"Senior Jiu Shan, originally I planned to inform you later, but since you’ve asked today, I’ll just speak openly."
Yang Xiao seed extrely aggrieved, with his eyes slightly reddened, he choked up and said: "Just like you said, I’m wronged, I don’t know what happened. As soon as I ca out of the Secret Realm, this Wordless Heavenly Scripture recognized as its master."
"But this caused a misunderstanding with Brother Beiyu Ye. I explained several tis, but he wouldn’t listen and insisted on fighting . I had no choice but to resort to this desperate asure."
"After knocking out Brother Beiyu Ye, I initially thought to find you imdiately to explain, but feared putting you in a difficult position, so I kept the matter to myself."
Yang Xiao looked at Jiushan Cangxuan with a grateful gaze: "I’ve been uneasy all this ti, not knowing what to do. It’s fortunate that you ca tonight, Senior Jiu Shan... You’ve... you’ve saved !"
"Haha, Yang Xiao, don’t keep things to yourself. You’re a friend of the Ju Mountain Family, and friends should be honest with each other." Even a seasoned veteran like Jiushan Cangxuan was shocked by Yang Xiao’s shalessness. If he hadn’t co tonight to pressure him, he believed Yang Xiao would never reveal the Wordless Heavenly Scripture was with him.
Initially, he only thought this person was extraordinarily talented, but now it seems his talent is worthless in the face of his thick skin and scheming.
Seeing he couldn’t hide anymore, Yang Xiao stopped wasting words, and with a thought, he took out the Wordless Heavenly Scripture from his chest and respectfully handed it over, "The Wordless Heavenly Scripture is here, please take a look, Senior."
"This thing has really hard !" Yang Xiao continued to dramatize his plight.
"Whew—" Jiushan Cangxuan took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on the book, and surprisingly extended both hands to accept it.
This attitude naturally wasn’t for Yang Xiao; he wasn’t qualified. It was for the recognition of the book’s value, one of the Taoist Sect’s six secret treasures, invaluable. Jiushan Cangxuan was seeing this treasure for the first ti.
As his fingers brushed over the worn-out cover, a rough and profound sense of history erged, causing Jiushan Cangxuan to montarily lose himself, as if holding not a book, but a heavy fragnt of history.
Instinctively, Jiushan Cangxuan wanted to open the book, but after several failed attempts, he suddenly woke up with a sheepish smile, looking at Yang Xiao again with both praise and regret, "It’s already recognized you as its master. You truly are extraordinary, Yang Xiao."
"You’re too kind, Senior. If I had a choice, I would rather have never seen it." Yang Xiao feigned maintaining his persona with a sigh.
Jiushan Cangxuan didn’t bother arguing and straightforwardly said, "I want to use this Magic Artifact once. Afterwards, I’ll give you so compensation. Feel free to ask for anything you want."
Refusing further would seem insincere, so after a brief thought, Yang Xiao made his request: "I want that Puppet that ambushed in Kagoshima."
Yang Xiao had carefully considered before asking for the Puppet, its ability tied to Ghost Fog, able to automatically repair its injuries within the fog, perfectly complenting Yang Xiao’s Ghost Fog Bottle.
"Very well, I’ll give it to you tomorrow." Jiushan Cangxuan agreed without hesitation.
The deal settled, it was ti to get to work. Yang Xiao curiously asked, "Senior Jiu Shan, what can I do for you?"
Yang Xiao was also encountering the Wordless Heavenly Scripture for the first ti and didn’t know how to use it. This was a chance to learn from Jiushan Cangxuan’s guidance.
Additionally, he was very curious about what Jiushan Cangxuan might prophesy with the book.
Unexpectedly, faced with Yang Xiao’s question, Jiushan Cangxuan just shook his head, "No need for you to worry about that, Yang Xiao, give your hand."
Yang Xiao obediently extended his right hand, and in the next second, Jiushan Cangxuan’s left hand grasped his wrist. Suddenly, a straw rope tied around Jiushan Cangxuan’s left wrist seed to co alive, writhing rapidly like a snake, and coiled around Yang Xiao’s wrist, linking the wrists of Jiushan Cangxuan and Yang Xiao together.
It was only then Yang Xiao realized it was a straw rope with paper strears tied to it.
He had seen similar items; this was called Shinawa, commonly hung at Bird Houses, Shrines, and in front of Divine Trees to bring blessings and ward off disasters.
Then a horrifying scene unfolded. With their wrists linked by the Shinawa, Jiushan Cangxuan opened the book.
Simultaneously, Yang Xiao’s connection with the Wordless Heavenly Scripture was severed, the feeling akin to the book being stolen, changing masters.
It was now very clear that this inconspicuous Shinawa was also a rare Magic Artifact, capable of stealing other’s Magic Artifacts.
Inside the book, there was no written record, only chaos, as if obscured by an un-dispersed fog, concealing everything.
Having beco the new master of the Wordless Heavenly Scripture, Jiushan Cangxuan hesitated no longer, closing his eyes to pose a question inwardly. Monts later, the page once filled with chaos had its fog disperse sowhat, gradually revealing scenes.
Yang Xiao couldn’t see any of this; he could only watch Jiushan Cangxuan’s face as he stared at the book, his gaze shifting from anticipation to astonishnt, and finally to deep confusion.
Suddenly, Yang Xiao felt an emptiness as if his soul was being drained, his body uncontrollably shivering, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.
More terrifying still, the state of the Wordless Heavenly Scripture beca extrely unstable, the chaotic energy within it seed to have surpassed a boundary, overflowing from the book and affecting reality.
