Jian Wushuang stayed inside the Holy Place, immersing himself in the Slaughter Dao, with no idea that he was being targeted by Crystal-armored Monster Emperor .
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye .
During these days, he became more accustomed to the Slaughter Dao . Now, he was able to use its power much more easily .
However, he knew that this was only minor progress and that he still had a long way to go . So far, he was only able to use the power of the Slaughter Dao on its own . He was still unable to combine it with his other skills .
“Ten days have passed . Temple Master Iceberg must be running out of patience, so it’s time to give him an answer . ” Jian Wushuang smiled and went to meet Temple Master Iceberg .
Among the palaces that covered the mountain in the Holy Place, there was a scarlet one, and the owner of that palace was naturally Temple Master Iceberg .
The palace was well-decorated and the master was sitting before a table, barefoot, drinking by himself .
“I’ve yet to receive an answer from Jian Wushuang over these past 10 days . ” Temple Master Iceberg frowned . “Maybe he discovered the secrets behind the compass?”
“No, he couldn’t have . ”
Temple Master Iceberg shook his head . “The compass is not a treasure at all . Its only value is related to Ancient World Token . Since he’s still in the Saint Realm, he should still know nothing about the token, so he won’t be able to figure out anything regarding the compass . ”
“Moreover, I apologized to him and flattered him as much as I could . If he is smart, he should know to avoid offending me for an object that he doesn’t know the value of . ”
Temple Master Iceberg was lost in thought when a guard came and reported to him . “Temple Master, Sword Emperor is asking to see you . ”
“He’s finally arrived . ” Temple Master Iceberg’s eyes lit up . “Let him in . ”
After the guard left, Jian Wushuang quickly walked in .
“Temple Master Iceberg,” Jian Wushuang said modestly .
“Haha, Sword Emperor, finally, here you are . ” Temple Master Iceberg wore a big smile and waved towards Jian Wushuang . “Come, take a seat, let’s enjoy a drink together . ”
“No, but thank you . I don’t feel like drinking right now . ” Jian Wushuang shook his head and continued, “Temple Master Iceberg, I’ve searched through Emperor Golden Snake’s Interspatial Ring for that compass you wanted . ”
Temple Master Iceberg immediately looked toward Jian Wushuang with expectation .
“But, I’m really sorry, I didn’t find that compass,” said Jian Wushuang .
“You didn’t find it?” Temple Master Iceberg’s smile disappeared . He continued in a gentle voice, “Did you search for it carefully? I gave that compass to Golden Snake in person, and he took it with him wherever he went . It must be in his Interspatial Ring . ”
“I’ve looked through the ring almost a hundred times, but I was unable to find it . ” Jian Wushuang shook his head again . “Maybe, I was being too careless . After all, there are a lot of treasures in the ring and I don’t know what it looks like . Could you describe it to me? Maybe tell me its shape, size, color, or something else about it? I’ll check for it again . ”
“It’s shape and size?” Temple Master Iceberg paused .
He did know that Emperor Golden Snake had a compass in his Interspatial Ring, but he had never seen it himself .
“Sword Emperor . ” Temple Master Iceberg looked serious . “Frankly speaking, I didn’t actually give Golden Snake the compass myself, but it’s true that it means a lot me, so I hope that you can give it back to me, and I’ll owe you a favor, ok?”
“Owe me a favor?” Upon hearing those words, Jian Wushuang was even more sure that the compass had to be unusual .
Otherwise, Temple Master Iceberg would not have made a promise so easily .
They both knew that it was always hard to settle a debt, maybe even harder for a master like Temple Master Iceberg .
“If it was someone else who was asking, then I might agree to their request, but this Temple Master Iceberg…” Jian Wushuang smiled coldly in the heart .
He had not forgotten that it was Temple Master Iceberg who had promoted the Life-death Duel between Golden Snake and him, even though he knew that, as a Saint Realm expert, Jian Wushuang would inevitably die in that battle .
Had it not been for the fact that Jian Wushuang broke through to the Slaughter Dao during the battle, he might have died already .
In one word, because of Temple Master Iceberg, he had been forced to place one foot in the grave .
He was completely enraged and would not get over it with just a simple apology .
Most importantly, Jian Wushaung understood that Temple Master Iceberg didn’t apologize to him because he felt sorry, it was only in order to get the compass .
Jian Wushuang reckoned that he would not pay attention to him at all if he did not have the compass .
“Temple Master Iceberg, few people in the Monster-exterminating League would dare to refuse a favor from you . But, I’m terribly sorry, I’m unable to find the compass you want in the ring,” Jian Wushuang said directly .
He told a lie with a straight face .
Temple Master Iceberg looked grave .
“Jian Wushuang!”
The master’s voice turned icy as he called Jian Wushuang by his name .
“I’ve shown enough respect to you . Don’t force me to do this the hard way . ” Temple Master Iceberg gazed at Jian Wushuang and said, “The compass is useless to you, so just give it to me or…”
“Or?” Jian Wushuang showed a cold look . “Or you’ll kill me on spot and then seize the Interspatial Ring?”
Temple Master Iceberg paused .
Even though he was one of the most powerful Temple Masters in the Monster-exterminating League, he was not the strongest . There was another terrifying person, Temple Master Black Spirit, who was superior to him .
Therefore, he dared not kill Jian Wushuang while inside the Holy Place .
“Jian Wushuang, do you really want there to be bad blood between us?” Temple Master Iceberg asked frigidly .
“No, of course not . I just simply didn’t see the compass in the ring . ” Jian Wushuang answered in a low voice .
However, he sneered in the heart . “Show me respect? It was only because you wanted the compass . ”
“When you saw it wasn’t working, you even tried to threaten me . ”
“Shame on you, Temple Master Iceberg!”
