Although everyone inwardly despised Liu Xiaoyuan's pretentious behavior, no one dared to say anything, because not everyone dared to make such boastful remarks; at least, none of the people present dared to say it.
So these people just watched quietly as Liu Xiaoyuan showed off, waiting to see how he would get struck by lightning later.
“Brother Dao, since you have such a high level of expertise in formations, then I’ll trouble you to break this formation.” A cultivator said with a smile, his face full of mockery, just waiting to see Liu Xiaoyuan make a fool of himself.
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't want to break this bird formation, but Su Yu had already begged him, so he had no choice but to break it. Anyway, he wanted Su Yu to pick out whatever good stuff was inside.
Liu Xiaoyuan coughed and said, "I can break this formation, but if there's anything good inside, I have to take it first."
Upon hearing this, everyone present erupted in uproar. How could this be? If you think everything inside is valuable and take it all, then we've come all this way for nothing.
Therefore, when faced with Liu Xiaoyuan's suggestion, all the cultivators present said no and shook their heads. Since it concerned everyone's interests, these cultivators were very united.
Liu Xiaoyuan thought for a moment and realized that what he said was indeed a bit too domineering, so he relented and said, "How about this, I'll break the formation, and I'll have priority over the three magic treasures. What do you think? If you still don't agree, then I'll leave!"
If the formation cannot be broken, they cannot enter and can only watch. Moreover, given their abilities, they cannot summon a formation master.
Therefore, after Liu Xiaoyuan finished speaking, these cultivators began to hesitate about whether or not to agree to Liu Xiaoyuan's condition.
The monks looked at each other, none of them daring to make a decision.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Make a decision quickly. My time is precious, and I don't have time to waste here with you guys."
After thinking it over, the cultivators finally agreed. After all, this was a treasure of a Golden Core cultivator. Even if Liu Xiaoyuan took three items, there should be other good things among them.
Besides, they can also kill and plunder. Once the formation is broken, they can join forces and do nothing to Liu Xiaoyuan, a late-stage Foundation Establishment sword immortal.
Seeing that they had all agreed, Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Since you've all agreed, then make way for me, I'm going to break the formation."
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, everyone made way for him, giving him ample space.
Liu Xiaoyuan was absolutely confident that he could break this formation.
After the cultivators stepped aside, they exchanged glances, none of them believing that Liu Xiaoyuan could break the formation.
Many cultivators wore mocking expressions, believing that Liu Xiaoyuan was just bragging.
"Brother-in-law, good luck!" Su Yu said, giving Liu Xiaoyuan an encouraging look.
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "Don't worry, brother-in-law will break this formation soon."
Next came the moment to break the formation. Liu Xiaoyuan summoned the Flying Cloud Sword and flew towards the formation's core.
The Flying Cloud Sword flew towards the center of the formation like a shooting star. With a loud clang, a huge burst of energy exploded and surged out of the cave entrance.
Faced with this explosion of energy, the cultivators present all flew out of the cave without regard for their lives.
Liu Xiaoyuan also grabbed Su Yu's hand and quickly flew to the outside of the cave.
That terrifying energy burst out of the cave in an instant, like a white sword shooting out, instantly reaching the distant horizon before dissipating.
With the formation broken, these cultivators were naturally eager to go inside and search for valuable items.
Liu Xiaoyuan rebuked, "What are you all doing? Who broke the formation? Why are you all so eager to go in? What are you going to do inside?"
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, the cultivators immediately stopped and looked at him. Now, they were even more afraid of Liu Xiaoyuan.
Liu Xiaoyuan is not only a sword immortal in the late Foundation Establishment stage, but also an array master. The combination of these two identities makes him an absolutely terrifying existence.
The fact that Liu Xiaoyuan was a sword immortal was already a headache for the cultivators present, but now that he also knew formations, he became even more terrifying!
"Brother Daoist, please, please go first!" The cultivators immediately and obediently let Liu Xiaoyuan go in first.
Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at the cultivators, then took Su Yu's hand and flew into the cave.
Liu Xiaoyuan flew into the cave and found it to be completely empty.
Soon, the other cultivators also entered the cave. Seeing that the cave was empty, they all turned their attention to Liu Xiaoyuan.
"Brother Dao, aren't you being a bit disrespectful to us? We have no problem with you eating all the meat, since you're the one who broke the formation, but you should at least leave us a little bit of soup, right?"
"Exactly, isn't it a bit too greedy for one person to take all the treasures?"
"We went through so much trouble to get here, and you took everything by yourself! What are we supposed to do? Give us back our things right now!"
"Yes, hurry up and take the things out. You can't fight against four hands with two fists. You'd better take the things out."
These cultivators all believed that Liu Xiaoyuan had kept the treasure in the cave for himself, and they all looked at Liu Xiaoyuan with righteous indignation, demanding that he return what he had taken.
Judging from their expressions, if Liu Xiaoyuan didn't produce something, they were going to fight him to the death.
Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at the cultivators and said, "Would you believe me if I said I didn't take these things? This cave was completely empty when I came in; there was nothing there."
These cultivators, of course, didn't believe Liu Xiaoyuan's words. If there were no good things in this cave, what Golden Core cultivator would be so bored as to ask for keys and formations?
"Do you think we'll believe your lie?" a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator asked, staring at Liu Xiaoyuan.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Believe it or not, I'm telling the truth."
After saying that, Liu Xiaoyuan took Su Yu's hand and said, "Let's go!"
These cultivators assumed Liu Xiaoyuan was going to leave after taking the items, so of course they wouldn't let him go.
These cultivators immediately blocked Liu Xiaoyuan's path, surrounding Liu Xiaoyuan and Su Yutuan.
"What are you doing? I advise you not to do anything foolish!" Liu Xiaoyuan said calmly to the group of cultivators.
"Boy, so what if you're a late-stage Foundation Establishment sword immortal? If you know what's good for you, you'd better hand over the magic treasure you've been hoarding, or we'll all attack you together, and you won't be able to handle it," the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator threatened.
