Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now!-Chapter 1030 - 305: Cunning and Ruthless

The Wooden Mask Man ignored Yun Zhao, and with his intelligence, he could naturally see who was really in charge between the two.

The Wooden Mask Man only stared at Chen Yan.

Chen Yan sneered: "Yun Zhao, don’t listen to his nonsense, Old Liang is so formidable, how could he be captured by him? He’s just making unfounded claims."

The Wooden Mask Man snorted, surprisingly not refuting, merely saying blandly: "Very well, then let Old Liang die with me."

At this, Chen Yan frowned—this guy, even facing death, wouldn’t be provoked.

Yun Zhao’s temperament was anxious, and he couldn’t help shouting: "Brother! We can’t abandon Old Liang’s life!"

Speaking, he hastily emerged from the cloth, swiftly landing and turning into human form, just about to advance when Chen Yan grabbed his wrist and pulled him aside.

"With such a character, your family must have a big heart to let you venture out! If Old Liang wasn’t accompanying you, you’d be dead countless times on your journeys."

Chen Yan sighed and glared at Yun Zhao, saying sternly: "Don’t go over! Those two just now, so full of tricks, luring their opponents to death, are cunning and ruthless; going over is suicide."

Yun Zhao urgently replied: "But..."

He had just spoken two words when Chen Yan gave him a fierce look, instantly silencing him.

Chen Yan sighed, suddenly walking over and chopping Yun Zhao’s body with his palm, causing Yun Zhao to stagger, while Chen Yan swiftly pasted a talisman paper on him, rendering him immobile, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Chen Yan casually stuffed his mouth, then turned around, coldly smiling at the Wooden Mask Man.

The Wooden Mask Man, breath faint, gently said: "If you’re afraid I’ll play tricks, I can swear by the Heavenly Dao right now; as long as you save my life, I absolutely won’t harm you one bit, I’ll let you leave without adding harm or any obstruction."

Seeing Chen Yan remain silent, the Wooden Mask Man continued softly: "I can also gift you a Magical Treasure..."

Chen Yan said nothing.

The Wooden Mask Man sighed: "I’ll add a Cultivation Technique."

Chen Yan laughed, but shook his head: "I don’t trust you. Besides, Old Liang isn’t mine, using his life and death as leverage to threaten me doesn’t work."

The Wooden Mask Man frowned: "With Yun Family’s young master by your side, aren’t you afraid of the Yun Family..."

Chen Yan’s face was cold: "So what? Nothing is more important than one’s own life! If necessary, I’ll kill him too! Then no one will know what happened here!"

The Wooden Mask Man froze!

His face twisted, seemingly out of control due to poison, but his cultivation was remarkable, managing a few breaths before looking at Chen Yan with a touch of admiration in his gaze.

His tone remained icy: "So... what do you want?"

"What Cultivation Technique or Magical Treasure... once you’re dead, this Glazed Purple Treasure Vine is mine; gaining such heavenly and earthly treasure is already a huge gain, why covet more?" Chen Yan sneered.

The Wooden Mask Man seemed to ponder silently for a moment: "I can offer you a path to the heavens. A cultivation technique that provides a forty percent chance to cross tribulation and become a Realm-Breaking Celestial!"

He looked at Chen Yan: "I know you have Third Realm Cultivation, but breaking through to the Celestial Human Realm at that level is exceedingly difficult! Even elite families and sects offer nothing better than a forty percent chance."

Seeing Chen Yan still silent, the Wooden Mask Man shivered in his voice and continued: "The Magical Treasure I offer can withstand the Celestial Tribulation, increasing your success in crossing tribulation and becoming a Realm-Breaking Celestial by two more percent."

Sixty percent chance to become a Realm-Breaking Celestial and glimpse the Heavenly Dao, don’t you want that?"

Chen Yan laughed inwardly but remained composed on the surface.

To say it’s tempting, such bargaining chips are indeed enticing.

Cultivation isn’t simply a matter of natural progression leading to a breakthrough.

From the First to Third Realm, as long as cultivation resources and techniques keep pace, it flows naturally. But from the Third Realm to the Celestial Human Realm, tribulation crossing isn’t just talk.

If tribulation crossing weren’t difficult, it wouldn’t be called tribulation crossing.

Even in the Domain Realm, highly cultivated Third Realm cultivators rarely attempt the Celestial Tribulation; out of countless Third Realm cultivators, maybe one becomes a Realm-Breaking Celestial, and that’s considered good.

Having a path to the heavens, offering sixty percent success rate at the Celestial Human Realm... such a resource is enviable even by second and third-tier sects and families, reserved for the core direct descendants of top-tier elites.

Not to mention the countless Loose Cultivators, fighting for it with their lives.

Yet...

Such temptation was utterly unattractive to Chen Yan.

He possessed cultivation techniques left by the old lady, and tribulation crossing the Celestial Human Realm was already quite likely for him.

Seeing Chen Yan still sneer in silence, the Wooden Mask Man finally sighed: "Just tell me, what do you want to save my life?"

"How do you know I’ll save you? I’ve said, I’ll wait for you to die, then acquire a precious heavenly and earthly treasure; isn’t that good?"

The Wooden Mask Man snorted: "If you truly wanted me dead, you wouldn’t sit there motionless but strike me down and end my life directly." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Chen Yan remained silent for a while before slowly saying: "Did you know, now that your cultivation disperses and your cultivation techniques fail, the spell concealing your true voice used for deception is also scattering..."

The Wooden Mask Man’s eyes changed: "You..."

"I’ve recognized your voice." Chen Yan sighed.

Seeing the Wooden Mask Man remain silent, Chen Yan tugged at his lips: "In the auction house at the City of No Return, I’ve heard your voice.

You... Your surname is Gu, the third son of the Gu Family, Gu Tongbing!"

At these words, the Wooden Mask Man trembled on the ground!
