Betrayal

Long Tian stood there, his eyes fixed on the ring in his hand. The Seven-Form Pagoda, a unique artifact, was now in his possession.

Its true purpose remained a mystery, yet one thing was certain – with this item, he could extract someone's martial spirit.

Carefully, he opened the ring, and a palm-sized pagoda with seven levels floated in the air, emitting a soft blue glow.

Long Tian raised his hand, causing the pagoda to hover delicately above his palm.

For now, its function was limited to healing minor ailments related to cultivation. But in his hand, this will become an incredibly rare item.

"Oh, it's exquisite, Long Tian. Clearly, it's no ordinary item, is it?" Li Yue'er inquired, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"Indeed, this is an invaluable treasure once owned by the Ning family. But now, it belongs to me," Long Tian replied, his lips curling into a confident smirk.
