Chapter 2832: Chapter 2852: Mind your own business, why involve me?

Su Hao and Dai Yunshen showed strange and ridiculous expressions on their faces, exchanging glances that conveyed their disbelief.

Had they been robbed?

As the Sect Master and Deputy Sect Master of the Artifact Refining World’s top sects, ’Beixing River’ and ’Southern Heavenly Fire,’ were they actually being robbed?

Su Hao stared at the black-robed person, "You mean, you want to rob us?"

The black-robed person calmly replied, "You’re not wrong to think that way. Of course, you could also think of it as a ransom. By providing materials of sufficient value, you can buy back your lives. Given your status and artifact refining strength in the Xinghe and Skyfire Sects, I believe both sects would be quite willing to pay this ransom."

Su Hao understood; this was not a robbery, but a kidnapping!

Two Peak Great Luo Initial Immortals were being held for ransom, and the perpetrator wanted the two sects to pay to secure their release!

This was utterly laughable!

Su Hao and Dai Yunshen exchanged another look, both seeing the gravity reflected in each other’s eyes.

Ever since they had been trapped here, they had been observing their surroundings, trying to find a breach. However, up until now, they had discovered nothing of value.

Though they hadn’t taken action, as artifact refining masters, they had guessed from the recent changes that they were encircled within a separate space. Escaping wouldn’t be easy.

In such a predicament, escape usually required either a powerful breakthrough of the space or locating the magical treasure that blockaded the space, find a way to suppress it, or at least prevent it from operating normally. Then the space would naturally reveal flaws, and they could break free.

Yet there stood the black-robed person, casually facing the two of them. Unafraid of the terrifying coercion emanating from them and even claiming that killing them would be easy, which made both highly wary.

The other party knew their identities and strengths but still dared to take action. Unless the person was a desperate madman, they must be very confident.

Dai Yunshen narrowed his eyes, "Since you say it’s easy to kill us, why not just do it and take our things? Why go to all this trouble? With our identities, we carry quite a few Spiritual Treasures and precious materials on us."

The black-robed person shook his head, "Your magical treasures are indeed decent, but they’re of little use to me—they don’t interest me. What I need are certain materials which I can refine myself. Of course, I might also invite you two to help refine some things. As long as you agree, you’ll both be able to return safely."

Su Hao said angrily, "If you want taking things, you’ll need to show some skill, start by defeating us."

Dai Yunshen nodded in agreement with Su Hao’s point.

Although they knew their adversary was formidable, two Peak Great Luo Xian should not submit just because of a few words. If word got out, it would be utterly ridiculous.

The black-robed person did not seem surprised and nodded slightly, "Indeed, one won’t shed tears until they see the coffin. You need to face death to make the right choice."

With a sweep of his sleeve, the black-robed person sent an unremarkable, pitch-black stick flying out. It suddenly enlarged in midair, transforming into an immense metal stick that then unceremoniously smashed down.

Su Hao’s and Dai Yunshen’s faces changed abruptly as they both pointed a finger at their Life-bound magical treasures.

Their treasures soared into the sky, colliding violently with the black stick, then were brutally knocked away.

Su Hao and Dai Yunshen both let out a pained cry, their faces turning deathly pale as blood seeped from the corners of their mouths.

Lin Chen, who was hiding behind the two, felt his heart sink as he witnessed the scene.

Could the black-robed person be a Quasi-Saint?

Earlier in the Misty World, when the space bomb exploded tearing everything asunder, it was this same black-robed person who faced the shockwave and used the Greenish Ancient Bell to staunchly block the explosion, preserving a group of people. If not for that, the blast might have claimed the lives of all the black-robed people.

Now, with just one strike, the combined force of the two Peak Great Luo Xian, Su Hao and Dai Yunshen, couldn’t withstand it, indicating the black-robed person’s strength was far superior to theirs.

Lin Chen couldn’t help feeling unlucky. He had only just managed to escape the Misty World and avoided them, and now, unexpectedly, he had encountered them again.

Listening to the black-robed person’s demands, Lin Chen roughly guessed the intention. Previously, they had prepared adequate materials and continuously refined them to construct a Sacrificial Altar, but the altar was completely destroyed by his space bomb, along with all the materials.

Regardless of their goal, with the altar gone, they couldn’t complete their objective, so now they needed to find new materials and rebuild. And what sects could have more materials for artifact refining than the Xinghe and Skyfire Sects?

By capturing Su Hao and Dai Yunshen, two symbolic figures, and pressuring their sects to hand over sufficient materials, even asking both to assist in artifact refining, they intended to rebuild the Sacrificial Altar!

Realizing the reason, Lin Chen couldn’t help feeling exasperated, "You build your altar, why drag me into it?"

Had he offended them in some way?
