The calm yet powerful voice echoed in the air.
Those five simple words truly stunned everyone present.
Even the slender, hooded figure couldn't help but cast an incredulous glance.
Is this person... really not just talking nonsense?
Although the intelligence reports say that this Mysterious Ink Golden Tiger is comparable to a mid-stage Mountain Sea Realm expert, there is still a significant gap in combat power between it and a true mid-stage Mountain Sea Realm martial artist.
Moreover, such Mutant Beast and precious materials are divine objects for those at the Hegemony Realm, but useless for those at the Mountain Sea Realm.
Will it really attract a mid-stage Mountain Sea Realm expert?
Do you think Peak Martial Artist are so idle that they can easily impersonate them?
Thinking of this, the hooded woman frowned slightly.
She didn't believe that a martial artist at the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm would not seek out opportunities that suited them, but instead come here to compete with them for opportunities.
"Middle stage of the Mountain Sea Realm..."
The man in the long robe Huo Kai was clearly startled by the boy's answer, and subconsciously took two steps back while looking behind Ye Li.
But not a single person was seen.
This immediately made him suspicious.
No one accompanied him...
This indicates that the Boy in Black who claims to be from the Mountain Sea Realm is not the Guardian of an eighth-level martial artist, but has come here alone.
Mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm... is it true or false?
Huo Kai's heart skipped a beat, then he looked at Ye Li again and asked, "How can you prove it?"
"Senior brother!"
Chai Huanlu knew exactly what the other party was thinking, and immediately smiled apologetically at Ye Li, "Lord Ye Li, my senior brother meant no harm, please don't take it to heart."
"Junior sister! What are you saying?"
Huo Kai looked displeased. How could one prove something like Martial Dao prowess simply by talking about it?
He knew that Chai Huanlu was worried that her words would anger the Boy in Black before her.
But as fellow holders of Earth-grade Divine Paper, who among them doesn't have some formidable power behind them?
Mid-stage Mountain Sea Realm cultivators are not uncommon in the sect; in fact, they are plentiful.
I was just asking them to prove their abilities; I wasn't asking them to do anything difficult.
Proving one or two things won't cost you anything.
If the young man tried to deceive people with such unpredictable lies in order to get a bigger share of the spoils later, Huo Kai would never accept that.
"If he's just spouting nonsense, and can achieve what we've accomplished in the past two weeks based on just a few nonsensical words..."
At this point, he scoffed, "That's wishful thinking!"
"..."
Chai Huanlu remained silent. This Senior Brother Huo was known for his stinginess and miserliness within the Barbaric Sect, and his actions today were indeed in line with his style.
When the hooded woman wanted to join them earlier, Huo Kai also demanded that she unleash her aura to prove that her Hegemony Realm was genuine.
Only then were they qualified to enter the camp.
From the perspective of cooperation between the two parties, there is indeed nothing wrong with what my senior brother is doing at this moment.
Such Mutant Beast and precious materials, capable of helping one break through to the Mountain Sea Realm, are truly exceptional. If it weren't for their inability to kill that Mysterious Ink Golden Tiger on the spot, why would it have dragged on until today?
It's good to test the waters...
Chai Huanlu thought to herself.
She's not exactly a goody-two-shoes.
As members of the Barbaric Sect, if the other party was truly spouting nonsense, then the mere fact that they had interrupted their conversation was enough to turn that person into food for their own beast pets.
The Tongnan Mountain Range are not under the jurisdiction of any particular power, and matters of life and death are entirely up to each individual's own will.
"You must be trying to get information about the Mysterious Ink Golden Tiger from us, right?"
Huo Kai stood with his hands behind his back, his sharp gaze fixed on Ye Li: "Then Trouble you to prove your worth, otherwise, any cooperation is out of the question!"
The other three followed his gaze, the meaning of which was self-evident.
But unfortunately...
Ye Li was not the hooded woman from before.
Huo Kai and Chai Huanlu, both contemporary prodigies of the Barbaric Sect, misjudged the character of the person before them.
The repeated questioning had exhausted the Boy in Black's patience.
"I see..."
Ye Li's voice was indifferent and cold. "Then I understand."
