Chapter 1023: [734] Son of the Plane (First update for monthly ticket)_3 Chapter 1023: [734] Son of the Plane (First update for monthly ticket)_3 The old man clapped his hand over Chen Tianzong’s mouth, preventing him from making any sound and whispered a message meant only for the two of them, “I want to live too, so hand over your treasure to me. In the future, I’ll burn even more paper offerings for you every year. Go in peace.”
“You!!!!”
Chen Tianzong’s eyes widened with disbelief. The next second, he was stabbed several times and fell to the ground, lifeless.
A moment later.
The young man in black returned with his companions.
The companion asked loudly and urgently, “You didn’t find anything here?”
The old man quickly bent down, “This lowly one didn’t see Chen Tianzong. He must still be hiding in these mountains. There are two peaks and tens of thousands of trees here, with a great river lying between the two mountains. It’s very likely that Chen Tianzong followed the river eastward…”
“This guy actually managed to escape my search. Damn it, I’ll have the area sealed off right away!” the companion said hastily.
But he was quickly stopped by the young man in black.
“What’s wrong, Senior Brother?” the companion asked, puzzled.
“This Chen Tianzong is adept at blending truth with deceit. He probably let people believe he would take the river, but in reality…”
His companion had a sudden realization.
The old man’s heart tensed up, “But…”
The young man in black looked at him and smiled faintly, “The bloodstains on the ground haven’t been cleaned properly.”
“What?” the old man hurriedly looked at where Chen Tianzong had died, only to suddenly realize he had been tricked.
“Not good!”
He tried to flee.
However, the magic artifact in the young man’s hand had already struck him.
The old man spat out blood and was sent flying backward, rolling onto the ground, and cried out loudly, “I was wrong, Senior, I know I was wrong, don’t kill me, please don’t kill me…”
By now, the companion standing on the other side was completely stunned, looking at the young man in black in awe, “Senior Brother, you could even discern this?”
“It was just a ruse, but I didn’t expect it to actually work,” the young man in black said with a faint smile.
He stepped forward.
He took the Lotus Treasure Mirror that the old man offered with both hands.
“Is this the prized treasure Chen Tianzong spoke of?”
The old man hastily affirmed, not daring to harbor any undue thoughts, “I found only this treasure on Chen Tianzong’s body; all his other possessions were truly gone.”
“Where’s the body?”
The companion came over and asked sternly.
The old man knelt on the ground, silenced by fear, “I… I threw it off a cliff.”
“You!!!” The young man wished he could strike him down with his sword but held back with great effort and looked at the young man in black, “Senior Brother, what should we do now?”
“We can go back now.”
The young man in black, holding the Lotus Treasure Mirror, secretly activated the Power of the Star but didn’t notice anything unusual. He hesitated for a moment but decided not to delay any longer.
He glanced sideways.
He signaled his junior brother with his eyes.
The junior brother understood, taking the old man away, and not long after, a scream could be heard.
It was at that moment.
The young man in black suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
He quickly took out the Lotus Treasure Mirror.
A line of text appeared on it…
“”Innate Blood Seizure Gong”, assimilating the Vitality of heaven and earth…”
The young man in black’s eyes lit up slightly as he muttered to himself, “No wonder when I fought with Chen Tianzong before, I felt his Vitality was far beyond ordinary… I thought it was innate to Chen Tianzong, but it was due to this cultivation technique.”
His gaze flickered for a moment.
He wanted to probe further.
Yet, he found himself unable to cultivate and looked on in astonishment.
New words slowly emerged on the Lotus Mirror.
“To view the subsequent Cultivation Techniques, one must offer the ‘Power of the Stars’ in exchange.”
The young man in black pondered, then took out a jade slip from his Storage Bag, muttering to himself, “This Technique is called the ‘Taiyi Star Mastery Technique.’ By cultivating it, one can imbue the ‘Power of the Stars’ into a Magic Artifact or combat skills. It is a Technique exclusive to the Inhouse Disciples of the Xuan Yin Sect. Exchanging it for your ‘Innate Blood Seizure Gong’ should suffice.”
The Lotus Mirror began to glow, enveloping the ‘Taiyi Star Mastery Technique.’
It wasn’t long before lines of small characters appeared.
However, before the young man in black had a chance to examine them, his companion had already returned from the distance. The young man quickly tucked away the Lotus Mirror and casually looked over, “Is it taken care of?”
“It’s done. This guy even had a few tricks up his sleeve, but thankfully, senior brother, your insight was as clear as fire, seeing right through his poor acting,” the young man said with a smile, his eyes quickly darting about as he spoke in a hushed tone, “Senior brother, what exactly is the treasure that Chen Tianzong talked about?”
“It’s nothing but nonsense,” the young man in black spoke indifferently. “He clearly intended to confuse us by throwing out that bait.”
“This…” The young man hesitated, surprised by the decisive response of the man in black. He opened his mouth, somewhat incredulous, “Chen Tianzong seemed very certain. Maybe we just haven’t discovered it yet. If we hand it over to the Elder, there might be…”
The young man suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief, “Senior brother–you–”
The young man in black expressionlessly drew out the knife. It was the old man’s knife, which had somehow ended up in his hands.
With an emotionless face, he stabbed again, mercilessly saying, “I could have spared your life, but unfortunately… you talk too much.”
He pulled out the knife.
Gently, he pushed.
The young man’s eyes bulged, and he fell straight down.
It wasn’t long before a mournful cry echoed through the forest.
“Junior brother!!! I will kill you to avenge my junior brother!”
…
…
“Tsks, that guy is quite ruthless.”
Pei Jinye silently watched the scene.
He was not surprised that Chen Tianzong would die. The cruelty of this world, where the strong prey on the weak, far exceeded that of the Federation. In the absence of law, anyone could fail to see the morning of the next day.
Chen Tianzong was not powerful, so his death was normal.
As for these two disciples of the Xuan Yin Sect…
The ruthlessness of the young man in black caught Pei Jinye’s attention.
“Such a person has a meticulous mind and is ruthless enough, decisive in action… a vicious person capable of achieving great things. Given the opportunity, he could bring me benefits far beyond the useless Chen Tianzong.”
“Well then…”
“I’ll gladly accept the ‘Taiyi Star Mastery Technique.''”
…
…
The Elder of the Xuan Yin Sect looked at the body of the young man with an ugly expression.

Across from him, the young man in black bore bloodstains on his face and knelt to one side, lamenting, “It’s my incompetence, I failed to take good care of my junior brother. I did not expect Luo Jifei to turn on us at the last moment; I only regret letting him die too easily!”
“You did well in eradicating Chen Tianzong, but your junior brother’s death also has something to do with you. You are punished to face the wall for one day; do you have any objections?”
“I have no objections,” the young man in black accepted the command and withdrew. Once he reached the rear mountain to face the wall, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Taking advantage of the solitude,
He took out the Lotus Mirror, his face showing an increasingly evident look of madness.
“All of this is worth it!”
