Qishan Ancestor?
Hearing this term, Ye Tian couldn't help but frown. The other party believed he was a descendant of the Qishan Ancestor based on the Crimson Dragon Mark on his forehead, but they did not know that the Crimson Dragon Golden Blood was not inherited from his parents, but rather obtained through fortuitous circumstances.
However, since the other party was unaware, it was a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation and try to extract some information from him.
"By your logic, you should call me Young Master then?" Ye Tian asked with a cold smile.
"Of course. Although the current Mountain Lord is not of direct lineage, he has always wanted to reclaim the true bloodline of the Ancestor," Lu Lao Liu said with a sincere expression.
Ye Tian chuckled lightly and asked, "Did he instruct you to say that?"
Lu Lao Liu nodded repeatedly and continued, "The Mountain Lord said that the descendants of the Ancestor possess Dragon Blood, which reveals their true form when they exert their power, showing the Azure Dragon Seal on their foreheads. You must be the person I am looking for."
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian frowned slightly. The appearance of the Azure Dragon Seal might not only be due to the Crimson Dragon Golden Blood. It should be noted that there is more than one type of Divine Dragon in this world. For instance, after merging with the Nightmare Dragon Soul, Wine Kid would likely also reveal an Azure Dragon Seal when his true form manifests.
However, this person knew his title as Dragon Shadow Prince, which made Ye Tian somewhat puzzled.
"But I'm curious, since you know who I am, why did you still attack my friend?" Ye Tian asked.
"Dragon Shadow Prince, forgive me. At first, I didn't know you were the Dragon Shadow Prince, nor did I know that bearded man was your friend," Lu Lao Liu quickly explained.
"If you didn't know, why did you attack him?" Ye Tian pressed on, his tone carrying a hint of reproach. At this moment, he had to act somewhat serious because based on Lu Lao Liu's words and actions, he seemed to be a loyal person; the more he acted like this, the more likely he would reveal the truth.
"I was just following orders. The Mountain Lord instructed me to do so; I had no choice. Honestly, I didn't want to engage in such dangerous activities," Lu Lao Liu said with a look of grievance.
"What orders? Orders to attack the Martial Sovereign?" Ye Tian seized the opportunity to inquire further.
"This..." Lu Lao Liu wasn't foolish either. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "This is something you should ask after returning to the mountain. I'm just a pawn; if I say too much, it might bring about my own demise."
Hearing this, Ye Tian sneered inwardly and thought that this guy wasn't completely dense; he understood that he couldn't fully trust others until things were clear.
"Forget it; asking you is pointless. I won't ask about this matter anymore. Let me ask you a few other things."
"Please speak, Young Master. As long as it does not involve Qishan secrets, I will certainly tell you everything," Lu Lao Liu said with a bow.
"As long as it does not involve Qishan secrets..." Ye Tian muttered this phrase in his heart. The fact that Lu Lao Liu said this indicated that he possessed many secrets about Qishan. It seemed that this fellow was not merely a pawn as he claimed.
Moreover, given that he could last so many rounds against Ye Tian, who had a Martial Sovereign level of five, Qishan could not possibly use someone like him as just a pawn.
"What cultivation technique are you practicing? Why is it so peculiar?" Ye Tian asked after a moment of thought.
"Replying to the Young Master, I am naturally practicing our Esoteric Buddhism techniques," Lu Lao Liu answered somewhat confusedly. He was familiar with Esoteric Buddhism, just as a Martial Sovereign would be familiar with Martial Sovereign techniques, without any sense of strangeness. He assumed that Ye Tian, as the Dragon Shadow Prince, should also know about Esoteric Buddhism techniques, which was why he appeared so perplexed.
"Esoteric Buddhism..." Ye Tian's heart sank slightly. He thought, "I didn't expect Esoteric Buddhism to be involved. It seems this battle is not just between Martial Sovereign and Spirit Sect; there must be even larger forces and figures behind the scenes."
"By the way, there's one more thing. I have never publicly claimed to be the Dragon Shadow Prince. How did this title spread? Is it because your lips are loose?" Ye Tian pretended to be slightly angry. This time he was gambling, betting that the title of Dragon Shadow Prince had indeed spread from Qishan; otherwise, while 'Dragon Shadow' could be understood, 'Prince' was harder to explain.
Clearly, Ye Tian guessed correctly. Upon hearing this, Lu Lao Liu quickly lowered his head and timidly said, "Please punish me, Young Master. Regarding your title, it was my subordinates who accidentally let it slip. Who knew it would spiral out of control and become known here in Seamless Horizon?"
"Which big mouth spread it around? Bring him here!" Ye Tian shouted. However, his actual intention was to intimidate Lu Lao Liu with his anger because although the other party was not particularly clever, if he calmed down and reflected on it, he would soon discover the various flaws in Ye Tian's words.
"Young Master, my brother only has a big mouth; he has no other faults. Please forgive him..." Lu Lao Liu thought Ye Tian truly wanted to punish that person and quickly pleaded for his subordinate.
