"Since everyone's already here," Duan Yiwei said directly, "shouldn't we get down to business? Where exactly are the secret treasures of Wushuang Sect? We should be able to go look for them now."
Duan Yiwei looked toward Yun Jin.
The keys had already been gathered. Yun Jin was the owner of the main key and only she could activate it and open the secret treasury.
Yun Jin raised her eyebrows slightly and said calmly, "That probably won't work right now."
"Why?" Duan Yiwei frowned.
Could it be that.
She thought everyone was protecting her now, and wanted to put on airs?
Yun Jin smiled faintly, "It's not that I don't want to look for the location of the secret treasury. It's just that this key isn't mine either."
Duan Yiwei froze for a moment, then flew into a rage, "I can sense the resonance between the auxiliary keys and the main key clearly. How can you deny it!"
Yun Jin raised her eyebrows, "What use is it if you sense it clearly? Have you passed the hurdle of the Number One Sect Under Heaven: Yuehua Sect?"
Duan Yiwei was stunned.
What number one sect under heaven?
What Yuehua Sect?!
He suddenly remembered something and sharply turned to look at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan's face instantly turned pale.
Had this Yun Jin gone mad?
What nonsense was she spouting?!
Mu Lan was just about to explain when Yun Jin leisurely said, "Wasn't this said by Elder Mu himself? Elder Mu said that this sword tomb belongs to Yuehua Sect, and naturally, everything inside the sword tomb also belongs to Yuehua Sect. Then this main key of mine must belong to Yuehua Sect as well."
"As the number one sect under heaven, Yuehua Sect is awe-inspiring. Elder Mu's cultivation is even more heaven-defying, he's a legendary Mahayana Stage cultivator." Yun Jin wore an expression of fear. "If he blocks me from taking anything away, I'm so scared that I wouldn't dare move an inch."
Mu Lan was on the verge of collapse.
What was Yun Jin pretending for?
She didn't look this scared earlier!
Now she's putting on an act!
And even if he had ten lives, he wouldn't dare call Yuehua Sect the number one sect under heaven!
Yun Jin still wasn't finished, she continued, "Look, every one of you is only at Soul Transformation Stage, but Elder Mu is already at Mahayana Stage. If he gets angry, with just one move, he could reduce all of us to ashes! I know you're all disciples of holy lands, with noble identities. But the situation is unfavorable now. This place is Yuehua Sect's domain, Elder Mu's domain!"
"So I have a suggestion. Let's all hand over our keys to Yuehua Sect. Then the secret realm of Wushuang Sect will naturally belong to Yuehua Sect as well. Only then can we keep our lives under Elder Mu's hands!"
Yun Jin spoke with deep emotion and convincing force. Mu Lan nearly felt like dying on the spot.
Even if he had ten guts, he wouldn't dare lay a hand on disciples of the holy lands. And this Yun Jin, someone who could make holy land disciples treat her with such deference was even more untouchable.
Mu Lan didn't know what Wushuang Sect was, nor what its secret treasury contained.
Yes, he was tempted, but he also knew that anything involving all four holy lands at once was not something he, nor Yuehua Sect, could afford to covet.
Once involved, it would likely mean the entire sect's annihilation.
Mu Lan trembled as he wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and hurriedly said, "No, no, no! That's absolutely not what I meant. The treasures of the world naturally belong to those capable of obtaining them. Yuehua Sect will not interfere with the sword tomb and the keys at all!"
Even as he said this, Mu Lan didn't dare raise his head.
"Oh?" Yun Jin looked surprised. "You really don't want them anymore? Elder Mu, I was just about to hand the keys to you."
"No, no, no," Mu Lan continued wiping his sweat.
Yun Jin laughed, "Then this is quite awkward. The sword tomb… and the keys, I'll really take them away, then?"
"As you should, as you should," Mu Lan said hurriedly.
Duan Yiwei frowned, unwilling to listen any further, and said directly, "Can you activate the keys now?"
"There's still no rush," Yun Jin replied calmly. "You've all already chosen your people. My main key can also bring five people, but I haven't chosen mine yet."
Duan Yiwei frowned, "Where are your people?"
"They haven't arrived yet. So I'll have to slowly wait," Yun Jin said.
Duan Yiwei ground his teeth, "Then how long are you planning to wait?"
Yun Jin snorted coldly, "Naturally until everyone arrives. If you can't wait, you're welcome to leave your auxiliary key behind and go. I can always have the auxiliary key choose a new owner."
The keys could actually choose new owners?
The expressions of several people subtly changed.
Ye Liuqin was the first to smile, "We cultivators have long lives. What's waiting a few days? Xuandan Sect is willing to wait."
Cheng Su didn't shy away as well, "Our Beast Taming Sect disciples lack nothing least of all patience."
Jin Yu said nothing, only nodded.
Duan Yiwei's face darkened. He clenched his teeth and said, "I'll wait too, but you'd better hurry up!"
"That's not something I can promise," Yun Jin said indifferently.
"You—" Duan Yiwei's eyes flashed with anger.
A mere Golden Core Stage cultivator actually dared to speak to him like this.
Very well, this Yun Jin had already earned a death sentence.
Once the secret treasury was opened, he would let her understand what it meant to offend him!
Duan Yiwei forcibly suppressed his anger, put away his auxiliary key, and said, "Then I'll wait here in Lin City. I advise you not to play any tricks, or you'll just be wasting everyone's time!"
After delivering his threat, he flicked his sleeve and left.
Jin Yu cupped his hands, "Junior Sister Yun, we will also remain here for the time being. If anything comes up, come find me at any time."
Yun Jin smiled and nodded.
Ye Liuqin and Cheng Su smiled as well and each took their leave.
These disciples of the four holy lands were all proud to the extreme. Other than Yun Jin, they paid no attention to anyone else.
Mu Lan was treated slightly better, he at least received a bit of acknowledgment.
As for everyone else, they didn't even enter their eyes.
Yu Lin stood to the side, barely daring to breathe. Only after the disciples of the four holy lands had left one after another did he finally let out a small sigh of relief.
However, in the next instant.
Yun Jin locked onto her target and walked straight up to Yu Lin.
"Patriarch Yu."
Yu Lin's whole body stiffened. There's even a trace of fear in his eyes as he looked at Yun Jin, "Y-Yun… Immortal."
Yun Jin raised her eyebrows, "Earlier, didn't the Yu Family say that whoever cleared the sword tomb could make one request of the Yu Family? Is that correct?"
In his heart, Yu Lin cried out in misery and glanced at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan immediately looked away, not daring to interject at all.
Before fully understanding the situation, he didn't dare provoke Yun Jin again.
"Patriarch Yu, I am asking you a question." Yun Jin said coldly
Yu Lin jolted and hurriedly replied, "That's correct. May I ask what the Fairy's request is?"
Yu Lin was extremely uneasy. He's terrified that Yun Jin would propose something he absolutely couldn't accomplish.
Yun Jin said calmly, "I won't make things difficult for you. I want all the belongings left behind by the previous patriarch. You should be able to do this much."
All of the previous patriarch's belongings?
Yu Songnian froze, then abruptly looked at Yun Jin.
He immediately understood.
Little Junior Sister's purpose in coming here this time had been for this all along.
