Everyone around was curious.
What exactly was the condition Yang Xiao drew that caused even these two seasoned figures, Yang Xiao and Yin Tianzheng, to change their expressions drastically?
After a moment of silence, Yang Xiao did not show the contents of the note to Chen Yan, but instead tentatively asked, "Master Chen, could you please change the conditions? This condition is too difficult for me."
Chen Yan smiled and said, "I'm sorry, my fortune-telling shop is a small business, so there's no such thing as changing conditions."
"But……"
Yang Xiao frowned, as if he wanted to say something more.
At this moment, Chen Yan's expression turned cold, and he said in a low voice, "Yang Xiao, no one in this shop has ever dared to haggle! You... you've got some nerve!!"
His final words, "He's very bold," sounded unremarkable to onlookers.
But to Yang Xiao, it was like a thunderclap from a clear sky; he felt an overwhelming and irresistible surge of true energy rushing toward his chest.
Every word seemed to strike his heart, causing his heartbeat to change with the four words "Chen Yan"!
A single word was like a giant hammer, striking Yang Xiao's heart hard!
Each word made him take a step back and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Chen Yan's four words made him take four steps back and spit out four mouthfuls of blood!
Instantly.
His face, which had been healthy just moments before, suddenly turned as pale as paper, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness!
Yang Xiao was horrified.
Only then did I realize that the rumors about Chen Yan were all true.
Master Chen is not only omniscient, but also unfathomably powerful. In fact, no one has ever been able to make Master Chen use his full strength!
"Just four words were enough to defeat me. His strength is even more unfathomable than that of the former leader of the Yang Cult!"
Yang Xiao's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and there was no longer any arrogance in his eyes.
Yang Xiao was originally extremely arrogant. When he snatched the Yitian Sword from the Emei Sect, he casually threw it away and sneered, "This is the Yitian Sword? It's just a piece of scrap metal!"
The fact that he could casually discard the Heaven-Slaying Sword shows how arrogant he was.
But now, in front of Chen Yan, he finally suffered a loss...
They still suffered a huge loss without any chance to fight back!
His pride vanished, and he dared not haggle any further.
With a sudden, intense grit of his teeth, as if he had made an extremely strong decision, he clenched his right fist and struck his left shoulder with a powerful blow.
There was only a crisp sound of "click".
His left arm drooped down.
That one blow just now shattered my left arm!
At that moment, the note in Yang Xiao's hand fluttered down, and people finally saw what conditions were written on it... [Cripple his left hand!]
"Hiss! I never expected that Master Chen's condition box contained such terrifying conditions! No wonder it made Yang Xiao hesitate and Yin Tianzheng change color!"
"This is nothing but a ridiculously bad condition. Some secrets are worth risking your life for, and losing only an arm is a bargain. Do you really think Master Chen is a philanthropist?"
"That's true. Master Chen has already been very kind by adding many blank slips of paper to the wooden box. Let's not push our luck and be ungrateful..."
Exclamations of surprise rang out from the crowd.
While some questioned Chen Yan's actions, many more supported them.
Chen Yan was also a little surprised to see the conditions on the slips of paper that Yang Xiao drew. He had stuffed in hundreds of slips of paper, but there were only three with conditions like losing an arm. Yang Xiao had drawn all of them. He could only blame his bad luck.
Yin Liting's face lit up with joy upon seeing this.
Although he couldn't get revenge himself, Master Chen indirectly helped him vent his anger, which made him feel great!
"Silly boy, it's not that I'm helping you get revenge on purpose. Yang Xiao is just unlucky. It has nothing to do with me."
Chen Yan glanced at Yin Liting, naturally not bothering to explain anything about such a trivial matter.
Despite the excruciating pain and cold sweat beading on his forehead, Yang Xiao asked, "Master Chen, the question I wish to ask is: where is our Ming Cult leader, Yang Dingtian, now?"
