After Li Tianba and the other three were killed, the chains that held Ershania in place disappeared.
She stood there in a daze.
She had somehow survived.
Yuchi had not directed any of his power at her just now, but just by being present here, she had already experienced what it felt like to have a close brush with death.
She instantly realized that her so-called strength was simply a joke in front of this expert, a complete and utter joke.
“He’s too powerful! He should be one of the top-ranked people on the Earth rankings!”
There were three different rankings in the Black Heaven sect, namely the Heaven rankings, the Earth rankings, and the Mortal rankings.
The top-ranked combatant on the Heaven rankings was the sect master of the Black Heaven sect. No one knew exactly how strong he was, but he had definitely reached the Dao realm! Like Yuchi, he was able to annihilate a person with a flip of his hand.
It was also because of his strength that the Black Heaven sect was able to suppress everyone in this region, making it relatively peaceful.
Those at the peak of the mortal rankings, like Li Tianba and the others, would make a name for themselves within this region. As long as they kept a relatively low profile and did not do anything stupid, they would relatively safe.
Those on the Earth rankings were obviously a level higher than those on the mortal rankings. Those on the Earth rankings were basically considered powerhouses of their respective races, and were capable of moving around more freely and openly, without worry of being targeted by the other races.
For example, the strongest human on the Earth rankings could roam this region unfettered. His strength was extremely terrifying! No one would dare to target him. Rather, people would fear being targeted by him.
To Ershania, Yuchi was as strong as that person.
“It’s no wonder he can appear out here alone without any teammates.”
“He’s so strong that he no longer needs anyone’s help!”
“Indeed, if something can be accomplished by yourself, there’s no need to rely on people who can betray you at the drop of a hat.”
Ershania instantly developed a strong sense of admiration for Yuchi.
If Yuchi had not killed these four people at the critical moment, then her fate would have been quite tragic. She would have definitely died a humiliating death.
“If I meet this Senior again in the future, I’ll definitely express my gratitude.”
She had already memorized Yuchi’s appearance.
She was preparing to leave and return to the Black Heaven sect.
Even though she had failed to get her hands on the treasure, given the circumstances, it was already very fortunate that she had even survived.
However, she was also quite curious about one thing.
“What happened in the cave?”
“Why didn’t the treasure guardian attack you, Senior? What kind of treasure was it?”
Since the treasure guardian had been killed, there should not be any other dangers in the cave. It was time to go in and take a look.
After all, she had spent a lot of money on this treasure map.
She flew toward the cave. When her soft feet landed on the ground, the pair of wings on her back disappeared without a trace.
Ershania walked into the cave.
There were no traces of fighting in the cave.
Moreover, the cave itself was not very big, so if Yuchi walked in, the treasure guardian would definitely be able to discover him. In that case, why did the treasure guardian not attack Yuchi?
When she got closer to the back of the cave, she suddenly sensed a very terrifying aura in front of her.
Ershania wanted to escape, but it was too late.
She could already see another extremely powerful treasure guardian walking toward her.
‘I’m finished!’
‘This treasure was actually protected by two treasure guardians?!’
This was an outcome that she had never expected.
Before she could attack and try to escape, the treasure guardian glanced at her and walked out of the cave.
It was obvious that it had no intention of fighting her.
In addition, the treasure guardian also said something.
“You don’t need to go in. The treasure has already been destroyed by that senior.”
“Don’t dream of taking revenge on that senior.”
“When that senior showed up, neither of us dared to attack him. We could only watch as he calmly walked past us.”
“I advise you to give up, elven woman.”
After saying that, the treasure guardian left in a depressed mood.
This time, it had truly suffered a rather miserable blow.
His will to fight had been completely crushed. The difference was too great. It was not something that could be bridged by using effort!
Yuchi was too terrifying!
‘Sigh, I should find a place to retire and relax.’
Ershania was speechless.
Her face was filled with shock!
So it was not that the two treasure guardians had not seen Senior. They had just been too terrified to attack him after sensing how powerful he was.
Unbelievably, this was the truth!
‘In that case, Senior, you’re not on the Earth rankings, are you?’
From her perspective, he might be someone on the Heaven rankings.
Ershania did not dare to speculate…
As for what the treasure guardian said about the real treasure being destroyed by Senior?
Ershania did not believe it.
The moment the treasure appeared, the ground shook and the mountains trembled. This treasure had to be very powerful. Even if Senior did not need to use it himself, he could still sell it in the city for a very high price.
She hastened her steps.
However, when she saw the two broken pieces of the sword on the ground, she held it in her hands and felt sad.
“The treasures I cherish are just like toys in Senior’s eyes?”
Ershania was mind blown.
This was not something that ordinary humans or elves could accept.
She had risked her life to get this treasure, but in the end, she discovered that this treasure was like a toy in the eyes of others.
At this moment, she felt very despondent.
She had spent a lot of money on this treasure map. Although that senior appeared here, there was no way he would have stooped to following her. That was unthinkable.
“I’m starting to understand Senior’s attitude towards me just now.”
“To him, I was probably no different to the flowers and plants one might find by the roadside.”
She knelt on the ground, holding the broken sword pieces in her left hand and right hand.
She bent over and tears started to flow down her face.
The war between the myriad races was a cruel one, and if an elven woman like her wanted to survive in this chaotic world, she would need to put in a lot of effort.
Yet sometimes one’s efforts would go unrewarded.
“Sigh.”
“If Senior had taken pity on me, I wouldn’t need to run around like this.”
“Who am I kidding? He doesn’t even want or need my gratitude anyway.”
