Chapter 1196
With a faint smile on his face, Chen Xuan continued, "The last point, and the most crucial one, is that you must share with me without reservation all the information you have obtained about the Ancient Immortal Path Secret Realm."
"what?"
"Chen Xuan, you've gone too far!"
……
According to Gu Yingying, Qilin City possesses profound resources, second only to the Holy Land level in terms of power. The powerful figures among their ancestors had a deeper understanding of the ancient Immortal Realm's secret paths and realms, and the tribes of the Xuanxiao Great World were completely unaware of information such as the specific location of the Enlightenment Tree.
Seeing the crowd angrily rebuking him, and even Lin Yuqiong and Hongchen Zhenren showing hesitation, Chen Xuan's expression darkened slightly.
He had to lower his head slightly, lean close to Lin Yuyao's pink ear, and whisper, "See? You're a girl, you'll get married sooner or later. But you're still not married, and your own brother doesn't care about you at all. A piece of information could buy you your freedom, yet they're still hesitating."
Although Lin Yuyao was a noble young mistress of Qilin City, holding a position of great prestige, she was inexperienced in the ways of the world and knew nothing of the complexities and wickedness of human nature. Chen Xuan's divisive words instantly threw the young princess into disarray. She looked at her brother and senior sister with teary eyes, sobbing aggrievedly, tears streaming down her face.
"How about you live with me from now on? If I have any information, I'll definitely use it to exchange for your freedom without hesitation." Before Chen Xuan could finish speaking, he felt a sharp pain in the soft flesh of his waist. He turned his head and saw Zhan Xin rolling his eyes and glaring at him fiercely.
Chen Xuan quickly shrank his neck, gave Zhan Xin a wink, and then stopped his playful demeanor and became serious.
"I'll give you three breaths to think it over. After three breaths, you can leave as you see fit. But this little girl will be my sole responsibility, Chen Xuan."
"elder brother--"
"Chen Xuan, you win. I promise, I swear I will tell you everything I know about the secret realm and the place of opportunity." Lin Yuqiong wasn't really hesitating about whether to save his little sister because of a piece of information, but rather he was quickly sorting out which information he could reveal.
Regardless of the power, a clan's most core and top-secret heritage is its foundation. When learning supernatural abilities or perusing secret manuals, one must swear an oath, and such an oath will not be waived simply because you are a tribal prodigy or direct descendant. Therefore, he was merely calculating which valuable intelligence he could reveal to Chen Xuan.
"readily!"
Chen Xuan was secretly delighted, not expecting things to progress so smoothly and yield such results.
"I am Lin Yuqiong! In the mortal world, Lin Yuyao..."
As the cultivators of Qilin City swore their oaths to the Heavenly Dao, Chen Xuan dared not slacken his pace. He immediately released his divine sense to carefully examine each word. If even one word did not conform to his requirements, he was prepared to immediately make the other party swear a new oath.
If this matter is handled properly, there may not be too much trouble afterward; but if it is handled carelessly, the consequences could be disastrous.
Fortunately, with Chen Xuan and the other two paying close attention, all three conditions in the Heavenly Oath were met as Chen Xuan requested.
Waves of Heavenly Oath descended, binding the cultivators of Qilin City like ropes.
With the Heavenly Oath binding them, everyone immediately felt much more relaxed and no longer needed to be so tense.
Chen Xuan lowered his head, a hint of smugness on his face, and said to Lin Yuyao, "Little sister, you're really capable. It seems you are indeed the offspring of the ruler of Qilin City. Consider this a lesson for you; you'd better be more careful next time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xuan released his hand, withdrew the sword intent of the Great Dao that had dissipated into Lin Yuyao's body, and then gently pushed Lin Yuyao back into the camp of the Qilin City cultivators with a palm strike.
