But even so, Lin Yi didn't think much of it before-weapons were external things, after all. After staying on Sky Class Island for a few years, he was already very similar to the other Sky Class Island natives-he always felt that strength was the true king, especially in the ancient martial world where everyone had a weapon. The weapons he saw were all common goods, and they wouldn't be of much use in critical moments.
However, the scene in front of him completely reversed his perception.
Although the shadowshape shifting urn seemed to be a one-time use item, its effect was truly envious. Once used well, it could be of great use in both attack and defense, and could even turn the entire battle situation around at a critical moment. This was not something to be talked about.
At that moment, Lin Yi was very interested in this unknown Chu family. Those unique shadow element skills were already giving him quite an inspiration, and now there was this amazing shapeshifting jar. It seemed like he had to pay a visit when he got out.
Of course, even if they didn 't, Lin Yi would've paid them a visit anyway, after all, they were preparing to marry Duanmu Yu.
Although Duanmu Yu didn't express her feelings clearly last time, Lin Yi could more or less guess a girl's feelings as someone who'd experienced it. No matter how the two ended up in the future, he wouldn't sit by and do nothing about this marriage between ye Ling sect and house Chu. Otherwise, he wouldn't be a man.
"Shadowshape shifting jar?!" After hearing Chu Wenshang's words, Chu Tianlu was taken aback. He then revealed a look of shock and anger."This is the family's most precious treasure. According to the ancestral teachings, only the family head can carry it. Why is it on you?"
In the small Jianghu of the immemorial era, every high-level sect and clan had their own unique characteristics and treasures. Even a small clan like the Chu clan, which was not considered a first-class clan, was no exception. The shadowshape shifting jar was the Chu clan's family treasure.
This was not a weapon in the traditional sense, but a one-time use item. Even so, it would not affect its status as a family treasure. Even if the Chu family had the forging method, due to the harsh conditions, the number of weapons had always been extremely small. In order to avoid any accidents, they were usually sealed in the basement, and only the family head could use them.
However, he did not expect that such an important family treasure, something that even an Aurous core stage expert like Chu Wenshang had no chance of seeing, would actually appear in the hands of a young disciple like Chu tianliang, who was only at the peak of the late Foundation establishment stage. It was truly unexpected.
"Chu hengding ..." Chu Wenshang's current state was still shocking. Chu tianliang's knife had cut his carotid artery. Otherwise, he wouldn't be bleeding so much. However, his strength of the early gold core realm was not for show. He had managed to stabilize such a serious injury that would have killed an ordinary person. Although his form was terrifying, he wouldn't die so quickly.
Chu Tianlu immediately understood what was going on when he heard the name. Chu hengding was none other than Chu tianliang's father, the top figure who was in charge of the entire Chu clan's finances. Only two people in the entire Chu clan had the opportunity to enter the basement. One was the current clan leader, who had just advanced to the nascent Soul Stage, and the other was Chu hengding.
It was obvious why Chu tianliang had the shapeshifting jar in his hands. Chu hengding was really willing to sacrifice everything for this son of his.
"Uncle Wenshang, as you can see, I was forced to save my life just now. Now this guy is like an arrow at the end of its flight, why don't you quickly get rid of him? Don't worry, I won't forget the one thousand spiritual jades that my father promised you. Also, I don't want the spiritual fruits anymore. They're all yours!" Chu tianliang quickly tried to salvage the situation.
Just now, Chu Wenshang was almost screwed over, especially with the precedent of returning kindness with ingratitude and stabbing Chu Xingping to death. If he did not quickly remedy it, Chu Wenshang might turn around and attack him, and that would be the end.
Upon hearing this, Chu Tianlu's heart skipped a beat. The effect of "changing bones with shadow" was about to disappear. At that time, his right arm would become a complete burden. He would not be able to fight back at all. If Chu Wenshang continued to attack him forcefully, he would have nowhere to escape to.
It had to be said that even though Chu tianliang's performance in other aspects was not worth mentioning, his words were said at the right time.
Sure enough, Chu Wenshang, who was already angry from embarrassment, had a change in expression. A deified soul fruit plus a thousand spirit jades, it was impossible for him to resist such a temptation. As for the debt of being forced into a bloody mess by the shadow swap technique, he could wait until another day.
"Uncle Wenshang, you've personally experienced this guy's character. Do you still want to continue to help the evildoer? Even if you really help him kill me, there's an 80 to 90% chance that he'll bite back at you. I advise you to think carefully before you speak. " Chu Tianlu could only try to persuade him. There was no way he could win if he attacked in his current state. He could only attack the heart.
Chu Wenshang was still hesitating. Chu tianliang, who was a hundred feet away, quickly followed and shouted,""Don't listen to his nonsense. Listen to me. As long as you kill him, the spiritual fruit and the one thousand spiritual jades will all be yours!"
"Uncle Wenshang, you should at least look at the other party's character before making a deal. Otherwise, if the other party turns against you, you'll be the one at a disadvantage. And don't forget, you've personally experienced his shapeshifting urn!" Chu Tianlu continued to persuade.
Chu Wenshang didn't think much of it before, but when he heard the last sentence, his heart suddenly moved.
Chu tianliang's possession of the shapeshifting jar was a serious crime, and since he had become a witness, Chu hengding and Chu tianliang would definitely try to kill him afterward. There was no other choice. Even if he managed to get the spiritual fruit and the 1000 spiritual jades, it would only be a death sentence.
Seeing Chu Wenshang's expression change, Chu tianliang turned around and ran without saying a word. Chu Wenshang's guess was right. Since he was forced to use the shadowshape shifting jar, all the witnesses present must be killed. Chu Tianlu must die, and so must Chu Wenshang. He could not refute this point. The best plan was to escape.
Chu tianliang was escaping at a very fast speed, leaving Chu Wenshang and Chu Tianlu in the dust. Normally, any one of them would be able to catch up to Chu tianliang easily, but now that they were both seriously injured, how could they?
"Well, now you and I have become a thorn in the eyes of this father and son ..." Chu Wenshang smiled bitterly. After offending Chu hengding, a powerful figure at the top of the Chu family, his future would not be good.
"Hmph, as long as we report this to Grandpa master, let's see how they're going to explain themselves!" Chu Tianlu snorted coldly. With Chu tianliang's escape, he and Chu Wenshang now had a common enemy. At the very least, they were no longer as hostile as before.
