Shock!
Everyone was speechless at this sight, and the solemn atmosphere turned strange. Even Dalun Ruozan had a different look in his eyes.
”Duwu Sili, how was it?”
Wang Chong drew back his gaze and grinned at Duwu Sili.
Duwu Sili deeply gazed at Wang Chong, and then he suddenly laughed.
”Boy, you truly are a lucky one. There's actually someone willing to exchange formation phenomena for your life!”
With his right hand, Duwu Sili tore apart the black cloth blindfolding Chen Bin. At the same time, his other hand unsealed Chen Bin's limbs and voice.
”Lord Marquis! No! You can't give the formation phenomena to him!”
The moment he opened his eyes, Chen Bin began to shout and yell, his voice both anxious and angry. The matter of formation phenomena was extremely important, and he had remained steadfast against endless pain and torture to prevent the secret from falling into Duwu Sili's hands.
But if Wang Chong gave the secret of formation phenomena to Duwu Sili, all his efforts would have been in vain.
”Duwu Sili, I'll never let you succeed!”
Seeing that the transaction was about to be completed, Chen Bin became resolved, his eyes flashing with determination as he fiercely bit down on his tongue. But before he could bite down and end it all, a steely palm firmly grasped his lower jaw.
”You want to commit suicide in front of me?!”
Duwu Sili coldly chortled as he spoke into Chen Bin's ear, and Chen Bin felt his heart sink like a stone.
Duwu Sili turned his head to Wang Chong. ”Wang Chong! You have guts! As long as you give me the true formation phenomena, I will return your subordinate. What do you think?”
”Okay!”
Wang Chong faintly smiled, his bearing not one bit inferior to the Celestial Wolf Great General Duwu Sili.
”I will give the first half of the secret to formation phenomena to you. Once you release my subordinate, I will give you the other half!”
Wang Chong immediately removed the previous sheet of paper and flicked it at Duwu Sili.
Duwu Sili stretched out his hand and took it. This time, however, Duwu Sili unfolded the paper and carefully read it over. After a while, Duwu Sili took the first sheet of paper from the Celestial Wolf Cavalry officer and began to carefully compare them.
During this process, everyone remained silent in anticipation of his answer.
Incredible! I had always believed that the secret to formation phenomena was lost! To think that I would find the highest secret of formations in a place like Talas!
Duwu Sili's mind was raging as he gripped the two papers.
As one of the three most powerful Great Generals of the Western Turkic Khaganate, Duwu Sili possessed an insight and breadth of experience that no normal person could compare to. Things like gold, jade, or beautiful women would find it very difficult to move his heart. Even the finest weapons would do little to stimulate his desires.
But these two sheets of paper that probably weren't worth more than two taels of silver made his heart thump madly in his chest.
Formation phenomena! Duwu Sili had sought out this secret for more than half his life, but now, he held the secret in his hands, and only the last part was missing.
With his experience and knowledge, he could tell at a glance that Wang Chong had given him the real thing.
In those words, he could sense the profundity of the Great Dao and the principles of the world. It was impossible for Wang Chong to have fabricated this in such a short amount of time. No! No one could fabricate such words! The level of understanding and theory in these words had clearly surpassed Duwu Sili's Celestial Wolf Illusory Formation and could make any formation on the continent appear dim and lightless in comparison.
Most importantly, all the words flowed smoothly together, each concept linking cleanly to the next with no flaw or error.
If techniques like this could be fabricated in a single night, Duwu Sili would still have to throw himself to the ground in admiration. Even if it was fake, he would still admit defeat. This would only mean that he, Duwu Sili, was too blind and that he had deserved to be deceived!
Or perhaps, three or four months ago, Wang Chong had predicted that he would come to Talas, knew that he would crave the secret of formation phenomena, and then used a great deal of time and painstaking effort to create this fake secret of formation phenomena to deal with him.
But that was just a little too absurd!
”Boy, I can give you the hostage.”
