Duan Lingtian wanted to restrain her, yet it was already too late.
This little girl, Xue Nai, had always been outspoken and unforgiving.
"Little girl, be careful that trouble comes from a loose tongue!"
The green-clothed old man's face sank slightly as he suddenly looked at Han Xuenai, and killing intent flashed within his muddy eyes.
"Trouble comes from a loose tongue? Old Bastard, I … "
How could Han Xuenai endure it when she heard the old man's threat, and she instantly exploded with rage.
"Xue Nai!"
Meanwhile, Duan Lingtian stretched out his hand to grab Han Xuenai's hand, and he lightly shook his head to her as he said via voice transmission at the same time. "There's no need to lower yourself to his level … Moreover, this old fellow's strength isn't bad. We'll just seize whatever treasure he finds after he enters the Sword Monarch's Treasure."
"Killing him now isn't worth it."
Duan Lingtian's words caused Han Xuenai's expression to ease up, and she grunted. "Old Bastard, this Young Miss won't fuss about it with you out of consideration for Big Brother Ling Tian!"
At the same time, traces of an excited sheen were mixed within Han Xuenai's eyes, and she said via voice transmission to Duan Lingtian, "Big Brother Ling Tian, you're right … We'll seize the treasure from this old bastard after he finds it, and we'll kill him after angering him to the point of spitting blood!"
Han Xuenai's voice transmission caused Duan Lingtian to feel a chill run down his spine, and he couldn't help but observe a moment of silence for the green-clothed old man.
This old fellow could offend anyone, yet he dared to offend this little she-devil.
"You!!"
The old man was angered to the point his face went grim and his body trembled when he was reprimanded by a young girl at the age of 15 or 16.
When he saw the old man about to flare up, the nearby Dong Ming hurriedly restrained him. "Elder Hu, since this Young Miss has already taken a step back, then why continue fuss about it with her … Forget it."
"Hmph!"
Elder Hu grunted coldly, and he listened to Dong Ming in the end and didn't flare up again.
Duan Lingtian glanced indifferently at the old man.
The old man's cultivation was unable to conceal itself before his Spiritual Force.
This old man was an existence at the eighth level of the Void Initiation Stage.
In terms of strength.
It was the same as the Grand Elder of the Tang Family who was frozen by Han Xuenai and killed by Duan Lingtian two days ago.
At this moment, the valley regained its peace.
The two middle-aged men in embroidered clothes standing at the side were now sizing up Duan Lingtian and Han Xuenai from head to toe. Their eyes revealed a strange luster that was difficult to distinguish.
No one knew what he was thinking.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
One figure after another descended from the top of the valley.
Not long after, the remaining five groups of people arrived as scheduled.
These people were all in groups of two or two.
Now, when the other five groups of people appeared, they couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the combination of Duan Lingtian and Han Xuenai.
"They are also jade sword owners?"
For a moment, many people couldn't help but be curious.
"Youngsters, do you really have jade swords in your hands?"
In next to no time, someone looked at Duan Lingtian and asked with a doubtful expression.
Duan Lingtian didn't say anything, and with a raise of his hand, he withdrew the jade sword that belonged to him from his Spatial Ring before waving it before the person that doubted him.
Instantly, that person was speechless.
"Young man, if I was you, I'd look for a senior to go with you to the Sword Monarch's Treasure … You're truly too rash."
A green clothed old man that was comparatively kinder shook his head and sighed.
The dangers of the Sword Monarch's Treasure was something no one could predict.
It was precisely because of this that no one dared underestimate the dangers within the Sword Monarch's Treasure.
The unknown was undoubtedly the most terrifying.
Under these circumstances, the stronger one's strength was, the higher the chances one had of surviving and obtaining a fortuitous encounter of one's own.
"Thank you for the reminder, Senior."
Duan Lingtian smiled gratefully towards the green clothed old man's reminder. "But I know what I'm doing, so there's no need for Senior to worry."
"Has the others brought jade swords?"
Meanwhile, another person withdrew a jade sword and asked the others.
For a time, the other seven groups of people each withdrew a jade sword and displayed it before the eyes of everyone.
Nine jade swords were gathered together.
Right at this moment.
"Eh?"
Duan Lingtian noticed that the jade sword in his hand had suddenly started trembling, and it seemed as if it had received the call of something, and it urgently wanted to leave his hand.
On the other hand, the jade swords in the hands of the other eight people were more or less the same.
The nine jade swords were trembling now, and every single jade sword pointed towards the same direction …
Precisely speaking, it was at the same 'point.'
"According to legend, once the nine swords combine into one, they'll be able to transform into a completely new jade sword that leads us to the Sword Monarch's Treasure!"
Meanwhile, Dong Ming who held a jade sword spoke out. "Everyone, how about we combine the nine swords now and look for the Sword Monarch's Treasure together?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Ming glanced at the surroundings.
"I have no objections."
Duan Lingtian shrugged with an indifferent expression.
"I have no objections as well."
"I have no objections."
…
For a time, besides Dong Ming who'd made this suggestion, another five people that held jade swords shook their heads.
