If it were an ordinary person saying this, it could be dismissed.
But cultivators have a clear mind and intense intuition, and many methods to discern the truth of othersâ words.
If one were to scrutinize closely, the truth could be discerned.
Yet, the intention of the Trench Patrol Guest seemed not to delve deeper but rather to crudely define the matter.
"Alright, thatâs it. Iâm on a tight schedule, donât bring me such trivial matters next time," the Trench Patrol Guest said coldly.
"As you command, my lord." Even after being casually reprimanded by the Trench Patrol Guest, the seductive male cultivator smiled.
He glanced provocatively at Lou Yi with a smug look.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan, Ding Shiniang, and the others looked sullen.
Whether by the rule of whoever sets the array first or by the principle of first-come-first-served, this lair should belong to them.
The Trench Patrol Guestâs decision was undeniably biased, even blatantly so, with absolute impunity.
But in the Abyss, especially in the Shisu District, no one could defy the Trench Patrol Guest âMoâ.
This unfair loss was inevitable for them today.
Just as the Trench Patrol Guest was about to leave, Lou Yi, who had been silent, suddenly made a move.
He quickly pointed three times in midair, indicating positions to everyone: "In these three places, I can sense faint traces of a Wood Element array."
Hearing Lou Yiâs words, the seductive male cultivator was the first to scoff: "If there were any array remnants, would we not have seen them?"
He carelessly extended his divine sense to the positions Lou Yi pointed out, and his expression changed.
Each position had extremely faint traces of a Wood Element array, seemingly about to merge into the void and disappear.
But for now, they still barely lingered in the air, perceptible to these Spirit Platform cultivators.
Such a tiny amount was like a drop in the ocean, hidden within the vast space.
Without a high-level cultivator meticulously searching, it would be impossible to discover.
âHow did a Body Cultivator detect it so quickly?â the seductive male cultivator thought in surprise.
"Indeed, those positions do have traces of a Wood Element array!" Ding Shiniang confirmed, overjoyed, "Zhou Nanâs team doesnât have a Wood Element cultivator!"
The seductive male cultivator called Zhou Nan was the leader of a team in the Shisu District, with considerable strength.
However, his subordinates included no Wood Element cultivators.
Without Wood Element cultivators, naturally, no Wood Element arrays would be set up, a common knowledge in the Cultivation Realm.
"That was the array I set yesterday, but they broke it; unfortunately, it wasnât handled cleanly," Elder Gui said with a smile, stroking his beard, and then looked at the Trench Patrol Guest Mo, asking, "My lord, as you can see, the evidence..."
"What does that prove?" Mo interrupted coldly.
"Ah..." Elder Gui thought the evidence was clear enough but was dumbfounded by the continued hostility in the Trench Patrol Guestâs attitude.
"Exactly!" Zhou Nan, the seductive male cultivator, interjected loudly, "Even if we donât have Wood Element cultivators, itâs not impossible to set basic Wood Element arrays!"
"Show me how you set one?" Elder Gui, irritated, retorted sarcastically.
Zhou Nan paused, not continuing further.
"Wood Element arrays can be set up with any fixed array plate; that doesnât prove anything," the Trench Patrol Guest âMoâ said, his tone cold and unquestionable, "This matter is clear; Zhou Nanâs team was the first to discover the spiritual creature lair.
Withdraw immediately, and do not engage in any conflict with them.
In the Abyss, eliminating demons should be prioritized, putting the bigger picture first!"
"Thatâs how it is today. I need to return to cultivate; I donât have time to waste with you all."
With that, he turned to leave.
"My lord!" Ding Shiniang cried out, her face flushed with rage, her chest heaving violently, stopping Mo.
"Hmm, do you have an issue with my decision?" Mo turned back, his eyes beneath the bronze mask emitting a chilling gleam.
"...Your servant dares not," Ding Shiniang swallowed hard, forcing a smile on her face.
"I hope so, hmph!" Mo sneered.
A gray flying boat, engraved with intricate runes, appeared under his feet, and with a âwhooshâ, it disappeared.
"Gentlemen, please," Zhou Nan, the seductive male cultivator, gestured flamboyantly for Lou Yiâs team to depart quickly, his hand poised elegantly.
"Zhou Nan, donât be so smug," Lin Xuan, who looked and acted like a child, said angrily, "Iâll remember today, itâs not over!"
"Oh, so the Golden Evil Child takes issue with the Trench Patrol Guestâs decision?" Zhou Nanâs face showed a sarcastic smile.
"Zhou Nan, stop trying to sow discord and spread false rumors," Ding Shiniang immediately pulled back Lin Xuan, whose horns stood upright in anger, and coldly said, "Letâs go!"
Thus, the ownership of the spiritual creature lair was settled.
Lou Yiâs team had undeniably suffered a significant loss.
After traveling more than ten li, certain their words would not be overheard,
Lin Xuan was the first to speak, exhaling loudly: "Iâm so angry, Iâm furious! That Mo is so unreasonable!"
"In the Abyss, strength is the true principle, reasoning means nothing," Qin Dong, usually silent, also spoke, clearly just as upset.
