Everyone turned around and saw a middle-aged man in a purple-and-gold robe standing with his hands behind his back, his gaze cold and stern.
"Vice Pavilion Master Wang?!"
Chen Xuan's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly bowed in greeting.
Li Yunjing's heart tightened.
This man's aura was unfathomable. He was at least at the Spirit Transformation Realm!
"Fellow young friends, if you want resources, that can be arranged."
Vice Pavilion Master Wang said indifferently, "But the Treasure Gathering Pavilion never makes a losing deal. If you truly wish to work with us, why not sign a Heavenly Dao Contract? Bring back the Mysterious Crystals, and your resources will be doubled. If you fail, you'll have to serve the Treasure Gathering Pavilion for five hundred years."
"What?!"
Ye Wuhen flew into a rage. "You want us to sell ourselves?!"
Vice Pavilion Master Wang smiled faintly. "The choice is yours."
Li Yunjing fell silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled. "It seems the Treasure Gathering Pavilion's sincerity is nothing special."
He turned to Ye Wuhen and the others. "Let's go."
"Hold it!"
Vice Pavilion Master Wang's gaze turned cold. "You think you can just walk away after learning so many secrets?"
The atmosphere in the secret chamber abruptly plunged to freezing point!
The Spirit Transformation pressure emanating from Vice Pavilion Master Wang weighed down the entire room, making even breathing difficult.
Li Yunjing's expression darkened. "Does Vice Pavilion Master Wang intend to keep us here by force?"
"By force?"
Vice Pavilion Master Wang chuckled. With a sweep of his sleeve, countless restriction runes lit up around the secret chamber. "You exaggerate, Fellow Daoist Li. It's simply that this matter is of great importance, so we need to reach some kind of understanding."
"An understanding?"
A cold glint flashed in Ye Wuhen's eyes
