Even that time in Lihen Heaven was not as hopeless as this time, because when facing Gongsun Boyue, he at least had the right to choose to perish together with him.
The right to choose was the most basic safeguard in this world. When you still had a choice, at least you would not be in despair.
Lone Eagle waved the knife-scarred man away and slowly walked into the cell. He left the fire behind him and blended into the shadows. Just standing there, even without any expression, was eerie and terrifying enough.
Of course, his face was not without expression. Naturally, it was not the arrogance of a victor. It was as if he was savoring something. If one looked closely, they would see worms crawling on his face, like a rotten zombie.
One of the eyeballs had even fallen off. It looked very strange.
"Is it interesting?" Yan Li said coldly.
Lone Eagle slowly reached out and took off his hood, revealing his original face. He smiled and said, "You see, I just hope to talk in a friendly atmosphere, so I made a harmless joke with you."
"I killed your 'childhood friend', and you still want to talk!" Yan Li said sarcastically.
"Using any unit in this world as a bargaining chip," Lone Eagle said with a smile, "Then whether it is our own or our friends' life and death, they are all things that can be treated as equivalent. Based on the principle of equivalent exchange, the secret hidden in your body and the threat I posed to your life have reached an equivalent exchange condition. "
"You see, I'm not an unreasonable person. You don't have to hate me so much. Maybe if we share the secret, we can still become friends. "
A person could hide his heart so deeply that no one had noticed anything before. It was as if he had suddenly become a different person. The change was so sudden that it was dizzying.
"What do you want from me?" Yan Li said.
"Dharma," Lone Eagle said.
"Dharma?" Yan Li said.
"You definitely have more than one secret art," Lone Eagle said.
"Oh?" Yan Li said.
"What I want is not the Hidden Sword Chant," Lone Eagle said.
"What if I say I don't have it?" Yan Li said.
"Impossible," Lone Eagle said.
"Why not?" Yan Li asked.
Lone Eagle said, "I've studied you."
"So what?" Yan Li said.
Lone Eagle said indifferently, "With your current strength, apart from those geniuses on the Prodigy Roll, no one can pose a threat to you."
He smiled confidently. "To reach this stage, one must have a powerful absolute art, outstanding aptitude, and a strong heart. None of these can be missing. What kind of powerful absolute art was that? There are very few absolute arts in the Jambu Realm, and I know them like the back of my hand. I have even studied the demon race's holy book, the Life and Death Seal Art. I am confident that I can recognize it with one look. "
"None of it is on you." He smiled slyly. "It's not any absolute art, but it's stronger than any absolute art. There's only one possibility."
"What possibility?" Yan Li's heart skipped a beat.
"Grand White Sword Scripture!" Lone Eagle said fervently.
Yan Li narrowed his eyes. At this moment when he was exposed, he actually calmed down. "I've disappointed you."
"My judgment is never wrong." Lone Eagle's emotions immediately calmed down. "Your reaction is also within my expectations. Thinking about it, no matter who obtained the first of the Five Great Absolute Arts, they would never admit it. Originally, I had hoped that you would say it yourself. Then we could study it together and improve together. That would be a wonderful thing. "
Yan Li sneered. "I don't have the Grand White Sword Scripture on me. Even if I did, you wouldn't let me go if I gave it to you. After all, no one would want a second person to know such a secret. And the reason you tried to persuade me was because the worm you mentioned might not succeed. You were afraid that if you failed, you would lose that secret. "
"That's a pity." Lone Eagle slowly took out a jar.
There was obviously something crashing left and right in the jar, giving off a soft muffled sound.
He opened the lid. In front of Yan Li, he saw two red-headed worms wriggling. This was a multi-limbed worm. It had a bright red head that was obviously much larger than its body. However, the entire head only had a mouth full of sharp mouthparts. Its limbs were similar to that of a centipede.
They crawled, looking indescribably horrifying.
Lone Eagle put the worm that was trying to crawl out back into the jar. Then he said lightly, "This is your last chance. If you say it now …"
Before he finished speaking, the knife-scarred man floated back like a ghost. "Those three called a large group of people to cause trouble. They will soon find this place."
"You go and block them." Lone Eagle said coldly. "I only need fifteen minutes."
"Understood." The knife-scarred man left.
Lone Eagle continued, "If you say it now, I can still spare your life."
Yan Li rolled his eyes. "If I say it now, you can still remember it? You should at least give me a pen and paper. Then I can write it for you. "
"I have a pen and paper. Are you sure you won't play tricks?" Lone Eagle said hesitantly.
"My friends are outside. They will find this place soon. Is there a need for me to play tricks?" Yan Li said.
"Your friends will find you soon. Is there a need for you to write to me?" Lone Eagle was still worried.
Yan Li said lightly, "I'm not afraid that you will act in desperation. If you can't get what you want, you might as well kill me."
Lone Eagle's hand was already placed on the leather sheath that locked Yan Li's hands. He was still hesitant. "I advise you not to play tricks. Otherwise …"
"At this point," Yan Li said with a smile. "What other tricks can I play?"
"Hmph!" Lone Eagle said coldly. "I don't think you've lived long enough!"
As he said that, he was about to untie the sheath. However, his face suddenly revealed a sly smile. "You must be very proud. You think that I'm being led by the nose by you again."
"What do you mean?" Yan Li's heart suddenly sank.
"I'm going to destroy your confidence," Ye Futian said coldly. Lone Eagle's face suddenly twisted. Without warning, he opened the jar and placed it under Yan Li's nose. One of the worms immediately burrowed into Yan Li's nose.
All of this happened too suddenly. Before Yan Li could react, he felt a foreign object rushing up his nose and quickly rushed to his scalp.
There was a "boom" in his brain. From the corner of his eye, he saw Lone Eagle walk to the corner of the wall and gently press a certain switch. Then, he turned around and smiled at him. "Only I know this secret compartment."
