In an instant, the air fell silent.
The cultivator, who knew nothing about the situation, was filled with bewilderment and confusion. He simply couldn't believe that after such a big problem was solved, he would end up having his own people assassinated!
Threatening words should come from the city lord!
The cultivator was speechless: "Why are they killing each other like this? City Lord, surely these disciples from the six sects can't be imposters..."
This was the only reason he could think of for the city lord to condone the Wang family's actions.
But the Wang family treated him like he didn't exist. The Wang family member who was holding Tianning hostage brandished the gleaming long sword in his hand and pressed it against the girl's fair neck, saying impatiently, "Hurry up! Otherwise, she will die here today because of you!"
In response, Duanmu Qiao turned to the people of Hujian Mountain and reiterated on behalf of the Wang family: "See? They've captured your junior sister and are telling you to jump down quickly!"
Everyone: "..."
The city lord frowned: "She is from one of your six sects."
"She's from the Myriad Swords Sect, not our Talisman Immortal Sect," Duanmu Qiao waved his hand dismissively.
If it were his own junior sister, he would have been anxious to death long ago, but Tian Ning is different. He didn't see that the group of people from the Sword Protection Mountain were not only nervous, but completely speechless.
An older member of the Wang family stepped forward and said, "I never imagined that the Six Sects would be so divided! Although she is not your fellow disciple, she is a companion who has traveled with you all the way! Can you really bear to watch her die like this?"
They even resorted to moral blackmail.
Duanmu Qiao not only showed no remorse, but also defiantly took two steps forward to show his indifference.
Just because of the fact that this group of people had to pick Tianning's good taste, he would never jump down today no matter what!
You should know that even the two old fogies, the Xuanyuan Clan Head and the Xuanyuan Ancestor, couldn't kill Tianning back in the Xuanyuan Secret Realm. What are these people dreaming of?
The Wang family members and the city lord exchanged glances, clearly not expecting that a righteous disciple of one of the six major sects would behave in such a way!
This is utterly disgraceful to the reputation of the Six Schools!
Then there were Helian Boda and Qin Ling, who seemed righteous but were incredibly selfish for not offering any opinions.
The Wang family pointed at the two men and cursed, "He's heartless and ungrateful enough! But you two are no better!"
Unfortunately, this tactic of provocation had no effect.
Helian Boda and Qin Ling both fell silent.
In fact, anyone else might have been worried, but Tianning...
I hope the other side is alright.
The Wang family was still unwilling to give up and wanted to ask about the Sword Guardian Mountain, but before they could even open their mouths, Fu Hongming turned his face away, unable to bear the sight.
Long Aotian said seriously, "Since you can't open the coffin anyway, why don't you give it back to us first?"
He was more worried about this group of people being kicked far away by their master than about his junior sister!
The Wang family: "..."
City Lord: "..."
The Wang family members who were holding Tianning hostage were clearly losing their composure and immediately made a move to attack: "You think I wouldn't dare?!"
They kept a close eye on the expressions of the disciples from the six sects, but failed to notice that the sword pressed against Tian Ning's neck seemed to encounter an invisible barrier before it touched his skin. If it were anyone else, their skin would have been cut open and blood would have seeped out.
Shi Qinxin's position was clearly visible, and she said coldly, "Try moving one of your arms."
Such blatant disrespect has truly enraged the other party. At worst, we'll make an example of them to show these ignorant brats how dangerous the outside world can be!
He immediately exerted force with the sword in his hand!
However, he didn't feel the warmth of fresh blood on his hands at all. Instead, something seemed to be blocking his way, preventing him from cutting down no matter how hard he tried!
