Gods: Start with Goblins

. Luo Dan looked at everyone expressing their opinions, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He knew that although these people said nice things, they were definitely still obsessed with the Shenzangtu in their hearts.

However, this was also within his expectations.

He waved his hand gently, indicating that everyone could leave.

Everyone felt as if they had been pardoned, and hurriedly said goodbye and left.

They talked as they walked, some regretted that they did not have the chance to see the true appearance of the Shenzangtu, while others were glad that they were not involved in this possible dispute.

And Luo Dan stood there quietly, watching everyone leave.

In his heart, he was actually thinking about how to better protect this precious map of the divine treasure.

He knew that this blueprint was not only a guide to the treasure, but also a heavy responsibility.

Just as Luo Dan was about to leave, he suddenly sensed an unusual aura. He turned around abruptly and saw Elder Tianji standing not far away, looking at him solemnly.

"Elder Tianji, why haven't you left yet?" Luo Dan asked with some surprise.

Elder Tianji smiled bitterly and said, "I wanted to leave, but... Alas, I didn't expect to be blocked by them."

Luo Dan frowned when he heard this. He vaguely felt that things were not that simple. He quickly walked to Elder Tianji and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Why are they blocking you?"

Elder Tianji sighed and said, "It's all because of the Shenzang Map. They knew that I once had this map, so they wanted to come to me to see if they could get some clues from me or... make a copy."

Luo Dan was shocked when he heard this. He knew that the people from these sects would do anything to get the Shenzangtu. He looked at Elder Tianji and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Elder Tianji sneered and said, "Forget about it. I have already given this map to you, so I will never give it to anyone else. If they really dare to attack me, I will have no choice but to fight to the death."

Luo Dan nodded secretly when he heard this. He knew that although Elder Tianji looked a little cunning at ordinary times, he was still very courageous at critical moments. He looked at the people from the sect who had gathered around him and said coldly, "What do you want to do? Do you want to attack Elder Tianji?"

Upon hearing this, the people from the sects stopped and looked at each other. Although they coveted the Shenzangtu, they did not dare to attack Luo Dan and Elder Tianji easily. After all, these two were not easy to deal with. Once they were angered, the consequences would be disastrous.

One of the elders of the sect stepped forward and bowed to Elder Luo Dan and Elder Tian Ji, saying, "Lord Luo Dan, Elder Tian Ji, we have no ill intentions. It's just that... the Shenzang Map is too important to us. We hope that you can... draw a few copies for us. In this way, we can let you go and stop bothering you."

Hearing this, Luo Dan sneered and said, "Do you think that the Shenzangtu is so easy to copy? Besides, even if we can copy it, we will never give it to you. You'd better save your energy and stop daydreaming here."

Elder Tianji sneered and said, "You guys really have a good plan. Unfortunately, you made the wrong decision. Although I am not a big shot, I will not let you bully me. If you really dare to attack me, don't blame me for being rude."

When the people from the sects heard this, their faces changed. They knew that they would not get any benefit today. However, they were unwilling to give up. So, they began to discuss and try to find a way to get the Shenzangtu without offending Luo Dan and Elder Tianji.

However, Luo Dan and Elder Tian Ji did not give them this opportunity. They looked at each other, moved, and disappeared like a ghost. Only those people from the sect were left standing there in a daze.

Luo Dan and Elder Tianji rushed all the way and soon got out of the sight of the people from the sects. They found a secluded place and stopped.

"Elder Tianji, are you okay?" Luo Dan asked with concern.

Elder Tianji shook his head and said, "I'm fine. It's just... that map of the divine treasure, are you really going to look for it alone?"

Luo Dan was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "Yes. I know that this map of the divine treasure is both an opportunity and a challenge for me. I must go and find it myself to uncover its secrets. And... I can't let those people from the sect get this map."

Elder Tianji nodded upon hearing this and said, "Okay. Since you have made up your mind, I won't say anything more. But... you must be careful. The secret realm pointed out by the Shenzang Map must be full of dangers. You must protect yourself and don't let me worry."

Luo Dan felt warm at heart when he heard this. He knew that although Elder Tianji seemed a little unreliable at ordinary times, he still cared about him at critical moments. He looked at Elder Tianji and smiled, "Don't worry, I will be careful. Besides... I am not so easily defeated. Those people from the sect want to snatch the Shenzangtu from me, which is simply wishful thinking."

The two chatted for a while and then went their separate ways. Luo Dan knew that his next journey would be full of unknowns and dangers. However, he also knew that he had to face it all bravely. Because... he believed in himself, his strength and wisdom. And that map of the divine treasure would become an important treasure in his life, guiding him towards a more glorious future.

"We can't do anything. Luo Dan is too strong. We are no match for him. We can only target you. You are unlucky!" An elder of a sect shook his head helplessly, with a hint of unwillingness and helplessness in his tone. They originally thought that with the union of many sects, they could at least get a share from Luo Dan, but they didn't expect Luo Dan to be so strong that they had no chance at all. Elder Tianji was so angry when he heard this that he almost vomited blood. He clenched his fists, his nails digging deeply into his palms, as if to suppress the anger that was about to burst out. He widened his eyes and glared at the elders of the sect in front of him, his voice low and trembling: "You...you actually set your sights on me? I am Elder Tianji, how dare you be so presumptuous!"

"Elder Tianji, please don't be angry." The elder of another sect quickly explained, "We didn't mean to target you. It's just... that Shenzangtu is too important. We are really unwilling to give it up like this."

