The black shadow was as fast as a ghost, and seemed to blend into the night. Even Gu Jian, who had practiced the Killing Eye, could only barely catch a trace of the phantom.
In an instant, the Panlong Cauldron was abducted by the black shadow and was about to disappear at the end of the darkness.
"Where to run!"
However, Xiao Jinyan reacted faster, turned over and slashed at the attacking black shadow with her sword.
Roar!
Accompanied by a high-pitched dragon roar, a giant frost dragon condensed from the Xuanbing Sword Qi flew out, piercing the air towards the black shadow that was flying in the air.
Click! Click! Click!
The ice dragon broke out, and everything in front of Xiao Jinyan and even the void froze at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the ice and snow continued to spread in the direction of the black shadow.
Xiao Jinyan recovered from her injuries and achieved a breakthrough in cultivation. The power of this sword increased several times!
"This guy broke through?!"
The black shadow felt the coldness and sword intent behind him, and the hairs all over his body stood up.
She suddenly turned around, took out a dagger, and stabbed out a crescent-like blade.
boom!
The next moment, the frost dragon collided with the sword light, instantly exploding with violent power.
"Um?"
Xiao Jinyan frowned slightly. It was clear that the black figure in front of her and the person on the treasure ship were the same person, but she felt that the other person seemed to have become much stronger.
However, Xiao Jinyan didn't think much about it.
"Leave things behind!"
Xiao Jinyan's sword failed to subdue the black shadow, and then she struck out with another sword.
"Who wants to fight you!"
The black shadow knew that Xiao Jinyan was powerful, so he turned around and wanted to run away, but Gu Jian had already blocked her.
"Whoever you are, leave your stuff behind!"
Gu Jian shouted.
"Hmph, a mere brat in the Sword Dan Realm wants to stop this girl?"
A trace of disdain appeared on the corner of the shadow's mouth.
Even if Gu Jian is very courageous and is a supreme swordsman, what can he do?
She is the Martial King of Transformation!
But the next moment, the shadow's smile faded, and a deep fear appeared in his eyes.
Because a talisman suddenly appeared in Gu Jian's hand, facing her directly!
"King Wu Talisman?!"
Heiying was shocked. Although she didn't know what level the King of Martial Talisman in Gu Jian's hand was, she didn't dare to gamble. What if it could kill her instantly?
"escape!"
The black shadow wanted to change direction and escape again, but at this time Xiao Jinyan had already come to kill him.
Wow!
The black ice sword light kept roaring towards them, and the black shadow could only block it with a dagger.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
Heiying was a peak martial king in the first level of the Void Realm, but he was retreating steadily under Xiao Jinyan's attacks, and even had the tip of the Ice Soul Sword pressed against his throat!
"Spare your life! Don't kill me!"
The black shadow suddenly asked for mercy.
Hearing this, Xiao Jinyan stopped the Ice Soul Sword steadily and stared coldly in front of her.
"Hand over the Panlong Cauldron!"
Xiao Jinyan said straightforwardly.
Although the woman was reluctant, she was forced to take out the Panlong Cauldron due to the fear of death.
Gu Jian immediately took it back to accept the ring.
"Tell me, who are you?"
Xiao Jinyan asked again coldly.
"My name is Ning Xuanyue. I am a thief, and I am Moonlight Phantom, one of the five kings of thieves in the wilderness. I saw that the cauldron in your hands is a treasure, so I decided to steal it."
Ning Xuanyue quickly replied.
"King of Thieves, Moonlight Phantom?" Xiao Jinyan frowned, as if she had heard of this name.
Gu Jian's eyes flashed and he asked: "Do you dare to make an oath to heaven to prove that you are not lying?"
"I……"
Seeing that Gu Jian actually forced herself to make an oath of heaven, Ning Xuanyue felt guilty on the spot.
"You still dare to lie to us?"
Xiao Jinyan's murderous intention was fully realized, and the cold black ice spiritual power burst out, and she was about to kill Ning Xuanyue.
