"Hahaha, excellent, excellent! I finally have a suitable weapon!"
Meng Nan brandished the silver longsword in his hand, having eliminated a competitor, and then his gaze fell upon Ye Cangtian.
"Ye Cangtian, thank you, thank you!"
"If you hadn't taken the lead in not rushing to grab, I truly wouldn't have obtained such a fine weapon."
Meng Nan looked at Ye Cangtian, his smile filled with mockery.
While obtaining a suitable weapon was a great pleasure, being able to disgust Ye Cangtian was equally exhilarating.
"Not bad, not bad. There's another artifact here that can enhance spiritual power."
Hun Liu held a scepter and also looked at Ye Cangtian.
He was even more direct. To disgust Ye Cangtian, he directly bowed and said, "Ye Cangtian, thank you!"
Continuous voices arose. Ye Cangtian's eyes remained as calm as still water, as if he hadn't heard anything.
The people around him, though they hadn't gone to compete for the weapons, their expressions had changed slightly.
After a moment, Ye Cangtian said faintly, "I advise you all. Why do you think Emperor Canglan provided you with weapons? Is he in a hurry to commit suicide?"
In Ye Cangtian's view, if this wasn't a trap, then Emperor Canglan was merely exploiting everyone's greed to make them slaughter each other.
Furthermore, Emperor Canglan had already achieved this.
As it stood, at least a hundred people had fallen to the ground in the struggle for these weapons.
Although Qingyan tried her utmost to dissuade them, faced with the temptation of so many treasures, no one listened to her.
"Ye Cangtian, you can't get the grapes, so you call them sour!"
"The opportunity wasn't not given to you. You yourself were afraid to come forward and now you're babbling nonsense, what kind of person are you!"
Meng Nan glanced at Ye Cangtian and spoke with disdain.
He truly detested Ye Cangtian's demeanor. It was clearly because the other party was too cautious and afraid to come forward and compete, yet he still wanted to influence others in their pursuit of treasures.
If no one were to snatch these treasures, would they be left to gather dust here forever?
In his opinion, this was the mentality of a petty person; what they couldn't have, others shouldn't have either!
Incited by Meng Nan, those who had gone to seize the treasures cast scornful glances at Ye Cangtian, and criticized him unreservedly with their mouths.
Sigh!
Ye Cangtian shook his head helplessly. These people were clearly blinded by the treasures, and no one could persuade them anymore.
Buzz...
Just then, within the armory, the space seemed to tear open, and a portal suddenly formed.
Seeing the portal before them, everyone was stunned on the spot.
They had encountered many portals along the way and assumed they were a type of formation. However, one appearing out of thin air clearly indicated their previous assumptions were wrong.
If this portal was the work of Emperor Canglan, then to tear space and create a portal, what kind of formidable cultivation would be required?
As everyone was speculating, in the armory, all the unselected weapons flew towards the portal in unison.
Simultaneously, Emperor Canglan's voice echoed again.
"You do not cherish the favor I bestowed upon you, so I shall reclaim it!"
As the voice fell, the weapons were swept away, and the portal closed once more.
Hahaha...
Seeing this, Meng Nan burst into laughter and pointed at Ye Cangtian, saying, "Fearful of the wolf and hesitant like a tiger, now that the weapons have been reclaimed, you haven't gotten a single feather!"
As he spoke, Meng Nan looked at the people around Ye Cangtian and continued, "You idiots, blindly believing Ye Cangtian, the ducks that were almost caught have flown away, what a pity...
With these words, the gazes of the surrounding people towards Ye Cangtian were somewhat affected.
They had risked their lives to come here just to snatch treasures, yet now the treasures had flown away before their eyes.
How could they feel at ease? How could they not resent Ye Cangtian!
Ye Cangtian remained calm and composed. Although the guards were displeased, they made no move, and he was too lazy to pursue it.
He glanced at Meng Nan and said calmly, "Meng Nan, you repeatedly sow discord. Do you think that having a suitable weapon allows you to fight me? Shall we give it a try?"
