What?
Yuan Xiao's eyes widened in disbelief, and he could not help asking, "Purple Bamboo, do you know what you're saying?"
"Master, I know very clearly..."
Outside the Sword Extinction Giant Tomb, amid the endless sinister Killing Intent, Purple Bamboo spoke resolutely...
"I know even more clearly that Master will definitely send Kuang Tunhai and the others to capture Sikong Jing's people again. But if you do not return my four spirit shadows, then I will stand guard outside the Giant Tomb."
"I will not let Kuang Tunhai and the others take even half a step out. If they dare leave the Sword Extinction Giant Tomb, then I will... destroy them."
Her words were as decisive as nails driven into iron, blasting straight into the Sword Extinction Giant Tomb.
It was as though echoes rang out within the Giant Tomb, yet they also completely ignited Yuan Xiao's fury. With a boom, he rushed to the edge of the Sword Extinction Giant Tomb, standing face-to-face with Purple Bamboo at its boundary as they locked eyes.
Yuan Xiao said again, "Purple Bamboo, you dare threaten me?"
Purple Bamboo's meaning was clear: if Yuan Xiao wanted Kuang Tunhai and the other four to capture people from the Seal Sovereign Empire again, then he had to return her four spirit shadows first. Otherwise, Kuang Tunhai and the others would not leave the Sword Extinction Giant Tomb.
Naturally, this made Yuan Xiao explode with rage. Purple Bamboo had betrayed him this thoroughly.
Yet Purple Bamboo's gaze remained firm to the extreme. Staring at Yuan Xiao, she replied, "Master, return one spirit shadow, and I will let one person out. Please grant Purple Bamboo this insignificant request."
As she said this, Purple Bamboo continued staring at Yuan Xiao, while an incomparably terrifying aura erupted from him.
