The crowd of Ancestral Immortals that had rushed over so aggressively was led by the Xuanyuan Clan—one of the Eight Great Clans of the Purple Dragon Domain. At the forefront stood Xuanyuan Tao, whose cultivation had reached the thirteenth layer of Ancestral Immortal, making him the second strongest expert in the Xuanyuan Clan.
"Brother Xuanyuan, there's nothing in this jade slip! We've been played by that brat, just like you!" Sterling Ling, patriarch of the Ling Family, spoke with a furious glare.
Xuanyuan Tao just let out a cold laugh.
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Tao sneered, "Sterling, this is no laughing matter. Are you really planning to swallow a god-level cultivation method all by yourself?"
Sterling Ling felt both deeply wronged and increasingly frustrated. He tossed the jade slip to Xuanyuan Tao, gritting his teeth. "If you don't believe me, see for yourself!"
Xuanyuan Tao grabbed the jade slip and swept it with his immortal sense, only to find it completely empty. His anger erupted. "Sterling, what are you playing at? Are you mocking me?"
Sterling Ling laughed bitterly through his rage. "I've already told you—the jade slip contains no god-level cultivation method. We're all falling for that brat's scheme to stir up trouble between us!"
"I think it's your Ling Family that's gotten greedy and wants to keep the method for yourselves!" Xuanyuan Tao retorted, his voice sharp with accusation.
Xuanyuan Tao still eyed Sterling with suspicion, refusing to back down.
Sterling Ling scoffed coldly, "Brother Xuanyuan, there's no point in arguing. I've already said I didn't get any god-level cultivation method from the jade slip, and that's the truth—believe it or not!"
