Jackdaw's Conjecture
Atop the mountain range, the Xuan-Yuan Sword and its sword spirit shone with dazzling golden light. However, compared to when it destroyed Yin Hu's dharma body, it was a little more restrained.
The golden light swirled around the sword and its spirit. As Yin Hu and Chen Jiannan looked at them, they used their divine senses to lock onto each other, afraid that the other would seize the initiative.
Jackdaw's point of view made Chen Jiannan knit his brows. He was rather interested in Jackdaw's strange point of view.
"Brother Jackdaw, why would you think that?"
"Don't listen to his nonsense," snorted Yin Hu, his expression dark and sullen. It seemed he was still angry that Jackdaw had slandered the yao race.
"In the Demon Race, there are too many people like you who don't think before doing anything. That's why people think that you Demon Race are barbaric and unintelligent."
Jackdaw's words had reached a certain level of sharpness. Just a second ago, Yin Hu had slandered him, but a second later, Jackdaw's words hit the nail on the head and rebuked him.
As soon as these words came out, most of the people in the Demon Race revealed looks of terror.
They'd come with Yin Hu, and now, Yin Hu's reputation had risen. All the demons present knew his character very well. Even those of the Human Clan who were familiar with him changed their expressions. They were worried that he would act on impulse before the Xuanyuan Sword was fully unsheathed.
Everyone here knew full well that once the Xuan-Yuan Sword appeared, they'd fight over it.
It wasn't just the other two sides. Even their own factions were here for different masters. In the end, they could all become enemies.
Fighting was inevitable, but no one wanted to break this balance before the Xuan-Yuan Sword emerged from the mountain.
Chen Jiannan glared at Jackdaw, a little annoyed at his blabbermouth. Then, he walked over to Yin Hu, hoping he'd calm down a little.
To everyone's surprise, after Yin Hu's expression changed dramatically, he unclenched his fists and snorted with a fake smile.
"Then why don't you tell me who the sword is waiting for? Are you going to tell me it's already chosen a master? In that case, why don't we try it out separately? Let's see who's the one who can take it out first! "
Chen Jiannan couldn't help but look at Yin Hu in a new light when he gave up. He was famous among the Yao race for his fiery temper.
It seemed that after so many years, not only had his strength improved by leaps and bounds, his shrewdness had also improved greatly.
Before coming here, Chen Jiannan only viewed Jackdaw as an opponent. Yin Hu's actions forced him to take him seriously.
"He actually endured it."
Jackdaw was a little surprised by Yin Hu's reaction. He'd said all that on purpose.
He really couldn't tolerate this kind of "peace" right now. If he took the initiative to stir up trouble, he would inevitably become the target of gossip when he returned. He had wanted to use Yin Hu's rage to break the boring balance in the arena.
Unexpectedly, Yin Hu managed to restrain himself.
Jackdaw inwardly cursed himself for being bored. He licked his teeth and replied somewhat arrogantly.
"Don't you know whether the Xuan-Yuan Sword has chosen a master or not? Don't you know whose weapon this Xuan-Yuan Sword belongs to? Don't tell me … this is a must, okay? You even have the gall to try it out one by one? Don't tell me the Yellow Emperor of the Xuan-Yuan Clan reincarnated into your yao race? Come on, drag him out and let me see just which good-for-nothing bastard is willing to be your little brother! "
Yin Hu's expression shifted. Just now, he'd endured Jackdaw's rebuke, and his heart was already burning with rage. Now, he was on the verge of collapse.
In his fury, Yin Hu didn't understand the deeper meaning behind Jackdaw's words. All he knew was that Jackdaw was indirectly cursing him. Chen Jiannan, on the other hand, understood. He couldn't help but knit his brows.
"Brother Jackdaw, are you saying that the Xuan-Yuan Sword is waiting for the Yellow Emperor's reincarnation? But if my information is correct, Ye Zichen, the ninth reincarnation of the Xuanyuan Clan's Yellow Emperor, fought the vicious Denglong a hundred years ago. He used his divine artifacts, the Xuanyuan Sword, Soul Pearl Yiyuan, and his own soul to seal it. Right now, a part of Denglong's soul is suppressed beneath this mountain range. "
"If he can reincarnate nine times, can't he reincarnate ten times?"
Jackdaw's words left both Chen Jiannan and Yin Hu speechless.
"You might say that without a soul, there's no way to reincarnate. But when it comes to understanding souls, you humans and yao dare say you understand them better than us demons. "
Chen Jiannan and the others were stunned speechless by the Jackdaw's words. They stared at the antennae on the Jackdaw's head. The antennae on the Jackdaw's head swayed back and forth.
"Although Yin Hu's brain isn't very good, in terms of strength, he's no weaker than you or me. In fact, he's a bit stronger. You and I both know this."
Chen Jiannan nodded. Even though Yin Hu was about to explode in anger at Jackdaw's praise, after hearing Jackdaw's flattery, he calmed down and rubbed his nose proudly.
"If even he can't break the barrier, then we naturally can't either. No one here can break it. We're all ninth-stage sky supremes. If we can't break it, do you think a diviner will come down? If a diviner really could break it, the higher-ups wouldn't have sent us here, would they? "
"What's more, the Xuan-Yuan Sword naturally has its reasons for being the number one divine artifact of the ancient times. Even the Eastern Emperor Bell waits for the Eastern Emperor, so why can't the Xuan-Yuan Sword wait for its master, the Yellow Emperor? "
Even if Yin Hu's brain wasn't very good, he understood what Jackdaw was trying to say. Chen Jiannan understood even better.
What Jackdaw was trying to say was that even a diviner wouldn't be able to break the barrier. All they could do was wait ….
Perhaps the Xuan-Yuan Sword's master would appear and they'd fight over it.
"For now, let's just sit here and wait. Once the master of the Xuan-Yuan Sword appears, we'll be able to get to work. " Jackdaw shrugged, then narrowed his eyes. "Of course, if you want to make a move ahead of time and reduce each other's strength, I'll raise both hands in approval."
When they saw his excited expression, Chen Jiannan and Yin Hu curled their lips in speechlessness.
Jackdaw was a madman. Others might pay attention to their own safety in a fight, but he was willing to throw his life away and enjoy the thrill of battle.
Even Yin Hu, who Jackdaw said was stronger than him and Chen Jiannan, rubbed his nose resentfully. He didn't even look Jackdaw in the eye.
"How boring."
Jackdaw, who'd been itching for a fight, was snubbed by Chen Jiannan and the others. Bored, he sighed and returned to the demons' territory.
When Chen Jiannan and Yin Hu saw him leave, they sighed with relief. Their gazes fell on the mountain range, fixed on the number one divine artifact on the rankings.
