Yang Fan was also very curious about this question.
Why did the Cao Clan imprison Mu Mototada but not kill him? Why did they even specially create such a secret room in the treasury for him?
This was very illogical, wasn't it?
If they were mortal enemies, they could just kill him directly.
Even if they didn't want Mu Mototada to die too comfortably, they could still vent their anger after tormenting him for a year or two. However, the Cao Clan tormenting Mu Mototada for thirty-two years in a row was a bit abnormal.
How big of a grudge did Cao Jiaxun and Cao Kuohai hate Mu Mototada so much?
"I admit that I have never offended your Cao Clan. The Cao and Mu Clans have never had any conflicts of interest. I really don't understand why you would target our Mu Clan back then and even imprison I for thirty-two years in a row?!"
The more Mu Mototada thought about it, the more indignant he became.
He had thought about this question for thirty-two years and still didn't have a definite answer.
Cao Jiaxun lightly glanced at Mu Mototada. A trace of intense greed appeared in his eyes.
"There's no harm in telling you. After all, the two of you are more or less dead."
Cao Jiaxun indifferently said, "That's right. Your Mu Clan has never offended our Cao Clan. You also don't have any conflicts of interest or hatred with our Cao Clan."
"The reason why we treated your Mu Clan that way back then is not for anything else but for you, Mu Mototada."
"Me?" Mu Mototada had a dumbfounded expression. "What's there to remember about me? I was only a little level seven Martial Emperor back then. I'm not a threat or influence to your Cao Clan's position as the number one aristocratic family."
Thinking back to the gaze Cao Jiaxun gave him earlier, within the greed, there was an endless desire to possess. It was a disgusting look as if he wanted to eat him up.
Mu Mototada couldn't help but take a step back. "I'm not gay. You've found the wrong person!"
Cao Jiaxun's face darkened.
Fuck you!
I'm not gay either, okay?
"Your spiritual frequencies are extremely similar!"
Yang Fan's gaze swept across Mu Mototada and Cao Jiaxun. He whispered to Mu Mototada, "If I'm not wrong, he must have taken a fancy to your body and wants to use the same trick to replace you!"
Yang Fan had only just discovered this point, especially when he saw the greed in Cao Jiaxun's eyes when he looked at Mu Mototada. This confirmed Yang Fan's conjecture.
Perhaps, the real Cao Jiaxun had been possessed by Gui Tongtian in the same way.
"That's right!" Cao Jiaxun looked at Yang Fan in admiration. "As expected of the only Emperor-level doctor and Emperor-level necromancer in the Federation. Your soul perception is so sharp that it makes people jealous."
After saying that, Cao Jiaxun looked at Mu Mototada's tall and straight body with great greed. He raised his hand slightly and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
"Look, look, look, what a perfect body proportions, what a full and vast spiritual sea … thirty-two years ago, when this old man saw this body for the first time, I fell in love with it at first glance and could never forget it!"
"This is definitely the best gift that the heavens have given me!"
Mu Mototada shuddered.
He was disgusted by the greedy eyes of this old fart and the way he described it as if it was his first love.
It turned out that as early as the first time he met Cao Jiaxun, this old fart had already been coveting his perfect body.
"If that's the case, why have you waited for so many years and still refused to possess Senior Mu's body?"
Yang Fan sized up the condition of Cao Jiaxun's body. He was seriously injured and his strength was seriously out of control. To be able to maintain his current state of cultivation, which was as thin as a stick, was only forcefully holding on.
"That's because his cultivation was too weak at the time, and I's body could still hold on for a while longer."
Cao Jiaxun said, "In the end, he's just a substitute reserve for I. Once I's current body can't withstand the fierce conflict between demonic power cultivation and blood qi cultivation, it won't be too late for I to find him to replace him."
"After all, I's current body was cultivated bit by bit when I was still weak. It's extremely compatible with I. Unless it was absolutely necessary, I wouldn't want to give it up."
"So, I've waited for 32 years."
"Now, the potential of I's body has reached its limit. It's time to change to a younger body with more potential!"
Cao Jiaxun's current body was seriously suffering from Qigong Deviation. In the past year, he had been in a deep sleep and self-recuperating most of the time.
So, when Yang Fan sneaked into the Cao Clan's treasury and took all the treasures in it, even rescuing Mu Mototada, who had been imprisoned in the depths of the treasury, Cao Jiaxun didn't realize it in time.
If it weren't for Mu Mototada killing the six peak Martial Kings of the Cao Clan, causing a commotion in the mansion, Cao Jiaxun might still be in a daze.
"Alright, it's about time. It's time to send you on your way!"
Cao Jiaxun's lips curled up slightly. His originally skeletal face looked even more ghostly when he smiled.
