Chapter Eleven Encounter

  The atmosphere in the stone room suddenly became quiet, Li Tianxiang and Haiyun both looked at the red Xuanji sword in Haotian's hand with envy, they wanted to snatch it away, but they didn't dare!

  Long before entering the Seven Product Mountain Range, when Hai Tian and that Sword King were fighting, he had already made his move with the sword spirit attack. Li Tian Xiang knew he was no match for him. If he forced himself to make a move at this moment, he would definitely be the one to lose.

  Having a sword spirit and not having one are two completely different stages. A single One-Star Swordsman can easily defeat more than ten Nine-Stage Swordsmen, that's the difference.

  After some deliberation, Li Tianxiang gave up. Although he wanted that sword very much, his life was even more important.

  "It's nothing, I'm just a bit surprised, you don't have to be nervous." Li Tianxiang dryly laughed twice to cover up the envy and jealousy in his heart. However, what Li Tianxiang didn't know was that although Haitian had condensed a sword spirit, it was only a segment of sword energy, and in terms of true strength, he wasn't even an opponent for Li Tianxiang.

  Seeing Li Tianxiang give up, Xiaoyu shifted her gaze to Haiyun on the side: "What do you say!"

  "Hai Yun really wanted to snatch the sword from Hai Tian's hand, but even Li Tian Xiang didn't dare to oppose Hai Tian, would he be a match for Hai Tian?"

  He indeed hated Haitian, but he also knew that he was not Haitian's opponent at the moment. However, he was extremely reluctant to let Haitian get his hands on the Xuanjie sword.

  The atmosphere was completely frozen for a moment.

  With a few swings of the sword, Haitian raised his head and saw what Haiyun was thinking with one glance. He sneered: "If you want the sword, get it with your own skills. I think there won't be only this one sword in this cave, right?"

  "Really! How could I have forgotten!" Not just Haiyun, even Li Tianxiang's eyes lit up.

  This cave is quite large, and there must be more than one sword inside. Who knows, maybe in other places, there are even better swords hidden, and they might be even better than the one in Ha Tian's hand.

  As soon as they thought of this, the two people's depressed mood quickly recovered, and they walked out directly along the passage at the other end of the stone room, as if countless swords were wandering in front of them.

  After seeing the two of them leave completely, Hai Tian also let out a long sigh of relief. If the two of them had really rushed forward together, he wouldn't have been able to protect this Xuanjie primary sword after all.

  Gently patting Xiaoyu's shoulder, Haitian smiled and said, "Xiaoyu, let's go! Our harvest journey has just begun!"

  "But Xiaoyu frowned and worriedly said, 'Tian Ge, let's hurry up and catch up with them. If they get there first, it won't be good.'"

  "Don't worry, do you think this sword is that easy to get? I'm sure those two will suffer a lot. Besides, the things in this cave are originally ownerless, whoever has the ability gets it, we don't need to stop them." Haitian isn't a selfish person, and doesn't go to stop Litiianxiang and Haiyun either.

  Even with his predecessor's lessons, it was not easy to obtain a sword.

  Just as Haitian and others continued to explore the cave, Hai Wuya and his group were still stuck on the second layer of membrane. The defensive power of this thin membrane was unexpectedly strong, and even if they all attacked with all their might, they couldn't break through it.

  Instead, each of them was hit by the energy that bounced back from the thin membrane, and even the white-robed old man couldn't completely dodge it, with many colors hanging on his body.

  "Gentlemen, I'm sure you've all experienced the formidable defensive power of this membrane firsthand. Does anyone have a way to break through it? Otherwise, we can only retreat." The tribal chief of Saru's face was filled with bitterness.

  They entered the treasure mountain but could only return empty-handed, which would make anyone uncomfortable.

  "We don't have the strength of a Sword King, so it's normal that we can't break through." Hai Wuyan said coldly.

  That white-robed old man immediately glared at Hai Wuya and said, "What did you say? Are you implying that I'm all talk and no action?"

  "How dare you, you're the Sword King's senior, and we're just great swordsmen. According to what you said, if you can't break it, then even if all of us combined wouldn't be able to break it either." Hai Wuya was very annoyed by the white-robed old man's condescending attitude earlier, so he deliberately made a cold mockery from the side.

  The old man in white was enraged by these words, and immediately puffed out his chest, glared with his eyes wide open, and shouted: "You little brat, you have the guts to say it again? Believe me, I'll chop you into pieces right now?"

  The atmosphere between the two families suddenly became tense. As the master of the Hai family, Hai Wuya would not back down at this time. If he backed down, it would mean that the Hai family had admitted defeat, and then the white-robed old man could do whatever he wanted to them.

  "Stop arguing, listen quickly, it seems like there's a sound coming from behind!" The atmosphere between the two families became even more tense, but just at this moment, the voice of the Saru tribe's chief rang out.

