"You actually want to seal it away? Why?"
The Deputy General was stunned when he heard Yang Qing's plan.
He had heard of people who became so ecstatic upon seeing the Nine-Section Whip that they ultimately went mad, and of people who devised every conceivable scheme to seize it.
But this was the first time he had heard of someone who, after obtaining the Nine-Section Whip, thought neither of claiming supremacy over the world nor of standing above all other heroes, but instead wanted to conceal its existence and voluntarily seal it away.
"Though the Nine-Section Whip has boundless power and is incomparably exalted, if I don't yet have the strength to keep others from taking it, the only safe course is to keep anyone from knowing it's now in my hands."
Yang Qing did not know how strong they currently were.
Still less did he know Emperor Zhetian's current strength.
When nothing was clear, the best response was to conceal his capabilities.
The Deputy General shook his head slightly.
Though the Nine-Section Whip would certainly bring its owner endless trouble, none of its previous owners had ever been like Yang Qing, with no fighting spirit whatsoever, intent only on avoiding danger.
At that thought, a hint of contempt entered the Deputy General's gaze as he looked at Yang Qing.
Had he known this would happen, he should never have handed that box to Yang Qing.
What a waste of a divine artifact like the Nine-Section Whip.
Though Yang Qing did not know what the Deputy General was thinking, he could guess from his expression that it was nothing flattering.
"A person cannot spend his entire life competing to prove himself stronger, confronting everything with force. In the end, he will inevitably be wounded by that same force."
