Lin Yue.

While the martial arts world leader and Lin Yue maintained a mutual understanding not to publicly disclose their identities, astute individuals within the martial arts community could make educated guesses.

The coordinated efforts of these three factions, complete with a well-laid plan and infiltrated spies, facilitated the swift capture of the bandit nests, ensuring an inevitable victory.

However, casualties were inevitable, and the challenge lay in fairly distributing the spoils of war.

Dividing the spoils into three parts risked discontent among the factions. The martial arts world leader had deployed the most significant number of individuals, resulting in considerable casualties that required substantial compensation.

On Lin Yue’s side, although the numbers were fewer, all operatives had undergone specialized training, capable of handling multiple opponents. Moreover, they took the risk of being exposed to participate in suppressing the bandits, enticed by the prospect of wealth in the bandit nests.

The Dragon Phoenix Hall sent the fewest personnel but made the most substantial contributions. Without their intelligence and spies, the swift victory in the battle would not have been possible.

It would be ideal if the spoils of war could be distributed fairly among the three parties.

Su Bin smiled reassuringly and said, “Wife, don’t worry. They’ve already hashed out the details.”

“The first priority is to allocate compensation, which will then be divided equally among the three factions.”

“Lin Yue and his group are interested in weapons, while the martial arts world leader prefers gold, silver, and jewelry. The Dragon Phoenix Hall has expressed a preference for banknotes.”

“These items are interchangeable, making it a convenient arrangement.”

“Both the martial arts world leader and Lin Yue are straightforward individuals.

This joint effort can be considered a mutually beneficial deal for them.”

“As for the Dragon Phoenix Hall, given our limited manpower and the need for their assistance, it’s a fair exchange to allocate them a third.”

Qin Zhenzhen felt a sense of relief..
