This fellow's ambition was too great.
He wanted half of the treasures he obtained. He wanted to share the inheritance, and the only thing he wanted to do was to bring them to that cave.
Although Xiao You had found that cave, he wanted too much. It was hard for them to accept.
"I didn't hear it clearly just now. Say it again?" Zhu Yao looked at Xiao You and said, "Talking terms with him is fine, but your appetite has unexpectedly increased. You really don't know your place."
"What kind of person is the Terminator Sword Saint? He was once one of the thirty-six Saints, don't you all want to know what is in his cave?" Xiao You continued, "Moreover, I only want a portion that should belong to me. If it were you who had found the cave, I'm afraid that you would also have raised such a condition."
The crowd fell into silence, Xiao You's words were indeed not wrong.
If they found the cave, they probably wouldn't be willing to give the treasure to someone else. From this point of view, Xiao You's conditions weren't too excessive.
"Alright, I can agree to your conditions." Zhu Yao suddenly looked towards Xiao You and said. His previous attitude seemed to contradict his earlier attitude.
Qin Xuan looked deeply at Zhu Yao. Although he said that, he probably didn't think that way in his heart.
"Commander Zhu is indeed reasonable. I, Xiao, am forever grateful." Xiao You cupped his fists towards Zhu Yao and said with a bright smile on his face, as if what he had just said was from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing that Zhu Yao had agreed, the others naturally didn't object. They all agreed to Xiao You's conditions.
The first thing to do was to find the cave. He would deal with the rest later.
"Where is the cave?" Zhu Yao looked anxiously at Xiao You, as if he couldn't wait to unravel the secret of the cave and find what the Terminator Sword Saint had left behind.
He also had a burning desire for the Nihilum Sword Saint's legacy. If he could obtain it, his status in the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace would be raised by a lot. He might even be favored by Mu Wang and have a closer relationship with Mu Jinyu.
Mu Jinyu was a noble princess with a golden body, outstanding beauty, and an unparalleled temperament. She was the Dao companion that countless young men yearned for in their dreams, and Zhu Yao was no exception.
"Everyone, please follow me." Xiao You spoke to the crowd. Then, his body soared into the sky and flew off in another direction. The rest of the people followed behind him.
"Even though Xiao You had ostensibly agreed to bring us to the cave, this person is extremely crafty. We still have to be careful and not act rashly." Ying Wuming secretly warned the members of the Qilin Mercenary Group, causing them to nod their heads in response.
At this moment, Qin Xuan was thinking about something else.
Anything related to him was enough to startle countless people. Although the Mu palace had also sent people over, Zhu Yao was not strong enough. When it came time for him to fight over the treasures, he might not even be able to get his hands on them.
After all, the major mercenary groups and those who came here, independent cultivator, were no pushovers. Who would care about the power they held in the face of such huge benefits?
The Mu palace had not made sufficient preparations for this matter. It was as though they did not place much importance on the legacy of the Terminator Sword Saint.
However, this thought only flashed through Qin Xuan's mind. The Mu palace's thoughts had nothing to do with him, so he could act accordingly.
Not long after, they saw Xiao You, who was standing at the very front, stop and walk down. The crowd followed him, and soon, a square cave appeared in their line of sight.
"This is the cave where the Terminator Sword Saint lived." Xiao You pointed at the cave in front of them as he spoke.
The crowd's gaze was focused on the square cave and did not discover anything special about it. It was as if it was just an ordinary cave.
"How do you prove that this cave is related to the Terminator Sword Saint?" Zhu Yao glanced at Xiao You and asked.
Xiao You smiled and said, "Didn't everyone notice that this area is different from other places?"
Only after Xiao You's reminder did everyone realize the strangeness of this place. The amount of Sword Intent here was much denser than in other places.
Perhaps, it had something to do with this cave.
"Based on this alone, you determined that this is the Terminator Sword Saint's cave?" Zhu Yao asked as he stared at Xiao You. Wasn't this a bit too child's play?
"Of course it's not just that. I've entered the cave before, and there are some words carved into the walls. They seem to be sword arts. Who else would leave behind sword arts other than the Terminator Sword Saint?" Xiao You calmly replied to Zhu Yao's question.
"There's a sword art's art inside!"
The expressions of the crowd trembled as their hearts raced. Could the sword art's true form be the inheritance of the Terminator Sword Saint?
Qin Xuan had the same thought as the others, but he felt that something was off. What kind of person was the Terminator Sword Saint? He shouldn't be so casual.
"Let's take a look inside!" Zhu Yao's silhouette flashed across the air, taking the lead and rushing into the cave. The others didn't dare to fall behind, fearing that they would miss something.
There weren't any restrictions placed on the cave entrance, allowing the crowd to enter easily. Their gazes shifted onto a stone wall within the cave, upon which a few words were indeed engraved. However, when they saw the words on the wall, their expressions froze.
"How could this be?" The eyes of the crowd were filled with disappointment, as well as bewilderment.
Indeed, there were some sword art manuals engraved on it. However, it was the most ordinary sword art, without any profoundness.
This definitely was not a legacy of the Terminator Sword Saint.
Seeing those words on the stone wall, Zhu Yao's expression became extremely ugly. He suddenly turned to look at Xiao You and angrily said, "Is this the sword art manual you spoke of?"
"Exactly." Xiao You nodded with a smile. "I wanted to tell Commander Zhu just now, but unfortunately, you were too impatient and didn't give me the chance to speak."
Zhu Yao was momentarily speechless. He had heard the sword art manuals, so he rushed in. But who knew that the technique manuals were actually so ordinary?
"Such a common sword technique might have been carved by someone else, but it has nothing to do with the Terminator Sword Saint." Someone said.
Some people nodded in agreement. Putting aside the content on the stone wall, the words themselves did not have anything special. Even those without cultivation could carve them. It did not mean that they were carved by the Terminator Sword Saint.
"Even though I can't prove that these words were carved by the Terminator Sword Saint, it's true that there are dense Sword Intent around here. It's very likely to have something to do with the Terminator Sword Saint. I've asked everyone to come here so that we can find a way to solve the mysteries within." Xiao You said to the crowd.
Upon hearing his words, the crowd nodded their heads lightly. After which, they turned their attention to other areas within the cave.
However, Qin Xuan's gaze never left the words on the stone wall. He had a strong intuition that these words were not as simple as they seemed!