Having lived on Blue Star for so long, I haven't seen such arrogant people in a long time.
This is not a complaint.
After all, to be fair, competing for opportunities when you're out in the world is inherently a matter of life and death.
It's been too long since I've taken the initiative to lay a hand on anyone; that's my fault.
The moment the words left his mouth.
Ye Li's black robes billowed and rippled like flowing water!
Boom!--
The next moment, the air within a hundred miles suddenly became oppressive, and blazing white lightning burst forth in the sky, illuminating the mountains below. In that instant, Huo Kai felt a powerful aura, as if a living dragon had awakened!
His pupils instantly contracted to the size of needles. As Land Immortal in the Hegemony Realm, he couldn't sense the peak of this aura at all!
Thinking of this, a clear look of surprise appeared on his face:
"Good! Very good! I now allow you to join our..."
Before he finished speaking, the Guardian Elder behind him, who was at the third level of the Mountain Sea Realm, suddenly changed his expression drastically!
He hadn't had time to mobilize his inner energy.
On the open ground ahead, the Boy in Black casually raised his palm.
In an instant, a near-suffocating, death-like feeling surged into Huo Kai's heart.
Before the Guardian Elder could make a move, a massive, ancient, and dazzling lightning seal rose from the ground in front of him and arrived in an instant, slamming heavily into Huo Kai, who was at the head of the group!
Boom!!--
A violent ripple of true energy emanated from it, blasting the three people behind him back thousands of feet!
The flat earth cracked open, and the surrounding mountains and rivers were riddled with cracks from the aftershocks.
If Ye Li hadn't been worried about alerting the Mysterious Ink Golden Tiger at the Mountain Sea Realm, he wouldn't have ended up missing it.
This single [Great Dao Thunder Seal] could shatter half of the Tongnan Mountain Range!
[Seriously injuring two Personal Disciples of the Western Region Barbaric Sect in public, Malice Points +!]
[Severely injured the Guardian Elder of the Western Region Barbaric Sect, a cultivator at the third level of the Mountain Sea Realm; Malice Points +!]
[Jiang Baishi, the current Hall Master the White Cloud Sect in the Western Region, who is at the third level of the Mountain Sea Realm, is severely injured; his Malice Points increases!]
Amidst the shattered mountain peak, Huo Kai's bones and muscles were mostly broken, a strong metallic smell emanated from his mouth, and blood flowed trickling from his ruptured seven orifices.
Only a small amount of vital energy remained circulating within his body, preventing him from dying on the spot.
Even so, he was only one step away from death.
"Hoo-hoo..."
The Guardian Elder's throat emitted muffled sounds of blood gushing, a roar echoing in his mind as he lay critically injured.
Damn it! Damn it!
As someone from the Western Region, didn't they hear us introduce ourselves and know the name of the Barbaric Sect?!
They actually dared to use such ruthless methods right from the start!!
In the moments before losing consciousness, the old man's bulging eyes were filled with resentment and terror.
"..."
Apart from the Guardian Elder from the attack, and Huo Kai, who was already on the verge of death.
The remaining two were slightly better injured.
Although they looked equally miserable, at least they were still able to stand up.
However, their eyes were filled with deep horror.
In front of them.
Amidst the ruins, Boy in Black arrived with the wind, his clothes fluttering in the breeze. His clear, dark eyes calmly surveyed the crowd.
"Now you only have two choices."
"Tell me the complete whereabouts of that Mysterious Ink Golden Tiger, and then leave this mountain range on your own."
With a slight shift in mindset, the world becomes exceptionally vast.
Ye Li hadn't felt this way in a long time, and his mood became somewhat cheerful.
As his somewhat indifferent voice fell...
Chai Huanlu was trembling all over, the hair on the back of her head stood on end, and her legs went limp to the ground.
He could only nod repeatedly, saying, "No, no problem!"
In the eyes of this Personal Disciple of the Barbaric Sect.
Since the other party dared to use such force against the people of the Barbaric Sect, they must have some kind of backing!
Therefore, she did not ask what the second option offered was.
Now that things have come to this, everyone knows what the second option is.
