Both of them sighed at the same time, and then their gazes descended onto Tang Ye. If An Nanjing was excluded, then the most outstanding amongst the human profounders here was Tang Ye. Unfortunately, he only had a few years left to live.... Of course, if Tang Ye possessed natural talent which was equivalent to An Nanjing, then they would find a way to replenish Tang Ye’s lifespan even if they had to use the resources of their entire sect. Unfortunately, Tang Ye didn’t.... However, Tang Ye still had some value now. Why? Because with the strength Tang Ye possessed, it was practically inevitable that Tang Ye would gain a position in the rankings. So long as Tang Ye was in the top 10, then he would be able to obtain Karmic Luck. In other words, if Tang Ye were to join their sects, then their sects would be able to benefit from the Karmic Luck that Tang Ye obtained. When he thought up to here, Qian Huan was the first to speak. He said, “Kid, I’ll try to extend your lifespan if you’re willing to join my sect. What do you think?” Tang Ye shook his head and spoke indifferently. “Thank you for the good intentions, Senior. However, I’m used to being free, and I’m no accustomed to being tied down. So, I appreciate your kindness, Senior.” Meanwhile, Feng Xiu grunted coldly and said, “Your natural endowment and natural talent in the Sword Dao are very good indeed, but if you don’t have the fostering of a sect and a huge amount of cultivation resources, then it would be in vain no matter how extraordinary your natural talent in the Sword Dao is. I won’t be as hypocritical as Qian Huan. I won’t ask you to join my sect, and I just want you to give 80% of the Karmic Luck you obtain to my Clear River Sect!” “Why would I do that?” Tang Ye started laughing from the extreme rage he felt. Feng Xiu’s eyes narrowed slightly while a strand of cold light flashed through his eyes. He said, “I’ll naturally not take your Karmic Luck for nothing. You’ll provide Karmic Luck to my sect, and my sect will provide a certain amount of cultivation resources to you. Moreover, I can give you some cultivation techniques and combat techniques as well. Don’t worry, they’ll be at the Earth Rank at least!” “Forget it!” Tang Ye refused decisively. “I can obtain cultivation resources myself, so Senior doesn’t have to worry about that. Besides that, since Senior was frank, then I’ll be frank as well. I don’t want to join any sect, so don’t waste your effort anymore. Please go look for someone else if you want Karmic Luck!”Feng Xiu’s face fell because a tiny profounder at the Spirit Realm had actually dared to speak to him like that. Such blatant disrespect! He wanted to teach Tang Ye a lesson. However, he had no choice but to abandon this thought when he recalled the rules of the Ancient Battlefield. In the end, he merely glanced coldly at Tang Ye and said, “As expected of a Sword Cultivator, you even speak so arrogantly. I hope your life will be as great as your arrogance!” As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Xiu’s figure flashed and vanished on the spot. Qian Huan said, “Kid, even though his way of speed wasn’t pleasant, you shouldn’t have talked back to him. It’s really unwise to offend an expert!” Tang Ye laughed coldly and said, “Senior, you should be clearly aware of the reason why I would have offended such an expert.” He’d never thought of offending an extraordinary expert. But it couldn’t be helped because Feng Xiu had spoken in such a haughty manner as if recruiting Tang Ye was the greatest fortune in Tang Ye’s lifetime. If it wasn’t for his insufficient strength, he would have drawn his sword and attacked by now. Qian Huan was stunned, and then he shook his head and laughed before falling silent. He glanced at An Nanjing while true regret flashed clearly through his eyes. It wasn’t a huge deal that he was unable to recruit Tang Ye. After all, Tang Ye only had a few years to live. So, no matter how monstrous his genius was, it would only last for a short while. However, An Nanjing was different. She was a truly extraordinary genius! He could imagine that if his sect were to be able to recruit her, then she would definitely be able to bring his sect to its peak in the future. It would become the 1st Tenth Rank Sect in the last 10,000 years of the continent! Unfortunately.... It was truly unfortunate! Both Feng Xiu and Qian Huan had thought of taking her by force, but they had no choice but to abandon such a thought. Why? It wasn’t worth the risk! Not to mention that they didn’t know the identity of An Nanjing’s sect and master, taking such action would definitely make An Nanjing detest them. The slightest mistake would even make their sects have an extraordinarily formidable enemy in the future!So, they had no choice but to abandon such a thought! Qian Huan shook his head, and then he glanced at everyone present here and said, “It’s about time. The Hidden Dragon Rankings starts officially right now. Work hard for the fate of your sects and yourselves!” As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from within An Nanjing, and it made the expressions of everyone change. Because it was the aura of a Spirit Realm expert! An Nanjing’s figure flashed and appeared on the Hidden Dragon Arena. She glanced at the others below the arena and spoke indifferently. “There’s no need to waste time. All of you can fight me at the same time!”
