Free Web NovelChapter 1156: Chapter 783: Sheng Yanlin
Sheng Yanlin, Sheng Jingxuan... Yang Xiao sensed the subtle relationship between the two names, "This Sheng Jingxuan and you..."
"He’s my biological younger brother!" Sheng Yanlin gritted his teeth with hatred, only he knows the torture and humiliation of the past ten years, "We’re blood brothers!"
Being backstabbed by the closest person, Yang Xiao could understand this feeling; Sheng Yanlin was crying in tears before him. freewebnoveℓ.com
What made Yang Xiao even more shocked was the terrifying aura that emanated from the old man, this aura seemed to awaken the fragments of the Drama Robe on him, and the Human Bone Staff instantly appeared in his hand.
In terms of spiritual power intensity alone, the senior’s power surpassed that of the Demon Sect Vajra considerably, but then Yang Xiao thought this was expected; after all, he was the master of the Upper Three Bookshops.
The Old Clan Leader of Ru Lin Academy Yang Xiao had seen, could truly be called immortal, the peak of Ghost Level high-level apostles looked like ants to him, reduced to ashes with a wave of the hand.
And the person before him, though not as powerful as the Old Clan Leader of Ru Lin Yang Family, would certainly not be much worse, at least he was a master on that level.
Knowing Yang Xiao was probing with the Human Bone Staff, Sheng Yanlin didn’t hide it any longer, "Back then I was schemed against by stealth. I was no match for the White Robe Dharma King, but I could, at least, escape; it was the spy within the team who attacked me when I was off guard. My blood brother was so fearful that I would escape and expose his true colors, he really worked painstakingly!"
"And what of that Demon Sect Vajra, did he get away?" Sheng Yanlin suddenly asked.
"No, he was killed with one punch by the High Priest of the Esoteric Sect." Even now recalling that scene still left Yang Xiao deeply impressed, the Demon Sect Vajra, known for defense, couldn’t withstand even one punch.
Upon hearing this news, Sheng Yanlin suddenly clapped his hands and stood up excitedly, "Good, good, good!!"
After three consecutive goods, Sheng Yanlin paced excitedly as if his great revenge had been fulfilled, "Back then it wasn’t just the White Robe Dharma King who ambushed me, but a host of Dharma Sect’s masters, including this fellow and another City Lord. I’d recognize him in ashes."
To be jointly dealt with by the White Robe Dharma King and two City Lord-level masters, Yang Xiao fully understood the weight of significance of the person before him.
"Old Dean, now you..."
"Now old man I am half a cripple, those bastards of Dharma Sect wasted all my magic artifacts, leaving only this one." Sheng Yanlin tremblingly opened his shirt, revealing a Chinese-styled short jacket concealed inside, "This clothing can greatly enhance my perception of magic artifacts and control over spiritual power."
"It’s not the benevolence of Dharma Sect; they need me to be usable to them. If they destroy all my artifacts, my ability to appraise artifacts would be ruined."
"You can also see this is a supportive magic artifact, all my combat-type artifacts are gone."
"They were forcibly stripped away using secret techniques, two were taken away, one got accidentally destroyed on the way."
Talking about these things, Sheng Yanlin’s voice subconsciously became much more solemn, a history unbearable to recall.
This made Yang Xiao think of Lu Youdao, hiding at the Patrol Defense Office; he too had his artifacts stripped by external forces, but his technique obviously didn’t match up to these people from Dharma Sect, after all, Sheng Yanlin seemed at least physically whole, and his spirits were still quite vigorous.
Now Sheng Yanlin has spiritual power but lacks any genuinely usable artifacts, calling him a toothless old tiger wouldn’t be an exaggeration; any Fierce Grade Apostle could kill him easily.
"Take out all your artifacts, let the old man take a look at them." After a brief pain, Sheng Yanlin quickly regained his composure, now he has escaped his predicament, and it’s a new beginning.
Yang Xiao instinctively tried to get up to fetch the Drama Robe behind him but was held down by Sheng Yanlin, "No need to take that garment, now try summoning the artifacts."
Yang Xiao stared at the Human Bone Staff in his hand, and as a sudden thought crossed his dimly lit mind, the Soul-Capturing Mirror appeared in the other hand.
Next were the Ghost Lantern, Ghost Bamboo Stick, Purple Gold Sleeve Robe, Ghost phone, Ghost Bell. These artifacts were lined up, displayed on the nearby low table, like an exhibition.
"How... how could this happen?" Yang Xiao looked in astonishment at his hands; he used to need to touch the Drama Robe to take out these artifacts, but now, these artifacts seemed truly belonging to him.
"No destruction, no construction, you have already crossed that threshold, a genuine Ghost-level Apostle now." Sheng Yanlin said with satisfaction, "Of course, this medicated bath personally configured by the old man is essential, I dare say among Ghost-level Apostles there are few who receive such treatment worldwide."
"The fragments on you are part of the coffin clothes, now your spiritual power has increased, naturally you can awaken the fragments and freely take out the artifacts swallowed by the coffin clothes, this is a qualitative enhancement for your combat power."
"I can say when you fully recover, within apostles of the same level you will have no rival, provided you don’t bump into those with particularly strange paths, cross-level killing wouldn’t be difficult."
Hearing this, Yang Xiao clenched his fist wanting to fully activate his spiritual power, but the next moment, he shuddered in pain, curled up in the dark medicinal bath barrel, his body bent like a shrimp.
The old man seemed to expect this and while checking the artifacts laid out on the table, advised, "Don’t waste your efforts, listen to the old man, focus on soaking in the herbal bath, do you know how precious these herbs are, back then the old man had a hard time acquiring them."
"It’s hard to say whether you’re lucky or unlucky, these artifacts are all good stuff, some are absolute gems, even the Southeast Guardian Master’s artifact of the Black Buddha Mother landed in your hands, how did you manage that?"
