After his thoughts entered the jade slip, Xiao Muyang saw countless ancient characters suspended in the space, dazzling with light. At the same time, a black air flow diffused from the jade slip and entered Cheng Ze's body.
Although the black air flow was very weak, it still did not escape Xiao Muyang's perception. A cold light flashed in his eyes. Qi Yue must have put this power in his body back then!
The dark air spread silently in Cheng Ze's body, sneaked into his blood and bones, and even spread to his mind, seeming to want to erode Cheng Ze's soul.
"Can even the soul be corroded?" Xiao Muyang was a little shocked in his heart. Now he finally understood why people who practice secret arts are willing to surrender to Qi Yue.
If they disobey, their bodies will no longer belong to him, and Qi Yue can control them by force, just like he controlled Cheng Ze's body.
Xiao Muyang hid his thoughts. He guessed that Qi Yue's thoughts were contained in them. If Qi Yue discovered his existence, the plan might change.
Just as Xiao Muyang guessed, Qi Yue's thoughts were contained in the dark airflow, but it was just a ray of thought. Under Xiao Muyang's deliberate concealment, nothing could be noticed about that ray of thought.
In the following time, Xiao Muyang concentrated on understanding the secret techniques in the jade slips, and the shock in his heart became stronger and stronger.
This secret technique is truly heaven-defying. It can help practitioners maximize the potential in their bodies and break bottlenecks.
In other words, it is overdrafting the body's potential.
The vast majority of people can only activate their potential to 50%. If they can activate their potential to 60%, they are considered geniuses, and if they can activate more than 70%, they are monsters. It is difficult to find one among millions of people.
Although this secret technique can stimulate the body's potential, it will cause irreparable damage to the foundation. When the practice reaches the end, it is almost impossible to go further.
Because of this, the strength of those who rely on secret techniques to break through the realm is between the middle-grade supreme and the high-grade supreme. Their foundation has been damaged, and they are not considered high-grade supreme in the true sense.
However, Xiao Muyang couldn't figure it out. Qi Yue himself also practiced this secret technique, but he didn't seem to be negatively affected. Not only was his strength stronger than those in the same realm, but his cultivation level also improved.
After thinking for a while, he thought of a possibility.
Perhaps, this is not a complete secret.
How shrewd Qi Yue is, how could he cut off his own cultivation path so easily? The secret technique he practices is probably not what he sees in front of him. With Qi Yue's cunning and insidious character, it is impossible to hand over the real treasure to others.
In fact, Xiao Muyang guessed half of it right. What he saw in front of him was not the complete secret technique. But what he didn't know was that in order to improve his strength in a short time, Qi Yue forcibly swallowed the power of others, which led to the complete destruction of his own practice. If it is cut off, it will be impossible to reach the supreme state in a lifetime.
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, seven days passed.
Xiao Muyang has been staying in the pavilion for the past seven days. It seems to outsiders that he is practicing. In fact, he is secretly monitoring Qi Yue, but he does not show anything strange and has been waiting for the opportunity to come.
On this day, a voice suddenly sounded in Xiao Muyang's mind. It was from Ouyang Ye. He had arrived at Shengxuan City.
Not only Ouyang Ye arrived, but also leaders of top forces such as Luo Qianchuan, Mo Tianren, and Bone Dragon King also arrived, as well as a heavyweight, the sword god Song Chunqiu.
A terrifying edge flashed in Xiao Muyang's eyes, and he could finally take action.
In the palace where Qi Yue lived, the powerful men were concentrating on understanding the secrets in the jade slips, and the space was very quiet.
At this moment, Cheng Ze suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Qi Yue and shouted angrily: "You actually poisoned us!"
After saying these words, the others immediately exited the cultivation state, with shocked looks on their faces. Are you going to poison them?
Qi Yue glanced at Cheng Ze indifferently, feeling a little strange. No one had noticed it before. How did this person find out?
But now is not the time to think about this. The top priority is to stabilize the emotions of others.
"It's ridiculous. I want to kill you in just one thought. Where is the need to poison me? You think too highly of yourself." Qi Yue said with an indifferent expression: "I kindly gave you the secret technique to practice, but you slandered me. Do you think I have no temper?"
Qi Yue's voice was very low, as if he was suppressing anger.
At this time, other people's faces kept changing, and their hearts were extremely uneasy.
They thought Qi Yue's words made sense. After all, Qi Yue was far stronger than them. It was so easy to kill them, and there was no need to go to the trouble of poisoning them.
But Cheng Ze would not slander Qi Yue for no reason. There must be some reason. Mr. Tai'a gave Cheng Ze something before. Was it because of that thing that Cheng Ze discovered something unusual?
For a moment, they didn't know who to believe.
"He poisoned the jade slips. Before the poison has completely spread, there is still a chance for treatment to detoxify it. Otherwise, it will completely fall under his control." Cheng Ze looked at everyone and said loudly. After speaking, he walked towards the main hall. Shoot outside.
Seeing Cheng Ze leaving directly, everyone else panicked, not afraid of ten thousand but afraid of what might happen. If they were really poisoned, they couldn't imagine the consequences.
"Royal Lord, we bid farewell." Voices came out one after another, and everyone rushed out of the hall and gave up practicing secret techniques.
Qi Yue's eyes instantly became extremely terrifying, and an extremely terrifying coercion roared out of his body. In an instant, the entire hall was shrouded in coercion, and the space became extremely heavy, as if it had solidified.
The faces of the powerful men suddenly froze, and they felt as if their bodies were stuck in a swamp, unable to move at all. At this moment, they completely believed Cheng Ze's words. Qi Yue had really poisoned their bodies, otherwise he would not have stopped them.
Qi Yue's pressure also fell on Cheng Ze. A long purple sword appeared in Cheng Ze's hand, and an astonishing sword power burst out from the sword, directly breaking Qi Yue's pressure.
"Tai'a Sword!" The strong men's eyes flashed, and their hearts shook violently. The gentleman actually handed the Tai'a Sword to Cheng Ze, which was too good for him.
After breaking through the pressure, Cheng Ze's body shot out of the hall like a sharp arrow and disappeared from the sight of the crowd in an instant.
Qi Yue did not chase him out. If he did, these people would take the opportunity to escape and could only look away.
Qi Yue's face looked particularly ugly, not only because the plan was exposed, but also because a middle-grade supreme master slipped away under his nose like this, which was a great shame and humiliation.
At this time, he had no idea that all of this was Xiao Muyang's plan!
