In the stone room, the ruler, cauldron, and flag, these three world-shocking magic treasures circulated with divine light, dazzling to the eye. With one look, one could tell that they were definitely not ordinary items. They must be extremely powerful magical treasures!
But no one looked at them anymore.
Ji Qian Bai and everyone's gazes were fixated on Ling Xian. Other than shock, there was only passion.
The Soaring Key!
Just these four words were enough to make everyone in the world go crazy, and they were no exception.
"Damn it!"
Ling Xian's expression darkened. Looking at the heated faces of the original leveled cultivators, he said coldly, "Supreme Headmaster, didn't you already promise me? Are you going to go back on your words?"
"If it's something else, I'll let you take it. However, the Soaring Key is out of the question. You have to leave it behind. "
Ji Qian Bai's eyes were burning with passion, and so were the others.
Obviously, for the sake of the Soaring Key, they couldn't care less about their promise, let alone their face.
This made Ling Xian's heart sink to the bottom of an abyss. At the same time, he felt angry.
In order for him to break open the stone door, Ji Qian Bai and the others had already agreed, but now they were going back on their words. This was not only burning the bridge after crossing the river, but also breaking their promise!
If it was anyone else, they would be furious!
"Good, very good. Looks like you don't want that face anymore."
Ling Xian's expression turned cold. He knew that there was no way this would end well. Therefore, he scolded mercilessly, "Burning the bridge after crossing the river and not keeping your promise. Is this how the Shang Qing Sect does things? Is this the style of you Nascent Soul experts? "
Hearing this, Ji Qian Bai and them didn't look awkward. Instead, their faces turned dark and their eyes were full of killer's intent.
"Xian Ling, you are a pupil of the Shang Qing Sect. I am giving you face by allowing you to take the treasures. If I don't allow you to take them, then you better get the f * ck out of my way!"
"The Soaring Key is of great importance. You are not qualified to possess it. Hand it over. Since you have helped the Shang Qing Sect, we will spare your life. "
"A wise man submits to circumstances. Xian Ling, you better think this through. Don't make a mistake."
Everyone chimed in. Their words sounded like they were trying to persuade Ling Xian, but in reality, they were full of killer's intent and threats!
What did he mean by 'if I don't let him take it, I'll have to scram'?
What did he mean by not being qualified to have it?
What did it mean to submit to circumstances?
The more Ling Xian listened, the angrier he got. His deep eyes were full of coldness, "What a group of people from the upper echelons of the Shang Qing Sect. What a group of original leveled cultivators. I have finally seen through your ugly faces."
"I can't believe you still remember that I helped the Shang Qing Sect. Yet now, you want to bite the hand that fed you. What a shameless bunch!"
Ling Xian was burning with anger. He once helped the Shang Qing Sect by turning the Array of the Astonished Gods into a half-spiritual being. Not only did he protect the array, but he also increased the Shang Qing Sect's capabilities.
This was a great favor!
Yet before his eyes, these people were being ungrateful. How shameless was this? How could he not be angry?
"Hmph!"
Ji Qian Bai humphed coldly, the coldness in his eyes intensified.
Everyone else reacted the same way. Only the Leader of the Path of Arrays softly sighed. There was some shame on his old face.
Honestly speaking, Ling Xian had done the Shang Qing Sect a great favor. Without him, the Array of the Astonished Gods wouldn't have successfully transformed. If the transformation had failed, then the Shang Qing Sect's capabilities would've greatly decreased. But after he helped, the Shang Qing Sect's capabilities didn't decrease. Instead, it increased. How great of a favor was this?
Yet now, they were attacking their benefactor. Why wouldn't the Leader of the Path of Arrays feel ashamed?
Sadly, other than him, nobody else was at all ashamed.
Yes, they were indebted. But compared to the Soaring Key, what was it? It was enough for them to throw away their pride.
Moreover, they were used to being domineering. Being amiable to those of a lower position was just a kind of gift. Their nature was to be unreasonable. As long as they were weaker than them, they had to listen to their orders!
"Xian Ling, I am telling you to hand it over. Hand it over. Or else don't blame me for killing you!"
"The Shang Qing Sect has trained you for so many years. You have already repaid that favor. Don't use this against us!"
"Less bullsh * t. So what if we are bullying you? So what if we are biting the hand that feeds us? I can kill you with the lift of my hand! "
Everyone chimed in. They decided to shed all pretense of cordiality and gave up on the last piece of cloth.
This infuriated Ling Xian. He glanced around coldly, "You've trained me for so many years? You dare to say something like that? Let me ask you, after all these years, have you ever given me any inheritance? "
"Have you ever given me a spiritual Dan?"
"Have you ever given me a spiritual stone?"
"Everything I acquired from the Shang Qing Sect, I acquired it with my own two hands. What does that have to do with you?"
A series of questions arose, making Ji Qian Bai and them speechless. However, the coldness in their eyes intensified.
They couldn't say anything to argue back. Because Ling Xian was right. Not only did he not receive any special treatment from the Shang Qing Sect, he was the one who helped the Shang Qing Sect!
However, they were used to being overbearing. Words that should have made them feel ashamed were making their killer's intent boil.
HOMMMM!
Ji Qian Bai stepped forward one step. Heavenly Qi poured out of him and shook up the entire underground palace. He stared at Ling Xian coldly, "Let's not waste any more time. I will only ask you one thing. Are you going to hand over the Soaring Key or not?"
"Then I will also only ask you one thing."
Ling Xian's expression was cold as he uttered out a statement that made everyone's killer's intent boil.
"I am not handing it over."
At those words, waves of killer's intent shot through the sky. The coldness dropped the temperature of the stone room to freezing point.
"You are seeking death!"
"You are merely a completion leveled cultivator and you dare to act so presumptuously towards us? You sure are tired of living. "
"I am giving you face by asking you to hand it over. Or else I will kill you right away."
The four peak leaders' eyes revealed their killer's intent. They wanted to say something more but were interrupted by Ling Xian.
"All of you, shut up!"
Ling Xian shouted and glanced around coldly, "A group of treacherous, treacherous, and shameless people. What right do you have to scold me?"
At those words, the four peak leaders were infuriated. Rays of terrifying Qi slammed onto Ling Xian.
Unable to defend, Ling Xian puked out a mouthful of blood and slammed into the stone wall.
What could he do? Those were four original leveled powerhouses. His clone was only of the intermediate stage of the completion level. Naturally, he couldn't defend against them!
"Now you know the difference between us and you."
Ji Qian Bai said emotionlessly, "There are eight original leveled cultivators. Even if there is only one of us, you won't be able to escape."
"Ehem, ehem, you are right. I cannot escape by myself." Ling Xian puked out two mouthfuls of blood. His anger was boiling and his killer's intent was boiling.
He knew that it would be very difficult for him to walk out today. But what he felt the most wasn't hopelessness, it was anger!
These people burned the bridge after crossing the river, went back on their word, and repaid kindness with ingratitude. Furthermore, they didn't have the slightest bit of shame. If it was anyone else, they would be seething with anger!
"It's good that you know. Hand over the Soaring Key and let me place an inhibition spell on you. Then, I will spare your worthless life."
Ji Qian Bai's expression was cold and he didn't think anything of Ling Xian.
The others reacted the same. Their faces were full of sarcasm and disdain. They were certain that Ling Xian would hand over the Soaring Key and become the Shang Qing Sect's slave!
Ling Xian responded with only one statement. A statement that was full of anger and killer's intent.
"Demon, kill him!"