This...
With that remark, Meng Nan was instantly rendered speechless. He had already sensed a hint of killing intent in Ye Cangtian's eyes.
If they were to fight, even with help, he would likely be unable to preserve his life. Therefore, the best course of action now was to stop provoking Ye Cangtian.
Thus, for a moment, the entire third-floor hall fell silent.
Buzz...
Just then, another sound of space tearing echoed, and a portal once again appeared in everyone's sight.
"You little bugs, your cultivation is too weak, it doesn't arouse the slightest interest in me."
"For this reason, I have brought out two pills from the past, named the Qiankun Emperor Pill!"
"This pill has powerful effects. For Quasi-Heavenly rank experts, it offers a seventy percent chance of breaking through to the Heavenly rank. For Earthly rank experts, it offers a hundred percent chance of breaking through to the Quasi-Heavenly rank!"
"The two pills are behind the portal. First come, first served..."
This...
After Emperor Canglan's voice fell, everyone was slightly stunned, and no one moved an inch.
There were two reasons for this.
Firstly, breaking through to the Heavenly rank was extremely difficult. To achieve success with just one pill, they were somewhat disinclined to believe it.
Moreover, they had never even heard of the Qiankun Emperor Pill. Who knew if it was a scam?
Secondly, beyond the portal lay a new space, separating them from the main group. If anything were to happen, it could cost them their lives.
Therefore, they had to be cautious and prudent at this moment.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian looked at Yao Bao'er and inquired, "Bao'er, have you heard of the Qiankun Emperor Pill?"
Yao Bao'er heard this and nodded gently, "In the pill scripture left by the Lord of Darkness, there is indeed a record of the Qiankun Emperor Pill, and its effects are no different from what Emperor Canglan said..."
Yao Bao'er stated that although she knew of such a pill, the medicinal ingredients required were all divine-grade heavenly treasures, extremely difficult to gather, and even more difficult to refine.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian furrowed his brows, but his body remained steady in his seat, without any movement.
Swish...
Yao Bao'er's voice was not loud, but among the people present, they were either experts or elites. Furthermore, Yao Bao'er made no attempt to conceal her voice, so everyone heard it clearly.
As a result, the moment her voice fell, many people took action and rushed towards the portal.
Previously, they were unaware if the Qiankun Emperor Pill truly existed, so they dared not take the risk.
Now that they learned that everything Emperor Canglan had said was true, they ultimately could not resist the temptation.
After all, becoming a Heavenly rank expert meant ascending to heaven in a single step.
It meant instantly transforming from a nobody into a leader of a faction, with a drastic change in status and position.
Therefore, to gamble their lives for these things was indeed worthwhile.
Thus, in a short while, at least two to three hundred people rushed into the portal, the majority of whom were those who had previously fought for weapons.
And on Ye Cangtian's side, very few people rushed out.
Firstly, the portal was located on one side of the original armory, giving those who fought for weapons a head start.
Secondly, so many people had already gone; even if they went, it would result in exceptionally fierce combat.
Finally, Ye Cangtian's group remained as steadfast as ever, clearly indicating that in Ye Cangtian's opinion, this was still a trap.
Bang! Bang!
Just then, two muffled thuds were heard, and beside the portal, two figures were ejected.
These two were none other than Di Hun and Hun Yi from the Flying Cloud Pavilion.
Although the Qiankun Emperor Pill did not have a significant effect on the two of them, obtaining it would greatly enhance the combat power of the Flying Cloud Pavilion.
This could also be considered a great contribution.
However, the two of them had not expected that while others could enter the portal, they would be ejected, and their expressions immediately changed dramatically.
"I forgot to tell you, since the Qiankun Emperor Pill does not have much effect on Heavenly rank experts, I have decided that experts at or above the Heavenly rank cannot obtain it!"
"Also, I want to kindly remind you that there is one minute left until the portal closes. Those who want the Qiankun Emperor Pill need to hurry!"
Before Di Hun and Hun Yi could roar, Emperor Canglan's voice echoed again.
