"Our Seventh Peak's affairs, since when has your Third Peak had the right to interfere?"
As a crisp voice rang out, everyone saw a ray of divine light shoot out and instantly blast onto the giant hand that suddenly appeared in the sky. Following this, a shockwave rippled out, instantly canceling out the attack.
"Who is that? How dare they obstruct Peak Master Di Renhai! And they actually managed to block Peak Master Di Renhai's strike!"
"Judging by their tone, they seem to be from the Seventh Peak. But aren't all the people from the Seventh Peak already here?"
"It looks like there's going to be some good drama."
"..."
As Di Renhai's strike was blocked, the disciples began to discuss amongst themselves. It seemed no one in the Azure Hall had ever dared to directly confront a Six Peak Master. What's more, they did it in the presence of the Sect Master.
"Who goes there! How dare you obstruct my investigation into the matters of the Azure Hall!" Di Renhai was also shocked by his strike being intercepted. Although he hadn't used his full strength, it was by no means something an ordinary person could block.
When everyone saw the newcomer, they were all stunned. It was a young man, no older than twenty, whom they had never seen before.
"Spirit Artifact Little Treasure?" Li Xuan looked towards the Seventh Peak, from where Little Treasure had flown, after seeing the giant hand lunging at him being dispersed.
The newcomer was indeed Little Treasure.
Little Treasure looked exactly the same as before. However, his aura was exceptionally sharp.
Little Treasure nodded slightly at Li Xuan in response to his words, then looked up at the sky, as if piercing through the beam of light to gaze directly at Di Renhai. His voice grew colder, "A being in the Hua Yuan realm striking down upon a disciple of the advanced Xu Wo realm, and even harboring murderous intent in secret. Is this how you conduct yourself?"
Clearly, Little Treasure had seen through Di Renhai's hidden intentions.
Although Little Treasure wasn't as reverent towards Li Xuan as Xiao Bai, he knew the relationship between Xiao Bai and Li Xuan. If Li Xuan were to suffer any harm, Xiao Bai would naturally be saddened. Xiao Bai would never allow such a thing to happen.
Moreover, if Little Treasure hadn't arrived in time, Li Xuan would likely have fallen prey to Di Renhai's scheme.
"What kind of reckless brat are you, to dare point fingers at my conduct!" Di Renhai was even more shocked. His strike had gone unnoticed by even the Sect Master An Batian. Yet, it was discovered by this young man.
Luo Kang's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. He then took a deep breath and directly prostrated himself before Little Treasure, "Seventh Peak Steward Elder, pays respects to the Spirit Artifact!"
Boom!
With Luo Kang's bow, all the disciples present, including An Batian, Di Renhai, and the other four Peak Masters in the sky, were stunned and wore expressions of disbelief.
Of course, none of the seven were ordinary individuals. Their minds raced, and they immediately understood.
This young man before them was actually the Spirit Artifact of the Seven Treasures Hall!
"Are you truly the Spirit Artifact of the Seven Treasures Hall?" Even An Batian had to turn to Xiao Bai and ask.
"Are you referring to this object?" Little Treasure raised his left hand, and a tiny black dot instantly rose from his palm, then ascended into mid-air and rapidly enlarged.
Li Xuan was astonished by this. This black dot was actually a miniature replica of the Seven Treasures Hall.
"Seventh Peak disciple Su Yueze, pays respects to the Spirit Artifact!"
"Seventh Peak disciple Chai Jingyuan, pays respects to the Spirit Artifact!"
"Seventh Peak disciple He Xidong, pays respects to the Spirit Artifact!"
"Seventh Peak disciple Song Wuwen, pays respects to the Spirit Artifact!"
With the appearance of the Seven Treasures Hall, Su Yueze and the other three, who had not yet recovered from their shock, now all knelt down in reverence, looking at Little Treasure with ecstatic faces and shouting.
"Uh, Seventh Peak disciple Li Xuan, pays respects to the Spirit Artifact." Li Xuan forced a wry smile. Seeing that his master Luo Kang and his four senior brothers had all knelt, it would be awkward if he didn't.
Little Treasure glanced at everyone, then flicked his finger. A beam of spiritual light instantly entered Luo Kang's brow. The next moment, Luo Kang's aura underwent a transformation.
In less than ten breaths, Luo Kang's cultivation had advanced from the Hua Yuan realm directly to the Hua Wu realm. He was now only three ranks away from Di Renhai.
Following Little Treasure's display, An Batian and the other seven in the sky now all looked at Little Treasure with solemn expressions.
The disciples present did not understand the Seven Treasures Hall as clearly as they did. Once recognized by the Seven Treasures Hall, one would become the Peak Master of the Seventh Peak. This was something even An Batian could not change.
And now, Little Treasure, as the Spirit Artifact of the Seven Treasures Hall, had personally formed a contract with Luo Kang.
"I never imagined that after thousands of years, the Seventh Peak would finally have a successor. Luo Kang, since you have become the Peak Master of the Seventh Peak, you must provide an explanation for the matter of the Ling Long Pond." After a moment, An Batian's eyes flickered as he looked at Luo Kang and said.
"Sect Master, regarding the Ling Long Pond, I have a general understanding of the cause and effect. As for the Tyrant Dragon Blood Fruit, Sect Master, do you think Li Xuan's strength would have allowed him to obtain it?" Luo Kang asked, his expression unwavering, as he looked up at the sky.
An Batian was also taken aback. He had been focused on investigating the Ling Long Pond and had overlooked this point.
As everyone knew, obtaining something like the Tyrant Dragon Blood Fruit required the strength of two cultivators at the Hua Wu realm. Although Luo Kang had possessed such strength before, An Batian knew that Luo Kang would never have done such a thing. Furthermore, Luo Kang alone was not sufficient.
Thinking of this, An Batian immediately understood. Li Xuan had indeed stumbled upon a windfall in the Ling Long Pond. The one who used the Tyrant Dragon Blood Fruit was undoubtedly someone else. With this thought, An Batian naturally arrived at his conclusion.
An Batian glanced back at Di Renhai, then waved his hand grandly.
"Disperse. This matter, I will investigate personally."
