Gods: Starting with the Goblins - Chapter 690
. Luo Dan watched everyone express their opinions, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He knew that although these people said nice things, they must still be obsessed with the Shenzangtu in their hearts.
However, this was also within his expectations.
He waved his hand gently, indicating that everyone could leave.
Everyone said goodbye and turned away as if they had been pardoned.
They talked while walking, some regretted that they had no chance to see the true appearance of the Shenzangtu, and some were glad that they were not involved in this possible dispute.
And Luo Dan stood quietly in place, watching everyone leave.
In his heart, he was actually thinking about how to better protect this precious Shenzangtu.
He knew that this map was not only a guide to the treasure, but also a heavy responsibility.
Just as Luo Dan was about to leave, he suddenly felt an unusual breath. He turned back suddenly, and saw Elder Tianji standing not far away, looking at him solemnly.
“Elder Tianji, why haven’t you left yet?” Luo Dan asked with some surprise.
Elder Tianji smiled bitterly and said, “I wanted to leave, but… hey, I didn’t expect to be blocked by them.”
Luo Dan frowned when he heard this. He vaguely felt that things didn’t seem simple. He walked quickly to Elder Tianji and asked in a low voice, “What’s going on? Why did they block you?”
Elder Tianji sighed and said, “It’s because of the Shenzang map. They know that I once had this map, so they want to come to me to see if they can get some clues from me or… copy a copy.”
Luo Dan was shocked when he heard this. He knew that the people from these sects would probably do anything to get the Shenzang map. He looked at Elder Tianji and asked, “What are you going to do?”
Elder Tianji sneered and said, “Don’t even think about it. I have already given this Shenzang map to you, and I can’t give it to anyone else. If they really dare to attack me, then I will have to fight to the death.”
Luo Dan nodded secretly when he heard this. He knew that although Elder Tianji looked a little cunning at ordinary times, he was still very strong at critical moments. He looked at the people from the sect who had gathered around him and said coldly: “What do you want to do? Do you want to attack Elder Tianji?”
The people from the sect stopped and looked at each other. Although they coveted the Shenzangtu, they did not dare to attack Luo Dan and Elder Tianji easily. After all, these two were not easy to deal with. Once they were angered, the consequences would be disastrous.
One of the elders of the sect came forward and bowed to Luo Dan and Elder Tian Ji, saying, “Lord Luo Dan, Elder Tian Ji, we have no ill intentions. It’s just that… the Shenzang map is too important to us. We hope that you can… draw a few copies for us. In this way, we can let you go and stop bothering you.” Luo Dan sneered and said, “Do you think the Shenzang map is so easy to copy? Besides, even if we can copy it, we will never give it to you. You’d better save your energy and stop daydreaming here.” Elder Tian Ji also sneered and said, “You guys are really good at calculating. Unfortunately, you made a wrong idea. Although I, Elder Tian Ji, am not a big shot, I will not let you bully me. If you really dare to attack me, don’t blame me for being rude.” The people of the sects looked different when they heard this. They knew that they might not get any benefits today. However, they were unwilling to give up. So, they began to discuss, trying to find a way to get the Shenzangtu without offending Luo Dan and Elder Tianji.
However, Luo Dan and Elder Tianji did not give them this opportunity. The two of them looked at each other, moved, and disappeared like ghosts. Only those people from the sect were left, staring blankly.
Luo Dan and Elder Tianji rushed all the way and soon left the sight of those people from the sect. They found a hidden place and stopped.
“Elder Tianji, are you okay?” Luo Dan asked with concern.
Elder Tianji shook his head and said, “I’m fine. It’s just… that Shenzang map, are you really going to look for it alone?”
After hearing this, Luo Dan was silent for a moment and said, “Yes. I know that this Shenzang map is both an opportunity and a challenge for me. I must find it myself to uncover its secrets. And… I can’t let those people from the sect get this map.”
Elder Tianji nodded and said, “Okay. Since you have decided, I won’t say anything more. But… you must be careful. The secret realm pointed to by the Shenzang map must be full of dangers. You must protect yourself and don’t let me worry.”
Luo Dan felt warm in his heart after hearing this. He knew that although Elder Tianji looked a little unreliable at ordinary times, he still cared about him at critical moments. He looked at Elder Tianji and smiled, “Don’t worry, I will be careful. And… I am not so easily defeated. Those people from the sect want to snatch the Shenzang map from me, which is simply wishful thinking.”
The two chatted for a while and then separated. Luo Dan knew that his next journey would be full of unknowns and dangers. However, he also knew that he had to face it all bravely. Because… he believed in himself, his strength and wisdom. And that Shenzangtu would become an important treasure in his life, guiding him to a more glorious future.
“There is no way. Luo Dan is too strong. We are not his opponents. We can only put our ideas on you. If you want to blame someone, blame your bad luck!” An elder of a sect shook his head helplessly, revealing a hint of unwillingness and helplessness in his tone. They originally thought that with the union of many sects, they could at least get a share from Luo Dan, but they didn’t expect Luo Dan’s strength to be so strong that they had no chance to take advantage of it.
Elder Tianji was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he heard this. He clenched his fists tightly, and his nails dug deep into his palms, as if to suppress the anger that was about to burst out. He widened his eyes and glared at the elders of the sect in front of him, his voice low and trembling: “You…you actually set your sights on me? I am Elder Tianji, how dare you be so presumptuous!”
“Elder Tianji, don’t be angry.” Another elder of the sect hurriedly explained, “We are not targeting you on purpose. It’s just…that Shenzangtu is too important. We are really unwilling to give up like this.”
