Nonetheless, even if they wanted to refuse, they had to think of a way out. She even knew that they had a Treasure Valley, which was quite terrifying to him. They didn’t know how she knew such a place existed. In the past, none of their enemies had known of its existence. If those entities had known, a bloody disaster would have befallen their clan a long time ago.
They swallowed hard. How in the world did she know? They wanted to silence her, but they hesitated when they sensed the murderous intent and cold breaths from her companions. If they could kill these intruders, they could obtain the endless treasures they carried and wouldn’t have to worry about the secret of their place being leaked.
On the contrary, they were not sure if they could successfully kill these intruders. If they failed, they didn’t dare to imagine the consequences.
Shenlian Yingyue saw through their doubt and said in a tone as light as a falling feather, "I won’t tell this secret to anyone. No one knows that on the west side of your region, a hundred feet away from the Sunfire Crystal Valley, at the place where a crystal grass grows, there is an entrance to your inheritance grounds and also your Treasure Valley."
Threat! Such a naked threat! She even knew the exact location of their hidden place, which they had guarded for thousands of years.
"Y-You people, how the hell did you know?" The Glass Lizard Ancestor’s face turned pale.
All the good impressions they had just developed for her instantly vanished. It turned out that she had already decided their fate the moment she stepped foot here. Whether they chose to refuse or accept her, she would deal with them either way.
Shenlian Yingyue felt the warmth of Xie Xie’s hand holding hers. She smiled at him, ignoring the cold gazes from the Glass Lizards. She didn’t bother explaining anything further. Kindness and sincerity alone were not enough to survive in this cruel world, where everyone sought to swallow benefits from each other.
Even if she sincerely wanted to be friends with them, she couldn’t show it openly. She didn’t want others to take advantage of her kindness, and she didn’t want to be betrayed. That one betrayal by the person she had saved at Luminous Moon Palace had been more than enough to teach her a lesson.
She made eye contact with Xie Xie and Xiao Mei, and her expression returned to neutral. Without replying to the Glass Lizard Ancestor’s question, she asked in return, "So what’s your choice?"
In fact, it was thanks to Xie Xie’s ability to control millions of golden baby scorpions and Xiao Mei’s skill in instructing the Spirit Bees to work alongside them. With their combined numbers and abilities, they had quickly patrolled and checked the surroundings of this region in a short period of time.
The golden baby scorpions were responsible for detecting underground dangers, while the Spirit Bees inspected threats in the air.
The Glass Lizard Ancestor took a deep breath and asked for a short period of time to discuss the situation with his elders and clan members.
Shenlian Yingyue wasn’t in a hurry to press them. She found a spot to sit and meditate while her companions stood nearby to guard and watch the area. Some of them had already separated to search for treasures in the nearby surroundings.
After twenty minutes, the Glass Lizard Ancestor and the others returned to her.
Shenlian Yingyue nodded calmly after hearing their decision. When no one was looking, she let out a mysterious smile, as if she had already guessed their choice.
"You guys, go and take care of the mess. Elders, you come with me to welcome our ally." The Glass Lizard Ancestor addressed his clan members, and they all respectfully bowed before departing.
