"Sect Master Zhu, what you’re seeking is no secret in the martial world,"


    Tao Yu said, looking at Zhu Yuyan with a gentle tone.


    "You’re just trying to find Shi Zhixuan and perish together with him. But, if nothing unexpected happens, Shi Shaojian’s main goal would be to win over Shi Zhixuan, only he can’t find the man."


    Tao Yu didn’t know whether Shi Zhixuan was the Fortune Thief or not, but saying it out loud was never wrong!No?v(el)B\\jnn


    As for Zhu Yuyan, Shi Zhixuan was a topic that touched her sore spot; even her breathing slightly fluctuated when she heard these words.


    Her Sky Demon Great Technique was stuck at the seventeenth level, mainly because of Shi Zhixuan, which caused her to have a mental flaw among the strong at the Grandmaster Realm!


    Even though her cultivation was profound and her Heavenly Demon power field was extremely delicate, the gap in her spirit made her just average among the Grandmaster powerhouses.


    "Shi Shaojian, Shi Zhixuan... Could it be that guy..."


    Zhu Yuyan clenched her teeth as if making some connection through the two surnames.


    Hearing this, Tao Yu was somewhat speechless, feeling it was an exaggeration...


    But he certainly wasn’t going to remind her otherwise.


    "You know, in the Abyss, someone like Shi Zhixuan is very rare, so, in this respect, our positions are indeed the same – we can’t let the Holy Relic fall into Shi Zhixuan’s hands,"


    said Tao Yu, prompting Zhu Yuyan to nod.


    "You’re right. Although this might just be your excuse to obtain the Holy Relic, as long as it doesn’t end up in Shi Zhixuan’s hands, I can accept the other outcomes."


    "Then, as for the Demon Sect... I wonder if I’m qualified to have a look at the techniques of the Holy Ancestry? Since I’ve joined the Holy Gate, I want to complete the Demon Strategy, to collect it in its entirety. And I can do this under the name of the Yin Gui Faction."


    Zhu Yuyan was visibly moved by Tao Yu’s words.


    Completing the Demon Strategy!


    That was a great ambition shared by many sects within the Demon Sect!


    If it could really be completed, what would the Sword Canon of Mercy matter?


    They had the complete Sword Canon of Mercy, but what could that count for compared to the fragmented Demon Strategy?


    "But your techniques..."


    "I said I can learn them. I am studying the Fundamental Law, but I can start with some other techniques,"


    said Tao Yu frankly.


    "What about your friends? Do they have any objections?"


    Zhu Yuyan glanced at the Twins and others. "You don’t mind if a comrade practices Magic Skills, do you?"


    "Haha, if it’s Brother Tao, we have no objections,"


    Kou Zhong laughed heartily, not giving Zhu Yuyan a chance to object.


    "What!"


    Zhu Yuyan’s face was full of emotion, and the others from the Yin Gui Faction were equally shocked.


    The He’s Jade Disc was stolen?!


    And from such a lineup?!


    How is this possible!


    "You may choose not to believe, but as I said, this is my sincerity."


    Tao Yu gradually merged into the Grandmaster realm, his newly incorporated sword intent aimed directly at the crowd.


    Especially Zhu Yuyan, who had crossed swords with Tao Yu once, her face changed abruptly—this was even stronger than the previous Qi manipulation!


    Moreover, she felt a sharp sense pressing directly on her weak points.


    Her spirit was already incomplete because of Shi Zhixuan’s influence, and now Zhu Yuyan had a premonition that if the opponent launched another thunderous strike like last time, she would end up in even more miserable shape.


    What kind of beings are they, to have grown stronger again in such a short time!


    Afterward, she thought of Zhang Sanfeng, who had been chased to the brink by Bian Bufu and had now become a Grandmaster.


    Are all these people from beyond their realm so fearsome?


    If Shi Shaojian had been concealing his true abilities all along, then things might truly become troublesome!


    Tao Yu’s Yi Sword Technique’s sword intent was released and then retracted in an instant, and he then looked at the people in front of him with a smile.


    Suddenly, Zhu Yuyan gave a charming smile,


    "This is indeed Tao Yu’s sincerity, and I should not fail to appreciate it. If the young master can really achieve the feat of integrating the Demon Strategy, let’s start with the Sky Demon Great Technique..."


    A man who understands the times is a wise man, and Zhu Yuyan knew when to hold and when to fold.


    She was clear about the weighing of pros and cons!


    Thus, the Sky Demon Great Technique, along with several other rare and strange magic skills, were left behind, and the Yin Gui Faction members also floated away.


    "Brother Tao, aren’t you afraid that they left fake secret manuals to deceive us?"


    "My Spirit Perception is strong; at least this time, they did not deceive us."


    Tao Yu collected the several secret manuals, leaving only the Sky Demon Great Technique.


    "It’s just as well that we have a journey ahead of us. Let everyone have a look, and see if there are any enlightening parallels..."


    With Zhang Sanfeng, the treasure of a man, here, Tao Yu certainly would not miss the chance to glean what he could.


    Now that Tao Yu’s own foundation of martial arts had already taken shape, but extracting the Sky Demon Great Technique to make it compatible with himself was also difficult, and he could only rely on the treasure of a man for help...
