Chao Yiyan said, "I was just thinking of giving it a try." With that, he formed a hand seal. A jade pendant rose into the air out of nowhere, radiating a five-colored glow.
Chao Yiyan secretly activated his hand seals twice more, yet the jade pendant showed no reaction at all. Geng Dian was the first to lose patience. "Senior Brother Chao, what exactly is this? Why is it doing this?"
Chao Yiyan was equally at a loss. He switched through seven more hand seals in succession, but the jade pendant merely shone in midair, without the slightest further movement.
Sha Shouyi said, "What is this for? Blinding an enemy's eyes? Making them dizzy for a moment so we can take their life? We spent twelve days refining this thing?"
Chao Yiyan shook his head. "This treasure is truly strange. I have no idea what is going on." With a beckoning gesture, the jade pendant flew back into his palm. Within it was a lifelike little dragon, glittering with light.
After examining it for a while longer, Chao Yiyan said, "I still can't tell what use this thing has. Let's set up an ambush and kill Yan Chihuo instead. That way, we can give the Fourth Protector and the others an explanation."
Sha Shouyi said, "Right. That is exactly what we should do. Still, the Fourth Protector and the others are truly capable—they actually managed to turn Steward Xun against them."
Geng Dian said, "That is nothing strange. People strive to climb higher. The True Spirit Family is so powerful; naturally, Steward Xun hopes that one day he can ascend. Even if he cannot ascend, living several thousand more years would still be a fine thing. At Qilin Manor, who could help him? Even the Manor Lord cannot manage it
