fifth form

Chapter 3621 Dispatch Jinchang
When one's luck improves, things will become exceptionally smooth.

For example, Zhang Xuezhou repeatedly failed to unleash his aging technique, but he succeeded on his first attempt after gaining good fortune.

He wanted to find Jin Chang to obtain the inheritance of the Yin-Yang Secret Realm Formation. Before he even went to Shouchun City in Huainan, Jin Chang had already run to Laoshu Hutong. He even happened to see Jin Chang coercing Zhou Bugui.

"Junior brother, no matter how much you boast, you're still the same."

When Zhou Bugui faced Jin Chang in his early years, he chose to resist to the death. However, after learning about Zhang Xuezhou's experience in defeating Jin Chang, he chose to cooperate and suffered less torment.

Carefully pulling the puppet silk from his arm, Zhou Bugui looked at Jin Chang, whose lower body was bleeding, and couldn't help but sigh.

"This guy's boasting is so loud, he's blown his own ox away!"

After Zhou Bugui made a few simple sarcastic remarks, Jin Chang's face turned a purplish-red.

"Uncle-Master, we meet again?"

Zhang Xuezhou asked with a grin, then used his finger to measure Jin Chang's lower dantian. His actions caused Jin Chang to break out in a cold sweat.

"What are you going to do?" Jin Chang asked through gritted teeth.

"It's nothing," Zhang Xuezhou said. "With Godfather here, let's settle this matter today. I'd like to see if you choose to die, become crippled, or if there are other options?"

"You...you...I'll cooperate!"

Jin Chang's face showed a hint of despair.

People from the Yin-Yang School always have a smiling face, but when they do something, they are more ruthless than anyone else.

Jin Chang knew all too well what Zhang Xuezhou's expression meant, after all, he was the same way. If he didn't handle it properly, Jin Chang believed that Zhang Xuezhou's right hand would come crashing down without hesitation.

His gaze inadvertently swept over Zhang Xuezhou's left hand, which should have been severed by the puppet silk. He saw that there was nothing left on the left hand except for a residual white mark. He felt that Zhang Xuezhou's ability was stronger than before. Even though he had obtained sharper and more resilient puppet silk, he was still unable to do anything to his opponent.

"How do you operate the grand formation in the Yin-Yang Secret Realm?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

“I’ve already taken you in and controlled it once, and I even gave you a Tai-level sixth-grade talisman. You can ask me other questions now,” Jin Chang said through gritted teeth.

“I’ve retrieved Zhou Ji’s head, and I’ve also retrieved the array artifacts belonging to our Yin-Yang Secret Realm,” Zhang Xuezhou shrugged. “What I want to know is how to control the arrays that the Yin-Yang School set up in the secret realm. Don’t tell me you don’t know about this!”

"You... retrieved your master's remains?"

Jin Chang's pained face turned into one of astonishment, and Zhou Bugui's previously mocking expression also turned serious.

"If you want to hug your grandmaster's head and cry your heart out, I can let you use it for a bit, but remember to return it when you're done crying!"

Zhang Xuezhou tugged at the skull wrapped in silk on the back, grabbed it in his palm, and handed it out.

"The patriarch's head is poisoned!"

Jin Chang endured the pain and reached out to touch it, then quickly withdrew his hand.

"There's still a tiny bit of poison left, but don't worry, this poison is quite old, it won't kill you!"

Zhang Xuezhou flipped through the skull, and Zhou Bugui, moved by the sight, couldn't help but wipe away a tear. Jin Chang, after washing away the poison, also let out a heavy sigh.

The master of Zhou Bugui and others cannot be identified by just anyone. A skull is difficult to prove their identity, but poison is different, as it can indicate the means by which they died.

Zhang Xuezhou also possessed array artifacts from the Yin-Yang School, which further confirmed the skull's identity.

"The King said that your attempt to decipher the Yin-Yang Secret Pill was a delusion, and even if you did, you would lack the materials to successfully refine it. At that time, I was confused and thought it was impossible. Then, I used the King's pill to achieve my true self." Jin Chang gritted his teeth and said, "I am useless. I am only after fame, fortune and personal gain. I have forgotten that I come from the Yin-Yang School and have never coveted our school!"

