"If I hadn't reacted in time, I would have let you steal the treasure. If I let you go easily, the next time I want to steal someone else's treasure, I will cripple your cultivation and remove this evil for the world!" The middle-aged man coldly stated, as he raised his palms, intending to slam them down at the person below.
When the crowd saw this, their hearts couldn't help but tremble. Could it be that his cultivation was directly crippled?
However, if what the middle-aged man said was true and that person really did almost steal his treasure, then crippling his cultivation was nothing much.
The black-clothed youth held his head up high. Even though his cultivation base was far below that of the middle-aged man, his gaze was still fixed on that young man, filled with rage and unwillingness. He only hated himself for being too weak, otherwise how could he be so bullied.
Just as the palm of the middle-aged man was about to land, a slightly cold voice rang out from the side, "Hold it."
As soon as the voice fell, a powerful pressure suddenly burst forth from the crowd below, descending upon the middle-aged man. His expression immediately changed as he felt a hand latch onto his body, suppressing all the power within him, preventing him from releasing it.
"What happened?"
Many people cried out in alarm, clearly not expecting such a turn of events. After which, they all turned their gazes in a certain direction, and the crowd immediately dispersed, only to see four silhouettes appearing there.
All of a sudden, the four people were in full focus.
The middle-aged man looked over and his gaze landed on Qin Xuan. The reason for that was because that powerful aura was emanating from Qin Xuan's body.
"Saint!" The middle-aged man's heart couldn't help but tremble as an expression of amazement appeared on his face. It was as though he had seen something inconceivable.
Although this person looked very young, the aura he was emitting was very strong, completely suppressing his own power. This meant that this person's cultivation level was far above his, and he had already reached the peak of the Great Emperor Realm. In that case, this person could only be a Saint.
Someone with such a young Saint Stage was simply too rare, and could only come from a top power.
Why would such a character come to the Nine Continents?
The middle-aged man's heart was filled with doubt, but at the same time, he felt a sense of unease. Earlier, this person had called out to him and even released his pressure, clearly preventing him from taking action. Did he discover something?
However, he was not here just now. It was impossible for him to see what had happened. He did not have any evidence, so how could he know the truth?
The middle-aged man's eyes turned cold as he suppressed the various thoughts in his heart. He acted as if nothing had happened as he looked at Qin Xuan with a puzzled expression and asked, "Sir, what do you mean by this?"
"I'm a bit curious, how did he steal your treasure just now? Why not demonstrate it on the spot?" Qin Xuan said indifferently. His expression was extremely calm, making it hard for people to guess what he was thinking.
Hearing Qin Xuan's words, the middle-aged man's face turned ugly and replied, "You suspect me of lying?"
"No, I'm just curious." Qin Xuan revealed a faint smile: "A person with Middle Rank of Monarch Stage, in the end, how did he almost steal your treasure? I am at a loss after thinking about it.
After Qin Xuan's words were spoken, the crowd all looked at him with a strange expression. They thought to themselves, "Is this person joking? Let me see how he will steal the treasures?"
Such an eccentric request was truly unheard-of.
"If you want to see it, then just use the treasures on your own body. Using the treasures of others to satisfy your own requirements is a bit too excessive." A sharp glint flashed through the eyes of the middle-aged man. Although his tone was still polite, his words already contained a hint of dissatisfaction.
He naturally understood that Qin Xuan wasn't trying to broaden his horizons; he was obviously trying to make things difficult for him.
Otherwise, he would not have made such a rude request.
"Too much?" Qin Xuan had a look of interest on his face, as if he didn't care about the middle-aged man's words. He looked at the crowd, smiled and said, "Don't you want to know?"
The gazes of the crowd became increasingly strange. They were unable to figure out Qin Xuan's thoughts. Someone opened his mouth and said: "I'm also very curious, how did he steal the treasures."
The speaker didn't believe the middle-aged man's words, but due to his strength, he didn't dare to say much. Now that someone had stepped forward and even suppressed the middle-aged man, he didn't have any qualms.
Seeing someone speak, many voices sounded out from the crowd, "Why don't we demonstrate it on the spot and let us have a taste of it?"
Hearing the voice coming from the crowd, the middle-aged man's expression turned ugly. He knew that if he did not agree to Qin Xuan's request, he was afraid that he would not be able to leave this place easily.
"Since you want to know this much, I will fulfill your request. However, after this is over, please do not make any further excessive requests." The middle-aged man looked at Qin Xuan and said in a deep voice, his voice revealed a bit of a Resentment.
"Alright, I agree." Qin Xuan nodded. His face was still calm, as if everything was under his control.
After which, the middle-aged man flipped his palm upwards and a resplendent light shone out. It was a rock, the eyes of the crowd were instantly attracted by it as expressions of shock filled their faces.
That stone was clearly not an ordinary object. On it circulated an extremely terrifying Power of thunder, it was definitely at the peak of the Emperor Realm. Even if they were to look at it from afar, they would be able to sense how powerful the energy from the stone was.
Ordinary Emperor level characters wouldn't be able to withstand a single strike from it.
Qin Xuan's eyes also revealed a strange expression. He naturally discovered that the stone was extraordinary as well. A person with Middle Rank of Monarch Stage wouldn't be able to control that level of power, if it was placed on one's body, one's body would probably explode and die.
Could it be that the middle-aged man's words were true?
However, he soon realized that something was amiss. How could that black-clothed youth steal such a terrifying treasure? Wasn't he courting death?
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan looked at the black robed youth and asked with a voice transmission, "Is the treasure really yours?"
Hearing Qin Xuan's voice, the black robed youth's expression changed slightly before replying with one word: "Yes."
"How can you withstand the power of that stone?" Qin Xuan asked again.
"This is my privacy, I can't reveal it." The young man replied with a cold tone, as if he was very wary of Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression. He wanted to help this person get the treasure, but the other party's cold attitude was beyond his expectations.
"I'll give you a chance to prove it. If you can't prove that the treasure is yours, then I won't interfere in this matter." Qin Xuan transmitted his voice to the black clothed youth, and this time, the other party directly stopped responding.
Qin Xuan did not care about the other person's attitude. Perhaps this was his personality.
"How would you like to try?" The middle-aged man looked at Qin Xuan and asked.
"Since the treasure belongs to you, I'm sure you are connected to it. If you don't attack directly, let's see if he can take the treasure from your hands without making any sound," Qin Xuan said faintly.
Qin Xuan's words caused the middle-aged man's pupils to constrict. Although his expression remained calm, his heart was a bit flustered.
After all, he had just obtained the treasure and hadn't had the time to control it yet. The treasure still contained the soul of that young man, but his strength far exceeded that of the other party.
As long as the opponent was unable to accomplish this, it proved that the treasure belonged to him.
Thinking about this middle-aged man, his eyes flashed with a hidden sharpness. He looked at Qin Xuan and said, "Alright, I will do as you say!"
