"Senior, we agree to your terms."
"However, this opportunity is nothing more than your word. How am I supposed to know whether it is real or fake?"
"Could Senior give me some proof?"
"Otherwise, relying on your word alone, it will be difficult for us to believe you—let alone risk our lives."
Ye Lin looked at the old man in the distance and spoke.
Their conversation just now had all been through voice transmission, so the old man had not heard a thing.
The old man knew they were transmitting messages, but he had no idea what they had said.
"Heh, you brat are quite vigilant."
"Don't worry. This old man would never harm you."
"Since you want to see it, this old man shall satisfy you."
Meeting Ye Lin's gaze, the old man chuckled. With a wave of his hand, a diamond-shaped crystal appeared in his palm.
"My clan has guarded this thing for generations, yet we cannot use it at all. Guarding it was fine in the past, but now this thing has brought the danger of extermination upon my clan."
"So, for the sake of my people, there is no longer any need to guard it. Brat, take it and see whether what I said is true or false."
With a casual toss from the old man, the crystal arrived in Ye Lin's hand.
Ye Lin did not inspect it immediately. Instead, he handed it to Sword Demon behind him.
He was afraid the old fellow might be playing tricks.
Sword Demon's realm was high. Even if the old man did try something, he would be able to withstand it.
Sword Demon naturally understood Ye Lin's meaning.
Holding the crystal, he closed his eyes and began to examine it.
At first, his face was filled with surprise.
