As things had reached this point, Pavilion Master Yan no longer intended to keep up the pretense. He understood that further concealment was merely self-deception, and these people would never believe him anyway.
"This pavilion master did not capture that person to obtain that item. Rather, someone else wants it, and that person is someone neither this pavilion master nor any of the factions standing before me can afford to offend. I hope you all will use your brains and think carefully: is a treasure of that magnitude something forces like yours and mine can possibly hold onto?!" Pavilion Master Yan said coldly.
"Pavilion Master Yan, please don't get excited. We didn't come here to seize that treasure. It's just that such a treasure is one of a kind in all the heavens and earth, and we were simply curious to catch a glimpse of its glory. If Pavilion Master Yan would just bring it out so we could open our eyes, we certainly have no intention of taking it," the second elder of the Prajna Pavilion smiled gently, his expression so mild it seemed as though his words matched his true thoughts.
