Even so, Lin Yi did not take it to heart. After all, weapons were external objects. After staying on the Heavenly Island for a few years, his ideology was already very similar to that of the other natives. He always felt that personal strength was the true way to go. This was especially so in the ancient martial world, where everyone had a weapon. The weapons he saw were all common goods, and would not be of much use at crucial moments.
However, the scene before him completely reversed his understanding.
Although the Shadow Shifting Jar seemed to be a single-use item, its effects were really enviable. Once used well, it could be of great use both offensively and defensively. It could even turn the tide of a battle at a crucial moment. This was no joke.
All of a sudden, Lin Yi became very interested in this unknown Chu Family. Those unique shadow-based techniques had already given him quite a bit of inspiration, and now there was this miraculous Shadow Shifting Urn. It seemed like he'd have to pay them a visit once he got out of this place.
Of course, even without this, Lin Yi would have paid them a visit anyway. After all, they were preparing to marry Duanmu Yu.
Although Duanmu Yu didn't express her feelings clearly last time, Lin Yi was an experienced man. He could more or less guess a girl's feelings. It didn't matter how the two of them ended up in the future. At the very least, he wouldn't sit by and watch the marriage between House Chu and Ye Ling Sect. Otherwise, he wouldn't be a man at all.
"Shadow Shifting Jar?!" After hearing Chu Wenshang's words, Chu Tianlu was immediately shocked. Then, he revealed a shocked and angry expression. "This is the clan's treasure. According to the ancestral teachings, only the clan leader can carry it. Why is it with you?"
In the Primordial Underworld, every high-grade sect or clan would have their own specialties, and they would also have their own trump cards. Even a small clan like the Chu Clan was no exception. The Shadow Shifting Jar was the Chu Clan's ultimate treasure.
This wasn't a weapon in the traditional sense of the word. It was a consumable item that could only be used once. Even so, it didn't affect its status as a clan treasure. Even though the Chu clan possessed the forging method, due to the harsh conditions, there were always very few of them. In order to avoid any accidents, they were usually tightly sealed in the lowest level of the vault, and only the clan head could use them.
However, such an important clan treasure, something that even a Golden Core expert like Chu Wenshang had no chance of seeing, had actually appeared in the hands of Chu Tianliang, a young disciple at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment realm. This was truly unexpected.
"Chu Hengding …" Chu Wenshang's current state was still shocking. He had been tricked by Chu Tianliang, and his carotid artery had clearly been severed by the tip of a blade. Otherwise, he would not be bleeding so profusely. However, the strength of an early Golden Core cultivator was not just for show. This kind of heavy injury, which would have definitely killed an ordinary person, was actually forcefully stabilized by him. Although his appearance was terrifying, he would not die for a while.
When Chu Tianlu heard this name, he immediately understood. Chu Hengding was none other than Chu Tianliang's father, a top-level figure who controlled the entire Chu clan's finances. Only two people in the entire Chu clan had the opportunity to enter the lowest basement. One was the current clan leader, a newly advanced Nascent Soul cultivator, and the other was him, Chu Hengding.
Why did Chu Tianliang have the Shadow Shifting Jar? Even an idiot could tell that Chu Hengding was willing to pay a heavy price for this son of his.
"Uncle Wenshang, you saw it too. I was forced to save my life just now. This guy is already at the end of his tether. Why don't you quickly finish him off? Don't worry, the thousand spirit jades that my father promised you definitely won't be any less. Also, I don't want the Spirit Knowledge Fruit anymore. It's all yours! "Chu Tianliang calmed down slightly and hurriedly tried to salvage the situation.
Just now, Chu Wenshang had almost been completely screwed over, especially with the precedent of biting the hand that fed him and stabbing Chu Xingping to death. If he didn't quickly salvage the situation, Chu Wenshang might turn around and attack him instead. That would be the end of him.
Chu Tianlu's heart jumped when he heard this. The effects of Shadow Shifting Bones were about to disappear. At that time, his right arm, which he was used to using, would become a complete burden. He wouldn't be able to fight back at all. If Chu Wenshang continued to forcefully attack him, he would have nowhere to run.
It had to be said that even though Chu Tianliang's performance in other areas wasn't worth mentioning, his words came at the right time.
Sure enough, the expression of Chu Wenshang, who had already flown into a rage out of humiliation, changed. The Spirit Knowledge Fruit and a thousand spirit jades. There was no way he could resist such a temptation. As for the debt of being forced into a bloody mess by Chu Tianliang's Shadow Shifting Technique, that could wait for another day.
"Uncle Wenshang, you've already personally experienced this guy's character. Do you still want to continue abusing him? Even if you really help him kill me, there's a high chance that he'll turn around and bite you in the end. I advise you to think carefully before speaking. " Chu Tianlu could only open his mouth to persuade him. In his current state, there was absolutely no chance of victory. He could only attack Chu Wenshang's mind.
Chu Wenshang was somewhat hesitant. Seeing this, Chu Tianliang, who was a hundred feet away, hurriedly shouted, "Don't listen to his nonsense, listen to me. As long as you kill him, the Divine Knowledge Fruit and the thousand spirit jades will all be yours!"
"Uncle Wenshang, you should at least look at the other party's character before making a deal. Otherwise, if they turn hostile and refuse to acknowledge their debt, you'll be the one to suffer. Also, don't forget that you personally experienced his Shadow Shifting Jar!" Chu Tianlu continued to persuade him.
Chu Wenshang didn't feel anything before, but when he heard the last sentence, his heart suddenly thumped.
It had to be known that Chu Tianliang's possession of the Shadow Shifting Jar was a serious crime equivalent to rebellion. Since he had personally witnessed it, Chu Hengding and Chu Tianliang would definitely think of a way to silence him afterwards. There was no other choice. At that time, even if he really obtained the Spirit Knowledge Fruit and a thousand spirit jades, it would only serve to hasten his death.
When he saw Chu Wenshang's expression change, Chu Tianliang turned around and fled without another word. Chu Wenshang's guess was correct. Since he had been forced to use the Shadow Shifting Jar, all the witnesses present had to be silenced. Chu Tianlu had to die, and Chu Wenshang had to die as well. There was no way he could argue against this, so he could only flee.
Chu Tianliang fled very quickly. Chu Wenshang and Chu Tianlu could only watch him in the dust. Normally, any one of them would be able to easily catch up to Chu Tianliang, but now that they were both heavily injured, how could they chase after him?
"Alright, now we've both become thorns in the eyes of this father and son …" Chu Wenshang laughed bitterly. Offending Chu Hengding, a person with real authority at the top of the Chu clan, would not be easy in the future.
