The two of them quietly looked at him.
Chu Zhiyuan also calmly looked at them, his extrasensory perception pushed to its limit.
The two were indeed very calm, neither nervous nor excited, as if they had no expectations and didn't care.
Was this strange attitude because there was something wrong with their identities, or was it because of something else?
Did they think he was too weak to pose a threat to Wentian Cliff?
Was finding him not with great anticipation, but just to cause Wentian Cliff a little trouble?
Even a little bit would be good?
He slowly said, "If Wentian Cliff wants to deal with me, I have no power to fight back."
The two hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I am in the inner city of Yujing, protected by the Son of Heaven's Sword."
"It's useless," the chubby middle-aged man shook his head, "What Wentian Cliff is best at is calculating people invisibly."
"Is the martial arts technique of Wentian Cliff the Wentian Sword Manual?"
"That's just a sword technique," the chubby middle-aged man smiled, "The real secret of Wentian Cliff is not the sword technique, but the mental cultivation method."
"Oh?" Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Could it be a miraculous skill that can predict good and bad fortune?"
The two looked at each other.
Chu Zhiyuan noticed a flash of surprise in their eyes.
"Since it can calculate invisibly, then it is not a martial art, because any use of martial arts will leave traces and will be destroyed by the Son of Heaven's Sword." Chu Zhiyuan said, "No matter how strong Wentian Cliff is, it can't stop the Son of Heaven's Sword, right?"
"That's not necessarily true," the other thin middle-aged man snorted.
Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows, "Wentian Cliff has the power to contend with the Son of Heaven's Sword?"
"Not necessarily not," the thin middle-aged man hummed.
Chu Zhiyuan pondered and slowly said, "Da Zhen relies so heavily on Wentian Cliff because it has the power to contend with the Son of Heaven's Sword?"
"The most amazing power of Wentian Cliff is the Wentian Calculation Technique, not the Wentian Sword Manual," the chubby middle-aged man sighed, "It can see through the future and understand the secrets of heaven."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "If it's really that magical, Da Zhen would have been the number one power in the world long ago, right?"
"We speculate that Wentian Cliff can see some fragments of the future," the chubby middle-aged man nodded, "Even so, it's already very powerful. When calculating people, it's impossible to guard against."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
This confirmed his judgment.
He had previously speculated that Wentian Cliff could see through the secrets of heaven and see fragments of the future.
The chubby middle-aged man said, "Although the young master is powerful, if Wentian Cliff can see through the future, how can you defend against it?"
Chu Zhiyuan said, "In that case, is your coming to find me also within their sight?"
"No," the chubby middle-aged man smiled proudly, "Our Heavenly Shadow Sect is the future they cannot see!"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "So they must eliminate you variable at all costs?"
The thin middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "However, with calculation against the unprepared, it's just temporary power."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "You weren't prepared before and were ambushed by them and succeeded... Is the Secret Shadow Sect also a branch of yours?"
"It's not, they are a heretical sect, we Heavenly Shadow Sect are not, but someone deliberately framed us!"
"Wentian Cliff?"
"Wentian Cliff says that our Heavenly Shadow Sect is a heretical sect, so the world believes that our Heavenly Shadow Sect is a heretical sect, saying that our Heavenly Shadow Sect and the Secret Shadow Sect are one, and the world believes that we are one, how ridiculous!"
Both of them showed a look of grief and indignation. Chu Zhiyuan was thoughtful.
What the two of them said was indeed correct, and they obviously weren't lying. However, he didn't directly believe it.
They weren't lying, but that didn't necessarily mean it wasn't a lie.
However, there was indeed no evil aura on the two of them that made him uncomfortable, no murderous aura, and no aura of alien power.
Chu Zhiyuan slowly said, "If I want to defend against Wentian Cliff, what should I do?"
The two revealed smiles.
"The Heavenly Shadow Jade," the thin middle-aged man took out a jade pendant from his bosom, almost identical to the Heavenly Shadow Jade.
