Chapter 1862: Chapter 1061: Head of Ten Thousand Religions
"Alright, since you’ve already made your decision, I’ll help smooth things over for you. Don’t worry about the Patrol Defense Office, but you’ll need to put some thought into dealing with the Taoist Sect."
After a pause, Jiushan Cangxuan reminded him, "This Wordless Heavenly Scripture is very significant to the Taoist Sect and they won’t give it up easily. When you return, they will definitely inquire in detail about your experiences within the Beiyu Ye Secret Realm. Your methods worked against Beiyu Ye, but fooling those Great True Masters might be a bit beyond your current abilities."
"What do you think, Senior?" Yang Xiao knew Jiushan Cangxuan was on his side and hoped the Wordless Heavenly Scripture would remain in his possession.
Jiushan Cangxuan replied decisively, "Unless necessary, do not attempt to use this book again after returning to the country. With your current strength, you’re still too stretched."
"If trouble arises, even if you’re not dead, the existence of this book will be exposed. At that time, the Taoist Sect won’t let you off easily, and you won’t be able to explain yourself to the Patrol Defense Office either."
"Senior, those Great True Masters of the Taoist Sect are top experts in the world. Do you think they might... might have ways of detecting this item?" Yang Xiao couldn’t help but ask worriedly.
"You are, after all, an official of the Patrol Defense Office, so even if the Taoist Sect Great True Masters suspect you, they won’t openly make things difficult for you. I think they might create opportunities to engage with you in hopes of finding out the whereabouts of this book, just stay alert." frёeωebɳovel.com
"As for whether they can detect this book...," Jiushan Cangxuan smiled slightly, casting a meaningful glance at Yang Xiao, "I don’t think they can. Even right now, facing you, I feel nothing of the Wordless Heavenly Scripture’s presence."
Yang Xiao’s heart gave a jolt; he knew exactly why that was—the Hundred Demons Coffin Clothes were shielding the Wordless Heavenly Scripture.
Seeing Yang Xiao’s face subtly tense, Jiushan Cangxuan comforted him, "Yang Xiao, don’t be nervous. Everyone has secrets they don’t want others to know. I think you’ve come as far as you have not just by your effort."
"You’re very lucky, and a good person. We are friends, and that’s enough."
"Senior’s kindness will always be remembered," Yang Xiao quickly expressed his stance.
Yang Xiao’s response pleased Jiushan Cangxuan very much. He gestured for Yang Xiao to sit down and asked casually, "I’m curious, what were you planning to foresee using the Wordless Heavenly Scripture?"
"I dare not hide from you, Senior. I once held a grudge against someone, and originally intended to use the Wordless Heavenly Scripture to find their whereabouts and then get rid of them first," Now that Yang Xiao and the Jiushan Family were essentially allies, he didn’t want to conceal his feud with the Sect Master. ƒrēewebnovel.com
"Someone from the Black Buddha Mother?" Jiushan Cangxuan’s brow furrowed slightly.
"No, it’s the leader of an evil cultivation force called the Yu Yuan Sect, and they call him Sect Master," Yang Xiao introduced.
Unexpectedly, Jiushan Cangxuan actually knew this person. "So it’s him. I’ve heard a bit about him; he’s the one who collaborated with Hei Mu Zhenyi to cause trouble at Ru Lin Academy. Yang Qianhe spent a significant amount of money to hunt him down, and his son’s death, Yang Yunluo, is inseparable from this person. He is not to be underestimated."
"However... how did you offend him?" Jiushan Cangxuan’s tone shifted as he inquired.
Yang Xiao had already prepared an answer in his heart and sighed deeply with a sense of reflection, "I eliminated one of his Sect Leaders during an underground match at Ru Lin Academy, and this female Sect Leader was his lover."
"Fury for the sake of a beauty." Jiushan Cangxuan nodded, finding no fault with this reason.
"There’s one thing you might not know. I’ve already found out that Hei Mu Zhenyi’s ambush was secretly orchestrated by the Ghost Sect. It was the Ghost Sect leader who named this Sect Master. Do you know why?" Jiushan Cangxuan suddenly asked.
Yang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat; how could he not know? It was most likely for the Hundred Demons Coffin Clothes he possessed—this was the young Sect Master’s bargaining chip.
"I don’t know," Yang Xiao feigned ignorance, his acting was very convincing.
"It’s for the Ghost Tomb left behind by the former Big Leader. There’s information that this Ghost Tomb is hidden within Ru Lin Academy, and the ’key’ to open it is in Yang Qianhe’s possession," Jiushan Cangxuan continued.
The weight in Yang Xiao’s heart finally lifted, feeling as if he narrowly escaped danger.
Without dwelling too much on this topic, Jiushan Cangxuan promised that if the Sect Master dared appear in Japan, he would intervene for Yang Xiao and capture him alive.
"Thank you very much, Senior!" Yang Xiao was deeply grateful but did not forget to remind, "No need to capture alive, it’s best to kill him on the spot. This person is very cunning, just like the time Yang Qianhe, the elder, was deceived by him—the tragedy of Ru Lin Academy is a blood-stained lesson!"
"Alright." Jiushan Cangxuan agreed with a smile but didn’t seem to take Yang Xiao’s warning to heart.
Yang Xiao understood, as the experts of the Jiushan Family were far superior to those at Ru Lin Academy. The five Netherworld Envoys led by the Half Compassion Purple Body Buddha had been repelled, a testament to their terrifying combat strength.
It was important to know that, according to information Yang Xiao gathered later, the group that ambushed Ru Lin Academy comprised only two Netherworld Envoys, adding the imprisoned Sect Master, making just three.
Among those three, the acknowledged most formidable was Hei Mu Zhenyi of the Black Wood Society, whose strength was on par with Iaido Slash Jiusan Shunyu—they had once exchanged hundreds of moves without a clear victor.
"By the way, Senior Jiushan, since you repelled the Half Compassion Purple Body Buddha and killed two of their experts this time, will they... will they come back for revenge against you?" Yang Xiao was also concerned that the Jiushan Family might attract trouble.
