"It's actually you!"
When Yang Tian tore off the skin mask from Master Wu's face, Master Wu's true face was revealed.
It was Bu Ruji!
Indeed, the person standing in front of Yang Tian was an old man who looked exactly like Bu Ruji.
Even Wang Ying, Ling Ying, and Wang Yue were surprised.
Wasn't Bu Ruji already killed? How is he still alive?
"Young man, your speed is quite impressive! Your cultivation level must have already broken through to the mid-Fetus Refining Realm, very good!"
Master Wu gave a compliment.
"Bu Ruji, weren't you already dead?"
Yang Tian spoke in a deep voice.
"Bu Ruji?" Master Wu was surprised for a moment, then smiled.
"Master Wu, what's going on? Why are you wearing a fake skin mask? Who exactly are you? Why disguise yourself and appear here with us?"
Lin Qing was also startled by Master Wu's real identity and asked anxiously.
"Madam Wang, you need not worry, I mean no harm..."
Master Wu waved his hand.
"Whether you mean harm or not, let's discuss it in hell!"
Yang Tian didn't bother to talk more, after all, Bu Ruji had deceived him many times, so he flipped his left hand, and a surge of Spiritual Breath erupted violently.
Heaven-shattering Palm Technique, Heaven-shattering Extinction!
Yang Tian struck with a heavy palm.
"What is this? The Heaven-shattering Palm Technique?"
Master Wu's expression changed in shock as he glanced at Yang Tian in surprise.
He couldn't believe Yang Tian would use such a martial technique as the Heaven-shattering Palm Technique.
Boom!
Yang Tian's Heaven-shattering Extinction came with great momentum, the powerful palm force shattered several ancient trees that had grown in the backyard for ages.
Finally, this Heaven-shattering Extinction struck towards Master Wu.
Master Wu didn't avoid it but ran his Spiritual Breath and blocked it with all his might.
Thud, thud, thud, thud!
Master Wu was directly pushed back five steps before he barely stabilized himself, he looked at Yang Tian in amazement: "Young man, this is the Heaven-shattering Palm Technique, where did you learn it from? Moreover, you have mastered the Heaven-shattering Palm Technique to such a high level?"
"Nowhere to tell!"
Yang Tian didn't respond to Master Wu.
For evildoers like Bu Ruji, Yang Tian was eager to kill first.
Boom!
Yang Tian flipped his left hand again, sending another Heaven-shattering Palm Technique towards Master Wu.
This time, Master Wu quickly dodged aside, hurriedly saying, "Young man, stop! I have no malicious intent!"
"Let's talk about it in hell!"
With a clang, Yang Tian drew the Holy Sword, in mid-air danced with light like celestial blossoms, the sword performed a starry illumination, and finally, the sword momentum violently attacked towards Master Wu.
This overwhelming sword momentum struck down, and Master Wu's face drastically changed.
There was a look of surprise in his eyes: "What is this sword?"
Boom!
The sword momentum grazed Master Wu's body and pierced fiercely into the ground.
The ground was pierced out a large pit.
And on Master Wu's chest, a sword wound was inflicted, blood flowed out.
Master Wu stared hard at Yang Tian: "Young man, who exactly are you? What sword are you holding again? Why does it seem so familiar to me?"
"I told you, you'll find out in hell!"
Yang Tian didn't bother answering Master Wu.
The Holy Sword in his hand flicked, like a snake or dragon, performing the Dragon and Phoenix Dance, like heavenly beauty flashing flowers rushing towards Master Wu.
Facing the sky-filled sword shadows, Master Wu's expression drastically changed, he suddenly realized: "I know what sword this is! If I'm not mistaken, this is the Holy Sword, the long-lost Holy Sword."
"Very well, you won't die in ignorance now!"
The Holy Sword in Yang Tian's hand flicked, and a sky full of Sword Aura flew down.
