Chapter 942: Chapter 942
Wang Yang’s divine sense spread out, accurately detecting every change in space. The space-time turbulence crisscrossed, but Wang Yang was in the center, unaffected.
Wang Yang’s eyes emitted a brilliant light, and his gaze abruptly focused on a spot in space.
There, in the shattered space, a crystal-clear orb, resembling an uncut jade, stood quietly.
Wang Yang’s figure flashed, disregarding the surrounding void turbulence, and appeared directly in front of the orb. With a single point of his finger, the orb began to tremble violently, and a powerful resistive force burst out, attempting to repel Wang Yang!
Wang Yang knew this was that mysterious power of the Demon Clan controlling the Minor World to block his entry.
But from his fingertip, a surge of ultimate Power of Laws erupted, shattering the resistive force instantly, and Wang Yang’s form also vanished at that moment.
Reappearing, he had already entered the Minor World, and a handsome young man abruptly raised his head, meeting Wang Yang’s gaze.
"State Preceptor Xu Mao, at your service, welcome to my Minor World, the Celestial Mystery Nine Locks!"
Wang Yang’s eyes slightly narrowed, this was not the first time he had heard this name. State Preceptor Xu Mao was an existence known by everyone in the current world.
Following the Emperor to establish dominance, mastering the celestial divination arts, the entire Sky Star Pavilion of the Imperial Dynasty was under Xu Mao’s control.
It is well known that the Sky Star Pavilion is the key to suppressing the world’s Force of Destiny, such an important task handed to State Preceptor Xu Mao is enough to prove the deep trust the Emperor has in him.
"No wonder the Demon Clan knows every step in advance, it turns out it’s the State Preceptor who’s meddling. No one would suspect that the identity of the Demon Clan’s Holy Son is the Crown Prince of the East Palace, nor that the sitting State Preceptor would be of the Demon Clan!
"You flatter me, Young Master! This little skill is nothing in front of you, my identity will be exposed sooner or later, but not now!"
Xu Mao seemed to be saying something irrelevant, but to Wang Yang, it had a deep implication—if Xu Mao had always kept his identity hidden.
Then Wang Yang indeed would be hard-pressed to know, after all, the attention now is focused on that Demon Clan’s Holy Son and not on a State Preceptor who controls the destiny of the Imperial Dynasty, even the world.
Of course, the main reason is also that Xu Mao hid it well, without revealing any flaws!
But now, the State Preceptor Xu Mao exposed his own identity, stepping forth, implying he wants Wang Yang to stop, because the Demon Clan has already used this last hidden piece!
Your meaning, is this Minor World capable of trapping me?
Wang Yang asked with a smile, a slight contempt in his expression, though he had to admit, Xu Mao’s Celestial Mystery Nine Locks Minor World Laws were strong.
Completely isolated from the outside, it means within this Minor World, the Laws are set by the realm master Xu Mao, everything must proceed according to the will of the realm master.
Outsiders, whether Wang Yang, Wang Siyun, or Chen Lin, are subject to the suppression of Laws. So, Xu Mao can easily trap the two great experts, Wang Siyun and Chen Lin, and conversely, converse with Wang Yang so lightly.
"Unless it’s absolutely necessary, I won’t make a move. In the past, the two great Protectors were both killed by Duke Chen of the State in the previous dynasty, and I still didn’t take the risk to rescue them, Young Master, do you know why?"
Xu Mao said neither hurriedly nor slowly, with a composed look, as if reminiscing with an old friend. Wang Yang at this moment also appeared very calm, showing no rush, gently nodded and said.
"Back then, Duke Chen discovered the existence of the Outer Realm Demon Clan and began organizing armies to slaughter my Demon Clan people indiscriminately."
"Because just entering this World, the cultivation Laws were not fully mastered, coupled with Duke Chen being an unparalleled genius, a prodigy, unmatched in cultivation strength, none have been stronger in what I’ve seen so far."
"Even the current Emperor pales in comparison, but do you know, Duke Chen did not die at the hands of the two great Protectors?"
"I know, after Duke Chen killed the two great Protectors, he left their power in Chen Lin’s body, because the Royal Family of the Imperial Dynasty suppressed the world’s destiny, the trend had already formed, Duke Chen wielding the power of the world’s Dragon Vein naturally understood that destiny cannot be defied!"
