Hearing "Treasure Mirror of Haoyue"
With these three words, Patriarch Zhen's legs couldn't help but tremble.
For thousands of years, the Treasure Mirror of Haoyue had been like a talisman of death, anyone who touched it would die, and those who missed it would die.
Because of it, there were endless conflicts in the martial arts world, and countless cultivators died because of it.
It had been difficult for the peace and prosperity for dozens of years now, but the Treasure Mirror of Haoyue had become taboo to everyone.
It could also be said that the secret behind it had become a taboo in the world of the Nine Prefectures.
No one dared to mention it, and no one dared to covet it.
Once there was one, it would definitely cause all the great sects in the martial arts world to launch a group attack.
Forget about the Zhen Family, which was a small family that was an influential in the Tong Zhou City, even if the eight large families wanted to covet it, it would bring about a calamity within half a day.
Patriarch Zhen sat dejectedly on his chair as he thought back to all that had happened in the past half year.
Long before Zhen Shuai met with trouble, someone had approached him and told him that they wanted to buy the Zhen Clan's heirloom, the "Poria Cocos Immortal Grass".
In Patriarch Zhen's eyes, this was just a joke.
In his heart, the Poria Cocos Spirit Grass was a priceless treasure that had been passed down for several lifetimes, how could he buy it with money?
But before he could say anything, the person took out a small box and waved it in front of him.
In his confusion, he saw the man slowly open the box, revealing the contents within.
It was an extremely noble piece of jade.
The texture was fine and the texture was warm.
The moment the box was opened, a ray of light rushed up to the ceiling, and a dark green luster immediately flickered in the eyes of Patriarch Zhen.
"What kind of jade is this? It actually has such a texture! "
This was the question Patriarch Zhen asked in shock after seeing the jade.
But that person's reply, although it was only a light word, it caused Patriarch Zhen to stagger and almost faint from shock.
His answer was: "Moon Read."
The Moon Read was a record of the "Treasure Mirror of Haoyue" by the Dao Sect's Ancestor, Shu He, before he passed away in meditation.
The jade wall was divided into six parts.
Twenty-four years ago, on the eve of the extermination of the demon territory, the Haoyue Formation was broken and the location of the dark fluorescent sword that broke out of the formation was still unknown.
At the same time, the six Moon Read s also disappeared.
But he didn't expect that one of the pieces would appear in front of him so naked today, twenty-four years later. How could he not be shocked?
In a few breaths time, Patriarch Zhen was attracted by this piece of Moon Read and agreed without hesitation.
Just as he was about to use the Poria Cocos Immortal Grass to make a deal on the spot, that person brought up a condition that made him extremely surprised.
That was to have him report to the Nine Prefectures and sell the Poria Cocos Immortal Grass as an auction.
On the other hand, he would bring the Moon Read with him to the auction to trade with her that day.
Patriarch Zhen was immediately suspicious.
But when he continued to ask, the man did not answer.
Someone who had something like the Moon Read must have a powerful backing.
Since he couldn't say it out loud, he didn't want to ask anymore.
With his head burning with passion, the Patriarch Zhen did as he was told without hesitation.
However, what he did not expect was that the Moon Read was carried onto the auction stage on the first day of the auction, which was completely inconsistent with what that person said before.
Furthermore, at that time Lan Yin had raised the auction price without any hesitation, catching the Patriarch Zhen off guard, which made him suspect that he had been tricked by that person.
I don't know why he did it, but there must have been a conspiracy.
In addition, his eldest son had also died because of this.
Thus, under his extreme sorrow, the Patriarch Zhen used a unique technique to get a fake Poria Cocos Immortal Grass.
As long as the master cultivator wasn't present, he could use this kind of deceptive trick to deceive people.
As for the matter of him being exposed later, he believed that the moment the Poria Cocos Immortal Grass left the Ying Xian House, there would be people fighting over it.
In the competition, anything could happen.
Even if someone found out that the Poria Cocos Spirit Grass was a fake and suspected him, he would have a way to argue.
Who dared to say that this thing wasn't in the competition?
As for what happened in Ying Xian House that day, the Patriarch Zhen did not know.
He had originally thought that no one would know of his little scheme, but he didn't expect that all of this would be in the hands of this Shakyamuni Yan.
Not only that, he even called that "Moon Read".
The fella that tricked him into auctioning the Poria Cocos Immortal Grass was caught.
The more Patriarch Zhen thought about it, the more surprised he became.
This sovereign guesses, you are probably interested in dark fluorescent sword, right? Do you think what I said was right, Patriarch Zhen? "
The cold laughter of Yan Fa Jun resounded once again, startling Patriarch Zhen, causing him to break out in cold sweat. His legs unconsciously trembled, and he looked like he was about to fall to the ground from the seat.
"Hahahaha!" Patriarch Zhen, do not panic. To be honest, this noble one is also interested in dark fluorescent sword. Legend has it that the dark fluorescent sword was created by the ancient demonic beast Candle Sunlight, and its power could split heaven and earth. There is a saying to this effect. " The one who obtains the dark fluorescent sword will rule the world. For example, who doesn't want to dominate the Nine Prefectures and rule the world on their own? "
"However, This Sovereign is an exception. Although this sovereign is interested in dark fluorescent sword, I am not interested in dominating the Nine Prefectures. If Patriarch Zhen is willing, you can definitely cooperate with me. This sovereign guarantees that within five years, the positions of the eight great families will belong to the Tong Zhou's Zhen family. In ten years, how hard would it be to help you dominate the Nine Prefectures? As for this piece of Moon Read, so what if Patriarch Zhen is willing to give it to you? I guess with this, the other four won't be too far off. "
The Yama threw him an olive branch.
