"That's impossible!"
A furious roar was heard as Wu Jitian strode forward, completely ignoring the people around him. His broad palm reached out from his sleeve and snatched the black Storage Ring from Chen Zhen's hand.
Seeing that he was about to obtain the Sky Extinction Steps, how could he allow anything to go wrong? Even if there wasn't anything, he had to check it himself!
Holding the storage ring in his hand, Wu Jitian's soul power immediately surged into the storage ring in his hand with a thought. He carefully inspected the space inside inch by inch.
But after a long while, Wu Jitian, who was originally full of doubts, became even more gloomy.
Under the probing of Wu Jitian's Spiritual Sense, Xiao Yan's Storage Ring was indeed as Chen Zhen had said. He did not find any trace of the 'Sky Absolute Steps'.
"How is this possible! Ghost Manor clearly said that the Sky Extinction Steps is on this kid, but why isn't it here?! "
Wu Jitian's face was filled with disbelief as he stared at Xiao Yan. The storage ring in his palm emitted a creaking sound. Fortunately, it was made of a special material and was not forcefully crushed by Wu Jitian.
"Kid! Tell me, where did you hide the Sky Extinction Steps! "
Wu Jitian snorted angrily. He stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Yan's neck. He lifted Xiao Yan up like a little chick and spoke sternly with his face close to Xiao Yan's.
Xiao Yan's pale face quickly turned red as Wu Jitian grabbed his neck. He held onto Wu Jitian's wrist, which was twice as thick as his. His scarlet eyes stared at Wu Jitian's ferocious face as he shook his head with great difficulty. A hoarse voice was forcefully squeezed out from between his teeth.
"I … don't … know … how …"
"You're courting death!"
Xiao Yan's words obviously enraged the hot-tempered Wu Jitian. He tightened his grip on Xiao Yan's neck and the sound of his neck being crushed could be heard continuously. Xiao Yan's head fell back uncontrollably as blood spurted out from the corner of his mouth and flowed down to Wu Jitian's palm.
"Hmph!"
Stimulated by the scarlet blood, Wu Jitian's body flashed. In the blink of an eye, he landed on the edge of the city wall that was on the verge of collapse.
Xiao Yan's body swayed uncontrollably under Wu Jitian's palm. At the next moment, a glint flashed across Wu Jitian's eyes. With a deep roar, Wu Jitian's slightly bent arm shot out like a cannonball, while Xiao Yan's body was smashed deep into the city wall by the tremendous force.
"Boom …"
After this attack, the city wall, which could not bear the heavy burden, finally collapsed with a loud bang.
Huge rocks smashed onto Wu Jitian's body, but the latter did not move at all. His body shook, and an invisible force field swept out, crushing all the rocks around him.
"Hmph! Speak, where is the Sky Extinguishing Steps?! "
Wu Jitian said in a low and deep voice as he indifferently looked at the weak aura of Xiao Yan in front of him.
However, Xiao Yan still shook his head with great difficulty in the face of this.
"Bastard! Are you courting death?! "
With a furious roar, Wu Jitian violently flung Xiao Yan away. After several violent collisions, Xiao Yan finally landed in front of the Withered Leaf Sect's sect leader, Ye Luotian.
He wore a silver headband on his head, and his silver hair was tied up and scattered behind his back. His face was amiable and rosy, and his pair of turbid old eyes shone with a wise light. The smile at the corner of his mouth made people have an inexplicable good impression of him.
When faced with Xiao Yan, Ye Luotian did not use violence to resolve the problem like the few people in front of him. In comparison, he was quite gentle. He was as amiable as a kind old grandfather.
"Ha ha, Xiao Yan, I advise you to hand over the Sky Extinguishing Steps. After all, your life is the most important thing. If you lose your life, it will be useless even if you continue to hide the Sky Extinguishing Steps."
While speaking, Ye Luotian actually gently placed his shriveled hand on Xiao Yan's chest in front of his extremely shocked eyes. A cluster of green-colored Dou Qi flowed into Xiao Yan's body, and the injuries in Xiao Yan's body began to slowly recover.
Ye Luotian was actually helping Xiao Yan heal his injuries!
"Hmph! Ye Luotian, you are really a good person. Why, do you really think of yourself as the savior of the world? You want to save everyone regardless of who you meet. Why don't you choose to save everyone? Why do you need to be the sect leader! "
Wu Jitian's face was filled with disdain as he looked at Ye Luotian. Although they were equally famous among the four great sects, the Withered Leaf Sect was the weakest among the four sects in every aspect. However, there was one exception.
In terms of killing people, the Withered Leaf Sect could not be compared to the other three sects. However, in terms of saving people, the sect leader of the Withered Leaf Sect, Ye Luotian, was actually a truly good person. He had saved countless people since he started training, including some famous experts in the Western Region.
It was also because of this that the Withered Leaf Sect that he belonged to was ranked last among the four sects. However, the difference was that there were many famous experts in the Western Region in the Withered Leaf Sect. This allowed the Withered Leaf Sect's overall strength to stand firm among the four sects.
