By then, they would have become mere “nutrient” for the soul urns.He pondered this inwardly, a smug sneer playing on his lips.noveldrama“Foolish.”From the corner, David’s voice, tinged with cold sarcasm, reached the ears of the crowd.His voice was like a thunderclap, shattering the false harmony of the Soul Gathering Altar.The monks fell silent, turning to look at David, their faces darkening.The resentment of David’s earlier “interference” surged back. The bearded man roared, “You traitor again! What’s your business with our breakthrough? Are you jealous of us?”David ignored the man, staring intently at the golden-robed monk. His tone was filled with unquestionable authority: “Hand over the Soul Urn.”His gaze was like two sharp swords, piercing the golden-robed monk’s heart and sending a wave of fear through his veins.The golden-robed monk’s face darkened, then feigned bewilderment. “What are you talking about, Daoist? What Soul Urn? I don’t understand.”He spoke as he quietly retreated, his hand reaching for the communication talisman at his waist.Knowing David’s strength, he had to notify the Sixth Palace Master. A moment’s delay would allow him to await their assistance.The golden-robed monk prayed silently in his heart, hoping that the Sixth Palace Master would arrive as soon as possible to rescue him from this siege.“Don’t understand?” David sneered, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.His speed was incredibly fast, like a ghost, making it impossible to track him.When he reappeared, he was already standing in the center of the platform, his right hand reaching directly for the groove.His movements were clean and precise, without the slightest hesitation.Seeing this, the golden-robed monk became anxious. He pulled out a folding fan and slapped David on the back, shouting, “Fellow Daoists! This traitor is trying to steal the temple’s treasures! He’s destroying your Daoist aspirations! Stop him!”The newly-breakthrough monks, already resentful of David, were instantly enraged at the mere mention of stealing treasures.As if injected with a dose of stimulant, more than a dozen monks simultaneously charged at David, their magical instruments unleashed.
