Chapter 351 – Soulseek Sword Technique! (1/2)
Yang Ye smiled and said, “Madam is very right. When we’re in danger or in need of help, the people close to us are the only people in the world who would help us irrespective of right or wrong, life or death. So, I’m just like Madam, I help my loved ones and disregard reason. Because even if you sided with ‘reason’, ‘reason’ wouldn’t side with you! After all, this is a world where the biggest fist is the most reasonable!”
The woman smiled as she nodded and said, “Young Master Yang is absolutely right. Our subsequent discussions will definitely be much smoother since Young Master Yang is able to think in this way!”
“I’m very curious!” said Yang Ye.
The woman smiled, and then she flicked her finger, causing a scroll to appear in front of Yang Ye.
Yang Ye was puzzled by this when the woman said, “Take a look at it first!”
Yang Ye suppressed the bewilderment in his heart and opened the scroll.
Soulseek Sword Technique, mid-grade Heaven Rank. The body is used as the medium while profound energy acts as the catalyst to condense the energy of the heavens and the earth into a sword. The sword locks onto the soul, and the sword will remain until the soul is destroyed!
Caution, this technique exhausts a huge amount of profound energy, so it can’t be cultivated by profounders beneath the fifth rank of the Spirit Realm. Once a sword is condensed by the profound energy is insufficient, then the user will suffer backlash from the energy of the heavens and the earth! Never forget this!
Yang Ye closed the scroll, and then he raised his head to gaze at her before he spoke with a calm expression. “What’s the meaning of this, Madam?”
Even though he seemed extremely calm on the surface, tempestuous waves were surging through Yang Ye’s heart! If it was merely a sword technique of this quality, then he would naturally not be so excited. He was excited by an effect that the Soulseek Sword Technique possessed! That effect was its ability to lock onto his enemy’s soul and remain active until the soul was destroyed!
If the Soulseek Sword Technique was combined with the Nether Ghostflame or Ninth h.e.l.l Cold Gale….
When he thought about how a thread of the Nether Ghostflame would pursue his enemy incessantly, Yang Ye had the impulse to flee from this place with the Soulseek Sword Technique’s scroll!
The woman glanced at Yang Ye and said, “Young Master Yang is much more composed than I expected!”
Yang Ye placed the scroll onto the table and said, “Madam, truthfully speaking, this sword technique is extremely helpful to me. However, I understand that there’s no free food in this world. Since you presented such a precious treasure to me as soon as we met, then won’t you tell me the reason first?”
“Smart people are really easy to deal with!” The woman smiled and said, “I’ll get straight to the point. Young Master Yang has probably noticed it as well, how can a woman like me manage such vast properties of the Southern An Clan? So, I hope that Young Master Yang will join the An Clan!”
“Marry into the An Clan?” Yang Ye was stunned, and then he hurriedly shook his head and said, “Madam, I have to say that you’re very beautiful indeed. Unfortunately, I already have someone in my heart, so it’s absolutely impossible!” What a joke! Marry into the An Clan? Wouldn’t that be equivalent to allowing his wife to support him? Yang Ye absolutely refused to do that no matter how fond of the Soulseek Sword Technique he was!
The corners of the middle aged man’s mouth instantly twitched when he heard Yang Ye.
“What!?” A wisp of rosiness, embarra.s.sment, and anger flashed on her face, and she glared fiercely at Yang Ye and said, “I meant that I hope Young Master Yang would join a secret group of my An Clan!”
“You’re not asking me to marry into the An Clan?” Yang Ye was instantly embarra.s.sed. So I was mistaken.
Fortunately, he was thick skinned, and he merely smiled with embarra.s.sment before he said seriously, “A secret group? A guard?”
The woman glanced at Yang Ye, and her expression returned to calm when she noticed that it didn’t seem like Yang Ye was teasing her on purpose. She said, “Not a guard. This secret group is an organization established by my An Clan, and it’s equivalent to being Honorary Elders. My An Clan will provide all of you with a certain amount of cultivation resources every single year, and all of you can even mobilize a certain amount of forces of my An Clan.”
“Then what do we need to do?” asked Yang Ye in a low voice.
“Nothing much!” The woman smiled and said, “Promise to do 3 things for my An Clan every year. Of course, they will absolutely be within the scope of your ability. Besides that, all of you have to lend a hand if my An Clan is in danger!”
“Just that?” asked Yang Ye.
The woman nodded.
Yang Ye pondered deeply and said, “Madam, I’d like to know what sort of cultivation resources will be provided?”
“10,000 energy stones every month!” The woman said, “Moreover, we’ll provide all of you with cultivation techniques and various combat techniques. Of course, they won’t be provided for free, and you have to exchange Contribution Points for them.”
“Contribution Points?” The woman nodded and said, “The contribution points of my An Clan. My An Clan frequently issues some a.s.signments or needs some things done when it’s inconvenient for our An Clan to complete it ourselves. If you do it and complete it, then you’ll obtain the corresponding amount of contribution points! Let me disclose a little to you. If you have sufficient contribution points, then you can even exchange them for high-grade Heaven Rank combat techniques and treasures!”
Yang Ye glanced at the woman, and then he shook his head and said, “Madam, that’s really an effective move!”
At this moment, Yang Ye felt slight admiration towards this woman. Because while the members of this secret group seemed to possess a huge amount of freedom and weren’t restrained by the An Clan, it was actually not like that at all. For the sake of those so-called contribution points, how could those experts not fight desperately for the An Clan’s sake?
This was a vivid display of the saying — money can even move the G.o.ds!
“We’re just making an exchange for what we need!” The woman smiled and said, “So are you willing to join?”
Yang Ye pondered deeply for a moment, and then he shook his head and said, “I’m sorry but I refuse!”
