Chapter 708: Golden Stone Sec (2/2)

The Golden Stone Sect, however, was only a subordinate force of the Trisword Sect. They were to the Trisword Sect what the Lei Clan was to the Divine Flame Sect.

She seemed to be convinced that their only early Void domain expert wouldn’t appear in this place, so she didn’t seem worried.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Within moments, numerous air-transportation spiritual tools that shone with bright, golden light arrived and surrounded the ancient starship.

A middle Soul realm expert from the Golden Stone Sect was clad in a suit of golden armor. Under his awe-inspiring appearance, his eyes shone with the light of greed.

He laughed wildly and shouted, “We’ve finally found this ancient starship left by the Golden Vast Sect! Months of painstaking searching didn’t go to waste!”

Standing on other air-transportation spiritual tools, hundreds of other Golden Stone Sect Qi warriors seemed to be in high spirits upon hearing his words.

Hundreds of years ago, the Golden Stone Sect had accidentally gained a special item that had turned out to be a piece from an ancient starship from the Golden Vast Sect.

Afterwards, the Golden Stone Sect had scanned every realm in the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries with the help of that item, but had found nothing.

However, about a hundred years ago, a powerful expert of the Golden Stone Sect had accidentally discovered that the item in his hands had shown changes as he passed by this forbidden region.

Since then, he had been convinced that an ancient starship from the Golden Vast Sect had crashed, and been left in this region.

At the beginning, exploration teams from the Golden Stone Sect hadn’t dared to make any major moves, but only examined the outermost areas of the region.

But later, they had discovered that this region had gone through changes, and they had been able to enter it.

Therefore, the Golden Stone Sect had sent out almost all of their most powerful experts to search for that ancient starship.

However, the Golden Stone Sect and the Golden Vast Sect actually didn’t have anything to do with each other. They just happened to practice incantations of the same attribute.

That was why they had spared no cost to find the ancient starship lost by the Golden Vast Sect since the moment they had learned about the existence of that abandoned ancient starship.

“Hmm?!” The smile froze on the face of the bulky old man in golden armor as he discovered Qiao Yunxi and Nie Tian.

“What are you doing here, Elder Mao?” Qiao Yunxi asked coldly.

“Miss... Miss Qiao!” Mao Mingyuan went blank briefly before waving at his people, signaling them to hold on and keep quiet.

Many Worldly realm and Profound realm Qi warriors from the Golden Stone Sect went silent upon seeing the Flame Bird, which was known throughout the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries.

They all knew that its owner was the future sectmaster of the Divine Flame Sect. Every Qi warrior in the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries knew that.

Since Qiao Yunxi was here, there were probably other Divine Flame Sect disciples in the vicinity.

Now that she was already standing before the ancient starship, it would be very difficult for them to take it from the Divine Flame Sect’s hands.

Mao Mingyuan appeared to be on the verge of tears as he clasped his hands and bowed towards Qiao Yunxi. “Miss Qiao, we’ve been looking for this ancient starship from the Golden Vast Sect for hundreds of years now. Would you please be so kind as to let us have it? We’ll be forever grateful!”

“You’ve been looking for it for hundreds of years?” Qiao Yunxi asked, seeming intrigued. “So tell me how you came to know that it was here?”

“We gained a special item by accident, and that item turned out to be from this very ancient starship. We searched throughout the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries, but failed to find anything. Only recently did one of our elders discover that...” Mao Mingyuan went on and briefly explained the matter. Then, he begged, “Young mistress, this ancient starship is severely damaged. You can’t fix it or take it back. You might as well do us a favor and give it to us.”

Qiao Yunxi snorted coldly. “I can’t take it back, but my sect can.”

Mao Mingyuan gave a dry smile and sighed. “Well… How on earth will you agree to let us have it? We’re willing to give anything in return.”

Qiao Yunxi held her head high, an arrogant expression filling her face. “That’ll depend on whether you have anything that can make me change my mind.”

Nie Tian laughed inwardly as he watched her blackmail those from the Golden Stone Sect.

He was well-aware that the two of them had long since lost contact with the Divine Flame Sect’s main force.

If these people from the Golden Stone Sect knew about that, they probably wouldn’t have adopted such a tone. They might even try to attack them.

However, they didn’t.

Considering Qiao Yunxi’s lofty status, they had never known her to travel by herself. Even if she wanted to, the Divine Flame Sect wouldn’t allow it.

It was the Divine Flame Sect behind Qiao Yunxi that Mao Mingyuan was afraid of.

He suspected that Qiao Yunxi had already informed the Divine Flame Sect of her discoveries, and powerful experts from the Divine Flame Sect would soon gather to this place.

If that was the case, each and every one of them would die if they dared to do anything to Qiao Yunxi.
