104 Mysterious Jade Slit Ring (1/2)

”I knew it, it's because of this thing.” Red Coral had an enlightened expression before she looked like she did not know whether she wanted to cry or laugh.

She obtained the item three days ago. During the stealing tribute quest she had meticulously planned, her sisters from Black Rose stole an important tribute from Purple Sun Sect during the chaos. She had also taken the jade slit ring from a Blessed Realm player who appeared to have some status in the sect.

At that time, she had only cast a quick glance at the item before she tossed it into her Universe Bag. Then, when she returned to the city, she encountered Purple Sun Sect's vicious attacks.

The people from Purple Sun Sect seemed to know her general location, and they mobilized a large number of people to investigate the government-made roads, forests, mountains, and roads, and soon, they knew every time she changed directions.

In the beginning, Red Coral thought that Purple Sun Sect was just angry and embarrassed by their loss and decided to take revenge on Black Rose, but as time passed, she began to feel that something was off.

The other members of Black Rose were not attacked while she was treated like the queen. Wherever she went, she would run into people from Purple Sun Sect. Their hatred had puzzled and perplexed her.

However, she had not linked their actions to the jade slit ring she had nearly forgotten in her Universe Bag!

She believed that Purple Sun Sect had got to know her identity as the strategist for the operation from somewhere, which was why they wanted to take revenge on her at all costs and kill her…

She avoided them for two days, but in the end, she was still accidentally surrounded by Purple Sun Sect. She fought hard, and a few of her sisters sacrificed themselves during the battle before she managed to break out of the encirclement after sustaining heavy injuries.

She fled all the way to the ancient tomb in Yangzhou.

When she thought about how she was chased for no reason and how her sisters had fearlessly sacrificed themselves for her over the past two days because of the plain jade slit ring, Red Coral felt that what she had been through was not worthwhile. She was also somewhat curious about the secret hidden in the jade slit ring.

When she saw the group led by the man with the fan look regretful, she swiftly spoke up. ”Wait!”

”Don't even dream about it. We have men guarding the entrance of the ancient tomb. It's impossible for you to stall for time while searching for a chance to flee.” The man with the fan fanned himself while he interrupted Red Coral's words with a frivolous smile. ”But to think that we'll have to kill a charming and beautiful lady like you… Hah, I actually can't quite bring myself to do it.”

”If I'm going to die either way, why don't you tell me what secret is contained in this item and what are its functions before I die? At least let me know the reason for my death.”

Red Coral was not angry. Instead, a hint of cunning flashed briefly in her eyes.

”Let you know the reason for your death? Bah! Do you think I'm an idiot?!” The man fanning himself chuckled. ”You want to learn of its secrets from me? Did you actually think that I would tell you?”

When Red Coral heard his words, she knew that there was no way to go about it. She rolled her eyes in an incredibly bitter manner, then turned her face to the side, as if she had been wronged. This small action of hers was incredibly charming and attractive, and she gave off the air of a woman who was highly dependent on a man.

Soon, Red Coral turned her head around. ”If I return this item to you, will you let me go?”

The man with the fan was stunned speechless for a moment before his eyes flashed.

”Toss the item here first and let me see whether it's real or fake.” He did not dare to agree to any of Red Coral's terms easily.

Even though their main goal was to get the jade slit ring back, but Purple Sun Sect had spent a lot of manpower and money to chase after Red Coral. If they let her go just like that, how was he supposed to gain a footing in the sect in the future?!

Letting Red Coral was clearly not practical.

”Promise me. As long as I give you the real jade slit ring, you'll let me go, and I'll immediately return the item to you!”

Red Coral's round eyes sparkled while she offered her condition. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

”Then forget it, if I let you go, it won't be easy for me to explain things to my superiors.”

The final words of the man with the fan crushed Red Coral's final hope.

However, it was practically an offense against social norms to harden their hearts and kill a beauty without any power to fight back, even if it was just a game. After all, the level of realism was incredibly great, and her face was incredibly real because of it. Once he thought about it, the man fanning himself looked at the person beside him.

”Phantom Jade, you do it! The others, be on guard. Don't let her run away because of some stupid trick!”

The group of people instantly went on guard.
