But thinking about this point, Yu ManLou was even more puzzled. But if the First Pavilion was cooperating with the Shui Family, was there a need for them to risk their lives to save an outsider? Even if I wanted to rope them in, the risk was too great. If I had noticed them in advance, it wouldn't have been difficult for the other two to take them down. Or rather, the First Pavilion was set up by the Shui Family. If that was the case, then the Shui Family's strength would have to be reevaluated! With the support of the First Pavilion, the strength of the Shui Family would definitely not be small! Wait a moment, there seems to be another possibility. Perhaps this possibility is more logical … "
That night, Bright Jade City was once again engulfed in a rain of blood. After the previous large-scale assassination, the officials who had just taken over their positions were once again met with the same fate as their predecessors! The only difference was that the number of deaths this time was even higher and the situation was even more tragic. Over 70 officials were killed in the city and their residences were burned to the ground. The intensity of the fire was so great that hundreds of families were affected and more than a few hundred people were burned to death.
According to rumors, even the towering Tamago suffered heavy losses in this incident. Tamago's courtyard was filled with flames and countless people saw it with their own eyes. For the largest power in Bright Jade City to actually be attacked, this was an event that was rarely seen in a hundred years. In an instant, everyone in the city was in danger and Bright Jade City had already ordered for a lockdown. The Imperial Guards that belonged to the imperial family and were now under the control of Tamago were scattered all over the city. It was said that the Family Head of Tamago was enraged by the ambush and had sent out a large number of experts to search for the culprit. In an instant, the streets and alleys of Bright Jade City were filled with the white robes of Tamago's White Jade experts and the purple robes of Purple Jade experts. The entire Bright Jade City was in a state of complete panic.
Bright Jade City, which was normally a place where no one would pick up anything that was found on the streets, was currently shrouded in a murderous aura!
There were people who were constantly shouting about being wronged while being punched and kicked by the soldiers, who were locked up and thrown into prison. As long as there was anyone who dared to resist, no matter how much they resisted, they would be sliced in half and blood would flow everywhere. The four city gates were tightly shut, not allowing anyone to enter or leave. Even the various envoys in Bright Jade City were under strict surveillance, and this was even glorified as' protection '!
For the first time in nearly a hundred years, Bright Jade City fell into an abnormal state of panic.
The sky gradually brightened, and the first light of dawn began to appear on the horizon. The morning sun was like every other day, slowly descending upon the world. A new day had arrived.
In Tamago's study, Yu ManLou looked at the jade pendant on his table with a gloomy expression. In front of him, a few leaders stood respectfully without saying a single word. The leader of the guards lowered his head with a pale face. Beads of sweat could be seen on his forehead, but he did not dare to raise his hand to wipe it off.
That broken piece of jade was almost completely pieced together on the desk. One could vaguely see the faint pattern on it, which looked like a vast expanse of waves. At the very bottom, a line of small words was carved with iron strokes and silver hooks: Soft as water!
If Shui QianRou was here, she would definitely recognize that this jade pendant was the heirloom of the Shui Family that she had fallen into Ling Tian's hands, the Heaven's Heart Jade!
While Shui QianRou was not here, there was no lack of people who could recognize this jade pendant.
"Does anyone have any impression of this jade pendant? Feel free to speak frankly. " Yu ManLou pointed at the Heaven's Heart Jade that was already broken into dozens of pieces and asked calmly.
"It seems … it seems … that the jade pendant of little princess BingYan is similar to this jade pendant! This subordinate remembers the scene of little princess running around the courtyard with a strange jade pendant when she was young. It vaguely resembles this jade pendant. That's right, it looks exactly the same. " A black-robed fatty stretched out his neck with difficulty and carefully examined the jade pendant before confirming.
"That's right!" Yu ManLou nodded his head, "The jade pendant of BingYan is such a precious jade. It is the heirloom of my Tamago family and has been passed down for close to a thousand years. A thousand years ago, the two great clans led their experts to battle for the first time on Mount Vacant. On that mountain, our two Clan Masters fought to the end, and both of us fell into a cave. In the cave, there was a skeleton. According to the words left on the stone wall, it was actually the skeleton of the Wulin Monarch Wu Hui. Next to it were two identical jade pendants. One of them had a few clouds engraved with the words' Smooth as Clouds'. The other one had a vast river engraved with the same words. "
Yu ManLou stopped talking and looked around. "This is the 'Gentle as Water'. The secret behind this jade pendant is only known to the two family heads. Even the owner of the jade pendant is not an exception. For example, although BingYan knows that the jade pendant she wears is extremely precious, she does not know its origins."
Everyone was enlightened! The matter that Yu ManLou spoke of was a secret from a thousand years ago, and it was a secret that only the Family Head had the right to know. Before this, no one had heard of it, and only now did they know that the jade pendant that the little princess of the Yu Family wore around her neck had such a history.
