Whoever Holds the Little Wooden Plaque Gets Our Help

However unexpectedly, they quickly returned their attention to their business.

Regardless of how the storage ring ended up in their hands, they are the only ones who currently possess the means to verify its authenticity; it's best to simply deny it.

At that moment, one of the Tai Clan spoke up.

Is this all you can do, resorting to slander?

He paused, then turned to the woman and spoke again.

"If you agree, senior, you can designate an area for both of us, and no one else should interfere."

"We, the four of us from the Tai Clan, have our own methods to force him to hand over his Power of Time. What do you think, Senior?"

Before the Artifact Spirit could answer, Lu Changzhi shook his head helplessly and said...

"Looks like they're planning to kill him to silence him."

"Now that your Tai Clan knows I have obtained the small wooden plaque from the Huaxia Sect and have something to rely on, you still spare no effort in chasing me into this World in the Painting. It seems that the secrets within your Tai Clan are far more than this."

As he spoke, Lu Changzhi took out the small wooden plaque of the Huaxia Sect that Ancestor Jiang Tong had given him.

Upon seeing the small wooden plaque belonging to the Huaxia Sect, many people present showed expressions of utter surprise.

Some people were even more surprised in hushed tones.

"Such an important item, and it's been given to a junior? It seems the Jiang Clan is no ordinary person."

The small wooden plaque of the Huaxia Sect, although it was only an opportunity for the Huaxia Sect to provide protection and came at a considerable cost, was still ultimately a symbol of the Huaxia Sect.

It is equally important even for powerful clans like the Tai Clan.

Generally speaking, such things should be kept within the organization, to be used in critical moments.

It's quite unusual to only have a junior colleague carry it with him these days.

On the other side, Li Baimei looked at the small wooden plaque that Lu Changzhi had taken out, and her heart immediately became unsettled.

How did Jiang Clan obtain this small wooden plaque? She earned it through her own hard work.

The other party did nothing from beginning to end, yet still managed to reap the benefits.

"The Jiang Clan, oh the Jiang Clan."

Li Baimei were filled with coldness.

"The way you're doing things is driving yourselves to ruin!"

At this moment, a member of the Huaxia Sect, not far from Li Baimei, transmitted a message to Li Baimei.

"Stop standing there, get ready to take action."

"What?"

Li Baimei was taken aback, turned his head to look, and even forgot to use telepathy, instead speaking aloud directly.

"Take action? Whose side are we helping?"

The man glanced at Li Baimei, frowned, and said...

"Stop talking nonsense! We'll help whoever uses the little wooden sign."

Li Baimei felt even more resentful.

So, the little wooden plaque I worked so hard to earn has ended up in the other party's hands, and now that the other party is in a bad situation, I'm supposed to lend a hand?

Where does this logic come from?!

At the same time, both Gu De and Chu Ping'an received each other's telepathic messages.

For a moment, both of them looked somewhat bewildered.

Whether the other party uses that small wooden sign or not is none of their business.

They're not from the Huaxia Sect, so why should they get involved in these matters?

While the three were still completely baffled, the surrounding crowd had already begun to focus their attention on the Huaxia Sect.

Looking at the people from the Huaxia Sect, most of whom seemed serious at this moment, someone exclaimed with admiration.

"Is that really so? It seems the rumors about the small wooden plaques belonging to the Huaxia Sect are true. As soon as the plaques appeared, the Huaxia Sect was indeed prepared to take action."

Others looked at Gu De and Chu Ping'an with a hint of sympathy in their eyes and smiled.

"These two are just hoping that Jiang Clan won't just use the small wooden plaque directly, otherwise they'll suffer a huge loss."

Gu De and Chu Ping'an were unaware of this, but everyone present was fully aware of it.

This small wooden plaque of the Huaxia Sect is quite famous, and is even one of the symbols of the Huaxia Sect.

As for why it has such a reputation, the main reason is that this small wooden plaque from the Huaxia Sect is really useful.

Just like the attitude displayed by the Huaxia Sect members at this moment, as soon as this small wooden sign of the Huaxia Sect appears, everyone present, whether from the Huaxia Sect or representing Huaxia Sect, must be prepared to take action at any time.

Furthermore, all such preparations are conducted in a serious manner. Ignoring the small wooden plaque or offering only perfunctory responses will result in specific punishments within the Huaxia Sect.

Of course, this is good news for those who hold the small wooden plaques of the Huaxia Sect, but it is not good news for those who are neither members of the Huaxia Sect represent it.

Just like Gu De and Chu Ping'an right now.

Everyone present knew that if the two of them didn't take action, the Huaxia Sect would hold them accountable.

If the two of them were to make a move, they would be offending the Tai Clan.

In short, it pleases neither side.

Of course, these people were just watching the situation for fun and didn't really care that much.

What they were more concerned about was whether the Tai Clan people would regret what they had just said.

After all, if the other party really used this small wooden plaque from the Huaxia Sect, their fate would definitely not be good.

Of course, if it were actually used, the Jiang Clan would lose the support of the Huaxia Sect's small wooden plaque. The Tai Clan would naturally not remain completely silent about this matter, and at that time, the two major forces behind them would inevitably clash.

No matter what, this matter will become very lively.

While everyone was paying attention, it was the people from the Huaxia Sect who spoke up first.

"Senior, the Tai Clan wants to kill him. He now possesses the token of our Huaxia Sect. Our Huaxia Sect cannot remain indifferent. We hope you will understand."

These words immediately made everyone present look at the Huaxia Sect with even greater respect.

It's no wonder everyone is trying so hard to get the small wooden plaque from the Huaxia Sect; it's just that the Huaxia Sect's small wooden plaque is truly valuable.

Over time, the Tai Clan members gained a clearer understanding of their current situation.

It's truly a case of being caught in a dilemma, unable to dismount.

If the other party uses this small wooden plaque from the Huaxia Sect, they really can't do anything to them, and they even have to consider their own safety.

If the other party doesn't use the small wooden plaques from the Huaxia Sect, that's fine, but I'm afraid that the same kind of power that was used on Tai Yin just now will fall on them again.

However, despite the many unfavorable scenarios, there is also one possibility: that the other party neither dares to use the small wooden plaque of the Huaxia Sect nor has the means to do so.

In that case, it wouldn't matter if we killed the other party.

While the four were considering various possibilities, Lu Changzhi tossed the small wooden plaque of the Huaxia Sect to Gu Chen.

"You take it first. Since they're so confident, I'll cooperate with them."

After saying that, Lu Changzhi turned his head and looked at the Artifact Spirit.

"Senior, let's do as they say and have them investigate thoroughly."