Chu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow. Under his illumination, this jade pendant was covered with a dense layer of light, obscuring its original appearance.
Chu Zhiyuan glanced at the Heavenly Shadow Jade in front of him on the table, and then looked at the Heavenly Shadow Jade opposite him.
There were still subtle differences between the two.
"This is the Heavenly Shadow Jade. Wearing this jade will naturally avoid the prying eyes of Wentian Cliff."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled, took out an object from his sleeve, a round black bead, dull and unadorned.
He handed the bead to the two of them, "Can this thing block the secrets of heaven?"
They looked at it in surprise.
They cultivated the Heavenly Shadow Technique and were extremely sensitive to things that could block aura and energy.
They immediately felt the difference in the black bead.
The thin middle-aged man took the bead, closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again, and slowly said, "It seems we came for nothing."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "What is this thing?"
He wasn't worried that the two would snatch it and leave. He had already refined it and could sense its existence at all times.
The thin middle-aged man handed it to the chubby middle-aged man.
The chubby middle-aged man also closed his eyes for a moment and looked at Chu Zhiyuan with emotion, "Young Master, this is the Returning Silence Bead. No wonder the young master has been smooth sailing and hasn't been plotted against by Wentian Cliff. It's because you have this bead to protect you."
"What is the origin of this Returning Silence Bead?" Chu Zhiyuan asked curiously, "I obtained it unintentionally, but I don't know its origin."
This bead was obtained from Zhou Tianqi.
And Zhou Tianqi had the inheritance of the Jade Cauldron Sect, an inheritance obtained unintentionally. So the origin of this bead became a mystery.
"This bead is said to have come from beyond the heavens. Speaking of which, it also has some connection with our Heavenly Shadow Sect."
"Oh?"
"This bead was originally the treasure of the Thousand Ze Sect, but unfortunately, the Thousand Ze Sect was destroyed, and the bead disappeared. It turns out it was obtained by the young master."
Chu Zhiyuan raised a sword-like eyebrow.
"Our Heavenly Shadow Sect has some connection with the Thousand Ze Sect and has been investigating the cause of the Thousand Ze Sect's destruction."
"Have you found anything?"
"It should have been destroyed by the experts of the Jade Cauldron Sect," the chubby middle-aged man gritted his teeth and sneered, "Destroying a sect overnight, leaving no one alive, this is the method of these heretical sects of the Jade Cauldron Sect!"
The experts of the Jade Cauldron Sect destroyed the Thousand Ze Sect, and Chu Zhiyuan killed the experts of the Jade Cauldron Sect, thereby obtaining this Returning Silence Bead.
"So, Young Master, killing the Jade Cauldron Sect and the Secret Shadow Sect is truly a good thing to do!"
"Was the previous assassination of Cheng Tianfeng really done by you?"
"Not us," the chubby middle-aged man shook his head, "It was done by experts of the Secret Shadow Sect."
The thin middle-aged man said coldly, "The Secret Shadow Sect and our Heavenly Shadow Sect are not the same at all. The martial arts techniques are also completely different. To say that the Secret Shadow Sect is our Heavenly Shadow Sect is really telling lies with your eyes open!"
The chubby middle-aged man said, "This is the method of Wentian Cliff. They smear our Heavenly Shadow Sect at every opportunity!"
Chu Zhiyuan remained noncommittal.
He had never fully believed what the two of them said, but knowing the origin of this black bead was a gain.
The thin middle-aged man took back the Heavenly Shadow Jade and glanced at the Heavenly Shadow Jade on Chu Zhiyuan's waist, "It's best to put away this jade pendant. If Wentian Cliff sees it, it will only incur Wentian Cliff's hatred."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Wentian Cliff hates you so much?"
"Because we have ruined too many of their plans," the chubby middle-aged man smiled, "Of course they hate us to the bone, but they can't catch us."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Then what weaknesses does Wentian Cliff have?"