Including Duan Lingtian and Dong Ming, a total of seven people agreed to directly combine the nine swords and search for the Sword Monarch's Treasure.
Only the other two people that held jade swords hadn't made a stand.
One of them was one of the two middle aged men that'd arrived at the gorge since long ago.
The other person was an emaciated old man with a short figure and a pair of cross-eyed eyes.
"Hmm?"
Meanwhile, Duan Lingtian noticed that the middle aged man and emaciated old man had suddenly glanced at each other before nodding at the same time.
They seemed to have come to some sort of agreement.
Subsequently, Duan Lingtian noticed.
The two middle aged men, the emaciated old man, and the grey clothed old woman by the emaciated old man's side looked at him at the same time.
Precisely speaking, they were looking at him and Han Xuenai who was by his side.
"What do all of you want to do?!"
Dong Ming's expression went slightly grim.
"Nothing … I just feel that some people don't have the qualifications to hold jade swords. Why don't you hand over the jade swords and give up two spots? "
The middle aged man that held the jade sword shook his head as he looked at Duan Lingtian.
It was as if he was narrating something that wasn't important.
"Exactly!"
The emaciated old man that similarly held a jade sword nodded in agreement. "I have a friend in the Eastern Mulberry Empire's Imperial City … I originally didn't intend to bring him along. But since there are two spots left now, I intend to call him along. "
"He's an existence at the seventh level of the Void Initiation Stage, and if he enters the Sword Monarch's Treasure with us … It'll be extremely helpful to us."
The emaciated old man's words caused many people that had grim expressions earlier to heave a sigh of relief.
Yeah.
They didn't know what dangers were within the Sword Monarch's Treasure.
But they could be sure of one thing.
The stronger one's strength was, the higher one's chances of survival would be.
For a time, the gazes of most people descended onto Duan Lingtian and Han Xuenai.
Perhaps, in their eyes, even if a violet clothed young man around the age of 25 and a yellow clothed young woman around the age of 15 or 16 entered the Sword Monarch's Treasure, they would be of no help to them and would only drag them down.
But even though the others felt like this, they didn't speak out and only watched coldly from the sidelines as the situation developed.
Dong Ming was included amongst these people.
After a short moment, Duan Lingtian and Han Xuenai were surrounded by the middle aged man, emaciated old man, and grey clothed old woman in four corners.
Four gazes stared fiercely at the jade sword in Duan Lingtian's hand.
"Kid, if you hand over the jade sword now and leave right away … We can spare your life."
"Exactly! So long as you hand over the jade sword and give up those two spots, there's no enmity between us, so there's no need for us to make a move against you. "
"Kid, put down the jade sword and fuck off if you're sensible!"
…
The four of them looked at Duan Lingtian, and their words were filled with threats.
The atmosphere within the gorge was ready to fight.
Of course, there were another five groups of people that were watching the show.
"Brother Ling Tian!"
Dong Ming who stood nearby frowned, and he was unable to continue watching in the end, so he took a step forward with the intention of rescuing Duan Lingtian.
"Dong Ming!"
Meanwhile, the green clothed old man by Dong Ming's side stopped Dong Ming. "Don't get involved in this mess! Otherwise, I won't forgive you. "
Dong Ming's figure stiffened as he glanced at Duan Lingtian with guilt, and then he sighed before withdrawing his footsteps in the end.
This scene was clearly noticed by Duan Lingtian.
At the same time that warmth arose in his heart, he couldn't help but be slightly enraged …
Of course, his rage was directed towards the green clothed old man.
"Brother Ling Tian, give the jade sword to them … No matter what's within the Sword Monarch's Treasure, it's all fake. Only your own life is real, and it's the most important! "
Dong Ming's voice transmission sounded out by Duan Lingtian's ears.
Dong Ming wanted to persuade Duan Lingtian to give up the jade sword and leave.
Duan Lingtian naturally knew that Dong Ming had good intentions.
"No matter what, amongst all the people present, only you have the intention to help me and persuade me … I, Duan Lingtian, will remember this favor."
Duan Lingtian nodded to Dong Ming, and then he sent a voice transmission before changing the topic. "But, not just anyone has 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's confidence came from.
No matter how strong the natural talent of a young man that looked to be around the age of 25 was, at most, a martial artist that had just entered 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, I'll give you another five breaths of time to consider … At that time, if you still haven't put down the jade sword in your hand, then you and this little girl will die for sure!"
The middle aged man in embroidered clothes that held the jade sword threatened with a grim voice.
"You're still young and have a great life ahead of you … There's no need to lose your life for a jade sword."
The emaciated old man looked at Duan Lingtian with an expressionless face, and even though his tone was flat, it concealed killing intent.
Even when facing the threat of another, Duan Lingtian's expression was still calm as before, and his expression wouldn't change even if Mount Tai collapsed before him.
Subsequently, Duan Lingtian looked at Han Xuenai who was by his side and asked with a smile. "Xue Nai, someone wants to seize our jade sword and seize our position to enter the Sword Monarch's Treasure … What do you think we should do?"
No one noticed that early on when the two middle aged men in embroidered clothes, the emaciated old man, and the grey clothed old woman had surrounded them.