"What the Young Master knows, is but one aspect, what could make the world’s strongest peak compromise and yield, handing over the endless mountains and rivers laid by the previous dynasty?"
At this point, Xu Mao deliberately paused for a moment, seeing Wang Yang’s silence, continued after a long time.
"Because back then Duke Chen had been demonized, his fate inscribed with my clan’s Blood Swimming Forbidden Art, the Blood Demon Curse, hence he knew he was doomed to die!"
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
Wang Yang did not know what Xu Mao was getting at, the truth of Duke Chen’s past seemed unrelated to the current situation!
"The Young Master should know what my clan’s Bloodline Forbidden Technique demon curse signifies, Duke Chen’s descendants have long been cursed to death, and Chen Lin, is not even Duke Chen’s descendant, but a descendant of the former Yang Family!"
"Real name Yang Lin, adept at the Bloodline Secret Technique Spirit Capturing, the Imprisoned Dragon was merely a guise by Duke Chen, how could one body possibly have two Bloodline Secret Techniques?"
"Flowing in Chen Lin’s body is the Yang Family’s blood, so she must die!"
"Are you telling me of the Demon Clan’s determination to kill her?"
"Certainly! Based on her identity as a descendant of the Yang Family, the Royal Family can’t tolerate her either!"
"When the Young Master came to this world, it was already under the surname Wang, the Young Master never witnessed the tyrannical Bloodline Secret Technique Spirit Capturing of the Yang Family, which was so defying of heaven that all tribes submitted, even the mightiest Dragon Clan lineage was slaughtered by the Yang Family, and wronged spirits and manifestations dared not appear!"
"So the fear of the Yang Family in this world is deeply embedded in the soul, and they won’t allow any Yang Family descendants to remain, especially a Saint who has awakened the true Spirit Capturing Technique!"
"Thus, it wasn’t that the Yang Family didn’t fight, but the death of Duke Chen enabled your Demon Clan to provoke the Hundred Tribes to besiege the Yang Family, and afterward, the Hundred Tribes reached a consensus, framing the history as the Royal Family suppressing the heavenly destiny, and the trend was inevitable!"
"The Yang Family didn’t dare defy the heavens, they just followed the heavenly intent, but in reality, all Yang Family descendants were already slaughtered!"
Wang Yang continued along Xu Mao’s words, Xu Mao nodded, having to admire Wang Yang’s wisdom, who could broadly perceive the past situation just from the connections in Xu Mao’s words.
"Therefore, back then, I could incite the Royal Family to rise and lead the Hundred Tribes to besiege the Yang Family, and today, I can naturally use Chen Lin’s identity to plunge this world into chaos!"
"I have no intention of being your enemy, and the Holy Son also hopes the Young Master can let bygones be bygones. In this world, you may exclusively own fifty percent of the celestial Dao Origin Force!"
At this point, Wang Yang finally knew Xu Mao’s purpose in appearing. To persuade him with time, and with some degree of strength, it seemed only Xu Mao from the Demon Clan could.
It sounded like the Demon Clan’s Holy Son was quite sincere, offering as much as fifty percent, seemingly not aligning with Wang Yang’s impression of the Demon Clan who would devour everything alone.
Moreover, State Preceptor Xu Mao unhesitatingly exposed his identity to appear, probably as a bargaining capital.
The stakes, naturally, were the lives of Chen Lin and Wang Siyun!
If Wang Yang did not agree to the terms, then State Preceptor Xu Mao could, just like inciting the Hundred Tribes in the past, place Chen Lin and Wang Siyun amidst the hatred of the Hundred Tribes, antagonized by the world.
Wang Yang had been in the Minor World for some time, yet could not sense Chen Lin and Wang Siyun’s presence at all, indicating Xu Mao indeed had some techniques!
"No hurry with time, please consider well—Young Master!"
Seeing Wang Yang’s silence, Xu Mao smiled and said, then with a wave of his hand, the scene of the world receded, a pavilion appeared between heaven and earth, and at this moment, Xu Mao and Wang Yang were sitting opposite each other within the pavilion!
