In the Inner Courtyard Square, Zhao Yang sat cross-legged on the ground, opening one eye to glance at the approaching Elder and Golden Peng Young Master. He urged anxiously, "Why aren't we leaving? What are we waiting for? I can't run anymore; my movement technique can't be used continuously, or it will consume my energy exponentially!"
Ji Wudao shook his head and replied, "We can't leave now. The Myriad Spirit Sect has already been surrounded. I realized this when I let you go earlier in the hall."
"What? So soon?" Both Zhao Yang and the Sixth Elder were taken aback.
"Moreover, I can't leave either. There are tens of thousands of disciples trapped here, and I have a responsibility to protect them."
Zhao Yang felt like cursing Ji Wudao for being foolish, but then he remembered that Long Xiao Wu and Scholar Xiu had not yet escaped, which made him hesitate to flee alone.
"I don't have any area-of-effect cultivation methods or divine powers. How many people have actually come?" Zhao Yang asked calmly. Hearing Ji Wudao, who possessed vast divine power, say this made him think about how the sect had at least tens of thousands of disciples; how many would it take to surround them?
"Conservatively estimated, over ten thousand. Countless Foundation Stage Cultivators and more than a dozen Core Formation Stage experts. It seems there are also one or two Divine Transformation Stage cultivators hiding among them," Ji Wudao said with a grave expression.
"Damn!" Zhao Yang felt like he might wet himself from fear. "What do they want with so many people?"
"Of course, it's for the Spirit Pearl! Over a decade ago, the Zhongzhou Royal Family prophesied that the Spirit Pearl would appear in the Myriad Spirit Sect at the Heavenly Mechanism Wall. There have long been people hiding outside our sect waiting for this opportunity. A few days ago, news came from Zhongzhou saying that the Heavenly Mechanism Wall indicated the Spirit Pearl has already appeared! Moreover, it included a prophecy: 'He who possesses the treasure shall rule the world.'"
"Is it really that exaggerated?" Even Zhao Yang couldn't help but exclaim in disbelief. It seemed absurd to claim that whoever possessed the Spirit Pearl would rule the world; although its abilities were incredible—capable of locating all spiritual treasures nearby—this statement was simply outrageous.
"The Spirit Pearl isn't really with you, is it?" The Sixth Elder looked at Zhao Yang with suspicion, extending his divine sense to scan him.
"It's not with him; I've checked thoroughly. Besides, with this kid's temperament, if he had the Spirit Pearl, he would have boasted about having it and then run away," Ji Wudao said.
"Master understands me well; how could it possibly be with me!" Zhao Yang felt a pang of guilt. He had initially considered whether to reveal the matter of the Spirit Pearl, but now that he realized admitting it would let others know, he feared that he would become an enemy everywhere, and it would be a blessing if he could avoid being torn apart. However, he was even more shocked that Ji Wudao, with his cultivation level and Divine Sense, had not detected the Spirit Pearl hanging around his neck. This only strengthened his belief that the Spirit Pearl was an unparalleled treasure.
"If we find the Spirit Pearl and hand it over, can we resolve the Sect's crisis?" Sixth Elder asked, clinging to a final shred of hope.
Ji Wudao shook his head, glancing at the former Elder and Golden Peng Young Master who were approaching from a distance. He said, "The outcome of whether we hand over the Spirit Pearl is the same."
"Master Ji is truly open-minded. Indeed, whether you hand over the Spirit Pearl today or not, Myriad Spirit Sect will be expelled from the cultivation world!" A few sounds of breaking air echoed as Golden Peng Young Master descended from the sky and spoke slowly.
"I've already said that the Spirit Pearl is not with me. Do you have to force me to say I have it?" Zhao Yang boldly declared, emboldened by Ji Wudao's words. If even Ji Wudao at the Divine Transformation Stage couldn't sense any clues about the Spirit Pearl on him, then surely no one else could either.
Duan Wude stood beside Golden Peng Young Master and chuckled lightly, "The Spirit Pearl may not be with you, but that doesn't mean you don't know where it is. It must be hidden away by you!"
"Second Elder, your intelligence... sigh, it's truly lacking!" Zhao Yang sighed inwardly, thinking how Duan Wude could guess so incorrectly.
"You! I see you're looking for death!" Although Duan Wude didn't understand what Zhao Yang meant by lacking intelligence, he sensed a hint of disdain in Zhao Yang's tone.
Golden Peng Young Master raised his hand to stop Duan Wude and said, "Elder Duan, calm down." He then smiled at Zhao Yang and continued, "Little brother, as long as you tell me where the Spirit Pearl is, I can let you go. Additionally, I'll give you endless Elixirs and the top-tier Cultivation Method from the Central State Royal Family, plus a Dao Treasure! What do you think?"
Zhao Yang's eyes sparkled with excitement as he exclaimed, "Is this true? If I tell you where it is, you'll give me a Dao Treasure? I've heard that Dao Treasures are second only to Celestial Artifacts in terms of power!"
"What? It's really with you!" Not only were their enemies surprised, but even Ji Wudao and Sixth Elder were astonished. This kid changed his tune too quickly; just moments ago he had adamantly claimed it wasn't with him!
Zhao Yang sighed and said, "I do know where the Spirit Pearl is, but I want to know what kind of treasure it is that so many people are willing to destroy a Sect to obtain it. If no one tells me, then this secret will rot in my belly; even if you kill me, I won't say a word." As he spoke, Zhao Yang wore an expression of righteous indignation once again.