Patriarch Zhen could not believe his ears.
He didn't even notice that Yama said four pieces, not the other five.
His current thoughts were completely led away by Yan Fa Jun as he pondered over his words.
To force the Zhen Clan into the top eight clans in five years, what kind of promise was that?
Even the smallest city in the Nine Prefectures had 130 cities and the population was over 90 million people.
According to conservative estimates, of the clans and gangs, even if there weren't a thousand, there were at least a hundred.
There are so many forces in a single state.
From this, it could be seen how powerful of a force it was to be ranked within the eight great clans of the Nine Provinces.
"I wonder if Shakyamuni Yan can tell me why he is cooperating with this old man? Although this old man has a certain amount of power in the Tong Zhou City, but throughout the entire Nine Prefectures, this little power is probably not enough. Furthermore, given Darknorth Palace's strength, as long as they were willing to speak out, there was no lack of clans willing to cooperate with Shakyamuni Yan. I wonder why you chose this old one? "
"You don't have to know the reason. You only need to know that working with this sovereign is your best choice. I can even avenge your son! With your current strength, if you want to take revenge, even if Pixia Palace does not have a leader, it is not something you can go against! If you do not have this sovereign's help, the day of your revenge will be far away. "
"Such a rich temptation, I'm afraid there must be some additional conditions, right?"
Patriarch Zhen was not stupid, a pie would never fall from the sky for no reason.
"Hahahaha." There was indeed an additional condition. "As long as you agree …"
"Just tell me what you want!"
"Everyone knows that the Poria Cocos Immortal Grass is the inherited treasure of the Zhen Clan of the Tong Zhou. But who would have known that the real family heirloom was not the Poria Cocos Immortal Grass, but … "
After saying that, Yan Fa Jun turned silent as he stared at Patriarch Zhen.
His sharp gaze made Patriarch Zhen shiver, but what made his hair stand on end was what he said.
"That's enough!"
"This sovereign can give you time to consider."
After he finished speaking, he said to Shen Tu: "Your body has already reached the end, and can no longer be used."
He then looked at the kneeling man and sneered, "Use his!"
Shen Tu bowed, "But on Your Majesty's decision!"
Seeing this, that person could no longer hold it in. His eyes flashed with incomparable horror.
His hands trembled as he pointed at the two people behind the curtain, "What are you doing to me?! Do you know who I am?! "You guys dare …"
Without waiting for him to finish roaring, Shakyamuni pointed his finger forward, and a red streak of profound energy shot out like lightning. It condensed into a large hand in the air and grabbed that person's neck!
Being choked from the strangling, he used his last bit of resistance to look at Patriarch Zhen and pleaded, "Patriarch Zhen, quickly save me! As long as you save me, I'll tell you everything you want to know. There's also that Moon Read, I also … "Ahh!"
Yan Fa Jun said flatly: "That little trick of yours is not even worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning at all!"
As they spoke, seven more streaks of profound energy shot over; this time they directly shot into the seven holes.
Immediately after, a layer of red membrane emerged from the man's body, gradually expanding before rising into the air.
If you looked carefully, within the light barrier formed by the red profound energy, there was a white transparent floating object bumping around inside, as if it wanted to break out of the confinement and escape into the distance.
However, would Yama give him that chance?
With a gentle pinch with both fingers, the transparent floating object instantly turned into a cloud of dust and disappeared.
When Patriarch Zhen saw this scene, he broke out in cold sweat.
It flowed down.
He was absolutely not mistaken. That transparent object was actually that person's soul.
Just like that, his soul was separated from his body by Yan Fa Jun. What kind of terrifying ability was this!
Before he could finish digesting the shocking scene, a few more strands of profound energy shot into Shen Tu's body.
Immediately after, Shen Tu's body started to shake violently, his green skin started to crack, forming fish-like scars.
The scar appeared extremely faint at first, but it gradually became more obvious and its color began to darken as Yan Fa Jun cast the spell.
In just a few moments, the scars all over his body were like fish scales falling off due to external forces.
Patriarch Zhen clearly saw that the instant all the scars were shed, Shen Tu's soul was also pulled out by Yan Fa Jun using his own mana.
Different from before, this time, Shen Tu's soul was directly sucked into that person's body.
In a moment, that body's originally lifeless eyes suddenly had a touch of charm.
The man then knelt down on one knee, and cupped his fists to the curtain, "Thank you for your kindness, Shen Tu will be forever grateful."
Seeing this, Patriarch Zhen almost puked out his heart.
Just what kind of demonic technique was this to achieve such an evil technique that would make it difficult for one's soul to devour!
"Get up! From today onwards, you will be the one to exterminate the Demon Lord Shen Tu! You are him! He is you! This body will last you thirty years! He would not need to use the Heaven Punishing Halberd after this. "Remember, from today onwards, do not let anyone know your true identity!"
"Yes sir!"
After which he looked at Patriarch Zhen, Yan Fa Jun asked calmly, "Has Patriarch Zhen made up his mind yet?"
Patriarch Zhen's current mood could not be described as fear anymore. Hearing that, he hurriedly crawled on the ground, "I … I am willing to cooperate with Shakyamuni Yama! "
What a joke, did he dare to disagree?
There was no need to hide his actions just now.
If he did not agree, not only would he die here, but the entire Zhen Clan would be wiped out by him.
"Hahahahaha!" Good, good! "Then let's talk about it …"