"Hehe, sect leader Wu, you must be joking. Aren't I doing this for the Sky Extinction Steps? Rather than committing crimes by killing people and failing to obtain the Sky Extinction Steps in the end, why not let me save another person? This can be considered as benefiting my sect. At the same time, I also hope that little friend Xiao Yan will hand over the Sky Extinction Steps. After all, this is beneficial to everyone."
In the face of Wu Jitian's angry roar, Ye Luotian continued to chuckle. He looked extremely dignified and benevolent. This actually made Xiao Yan have a good impression of him.
"Hehe, little friend Xiao Yan, since I have healed your injuries, I wonder if you will hand over the Sky Extinction Steps now? Don't worry, as long as little friend Xiao Yan is willing to hand over the Sky Extinction Steps, I will be the first to ensure your safety. Furthermore, with our status, there is no need to kill a junior for something. This is not good for our reputation, right? "
At the end of his words, Ye Luotian's gentle gaze swept across the entire area. His gaze paused on Chen Zhen for a moment before he smiled and turned back to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan crawled to his feet with great difficulty. His eyes were filled with gratitude as he looked at Ye Luotian. The latter gently nodded his head. Immediately, Xiao Yan helplessly sighed. He looked at Ye Luotian and helplessly said in a low voice,
"I'm sorry, Senior. Junior does not have the item that Senior needs. Furthermore, all of you have already checked my Storage Ring, and there is indeed nothing inside. Moreover, if I really had such a valuable item, it is even more impossible for me to place it outside of my Storage Ring, so …"
"Humph! Xiao Yan, even now, you are still so stingy with your glib tongue. Since you wish to die, I will fulfill your wish! "
"Xiao Yan, prepare to die!"
With a stern cry, Wu Jitian could no longer tolerate Xiao Yan continuing. His body moved and appeared in the empty space above Xiao Yan. He waved his sleeves and his hand was tightly clenched into a fist. A fist was violently smashed towards Xiao Yan's head.
If this attack landed, Xiao Yan would definitely die!
"Humph! Great Star Plate! Activate! "
However, in the next moment, a cold cry that contained a terrifying murderous intent suddenly sounded in the area.
"Bang!"
In the next moment, Wu Jitian's fist that was filled with an imposing aura finally collided with a cream-white energy barrier.
"Crack!"
Following an intense tremor, a cracking sound was suddenly emitted from the point where Wu Jitian's fist collided with the energy barrier.
Soon after, the sturdy barrier that could withstand an all-out attack from an ordinary elite Dou Di shattered.
Behind Wu Jitian, Luo Jin involuntarily spat out fresh blood from the corner of his mouth. He looked at the cracked Great Star Plate in his hand and involuntarily coughed twice.
Luo Jin had only managed to block Wu Jitian's punch after exhausting all the strength of the Great Star Plate and adding his own Dou Qi. If the latter had not used his full strength out of fear of Luo Jin's identity, Luo Jin would have been dead by now.
"Pavilion Chief, I do not wish to become enemies with Yunyin Pavilion. Please move aside!"
Wu Jitian frowned and hesitated. If Luo Jin insisted on protecting Xiao Yan, even if the Four Sects joined forces, they would not be able to touch Xiao Yan.
"If you dare to touch him today, I guarantee that your Four Sects will be removed from the Western Region tomorrow."
Luo Jin's face was pale. However, he swept his gaze across the Four Sects' Sect Leaders with a sinister expression. There was no fear in his dark eyes.
Luo Jin believed that he would be able to do what he said.
Similarly, the Sect Leaders of the Four Sects did not dare to underestimate the weight of Luo Jin's words.
The four of them frowned and looked at each other. Their hearts were filled with hesitation. On one hand, they had the Sky Extinction Step. That was the key to opening the Sky Extinction Ancient Tomb. On the other hand, they had to face the colossus that was the Yunyin Pavilion.
The strength of the Yunyin Pavilion was stronger than the Four Sects. Looking at the current situation, Luo Jin did not seem to be joking. If he really wanted to kill, the Four Sects would be in real danger.
To them, it was not worth it to destroy the foundation that they had built over half of their lives for Xiao Yan.
"It seems that with the pavilion chief around, we cannot touch Xiao Yan."
Chen Zhen narrowed his eyes and stared at Xiao Yan, who was standing behind Luo Jin.
Jian Ming remained silent. Ye Luotian had already returned to the center of the Four Sects. Wu Jitian frowned and looked at Luo Jin. Then, he glared at Xiao Yan and said in a deep voice, "Kid, how long do you think you can hide?
If you have the ability, you can stay in the Yunyin Pavilion for the rest of your life. Otherwise … humph! "
"Since you don't have anything else to say, please take your leave."
Luo Jin narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.
When Wu Jitian heard this, he snorted coldly. He turned around and was about to leave.
However, in the next moment …
"Wait."
