"Is … is there a problem?"
The saintess wanted to cry but no tears came out. There was more than a problem, there was a huge problem!
What I gave you was the second level of treasures. How could the Grass of the Netherworld and the relic be here?!
The saintess screamed silently and snatched over the scroll. Then, she felt like she was struck by lightning.
The shocking names flashed before her eyes. Every time she saw one, her head got heavier. In the end, she was about to faint.
She finally understood why the Great Sun Netherworld Herb and Ancient Buddhist Relic would appear on the list of treasures on the second level. It was because she'd taken the wrong list!
This wasn't the second level, it was the first level!
The saintess wanted to cry but no tears came out. She squeezed out a smile that looked uglier than crying and said with difficulty, "Se … Senior, I am sorry. I took the wrong list."
"You took the wrong list?" Ling Xian was a little startled. Then, he frowned.
The wrong list meant the treasures the saintess wanted him to pick were on another list. In other words, he could no longer get the Grass of the Netherworld and the relic.
The latter wasn't a big deal. But the former, he had to get it!
"Are you planning on going back on your words?"
Ling Xian glared at the woman and said, "I asked you before if I could pick any two items I wanted. You were the one who swore that there was no problem."
"Senior, I was too careless. Can you please take a step back?"
The saintess bitterly smiled. She didn't think such a simple thing would cause such a huge accident.
"Take a step back?" Ling Xian frowned and thought about it, "Okay, I only want the Grass of the Netherworld. Is that okay?"
Hearing this, the saintess shook her head.
She had the right to decide the ownership of the second level of treasures. She could even choose 200 of them. But for the first level of treasures, even if there was only one, she had no right to decide.
Therefore, she carefully looked at Ling Xian and whispered, "Senior, can you pretend you never saw this list? I will change it for you. You can choose 200 of them. "
"Are two hundred of them worth a single Great Sun Nether Grass?"
Ling Xian's expression was calm, "I understand now. You are going back on your words."
"Senior, I …" The Holy Maiden smiled bitterly, at a loss for words.
"There's no need to say anything else. I only have one question for you. Are you going to give me the Great Sun Netherworld Grass or not?"
Ling Xian said emotionlessly. The Saintess's heart was full of bitterness and shame.
She was the one who took out the wrong list. It had nothing to do with Ling Xian. She was the one who told him to pick whatever he wanted. Yet now, she was going back on her words. How could she not feel ashamed?
"My Devil Sect's treasures are divided into four levels. Originally, I wanted to let Senior choose from the second level. I have full authority over the treasures of this level."
"How could I have expected that I would get the wrong list? I don't have the authority to decide the treasures of the first level."
"Only if I, the Sect Master, and all the Grand Elders agree to it."
The Holy Maiden smiled bitterly, "If Senior insists on taking the Great Sun Netherworld Grass, I can only try my best to convince the Sect Leader and Grand Elder. As for whether they will agree, I cannot guarantee."
Hearing this, Ling Xian silenced.
In the territory of the Demon Sect, he could not snatch it, so the Holy Maiden's suggestion was the only way.
"Oh well, go ahead and tell them. I can accept bartering." Ling Xian softly sighed. His joy turned into disappointment.
However, he still felt lucky. At least there was hope.
"Okay, Senior, I am sorry." The Holy Maiden bowed down, full of shame.
"The word 'sorry' means nothing. If you truly feel guilty, then let's get this done." Ling Xian brandished his hand.
The Holy Maiden nodded, "I will try my best. With your identity as a Grand Elder, I believe the Sect Leader and the Grand Elders will agree."
"I hope so."
Ling Xian softly sighed. He was no Grand Elder. If he doesn't expose himself, there might be hope. But if he is exposed, his life may be forfeit.
"Senior, wait for my good news. Even if I have to sacrifice my face, I will get this done." The Holy Maiden gritted her teeth and left.
Seeing this, Ling Xian frowned and began to think.
He felt like he had to be prepared and not place all his hopes on the Holy Maiden.
No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't think of any good ideas. Other than waiting, he could steal.
The former was not reliable and the latter was even more impossible. The powerhouses here were more terrifying than those on the Holy Island. If Dao Wangu was here, then he might have a chance. But he was not realistic.
"I can only disguise myself. With the Grand Elder's identity and the Holy Maiden's persuasion, those people will give me some face."
Ling Xian frowned and no longer thought about this. Instead, he focused on the demonic House's plan to conquer the world.
It was obvious that the demonic House had something to rely on. Or else they wouldn't be arrogant enough to declare war against the entire continent.
"Just what is he relying on? Could it be related to the Heavenly Demons?"
Ling Xian frowned and pondered. This had nothing to do with him. He wasn't from the Xuan Wu Continent, so it didn't matter who won or lost.
However, if the demonic House's reliance was related to the Sky Demons, then he would have to intervene.
This had nothing to do with hatred, it had to do with stance.
Ever since they were born, they have been on opposing sides. Even if they don't want to get involved, they will be dragged into it.
"I hope it isn't the Sky Demons. Or else I will be in trouble."
Ling Xian softly sighed and marched into the palace. He waited patiently.
Three days later, the Holy Maiden returned with two others. One was a middle-aged man, the other was a grey-haired elder.
The man was extraordinarily handsome like a demon or a God. His demonic energy was enough to swallow the mountains and rivers.
The elder was eerie and had a Black Water Serpent wrapped around his waist, a Gold Silk Spider on his forehead, and a Silver Hook Scorpion on his arm.
The moment the two of them arrived, Ling Xian's body tensed up and his eyes were full of seriousness.
What could he do? Though the two of them didn't reveal their Qi, how sensitive was his Qi? He could tell right away that these two were at the peak of the seventh level!
Therefore, Ling Xian called out to the Primitive Cosmic Technique and waited.
"It seems like you have seen through our cultivation level."
The middle-aged man chuckled. His eyes were like black holes that had the ability to confuse people.
One look was all it took for Ling Xian to fall into a trance.
But in the next second, he broke free.
This surprised the middle-aged man and he complimented, "You got rid of my technique in an instant. Not bad."
Hearing this, Ling Xian didn't speak. He silently recited the Incantation of a Calm Heart to prevent this person from attacking again.
"Not bad. I just don't know if you can stop my snake's poison."
The elder spoke coldly. The Black Water Serpent around his waist raised its head and spat out its venom.
Instantly, the space around him melted, making the Holy Maiden's expression change.
This was far too terrifying. It could even melt space. If it landed on a person, wouldn't that person turn into a puddle of blood?
However, Ling Xian was unfazed.
To anyone else, this poison was more terrifying than the man's technique. But to him, this poison paled in comparison to the man's technique. He didn't even need to defend himself.
Therefore, he didn't defend and allowed the poison to land on him.
This made the Holy Maiden's face turn white. The man and the elder were a little shaken as well.
