Yunqi Heavenly Venerate's eyes widened. He had no idea what Yang Chen wanted this item for. "Young Friend Yang Chen, while this thing isn't particularly valuable, it is still one of the few clues we have regarding the surprise attack on the rear back then. What do you need it for?"
Yang Chen knew that explaining this would inevitably be troublesome. After all, Yunqi Heavenly Venerate could not possibly hand him the scale without asking anything.
However, he had long prepared an excuse. "This junior wishes to accumulate more battle merits. As you know, ninety percent of my current battle merits are taken by Lord Yueyin. With only ten percent left, if I want to accumulate battle merits, I can only take the dangerous path. I have no other choice. Therefore, this junior wishes to take this scale and see whether I can find the mastermind behind the fall of the Primordial Fire Zone. If I can find and deal with them, the battle merits should certainly be no small amount."
Had Yang Chen said this some time ago, Yunqi Heavenly Venerate would definitely have thought he was courting death. A mere Great Ascension Stage cultivator going after the culprit who had nearly caused the Primordial Fire Zone to fall—if that was not courting death, what was?
But now, Yang Chen had repeatedly slain Transcendent Realm experts. Yunqi Heavenly Venerate truly had no way to deny his abilities. If Yang Chen wanted to do something mad, he had no other way to dissuade him.
"Yang Chen, you really do make people's jaws drop with the things you do." Yunqi Heavenly Venerate sighed with countless emotions. "Still, that is fine. Since you wish to investigate this matter, this old man will not stop you. However, this scale is no ordinary object.
