The moment Yu Rong and Qi Yun appeared, every cultivator's gaze focused on the Chunyang Palace group.
Tension, fury, greed, disdain—everyone wore a different expression, but without exception, all were deeply concerned about Chunyang Palace's stance. They had secretly agreed that if Chunyang Palace sent people to seize the treasure, they would fight for it even at the risk of offending Chunyang Palace and losing their lives. Under normal circumstances, a single great expert should have come. Yet two had arrived.
One was Yu Rong, known as the wisest person under heaven. The other was even more terrifying. The cultivation world had given Qi Yun the nickname Sword Demon. With one man and one sword, he roamed the world unhindered; even fiends would be frightened to death at the sight of him.
The three people and one snake arrived at the center of the grounds and saw the mysterious pagoda radiating Treasure Light.
Bai Yujun discovered that the tower seemed exceptionally mysterious, exceptionally precious. An urge to claim it rose in her heart, her head buzzing as the Treasure Light filled her vision...
Suddenly, the animal instinct deep within her soul sensed danger and snapped her awake.
Once awake, she was seized by lingering fear. It was merely a magic treasure, yet it could seize one's soul and disrupt one's thoughts. Had her mind not cleared just now, she likely would have become crazed over the treasure as well.
Yu Rong and Qi Yun were entirely unaffected. Seeing Bai Yujun's reaction, they nodded in satisfaction.
Gan Wu had his eyes squeezed shut, cold sweat beading across his forehead.
The two great experts had no intention of waking Gan Wu. They even warned everyone present not to interfere. Qi Yun intended to use this strange treasure to temper Gan Wu's Dao
