When they heard this, all the members of the various groups immediately raised their guard.
No matter how they listened to this, it didn’t seem like this person was planning on doing something friendly. It sounded like they wanted to…finish them off…
Lei Feng took the lead and stood out in front as he said, “Honourable one, we have no intentions of causing you any harm. We were simply brought here into this Minor World because of an accident. As long as you allow us to return to our world, we and the powers behind us will be very grateful towards you.”
After he said this, all of the other young masters and young missus started backing him up.
They also started talking about just how powerful their sects or the powers behind them were in their world.
However, there wasn’t a single word that was said by the voice of the talisman.
The way that the sparrow spirit beast floated there, it was almost as if it was just enjoying the show rather than actually listening to what they said.
It wasn’t as if the young masters and young missus couldn’t understand this. They could immediately see what was happening, but they couldn’t stop.
After all, this was the only thing that they could do.
It was their lives that were on the line, so it wasn’t as if they could just give up on that.
No matter what they had to do, it was their lives that was the most important thing.
After a few minutes of them bragging about how strong the forces behind them were and how they would be able to greatly reward the voice of the talisman, they finally started slowing down.
Even if they wanted to keep going, they couldn’t help feeling more and more despair from this desperate situation.
It was at this time that the voice of the talisman suddenly said, “Are you done?”
Everyone couldn’t help knitting their brows the moment that they heard this.
Even a fool would be able to recognize the hostility that was in the voice of this talisman. Even a fool would be able to recognize that they weren’t moved at all by anything that had been offered to them.
So they knew that it was pointless to keep trying.
Instead, Lei Feng asked, “What do you want?”
This time, instead of spinning his words to make himself sound more important, he directly asked the voice of the talisman what they wanted.
He knew that there would be no point in delaying this any further, so it was best to be as direct as possible.
It was just too bad that the voice of the talisman didn’t want to do the same.
There was a long silence that followed after Lei Feng said this before the voice of the talisman suddenly burst out into laughter. This laughter continued ringing throughout the air and it slowly started grating on their nerves.
This laughter…it wasn’t the laughter of someone that was laughing along with them…
Rather, this laughter was the laughter of someone that was laughing at them.
It was clear at this point that the voice of the talisman had no intention of making any deal with them. It was clear that the voice of the talisman only wanted to harm them.
Since it made it this clear, there was no need for them to continue humoring the voice of the talisman.
Lei Feng led the way as he said, “Have you really thought this through? Do you really think that there’s anything to gain from harming us? Do you really think that you’ll be able to survive the wrath of the powers behind us?”
The laughter continued to ring out without stopping, almost as if the voice of the talisman was mocking them.
Lei Feng then said, “Do you really think that we have no way of getting out of this? Do you really think that you can do anything to us?”
Though he said this in a confident voice, he and the others had all slowly started moving towards the exit of this canyon. The way that they slowly moved over there made it very clear that they were planning on escaping.
The laughter continued to ring out all around them as if it was still mocking them.
Eventually, these young masters and young missus couldn’t take it anymore as they cursed out at the voice of the talisman.
But that was actually all a distraction.
While they were shouting out curses at the voice of the talisman, they all started dashing at the exit of the canyon. It didn’t matter who was in their way, they all tried to be the first one out.
They knew that the first one out would have the highest chance of escaping with their lives.
But even though the voice of the talisman knew what was happening, the sparrow spirit beast didn’t do a thing. It just kept flying there as if it wasn’t bothered at all by any of this.
The young masters and young missus, along with their followers were all very confused by this. Still, they didn’t let themselves stop for a single second as they kept running for the exit.
Unfortunately for them, they never made it to the exit.
As they were about to step into the exit, there was something that suddenly stopped them.
The one that had been running in front of the pack was one of the young masters.
Right as he was about to step out of this clearing and onto the path out, he was suddenly stopped by something. Then before he could react, it was like he had been hit with a ton of bricks as he was sent flying back through the crowd.
Everyone behind him was able to react in time, or else they would have all been caught in that momentum and sent flying with him.
This young master flew right past them before sliding to a stop in the middle of the clearing.
He was still able to move in the end, but there was a large patch of blood on his face. It was his nose that had been shattered by the force that he had been hit with and it was still dripping blood.
When they saw this, everyone suddenly stopped moving and jumped back from the exit of the canyon.
They didn’t know exactly what had hit the young master, but they knew that there was a trap that had been set at the exit. They knew that there was something there that was preventing them from leaving.
As soon as they realized this, they turned back to look at the sparrow spirit beast flying there in the sky with the talisman on its back. They knew that they had been completely played by the voice of the talisman.
At the same time, they noticed that the voice of the talisman had finally stopped laughing at them.
They could feel a gaze on them that seemed to be coming from the talisman in the air, but they couldn’t tell just where it was coming from exactly.
After another long period of silence, Lei Feng finally asked, “Just what do you want?”
There was no negotiation, there was no threat, there was no pleading, this was just a simple question that held all of his doubts.
No matter how he thought about it, it didn’t make sense that the owner of this Minor World would have a grudge on them to the point where they would torture them like this. He had thought about everything that this could possibly be about, but there wasn’t a single possibility that he could think of.
So now he was genuinely curious what this was about.
A pause followed this before the voice of the talisman said, “Isn’t it all because of your greed that this is happening?”
Everyone couldn’t help looking even more confused when they heard this.
What greed was this person talking about?
The fact that they thought this meant that they had completely forgotten that they were the ones that had charged into this place. They were the ones that had followed Bi Qing through that door and had been eventually teleported to this place.
They did all of this to claim the rewards of the tournament.
But they had forgotten that they were the ones here trying to claim treasures.
It was as if they thought that these treasures naturally belonged to them.
That was the arrogance that they had as young masters and young missus.
But when one listened carefully, they would be able to hear something else in the voice of the talisman. It was as if they weren’t talking about the greed of wanting the treasures all for themselves, but the greed of something else.
It was like they were talking about an entirely different event.
Seeing that these young masters and young missus were all confused by what they had said, the voice of the talisman gave a sigh before saying, “This is what’s wrong with all of you. The arrogance that you show is truly something else.”
All of them couldn’t help knitting their brows when they heard this.
Especially the ones from the righteous sects.
They considered themselves righteous and humble, so when they were called arrogant by the voice of the talisman, it hurt them on a personal level.
But before they could even argue with the voice of the talisman on this, the voice of the talisman suddenly said something.
“Do you know about the Love Sect?”
