"So that's how it is," Wu Tian smiled as Li Gang finally relented.
He said, "Since that's the case, then the matter of the trial is considered passed. Let's talk about something else."
"Something else?" Li Gang was startled, then asked cautiously, "What is this 'something else'? Is there anything else between us?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Yes, of course, and it's not a small matter."
"Have you forgotten that we have a conflict? Oh right, you definitely haven't forgotten, otherwise you wouldn't be targeting me like this."
Li Gang became even more nervous. He said nervously, "Well... I admit, what I said before was indeed problematic. I admit my mistake, and I apologize to you."
"I was too hot-headed at the time. Now I understand completely. I shouldn't have done that, so can we just let this matter go?"
In fact, with Li Gang's personality, he never admitted his mistakes. Many times, it was clearly his fault, but he still wouldn't admit it.
But now he had no choice. Who told him he wasn't Wu Tian's match?
If he dared to oppose Wu Tian now, not only him, but the entire Kuang Jian Sect would be overturned!
But even though he had softened, Wu Tian still smiled and said, "Just let it go?"
"Am I the boss now, or are you? You just open and close your mouth and say 'let it go,' wouldn't that make me lose face?"
"Then what do you want?" Li Gang was completely at a loss for what to do with Wu Tian, so he could only resort to this compromising way of asking.
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Relax, you don't need to be so nervous. I'm not that unreasonable, so I won't make things too difficult for you."
"Since you've already apologized to me, I'll let you off for now."
"But letting you off comes with conditions. How about you give me your sword?"
"My sword?" Li Gang was stunned, then couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean? Didn't you break my sword? What can I give you!"
"No, no, no," Wu Tian smiled and said, "You misunderstood me. I don't want that broken sword of yours."
"I'm talking about your sword worth three hundred million."
"What did you say?!" Hearing Wu Tian say that, Li Gang was stunned.
He then said incredulously, "You... you want that sword? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Wu Tian said with a smile, "What's inappropriate about it? That sword was originally what I had my eye on."
"It's just that you insisted on snatching it from me. Since you want me to apologize now, it's only natural to make amends, right?"
Li Gang naturally didn't want to. To buy that sword, he had practically cut off a piece of his own flesh!
How could he accept giving it to Wu Tian just like that?
So he said with a troubled expression, "This... how about you change your request? I really can't give you that sword..."
"Can't give it?" Wu Tian's eyes narrowed slightly. "Is this a matter you can discuss with me?"
"Who is apologizing to whom now? Me to you, or you to me?"
"If you can't accept my condition, that's fine too. However, I'm afraid I'll have to find another way to resolve this conflict."
As he spoke, a sharp killing intent emanated from Wu Tian.
This killing intent directly enveloped Li Gang, and Li Gang immediately felt as if he were being sliced into a thousand pieces.
Then, he heard Wu Tian's cold voice: "You understand, don't you?"
Li Gang was so scared that his soul seemed to shatter.
At this moment, he no longer had any intention of resisting Wu Tian, because resisting... would mean death!
He quickly nodded and said, "I understand, I understand. Here, I'll give you whatever you want. Will that do?"
Wu Tian smiled and nodded, "That's great. In that case, I'll trouble you."
Li Gang felt like crying but had no tears. He thought, what the hell was this?
He, the dignified sect leader, was repeatedly outmaneuvered by Wu Tian. Wasn't this too surreal?
But as things stood, he had no choice. He could only honestly hand over the pass token and the long sword worth three hundred million to Wu Tian.
After getting what he wanted, Wu Tian left the Kuang Jian Sect directly.
At this time, Yang Huilan was still there, so Wu Tian directly gave the long sword to Yang Huilan.
Yang Huilan was naturally overjoyed by this.
She had already prepared to go home, but this time she didn't leave and stayed there, spending another comfortable night with Wu Tian.
The next day, Wu Tian and Yang Huilan parted ways, and he took a plane directly to K Province.
The place he was going to this time was called the Ling Zhen Sect, a church composed of a group of spirit array masters.
The so-called spirit array masters were people who specialized in setting up arrays. Their individual combat power might not be great, but once they formed an array, they could unleash powerful forces.
Such opponents were very dangerous. As long as one accidentally fell into an array, the consequences would be dire.
After staying in the city for a day, Wu Tian went directly to the Ling Zhen Sect.
The Ling Zhen Sect was located on a mountain. From a distance, the white buildings gave off a somewhat ethereal and pure feeling.
Wu Tian walked up the stone steps and saw two gatekeeping disciples, both dressed in white, appearing quite elegant.
Wu Tian walked up and cupped his fists, saying, "Hello, I was invited by Su Qiannai. I'm looking for your Sect Leader. Could you please announce my arrival?"
The gatekeeping disciples nodded and said, "No problem, please wait a moment."
After speaking, one of the gatekeeping disciples went up the stairs.
Seeing this, Wu Tian felt quite good about them. After all, he hadn't met many gatekeeping disciples who could speak so politely.
Soon, the gatekeeping disciple came back down.
He made a gesture for Wu Tian to enter and said, "Our Sect Leader invites you up. Please follow me."
"Okay." Wu Tian nodded, then followed the gatekeeping disciple up and entered the main hall.
There were several people standing in the hall, who seemed to be the leaders of the Ling Zhen Sect.
And in the center of those people stood a woman in a white dress.
The woman looked to be in her forties, but she was still full of charm. It could be seen that she must have been a great beauty in her youth.
However, even now, she was incredibly beautiful, giving people a feeling of not daring to look directly at her.
The gatekeeping disciple said respectfully to her, "Sect Leader, the person has arrived."
Hearing this, Wu Tian was a bit surprised. He hadn't expected this woman to be the Sect Leader of the Ling Zhen Sect.
