The First Tyrant of Daxia

Chapter 4484 The Truth about the Jade Pendant

Zhao Xuan covered his arm which was bleeding continuously and stared at Qin Yun who was approaching him anxiously.

"What do you want? As far as I know, the Huanmie Sect has not conquered the territory of Daxia at all. What's more, we are targeting the border of Daxia, an area with almost no spiritual energy fluctuations. Why bother to kill them?"

These identical words annoyed Qin Yun. "Every inch of Daxia's territory was won by soldiers who shed blood and sweat. Are you trying to cover up your crimes by saying there is no spiritual power fluctuation? As long as you step into Daxia's territory, whether it is the border or the imperial capital, it is a provocation to the authority of our Daxia Empire!"

Zhao Xuan was immediately speechless after hearing this. He could not think of any other rebuttal and could only use the anger in his eyes as a substitute. Zhao Xuan's fighting power was more than half lost due to the broken arm. In order to prevent future troubles, Qin Yun immediately planned to kill him, but his eyes fell on the jade pendant on his waist, and the Ding Qin Sword in his hand paused for a moment.

When Qin Yun stretched out his hand and was about to take the jade pendant, Zhao Xuan suddenly became furious and summoned the Xuantian Avenue again.

It’s a pity that the same ending as Tianshu’s, the imperial sword art that formed perfect suppression could not be challenged. Even Zhao Xuan, who was at the peak of his strength, could not do it, let alone him who had a broken arm now.

Seeing Qin Yun approaching the jade pendant, Zhao Xuan was impatient: "Qin Yun, I'm warning you! Don't try to get this jade pendant. Tianshu is trying to trick you!"

In the end, Zhao Xuan was all talk and no action. His energy and spiritual power were unable to condense at all, but his words were merciless.

The moment Qin Yun touched the jade pendant, Zhao Xuan could no longer suppress his indignation and shouted hurriedly: "Tianshu lied to you! To be honest with you, Qin Yun, there are too many leaders in the Huanmie Sect to count, and they don't care about the life and death of Tianshu and me, but this jade pendant is the symbol of the Huanmie Sect's military power!" "If the jade pendant is lost, the Great Xia Empire will surely be destroyed! You alone are far from being a match for the Huanmie Sect!"

Hearing this, Qin Yun finally stopped moving and looked at Zhao Xuan in confusion: "What did you say? This jade pendant is not the foundation of your energy and spiritual power, but the symbol of the Illusion Sect's military power?"

Zhao Xuan nodded vigorously, "That's right. Tianshu knew he couldn't survive, but he wanted to bite me back! The jade pendant is the symbol of military power for this expedition. It controls all the disciples of the Huanmie Sect who are going on the expedition. The sect recognizes only the jade pendants, not people. As long as the jade pendant is still there, even if Tianshu and I die in battle, the Huanmie Sect won't care."

Qin Yun was confused by these words for a moment. Zhao Xuan's words were totally unfounded. Even if the jade pendant was really a symbol of military power, why did he tell him?

Qin Yun was silent for a moment, then asked, "Then why did you tell me? You knew I would not let you go back alive. Isn't it a good opportunity to use the jade pendant's military power to ask the Huanmie Sect to attack the Great Xia Empire?"

Zhao Xuan's heart was hanging in the air, and he said anxiously, "No, I am different from Tianshu. He is helpless and has no worries. He can die if he wants! But I have a wife and children, and a family. I brought the jade pendant with me from the sect. If the jade pendant is lost, the powerful will not spare my wife and children."

This explanation made sense, and it made Qin Yun hesitate.

In order to verify Zhao Xuan's words, Qin Yun took off the jade pendant and placed it in his hand. After examining it carefully, he found that the jade pendant was not a sacred object and did not contain any special spiritual power. It was not even as good as the token held by the powerful man of Lingkong Sect. Although it was made of high-quality jade, it was not precious in the Holy Realm.

In this way, Tianshu's lies were self-defeating. The jade pendant was definitely not the foundation of Zhaoxuan's energy and spiritual power, because it could not contain any energy at all.

It is more convincing that Zhao Xuan faced death and lived to protect his wife and children.

Because he had already made the plan to die to prove his integrity, he had taken back all his aura, and hid all his skills. Compared to Tianshu, who was trapped in the Jingjue invasion array and still uneasy, Zhaoxuan's words were obviously more convincing.

Qin Yun no longer hesitated, took off the jade pendant, and held the Qin Sword against his neck: "I will spare your life today. Whether you return to the Huanmie Sect is entirely up to you. Similarly, Tianshu will not die. I will use this jade pendant to order the Huanmie Sect disciples to withdraw. As long as they do as I say, I will let you go."

Hearing this, Zhao Xuan, who had already prepared to die to prove his integrity, felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

He has told Qin Yun all the secrets. Dying here is his best destination. It will not affect his wife and children, and he can leave a good reputation of dying in battle. Compared with losing the jade pendant and being executed along with his entire family, it is better to die.

But he never expected that Qin Yun had never thought of killing them from beginning to end, and the murderous intent he showed was just to break their psychological defenses.

Zhao Xuan immediately said, "No! Qin Yun, you must let me die in the territory of Da Xia. Otherwise, if I lose the jade pendant and return to Huanmie Sect, my entire family will be executed! Please help me!" Seeing his useless appearance, Qin Yun said disdainfully, "Who said that I let you lose the jade pendant and return? I will use the jade pendant to order the Huanmie Sect disciples to withdraw their troops, and then return it to you. Of course, if there is any mistake in the middle, I will personally let you return to Huanmie Sect on the premise of losing the jade pendant!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chuntang and Xiao Jian had already dealt with the remaining disciples.

Qin Yun ordered his men to return to the Huafu Tianqing Mountains, taking Zhao Xuan with him, and go to the front battlefield together.

During the journey, Zhao Xuan said nothing and had no intention of defending himself. He did not mention a word about the jade pendant, which made Qin Yun guess that what Zhao Xuan said was true.

When Qin Yun and his group returned to the Huafu Tianqing Mountains, Dongfang Tianxiang and his group had already pushed the battle line back to the edge.

After walking a few dozen miles further, they left the territory of Daxia. This level was far from enough for the Daxia Empire. What Qin Yun wanted was that they would not set foot on the border at all. Arriving at the Qingshan Sect's position, Qin Yun retracted the formation and released Tianshu.

Tianshu and Zhaoxuan looked at each other, and the latter shouted angrily: "You hypocritical fellow! You chose to betray me! You and I have been from the same clan for a hundred years, it's a joke!"

Tianshu was also extremely shocked. He didn't expect Zhao Xuan to be still alive. He naively thought that Qin Yun had killed him long ago.

Qin Yun didn't pay attention to the quarrel between the two. He stood on the cliff with the jade pendant in his hand, overlooking the entire Huafu Tianqing Mountain Range. Facing the invading disciples of the Huanmie Sect, he raised the jade pendant and spoke loudly.

"Disciples of the Huanmie Sect! Withdraw your troops immediately and return to the sect. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as these words came out, the war on the front line ended instantly. All the disciples of the Illusion Sect and the soldiers of Daxia came together for their reputation. Qin Yun was enough to deter the soldiers, and the jade pendant was enough to deter the disciples of the Illusion Sect. Seeing clearly what Qin Yun held in his hand, all the disciples of the Illusion Sect retreated and left the territory of Daxia as quickly as possible.
