Everyone's eyes were on the stone tablet, but no one made a move. Nobody was stupid; since there was something strange about the stone tablet, I wouldn't make the first move.
If these cultivators don't make a move, Liu Xiaoyuan is even less likely to do so, because in Liu Xiaoyuan's view, no matter how strange this stone tablet is, it has nothing to do with him.
In fact, Liu Xiaoyuan didn't care at all about what was strange about the stone tablet or what good things were inside.
Liu Xiaoyuan is standing here now, intending to watch the show.
“Brother Daoist, why don’t we go and see what’s so strange about this stone tablet?” one of the cultivators asked.
The cultivator smiled and shook his head, saying, "Brother Dao, I have no interest in the strangeness of this stone tablet; I'm just an onlooker."
Everyone was shrewd and cautious; no one dared to be the first to step forward. As the saying goes, "the first bird to stick its head out gets shot," and if there was any danger on the stone tablet, the first person to go there would be courting death.
Therefore, these cultivators were all making their own plans, waiting for others to go and test the waters first. If there was no danger, then sorry, we would have to search for good things together.
If there is danger, it doesn't matter. Anyway, it's better to die for your fellow Daoists than for me!
"Look, the disciples of Penglai Immortal Island have arrived!" Just then, a sword light flew over, carrying a dazzling light. A man landed on the ground, and everyone made way for him.
This man was a complete pretty boy, very handsome, so handsome that he looked almost like a woman.
That face, those hands—they were unmistakably those of a woman. Liu Xiaoyuan had every reason to suspect that this guy had come back from Thailand!
"This is Zhang Xi, the younger brother of Zhang Chuan, the number one Golden Core cultivator!" Some cultivators began to discuss the man's identity.
Liu Xiaoyuan happened to overhear this. This guy was actually Zhang Chuan's younger brother, a member of the "Shamate" subculture. Damn, these two brothers are so different. One is a Shamate non-mainstream guy, and the other is a sissy.
As expected, strange families tend to have many strange members, and it seems that Zhang Chuan's family has quite a few oddballs!
Penglai Immortal Island is a major sect in the cultivation world, so when they saw Zhang Xi, the other cultivators immediately stepped back. They couldn't afford to offend the disciples of such a large sect, so it was better to stay back.
Zhang Xi enjoyed this feeling, this feeling of being high above others, as if he were the emperor of the human world.
Just then, several more beams of light arrived, and then several people landed on the ground. There were three people in total: two women and one man.
"Brother Zhang, I didn't expect you to arrive so early!" The man greeted Zhang Xi with a smile as soon as he saw him.
"Brother Li, I just arrived a little while ago. I didn't expect you to come so quickly!" Zhang Xi said with a smile.
These three people were all disciples of major sects. The one surnamed Li was named Li Xiong, and he was a disciple of the Tianzheng Sect.
As for the two women, the one in black is a disciple of Tianyin Pavilion named Zhang Feiyan; the woman in red is a disciple of Wanfa Sect named Yan Ruyu.
These four were all disciples of major sects, and they seemed to have an innate sense of superiority. When they saw disciples from other sects, they didn't even glance at them, as if they were high and mighty masters.
Liu Xiaoyuan stood quietly in the crowd, watching these four people show off. Anyway, it was none of his business.
“There’s something strange about this stone tablet! Look, there’s not a single word on it. What kind of stone tablet would have such a thing?” Li Xiong said, pointing at the stone tablet.
Zhang Xi and the other two nodded and said, "Why don't the four of us lift this stone tablet up and take it back to study it carefully? What do you think?"
“Yes, that’s exactly what we were thinking!” Zhang Xi and the other three hit it off immediately, as if the stone tablet belonged to them alone, and the other cultivators were not even on their radar.
“Hey, we found this stone tablet, and since everyone has seen it, why don’t we all get a share?” One of the cultivators finally couldn’t stand it anymore and stepped forward to say.
"You mean you also want a piece of the pie?" Zhang Xi asked, looking at the cultivator.
"It's not that we want a share, but that everyone who sees it should have a share. If you just take the stone tablet away like this, isn't that a bit too domineering?"
This cultivator was very courageous to speak to Zhang Xi and the other two like that. The other cultivators did not dare to step forward and silently supported him in their hearts.
Liu Xiaoyuan also admired the cultivator's courage; he dared to fight for his own interests and could be considered a warrior.
"Hmph! What right do you have to share this with us?" Li Xiong said with a cold snort.
"Get lost, or don't blame us for being impolite!" Yan Ruyu immediately summoned her flying sword. If this cultivator still didn't know what was good for him, she would cut him down with a single sword strike.
I am a disciple of a major sect. What can you do if I hit you? Even if you go back and tell your sect, it won't do you any good.
Seeing Zhang Xi and his group acting so domineeringly, the cultivators among them dared not speak out against their anger. There was nothing they could do; after all, their backers were powerful.
Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't stand it anymore. These four guys were too domineering, threatening others at the drop of a hat. Who did they think they were?
“Hey, you four, aren’t you being a bit too domineering? This stone tablet is something we all saw, so it naturally belongs to everyone. What you’re doing is a bit too unruly,” Liu Xiaoyuan said to the four.
"Who are you? Do you have a place to speak here?" Zhang Xi asked, pointing at Liu Xiaoyuan.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Who I am is not important. What's important is that your sect leaders must treat me with utmost respect!"
Hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Zhang Xi and the other three laughed. "Kid, who do you think you are? A Golden Core cultivator, what qualifications do you have to meet our sect leader?"
The other cultivators also looked at Liu Xiaoyuan, thinking that he was lying. They thought that a mere Golden Core cultivator like him could meet the leaders of these major sects, which was simply boasting without any basis.
"Haha...kid, who do you think you are? A Golden Core cultivator, daring to spout such nonsense here." Zhang Xi laughed.
"Hmph, with your level of cultivation, let alone seeing our sect leader, even seeing our master would be an honor for you!" Zhang Feiyan said sarcastically.
Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at these people and said, "Why don't you believe me when I tell the truth? Fine, since you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. Let's see if you have the ability to lift this stone tablet."
"Hmph, kid, I'll show you the techniques of our great sect. They're not something your amateurish cultivation can compare to!" Zhang Xi said smugly, then began to use his internal energy to lift the stone tablet. A smug smile appeared on Zhang Xi's face, and he thought it was a piece of cake.
