478: Negative credit score, another one coming?
The two Elders beside Sect Leader Mu Qingyang could only reluctantly agree: “That’s right, our two forces truly have an Opportunity! To think we could encounter such a peerless Magic Treasure…”
It must be said, Sect Leader Mu Qingyang’s description was incredibly vivid and full of emotion.
It made Yan Jin even doubt his own judgment: “Could it be that these three really came to find chiyang essence gold?”
Yan Jin followed the aura of the Magic Treasure and quickly arrived in front of the Formation Seal, reaching out to touch the Formation.
With that touch, Yan Jin immediately discovered something was wrong.
This… this actually had Sect Leader Mu Qingyang’s Qi on it!
Sect Leader Mu Qingyang’s expression changed, and he immediately realized something was amiss. It was over… he had actually forgotten about this…
Now, his credibility in this guy’s heart was probably going to drop to a negative number…
Yan Jin was also utterly speechless internally, and could only let out a chuckle, turning to look at Sect Leader Mu Qingyang with a subtle glance.
That look was as if he was watching a clown.
Sect Leader Mu Qingyang was extremely awkward, not knowing what to say, and could only look up at the blue sky…
Seeing Sect Leader Mu Qingyang like this, Yan Jin didn’t bother with him anymore, merely stating indifferently: “Sect Master Mu, can you open the Formation and let me take a look? We’ve known each other for many years, I think, there’s no need to resort to fighting now, is there?”
Yan Jin’s words already carried some hostility.
Sect Leader Mu Qingyang and Yan Jin’s relationship wasn’t particularly good, but it definitely wasn’t bad.
In fact, with the external threat of Thousand Stars State, the top-tier Cultivators in the other three prefectures generally maintained the most basic restraint, and their relationships were usually handled quite well.
If it weren’t for the Dao Grade Magic Treasure being truly too important, the atmosphere between the two of them wouldn’t have become so tense now.
Upon hearing Yan Jin’s words, Sect Leader Mu Qingyang also remained silent, slowly walking to the Formation and then forming hand Seals to open both layers of the Formation he had set up.
The Dao-grade Top-Quality Magic Treasure hadn’t appeared yet, so even if a fight was inevitable, it shouldn’t be now.
Anyway, the most core Seal inside hadn’t been lifted yet, so letting Yan Jin take a look was no big deal.
Yan Jin walked in alone, while the other two stood outside vigilantly, acting as Protectors for Yan Jin. In front of the Dao-grade Top-Quality Magic Treasure, the trust between the two parties had already dropped to its lowest point.
A moment later, Yan Jin walked out from inside. Seeing this, Sect Leader Mu Qingyang quickly reset his two layers of Formation.
“Sect Master Yan, since you’ve already investigated, you must be clear now. The Magic Treasure here will only appear in one month. What are your plans for this month?”
Yan Jin pondered for a moment, unsure how to reply.
When he clearly sensed the Dao-grade Top-Quality Magic Treasure, an extremely strong sense of greed had already arisen in his heart!
He was determined to get this Magic Treasure!
He even thought of dealing with Sect Leader Mu Qingyang first, of course, by “dealing with” he didn’t mean killing, but rather severely injuring him so he couldn’t compete with him.
But he quickly dismissed this idea. Firstly, he wasn’t absolutely confident that he could keep all three people here.
They often had interactions on a daily basis, so they knew each other well.
Secondly, he was worried that if he made a move, other forces might reap the benefits from behind.
After all, the initial news he received was that only his own force knew about it.
But it was obvious that this conclusion was wrong. The people from Feiyu Mountain had received the news earlier than he did, and had even arrived here early to make the necessary preparations.
So he had to determine how many forces had received the news before he could decide on his next move.
After thinking it through, Yan Jin looked up at Sect Leader Mu Qingyang and said with a chuckle: “Sect Master Mu, since there’s still a month until this Magic Treasure appears, let’s each rely on our own abilities after the Seal completely disappears.”
“After all, our two forces have had frequent exchanges, there’s no need to make things too ugly. At that time, whichever force obtains the Magic Treasure first, the Magic Treasure will belong to them. What do you think of this plan, Sect Master Mu?”
Sect Leader Mu Qingyang agreed without hesitation.
What Yan Jin could think of, he had already thought of.
“Hahaha, good, Sect Master Mu is indeed a straightforward person! Then let’s each go into hiding and wait a month to see the true outcome!”
Yan Jin laughed heartily, just about to take his three men to another direction to set up a hidden Formation.
Suddenly, both Sect Leader Mu Qingyang and Yan Jin’s expressions changed!
“Damn it, someone else is coming!”
“What do we do? I haven’t set up the hidden Formation yet, and it takes time to set up. Their speed is extremely fast, there’s not enough time!”
Yan Jin said in a panic. At this moment, he felt exactly as Sect Leader Mu Qingyang had felt earlier, a million times unwilling for others to know of his presence.
Sect Leader Mu Qingyang gritted his teeth and directly pulled Yan Jin and his three men towards his own hidden location:
“There’s no time to worry about that, Sect Master Yan, let’s hide first!”
Yan Jin also didn’t object and was directly pulled into the place where Sect Leader Mu Qingyang had been hiding earlier.
This spot was a bit small. After all, to hide better, the smaller the area occupied, the better.
So, before, Sect Leader Mu Qingyang and his three men could only sit cross-legged inside.
But with the addition of Yan Jin and his three men, the space inside instantly became cramped.
The six people couldn’t stretch out and could only sit on the ground, leaning against each other, vigilantly observing the situation outside.
After seeing who had arrived, Yan Jin also exclaimed: “Damn it! How did she get here too?!”
...
The person who arrived was none other than the Sect Master of Hanshui Sect, Chang Bingpo!
The most famous ice beauty in the entire Yangqi Prefecture, she was incredibly stunning, making countless Cultivators dream of her, and many high-ranking Cultivators had tried to pursue her.
Unfortunately, no one had ever succeeded because her personality was extremely cold, giving everyone a feeling of keeping them a thousand li away, and gradually, no one harbored illusions anymore.
Behind Chang Bingpo, there was a man dressed in a black robe, following closely behind her. Whenever he looked at Chang Bingpo, a hint of fervent emotion, difficult for outsiders to detect, would appear in his eyes.
“Sect Master, the location mentioned in the news is right here.”
Upon hearing this, Chang Bingpo nodded slightly, then said indifferently: “You and I, each take a side and investigate thoroughly. I want to see if that so-called Secret Realm with a Dao-grade Top-Quality Magic Treasure is truly here!”
“Yes!”
