The young man's reaction was to force himself to remain calm and say, "Kill , and you won't know my purpose for coming here. Even if you figure out my identity, you won't know what I was trying to do. No one in the entire world will know, including the Qianyu Family mbers, because only I know about this matter."
Although the young man's words were negotiating terms, this statent was actually true, he wasn't lying. He had conducted this matter secretly, and no one else knew.
"Xiaoyao..." the young woman looked toward Xiaoyao. Unconsciously, she seed to be taking Xiaoyao as the lead. Of course, this was partly because she didn't particularly like using her brain. Though she didn't like thinking, her mind wasn't stupid, just lazy.
"Kill him." Xiaoyao said the sa thing.
"Alright." the young woman nodded without thinking much.
"Don't you really want to know what I ca here to do?" the young man said, sowhat anxiously. After all, he didn't want to die like this. Facing death wasn't as relaxed as when he had previously arranged sches.
"Family Head, won't you say anything?" Among the group of elders nearby, soone spoke up, asking the previous old man. Clearly, this old man was the Fang Family Head.
This was quite normal. From the beginning, this old man had been making decisions, so it wasn't strange that he was the Fang Family Head.
...
...
The Fang Family Head shook his head and said, "No need. We can just watch. This young man is not simple, he couldn't have failed to consider these things. Continue watching..."
At this mont, Xiaoyao spoke—
"It's not that I don't want to know, but there's no need to ask you. I already know what you were doing."
Xiaoyao looked at the young man with a smile that revealed nothing people wanted to see, showing no indication of what he ant.
"What are you saying?" the young man asked, sowhat disbelieving what he heard. No matter how capable Xiaoyao was, how could he possibly know his purpose? He hadn't seen anything just now.
"Your purpose for coming here must be related to the jade pendant in your hand, and this jade pendant can only serve its purpose here, aning the jade pendant's use is in the Fang Family Cetery. You had a lamp with you then, didn't you?" Xiaoyao looked at the young man and asked. Regarding this matter, he had initially questioned the person who captured the young man, having them reveal all details, so naturally he knew about this.
The young man's expression changed as he said, "A lamp is nothing, I was just using it for illumination."
"Illumination is indeed necessary, but why use such a bright lamp? Weren't you afraid of being discovered?" The young man's lamp was quite bright, which seed sowhat inappropriate under such circumstances. If Xiaoyao hadn't pointed this out, probably no one would have noticed, simply treating it as an illumination tool.
Xiaoyao continued, "Of course, you felt this lamp wouldn't attract others' attention because no one would think there was an important connection between this lamp and the jade pendant."
The young man's expression changed again, becoming increasingly unsightly. He looked at Xiaoyao with increasing shock. In his heart, he couldn't understand why things he felt could never be known were being dug out bit by bit by this young man before him.
"What connection could the lamp and jade pendant have?" the young woman asked, sowhat puzzled.
"Although I don't know what secret your jade pendant holds, I've worn this one of mine for twenty years, wouldn't I know what characteristics it has? This jade pendant can be seen through under lamplight, like this." Xiaoyao placed the jade pendant over a portable lamp device like a flashlight. The light passing through the jade pendant beca sowhat blue-green, with so shadows affected by carved patterns and other elents.
"The position where you were standing was a stone tablet, said to have been erected by a peerless genius from a thousand years ago, the only Martial God of that ti. He had once created a peerless martial technique, but it wasn't passed down. Looking at today's events, he should have passed down this martial technique, but used a rather secretive thod. I think this is also the secret of your jade pendant." Xiaoyao said.
"Yes, this jade pendant was just an ordinary jade pendant in our ancestor's hands. Only after it was passed to that peerless genius did it gain this secret. It has always been passed down among us, but it's just a martial technique, not many people put much effort into deciphering it," the Fang Family Head said. For the Fang family, being able to cultivate other martial techniques well was already good enough. A Martial God's technique wouldn't necessarily bring people to the Martial God realm.
Moreover, the Fang family had produced several Martial Gods, each breaking through using their own family's techniques and thods. None had ever relied on techniques created by Martial Gods. At the sa ti, techniques from other Martial Gods were also left behind and could be studied and referenced.
So why would the Qianyu Family want this technique? Like the Fang family, they shouldn't take risks for this.