Yin Tianzheng also looked nervous.
The people of the martial arts world were all astonished.
Yang Dingtian was a prominent figure in the martial arts world of the Yuan Dynasty a few years ago. Only Zhang Sanfeng could truly suppress him. He was invincible, and none of the eight major sects could match him.
However, his sudden disappearance turned the once thriving Ming Cult into a disorganized mess, greatly diminishing its strength.
Therefore, knowledgeable people within the Ming Cult were searching everywhere for the whereabouts of Yang Dingtian.
But Yang Dingtian seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.
"Master Chen, may I ask, where is our Yang Sect Leader now?"
Yin Tianzheng asked the question nervously.
Chen Yan: "Yang Dingtian hasn't gone anywhere all these years; he's stayed at Bright Peak of your Ming Cult."
Is it on Bright Summit?
Yang Xiao and Yin Tianzheng were stunned for a moment, then shook their heads in unison.
After Yang Dingtian disappeared, they searched Guangming Peak from top to bottom, but found nothing.
"Could it be! Could it be there?!"
Suddenly, they realized something and exclaimed in surprise!
The secret passage inside Bright Peak, the secret passage known only to the leader!
If Yang Dingtian were there, they would never have been able to find him!
"Yes, that's it. Yang Dingtian has been in the secret passage all these years."
Chen Yan understood their thoughts and nodded.
Yang Xiao and Yin Tianzheng were overjoyed and asked excitedly, "Immortal Master Chen, may I ask if our Sect Leader Yang is cultivating some powerful technique and has been in seclusion, which is why he hasn't come out?"
To cultivate powerful techniques in seclusion?
Chen Yan found it funny.
You guys have quite the imagination.
There was no beating around the bush; the answer was given directly.
"No! Yang Dingtian is not in seclusion, nor is he cultivating a powerful technique. He has already turned into a pile of bones in the secret passage."
Our leader, Yang, is dead??
Yang Xiao and Yin Tianzheng's eyes revealed deep shock and disbelief!
The people around them looked at each other in disbelief, stunned and bewildered by this explosive news.
Yang Dingtian!
That incredibly powerful man, who in the Yuan Dynasty was so strong that only Zhang Sanfeng could consistently defeat him and no one else could withstand three blows from him, just... just died like that.
Moreover, he died on Bright Peak in a secret passage known only to the leader.
"This! How is this possible!?"
"Our leader Yang's martial arts are unparalleled! And he's in the absolutely safe secret passage, who, who could possibly kill him?!"
Yang Xiao and Yin Tianzheng felt confused, angry, and bewildered.
If Yang Dingtian were to truly die, the decline of their Ming Cult would be irreversible.
As the highest-ranking members of the Ming Cult, they are utterly loyal to the cult and would never accept such an outcome.
Thinking of this, they all felt desolate and heartbroken... and finally, they broke down together.
[Ding! The host has caused Yang Xiao to break down, resulting in a double critical hit and gaining 3,000 breakdown points!]
[Ding! The host caused Yin Tianzheng to break down, resulting in a double critical hit and gaining 3,000 breakdown points!]
The onlookers looked at each other, bewildered and unable to process the outcome.
Even Zhang Sanfeng was taken aback.
Although Zhang Sanfeng had never met Yang Dingtian in person, he had long admired him through their spiritual connection.
At their level of strength, it's difficult for them to die prematurely unless something major goes wrong.
Therefore, even though Yang Dingtian has been missing for so many years, the people of the Ming Cult still firmly believe that he is still alive.
Unexpectedly, I now hear news of his death from Master Chen's mouth.
I don't know how he died.
Could it be that they have been besieged by experts, or perhaps they have been poisoned by the most potent poison in the world?
Zhang Sanfeng pondered for a long time but couldn't find a reliable answer.
People around him also started speculating wildly about the cause of Yang Dingtian's death.
"Yang Dingtian died from qi deviation."
