Duan Ling Tian wanted to stop her, but he was already too late.
This little girl Xue Nai had always spoken her mind freely and would argue to the point of death.
"Little girl, watch out, misfortune comes from the mouth!" The azure clothed old manās face sank slightly, and then he abruptly looked at Han Xue Nai with hid muddy eyes that flashed with killing intent.
"Misfortune comes from the mouth? Old goat, Iāllā¦" How could Han Xue Nai endure it when she heard the old manās threats? She instantly lost her temper.
"Xue Nai!" Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian stretched out his hand to grab Han Xue Naiās hand, and then he lightly shook his head as he sent out a voice transmission. "Thereās no need to behave badly like himā¦ Moreover, this old fellowās strength isnāt bad, once he enters the Sword Monarchās Treasure and locates some treasures, we can seize it from him then."
"Killing him now isnāt worth it."
Duan Ling Tianās words caused Han Xue Naiās expression to ease up, and she grunted. "Old goat, out of respect for Big Brother Ling Tian, this Young Miss wonāt fuss about it with you!"
At the same time, traces of an excited sheen appeared in Han Xue Naiās eyes, and then she sent a voice transmission to Duan Ling Tian. "Big Brother Ling Tian, youāre rightā¦ Once this old goat finds a treasure, weāll seize it from him and cause him to spit blood from anger before killing him!"
Han Xue Naiās voice transmission caused Duan Ling Tian to feel a chill run down his spine, and he couldnāt help but mourn silently for the azure clothed old man.
This old fellow didnāt offend anyone else, yet dared offend this little devil.
"You!!" The old manās expression went livid with anger from being scolded by a young girl around the age of 15 or 16, and his body trembled.
When he saw the old man beside him about to lose his temper, the nearby Dong Ming hurriedly stopped him. "Elder Hu, since this Young Miss has already compromised, thereās no need to continue fussing about it with himā¦ Just let it go."
"Hmph!" Elder Hu snorted coldly, and in the end, he listened to Dong Ming and didnāt flare up.
Duan Ling Tian glanced indifferently at the old man.
The old manās cultivation was unable to escape before his Spiritual Force.
This old man was an existence at the eighth level of the Void Initiation Stage.
In terms of strength, he was comparable to the Tang Clanās Grand Elder that had been sealed in ice by Han Xue Nai and died at Duan Ling Tianās hands.
Meanwhile, the gorge returned to peace once more, whereas, the two middle aged man that stood at the side were now sizing up Duan Ling Tian and Han Xue Nai with eyes that revealed a strange sheen that was imperceptible.
It was unknown what they were thinking.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
ā¦
Numerous figures descended down into the gorge from above.
It wasnāt long before the remaining five groups of people had arrived as appointed.
These people all came in groups of two.
Presently, when the other five groups of people appeared, they couldnāt help but be stunned when they saw the combination of Duan Ling Tian and Han Xue Nai.
"Theyāre possessors of jade swords as well?" In next to no time, there was someone that looked towards Duan Ling Tian and asked with a doubtful expression.
Duan Ling Tian didnāt say anything further, with a raise of his hand, he withdrew the jade sword that belonged to him from his Spatial Ring, and he waved about before the people that doubted him.
Instantly, all those people didnāt speak further.
"Young Man, if I were you, Iād have found a Senior to go to the Sword Monarchās Treasure vault with meā¦ Youāre truly too rash." A green clothed old man that was comparatively kindhearted shook his head and sighed.
The dangers of the Sword Monarchās Treasure were something that no one was able to expect.
It was precisely because of this that no one dared look down upon the dangers within it.
The unknown was undoubtedly the most terrifying.
Under these circumstances, the stronger oneās strength was, the more chances one would have to survive and obtain the fortune that belonged to oneās self.
"Thank you for the reminder, Senior." Duan Ling Tian smiled gratefully towards the old manās reminder. "But Junior has a grasp of the situation, and I wonāt trouble Senior to worry about me."
"Have everyone else brought along their jade swords?" Meanwhile, another person withdrew his jade sword and asked the others.
For a time, the other seven groups of people withdrew their own respective jade swords and displayed it before everyoneās eyes.
The nine jade swords were gathered together.
Right at this moment.
"Eh?" Duan Ling Tian noticed that the jade sword in his hand had started to vibrate suddenly, and it was as if it was summoned and urgently wanted to escape his hands.
The jade swords of the other eight people were almost the same.
The nine jade swords were all trembling now, and every single jade sword pointed at the same placeā¦
More precisely speaking, it was the same spot.
"According to legend, once the nine swords combine into one, theyāll transform into a completely new jade sword that would guide us to head towards the Sword Monarchās Treasure!" Meanwhile, Dong Ming who held a jade sword spoke out. "Everyone, how about we allow the nine swords to combine into one now and search for the Sword Monarchās Treasure?" As soon as Dong Ming finished speaking, he looked around towards the surroundings.
"I have no objections." Duan Ling Tian shrugged with an indifferent expression.
"I have no objections either."
"I have no objections."
ā¦
For a time, besides Dong Ming who put forward the suggestion, another five people who held jade swords in their hands shook their heads.
Including Duan Ling Tian and Dong Ming, a total of seven people agreed to directly allow the nine swords to combine into one and search for the Sword Monarchās Treasure.
Only the remaining two people that held jade swords didnāt make their stands known.
One of them was precisely one of the two middle aged men in embroidered clothes that had arrived at the gorge long ago.
