Chapter 277
Under her gaze, Empty Hand Master quickly regained his composure.
Its all of the above! First of all, that is Great Xias Defender of the State Divine Sword. I was once a part of Great Xia, and I have received Great Xias grace. Morally and rationally, I cannot and do not wish to steal the divine sword! Secondly, its simply impossible to steal the divine sword!
Why not?
Life-Taking Rakshasa asked. The capital city of Great Xia currently has no Grandmaster in residence. Its a time of vulnerability! With your thieving skills, you could totally steal the divine sword!
Empty Hand Master shook his head, You only know one part of the story, not the other! Although there is no Grandmaster in the capital city of Great Xia, that divine sword can move on its own and is more dangerous than a Grandmaster! Whoever dares to cause trouble will surely be slain by the divine sword!
Life-Taking Rakshasa dismissed his concerns, I think youre just looking for an excuse to refuse! No matter how powerful a divine sword is, its just a weapon. Can it really slay a Grandmaster? Remember, you are now a person of Green Garment Tower with no connection to Great Xia! Ill give you three days to consider, and I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer!
After saying that, Life-Taking Rakshasa left.
Empty Hand Master was left alone, his expression fluctuating.
Unable to decide, Empty Hand Master had no choice but to seek advice from Lin Beifan.
After hearing the situation, Lin Beifan laughed, This is a good thing! Since she wants it, let her come and get it! We can take this opportunity to give Green Garment Tower a huge surprise!
Lin Beifan shared his plan with Empty Hand Master.
After returning, Empty Hand Master reported to Life-Taking Rakshasa, accepting the task.
However, he made a condition that Life-Taking Rakshasa herself must retrieve the divine sword.
Why? Life-Taking Rakshasa asked.
Empty Hand Master replied gravely, Because that divine sword has a demonic nature. Anyone who has not reached the realm of Grandmaster will be influenced by it, becoming deranged and murderous. I simply cannot touch the divine sword with my current level of cultivation!
Life-Taking Rakshasa nodded, Ive long heard that the divine sword is a cursed blade! From the moment it came into existence, it has caused a massacre. Everyone who came to seize the sword ended up slaughtering each other and meeting their untimely deaths! Very well, I shall accompany you on this journey. You go back and prepare. We will set off tomorrow!
Yes, Third Leader!
After Empty Hand Master left, Life-Taking Rakshasa called someone in.
Where are the three Grandmasters of Great Xia currently located, and has there been any movement?
The other party answered, Reporting to the Third Leader, Great Xias Sword Elder and Peerless Spear Immortal are currently escorting Emperor Lin Beifan of Great Xia. They should return to the capital city in about half a month! The other Grandmaster, Han Daosheng, is not in Great Xia but is secluded in his old residence, deeply engrossed in the study of saber techniques!
Life-Taking Rakshasa was visibly pleased, Good! It seems that Empty Hand Master has not betrayed us, and now is the perfect time for us to make our move! Great Xia surely has many treasures, and we can take this opportunity to break into the Great Xia capital city and plunder all the good things inside! And the 30 million taels, its time to pocket them as well!
The next day, Life-Taking Rakshasa gathered ten Innate experts, including Empty Hand Master, and headed for the Great Xia capital city.
Empty Hand Master looked troubled, Our mission is to seize the divine sword. Why bring so many people?
Life-Taking Rakshasa smiled slyly, Besides seizing the divine sword, we have many other things to do! It is said that the Great Xia imperial city contains many divine weapons, divine elixirs, and even secret manuals of divine technique! These are rare treasures, dont you want them? We can capture them all in one fell swoop!
You will completely offend Great Xia by doing this! Empty Hand Master felt anxious inside.
Their original plan was for the Grandmasters to remain inactive, luring Life-Taking Rakshasa into Xia and then using the Xuanxiao divine sword to deal with her.
The Xuanxiao Sword could transfer power between them, giving them a great chance to kill Life-Taking Rakshasa.
However, with the addition of ten Innate experts, all possessing Astral Qi or higher, this brought great uncertainty to their plan, and the Great Xia capital city was in danger.
Offend them? So be it. Its just an empire. Has our Green Garment Tower ever been afraid of making enemies?
Life-Taking Rakshasa said carelessly, Stop wasting time, we must set off immediately!
They quickly made their way to the Great Xia capital city.
As soon as they stepped into Great Xias territory, they were discovered by Lin Beifan.
He was overjoyed, I only intended to eliminate one Grandmaster, but now ten Innate experts have been delivered to me. Even the heavens are helping me, ahaha!
He immediately used the Hand of Weather, summoning wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, and even conjured a huge tornado.
This tornado was meant for Empty Hand Master.
In an instant, it swept him away.
Life-Taking Rakshasa couldnt react in time to save him and could only watch as he disappeared into the sky.
The storm is too strong, even people are being blown away. Lets find a place to take shelter from the rain! We will continue our journey once the storm stops and Empty Hand Master returns!
Yes, Third Leader!
They ran to a large mountain and used their strength to create a large cave to hide in.
Everything was going according to Lin Beifans plan.
At that moment, Lin Beifan struck from afar with a palm.
The palm transformed into a colossal hand that descended from the sky, landing on the mountain peak.
Boom!
In an instant, the world turned upside down!
The entire mountain peak was gone, replaced by a huge palm imprint.
At this time, the wind stopped, and the rain also ceased.
Empty Hand Master hurried back and gasped in shock at the scene before him.
Theres a palm imprint here!
Life-Taking Rakshasa and the others were right here. Could it be that they were taken out by a senior from the Buddhist Sect?
To confirm his suspicion, he went down into the pit of the palm imprint to dig and search for clues.
Then, he actually unearthed a familiar daggerMurderous Green.
Empty Hand Master vividly remembered that it had ended up in the hands of Life-Taking Rakshasa after he had stolen this divine weapon.
During their recent mission together, she had carried the dagger.
Now, the person was gone, but the dagger remained here
His suspicions were confirmed.
The sky is falling again!
Empty Hand Master was both shocked and relieved in his heart.
Fortunately, he had been blown away by a tornado at that time. Otherwise, he might have ended up like these people if he had stayed, reduced to ashes by a passing senior from the Buddhist Sect.
After some thought, he decided to keep the dagger and then made a quick escape.
That day, news of another palm imprint appeared within the Great Xia Empire, spreading rapidly across the world.
That senior from the Buddhist Sect has made a move again!
This is already the fourth palm imprint, each one deeper than the last!
What exactly is the senior up to? Why is he so fond of leaving palm imprints so much?
Drawn by the news, many people from the rivers and lakes came in search of opportunities.
Then, once again from within this giant palm imprint, they excavated a familiar divine weapon.
Huh? Isnt this the divine weapon Murderous Green from Green Garment Tower? How did it end up here?
It is said that this divine weapon had been stolen by Empty Hand Master and had once again returned to the hands of Green Garment Tower! But why has it appeared here again?
Can someone tell me what exactly happened?
With the unearthing of the divine weapon Murderous Green, the whole world is in an uproar!
