Unsheathed

The scholar felt a splitting headache after he woke up, and he discovered that he was located next to a steep cliff. There was a suspension bridge that looked like a long snake nearby, and the bridge swayed slightly in the mountain wind.

His Hundred Eye Taotie Dao robe was already gone, and the secret talisman hidden inside his sleeve had naturally fallen into Chen Haoren's hands as well.

Moreover, he was bound by a golden demon-binding chain, and glancing down, he could tell that the grade of this treasure was quite high. It was actually crafted from two whiskers of a flood dragon, and the age of the flood dragon definitely wasn't low. Comparing the so-called flood dragon whiskers of Copper Green Lake's silver carp to the flood dragon whiskers of the demon-binding chain was probably the same as comparing Lady Bishu to a genuine toad from the Moon Palace, right? Perhaps the gulf wasn't so great, but it wouldn't be too far off either.

The scholar couldn't help but chuckle in speechlessness.

He didn't put up any struggle at all.

This was because two bonded flying swords were guarding him, one pointing at his glabella from in front and one pointing at his heart from behind.

Fortunately, he hadn't woken up from the Soul-Returning Lotus Flower Light in his clan's ancestral hall. That would have been the worst-case scenario.

The scholar sighed and said, "Brother Haoren, remember to return what you've borrowed afterward."

Not far away, a young wanderer wearing a bamboo hat was sitting cross-legged on the cliff and practicing the Sword Furnace Stance.

He remained silent.

"Brother Haoren, your hobby of taking clothes off other people isn't very good," the scholar continued. "Was I correct in saying that the dragon robe worn by that ruler we found in Lady Bishu's treasure chamber disintegrated at a single touch? And I genuinely didn't lie to you about the Dao robe worn by that female cultivator from the Lofty Moral Sect either. It's extremely ordinary, and it's only a spirit tool like that ritual wine bowl from the ancestral hall of the Lofty Moral Sect. It won't fetch a good price, and you'll only make some money if you come across a cultivator who likes to collect Dao robes."

Chen Ping'an continued to remain silent.
