Mu Hanyan was lucky, otherwise, he might not have been able to save him in such a rush.
After hearing his explanation, Mu Hanyan also felt a chill of fear. Before, Fourth Miss Zhao and others thought she was lucky, but she knew it wasn’t about luck. It was either guidance from the Star Illusion Thousand Machine or help from the memories of her former life. This time, however, she truly was lucky.
"So dangerous, how should I use it then?" Mu Hanyan calmed her emotions and asked Pang Dezong.
Although Divine Artifacts are desirable, they’re not worth losing one’s life over. Mu Hanyan had already vaguely guessed that Pang Dezong had no good intentions in giving her the Cangxuan Cloud Silk.
"My mentor once taught me a few Hand Formations to suppress its power," Pang Dezong replied.
"Why didn’t you say so earlier? Teach me those Hand Formations first," Mu Hanyan rolled her eyes as she spoke. After spending so much time with Star Illusion Thousand Machine, she had inadvertently picked up this bad habit.
"Wait, let me finish. The reason why Cangxuan Cloud Silk is called a Divine Artifact is that it has developed a bit of Spirituality, and its hidden power changes from time to time. Therefore, the Hand Formations aren’t rigid; the order of use changes each time. At my Realm, I can use my cultivation to forcefully suppress it regardless of the order, but with your strength, if you use the wrong sequence, you won’t be able to fully suppress its power and could be severely injured. So think it over carefully, whether you want it or not. If you decide against it, naturally, I won’t easily teach you the Hand Formations," Pang Dezong explained, waving his hands.
He had been led around by the nose by Mu Hanyan a great deal earlier and knew this guy was no fool, so he hadn’t kept this hidden from him.
However, he wasn’t worried that Mu Hanyan would give up. Such Divine Artifacts were scarce, even in the entirety of the Holy Court Continent. Even if they weren’t usable now, there would eventually be a time when they would be, and he didn’t believe there was anyone in the world who could resist such a temptation.
Of course, he also didn’t believe that Mu Hanyan, having obtained the Cangxuan Cloud Silk, could wait until he advanced to the Sword Saint Realm before using it. Carrying such a treasure but only being able to look at it, unable to use it for decades or even a hundred years, possibly never getting the chance—who could have such patience?
Even if he thought he had that kind of patience, how many days could he endure once he actually obtained it?
In short, Pang Dezong was convinced that Mu Hanyan would definitely not give up and that it wouldn’t be long before she was destroyed by the Cangxuan Cloud Silk. As long as he was patient, there would eventually be a way to get the Divine Artifact back into his hands. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel★fire.net
With his identity and strength, he didn’t dare to openly harm Mu Hanyan, but who could prevent him from acting in secret?
"I’ll take it," Mu Hanyan made her decision without much hesitation.
Perhaps to the vast majority of Sword Saints in the world, reaching the Sword Saint Realm was an unachievable goal, and Pang Dezong might think the same of her, but she knew very well that the Holy-grade was not far out of her reach.
That is to say, even if she couldn’t completely suppress the terrifying power within it, the Cangxuan Cloud Silk would soon prove useful in her hands, and she did have the patience for it.
"Are you really decided?" Everything was as he had expected, Pang Dezong secretly smiled, but still he asked again.
"I’ve decided," Mu Hanyan affirmed with a nod.
"Alright, then make an oath," Pang Dezong wasn’t quite at ease with Mu Hanyan, fearing a change of mind. As he spoke, he simply threw a Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill and a Seven-Transformation Refining Qi Pill to Mu Hanyan.
