Chapter 46 - Outside the Thousand Autumn Valley

“Tianjue Sect Master… What do you mean?”

The group of people felt a little dazed when they saw the gray-robed man’s reaction.

Facing everyone’s gazes, the Tianjue Sect Master appeared unperturbed.

“Everyone should know very well that the cultivation technique of the royal family is not easily taught to outsiders. I am not of the royal bloodline. It is not that easy… to obtain a drop of royal blood.”

He smiled casually, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. “Moreover, practicing the Dragon Vein Resonance Technique using the blood of the royal family will taint one’s own strength. Even if one manages to remove it afterward, it will still require a lot of effort. Then there is the backlash of the secret technique itself…”

Of everyone present, who was not a sly old fox?

At this point, almost everyone realized what this was all about.

It seemed that the Tianjue Sect Master was hinting that he wanted benefits in return for his efforts!

“This old fellow is really not shy!”

“However, if we reject his request now, this fellow will definitely take the opportunity to refuse. Once we delay for too long and allow the Thousand Autumn Valley to have a chance to prepare their defensive tactics, it would not be beneficial for us in the end!”

For a moment, everyone’s expressions changed slightly. They all seemed to have already come to a decision.

On the surface, they appeared to have fully submitted themselves to Xuanwu Kingdom, but they still had their own plans in secret.

Everything in the world was about profit.

An example would be the reason why they had accepted the imperial court’s orders to join forces to kill off the Thousand Autumn Valley this time. On one hand, they wanted to put on a show for the imperial court to prevent their own sects from being targeted next.

On the other hand, if they could defeat the Thousand Autumn Valley quickly, even if most of the spoils of war naturally belonged to the Xuanwu imperial court, the imperial court would most likely turn a blind eye if they secretly plundered off some of the loot.

“Our fellow practitioner from Tianjue is right.”

After a long silence, a fat man among them said with a smile, “Since that’s the case, we can pay a small price. Fellow practitioner, please take a look over here. This is a Five Thunder Bead refined from the Thunder Stones of the Mystic World Battlefield. The power of its every strike is equivalent to the strength of a strike by a first level Dao Platform practitioner, and it’s filled with destructive power. The only drawback is that the person controlling the Five Thunder Pearl will also be affected by the impact.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine. A small flaw is nothing.”

The Sect Master of Tianjue Sect was all smiles as he took the purple bead. “What a valuable treasure this is. As long as one can withstand the impact of the Five Thunder Bead, it’s equivalent to having another expert helping out…”

At this moment, the others also understood what to do and followed suit.

“Fellow practitioner from Tianjue, please take a look. This is the Wind Fire Silver Grass from Mount Canglan. Even those in the Dao Platform Realm can use it to cleanse and strengthen their bodies.”

“This is a Heart Protecting Mirror that I asked a master in the royal city to forge a few days ago…”

“I don’t have many treasures, but this Three Revolutions Reversion Pill can heal injuries and increase one’s cultivation. It can be said to be a top-grade spirit pill.”

“Of course, of course…”

Finally, the Tianjue Sect Master could not help but smile widely.

In fact, he really wanted to maintain his cold expression. However, he was truly pleasantly surprised by the offerings from these old friends!

“We’re all old friends, but you’re still so polite. How can I not feel embarrassed?”

“#!%#&[email protected]”

You are the one who is the least embarrassed among us!

Everyone’s expressions darkened. However, they had already given their items away. With their status, it was beneath them to ask for the things to be returned.

The fat man who started all this had a really sullen look on his face. He was stunned for more than 10 seconds before he gritted his teeth with a pained expression and forced himself not to think about the Five Thunder Bead. “By the way, shouldn’t our fellow practitioner from Tianjue be carrying out the task now?”

“It’s my duty!”

The Tianjue Sect Master cupped his fists and spoke seriously.

Everyone resisted spitting on the spot.

At this moment, the Tianjue Sect Master waved his hand. Not long after, a thin young man carefully passed through the dense forest and finally arrived at the Five Elements Altar.

“Sect Master.” The young man knelt on one knee and bowed.

“In the original plan, the old Sword King of the Thousand Autumn Valley is deemed to have not much time left, so you are not needed. However, the situation has changed.” He paused slightly and then said without any hesitation, “There’s no time to lose. Do it now. With me around, you don’t have to worry about your life.”

The thin young man instantly reacted.

He did not show any hesitation, but immediately nodded and spoke resolutely.

“I am at the Sect Master’s command!”

“Very good, let’s begin now!”

As the Tianjue Sect Master finished speaking, the experts from the other forces could not help but feel faint. Wait a minute, this son of a b*tch was not going to carry out the task himself, but asking a young man in his sect to activate the royal family’s Dragon Vein Resonance Technique?

It also seemed that this young man was not even a disciple, but a lowly guard or even a slave!

They had given away so many items in view that the Tianjue Sect Master’s base cultivation level was the Dao Platform Realm. If a Dao Platform Realm cultivator’s Dao Platform was damaged, it would not be easy to repair it.

However…

If the person who was going to activate the secret technique was not the Tianjue Sect Master, why should they give him so much compensation?

“Wait! Fellow practitioner from Tianjue, this isn’t a good idea, is it?”

The fat middle-aged man could no longer hold it in.

Hearing this, the Tianjue Sect Master looked over and chuckled. “Fellow practitioners, don’t worry. This child was personally trained by me. Other than his cultivation being weaker, it’s no different from me using the Dragon Vein Resonance Technique personally.”

“But…”

“Time waits for no man. We must attack and kill everyone in the Thousand Autumn Valley as soon as possible. Shuang’er, do it now.”

The thin young man nodded and walked up to the altar quickly. Then, he closed his eyes and a mysterious aura slowly emitted from his body.

At the same time, a sharp sword intent surged, as if it was about to burst out of the youth’s body.

“What a powerful sword intent!” The fat middle-aged man could not help but feel impressed. Then, he shook his head regretfully. “This child’s sword intent has been contaminated by a strange force. That must be the royal blood of the royal family.”

He looked at the Tianjue Sect Master in puzzlement. “Fellow practitioner from Tianjue, although your sect does not specialize in sword cultivation, why do you want to waste this child’s talent and let him do such a thing?”

What he meant to say was that a good young talent was being wasted just like that.

If the youth was nurtured well, he might become an expert in the Ways of the Sword in the future!

The Sect Master of Tianjue Sect did not take it to heart. He smiled leisurely and said, “This child is the descendant of a sinner. His parents tried to assassinate me but failed. I spared his life only because of his talent.”

Everyone was taken aback. “So he’s the descendant of a sinner. If that’s the case, it’s even acceptable to kill his entire clan for this crime. Not only did you spare his life, but you also taught him cultivation. Your magnanimity is definitely not something that ordinary people have.”

At this moment, the thin young man suddenly opened his eyes and yelled out in a low voice.

“Found it!”