"Young man, stop immediately, you're mistaken, I'm not an enemy, I'm a friend, I am the subordinate of the old Saint Master, waiting for the day when the Holy Sword can emerge, leading us to restore the old Saint Master's Ancient Martial Dynasty!"
Master Wu retreated, raising his voice.
He was very aware of the Holy Sword's power, if he was just a step slower, he would die in front of Yang Tian.
"I know you are a subordinate of the old Saint Master, but you still have to die!"
Yang Tian said indifferently.
With a wave of his hand, the sea of Sword Aura descended, piercing the entire backyard into a thousand holes.
Although Master Wu dodged, a deep reverence flashed in his eyes, reverence for the Holy Sword.
He said earnestly: "Young man, you have obtained the Holy Sword, surely you are the recognized successor of the old Saint Master? In that case, there's no need to kill me, I can follow you to conquer the world!"
Upon hearing Master Wu's words, Yang Tian coldly smiled: "Bu Ruji, what right do you have to talk to me about this?"
"Bu Ruji? Haha..."
Master Wu laughed out loud.
Hearing Master Wu's laughter, Yang Tian's eyes flickered, he wasn't stupid: "Could it be, you're not Bu Ruji? But someone who looks like him?"
"Young Master, you are indeed clever! Yes, the Bu Ruji you mentioned is precisely my younger brother! And I am Bu Ruji's elder brother, Bu Rucheng!"
Master Wu raised his voice.
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Yang Tian put away the Holy Sword.
In an instant, the terrifying aura that pressed the backyard dissipated.
With a snap, Master Wu knelt down in front of him, his face somewhat pale, saying: "Young Master, you finally withdrew the killing intent, if it had pressed any longer, I would have died here!"
Mind that, the Holy Sword is a sacred existence!
Although Master Wu's own cultivation was not weak, how could he be a match for Yang Tian?
With the Holy Sword's power added, it's already fortunate that Master Wu is still alive.
"Tell me, why are you here? How much do you know about the matter with Bu Ruji?"
Yang Tian asked in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
Master Wu nodded respectfully, not daring to stand up but knelt there, brewing some words in his mind.
"Yang Tian..."
Wang Ying, Ling Ying, and Wang Yue noticed the fighting in the backyard stopped before they came out.
Seeing Master Wu kneeling before Yang Tian respectfully, they were all stunned.
"Master Wu, what's going on? Why did you suddenly kneel before this young man?"
Lin Qing also came out.
Seeing Master Wu kneeling to Yang Tian, her eyes were full of amazement.
Master Wu is known for being cold-blooded and merciless, never fearing anyone, yet now kneeling before Yang Tian?
"Bu Rucheng, you only need to answer my questions!"
Yang Tian said sternly.
"Yes!" Master Wu didn't dare to delay, quickly saying, "Thirty years ago, I encountered Madam Wang because she was in trouble, and I lent a helping hand. By then, I had already left the Ancient Martial Dynasty and was hunted by the newly emerged Saint Master, so I could only disguise myself and hide here..."
"And what is the situation with Bu Ruji?"
Yang Tian asked again.
"Bu Ruji is my brother. During the battle years ago, we lost contact, and I haven't known about his whereabouts all these years."
Master Wu replied respectfully.
"So you don't know Bu Ruji killed Wang Lingzhan?"
Yang Tian suddenly asked.
"What are you saying? Bu Ruji killed Wang Lingzhan? How is that possible?"
Master Wu's face shifted.
But for some reason, Yang Tian felt Master Wu's surprised expression was feigned, yet he didn't reveal it and continued, "So you're unaware Bu Ruji killed Wang Lingzhan?"
"I really don't know!" Master Wu quickly responded, "Wang Lingzhan is one of the Four Great Golden Spirit Guardians of the Ancient Martial Dynasty and also my master. If he was really killed by Bu Ruji, it would be my disgrace!"
Yang Tian coldly hummed in his heart.