"I think this martial technique might not be simple, it's exactly what they need. Or perhaps this isn't simply a martial technique at all. Calling it a martial technique is just based on your legends, but what it actually is, no one currently knows," Xiaoyao said.
Indeed, the matter of it being a martial technique was only legend. No one had actually seen it. People just felt that since that peerless genius had created a martial technique, what he wanted to pass down must be that technique and nothing else.
"You're quite right, but I don't understand what this has to do with the stone tablet," the young woman said.
"There's a writing thod called concealnt technique, which hides the words one truly wants to express within an article that seems aningless. With this writing thod, even just one article can express many things. You'll understand when you go look later. Before that, kill this person, there's nothing to discuss." Xiaoyao still hadn't forgotten about the young man's existence and reminded the young woman.
"Who exactly are you? Why do you know so much? I, Qianyu Yulou, have been clever all my life, but I never expected to capsize in a gutter. I'm not reconciled." The young man revealed his na. At this point, hiding had no aning since everything had already been discovered. What was left to conceal?
Moreover, he was about to die. He could sense it, no one opposed Xiaoyao's opinion, all tacitly agreeing to this matter.
In fact, if it were him, he would do the sa. The Qianyu Family had so Emperor Level martial artists, but like all other sects, Emperor Level martial artists were very rare. In the entire continent, excluding the Demon Cult, there were only two to three hundred. Small sects had none at all, while large sects having ten or so would already be exceptional.
As for the Qianyu Family, they were a major sect in terms of strength with eleven Emperor Level martial artists. Killing one would directly reduce their number by nearly ten percent, a very significant proportion.
"Are you certain he's no longer useful?" the young woman asked.
"Certain." Xiaoyao nodded.
"Hey you, co kill him. I don't want to get bloody, and my strength is a bit lacking, killing him would be troubleso," the young woman pointed to one of the people. This person was one of the Fang family's top experts, already at Emperor Level peak. Killing an early Emperor Level opponent was simple, especially one under restrictions.
The young woman had been able to fight the young man one-on-one earlier only because the opponent was restricted, not because her strength truly exceeded this young man's.
"Yes, Young Miss." the person replied very respectfully, then attacked without any hesitation or rcy.
Without suspense, after the young man struggled for a few moves, his heart was shattered by that person, with no possibility of survival. His eyes still held unwillingness, that kind of resentnt was sowhat chilling.
Xiaoyao smiled slightly and said, "Don't bla fate, and don't bla . When scheming against others, you must be prepared to be sched against. Moreover, when walking in this martial world, you must also be prepared to die."
That young man closed his eyes forever with such unwillingness and resentnt. He wished he could do it over again, then he would definitely kill Xiaoyao first instead of sparing him.
He had calculated everything, factoring in the entire Fang family's behavior to create a plan that should have had almost no problems. But in the end, it was still that saying, human calculations can't match heaven's calculations. Xiaoyao, who shouldn't have been involved, stuck his foot in and changed everything.
Sotis worldly affairs are like this, you can calculate all conditions, but due to a tiny fluctuation, the matter begins heading in directions you could never calculate.
There was another point, this Qianyu Yulou was too overconfident and too unwilling to trust others. This matter could actually have been done by others, which wouldn't have put him in deep danger. But he didn't do this because he felt his plan couldn't go wrong, and because he didn't want others to know this secret.
No wonder he didn't want others to know this secret. Soon Xiaoyao revealed this secret, the concealnt technique on that stone tablet recorded a complete set of martial arts and techniques, from internal arts to external arts, then to martial techniques and movent skills. It was extrely powerful. For the Fang family, this was a good thing, another set of martial arts and techniques that could give Fang family disciples a new path.
So people couldn't progress on other paths but could on another. This directly led to an increased proportion of experts appearing in the Fang family, securing the Fang family's position as the foremost family.
During this process, the Fang family people once again saw Xiaoyao's miraculous nature. Even with tools in hand and knowing this thod, they were sowhat at a loss with this concealnt technique. Even afterward, when they tried, they discovered the martial arts they wrote out were incomplete, they didn't know how Xiaoyao had done it.
Soone had asked about this, and Xiaoyao's answer was, "Your literary foundation isn't deep enough, read more books."
Because of this, Xiaoyao stayed at the Fang family for several days. In the Fang family ancestral hall's personal biographies, he found life records about Fang Chunxue, everything the Fang family knew was recorded there.
