Xiao Wujian had arrived last. Seizing the chance to speak, he had originally intended to stir everyone up and set them against Xiao Wujian.
Whether it was the Immortal Tomb or the struggle for the Half-Immortal Artifact, one fewer person meant one fewer competitor.
Especially since Xiao Wujian himself was a powerful sword cultivator, with the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect—one of the nine foremost super-first-rate forces—standing behind him.
Yet he had not expected that the moment he spoke, Xiao Wujian would turn around and target him instead.
He had even provoked Daoist Nun Shenwei's dissatisfaction toward him.
But for Xuanjing Cave Master to have reached his current cultivation realm, neither his mind nor his ability to control his emotions could be underestimated.
Drawing a deep breath, he swiftly calmed himself.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao is a renowned swordsmanship prodigy of the Immortal Cultivation Holy Land. Since when did you become a long-tongued woman who stirs up trouble?"
"The treasures of this Immortal Tomb and the Half-Immortal Artifact in Quicksand Land are not possessions tucked away in your Xuan Yuan Sword Sect's pocket."
As his voice rang out, Xuanjing Cave Master's eyes rolled, and he deliberately mentioned the Immortal Tomb and the Half-Immortal Artifact.
The instant those words left his mouth, Daoist Nun Shenwei, whose emotions had nearly spun out of control, immediately calmed down as well.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao! This old woman and Xuanjing Cave Master can see your sinister intentions at a glance!"
When she spoke again, the fury in Daoist Nun Shenwei's heart was rapidly suppressed, and the way she looked at Xiao Wujian grew ever more hostile.
"Playing deaf and dumb cannot change the truth. Xiao merely spoke the facts."
"For Fellow Daoist Shenwei to be able to put aside her hatred is quite a skill as well."
