"Crack!"
Suddenly, a soft sound rang out, and the radiance of the Purple Jade Ring scattered completely, falling to the ground with a crisp "clack." At the same time, the Green-Robe Woman's fist continued to strike toward Abbess Yvonne—no matter how she dodged, she couldn't escape.
"Bang!"
With a muffled groan, Abbess Yvonne's body was sent flying backward, only coming to a stop beneath the courtyard wall.
"If not for the fact that you're Yunyan's sect elder, this punch would have taken your life!"
The Green-Robe Woman stood proudly, looking at Abbess Yvonne with a contemptuous expression.
Instantly, Abbess Yvonne's face flushed bright red, but the thought that a fist containing not a trace of true essence had destroyed her magic treasure—and injured her—left her shocked and shaken.
Just her physical strength alone is enough to crush me—how terrifying would she be if she used true essence?
The five Silver-Hair Daoist Masters watching nearby also understood what was happening, and for a moment, all their gazes toward the Green-Robe Woman were filled with awe.
The next moment, Abbess Yvonne stepped forward, bowed to the Green-Robe Woman, and said respectfully, "Thank you for showing mercy, Senior. May I ask how we should address you?"
"You may address me as Senior Azure," the Green-Robe Woman said mildly.
After some polite greetings, Abbess Yvonne hesitantly said to the Green-Robe Woman, "Senior Azure, you must know the situation of our Jade Maiden Sect. Could you possibly lend us your aid, for Lena Ling's sake?"
The Green-Robe Woman thought for a moment and said, "Helping you isn't out of the question, but I have one condition!"
Hearing the Green-Robe Woman agree, Abbess Yvonne couldn't help but be overjoyed. With a powerhouse at least Nascent Soul level on their side, the Miao Clan would be deterred, and the Jade Maiden Sect's overall standing would rise. One condition—let alone ten—would be well worth it.
So Abbess Yvonne hurriedly said, "Please tell us, Senior Azure."
"I want Lena Ling to remain in the Jade Maiden Sect," the Green-Robe Woman said slowly.
"This...?"
Hearing this condition, Abbess Yvonne couldn't help but look troubled. If Lena Ling stayed, the Miao Clan would never let things go, and the Jade Maiden Sect didn't have the courage to stand up to them.
The Green-Robe Woman gave a cold laugh. "I know you're worried about the Miao Clan. Relax—if they come looking for trouble, I'll handle them. And if you agree, I'll even give your sect a meeting gift!"
Hearing this, Abbess Yvonne realized she had no choice but to agree and nodded. "I accept, Senior. May I ask, what is your meeting gift?"
Don't worry, this meeting gift will definitely satisfy you!
As soon as she finished speaking, the Green-Robe Woman waved her hand, and a Silverglow Skiff appeared—a small silver boat that expanded with the wind until it occupied half the courtyard.
Everyone, get on!
The Green-Robe Woman glanced at everyone.
Staring at the shimmering silver boat, Abbess Yvonne blurted out, "That's a spirit artifact!"
Spirit artifact!
At the mention of that term, everyone present stared at the sparkling silver boat with burning eyes.
Magical treasures are divided into treasure-tools and spirit artifacts, and each is ranked from ninth to first grade.
For example, Abbess Yvonne's Purple Jade Ring is a sixth-grade treasure-tool.
As for spirit artifacts, even Nascent Soul-level experts may not be able to obtain one.
