"This old man is no friend of Longevity Daoist's, but neither are we enemies. Whatever you have to say, say it freely. This old man would not go so far as to leak these matters," Ao Yuan said. "This old man needs to hear the truth."
"The Spirit Lands contain Spirit Land Cold Jade. This cold jade is something all the great powers of the Jianghu crave..." Huang Xiao went on to explain the matter of the Spirit Land Cold Jade.
"So that is how it is." Ao Yuan nodded. "A fine thing indeed. We divine beasts need Spirit Land Cold Jade too. What else?"
"Then there is Longevity Daoist's true purpose in setting up these Spirit Lands," Huang Xiao said.
"What is his true purpose?"
Ao Yuan had guarded this place for so many years, but he naturally knew nothing of what these Spirit Lands were actually for.
After all, even the great powers of the various domains outside were lost in a fog.
They could certainly guess that Longevity Daoist had a purpose in setting up these formations, but unfortunately, none could determine exactly what it was.
"That..." Huang Xiao hesitated. "Forgive me, Senior, but I cannot say."
"You have some nerve," Ao Yuan said, his expression darkening.
"Senior, I can reveal a little," Huang Xiao said, his body trembling slightly.
The force emanating from Ao Yuan was so terrifying that he could barely withstand it.
Ao Yuan snorted coldly and withdrew his oppressive might.
Only then did Huang Xiao continue, "Longevity Daoist did all this purely for his own selfish desires."
"Ridiculous. Who does otherwise?" Ao Yuan sneered. "Of course he set up a grand formation like this for himself."
"If it were simply for himself, that would indeed be nothing," Huang Xiao said, shaking his head.
