Free Web NovelChapter 1725: Chapter 993: Opening the Yellow Springs Road
The next morning, Yang Xiao attended a meeting organized by the Ju Mountain Family. During the meeting, he spoke on behalf of the Patrol General Bureau, expressing high recognition for the cooperation between the bureau and the Ju Mountain Family over the years. He also signed some agreements under the arrangement of Mu Yunshu.
In the evening, Yang Xiao continued to study corpse refining with the young Taoist Beiyu Ye from Dragon Tiger Mountain. In just a few days, his skills in corpse refining had significantly improved. The Bone Burning Taoist had already shown signs of soon being able to utilize magic artifacts. Such rapid progress was astounding, and Beiyu Ye couldn’t help but secretly marvel, as he himself had not progressed as quickly in the past.
Even as confident as he was, he had to admit that Yang Xiao had an extremely high talent in the art of corpse refining. With excellent magic artifacts in hand, his progress in refining corpses was advancing at lightning speed.
However, he was slightly puzzled by the fact that this guy seemed to know very well how to manage corpses.
It was as if he had handled numerous corpses before and had an uncanny familiarity with them.
To understand what was going on, he specifically found an opportunity to test Yang Xiao with his own methods. He was nearly jaw-dropped by the discovery. He found the scent of no less than 50 corpses on Yang Xiao, and more shockingly, these scents were all very fresh. This meant that in the past three days alone, Yang Xiao had come into contact with over 50 corpses.
It should be noted that these were not ordinary corpses; they were Angel Envoys, and even the weakest among them were close to Peak of Fierce Level. The strongest aura even surpassed a Half-step Nether Realm.
Beiyu Ye was not inexperienced; he was a leading figure among the younger generation of Dragon Tiger Mountain and instantly realized that Yang Xiao possessed a space-type magical artifact in which a large number of "living corpses" were stored.
As to what type of living corpses they were, he couldn’t determine for now, but the mere fact was shocking enough. Where did he acquire dozens of Angel Envoy corpses at Peak of Fierce Level or higher?
At this moment, Beiyu Ye recalled what his senior uncle had once advised: among the three major forces, the Patrol Defense Office was the one that should not be provoked. They were not as insidious as the United Federation nor as volatile as the Chamber of Commerce. They appeared courteous and rarely showed anger or took action, but when they did, they were ruthless. In those turbulent times, they were not strangers to annihilating sects. The high-ranking masters in the General Bureau all had blood debts on their hands.
But these words were meant to be quietly shared among family. Speaking of them openly would be reckless. The iron fist of the Patrol Defense Office was slow but inevitable. If caught in an investigation, it would be too late to cry.
Beiyu Ye was a very smart person, knowing that there were things better left unknown. Yang Xiao’s identity was special as a special envoy of the Patrol General Bureau, and exposing his secrets would be of no benefit to him.
Pretending nothing was known, everyone remained friends. He was happy to make friends, especially with people from the Patrol Defense Office. Yang Xiao had a good appearance, spoke well, and was quite an interesting person. His master once taught him that traveling relied on friends and that more friends meant more paths.
Under Beiyu Ye’s teaching, Yang Xiao greatly benefited. Aside from being a bit narcissistic, he indeed had real skills, much better than the wild path Ku Daoist.
Yang Xiao was eager to perfect the Bone Burning Taoist. He wanted to see the expression on Ku Daoist’s face when he met this puppet upon return.
No, he needed to first hide his true strength and let Ku Daoist explain to him the "Corpse Supplement and Life Cutting Scripture." Now that he was a novice in this field, he understood some basic knowledge. If Ku Daoist dared to deceive him, distort, mislead, or intentionally conceal the content of the book, then he, the Yu Yuan Sect Nether Emperor Ye Xiao, would not be so easily trifled with. freeweɓnøvel.com
After today’s session ended, another person entered this bizarre space. Who else could it be but Jiushan Cangxuan? After nodding in greeting, Beiyu Ye packed up and tactfully left.
Now, only Jiushan Cangxuan and Yang Xiao were left inside the Guardian House. freёwebnovel.com
Jiushan Cangxuan gestured with his hand, signaling Yang Xiao not to be nervous. They sat down on the floor at a low wooden table.
After a few pleasantries, Jiushan Cangxuan got to the point, "Yang Xiao, you’re a talented individual and a friend of the Ju Mountain Family. We are planning a major operation soon and wonder if you would be interested."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao’s vigilance heightened. He worried this was an operation against the Ghost Sect. It wasn’t that he was afraid, but he represented the stance of the Patrol General Bureau. If he participated in the operation on his own, it might bring unnecessary trouble to the Patrol Defense Office.
"What kind of operation?" Yang Xiao asked in a lowered voice. He decided to learn more before making a decision. If necessary, he could defer the decision to Mu Yunshu.
If it truly was a secret operation against the Ghost Sect, Jiushan Cangxuan would get interrupted halfway, as he would not participate in such matters. The less he knew, the better, even if he wasn’t planning to participate.
While Jiushan Cangxuan was nice to him, if he thought this favor would be enough to use Yang Xiao as a spear, that was absolutely impossible unless the General Bureau approved.
"We have confirmed that a secret realm will soon open. We plan to send personnel to infiltrate the secret realm. We’ve observed your abilities and believe you’re a highly suitable candidate. Your involvement would greatly increase our chances of successfully breaching the realm."
"This is a very rare opportunity, and we hope you will consider it carefully." Jiushan Cangxuan said straightforwardly, getting straight to the main point.
