Chapter 437: Chapter 390 Confrontation_2

And the matriarch would know another thing—

She was aware of the curse’s existence.

If she appeared as if she were not cursed, she would have passed the matriarch’s test, but then she would immediately face coercion from the family head.

The family head would know another thing—

Abner was not dead.

Moreover, she would not hand over the items; he would have to kill her to obtain them.

What would follow next?

The family head would certainly kill her to acquire those things.

Now was the time to make her choice.

Would she pretend to be cursed to deceive the family head, seeking a temporary retreat to survive;

or refuse to hand over anything and face the family head in a direct battle?

If there were a battle—

She wouldn’t need to think twice before choosing to fight.

However—

Wu Xiaode looked towards the Book of the Dead.

He saw his "End"—

Those two angels were still sleeping.

This time the situation was different from before.

At some point, a layer of golden threads had enveloped the two of them, densely woven into a cocoon.

—Hey! How did you turn into cocoons while sleeping!

Wu Xiaode’s combat spirit quickly subsided, and his expression gradually calmed.

His "Descent" was only basic, and his "Dark Tao Power" had just begun.

A few back and forth might deplete him.

Moreover, with his soul power, he could not bring out the true power of the Human Emperor’s Inheritance.

So—

Wu Xiaode turned around and spoke loudly, "There’s something wrong with what you said."

"What’s wrong?" the family head asked.

"I don’t know where you heard it from—but honestly, do you think I am a match for Caijing, the Divine Girl of the Ten Thousand Spirit Silence Association?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"You are definitely not her match," the family head said adamantly.

"Caijing has received the Human Emperor’s Inheritance in the Human Emperor’s secret realm, and she has inherited one of the Human Emperor’s Ends, beginning to learn everything about the Human Emperor," Wu Xiaode said.

The family head looked at him coldly and directly placed a black clock before Wu Xiaode.

"Let’s clarify this matter simply—"

"Speak before the Lie Death Bell!"

"If what you said just now was a lie, you will die immediately,"

the family head said indifferently.

Wu Xiaode looked at the funeral bell, only to see a line of Ice Frost text popping up beside it:

"This is a strange End, fixing life and death with word spirit, extremely difficult to break."

—They even have this!

It seemed the family head had already prepared everything in order to acquire the two treasures.

He was determined to obtain them!

Luckily, he too was prepared.

Wu Xiaode, without hesitation, stepped forward to the funeral bell and spoke:

"Caijing, in the Human Emperor’s secret realm, inherited one of the Human Emperor’s Ends and began to learn everything about the Human Emperor."

Drip, drip, drip—

The hands of the clock kept moving, but no other reaction occurred.

"It’s actually true."

the family head remarked.

He thought for a second and then asked, "What about you? Didn’t you receive anything?"

"That End was personally taught to her by the Human Emperor, while I did too few tasks in the secret realm and didn’t receive that type of teaching," Wu Xiaode calmly said.

The funeral bell continued to tick its second hand methodically.

There were no anomalies.

Wu Xiaode stood upright across from the coffee table, showing no signs of death.

Suddenly, he shook his head and sighed, making an offhand remark:

"Caijing is truly powerful; she can make time stop. Don’t you know her strength, family head?"

The family head paused for a moment, then asked, "What was your greatest gain in the Human Emperor’s secret realm?"

"Intelligence!" Wu Xiaode blurted out.

The Lie Death Bell suddenly stood up.

Wu Xiaode glared at it and yelled, "Look carefully, don’t act recklessly."

The funeral bell toppled back down.

Yes, the true inheritance of the Human Emperor was Wu Xiaode’s major gain.

But the future direction of the entire Epoch, as well as the upcoming changes in the secret realm, and the Heroic Spirits soon to open the world to lead all beings to fight against the great disaster—the information on this—

this is the biggest harvest!

For it relates not only to Wu Xiaode individually but to all beings in this Epoch.

Compared to all beings, what does the gain of a single Wu Xiaode count for?

"What information?" the Family Head asked.

Wu Xiaode furrowed his brow and said hesitantly, "This is something I intend to sell for money, Family Head."

"Did you really not receive the Human Emperor’s Inheritance?" the Family Head asked again.

"Didn’t I just say it? Let me repeat—Caijing received the End of Inheritance personally set by the Human Emperor, but still needs to continuously complete various tasks."

"Those things require Merit to learn."

Wu Xiaode took a breath and said loudly, word by word:

"I—did—not—get—that—thing—at—ALL!"

The Funeral Bell remained still.

A look of disappointment showed on the Family Head’s face.

He really didn’t get it.

The Funeral Bell also proved that Arian was telling the truth...

The truly valuable things are priceless; for someone of Arian’s caliber, getting an information to sell from the Human Emperor’s Secret Realm was already quite good.

Just one piece of information, and he was even planning to sell it.

How valuable could information for sale be?

Aside from the Human Emperor’s Inheritance, he really didn’t value anything else.

How pointless.

It would be too much to ask for this trash again from him.

It would appear not only graceless and greedy, but it might also make other family members feel unjust.

Forget it.

...The person who told him he had the Human Emperor’s Inheritance apparently had no good intentions.

Hmph.

A woman, truly thinking she could turn the heavens?

"You didn’t lie, that’s good—let’s talk about the Human Puppet Forging Skill," the Family Head said with a smile.

"Okay," Wu Xiaode said.

The other party had two demands, one was knocked down, one remained.

The remaining one was something he was originally going to give anyway.

Wu Xiaode, feeling the increasingly visible hostility emanating from the other party, said bluntly:

"I can give you the Human Puppet Forging Skill right now—"

Bang!

The room’s door opened.

The matriarch walked in and looked at Wu Xiaode, then at the Family Head.

"What is it?" the Family Head asked sternly.

Wu Xiaode made a timely gesture, appearing as if he was about to take something out of the Space Storage Equipment, but after the interruption, he immediately put it back.

Seeing this, the Family Head grew even more displeased.

This Qiong, after all, was from another family, how dare she previously deceive him by saying Arian had received the Human Emperor’s Inheritance!

Once this storm passes, he would find a chance to kill Arian, force all his secrets out from his soul.

If it turns out this woman was faking it, she would die too.

In just a fleeting moment.

The fate of two people was decided in the Family Head’s mind.

"The Council’s people have arrived," the matriarch said.

"Let them wait a moment, I’ll finish here immediately—Arian, give me the Human Puppet Forging Skill," the Family Head said.

"I can give it to you, but I don’t want the position of the next Family Head," Wu Xiaode said.

The Family Head looked at him.

Wu Xiaode touched his nose and smiled, saying:

"I’ve thought it over, enhancing my personal strength is most important, the position of Family Head is too remote, it can’t help me restore the family’s honor."

"What do you want?" the Family Head asked.

"Bring out anything that could catch my eye, I’ll trade with you," Wu Xiaode said, rubbing his hands.

The Family Head looked at him, his expression complex, then suddenly burst into laughter and shook his head:

"Alright, my collection is vast; just don’t get dazzled."

"I won’t be greedy," Wu Xiaode said.

The Council’s people had already arrived!

The Family Head would be eager to have the Forging Skill, ready to negotiate a price with the Council’s people.

Now he urgently needed the Human Puppet Forging Skill and since the Council’s people had arrived, it wouldn’t be right to kill him.

Maybe he would kill him later.

—But this moment was the only chance to demand benefits!
