Chapter 787

You Can’t Watch

Three days?

Shao Xuan didn’t know why they did not leave with Mu Yao or why Yi Cong wanted three days but…

“Why should I?” Shao Xuan looked at the two Yi people nearby. “In the forest, when the wolves catch the deer, they do not give it time to catch its breath.”

“No, these three days will be beneficial to us and you Flaming Horns.” Yi Cong’s expression did not change. “Within three days, our Yi family will battle Yi Xiang to death. I believe I do not need to explain who Yi Xiang is.”

Shao Xuan raised an eyebrow. He knew who Yi Xiang was, of course. Rock Hill City was currently so powerful mainly because of Yi Xiang. Yet Yi Xiang had always been called by the Yi family as ‘The Unlucky One’.

Shao Xuan pointed at them with the hand without the knife. “You two?” He pointed at the ground. “Here?” He pointed in the direction of the desert with his thumb. “Fight Yi Xiang?”

They were so far away, how will they fight?

Plus Yi Cong had said ‘our Yi family’, not ‘I’ or ‘we’. Did that mean the entire Yi family was participating in battle? They were so far away and not the entire Yi family would head to the desert. So how will they fight this war?

Seeing Shao Xuan’s confusion, Yi Cong explained patiently, as if confident Shao Xuan would not kill them now, “Our Yi family’s fighting techniques differ from other tribes.”

Yi Qi, who was listening next to Yi Cong, had his lips curved upwards, looking proud. He seemed to look down on how other tribes fought- they fought with knives the moment their tempers flared, how barbaric! Unrefined! Only the Yi family was sophisticated!

“How different?” Shao Xuan was now interested. The Yi family was a very special group. They did not have much firepower or strong physiques like other tribes, yet still managed to become one of the six royal families of King City.

“If I tell you, could you give us three days?” asked Yi Cong.

“Yes.” Shao Xuan could afford three days.

Yi Cong relaxed after hearing his reply. All they needed was for Shao Xuan to give them three days.

Sitting down on a piece of animal hide laid by his slave, he continued, “Our Yi family never worshipped the strength of the flesh.”

Shao Xuan knew this. The Yi family could kill from a long distance, often creating all sorts of accidents that cannot be investigated successfully.

“The abilities of our ancestors aren’t just limited to the world you see.” Yi Cong stared into space, eyes filled with admiration and reverence. “You will not be able to witness the battle between the Yi family members. A true master is not hindered by distance, just like how you receive information from something far away.”

Can’t be seen?

Shao Xuan planned to watch their battle to learn more, possibly improving his knot divination skills. But Yi Cong said he won’t be able to see it?

“I don’t know how you learned the Yi family’s divination skills but you are not one of us. Even if you have mastered one skill, you still will not be able to reach the core of the arts. This is only accessible to the lineage, and is related to the fire seed’s powers,” said Yi Cong.

“You punk, so which freaking Yi family method did you actually use?!” Yi Qi finally blurted. He still could not completely believe that the person who tracked them using their own techniques was a tribesman?!

“If I tell you, will you tell me how I can watch the battle?” asked Shao Xuan.

“No, regular people will not see it. You must know the core of the arts, just as Yi Cong mentioned. Plus you can’t, even if someone told you how because you do not have Yi blood in your veins!” cried Yi Qi.

Without Yi blood, one could not use their fire seed or get to the core of the arts. Especially not witness the Yi family’s battle from an insider’s perspective.

Fire see again?

“Then how do you know the Yi family will be fighting? From a reading? Three days because the battle will begin in three days?” asked Shao Xuan.

These people had been in the forest for a long time, how could they know something so accurately?

“That’s right,” nodded Yi Cong.

Although Shao Xuan had attempted a reading, he still could not tell what the Yi family was up to. Perhaps that was the difference between outsiders and the Yi family? Other than knot divination, he could not seem to master any of the other Yi skills.