“Our school once plotted with the Qin Dynasty, and we were targeted the most. It’s good that our master’s remains have been retrieved!” Zhou Bugui sighed.

Other schools of thought were at least suppressed by the Han Dynasty, resulting in only a handful remaining, but the Yin-Yang School almost disappeared.

If it weren't for the Yin-Yang School having a jade heirloom, the Yin-Yang school would have long since disappeared.

Although they could still inherit the legacy, they lacked the guidance of a great master from their sect. Zhou Bugui ended up as a traveling alchemist, while Jin Chang became a guest minister under the King of Huainan.

Zhou Bugui's master was an outer disciple of the Yin-Yang School, and throughout his life he only reached the Transformation Realm, never even entering the realm of supernatural powers.

Zhou Ji, on the other hand, was the legitimate leader of the Yin-Yang School, whose cultivation had reached the True Self Realm, making him arguably the last strong individual among the Yin-Yang School's cultivators.

"From this day forward, you are the head of the Yin-Yang School. I have no face to continue to safeguard the Yin-Yang School's legacy!"

Jin Chang acted inconsistently, but dared not speak recklessly when faced with the skull of the founder of the Yin-Yang School.

He twisted his body and carefully took out a piece of white jade hidden at his waist, then handed it to Zhang Xuezhou.

"The information you requested is recorded in the Inheritance Jade," Jin Chang sighed. "The other half is with my senior brother!"

"I've wanted to give this piece to Xuezhou for a long time, but unfortunately Xuezhou has no interest in inheriting the school!"

Zhou Bugui touched his storage bag, cast a spell, and then took out a piece of inheritance jade.

These two heirloom jades, one green and one red, resemble array artifacts from a Yin-Yang secret formation. They can even be matched and inlaid together.

“Our poor, destitute school only has these two jades left,” Zhou Bugui sighed.

"And as for us two good-for-nothings, I will no longer target my senior brother or the sect leader. I will be at your beck and call whenever needed," Jin Chang said through gritted teeth. "Whatever the sect leader orders me to do, I will do it!"

"Hey, why does this sound so casual? You think our Yin-Yang School can just do this and be done with it?" Zhang Xuezhou said, "I can become the sect leader just by bringing back my head, and you'll all forgive and forget about each other and be at my beck and call?"

“This is something our master instructed us to do. Whoever can retrieve the patriarch’s head will become the leader of our Yin-Yang School. Although Jin Chang’s personality is a bit extreme, he wouldn’t be so rebellious as to betray our sect.” Zhou Bugui sighed, “We have been mediocre all our lives, wandering around. We haven’t even been able to touch the patriarch’s remains. We never thought we could accomplish this in our generation, so we never told you!”

"Really? Do we really have such a rule?"

Zhang Xuezhou looked at Jin Chang with a puzzled expression, while Jin Chang nodded emphatically, acknowledging what Zhou Bugui had said.

"Then I'll ask you to steal the Yin-Yang Secret Pill from the King of Huainan. Can you do that?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

“If you have any requests or instructions, I will certainly be willing to do them if I am suitable to do them,” Jin Chang said.

"Can it be done in three days?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

“Three days is only enough for me to travel between Chang’an and Shouchun. I may need two more days to carry out my mission,” Jin Chang said through gritted teeth.

"Alright, then five days it is. If you don't report back to Chang'an within five days, I'll come looking for you. Remember, the more Yin-Yang Secret Pills you bring, the better!"

Zhang Xuezhou stared at Jin Chang, slowly opening his clenched left hand.

He looked at Jin Chang, who was trembling slightly and covered in cold sweat, and didn't mind letting him go one more time.

Zhang Xuezhou had little concept of schools of thought and didn't trust Jin Chang that much, so he simply gave Jin Chang a difficult problem.

Jin Chang was completely outmatched by him, and even his cultivation level couldn't compensate for the deficiency. As long as Zhang Xuezhou knew Jin Chang's location, he could capture him again.

As long as Jin Chang doesn't go so far as to kill and retaliate, even if someone is controlled by Jin Chang, Zhang Xuezhou can use his control over speed to defeat him when they meet, and even quickly kill him with the Fish Intestine Sword.

He agreed to the time, Jin Chang took three steps back, bowed, and then leaped into the shadows and ran away.
