Chapter 939:

Robb raised his head and chuckled, Blaming me for destroying your artifact? Why dont you blame yourself for recklessly provoking others?

The Elder Guardian fumed, You entered our Eighteen Divinations territory and didnt pay protection fees, yet you dare say we provoked you? Clearly, you didnt follow the rules first.

Robb chuckled, Ive paid my taxes to the Eastern Rabbit Kingdom, so Im following the rules. But I cant be bothered with your rule of establishing a territory to collect protection fees.

The Elder Guardian was furious. Enough talk! Prepare to meet your doom.

He took out a wooden fish from his pocket, only the size of his palm, and threw it into the water. The fish instantly grew into a giant whale, breaking the water surface and charging at Robb. Simultaneously, the Elder Guardian floated over the waters surface, drawing a longsword and thrusting it towards Robbs face.

Eastern swordsmanship was known for its agility and versatility, with countless follow-up attacks that left onlookers dazzled. This attack was the Elder Guardian s ace in the hole. Normally, if someone could withstand the artifact, they wouldnt be able to defend against the swordsmanship from his main body. Conversely, to evade his swordsmanship, they would often be powerless against the artifact attacking from underwater.

Many experts had fallen victim to this move.

However, Robb wasnt falling for it. He clasped his palms together in the middle, using the ninja skill White Blade

The Elder Guardian was quite confident in his swordsmanship. When he saw his opponent attempting to catch his sword with a pair of seal paws, he couldnt help but sneer. How inflexible can your seal paws be? You dare to catch my sword with them? Let me slightly change my technique. He swung his sword in a brilliant display, creating a dazzling array of sword flowers that made it impossible for anyone to see clearly. He wondered how those clumsy seal paws could catch his sword.

As he was thinking this, he heard a snap. The fleshy seal paws accurately caught the Elder Guardian s longsword, holding it securely.

The Elder Guardian tried to pull it back, but it wouldnt budge, and he looked shocked.

The hall master and the Elder Guardian shivered with fear. They dared not remain silent, and after exchanging glances, the Elder Guardian sighed, Ive been single-mindedly focused on my cultivation and havent paid much attention to the affairs of the martial world.

The hall master added, I do know some clues, but will you really let us go?

Robb smiled, I really will. Dont worry!

The hall master then said, Alright, we, the Eighteen Divinations, did indeed receive some information regarding Xuanyuan Black Iron recently. Its said that theres a piece of Xuanyuan Black Iron, as big as a human head, in the possession of a gang in East Hangzhou called the Qiantang Sect. They are the most powerful sect in East Hangzhou, with numerous skilled members. After obtaining the Xuanyuan Black Iron, all the martial experts in their gang returned to the headquarters from all over the kingdom and guarded the iron tightly. Anyone attempting to steal their Xuanyuan Black Iron would undoubtedly face a deadly battle against the top experts of the Qiantang Sect. Less powerful gangs dare not attempt such a heist. After careful consideration, we, the Eighteen Divinations, have decided to abandon the pursuit of this Xuanyuan Black Iron. Its just not worth the risk.

Robb replied, Wow! Youre quite clever, giving me information about a formidable sect so I can go after the Xuanyuan Black Iron and potentially get killed, right?

The hall master said, Of course not! You asked me about the Xuanyuan Black Iron, and this is the only lead I have. I certainly didnt mean to manipulate the situation.

Robb chuckled, Alright, I dont really care about your intentions. Ill go take a look anyway. Maybe you can send some people to follow along, just to check if theres any possibility of using the situation to your advantage or if theres a chance for unexpected gains.

The hall master and the Elder Guardian kept saying they wouldnt dare, but secretly, they couldnt help but think, We could actually follow along and see if theres a chance to pick up some leftovers.

Robb smiled, Alright, you can go now. I wont give you a hard time. Just one piece of advice being bad guys collecting protection fees isnt a sustainable plan. You should focus more on dealing with the ghost pirates. Do your work properly and be good people; otherwise, even if I spare you, there will be other righteous heroes coming after you. Justice may be slow, but it never fails to arrive. Villains will eventually meet their just fate.

With that, he dove into the water and swiftly swam to a distant location.

The hall master and the Elder Guardian exchanged glances and couldnt help but laugh and sigh, A seal spirit actually said these things.
