Fine cracks began spreading across the ground of the White Jade Plaza.
The three old monsters were about to come to blows in the plaza and tear the place apart.
A streak of Dark-Gold sword qi suddenly descended from the sky.
Overwhelmingly domineering and carrying the pure aura of Immortal Court Law, it cleaved straight into the empty ground between the three men.
Boom!
A thunderous crash rang out.
The sword qi forcibly severed the three intertwined auras of pressure.
A bottomless fissure split the ground, its edges still bristling with fierce sword intent.
Old Ancestor Cangwu stepped forward expressionlessly, carrying the Dark-Gold Long Sword.
He unleashed his Immortal Court sword qi without restraint, pinning the three old monsters beneath its pressure.
"If you want to fight, get out of the Immortal-Burying Abyss and fight there."
Old Ancestor Cangwu swept them with a cold glance, and the sword in his hand gave a clear ring.
"The Token Master has rules. Private fighting is forbidden within the abyss."
"Anyone who raises a hand will be stripped of their bidding rights on the spot. You'll never exchange for another Crystal Stone!"
At those words, the three old monsters—Tai Chu, Hun Yuan, and Wu Ji—froze.
Stripped of their rights?
That would hurt worse than death!
Crystal Stones were their lifeblood now, to say nothing of that maddening prize for first place.
Old Ancestor Taichu hurriedly withdrew his manifestation, every trace of arrogance vanishing from his face. He changed his expression faster than turning a page.
"Don't misunderstand, Fellow Daoist Cangwu. We were just sparring, just sparring."
"We're all working for the Token Master. Harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth."
Old Ancestor Hunyuan also put on an apologetic smile, tucking the Demon-Subduing Pestle back into his belt.
"Yes, yes, we were only fooling around.
