Chapter 145: Unleashing Ambition

Dozens of people were clustered on the chains, their added weight reducing the sway of the chains significantly. More eyes turned toward the young man in blue on top of the cliff.
In the tense atmosphere, player after player carefully stood up from the chains…
They knew that seizing the treasure box was crucial for passing this level!
Only a few dozen minutes remained before the plot mission ended.
Whoever became the owner at the last moment would gain the treasures inside the box and have the chance to thrive and shine in the martial world ahead!
Everyone held their breath…
Whoosh!
Huh!!
The air currents, symbolizing the realm of creation, swayed slightly in the fierce mountain winds, while various protective spells made them more sensitive to even the slightest changes in energy.
On top of the cliff, Xian Kai stood there, his robes fluttering in the wind, his expression unchanged. From his vantage point, he surveyed the crowd below with an aura of invincibility—as if alone he could hold back an entire army!
On the surface, the group on the chains was clearly at a severe disadvantage… A single misstep could mean falling into an abyss and certain death. Yet, the martial world was not like fantasy magic; there were no group attacks. Even Xian Kai faced considerable pressure against dozens of players eyeing him warily as they approached the cliff.
“Attack together!”
“Charge!!” “Go!”
Someone on the chain bridge gave the signal, and the players in the front rows moved simultaneously, leaping in different directions like arrows shot from a bow, heading straight for the cliff above.
Over twenty players kept leaping one after another, advancing with astonishing momentum toward Xian Kai on top of the cliff—they also realized that with so many people attacking at once, their opponent would be easily distracted, and it would just be a matter of who would be targeted!
…
On the opposite cliff, You Ming reappeared near the chain bridge like a ghost. Looking into the distance, he witnessed the scene of dozens of people diving toward the opposite cliff. An icy smile appeared on his face.
“Let’s see how you handle this.”
These people were lured here by the messages You Ming had deliberately spread. Knowing his opponent was strong, You Ming decided to use others to weaken them, creating an opportunity for himself to cross the chain bridge. This way, when the reinforcements from Yipin Tang arrived, he wouldn’t have to worry about anyone blocking his path.
Just as You Ming was about to leap across the chain bridge…
Boom!!
The air currents surged!!
Suddenly, a circle of intense dark blue blade light appeared on the opposite cliff…
The sharp blade light erupted proudly atop the peak!

From this height in the Netherworld, it was as if an earth-shattering force had been unleashed—over twenty figures hovering above the cliff suddenly froze and were flung outward like leaves in a gale!
Over twenty figures were blasted beyond the cliff…
The faint, fading screams were extremely agonizing, even startling Yu Ming back from his advance.
Staring doubtfully at the cliff across, Yu Ming’s eyes showed not only shock but also fear and terror…
All the effort he had put into creating this opportunity was effortlessly undone by the other party.
Over twenty people had fallen into the abyss!
What could possibly happen to those who remained?
Sure enough!
The group that was slightly behind immediately chose to retreat without hesitation, using both hands and feet to move faster than they had come, and soon none of them were left.
“…”
Yu Ming frowned, stepped down a few meters, and disappeared after a few leaps.
…
After driving all the newcomers off the cliff with a “Flower Knight Slash,” Kai Xin calmly descended back to his original spot, sat down as usual, as if nothing had happened.
“Whoosh!”
A snow-white homing pigeon appeared before Kai Xin.
Slightly surprised, Kai Xin naturally stretched out his arm for the pigeon to land on, then took the note from its feet and unfolded it:
“The Lonely Three Wolves say you agree to join the Colorful Robes Sect.”
It was signed by “Feng Wu Cai Yi.”
It was a question asking why Kai Xin hadn’t accepted the invitation to join immediately.
Without hesitation, Kai Xin took pen and paper and replied,
“I have matters to attend to today; it’s not convenient. We can talk tomorrow.”
The homing pigeon flew away and soon returned:
“Good! Also, do you have any extra high-quality martial arts manuals? If so, we can arrange an internal transaction at market price.” Feng Wu Cai Yi’s reply was concise yet impactful.
From the subsequent words, it was clear that Feng Wu Cai Yi already understood that true strength within a sect came from the number of disciples skilled in high-quality martial arts!
The fact that she could say such things clearly showed she already possessed the awareness and responsibility of a sect leader.
Truly worthy of being Feng Wu Cai Yi.
Smiling inwardly, Kai Xin began to think.
As for high-quality martial arts, he did indeed have a few—besides the “Demonic Subduing Staff Technique,” “Seven Stars Sword Art,” and “Dragon Walking Steps,” there was also the “Golden Bell Shield” he had just obtained from Master Xuan Kong, a top-tier protective technique.

However, the cultivation requirements for “Seven-Star Sword Art” are quite high, and it combines mental techniques with sword moves, complementing each other to produce great power; he wanted to keep it for his own cultivation. “Dragon-Step” is an elite light combat skill that also requires a cultivation level of the Mysterious Realm. “Golden Bell Shield” has always had a high price in later generations, being in short supply; few people could afford it at the moment, and he planned to cultivate it himself as well. After much thought, only “Demonic Subjugation Staff Technique” seemed suitable for sale…

And!

Kai Xin glanced at the Cosmic Bag, pondered for a moment, then replied, “There’s only one elite martial art: ‘Demonic Subjugation Staff Technique.’ Please help me contact them. The price should be 100,000 taels of silver per copy. Additionally, I can give away a lower-grade famous weapon, the ‘Silver-Horned Staff,’ worth 20,000 taels of silver.”

In fact, Kai Xin remembered that in the later stages, Feng Wu Cai Yi somehow developed a fascination with heavy weapons like the shoulder-length spear-like staff, to the point of obsession. She might be able to master “Demonic Subjugation Staff Technique” on her own.

Sure enough!

This time, it took Feng Wu Cai Yi a full four minutes to reply.

“Silver-Horned Staff? Are there any attribute descriptions or pictures of it?”

Kai Xin was momentarily stunned before laughing.

In later generations, the Silver-Horned Staff was very famous and common, with its attributes well-known to everyone. But in this era, it hadn’t appeared yet. The two “Silver-Horned Staffs” he had taken from the Monk Who Cracked Secrets should rank first and second…

No wonder Feng Wu Cai Yi asked such a question!

However, from her tone, it seemed she was somewhat interested.

He immediately took out the image and details of the Silver-Horned Staff, attached them to a note for the homing pigeon, and sent it to her.

Silver-Horned Staff: Grade 8 famous weapon (lower grade). Impressive and domineering weapon! Increases damage by 180 points, weapon defense by 240 points, and blocking success rate by 60%. Requires 48 points in strength and 40 points in agility. Durability: 1,000 points!

After receiving the image and attributes of the Silver-Horned Staff, Feng Wu Cai Yi quickly replied that she would take it, wanting to trade in RMB. At the current exchange rate, it would be around 12,000 yuan. She explained that she had only recently reached the Creation Realm and had not yet acquired any elite martial arts. As a sect leader, it would be unreasonable not to advance to the level of elite martial arts as soon as possible.

After agreeing, Kai Xin fell into another consideration.

He suddenly remembered that elite martial arts were still very scarce at the moment.

And remember, in the early stages, sword techniques and combat arts were in high demand, with prices reaching 200,000 silver coins yet still in short supply. Although he knew nothing about the secret arts from his past life, as strictly guarded by various organizations, he was well aware of the origins of these superior martial arts. Why not take advantage of his rebirth to make a fortune in superior martial arts manuals before his enemies appeared? At the same time, boost the overall strength of the Colorful Robes Sect?