He didn't ask how Yang Fan had rescued Mu Mototada from the Green Jade Futon, nor did he ask where Yang Fan had placed the Green Jade Futon that he had asked for from the Phoenix Demon Emperor.
Because none of that was important. As long as he could kill Yang Fan and Mu Mototada, as long as he could successfully devour Mu Mototada's Soul Source and replace it, all of this would no longer be a problem.
Yang Fan and Mu Mototada were both on guard.
They saw Cao Jiaxun gently wave his right hand.
They saw Cao Jiaxun put his right hand down again.
Then they saw Cao Jiaxun gently wave his left hand again.
Then they saw Cao Jiaxun put his left hand down again.
Wave after wave of extremely strong spatial fluctuations surged, but nothing happened.
Mu Mototada and Yang Fan didn't see any of the so-called ultimate moves or killing moves that they had imagined. They didn't feel the slightest bit of attack on their bodies or their spiritual sea.
Cao Jiaxun's expression changed slightly. This was a little different from what he had expected.
What he had just used was a Space Divine Ability. Logically speaking, with just this one move, he should have been able to pull both Yang and Mu into the Space Battlefield he had opened up. Why was there no reaction at all?
"You actually set up a spatial isolation formation outside my Cao Residence?!"
Cao Jiaxun scanned with his Divine Thought and quickly found the reason.
The Heaven and Earth Concealing Formation and the Evil Slaying Formation.
These two had actually set up two sets of Heaven-level formations outside the Cao Residence in advance. They were really well-prepared.
From the looks of it, they were determined to seize this opportunity to destroy the Cao Clan in the capital!
Cao Jiaxun's eyes were filled with killing intent.
Although he was possessed by a demon spirit and could not be considered a pure human, the descendants he had raised in the human race for so many years could all be considered his own flesh and blood. He had feelings for all of them.
He would never allow anyone to slaughter the people of the Cao Clan in front of him!
"Stop talking nonsense! Why don't we just do it? "
Mu Mototada cursed. Without waiting for Cao Jiaxun to make another move, he actually took the initiative to attack.
He was also a half-step Emperor, and he wasn't blind. At a glance, he could see that Cao Jiaxun's body was on the verge of collapse. Cao Jiaxun was actually puffing himself up at his own cost.
What he wanted to do now was to ruthlessly kick this pretentious criminal to the ground and step on him!
Boom!
The two palms collided, and the force radiated in all directions.
Yang Fan's position was specially protected by Mu Mototada, so he wasn't affected very much. However, in other directions, all the secret rooms and formations within a radius of 20 meters were shattered into pieces by the force of this palm strike.
This was still a probing attack launched by Mu Mototada and Cao Jiaxun. Otherwise, the power would be even greater.
Yang Fan retreated quickly and cautiously, lest he be implicated if the two big shots were to really get into a fight.
After the palm strike, Cao Jiaxun didn't move, but Mu Mototada retreated nearly 10 steps. His face was pale, and it seemed that he had suffered a great loss.
"Hmph!" Cao Jiaxun snorted coldly and looked at Mu Mototada contemptuously. "A rookie who has the strength of a half-step Emperor but doesn't have the corresponding skills and combat experience actually wants to be I's opponent? You're overestimating yourself! "
After saying that, Cao Jiaxun opened his mouth and took a deep breath.
Then, his skinny skeleton body swelled up like a balloon. In the blink of an eye, he turned from an ugly person to a handsome, fair-skinned, old man.
At the same time, his aura suddenly more than doubled. In an instant, Mu Mototada and Yang Fan, who had retreated hundreds of meters away, were suppressed to the point that they couldn't raise their heads.
"You've been affected by the emperor-level pressure of the half-step Emperor (Heavily Injured) Cao Jiaxun (Heavenly Turtle). Your heart has been touched, but because you're not strong enough, you can't fully comprehend the emperor-level pressure. Your King's Aura has evolved and been greatly strengthened. Strength + 80, Physique + 80, Agility + 80, Qi and Blood + 50000, Mental Power + 300.
"You've absorbed a trace of the Emperor's Will of the half-step Emperor (Heavily Injured) Cao Jiaxun (Heavenly Turtle). Your heart has been touched, and your King's Aura has been greatly strengthened. Strength + 80, Physique + 80, Agility + 80, Qi and Blood + 50000, Mental Power + 300."
While feeling the endless pressure, Yang Fan's ears were also filled with system notifications. His physique and various cultivation attributes also soared rapidly in an instant.
It was painful and happy.
This was Yang Fan's deepest understanding at the moment.
"F * ck! He can transform?! "
While Mu Mototada resisted with all his strength, his expression changed slightly. He never thought that Cao Jiaxun would have such a trick up his sleeve.
Now, things seemed to be a little troublesome.
It seemed like he couldn't win!
