Martin stepped forward and said to Darryl seriously, "Sect Master Darby, I know you despise my behavior, but let's be honest, which of us is not here to search for the treasures?
"This place has been hidden for so many years, and we're lucky to have found it. Furthermore, all the sects have suffered significant casualties to obtain the Spirit of the Heavenly Secret. I am afraid they will be upset if you do not hand it over.
"So, considering the alliance between the Three Major Sects for so many years, please do me a favor and hand over the Spirit of the Heavenly Secret. It is for the benefit of all the sects here today."
Martin spoke with sincerity, but there was a hint of cunningness in his eyes.
Martin, like Adam, did not do so for the sects present. Instead, his ultimate goal was to obtain the Spirit of the Heavenly Secret.
The mysterious cultivation methods inherited by the Heavenly Secret Palace for a few thousand years were contained in the Spirit of the Heavenly Secret. One would only need to master one of the methods to excel within the community and rule the Cryolet Continent.
Darryl's eyes blazed with rage, and he quickly saw through Martin's deception. He laughed. "Enough. Stop your pretense. I know exactly what you are thinking.
"I'm telling you now—I will not hand the Spirit of the Heavenly Secret to any of you."
Darryl stepped forward slowly and handed Lindsey the Spirit of the Heavenly Secret. He said solemnly, "Miss, please hold this. Remember, these are the things your forefathers worked hard to pass to you. You must take good care of it and avoid being deceived by unscrupulous people."
Darryl appeared to be reminding Lindsey, but he was actually mocking Adam, Martin, and the others.
"Hmm!"
Lindsey nodded and said, "I will." Then, she kept the Spirit of the Heavenly Secret with her.
'F*ck!'
When they saw that, the elites of each sect were enraged.
'Darryl had crossed the line! It's fine if he doesn't want to give us the Spirit of the Heavenly Secret. But, why did he insult us?'
At that moment, Martin's face turned solemn. 'F*ck. Darryl is such an idiot. I've humbled myself to negotiate with him. He doesn't even give a sh*t.'
