Upon seeing the cane in his hand, my heart tightened. Could this person before me truly be the leader of the Yang Master?
"Come in, stop standing there like fools at the door," said the man holding the Six Dragon Cane as he turned and sat down on a chair behind him.
Hearing this, I had no intention of being polite. I strode into the room and said, "You are indeed from the Yang Master, right? What do you want with me?" My tone was far from friendly.
If it weren't for my loss of combat ability, I would have summoned the Void Spirit and fought him to the death. From the very beginning, we had been set up and betrayed; Hu Fang was kidnapped, and the Divine Anomalies Classic: Nine Star Life and Death Diagram was taken from us. We had suffered injuries and dangers because of them. The despicable acts they committed made my teeth grind in anger.
However, considering that the Death Apostle lacked combat power and Hu Fang couldn't control himself well, it was clearly unwise to engage him in a fight right now.
"Since you already know, I'll speak plainly without any more pretense..." He slowly raised his head, fixing me with a piercing gaze. "Hand over the Divine Anomalies Classic: Nine Star Life and Death Diagram, as well as Xinzhu."
Upon hearing this, I felt puzzled. "Xinzhu? What is that? I have no idea... But I did bring the Divine Anomalies Classic: Nine Star Life and Death Diagram with me; however, it's not in my hands. It's in the car parked next to the pet hospital with Jiang Ling."
Thinking this way, I refrained from voicing my thoughts. But to clarify what he meant by Xinzhu, I decided to probe further.
"I don't know what your Xinzhu is; I didn't bring the Divine Anomalies Classic either... However, even if I had it, why should I give it to you?" I replied.
He let out a cold laugh. "Why should you? I think you might be misunderstanding something..." With that, he stood up, swayed slightly, and suddenly vanished right before my eyes.
A dull thud sounded beside me. I quickly turned to look and saw Yao Long had been taken down instantly by that man, his foot pressing down on Yao Long's back.
His speed was so astonishing that neither I nor Yao Long had time to react or defend ourselves.
"I'm not here to bargain with you; you don't have the right to negotiate with me. I could kill you at any moment and then take my time searching for what I want," he said without a change in expression.
At that moment, Yao Long was pinned to the ground, seemingly unable to move or even make a sound.
I clenched my fists, suppressing the emotions within me, striving to remain calm.
After a moment, as my feelings eased slightly, I said, "With your strength, you could have killed me long ago, but you didn't. So I've made a bold guess... you must need me alive. If that's the case, then my life is a bargaining chip. Do you think I have the right to negotiate with you? Let him go!" I shouted.
Upon hearing this, the man snorted lightly, appearing somewhat reluctant yet helpless. He said, "You're quite clever, but what I dislike most is when someone tries to outsmart me..." With that, he kicked Yao Long on the ground.
Seeing this, Death Apostle hurried forward to help Yao Long up.
"Very well..." he continued, "I do intend to keep you alive. Right now, your life is more important to me than the Divine Anomalies Classic, but don't think that gives you free rein..."
At this point, he leaned closer to my ear and whispered softly, "I can kill everyone around you at any time; they are worth nothing to me..."
"You want that book, don't you? I can give it to you, but I need some time; the book isn't with me right now. As for your Xinzhu, I truly don't know what it is," I replied, planning to agree for now to prevent further harm to others. Whether I would ultimately hand over the Divine Anomalies Classic was another matter.
However, the leader of Yang Master seemed far from foolish; he saw through my intentions immediately. He waved his hand at me and said, "No, no, no. You won't just hand it over willingly. Tell me where the Divine Anomalies Classic is; I'll send someone to retrieve it. As for Xinzhu..."
The leader of Yang Master walked around us in circles, scrutinizing everyone present, making me feel increasingly uneasy.
"It's not surprising that you don't know; Kizuka in Onizuka is inherently mysterious... To put it simply, this Xinzhu is precisely what you encountered earlier in Onizuka. As far as I know, Onizuka hasn't been dispelled but has vanished instead. Can you explain why that is?"
"I would like to know why too. Look at me; do I seem like someone who understands these complexities? But since you don't believe what I'm saying now, anything I say will be a lie to you. So what do I have to lose? How about this: just tell me what exactly you want; I'll help you find it, and then you'll release my friend."
My intention was to buy time so that I could devise a strategy once I had a chance to escape.
"Xinzhu, corresponding to Heart Star's Onizuka, is an entity of consciousness. It possesses its own awareness and has a faint ability to manipulate time and space. It disappeared not long ago without being dispelled while you happened to be nearby. Do you understand now?" With that, the leader of Yang Master sat back down in his chair.
Hearing this, I felt a bit clearer about the situation and began to understand what was going on. However, it wasn't the right time to talk to Li Zhisheng and the Death Apostle, so I said, "I see, so that's Onizuka... Give me some time to help you look for him. If I stay here, I won't be able to help you at all. Besides, I'm the only one who has experienced Onizuka; you can't possibly ask anyone else to find him, right?"
"You've got some sense. I'll give you two hours to find Onizuka; otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
After hearing that, I shot him a disdainful glance and turned to leave with the others. It was then that I noticed blood trickling from the corner of Yao Long's mouth; it seemed he had been injured by that earlier attack.
I gritted my teeth and thought, "Right now, I can't do anything about you. But once I come up with a plan, I'll make sure to kill you first!"
With that in mind, we headed toward the door. Just as we reached it, the man called out to us, "Hold on! Are you just going to leave like this? Don't you plan on leaving something behind?"
"Leave? What do you want us to leave?" I asked impatiently as I turned back.
"If I'm not mistaken, one of your friends here used to work for me. It's been a long time since I've seen him; I'd like to keep him around for a little chat..."