"You're not willing? Just come to me if you're not willing?" Elder Tianji shouted angrily, "Do you think I'm so easy to bully? I tell you, although I, Elder Tianji, don't usually care about worldly affairs, I'm not a soft persimmon that can be bullied by anyone!"

The elders of several sects looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment. They knew that although Elder Tianji looked mysterious, his strength should not be underestimated. Moreover, their behavior today was indeed a bit extreme, and they actually set their sights on Elder Tianji.

"Elder Tianji, please don't misunderstand." An elder from a sect quickly explained, "We are not here to cause trouble for you. We just want to know if you can tell us a little about the contents of the Shenzangtu? Or... or draw a copy for us? We promise that we will never leak it out."

"Humph! Do you think I'm so easy to fool?" Elder Tianji sneered, "I tell you, I have memorized all the contents of the Shenzangtu. If I divide it among several of your sects, won't my chances of finding it become even slimmer? Why should I help you?"

When the elders of several sects heard this, their faces changed. They didn't expect that Elder Tianji had already memorized the contents of the Shenzangtu. This made their already slim hope even slimmer.

"Elder Tianji, please don't be like this." An elder from a sect begged, "We really need that Shenzangtu. If you are willing to help us, we will be very grateful."

"Gratitude? I don't need your gratitude!" Elder Tianji gritted his teeth and said word by word, "I will never give you the Shenzangtu. You'd better forget about it. Let me give you the Shenzangtu? You are simply dreaming!"

His eyes flashed with unprecedented determination and resoluteness. Seeing Elder Tianji's resolute attitude, several elders of the sect knew that it would be fruitless to insist. They sighed helplessly and turned away.

Elder Tianji watched them leave, and an indescribable anger and helplessness surged in his heart. He knew that today's incident was only temporarily calmed down, and those people from the sect would never give up. They would definitely try every means to obtain the contents of the Shenzang Map.

Thinking of this, Elder Tianji couldn't help but frown. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his emotions. He knew that he had to stay calm and sober in order to deal with everything that might happen next.

So, he began to carefully recall every detail and clue on the Shenzang Map. He wanted to deeply imprint this information in his mind to ensure that he would not forget any detail. At the same time, he was also thinking about how to deal with the threats and provocations from those sects.

He knew that this would be a long and difficult battle. However, he also believed in his own strength and wisdom. He believed that as long as he persisted, he would be able to find the treasure indicated by the Divine Map and protect the glory and dignity that belonged to him.

"If that's the case, you can't blame us for being merciless. Who told you to have such a treasure and not tell us?" An elder of a sect sneered, his eyes flashing with greed. He stared at Elder Tianji, as if he had seen the Shenzangtu in his hands.

"That's right, old man Tianji, no matter how powerful you are, you can't be a match for so many of us." Another elder from another sect echoed, his voice full of threats and provocations, "I advise you to hand over the Shenzang Map obediently, so as to avoid physical pain."

"Anyway, there is no way you can get there with your own ability! So why not draw it for us and we can all work together to create it!" Another elder from the sect spoke, with a hint of temptation in his tone, trying to persuade Elder Tianji to give up resistance.

Elder Tianji was so angry that his face turned blue when he heard what they said, as if he was going to vomit blood. He clenched his fists tightly, digging his nails deep into his palms, trying to suppress the anger and humiliation in his heart. He stared at the elders in front of him with wide eyes, and said in a low and trembling voice: "You...you are simply being arrogant! Although I, Elder Tianji, am not talented, I will not let you bully me!"

"Bullying? Humph! We didn't say that." An elder of a sect sneered, "We just want to get the map of the sacred treasure. If you are willing to cooperate, we will naturally not embarrass you."

"Cooperation? You are forcing me!" Elder Tianji shouted angrily, "I tell you, that Shenzangtu is my treasure, Elder Tianji, and I will never give it to you!"

When the elders of several sects heard this, their faces changed. They didn't expect that Elder Tianji would reject their request so firmly. They looked at each other, and anger surged in their hearts.

"Old Tianji, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit!" an elder of a sect shouted angrily, "With so many of us, can't we subdue you alone?"

"Subdue me? Just try!" Elder Tianji gritted his teeth, his body shook, and a powerful aura emanated from him. He widened his eyes and glared at the elders in front of him, as if he wanted to devour them all.

The elders of several sects felt the powerful aura emanating from Elder Tianji, and they couldn't help but feel a little afraid. However, they also knew that if they couldn't get the Shenzangtu today, all their previous efforts would be in vain.

So, they looked at each other and showed their weapons. For a moment, swords flashed and murderous intent filled the air. They surrounded Elder Tianji and formed a huge encirclement.

Elder Tianji saw the actions of several sect elders, and he felt an indescribable anger and humiliation in his heart. He clenched his fists, digging his nails deep into his palms, as if to suppress the anger that was about to burst out. He knew that a fierce battle was unavoidable today.

"Come on! I, Elder Tianji, am not afraid of a fight!" He shouted angrily, and rushed towards several elders of the sect like a ghost. For a moment, swords flashed and killing sounds shook the sky. The two sides started a fierce battle.

Although Elder Tianji was old, he was still very powerful. He held a long sword in his hand, and his figure was graceful, like dancing. Each sword contained a powerful force, making it difficult for several sect elders to resist.

However, several sect elders were no ordinary people. They each displayed their unique skills and launched a fierce battle with Elder Tianji. (End of this chapter)
