"The Sword Canon?!"
"Is the Sword Canon, known as the top Sword Dao cultivation technique on Changlang Continent, also in there?"
"Wow, whoever can obtain that Sword Canon could beco the next Shadowless Sword Emperor!"
"I don’t ask for much; I’d be content to get a Soul Martial Art Technique suitable for my cultivation!"
The crowd once again exclaid, their eyes ablaze with fervor.
"What does everyone think?"
Wu Youliang asked once more.
The crowd exchanged glances, collectively turning their eyes to Wine-crazed, Tang Zhenhua, Pang Dahai, Zheng Wuyou, and Zhao Wenquan.
Only these five major powers and the Wu Family are qualified to compete for the Wuying Sword; even if others acquire it, they cannot take it away.
"I have no objection!"
"I also have no objection!"
"I agree!"
"Agreed!"
The four, Tang Zhenhua and others, each voiced their stance.
Everyone’s eyes collectively focused on Wine-crazed.
Since Fan Zhongming had left, Wine-crazed had been staring at that black mist. Now, aware of the crowd’s gaze, he replied without turning back, "Earlier, the people you sent to investigate were all Divine Infant Realm cultivators, right?"
"Yes!"
The crowd nodded in unison.
Wu Youliang’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise, his brows furrowed lightly, staring straight at Wine-crazed.
The Divine Infant Realm cultivators were the most nurous in all major powers. The Void Refinent Realm cultivators were a pillar of a power’s foundation, while the Integration Realm cultivators were the cornerstone and also the strongest weapon to deter other forces. Therefore, each major power, when unsure of what lay within the black mist, would send so Divine Infant Realm cultivators with lesser talents inside.
"Fortunately, you didn’t send in stronger people!"
Wine-crazed said softly, "This entire black mist is a great formation, one that contains the boundless Great Dao. If you sent in anyone with stronger cultivation, the whole formation would erupt; the area within tens of thousands of miles would be leveled, and the entire tomb would disappear!"
"What?!"
"This..."
"So dangerous?!"
The crowd exclaid in shock.
Chen Zhenhua’s eyes flashed with a strange color as he turned to look at Wu Youliang.
The leaders of the other major forces ca to their senses and also turned to look at Wu Youliang.
Wu Youliang’s face changed, smiling awkwardly: "Indeed, there is a great formation here left by the Shadowless Sword Emperor, but seeing how you had no intention of sending in higher realm people, I didn’t remind you."
The crowd’s gaze toward Wu Youliang changed, with a hint of anger in their eyes.
If soone had acted impulsively and dashed in, wouldn’t everyone have died here?
"But don’t worry, everyone; in a quarter of an hour, the formation will dissipate!"
Wu Youliang quickly added.
Hearing this, Chen Zhenhua and others all turned their heads towards Wine-crazed. Their trust in Wu Youliang was no longer what it had been.
Seeing this, a trace of anger erged in Wu Youliang’s eyes as he glared fiercely at the back of Wine-crazed. His whole plan relied on earning the crowd’s trust; without that, it would all be for naught.
"Yes, soon the formation will partially dissipate due to energy consumption, but within a ten-mile radius, only those in the Divine Infant Realm can enter, at most those at the Divine Infant Realm Peak."
"Because this formation isn’t completely dissipating but rely breaking down in parts, the remaining formation will be entirely dominated by the Power of the Great Dao left by the Shadowless Sword Emperor. Any other consolidated Dao powers cannot enter; even pseudo-Dao seeds won’t work!"
"Moreover, only those who have comprehended the Sword Dao or those below the Divine Infant Realm without understanding any Dao can enter. If anyone who has comprehended another Dao enters, it will trigger the formation’s eruption, and this ti it’s not self-destruction...it could likely be slaughter!"
Wine-crazed nodded lightly, explaining the rules within the formation in detail.
"This..."
The crowd exchanged glances, collectively exhaling a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness Wine-crazed was here; otherwise, Wu Youliang probably wouldn’t have shared such critical information.
It was true that Wu Youliang wouldn’t disclose this information. He gnashed his teeth in anger now. If he could overpower Wine-crazed, he would surely have slain him right there.
His plan was to guide everyone inside after the formation wasn’t prone to erupting. This way, most people from the major forces would enter, and after trapping and killing them, the Wu Family could walk away with the treasures in peace.
But now, none of the major forces suffered any loss, and it was evident that the Wu Family lacked the power to overawe the other major forces. When they left with the Wuying Sword, soone would surely attempt to snatch it.
This was inevitable; a Spiritual Treasure-level Divine Weapon could definitely incite Integration Realm powerhouses to act, let alone the weapon of the erstwhile strongest in the Mingqian Realm, which would drive all the Integration Realm cultivators here mad!
His previous conditions were rely expedient; in the cultivation world, keeping promises only applies if you have a strong background as support. Without a strong enough background to make everyone wary, such a promise is just empty words!
"Elder Wine, in your opinion, should we go in after a quarter-hour or..."
Chen Zhenhua asked softly.
Wine-crazed turned to look at Chen Zhenhua, replied with a light laugh: "Why ask ? I’m not going in. You can enter whenever you wish, but before the formation breaks, anyone beyond the Divine Infant Realm Early Stage who dares to enter would be endangering us all!"
"Yu Yan, let your master take you away from here."
Jiang Chen suddenly spoke.
Lin Yuyan was slightly taken aback, her eyes showing a hint of disappointnt.
"With your current strength, entering would be pointless. It’s fine if you don’t obtain any treasure, but if you do, it would only bring calamity upon you."
Jiang Chen patiently explained: "Leave here with your master imdiately. Staying here would make you an easy target."
"Target? Why would I be a target if I don’t enter?"
Lin Yuyan looked at Jiang Chen, puzzled.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly: "Do you really think that their cordial conversation is out of goodwill? It’s just not the right mont for them to act yet. When everyone cos out from inside, especially if soone obtains the treasure they’ve set their hearts on, those chatty folks with friendly faces will instantly beco executioners, ready to stab each other in the back!"
mbers of the various forces were montarily stunned, so looking a bit uncomfortable.
"This..."
Lin Yuyan was taken aback, glancing around with disbelief in her eyes.
"Such is the world where strength reigns supre."
Jiang Chen said calmly: "By laying things bare like this, I’ve already earned their displeasure, yet none dare act against , not outside the formation at least, because Elder Wine’s power is the strongest here, and they dare not confront in his presence! This is the survival path of this world, the reign of the strong. Only by becoming stronger can you be fearless!"
Wine-crazed looked deeply at Jiang Chen, eyes revealing a trace of satisfaction.
