The Sword Demon's words left the group opposite them livid, their faces turning iron-blue.
Even Xuanwei, who had maintained a smile all along and looked every bit the good-natured fellow, wore a somewhat unnatural expression.
"Then tell me, what should we do?"
Wuqu Star Lord had always had a fiery temper, and by now he had completely run out of patience.
If not for fear of delaying the greater matter, he would have struck long ago and taken all four of them down.
"Very simple. Do as I say."
"Since neither side trusts the other, then fine. Give us what we need, and I'll place this item where you can see it."
"Put the items down. Watch us leave, and for ten breaths, do not make any rash moves."
"How about it?"
After giving it some thought, Ye Lin proposed a relatively safe solution.
Xuanwei pondered for a moment, then nodded lightly.
That request was not excessive.
Within their line of sight.
As long as it remained within their sight, these four could not possibly take the item and flee right under their noses.
After all, these four were outsiders, unfamiliar with the place. If they dared run, he had a hundred ways to capture them and drag them back.
"I agree. Let's begin."
Xuanwei nodded lightly.
The next moment, the treasures before him slowly flew toward Ye Lin.
Ye Lin did not move. The Sword Demon beside him moved first.
As for the treasures and the like, he simply ignored them. Those things were beneath his notice.
Even if he wanted them, he would not lower himself to snatch a junior's belongings.
What he wanted was every scrap of information concerning the Sacred Land.
He took the Jade Talisman into his hand, his eyes fixed intently on Xuanwei across
