Suddenly, the air in the hall froze.
Temple Master Iceberg stared at Jian Wushuang with a gloomy face. Jian Wushuang did not avoid his stare, but stared back at him.
After a long time …
"Very well." Temple Master Iceberg opened his mouth. "Since you don't have the compass, I won't see you out."
Jian Wushuang turned around and left without hesitation.
When Temple Master Iceberg saw Jian Wushuang walk out of the palace and disappear from his sight, his eyes turned completely cold. He clenched his fists so tightly that his sharp fingertips almost pierced into his flesh.
"Jian Wushuang, since you're so stubborn, don't blame me for being rude."
…
After walking out of Temple Master Iceberg's palace, Jian Wushuang finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, although Temple Master Iceberg yearns for the compass, he still has a trace of reason. He won't directly attack me in the Holy Place," Jian Wushuang thought to himself.
He was indeed worried that Temple Master Iceberg would completely fall out with him. Given Temple Master Iceberg's strength, if they really fought, Jian Wushuang would not be able to resist.
"Although he has some scruples in the Holy Place, I'm sure that Temple Master Iceberg won't hesitate to attack me once he gets the chance," Jian Wushuang muttered.
When he was in the palace, he had already noticed the killing intent in Temple Master Iceberg's eyes.
Compared to Emperor Golden Snake, Temple Master Iceberg was much more difficult to deal with. Moreover, Temple Master Iceberg was not only overbearing, but also very hypocritical, which made him even more difficult to deal with.
"Although Emperor Golden Snake also wanted to kill me, he did it to avenge his son. What's more, he killed me directly. His actions could be regarded as honorable, but Temple Master Iceberg …" Jian Wushuang's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Strength!"
Jian Wushuang clenched his fists and growled. His heart was filled with unwillingness.
Temple Master Iceberg had forced Jian Wushuang to have a Life-death Duel with Emperor Golden Snake, and now he was being pressured by Temple Master Iceberg. However, Jian Wushuang could only suppress his anger. To put it bluntly, he was weaker than Temple Master Iceberg.
His strength had reached a bottleneck. If he wanted to improve significantly, he would have to gather nine wisps of Origin Force and soar into the Nine Clouds.
Other than this, Jian Wushuang still wanted to improve his strength. He could only rely on the Bone Fusion Technique and his own Sword Dao.
Jian Wushuang immediately went to the Monster-exterminating Pagoda to exchange for the tenth level of the Bone Fusion Technique.
The 10th level was extremely precious and required more Monster Elixirs. Fortunately, Jian Wushuang had obtained enough Monster Elixirs from Emperor Golden Snake's Interspatial Ring after killing him.
As for the 11th and 12th levels of the Bone Fusion Technique, even if he had enough Monster Elixirs, he could not exchange for them.
The 11th and 12th levels of the Bone Fusion Technique were extremely valuable in the Monster-exterminating League, so the Monster-exterminating Pagoda did not have them.
There was only one way to obtain them. That was to go to the fifth level of the Earth Core Palace, where the Holy Object was located, and meditate on it.
However, the threshold to enter the fifth level was extremely high. Although Jian Wushuang was a Divine Emperor, he was not qualified to enter the fifth level.
After returning to his residence, Jian Wushuang immediately began to cultivate the 10th level of the Bone Fusion Technique.
The higher the level of the Bone Fusion Technique, the more difficult it was to cultivate. Jian Wushuang had spent half a month to cultivate the 9th level.
The 10th level was even more difficult than the 9th level.
For Jian Wushuang, it would take him some time and energy to cultivate the 10th level.
Time passed slowly …
In the secret intelligence gathering place of the monster spies.
In the dim palace, the black-robed elder was frowning as he read a message that had just arrived.
"It's been two months. Sword Emperor has been staying in the Holy Place all this time?"
The black-robed elder used all his energy and even mobilized all the forces of the Monster Clan in the Human Territory to monitor Jian Wushuang.
Although Jian Wushuang had been staying in the Holy Place, the black-robed elder was aware of his every move.
"Sword Emperor exchanged for the 10th level of the Bone Fusion Technique in the Monster-exterminating Pagoda two months ago. He has been cultivating in seclusion for the past two months. I thought he would leave the Holy Place and go to the military camp or the Monster Territory after becoming a Divine Emperor. But now, it seems that he will only leave after he has cultivated the 10th level of the Bone Fusion Technique!"
"Even among the Temple Masters in the Monster-exterminating League, only a few have cultivated the 10th level of the Bone Fusion Technique. Sword Emperor is only a Saint Realm expert. Who knows how long it will take him to cultivate the 10th level?" The black-robed elder muttered to himself.
If it were any other time, he would not mind waiting for a while. But this time, Crystal-armored Monster Emperor had personally ordered him to do so.
In the past two months, Crystal-armored Monster Emperor had sent him messages three times, which showed how much Crystal-armored Monster Emperor cared about the compass.
If he did not act soon, Crystal-armored Monster Emperor would go crazy.
"I can't keep waiting for him to leave the Holy Place. It seems that I have to use some means to force him out of the Holy Place." The black-robed elder pondered. Soon, he picked up a piece of information on the table.
It recorded everything that had happened to Jian Wushuang after he came to the Monster Continent.
It was mentioned that Jian Wushuang had been rescued in the Wu Yan Tribe at the beginning.
"The Wu Yan Tribe …" The black-robed elder's expression changed.
According to the information, Jian Wushuang had lived in the Wu Yan Tribe for more than a month. After he left, he claimed to be a member of the Wu Yan Tribe to hide his identity as an outsider. Jian Wushuang seemed to have a good relationship with the Wu Yan Tribe.
"Let's use the Wu Yan Tribe as an example." The black-robed elder sneered. "If the Wu Yan Tribe is in danger of being destroyed, I don't believe that Sword Emperor can stay in the Holy Place and cultivate."
The black-robed elder immediately went to pass the order.
…
Three days later, in the Green Hillock Tribe in the Human Territory.
The Green Hillock Tribe was next to the Wu Yan Tribe. When Jian Wushuang stayed in the Wu Yan Tribe, the Wu Yan Tribe caught a monster spy from the Green Hillock Tribe.
It was night and the world was quiet.
Five figures slowly walked toward the Green Hillock Tribe.
"Remember, our mission is to make an example out of the Green Hillock Tribe. Do it cleanly and cruelly. We have to scare the Wu Yan Tribe. The Wu Yan Tribe will definitely ask for help from the Sword Emperor in the Holy Place. That's what we want!"
"Understood."
