Spirit Suppression Saber

Strange looks fell on Xu Jianyi from every direction.

Most came from Fourth Grade experts, though plenty were Third Grade, the same rank as him.

Those looks were manageable. But Human Immortals and Celestial Immortals were staring at him too, and Xu Jianyi felt the pressure mount.

Only then did he realize how steady a person had to be to stand before so many eyes without showing embarrassment.

Xu Jianyi took a deep breath, but before he could speak, the Grand Ancestor said:

"The Spirit Suppression Saber is indeed a first-rate Martial Technique. But it's hardly rare in your Divine Guard Bureau. You should have at least one copy on you, shouldn't you?"

Xu Jianyi's expression darkened. He understood what the Grand Ancestor meant.

The head of the Divine Guard Bureau wasn't here today. Even if he were, his standing would be far below the Grand Ancestor's.

But trading away a Martial Technique belonging to the Divine Guard Bureau would unleash a storm of public criticism if word got out.

If his superiors felt they had lost face afterward, Xu Jianyi would be the one they punished.

"Grand Ancestor, the Great Dream Dynasty has never set such a precedent..."

Xu Jianyi tried once more.

"Hand it over. It's only a copy of the Spirit Suppression Saber. Do you really think it's anything remarkable?"

The Grand Ancestor held out his hand.

His casual tone made it seem as though he merely looked down on the Spirit Suppression Saber.

But everyone else could hear that his scorn was aimed at the Divine Guard Bureau.

Xu Jianyi drew a deep breath and took out a martial arts manual.

After a glance confirmed it was genuine, the Grand Ancestor used it to complete the trade with Yang Ling.