The other person was a short emaciated old man with a pair of crossed-eyes.
"Hmm?" Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian noticed that the middle aged man in embroidered clothes and the emaciated old man suddenly looked at each other before looking at him at the same time.
More precisely speaking, they looked at him and Han Xue Nai who was beside him.
"What do the two of you want to do?!" Dong Mingās face went slightly grim.
"Itās nothingā¦ We just feel that some people donāt have the qualifications to hold jade swords. Why donāt they hand over the jade sword and give over two positions?" The middle aged man in embroidered clothes that held a jade sword looked at Duan Ling Tian as he shook his head.
It was as if he was speaking of a matter of no great importance.
"Exactly!" The emaciated old man that similarly held onto a jade sword nodded in agreement. "I still have a friend thatās at the Eastern Mulberry Empireās Imperial Cityā¦ I originally didnāt intend to bring him with me, but, since there are two more positions now, I intended to call him over now."
"Heās an existence at the seventh level of the Void Initiation Stage, and if he enters the Sword Monarchās Treasure with us, he would be of great help to us." The emaciated old manās words caused many people whose faces became grim to heave a sigh of relief.
Exactly, they knew nothing of the dangers within the Sword Monarchās Treasure, but they could be sure of one thing, the stronger their strengths were, the higher their chances of surviving in there would be.
For a time, the gazes of most people descended onto Duan Ling Tian and Han Xue Nai.
Perhaps, in their eyes, if a violet clothed young man around the age of 25 and a yellow clothed young girl around the age of 15 or 16 were to enter the Sword Monarchās Treasure, the young man and young girl would be of no help to them and would only be a burden to them.
But although the others thought in this way, they didnāt speak out, and they only watched coldly from the sidelines and allowed the situation to develop.
These people included Dong Ming as well.
After a short moment, Duan Ling Tian and Han Xue Nai were surrounded from four corners by the two middle aged men in embroidered clothes, the emaciated old man, and a grey clothed old woman.
These four pairs of gazes stared covetously at the jade sword in Duan Ling Tianās hand.
"Kid, if you hand over the jade sword and leave right awayā¦ We can spare your life."
"Exactly! So long as you hand over the jade sword and give up those two spots, then since there are no ill feelings between us, thereās no need for us to make a move against you."
"Kid, if youāre sensible then put down the jade sword and f**k off!"
ā¦
The four people looked at Duan Ling Tian and their words were filled with threats.
Within the gorge, a fight was about to break out.
Of course, there were also another five groups of people watching the show.
"Brother Ling Tian!" Dong Ming that stood in the distance frowned, he was slightly unable to continue watching this any longer, and he took a step forward and wanted to help Duan Ling Tian.
"Dong Ming!" Meanwhile, the azure clothed old man by Dong Mingās side restrained him. "Donāt get involved in this situation! Otherwise, I wonāt forgive you."
Dong Mingās figure stiffened, and then he glanced at Duan Ling Tian with a guilty gaze before sighing, and he withdrew his footstep in the end.
This scene was clearly noticed by Duan Ling Tian.
At the same time that warmth arose in his heart, he couldnāt help but feel slight rageā¦
Of course, this rage was directed towards the azure clothed old man.
"Brother Ling Tian, hand over the jade sword to themā¦ No matter what the Sword Monarchās Treasure contains, all of that is imaginary, and only your life is real and most important!" Dong Mingās voice transmission sounded out by Duan Ling Tianās ears.
Dong Ming wanted to persuade Duan Ling Tian to give up the jade sword and leave.
Duan Ling Tian naturally knew that Ding Ming meant well.
"No matter what, only you aroused the intention to help me and persuade me amongst all the people presentā¦ I, Duan Ling Tian, will remember this favor." Duan Ling Tian nodded to Dong Ming, and then after speaking for a short while via voice transmission, he changed the topic. "But it isnāt any tom, dick, and harry who have the ability to seize the jade sword in my hand."
Dong Ming was stunned.
It was difficult for him to imagine where exactly this young man got such great confidence from.
Even if his natural talent was any higher, a young man that looked to be around the age of 25 would at most be a martial artist that had just stepped into the Void Initiation Stage.
As for the other young girl that was around the age of 15 or 16, her ability to fly had already shocked him.
As far as he was concerned, the young girl was at most a genius martial artist that had just broken through to the Void Prying Stage.
"Kid, Iāll give you another five breaths of time to considerā¦ At that time, if you still donāt put down the jade sword in your hand, then you and this little girl are dead!" The middle aged man in embroidered clothes that held a jade sword threatened with a stern voice.
"Youāre extremely young and possess many more good yearsā¦ Thereās no need to throw away your life for a jade sword." The emaciated old man had an expressionless face as he looked at Duan Ling Tian, and although his tone was flat, yet it contained killing intent concealed within.
Even though he was facing the threats of others, Duan Ling Tianās expression was still calm as before, and it was as if his expression wouldnāt change even if Mount Tai collapsed before him.
Subsequently, Duan Ling Tian looked at Han Xue Nai who was beside him and asked with a smile. "Xue Nai, someone wants to seize our jade sword and seize out spots to enter the Sword Monarchās Treasureā¦ What do you think we should do?"
No one noticed that long before when the two middle aged men in embroidered clothes, the emaciated old man, and grey clothed old lady surrounded over, a sheen of excitement was faintly emitted from the depths of Han Xue Naiās gaze.
