Chapter 163: I'm Here—None of You Will Take Her

"How could this happen?"

The old man furrowed his brow and asked bewilderedly.

By logic, when he crushed the Jade Pendant, it should immediately trigger the mechanism here.

The explosive force would easily tear those three guys around into pieces.

"Is this what you're looking for?"

Li Xian stepped out from the side, holding a light orb in his hand.

"You..."

The old man's pupils contracted, instinctively stepping half a step back.

His feet accidentally dipped into the icy cold water on the lake surface.

"The light orb, huh? This thing is quite valuable! Old man, you really went for broke. If I hadn't found it beforehand, we'd all be in danger."

Li Xian adjusted his glasses and said faintly.

The old man's face turned ashen, his gaze flickering between shadow and light.

"What's going on with you guys? Why haven't you gotten the Spiritual Jade yet?"

Li Xian ignored the old man across, turning his head to ask Lady Hua.
