"Junior? Are you referring to me?"
A tone that carried a playful yet extremely casual trace came from Tang Jingtian, as if he was replying to someone unimportant. His face showed an amused smile with a tinge of interest at the sight of him.
But this caused everyone else to breathe cold air at the sight of a young man in his early twenties speaking in such a manner to the leader of the sky sword sect, a golden core realm powerful expert!
The sky sword sect leader frowned, but did not dare to make a move. The danger instinct he had developed along told him that it wasn't easy to mess with this young man!
Besides, Tang Jingtian's identity shouldn't be so simple; so young at just over 20 years old and already has a cultivation level similar to his own, this could only explain that his origin was far from simple... probably a big powerful sect was behind him.
And the only thought about sects that popped up in the mind of the sky sword sect leader were from the south state capital!
The capital of the south state is where the strongest and most powerful cultivators in the entire south state reside, with forces and sects where they could even find terrifying nascent soul realm cultivators!
Although the sect leader of the sky sword sect had an amazing cultivation at the golden core late stage and he was acclaimed to be the strongest expert in the region, he was still nothing before those nascent soul realm cultivator experts. If he were to meet one of those experts he would be like an ant against an elephant, unable to resist and survive.
"If the little fellow wants to have a share of the inheritance of these ruins you are welcome to cooperate with us." The sect leader finally said and turned around, heading towards the barrier while keeping a serious expression. He didn't even give a second glance at Shang Moyu and the others.
Seeing the sky sword sect leader leaving, Shang Moyu and the others couldn't help but gasp again. The pressure emitted from this sect leader was extremely powerful, although it wasn't directed at them, they still couldn't help but feel chills.
Their gazes towards Tang Jingtian were filled with more curiosity and respect, realizing that he didn't seem to have any problem facing the sky sword sect leader who was a true golden core expert.
Tang Jingtian looked at the reaction of the sky sword sect leader.
'The world will always be full of haughty and arrogant people, and they will always look down on others due to being superior, unless they encounter a terrifying superior might that can easily crush them... then they will become lowly dogs, changing their personalities completely...'
Seeming to hear Ling Tian's voice as he told them some things, Tang Jingtian couldn't help but laugh.
In these past few days, Tang Jingtian, Yu Qing, Za Niu and Leng Zilan, had met and got to know many people, and had clearly witnessed the cruelty and falsehood of the world. For the first time they saw how the strong mocked, despised and even killed the weak, while when they encountered someone stronger they could not stand and became docile and humble, not wanting to be killed.
The sky sword sect leader's expression and look was clearly like that kind of person, so Tang Jingtian couldn't help but shake his head.
Once the sky sword sect leader got close to the barrier at the bottom, his cultivation fiercely burst out. The cultivation essence and all of his power poured into the sword in his hands, concentrating it before swinging it to the front.
* Boom! *
The barrier covering the entrance wobbled slightly for a brief moment, with small ripples on its surface spreading out before quickly disappearing and returning to normal.
The disciples on the spot couldn't help but swallow hard as they felt the terrifying power of the golden core realm, realizing the great strength of their sect leader.
"A barrier that can stop the power of a golden core expert is not a simple thing, so its interior must be replete with treasures and cultivation resources!" The sky sword sect leader took a deep breath, quickly catching his breath before looking at Tang Jingtian and saying, "If we work together, we can split the profits equally, or else rely solely on how lucky we each find each other."
Although he couldn't exactly see Tang Jingtian's cultivation level, the sky sword sect leader didn't want to have any trouble with Tang Jingtian, especially if there was a special force behind him.
Being the leader of one of the strongest sects in the region, he knew that there would always be a heaven and an expert more powerful than him, so it was better not to alert those forces and avoid future dangers. Although he did not want to share the profits, it was a necessary sacrifice.
At this instant, several powerful auras that surpassed the level of the golden core covered the place, surprising the sky sword sect disciples and Shang Moyu's group.
Two large groups entered the place, being led by golden core experts. Their auras radiated fiercely, frightening Shang Moyu and the others.
Quickly, the place was filled with young people and adults, there being more than 300 cultivators of different cultivation levels!
"You two took too long." The sky sword sect leader snorted slightly as several figures appeared, his gaze turning to two middle-aged men leading these groups.
"If you don't want experts from other regions to quickly arrive at this place, then we had to take care of the ants that tried to escape."
"Sky sword sect leader, you should have done the preparations already!"
Two middle-aged men walked arrogantly, arriving in front of the sky sword sect leader and speaking to him nonchalantly.
These two middle-aged men were respectively the leaders of the mystic martial sect and the sun shining sect!
Each of these men had a cultivation base at the golden core late stage as well!
The sky sword sect leader looked at the two middle-aged men and was unfazed by their comments.
"Before we start, I think the little fellow should have realized that this barrier is very powerful despite being ancient... so it would be better if we join forces to destroy it and in the end we can evenly divide the treasures we find, don't you think?"
The leader of the sky sword sect fixed his gaze on Tang Jingtian again and pointed towards the barrier covering a large gate.
These words caused the two leaders of the other two sects to be briefly startled before looking at Tang Jingtian, understanding the meaning of the sky sword sect leader's words.
The spirit senses covered Tang Jingtian unscrupulously, frowning when they couldn't see his cultivation level.
A genius! This young cultivator should certainly be a genius of some powerful sect that handed him some artifact to hide his level!
"Haven't you guys had enough?" Tang Jingtian smirked faintly as he saw the expressions of these two middle-aged men, being the strongest in the place along with the sky sword sect leader.
The two middle-aged men withdrew their spirit senses, but kept their frowns as they saw Tang Jingtian's casual and disrespectful expression towards them. After all, they are powerful golden core realm experts in this place too!
"Hey! You think because our sect leader speaks to you with respect you think you can be so arrogant to the other seniors?!"
A furious voice filled with anger was directed towards Tang Jingtian.
Na Wuyi spat as he glared coldly and full of murderous intent at Tang Jingtian. Although he didn't know how Tang Jingtian could have easily injured him, he still had resentment towards him and wanted to kill him with his own hands. His eyes couldn't help but watch Yu Qing, Za Niu and Leng Zilan, showing a hint of lust knowing that he had not seen such beautiful women.
"So what if I want to talk the way I want? Do I have to ask your permission to speak?"
"You are merely a young man with a little strength who has a strong sect as your background, but here you are in the desolate region and you need to respect the strong ones here!"
Na Wuyi replied with anger flooding his head. In this place were almost all the disciples of the three major sects, as well as the leaders of the respective sects, so Tang Jingtian should not dare to be so arrogant.
As an expert who has reached the golden core realm, Na Wuyi could not bear that a mere man younger than him would behave arrogantly and think he was on the same level as the sect leader.
Na Wuyi's aura spread out, a golden core early stage realm power covered the entire place as it was directed at Tang Jingtian.
Na Wuyi wasn't alone, and as long as he encouraged his other sect fellows, he believed that Tang Jingtian wouldn't dare to be so arrogant in front of them.
"Oh... really?"
Tang Jingtian coldly snorted and raised the spear in his hand, his aura burst out silently but coldly as he looked at Na Wuyi and directed his spear towards him.
"Junior? Are you referring to me?"
A tone that carried a playful yet extremely casual trace came from Tang Jingtian, as if he was replying to someone unimportant. His face showed an amused smile with a tinge of interest at the sight of him.
