After indicating that Xuanyuan Ling was fine, Xiao Chen once again looked at Yin Sheng. Facing Xiao Chen's gaze, the smile on Yin Sheng's face became even colder.
"I didn't say that. However, shouldn't Sect Master Xiao give everyone an explanation for doing this?"
As soon as Yin Sheng said this, a cold glint flashed across Xiao Chen's eyes. This guy's words made him stand on the opposite side of everyone present.
Thinking about it, there were so many people present. Almost all the people from the major forces were present. Now, the inheritance and treasures in the ruins were all obtained by Xuanyuan Ling. One could imagine what everyone would think.
The purpose of so many people gathering here was self-evident. It was for the ruins. But now, the ruins had been emptied by Xuanyuan Ling. Wouldn't this make everyone's trip in vain?
Yin Sheng's heart gradually turned cold. He was obviously trying to provoke a conflict between the Sword Sect and everyone present, while he reaped the benefits.
However, it was also at this time that some of the people who had entered the ruins began to return one after another. Everyone's face showed some displeasure, not for other reasons, because in the end, they did not find anything in the ruins. This was an empty ruin, so everyone was naturally disappointed.
However, although they were disappointed, no one dared to vent their anger on Xiao Chen and Yin Sheng. Therefore, when they saw that Xiao Chen and Yin Sheng were still at the entrance of the ruins, many people forced a smile and said, "Sect Master Xiao, Sect Master Yin, this ruin is empty. It seems that we have made a trip in vain."
After all, they were unwilling to get involved in the conflict between Yin Sheng and Xiao Chen. As mortals, they were not qualified to participate in a fight between immortals.
However, at this moment, Yin Sheng said with a smile, "Everyone, don't be anxious. I know that this is an empty ruin. However, don't you want to know why this is an empty ruin?"
As Yin Sheng said this, he looked at Xiao Chen with a cold smile. Hearing Yin Sheng's words, everyone who returned from the ruins had different expressions. However, they all stopped in their tracks.
Everyone also wanted to know what was going on. Seeing that everyone was interested in this, the smile on Yin Sheng's face became even brighter as he said unhurriedly.
"Actually, we have to ask Sect Master Xiao of our Sword Sect, or rather, we have to ask Sect Master Xiao's sworn brother, Xuanyuan Ling."
As soon as Yin Sheng said this, everyone's eyes involuntarily looked at Xiao Chen and Xuanyuan Ling. At the same time, after a pause, Yin Sheng continued.
"Actually, Xuanyuan Ling was already in the relic before it was opened. It's very normal for everyone to gain nothing after entering the relic because the inheritance and various treasures of the relic are currently with Xuanyuan Ling."
The moment these words were spoken, everyone looked at Xuanyuan Ling with eyes that clearly carried a hint of hostility.
Thinking about it, it was normal. Everyone gathered here from all over the Great Thousand World in order to find an opportunity in the ruins. However, in the end, it was all for naught. This was obviously unacceptable.
Sensing the hostility in everyone's eyes, Yin Sheng sneered in his heart. Now that Xiao Chen had angered everyone, if they were to fight, this motley crew might not be a match for the Sword Sect. However, Yin Sheng would definitely be happy to see this. After all, no matter how strong the Sword Sect was, how could they offend all the sects in the Great Thousand World? If that was the case, it would be enough to make the Sword Sect suffer and even destroy the Sword Sect.
Yin Sheng's move was indeed a little sinister. However, just as he was secretly sneering, Xiao Chen suddenly spoke.
"The inheritance and treasures of the ruins were indeed obtained by my elder brother."
Xiao Chen said slowly without any change in his expression. He did not deny what he had said. After all, it was impossible to hide such a thing even if he wanted to, so he might as well admit it openly.
Seeing that Xiao Chen had taken the initiative to admit it, everyone present was stunned. However, before they could recover from their shock, Xiao Chen continued.
"However, my elder brother has obtained the inheritance of the Reincarnation Emperor. It's not an exaggeration to say that he's the successor of the Reincarnation Emperor. Moreover, my elder brother was the first to discover the ruins. Before the ruins were discovered, my elder brother had already found the location of the ruins. Therefore, even if it's based on who came first, the ruins should belong to my elder brother."
Xiao Chen said plainly. Hearing this, everyone present had different expressions. Some felt that Xiao Chen's words made sense, while others felt that they were not convinced.
After memorizing everyone's expressions, Xiao Chen continued.
"However, since everyone has come a long way and obtained nothing, and in addition, everything in the ruins was indeed obtained by my elder brother, my Sword Sect will naturally not be unreasonable. As the sect master of the Sword Sect, I, Xiao Chen, can once again promise everyone that my Sword Sect will definitely compensate everyone."
Xiao Chen was willing to compensate everyone present. Hearing this, many people's expressions eased up slightly.
Although they knew that the Sword Sect's compensation might not be comparable to the treasures in the ruins, they had still obtained something. It was actually enough.
Moreover, Xiao Chen had already done everything he could. With the Sword Sect's current strength and influence, what could they do even if there was no compensation? Could it be that they really dared to become enemies with the Sword Sect?
Sure enough, after saying these words, Xiao Chen's eyes quickly revealed a trace of coldness. At the same time, a terrifying aura surged from his body. His domineering gaze swept across everyone present as he spoke in a deep voice.
"However, if anyone believes the nonsense of others and harbors resentment towards my Sword Sect, or even wants to cause trouble, then I can accompany you to the end. That's all I have to say. Everyone, make your own choice. Those who are willing to believe in me can leave now. In a few days, the Sword Sect will naturally send compensation to you. If you want to become enemies with the Sword Sect, feel free to stay. However, you will have to bear the consequences."
First, he offered everyone compensation for their deaths, and then he made an undisguised threat. Following Xiao Chen's words, everyone present was silent for a few breaths. Many of them secretly looked at each other, and soon someone made a choice.
"Sect Master Xiao, please forgive us. We naturally don't dare to become enemies with the Sword Sect. We'll leave now."
After the first person left, a second person quickly followed. Since Xiao Chen had already given them enough face and even didn't hesitate to compensate them, they naturally wouldn't fail to appreciate his kindness. If they really angered Xiao Chen, then it wouldn't be too difficult for the Sword Sect to annihilate them.
