"Just bring the magic treasure and we will let you and your friend leave in one piece." The leading male cultivator said calmly. The smug and relaxed expression on his face told everyone that he was not in a rush to collect the item.

His bearing was that of arrogance and pride. His magic ship looked like it was crafted from the best magic wood and by the best artisans. Just the design alone spoke of luxury that made envy rise in Grey's heart.

'He must be a cultivator of great importance if he comes from a sect or academy, or he might also be the son of a powerful elder. Any which way I put it, he must have some considerable background. Those people behind him must be his followers. They must be trying to get his attention to obtain benefits.' Grey quickly deduced and quickly weaved a plan in his head.

He was not afraid of offending a sect, of a powerhouse. He had checked and found that no connection could be made with the outside world. If anything happened to the young cultivator and his band of followers, no one would be able to trace it back to him anyway.

And if they did, his appearance was being concealed by mysterious cloak. He had nothing to fear, and a lot to gain. So be immediately began hatching his plan.

"I told you not to get it now! I want to use it when i want to break through to the next realm. You getting it this early has made it useless for the time being." Grey said with a look of discontent.

The male cultivator who was fast approaching listened to this in anger. Grey had pretended as if he hadn't heard any of the previous words he had said.

'What is he talking about? Does he truly know about the treasure that I have found? That is impossible! I made sure I told no one.' The female cultivator said inwardly. She was so stunned by Grey's words that she even forgot to reply.

Just standing there dumbly like she was made of wood. The magic treasure she had found was a sea fruit that had the same qualities as a Foundation Establishment pill.

Just a bit of it could improve your chances of successfully entering Foundation Establishment. She had been extremely fortunate to obtain such a rare treasure only a few days after her arrival in the Pocket Dimension.

But her luck soon turned around when she couldn't find a container that could seal the aura of the sea fruit.

The proud cultivator had sensed it's profound aura and immediately sought after the fruit for himself. Which resulted in a long and arduous chase until she encountered Grey.

Inwardly, Grey snorted but kept his expression to discontent, then angry. "Quick, give it to me!" He said with his hand stretched out.

The female cultivator paused right there. Her expression was solemn. Grey seeing this, knew that she was thinking about what to do.

"If you don't want to give me, you can keep it! Or give it to those guys-" he pointed to the incoming male cultivators.

'Now, I have removed myself from all this trouble. The male cultivators would no longer be alert against me after my words. They will think that i no longer want the treasure anymore.' Greg said inwardly.

"Wait-" the female cultivator began but Grey pretended to ignore her words and move his ship away from hers. He nodded curtly at the four male cultivators who were confused, but seeing that he was not their enemy, they let him pass without trouble.

The beautiful female cultivator looked on in shock as Grey subtly extracted himself from this matter. Now he pinned the entire thing on her, well, it had always been on her anyways.

"Wait, we are from the same sect! You don't have to give up on it. I can give you when we get back!" Her voice was loud enough to reach Grey who had already gone some distance away.

'This lady is very shrewd! She doesn't even want to let me go. Forcefully pulling me into this matter that I don't want to get involved with...' A sharp cold glint flashed in Grey's eyes.

When the female cultivator saw that cold glint, she instinctively shuddered. As if she was standing in the face of a terrifying beast that would devour her whole.

Grey's calm yet collected aura temporarily made the male cultivators pause in thought. They were clearly deciding whether to believe the female cultivator and attack Grey, or ignore her words.

'A-anyways, I would like to see how you'll get out of this one!' The female cultivator said inwardly. Despite her instinctive fear towards Grey, she would not let this opportunity go pass.

The female cultivator then let out a soft smile.

'You warranted for this...'

"Okay, pass me the treasure." Grey said with his hand outstretched. The female cultivator was put in a tight spot. Not knowing if whether to give him or lie again.

'Fuck it, let's do it.' Seeing the reluctant expression on her face, Grey decide on his next action.

His hand was suddenly covered by purple with a dark gold aura surrounding it, which condensed into a faint illusionary purple sword.

A mysterious and domineering aura suddenly burst forth from Grey. A giant purple sword over ten meters long appeared over his head. Without a change in expression, Grey decisively slashed down.

The target of his slash was the female cultivator. The female cultivator, instinctively tried to run, but soon remembered she was on the boundless river with no where to run.

Gritting her teeth, she made a decision despite her shock and brought out a green talisman. With a single thought, she injected spirit energy into the talisman and a barrier of green light suddenly covered her.

Grey's sword slash made of sword light came down on her shortly. A loud bang rang out. The female cultivator's magic ship was reduced to splinters.

But she appeared some distance in the air. The green barrier of light had dimmed visibly. The female coughed a mouthful of blood while she staggered backwards in midair.

Her expression was aghast and her face was pale. She looked at Grey in horror. The green talisman was a treasure she had bought from a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

This talisman will create a barrier of green light around the person who injected spirit energy into it. She estimated the cultivator to be at the middle stages of Foundation Establishment, that meant that the defense of the barrier would be at the middle stages of Foundation Establishment, yet Grey's single attack had managed to make the barrier turn dim despite it being the first time being used.

Not only that, but remnants of the purple sword slash bypassed the barrier and injured her. Making her fall back while coughing out mouthfuls of blood.

The four male cultivators had an expression of shock on their faces. The leading male cultivator had a pensive look on his face.

The female cultivator looked miserable at this moment. She quickly brought out several medicinal pills to swallow. She looked at Grey with terror.
