Chapter 1513: Chapter 1508: Swearing an Oath in the Holy Hall_1 Chapter 1513: Chapter 1508: Swearing an Oath in the Holy Hall_1 “Exactly, this cultivation method is something we worked hard to research, how can we just hand it over to someone else?”

A majority of the Shadow Clan members held on to the old-fashioned view that their cultivation methods were passed down by their ancestors and could not be casually taught to others. Only they could enjoy them, believing themselves to be unique.

Upon hearing that the clanspeople shared this view, Zang Feng sighed helplessly.

“Great Elder, I also think this is inappropriate… ”

“All of you shut up!” Zang Feng said coldly, “So, you all think that the cultivation method shouldn’t be shared? Then tell me, how can we make this kid agree to our demands? Whoever can come up with a proper solution, I will reward them handsomely!”

“This…”

For a moment, the clanspeople were silent, not knowing what to say.

It took a while before a Shadow Clan member, who had reached the Spirit Plate Stage and considered himself of high status, muttered, “If it comes to it, we can just not open the Secret Realm. Our Shadow Clan has stood tall for many years without relying on this Secret Realm!”

“How foolish and presumptuous!” Zang Feng angrily rebuked, “Give up the Secret Realm? The real secret left by our Ancestor is hidden within the Secret Realm. The treasures contained within are the true treasures. With these treasures, we may have a chance to unify the Four Sea Clans, becoming kings or even expanding our territories, and possibly challenging the Hegemonic Clan. Your way of thinking is simply shortsighted!”

“This…”

Upon hearing Zang Feng’s words, many Shadow Clan members were silenced.

Indeed, the Secret Realm passed down by their Ancestor contained the true treasures left behind by their Ancestor. However, for so many years, the Shadow Clan had not been able to find pure human bloodlines and could not open it at all.

Zang Feng exuded a chilling aura as he said, “I will report this matter to the Clan Leader when we return. I will bring Yang Chen back with me, and I believe the Clan Leader will support my decision. If you have no ability to make him agree, then don’t speak anymore.”

Although the Shadow Clan members were displeased, Zang Feng was the Great Elder of the clan, holding a position equal to the Clan Leader. They had no choice but to agree.

Meanwhile, Zang Feng approached Yang Chen and asked, “Yang Chen, my friend, is this your only condition?”

Yang Chen nodded, “Only this!”

He knew the saying that greed would lead to nothing. This was enough for him.

Zang Feng nodded gently. He was afraid that Yang Chen would make excessive demands. However, it seemed that just the cultivation method was not impossible to agree to.

“If Yang Chen, my friend, wishes to obtain our clan’s cultivation method, it is actually possible. However, according to our clan’s rules, you must swear a special oath in front of our Holy Hall that the cultivation methods can only be practiced and read by yourself, and never be taught to a second person. This is the bottom line of our Shadow Clan!” Zang Feng said.

“Swear in the Holy Hall?” Yang Chen was confused.

The Iron Eagle Lord narrowed his eyes, “Yang Chen, you better think this through!”

“Elder Iron Eagle, what’s this Holy Hall Oath all about?” Yang Chen didn’t understand.

As Iron Eagle Lord had once roamed the Four Sea Clans, he understood the matter clearly. He explained, “Swearing in the Holy Hall means you swear in front of the Shadow Clan’s Holy Hall. Once you make that pledge, the power of the oath will bind you for life. If you violate the oath, no matter where you are, you will certainly die!”

Zang Feng looked at Yang Chen, “That’s how cruel the Holy Hall Oath is, but it’s also the bottom line of our Shadow Clan. If Yang Chen finds this unreasonable, then we can only call off the deal.”

Yang Chen knew that the Shadow Clan’s request was not excessive. After all, if he were to spread the cultivation method widely, it would be something the Shadow Clan could never accept. This was fundamental to their standing in the Four Sea Clans’ domain.

Yang Chen replied with his hands behind his back, “I have no issue with making an oath, but I must see the Holy Hall when the time comes!”

“Of course, we will grant Yang Chen’s reward only after Yang Chen has fully proven that his bloodline can open the Secret Realm,” Zang Feng said amiably.

Yang Chen nodded, “In that case, when do we set out?”

“We should not delay any longer. Let’s go now,” Zang Feng replied.

“Alright then, let’s go,” Yang Chen didn’t hesitate, as he was eager to return to the Human Clan’s territory.

After all, the war had just ended, and Ling Yan had mentioned that a great event was about to happen. Yang Chen couldn’t afford to take it lightly.

“Please!” Zang Feng said.

Without delay, Yang Chen followed closely behind Zang Feng and the Iron Eagle Lord, returning with the Shadow Clan members.

On the way, Yang Chen rode on Iron Eagle Lord’s back, keeping a certain distance from the Shadow Clan members but not too far. From time to time, he looked at Hong Yue, pondering how to deal with her situation.

After all, Hong Yue was his slave. To be honest, he didn’t want to take her back to the Human Clan territory. He was naturally worried about unnecessary troubles. He hated trouble the most.

But if he didn’t take her with him, he was afraid of other unnecessary problems. Hong Yue knew a lot of things and although she had sworn not to speak, who could be sure that the Shadow Clan members wouldn’t detect something and try to search her soul?

“Little guy, don’t worry about it. If I were you, I’d take Hong Yue with me. Those who accomplish great things cannot allow any potential threats to themselves. Being kind is fine, but don’t be blind in your kindness!” The Lingxi Daoist’s voice suddenly resounded in Yang Chen’s mind.

Yang Chen was startled and then asked nervously, “Senior, how did you know what I was thinking?”

The Lingxi Daoist laughed loudly, “How do I know? Once you’ve cultivated the Lingxi Divine Pupil, you’ll gradually understand.”

Yang Chen couldn’t help but be amazed. Did the Lingxi Divine Pupil have the astonishing effect of seeing through other people’s thoughts?

But the first three levels didn’t have this ability. Could it be… the Fourth Level!

As Yang Chen pondered, suddenly, Hong Yue flew towards him.

“Miss Hong Yue!” Yang Chen could vaguely distinguish Hong Yue’s figure amid the shadows.

Frankly, with the Shadow Clan members wrapped in shadows, they almost looked the same. The reason Yang Chen could recognize Hong Yue was because of the Servitude Restriction.

Hong Yue’s arrival seemed to draw the attention of many Shadow Clan members. However, she ignored them and said softly, “Yang Chen, our Shadow Clan’s shadows are our clothes. It’s just that to outsiders, these clothes appear as a mass of black shadows. It’s only when we look at each other that we can see the clothes that the other person is wearing. With this item, you’ll be able to see each other as if you were viewing each other within our clan, without any hindrance.”

“Oh?” Yang Chen was curious, watching as Hong Yue took out a small green twig from her hand.

The twig didn’t seem unusual, but once Yang Chen held it and looked at Hong Yue, everything changed immediately.