He felt Master Wu had left something unsaid.
"So, you know nothing about Wang Lingzhan? You don't even know where Wang Lingzhan died?"
Yang Tian asked again.
Master Wu's eyes showed a trace of hesitation, but he eventually nodded, "Sorry, Young Master, during that battle years ago, I lost contact with my master, and didn't know he died, let alone where he died."
Hearing this, Yang Tian knew Master Wu was not telling the truth.
However, he didn't rush to expose Master Wu.
Instead, Yang Tian activated the Mind Reading Technique and probed into Master Wu's mind.
This Mind Reading Technique is a newly developed superpower, a talent that sets Yang Tian apart from other ancient martial artists.
It's limited to once every three months, and the last time was three months ago. Now Yang Tian uses it again to reveal the connection between Master Wu and Wang Lingzhan.
Bang!
Yang Tian's eyes emitted a red glow, probing into Master Wu's mind.
Quickly, he frowned, only able to read two words: Flowerpot!
What is this situation? Could it be the relationship between Master Wu and Wang Lingzhan lies in the flowerpot?
Yang Tian couldn't help but glance at the flowerpot in Master Wu's hands.
From the beginning to the end, Master Wu held this flowerpot.
Half an hour ago, Yang Tian punched, directing his Spiritual Breath towards the flowerpot, which absorbed the breath from the withered flower inside.
Yet the flowerpot itself remained unchanged.
And the information "flowerpot" Yang Tian read from Master Wu's mind, what could it be?
Yang Tian felt puzzled for a moment.
"Young Master..."
Master Wu also noticed Yang Tian's fiery gaze fixed on the flowerpot in his hands, his heart skipped, quickly putting it away as if anxious that Yang Tian might learn something.
"Master Wu, you seem to be hiding something from me!"
Yang Tian suddenly remarked.
"Absolutely not!"
Master Wu's eyes twitched, quickly denying.
"In that case, may I have the flowerpot in your hands?"
Yang Tian suddenly asked.
"This..." Master Wu hesitated but eventually nodded, "Of course, I can give it to you. You are my Young Master!"
Saying this, Master Wu respectfully handed the flowerpot to Yang Tian.
Yang Tian received the flowerpot, feeling a chill upon touch.
Frankly speaking, the sensation wasn't pleasant; Yang Tian wanted to discard it but, recalling the information "flowerpot" he read from Master Wu's mind using the Mind Reading Technique, he knew it was no ordinary flowerpot.
Yang Tian activated his Divine Sense, probing into the flowerpot, yet discovered nothing.
But at that moment, a force surged from the flowerpot, absorbing into Yang Tian's body.
Almost instantly, a sacred aura emanated from Yang Tian's Holy Sword, flowing into the flowerpot.
Boom!
The flowerpot emitted a powerful light, and the withered flower revived, blossoming beautifully again.
"What is happening?"
Yang Tian frowned.
Meanwhile, Master Wu's expression drastically changed, and he ecstatically exclaimed, "Heavens, this is wonderful! Young Master, it's indeed you, I've waited for you! You must know, when your fist struck, the flowerpot absorbed your Spiritual Breath, and now this breath has revived the withered flower!"
Yang Tian realized suddenly, "So you specifically used the flowerpot to collect my Spiritual Breath? What purpose does reviving the flower serve?"
"Reviving the flower means you can save my master!" Master Wu said excitedly, "Young Master, I deceived you, my master Wang Lingzhan is not dead. He's trapped in a Dark Land, a place of imprisonment. Years ago, my master, practicing Demonic Technique, went berserk, only to be confined in this Dark Land. He isn't dead nor killed by my brother. That corpse in the cave years ago was merely a fake. I deceived you because I didn't want Young Master to worry about this matter. The flower in the flowerpot comes from the Dark Land, and all these years, I've been searching for someone who can revive the withered flower, because only he can rescue my master!"
"I see!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Tian suddenly understood...