“Unwilling? Can you come to me if you are unwilling?” Elder Tianji shouted angrily, “Do you think I am so easy to bully? I tell you, although I, Elder Tianji, don’t ask about worldly affairs, I am not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by anyone!”
The elders of several sects looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while. They knew that although Elder Tianji looked a little mysterious, his strength should not be underestimated. Moreover, their behavior today was indeed a bit extreme, and they actually set their sights on Elder Tianji.
“Elder Tianji, please don’t misunderstand me.” An elder from a sect explained quickly, “We are not here to cause trouble for you. It’s just… we want to know if you can tell us some of the contents of the Shenzangtu? Or… or draw a copy for us? We promise that we will never leak it out.”
“Hmph! Do you think I’m so easy to fool?” Elder Tianji sneered, “I tell you, I have written down all the contents of the Shenzangtu. If I share it with several of your sects, won’t my chances of finding it become even slimmer? Why should I help you?”
The elders from several sects changed their faces when they heard this. They didn’t expect that Elder Tianji had already written down the contents of the Shenzangtu. This made their already slim hope even slimmer.
“Elder Tianji, please don’t be like this.” An elder from a sect begged, “We really need that Shenzangtu. If you are willing to help us, we will be grateful.”
“Grateful? I don’t need your gratitude!” Elder Tianji gritted his teeth and said word by word, “I will never give you the Shenzangtu. You’d better forget about it. Let me give you the Shenzangtu? You are just dreaming!”
His eyes flashed with unprecedented firmness and determination. Seeing Elder Tianji’s resolute attitude, several elders from the sect knew that it would be fruitless to insist. They sighed helplessly and turned away.
Elder Tianji looked at their departing backs, and an indescribable anger and helplessness surged in his heart. He knew that today’s incident was only temporarily calmed down, and those people from the sect would never give up. They would definitely try their best to get the contents of the Shenzangtu.
Thinking of this, Elder Tianji couldn’t help but frowned. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his emotions. He knew that he had to stay calm and sober to deal with everything that might happen next.
So, he began to carefully recall every detail and clue on the Shenzangtu. He wanted to deeply imprint this information in his mind to ensure that he would not forget any details. At the same time, he was also thinking about how to deal with the threats and provocations of those people from the sect.
He knew that this would be a long and difficult battle. However, he also believed in his own strength and wisdom. He believed that as long as he persisted, he would be able to find the treasure guided by the Shenzangtu and protect the glory and dignity that belonged to him.
“If this is the case, we can’t blame our men for being merciless. Who told you to have such a treasure on you and not tell us yet!” An elder of a sect sneered at the corner of his mouth, with greed flashing in his eyes. He stared at Elder Tianji, as if he had seen the Shenzangtu in his hands.
“That’s right, old man Tianji, no matter how powerful you are, you can’t be a match for so many of us.” Another elder from another sect echoed, his voice full of threats and provocations, “I advise you to hand over the Shenzangtu obediently, so as to avoid physical pain.”
“Anyway, relying on your own ability, there is definitely no way to go! So why not draw this for us, and we can all work together to create it!” Another elder from another sect spoke up, his tone revealed a hint of temptation, trying to persuade Elder Tianji to give up resistance.
After hearing what the others said, Elder Tianji was so angry that his face turned pale, as if he was about to vomit blood. He clenched his fists, his nails dug deep into his palms, and tried hard to suppress his anger and humiliation. He widened his eyes and glared at the elders of the sect in front of him, his voice low and trembling: “You…you are simply being arrogant! Although I, Elder Tianji, am not talented, I will not allow you to bully me!”
“Bullying? Humph! We didn’t say that.” An elder of a sect sneered, “We just want to get the Shenzang map. If you are willing to cooperate, we will naturally not embarrass you.”
“Cooperation? You are forcing me!” Elder Tianji shouted angrily, “I tell you, the Shenzang map is my Elder Tianji’s treasure, I will never give it to you!”
The faces of the elders of several sects changed when they heard this. They didn’t expect Elder Tianji to reject their request so firmly. They looked at each other, and anger surged in their hearts.
“Old Tianji, don’t refuse a toast!” An elder of a sect shouted angrily, “With so many of us, can’t we subdue you alone?”
“Subdue me? Just try!” Elder Tianji gritted his teeth, his body shook, and a strong aura emanated from him. He widened his eyes and glared at the elders of the sect in front of him, as if he wanted to devour them all.
Several elders of the sect felt the strong aura emanating from Elder Tianji, and they couldn’t help but feel a little afraid. However, they also knew that if they couldn’t get the Shenzangtu today, all their previous efforts would be in vain.
So, they looked at each other and showed their weapons one after another. For a moment, the sword light flashed and murderous aura was rising. They surrounded Elder Tianji and formed a huge encirclement.
Elder Tianji saw the actions of several elders of the sect, and an indescribable anger and humiliation surged in his heart. He clenched his fists, and his nails dug deep into his palms, as if to suppress the anger that was about to burst out. He knew that a fierce battle was unavoidable today.
“Come on! Elder Tianji is not afraid of a fight!” He shouted angrily, and rushed towards several elders of the sect like a ghost. For a moment, swords crossed and killing sounds shook the sky. The two sides started a fierce battle.
Although Elder Tianji was old, he was still strong. He held a long sword and his figure was graceful, like dancing. Each sword contained a powerful force, which made it difficult for several elders of the sect to resist.
However, several elders of the sect were not ordinary people. They each displayed their own unique skills and started a fierce battle with Elder Tianji. (End of this chapter)