"I am the heir of Panlong Pavilion!"
Ning Xuanyue was so frightened that she screamed.
"Heir of Panlong Pavilion?" Gu Jian and Xiao Jinyan looked at each other and asked Ning Xuanyue.
Ning Xuanyue wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and explained: "Don't kill me. I am the only remaining disciple of Panlong Pavilion. The Panlong Cauldron is the sacred object of our sect. That's why I want to take it back."
!”
"The oath of heaven."
Gu Jian still remained vigilant.
"I'll do it now. As long as you don't kill me, I will be the last person in Panlong Pavilion."
Ning Xuanyue held out three fingers in displeasure. It was not until she made the oath of heaven that Gu Jian and Xiao Jinyan realized that she was really the only disciple of Panlong Pavilion.
The Panlong Cauldron is the sacred object of Panlong Pavilion.
Gu Jian and Xiao Jinyan looked at each other, and they immediately understood each other's thoughts.
Xiao Jinyan asked: "Since you are a disciple of Panlong Pavilion, you should know where the secret realm of stars, the ancestor of your sect, Panlong Martial Saint, is, right?"
Ning Xuanyue frowned and said, "I will never tell you this even if I die."
"You can't inherit it just by relying on your three-legged cat skills."
Gu Jian said at this time.
"Tch, if I can't do it, how can you do it?" Ning Xuanyue asked sarcastically.
"You can leave us alone. Anyway, now that you've stolen from us, you can't afford it at all, right?" Gu Jian said calmly.
"The person next to me is proficient in all kinds of torture methods to extract confessions. Even if you don't say anything, she still has many ways to make you talk."
"Torture to extract confessions?"
Fear appeared in Ning Xuanyue's eyes.
She knew that Xiao Jinyan was not a good person, but she didn't expect that she, like Ning Xuanyue, was also proficient in torture.
"That's right." Gu Jian nodded and added, "But if you are willing to tell where the secret realm of stars is, maybe we can share with you any opportunities and inheritance we gain."
"This is unfair. The Panlong Cauldron belongs to the Panlong Pavilion. What qualifications do you have to take away the opportunity and inheritance from the Panlong Ancestor's Secret Realm of Stars?"
Ning Xuanyue asked unconvinced.
"fair?"
Xiao Jinyan smiled and shook her head.
"The blame lies with you, the elders of Panlong Pavilion. They failed to keep the Panlong Cauldron themselves. My husband obtained the Panlong Cauldron through formal channels and relied on his own efforts and strength. If he is not even qualified to enjoy the Panlong Cauldron,
The benefits of the tripod can be obtained by just being a thief?
Furthermore, if you want fairness, why don’t you tell Emperor Daqian?”
"you……"
Ning Xuanyue was speechless.
"If you have the guts to go to the Daqian treasure ship and steal the Dragon Cauldron, there must be a reason why you have to do it, so consider my proposal."
At this time, Gu Jian spoke again.
After weighing the pros and cons, Gu Jian and Xiao Jinyan decided to recruit Ning Xuanyue to join them.
This disciple of Panlong Pavilion may not be trustworthy, but at least he is an enemy of the Daqian Empire, and he is not very strong. With Xiao Jinyan's experience and strength, he can definitely keep an eye on her.
And if Gu Jian and Xiao Jinyan snatched the Panlong Cauldron, the Daqian Empire would definitely try their best to search for it. They were taking risks in the first place, let alone looking for information about the world of Panlong Martial Saint at the same time?
Although they may indeed be able to find out the information, apart from the time required, while investigating, they are also easily targeted by Da Gan's informants, which is too dangerous.
If a disciple of Panlong Pavilion leads the way, not only can they go directly to Panlong Martial Saint's Secret Realm of Stars, reducing a lot of risks, but even entering the Secret Realm of Stars will be much more convenient.
On the other hand, Ning Xuanyue began to think about the pros and cons after listening to Gu Jian's words.
In the end, she chose to accept it.
"Okay, I promise you, but at that time I will share one-third of the inheritance."