  Everyone's heart relaxed, and they immediately pricked up their ears to listen. As expected, from behind the thin membrane, some faint footsteps could be heard from time to time. If it weren't for the fact that the people present were relatively powerful, they might have missed this faint sound.

  "Salu tribe leader, could it be that there are still others living in this cave?" Hai Wuya asked first.

  The Salu tribe leader also had a puzzled face: "It shouldn't be possible that there are other people. We've already investigated, this cave has been abandoned for a long time, and even if someone else came in to search for treasure like us, how did they break through the protective film in front of us?" Is there another entrance?

  The crowd fell silent once again, and Saru's words were extremely reasonable.

  The footsteps grew louder and could be clearly distinguished as more than one. Hai Wuya and the others all forced themselves to be brave, but no one knew whether the owner of the footsteps was friend or foe.

  "Everyone be careful and on guard!" The three masters secretly instructed.

  However, when the owner of those footsteps appeared, the masters of the three families were dumbfounded.

  "Heavens soar!" The master of the Li family and the white-robed old man exclaimed with wide eyes.

  "Heavens! Clouds, and even a light rain, how did you all end up inside the cave mansion?" The Hai family members were also stunned, no one had expected that the owners of these footsteps would be their younger generation who they had left outside.

  Haitian and the others were also quite surprised, they had just walked out of that passage earlier and encountered a fork in the road, then randomly chose one to walk over, who would have thought it would lead them here.

  "Father!" Li Tianxiang excitedly called out, although they hadn't encountered any more swordsmen on the way, he was able to enter here one step ahead of the top masters of the three major families, which was enough to make him proud.

  Xiao Yu also excitedly shouted and rushed towards the masters of the three major families along with Li Tianxiang and Hai Yun.

  But Hai Tian suddenly shouted loudly: "Everyone stop!"

  Xiao Yu and the others were stunned, unable to understand why Hai Tian would say such a thing. When they turned around, however, they couldn't help but be stunned again. The thin membrane that had been troubling the three families' experts for so long suddenly lit up, its radiance quite dazzling.

  A cluster of red flames suddenly shot out from the thin membrane, and Hai Tian immediately rushed up, with the sword spirit power in his body quickly gathering on the newly acquired Xuanjie sword, and swung it out fiercely.

  The majestic sword spirit power was sprayed out through the long sword, directly piercing through that layer of red flames, heavily colliding with the surface of that thin membrane.

  "Ka-ka-ka..." A series of sounds like shattering glass suddenly rang out, and the ultra-strong protective film that had been troubling the three families' masters shattered just like that.

  It's not just Xiaoyu and others, even the masters of the three major families are all stunned.

  "This... how is this possible?" The white-robed old man was the first to notice the red long sword in Haitian's hand, his eyebrows furrowed, and he felt that the sword contained extremely powerful energy.

  "Tian'er, the sword in your hand..." Soon everyone came back to their senses and noticed that Haitian had an extra peculiar long sword in his hand. Hai Wuya even walked up directly and asked.

  "Father, you see this sword? It's a Xuanjie primary-level sword that I just obtained from the cave mansion." Haitian handed the long sword to Hai Wuya, believing that he wouldn't snatch it away.

  "A Xuanjie beginner's sword?" This remark was like a thunderclap in the ears of the top masters of the three families.

  Especially the white-robed old man, his eyes were fixed on the red long sword in Haotian's hand. He was now using only a yellow-level intermediate sword, while Haotian, a young cultivator who had just started practicing, already possessed a Xuan-level primary sword. Could this be balanced in his heart?

  Moreover, just now Haitian used this sword to break through the second layer of thin membrane that had been troubling them for a long time, which was enough to illustrate the ferocity of this long sword. The people present also thought that Haitian's ability was all thanks to this Xuanjie primary sword.

  Only Haitian himself was clear in his heart that he had just broken through the thin membrane, completely because the prohibition was a one-way defense. It was completely unguarded inside, with only a little attack method, and had nothing to do with the sword in his hand.

  "What a formidable sword! Tian'er, where did you get it?" Hai Wuya admired and took a closer look at the red long sword, but soon returned it to Hai Tian.

  "Not far away in the stone room, but it's already gone. This cave is very large, I reckon there are definitely more and even more powerful swords hidden elsewhere." Haitian furrowed his brow and guessed.

  The masters of the three major families all had their eyes burning with excitement, and even Hai Tian could obtain a Xuan-level beginner sword, let alone them.

  "Right, how did you get in? Is there another entrance?" The Salu tribe leader, who had been frowning all along, suddenly asked.

  "We entered from another entrance." Hai Tian then briefly told them about what had happened earlier, and when the masters of the three families heard that there were many formidable restrictions in this cave, they couldn't help but shudder.

  But the white-clothed old man did not interrupt, standing quietly to one side. Casting a glance at Haoyun who was gritting his teeth in the distance, a faint, unfathomable smile suddenly appeared on the face of the white-clothed old man:

  "This is even more fun."
