Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2748: Chapter 2749: The Formation of the Evil Embryo

This sentence is far more effective than any threat. Shi Chang immediately let go of Wu Jun, dispersed his Dharma Aspect, and exclaimed in terror, "No!"

"No what?" Xue An asked leisurely, simultaneously applying more pressure, pinching Xu Gaotian’s throat so that it made a rasping sound as his eyes rolled back.

"Don’t kill my son!" Shi Chang’s voice was hoarse and his eyes full of fear.

Xue An laughed.

A smile with a hint of mockery.

"Your son? Are you sure he is really your son?"

Wu Ai, who was injured, trembled all over, vaguely guessed something, and looked at Xue An with blazing eyes.

Shi Chang’s face showed no sign of change, but he stared intently at the hand that Xue An used to pinch Xu Gaotian’s neck. Every time Xue An’s fingers moved, Shi Chang’s eyelids would twitch.

That deep father-son bond was enough to move anyone.

At least Qie Weilan, sitting in the corner, had a thought flash through her mind.

This guy may not be a good person, but he is indeed quite good to his son.

As for Xu Gaotian, he struggled to utter a sentence from his throat.

"Father, save..."

But in the next moment, Xue An mercilessly cut off the rest of his words with a hand at his throat.

Xue An then gave a faint smile, "Such a beautiful scene of fatherly kindness and filial piety makes me somewhat reluctant!"

Shi Chang was almost driven mad with anxiety, looked up at Xue An, "Tell me, what conditions will you accept to let my son go?"

"You seem very concerned for your son." Xue An answered irrelevantly.

"Nonsense, how could I not care about my own son, he is my bloodline!" Shi Chang said hoarsely.

"Enough!" Xue An shouted, then the corner of his mouth curled into a cold smile.

"Shi Chang, you’re overacting."

Many people looked bewildered, unable to understand the situation before them.

From the beginning of their conversation, many people were already in a daze.

Xue An held Xu Gaotian hostage, and Shi Chang kept pleading to save his son, but the words coming out of Xue An’s mouth were odd.

Especially the line "Are you sure he is your son?" which led many to have wild thoughts.

Could this Xu Gaotian really not be Shi Chang’s bloodline?

But judging by his deeply anxious expression, it doesn’t seem to be a pretense. What exactly is going on then?

"I don’t know what you’re talking about, I just want to save my son, so name your price!" Shi Chang said earnestly.

Xue An did not respond to him, but extended a finger, "There are two doubts, the first is that at your level of cultivation, you should have long since become indifferent to worldly matters. Even if he is your true blood son, you shouldn’t be so urgently anxious."

Shi Chang remained expressionless, continued staring intensely at Xu Gaotian, as if he hadn’t heard a word from Xue An.

Seeing this, Xue An snorted coldly, then extended a second finger.

"The second is... actually from the first moment I saw this Xu Gaotian, I smelled a scent."

"An extremely evil scent!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Chang’s expression finally changed dramatically.

"You..."

"Wondering how I know, right?" Xue An spoke languidly.

"Actually, at first I wasn’t quite sure until I saw you value him so much, willing to pay any price for him, then I finally realized he is actually not your son at all!"

"Ridiculous, if he is not my son then what is he?" Shi Chang forced a laugh, but his face had lost its previous calmness, instead showing a hint of panic.

Xue An did not respond to him, but rather quietly recited, "In ancient times, there was a Secret Technique capable of forming a malicious embryo, refining avatars, and after it matures, devouring it allows one to ascend a major realm directly!"

With each word Xue An said, Shi Chang’s face became paler, until after Xue An finished, his face was as white as paper or snow.

Actually, not only him, everyone in the room had fallen into shock.

Even Wu Jun, who was just thrown aside and was gasping for breath in the corner to recover, was startled.

Because he had also heard his master mention this kind of Secret Technique.

However, this kind of Secret Technique is typically prevalent within the evil faction of nefarious beings, outsiders scarcely hear of it, and even if they do, very few use it.

Because this technique is extraordinarily time-consuming and mentally exhausting, firstly needing to form a malicious embryo, which requires conglomerating a considerable amount of evil thoughts, just this prerequisite can deter most people.

And even if you gather the astronomical amount of evil thoughts needed and successfully form the embryo, it’s only the beginning.

Because afterwards, you have to meticulously nurture this malicious embryo, raising it to adulthood, and at the same time ensure continuous guidance of the evil thoughts within its growth.

Only then can you ensure a smooth devouring process later on.

Simply explaining these tasks is cumbersome enough, let alone implementing them.

Moreover, any subtle variable during this entire process can jeopardize all prior efforts.

Such as if the malicious embryo becomes aware during nurturing, then it’s possible for it to turn hostile and become a mortal enemy.

Under all these restrictions, this wickedly heinous Secret Technique gradually became lost.

Yet, unexpectedly, today it resurfaces here in Ling’an City, in Shi Chang’s hands.

"Am I right, Shi Chang?" Xue An asked calmly.

Shi Chang’s facial expressions shifted unpredictably, finally he broke into a sinister laugh.

"It’s truly unexpected, that a mere Human Clan youth with merely fifth-grade prowess could know these things. That’s right! He is indeed the malicious embryo I raised painstakingly."

Upon hearing his confession, Tang Zheng who was on stage grunted heavily, his figure swayed a few times, almost collapsing.

Because he was in fear, and regret.

Fearful of having collaborated with such a malicious person, regretful that it took him this long to realize.

If he truly helped Shi Chang to let Xu Gaotian win the title of this literary assembly, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Tang Zheng couldn’t help but perspire heavily, the brilliance in his eyes dimming considerably.

Just this one thought, although not confronted directly, Tang Zheng’s strength dropped by more than thirty percent.

This is because as a great scholar by means of literature, his most important cultivation method is having open-minded thoughts and acting without regret.

Only thus can he maintain the stability of his literary vein.

Yet now, due to a momentary lapse, he engaged privately with Shi Chang, nearly leading to disaster.

This caused significant damage to his literary vein foundation.

Seemingly sensing his anomaly, Yun Lingxuan walked forward, gently sighed, "Actually, I really can’t understand, what exactly did Shi Chang offer you that could move you, make you collaborate with him?"

Tang Zheng spat out the clotted blood in his mouth, smiling bitterly, "He said that after this succeeds, he would help me find the Ancient Mirror fragments, I know Ms. Yun, you have been searching for this item, so..."

"So you agreed to him?"

Tang Zheng fell silent.
