"It's you …"
The leader of the Xiao Clan frowned, "I wonder what brings you here in the middle of the night?"
"I am here for the treasure map." Ling Xian's expression was calm.
"What map? I don't know what you are talking about. "The leader of the Xiao Clan pretended to be calm. However, his tightly clenched fists revealed his restlessness.
"Why do you ask when you already know the answer?"
Ling Xian grinned, "If you can find out that the key to the treasure is on the Green Dragon Mountain, then of course I know the map is at the Xiao Clan."
Hearing this, the leader of the Xiao Clan's expression darkened, "You sure are capable to find out that the treasure map is at the Xiao Clan."
"I am merely an errand boy."
Ling Xian grinned, "Leader of the Xiao Clan, please return the map to its owner."
"What a joke. The treasure of the Dayin Clan is ownerless." The leader of the Xiao Clan snickered.
"Lin Yingmei is the descendant of the Dayin Clan, so she is the owner of the treasure." Ling Xian spoke softly, "I don't need to teach you such simple logic."
"So the person behind you is Lin Yingmei."
The leader of the Xiao Clan's expression was heavy, "Even if she is the descendant of the royal family, I will not give you the map."
"Then we will have to fight."
Ling Xian's gaze was deep. Though he was not at all Qi, the leader of the Xiao Clan's expression turned heavy.
Whether it was Ling Xian destroying the Lian Tian Stronghold by himself or defeating the descendants of the five clans, seven Houses, and nine hidden sects, they all proved his powerfulness. He was definitely one of the best of the best!
"Lin Yingmei is merely a second rate powerhouse. Rather than ally with her, why don't you ally with the Xiao Clan."
"What she can give you, the Xiao Clan can give you as well. We can give you more."
The leader of the Xiao Clan gave Ling Xian a long look, "Why are you turning to the dark side?"
"The Xiao Clan can give me more. But there is one thing you cannot give me."
"Loyalty."
Ling Xian grinned, "I promised Lin Yingmei first and I always keep my promises."
"You better think carefully. I admit you are strong, but I am not a pushover." The leader of the Xiao Clan's expression was heavy like water.
The middle-aged man was the same. Although he was not as strong as the Xiao Family Patriarch, he was still a top-notch existence among first-rate experts.
"Half a month ago, you weren't. But now, you are." Ling Xian faintly smiled. In front of a true grandmaster, even 10 half-step grandmasters were no match.
"How arrogant!"
The head of the Xiao Clan sneered, "Do you think that you are a grandmaster?"
"I don't think I am. I am the grandmaster," Ling Xian glared at the leader of the Xiao Clan, "hand over the map. I don't want to fight."
"Hahaha, what a joke!"
The head of the Xiao Clan laughed out loud and said, "Half a month ago, you were still a top-notch expert. How could you have broken through to the Grandmaster Realm in half a month?"
"If you don't believe me, you can try," Ling Xian said softly. His white robe fluttered in the wind.
"You will regret it." The Xiao Family's leader's expression turned cold. He raised his hand and struck out with great force.
At the same time, the middle-aged man also attacked.
The two of them were top-notch existences among first-rate experts. Even a Half-Zongshi would be shaken by their combined might.
However, Ling Xian's expression remained calm and collected.
He merely flapped his sleeve and the two of them began to bleed from the corner of their mouths. They stumbled back a few steps.
It was as if they weren't two first-rate experts, but two leaves.
"Grandmaster! You have reached the Grandmaster Realm! "The leader of the Xiao Clan looked like he had just seen a ghost. His face was full of fear.
The middle-aged man reacted the same way.
Half a month ago, Ling Xian was merely a first-rate expert. Yet now, he had become a Grandmaster. This was unbelievable!
"Now, do you believe me?" Ling Xian said softly.
"Impossible! How could you become a Grandmaster in half a month? "The leader of the Xiao Clan stared deadly at Ling Xian. Other than shock, there was fear.
The battle before had proven Ling Xian's capabilities. Even if the Xiao Clan sent out all their powerhouses, they would still be no match for him.
"What's the point of lying to yourself?" Ling Xian glared at the leader of the Xiao Clan.
"You!" The leader of the Xiao Clan clenched his teeth but had nothing to say.
The truth was before him. No matter how hard it was to believe, he had to accept it.
"Hand over the map. You have no choice." Ling Xian's expression was emotionless. There were only two paths before the leader of the Xiao Clan. Hand over the map or die.
"I can die." The leader of the Xiao Clan snickered.
"If you choose to die, will the rest of the Xiao Clan choose to die as well?"
"I believe you are not the only one who knows the location of the map."
Ling Xian spoke softly, "Rather than letting someone else tell me, why don't you tell me? At least you can keep your life."
Hearing this, the leader of the Xiao Clan was silent.
Ling Xian's every word was reasonable. He had no words to argue.
"I cannot believe you stepped into the Grandmaster Realm within half a month." The leader of the Xiao Clan smiled bitterly. He has been training for 15 years and has yet to break through to the Grandmaster Realm.
Yet Ling Xian only used 15 days. How could he not be shocked?
Without exaggerating, if this news gets out, everyone in the martial world will feel bitter.
This was unbelievable. Throughout history, nobody has ever gone from a first-rate expert to the Grandmaster Realm within 15 days!
"Oh well, I will give you the map." The leader of the Xiao Clan sighed.
"The right decision."
Ling Xian softly grinned and said meaningfully, "After we get the map, we will mind our own business. If you are not satisfied, then don't blame me for being cruel."
"I don't dare."
The leader of the Xiao Clan smiled bitterly, "You are a Grandmaster. Even if the Xiao Clan does everything we can, we are no opponent of yours."
"That would be for the best." Ling Xian's expression was emotionless, "Give me the map."
"Yes." The leader of the Xiao Clan sighed. Ling Xian was already a Grandmaster. Other than handing over the map, he had no other choice.
Immediately, he opened the secret room and took out a scroll made of sheepskin.
Then, he handed the scroll to Ling Xian, "This is the Pavilion of Treasures. Please take a look."
"You better not be lying to me." Ling Xian put away the map and did not look at it.
He has never seen the map before. If the leader of the Xiao Clan wanted to fake it, he would not be able to tell.
"I don't dare to lie to you." The leader of the Xiao Clan sighed. Ling Xian was a Grandmaster. In the entire martial arts world, there weren't many like him. Why would he dare to lie to him?
"I hope you don't do anything stupid. Otherwise, you will harm yourself and the Xiao Clan." Ling Xian stared at the leader of the Xiao Clan and left.
Now that the map was in his hands, it was time for him to return to the Green Dragon Mountain.
"Leader, are we just going to swallow this?" The middle-aged man's eyes were full of hatred. The Xiao Clan was one of the five Clans. They have never been humiliated like this.
"Of course not."
The leader of the Xiao Clan's eyes were cold, "We may not be able to get our hands on the treasures of the previous dynasty, but he won't be able to either."
"Leader, you mean we should spread the news and let the entire world know?" The middle-aged man's eyes brightened.
"That's right."
The leader of the Xiao Clan's face was dark, "When the time comes, all the forces in the world will gather at the previous dynasty's treasury. Let's see how he gets what he wants!"