"What else can you do? How many people do you manage? You can't even keep track of this little matter?" Ye Tian began to probe for information.
Lu Lao Liu was taken aback and said, "What you say is true; I couldn't even manage to keep track of Thirty People. It is my dereliction of duty."
"Thirty people..." Ye Tian smiled inwardly and thought: "Esoteric Buddhism is famous for its formations; the aura here is different. Could it be the power of formations? Moreover, sealing such a large forest likely cannot be accomplished by just a few dozen people."
"Forget it; I won't pursue this further. Tell your subordinates to withdraw the formation eye and release my brother." Ye Tian felt that he could not say more; as they say, too much talk leads to mistakes. His previous statements were already full of flaws; if Lu Lao Liu were not frightened out of his wits, he would have likely seen through them by now.
"However, your brother is not in our hands; when we almost captured him earlier, he was snatched away by someone," Lu Lao Liu said when he realized he could no longer hide the truth.
Ye Tian had already asked about Duan Liu's whereabouts once before, but Lu Lao Liu had been vague. Now revealing the truth seemed absurd to Ye Tian, making him somewhat skeptical.
"My brother's strength is at the Martial Sovereign level; how could he be easily snatched away? Moreover, there are very few people stronger than him in this generation. Are you daring to deceive me?" Ye Tian's eyes shone with golden light that faintly took on a dragon shape, radiating sharpness.
Lu Lao Liu became even more convinced that Ye Tian was the Dragon Shadow Prince they had in mind, and he trembled in fear, repeatedly saying, "I wouldn't dare, I truly wouldn't dare. Everything I said is true."
"Have someone remove the formation eye, then tell me in detail what happened at that time."
Upon hearing this, Lu Lao Liu pointed his hands in a strange manner into the air. After several gestures, a bizarre shadow resembling a fierce beast floated up until it stabilized several dozen feet above the ground.
Then, it grew larger and larger, eventually almost enveloping the entire treetops, casting a dark light downward.
This blackness was different from the darkness of night; it emanated a heavy sense of death.
"Such dense death energy; no wonder it can seal away all vitality," Ye Tian thought to himself, frowning as he realized the Esoteric Buddhism technique was indeed peculiar.
Sizzle...
The black light quickly scattered, followed by a series of strange sounds as dozens of figures flew toward them.
Ye Tian infused his eyes with Crimson Dragon's Golden Blood Power, scanning through the deep night. He saw that those people's clothing and appearance were identical to Lu Lao Liu, with not even a single difference in looks.
"Are they trying to play tricks on me?" Ye Tianxin felt a chill run down his spine; this situation was too strange, and he had to be cautious.
Thus, he clenched his fingers into a grip and seized Lu Lao Liu by the throat, coldly saying, "I want you to deactivate the formation. Why did you summon them all here?"
Initially, surprise flashed in Lu Lao Liu's eyes, followed by confusion, and finally he hissed, "Young Master... this is our Esoteric Buddhism's Soul Separation Technique!"
"Soul Separation Technique?" Ye Tian had never heard of this so-called Soul Separation Technique, but from its name, he could tell that these dozens of figures were likely manipulated by Lu Lao Liu alone and were not living beings with flesh and blood.
However, while Ye Tianjing was surprised, combining this with Lu Lao Liu's earlier expression made him realize that the latter must have said this to gauge his reaction. In other words, Lu Lao Liu had already begun to suspect him.
"Don't talk nonsense; I know what the Soul Separation Technique is. What I mean is for you to temporarily deactivate the formation, not to completely withdraw it," Ye Tian couldn't find an appropriate excuse for a moment and could only awkwardly explain.
"Oh..." Lu Lao Liu looked at Ye Tian with some suspicion but eventually focused his thoughts and recited a spell to send the separated souls back.
Dozens of shadows returned along the same path they came from, moving in unison like puppets.
In an instant, the shadow vanished, but a puzzled voice came from an unknown place in the Forest: "Lu Tou?"
Clearly, it was those practitioners of Esoteric Buddhism controlling Lu Lao Liu's soul fragments who were confused about why Lu Lao Liu had suddenly withdrawn the fragments and then sent them back.
"Temporarily close the formation," Lu Lao Liu shouted in a certain direction.
There was no further response from the Forest, but after a brief period of darkness, bright moonlight poured down from the night sky.
Having been suppressed for so long, many fierce beasts and monsters in the Forest began to roar, creating an astonishing cacophony.
However, amidst these sounds, Ye Tian keenly heard another kind of voice. At the same time, with his five-stage Martial Sovereign strength, he sensed two powerful auras fiercely clashing ten miles away.
"Damn it, if you want to harm me, you should consider your own capabilities!" one rough voice shouted.
"Without Ye Tian, you are nothing; stop pretending to be strong!" another voice mocked disdainfully.
Listening intently for a moment, Ye Tian's brow suddenly furrowed. He couldn't care less about Lu Lao Liu and the others; his figure flashed and he disappeared into the forest.
Because he was extremely familiar with those two voices—one came from Duan Liu, and the other was from his arch-nemesis Thunderstorm!