Yu ManLou continued, "At the place where the jade pendant was placed, there were sixteen words engraved on the stone wall: 'Separate the two jades, all lives will be plunged into misery; when the two jades return to one, the world will be unified!' Other than that, there were no other traces. When they saw the words' the world will be unified ', the ancestors of the Shui Family and the ancestors of the Shui Family went forward to fight for it. However, their strengths were similar and they could only snatch one jade pendant each. "
Everyone thought in their hearts: Not to mention the two seniors, even if it was anyone else in the world, they would not be able to resist fighting for the jade pendant. The world will be unified! What a great temptation these four words are!
"In the end, both of them were like oil lamps that had run out of oil. Knowing that if they continued to fight, both of them would be defeated and neither of them would be spared. Thus, both of them had no choice but to give up. They agreed that ten years later, both of our families would have a competition to determine the ownership of the jade pendant. The loser would have to hand over the jade pendant. "
"However, both of them were too heavily injured. When they returned to their respective families, they hurriedly gave their last words to their respective family heads before they passed away. Thus, our Shui Family and Jade Family became complete enemies! After that, the Beyond Heavens and Beyond Heavens joined forces to pressure us. After finding out about the secret of the jade pendant, the competition between the two families was changed to once every sixty years. The winner would have the right to have the other jade pendant for ten years. If they were still unable to comprehend the secret after ten years, the jade pendant would be returned to the original owner and the victor would be decided in the next sixty years! If either side does not abide by the agreement and tries to take over the jade pendant, the Beyond Heavens and Beyond Heavens will join forces to uphold justice. "
"The struggle for the jade pendant is between us and the Shui Family. Why should they interfere? The Mystical Sect is truly tyrannical! Serves them right that the Beyond Heavens was annihilated. If the Martial Order Medallion owner fails to kill Ling Tian, let's see if they still have the qualifications to call themselves the number one sect in the world! "A few Tamago Elders grumbled.
Yu Manlou laughed bitterly. "Strength is everything. My Tamago Family has stood tall in the Heavenly Star Continent for over a thousand years and is the number one family in the Heavenly Star Continent. The reason why the Beyond Heavens was annihilated was because their strength did not match their status! It is a pity that the strength of the Beyond Heavens is still too strong. Elder Yu ChaoChen, the publicly acknowledged number one martial arts genius of our Tamago for the past three hundred years, died in the hands of an expert from the Beyond Heavens! "
"Elder Yu ChaoChen was a heaven-defying genius. He might have been killed by the people from the Beyond Heavens on that day. They actually sent a fortune teller to bring his corpse back. This is obviously a show of force. If not for the fact that the family head instructed us not to act rashly, we would have long dismembered that poor man!" A Tamago Elder said.
"That is not the case. The First Elder and I have examined Elder Yu ChaoChen's corpse and found that he was killed by someone alone. On his corpse, there were two identical palm prints. One on the left and one on the right, and both of his ribs were broken. Furthermore, Elder Yu ChaoChen's clothes were neat and tidy, and even his hair was not messy. From this, it can be seen that the battle did not even last ten moves! What kind of frightening strength is this?! To think that there is someone with such frightening strength in the world! "Yu ManLou's words revealed a trace of fear.
"Less than ten moves?! How is that possible?! "Everyone was dumbfounded!
"Thus, from the moment I received news of the Martial Order Medallion from Wei Chengping, I was certain that Ling Tian would definitely die. There should not be anyone in the world who would be able to escape from the pursuit of the Martial Order Medallion owner! Thus, before we have sufficient strength, Beyond Heavens will always be our taboo! "Yu ManLou said decisively.
"Returning to the main topic, in the past thousand years, these two jade pendants have been exchanged between our Shui and Yu Families, but no one has been able to discover the secret within them. As time passed, we all thought that this was just a joke played by Jun WuHui to the later generations. Thus, for the past three hundred years, the battle between the two families has become a simple battle of victory and defeat. Even the winner has never asked for the jade pendant again. However, it has been passed down as a family heirloom. Because this jade is a special kind of warm jade, it is very beneficial to people with weak bodies. Thus, I bestowed it to BingYan. Because the generational battle is approaching, this old man suddenly thought of this story. Thus, we had already agreed five years ago that this jade pendant would be added as the wager for the generational battle. This old man originally thought that the secret that no one in the past was able to unravel would definitely be revealed by our Tamago. To think that before the battle even started, this jade pendant would already be placed on my table. "Yu ManLou laughed bitterly," To think that it has already been shattered. "
"Does Family Head really believe that this is the jade pendant of the Shui Family?" The Head Deacon stroked his white beard and said with a frown, "In this old man's opinion, it might not be so."
"Oh? Why does Head Deacon think so? "
"This old man thinks that since it is such an important item, how would the Shui Family throw it out so easily? Furthermore, if this is really the jade pendant, if we are unable to unravel the secret after ten years, we will return it to its rightful owner. Why would the black-robed man destroy this family heirloom? Isn't this harming others without benefiting himself? "The Head Deacon shook his head and said," This old man thinks that there might be a trap in this jade pendant? "
