In truth, Li Yan was not the only one who had made such a judgment upon seeing the golden runes. The others had long since guessed it as well.
Clearly, those runes could not fly beyond a thousand zhang. This indicated two possibilities.
One was that the writing desk or the exquisite porcelain bottles atop it possessed some pulling force, firmly restraining those golden runes and preventing them from leaving the thousand-zhang range.
The other possibility was that something akin to a formation cage existed within that thousand-zhang radius. They had almost instantly surmised such possibilities.
However, everyone immediately tried to seize the golden runes. How could they know the exact situation without trying?
The twin sisters each flung out a pale green belt from around their waists, hoping to coil it around the golden runes.
Thus, when the belts struck the barrier, an even duller sound rang out from their side, even drowning out the commotion of the others' attacks.
This caused all five people, Li Yan included, to look over.
"An earth-element supreme treasure!"
The black-clad man in fitted garments, a late-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator, could not help murmuring. A flash of greed passed through his eyes without the slightest concealment.
He swiftly exchanged distant glances with the others, seeing the same expression in all their eyes.
The belts looked light and fluttering, yet the disturbance they caused when attacking the barrier surpassed that of their own side. The earth-element magic treasure on those women was not merely defensive—it was a treasure that combined offense and defense.
The twin sisters in yellow skirts saw the changes in these people's expressions, but they could only feel helpless. Here, they would certainly have to stay on guard against others at every moment, yet they could not simply refrain from acting.
