The meaning was clear: now that they had regained their strength, they wanted to get back those spirit stones.
Seeing this, the other cultivators also looked at Lin Keting, their eyes starting to show hostility!
When they were first oppressed, they all obediently followed orders, but now that they had just regained their strength, they would change their attitude.
This is human nature!
In the Celestial Realm, strength is what matters!
Lin Keting was aware of the gazes of the crowd, but she didn’t care. Instead, he glanced coldly at everyone and said, “I accept your spiritual stones as payment for bringing you here.”
“As for those divine weapons, everyone receives spirit stones; it’s not like I took them myself.”
“If any of you dare to disagree, please come and ask for your spirit stones back. However, before you ask for your spirit stones back, you must first ask if my sword agrees.”
After Lin Keting finished speaking, a scorching heat appeared in the void in front of him, and then a sword appeared out of thin air, with ghost-like blue flames dancing on its surface!
The moment the sword appeared, everyone felt their breath catch; the terrifying pressure forced them to retreat!
They stared at the sword in front of them with a hint of fear in their eyes. They knew that the power of this sword alone was too great for many people to withstand!
“Brother Daoist, we handed over the spiritual stones willingly. No one will ask you to take them back, so why are you angry?”
“Even though we have recovered our strength, this battlefield between gods and demons is full of dangers, and we still need to help each other in the future.”
Among the cultivators, the old man quickly stepped forward and spoke kindly to Lin Keting!
“Yes, yes, that’s not what I meant. Please don’t misunderstand, fellow Daoists.”
The bearded monk immediately apologized.
They originally thought that Lin Keting, as a woman without a bodyguard, could be easily subdued, but they did not expect that Lin Keting’s strength could not be underestimated.
The sword that appeared, in particular, was very powerful. At this point, who would dare mention spiritual stones?
“Miss Lin, please put away your sword. Someone might wet their pants from fear.”
He also tried to persuade Lin Keting!
However, he also looked down on the cultivators who kicked him while he was down, which was why he said that!
Hearing that, Lin Keting couldn’t help but laugh, then he put away his sword!
Seeing that Lin Keting had put away her sword, all the cultivators heaved a sigh of relief!
“Fellow Daoists, thank you for your help all this time. We take our leave now.”
The old man clasped his fists in salute, then led his men away.
Now that we have recovered, there is no need to follow them anymore. Wouldn’t it be better if we looked for the treasure ourselves?
