Encountering Such a Being Was Beyond Human Power to Change

Upon hearing this, Liu Duanyuan nodded slightly:

"The Grasp of Return to the Void is one of the core martial arts techniques of our Liu Clan. Since we are meeting for the first time, I will entrust this technique to you for your study."

After listening, Lu Changzhi smiled:

"No matter how valuable something is, it still needs to be understandable. It only has value if it can be understood, right?"

"But you obviously understand it," Liu Duanyuan said.

Lu Changzhi nodded:

"That's right, but isn't there another possibility?"

"What?" Liu Duanyuan slowed his movements slightly.

Lu Changzhi smiled slightly:

"You don't really think I learned this martial art because of what you got, do you?"

Liu Duanyuan suddenly turned his head:

"What do you mean?"

Lu Changzhi didn't speak, but simply raised his hand and gently squeezed it.

Brush.

A section of the clothing on Liu Duanyuan's arm vanished out of thin air.

It's just the right size, perfectly round, neither too big nor too small.

Liu Duanyuan suddenly stopped, his pupils contracted, and he stared intently at Lu Changzhi.

This move was truly beyond his expectations.

He had assumed that Lu Changzhi's words were an attempt to demonstrate a higher level of the Grasp of Return to the Void.

However, he then realized that things were not so simple.

Judging from his own perception, the skill level he just witnessed was worlds apart from what he had previously understood.

Even now, he was starting to doubt his own feelings.

The skill that Lu Changzhi displayed was unmatched by anyone else in the clan.

It should be noted that the few people in the clan who know this martial art have been studying it for quite some time, and there is more than one of them.

The other party was merely a junior.

"How could a person have fallen to this state? Or is it that..."

A sudden thought flashed through Liu Duanyuan's mind, and he felt as if a thunderbolt had struck him:

"Was the so-called rebirth of the candidate for Human Emperor at the Emperor's Tomb not just a rumor, but simply inaccurate?"

Upon realizing this, Liu Duanyuan felt a sudden sense of clarity.

Yes.

How could a junior like him scheme against the Liu Clan so ruthlessly, and also cultivate martial arts to such a high level at such a young age?

But if a so-called reborn person is not as old as they appear, then it's all too easy to explain.

Who knows how many years he has lived, how many evil methods he possesses, or what kind of intrigue he has experienced?

This explains why the once-powerful Liu Clan now appears so passive in their presence.

It wasn't that they were plotting against Lu Changzhi; rather, the other side had been plotting against their Liu Clan from the very beginning.

The rebirth of a candidate for Human Emperor was initially thought to be a rumor spread by someone with ulterior motives.

Now it seems that Lu Changzhi used the name of the Liu Clan's imperial son to make Liu Tianming take the blame!

"No wonder, no wonder!"

At this moment, Liu Duanyuan felt completely relieved.

Why dwell on our current situation?

Such a being is beyond human control to change.

As Liu Duanyuan thought to himself...

On the other side, Liu Tianming had already been sent to Black Tortoise.

A man and a beast, their six eyes locked.

In the end, it was Xiao Wu who spoke first:

"My brother asked me to help you with this story. Tell me, how do I make it up?"

Before Liu Tianming could speak, Xiao Xuan added:

"I can cooperate, but you have to provide meals, and I have to be well-fed."

Upon hearing this, the elders of the Liu Clan felt a strange sense of unease.

"How long has this Black Tortoise been born? It can already communicate in human language?"

"One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black. You're so young and already trying to negotiate. Your stomach is your own; how can you know when you're full?"

They thought about it, but no one expressed it.

They could tell that the Black Tortoise before them was indeed extraordinary.

Although they didn't know much about the Black Tortoise Clan, by comparing the two, the Black Tortoise Race expert from before, while powerful and with a strong aura, didn't seem as extraordinary as the Little Black Tortoise before them.

At this time, outside the Liu Clan.

Perhaps sensing something, the Black Tortoise Race expert from before returned to the Liu Clan's territory.

The powerful members of the Liu Clan exchanged glances and decided to temporarily shut down the defensive formation.

Almost instantly, the Black Tortoise Race expert arrived before Little Black Tortoise.

Two figures, one large and one small, the Black Tortoise, stared at each other.

The next moment, the elders of the Liu Clan saw excitement in this powerful Black Tortoise Race member.

What even more unbelievable to them was that this powerful Black Tortoise Race member was trembling slightly.

A slight tremor!

What kind of excitement, and how important is this Little Black Tortoise, that would move such a powerful Beast Race to this extent?

They didn't have a clear feeling, nor did they have a suitable analogy.

But one thing they were certain of.

This is definitely not a good thing.

"No wonder that kid was willing to hand over the Black Tortoise." An elder of the Liu Clan sighed inwardly.

"This is deliberately staged for us; the acting is secondary. The real purpose is to give them a warning."

"If the Black Tortoise Race experts are like this, wouldn't this kid be even more reckless in his actions and demands in the future?" A Liu Clan expert was filled with worry.

Perhaps I shouldn't have agreed to that kid's offer?

While the elders of the Liu Clan were each lost in their own thoughts, the two Black Tortoise, one old and one young, began to communicate.

First came a thorough expression of concern, followed by detailed inquiries into the meaning of what had been said earlier.

Little Black Tortoise was fooled in every way.

Wu Kan clearly didn't intend to waste time on these matters, and after asking, he directly said:

"Let's go. This is Human Race territory, and it's not safe for you. Come back to your people with me and tell them this news."

"But what about them?" Xiao Wu asked.

"If they have truly done you a favor, my Black Tortoise Clan will naturally protect them," Wu Kan said.

Xiao Wu nodded:

"Does our tribe have the resources to stay here and protect them?"

"Of course." Wu Kan nodded.

Xiao Wu then said:

"Then I'll take him back with me."

After saying that, he gestured to Liu Tianming.

Wu Kan nodded again:

"That's certainly possible."

After saying that, he said somewhat impatiently:

"Can we go back to our clan now?"

Xiao Wu nodded.

Wu Kan then turned his gaze to the elders of the Liu Clan.

After explaining the situation in just a few words, Wu Kan then looked at Liu Tianming:

Would you be willing to come with me to the Black Tortoise Race?

Upon hearing this, the expression on the face of the Liu Clan elder changed slightly.

This doesn't sound like a good thing.

Liu Tianming clearly realized this as well, his expression fluctuating slightly. He then took a deep breath and tentatively asked:

"Senior, as Human Race, isn't it a bit... somewhat... for Tianming to go to the Black Tortoise Race?"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Wu interrupted:

"If he doesn't go, I won't go either."

Upon hearing this, Wu Kan hurriedly replied:

"It's alright, go ahead. If you have time, I can guide you in your cultivation."

Before Liu Tianming could say anything more, he heard Xiao Wu's telepathic message:

"Hey, you don't want him to know you're an imposter, do you?"
