Chapter 567 Uncovering
In response to inquiries from the elders and stewards of the White Tiger Temple, one of the White Tiger Venerables stroked his beard slightly and said:
"This cup is called the Heart-Knocking Cup. It originates from the long-vanished ancient city of Jingjue in the Western Desert. It was jointly crafted by several extremely powerful pharaohs. It contains the divine talent and abilities of a person with divine nature and the power of ancient secret arts of the Western Desert. It can both bewitch people's hearts and enlighten their minds. Its power is boundless!"
After explaining to the two, Venerable White Tiger casually waved his hand, and a martial arts barrier that covered the area below where thousands of people were imprisoned instantly enveloped the four directions of heaven and earth.
At the same time, another Venerable White Tiger, who was holding a brown stone cup, raised his hand and tossed it. The brown stone cup suddenly rose into the air and then hovered above everyone, emitting a grayish-brown light like soil.
As the light faded, the White Tiger Temple elder and the temple steward, who were standing in mid-air beside the two Venerables, were immediately confused and their thoughts became muddled and confused. For a moment, they did not know where they were.
Seeing this, the two White Tiger Venerables exchanged a glance, their faces showing satisfaction.
The Heart-Knocking Vessel entrusted by the White Tiger Temple Master is extremely extraordinary, and can be considered part of the White Tiger Temple's foundation. Even they would find it extremely difficult to resist this object.
Moreover, the Heart-Knocking Bowl will be damaged every time it is used, and it can only be used a few times in total. Therefore, the two White Tiger Venerables cherish it very much.
At this moment, the two White Tiger Venerables ignored the two White Tiger Temple elders who were affected by the Heart-Knocking Gu, and then turned their gazes down to look down at the thousands of people who were imprisoned below.
"It's almost time, let's begin."
One of the White Tiger Venerables spoke, while the other White Tiger Venerable nodded slightly. The next moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, shooting out two dazzling beams of divine light that fell onto the brown stone cup suspended in mid-air.
The Heart-Knocking Cauldron is crafted using divine power and ancient secret techniques, and cannot be controlled by martial arts true qi. However, it is clear that this Venerable One of the White Tiger Temple is a person who cultivates both divine and martial arts, and can completely control the Heart-Knocking Cauldron with divine power.
After absorbing the divine light, the Heart-Knocking Cup flipped upside down and hung in the sky, using its invisible secret power to lure thousands of people below.
Suddenly, all the people below looked up, their eyes fixed blankly on the Heart-Knocking Cup in mid-air, as if their entire minds were drawn to it.
The White Tiger Venerable, who controlled the Heart-Pounding Cauldron, glanced around and then spoke in a deep voice:
"Anyone who does not make false or unfounded statements when questioned may withdraw their gaze."
As soon as the White Tiger Venerable spoke, his voice pierced the air above, releasing a gray-brown glow from the Heart-Pounding Cup. The sound then spread out from the cup's opening, like a seductive melody reaching the ears of thousands below.
The next instant, nearly half of the crowd who had been looking at the Heart-Pounding Cup turned their gazes away and stopped looking up at the brown stone cup above.
Upon seeing this, the two White Tiger Venerables exchanged a glance, both raising an eyebrow. One of them spoke:
"If I hadn't used the Heart-Piercing Cup, I really wouldn't have known that there were so many treacherous people hiding inside."
Upon hearing this, the White Tiger Venerable, who controlled the Heart-Piercing Cauldron, didn't say much, but immediately spoke again:
"Those who are truly unaware of any news about the Master of Qingshan Tower should withdraw their attention."
With these words, Venerable White Tiger was clearly speeding up the process of filtering out the people they were looking for.
However, as the White Tiger Venerable finished speaking, most of the crowd that had been watching the Heart-Piercing Cauldron turned their gazes away.
However, nearly a hundred people remained staring at the Heart-Knocking Bowl without making any move.
"That's interesting."
One of the White Tiger Venerables narrowed his eyes slightly, then raised his hand downwards and grabbed two of the nearly one hundred people who looked up, pulling them directly to his side. "Tell me, where is the Green Mountain Pavilion Master now?"
The White Tiger Venerable, who controlled the Heart-Piercing Cauldron, spoke directly, and the next moment, one of them answered every question:
"I saw it with my own eyes. The master of Qingshan Tower has already fled from Baidi City to the Western Desert, while the White Tiger Temple and the Hidden Kill Pavilion are still in Baidi City, grabbing people everywhere like headless flies. It's utterly ridiculous!"
Upon hearing this, both White Tiger Venerables frowned and immediately continued to ask:
"Since you know the whereabouts of the Master of Green Mountain Pavilion, why do you conceal it and not tell the truth?"
Upon hearing this, the man's eyes remained vacant, but he still answered every question, saying:
"What a joke! Why should I tell the truth? I feel incredibly happy watching the people from the White Tiger Temple and the Hidden Kill Pavilion work for nothing."
One of the White Tiger Venerables resisted the urge to slap him away and instead questioned the other person who had been captured.
However, this person's answer was not much different from the previous one's, both stating that they had personally witnessed the Green Mountain Pavilion Master fleeing White Emperor City.
However, when Venerable White Tiger inquired about the specifics, the two gave ambiguous answers and could not provide any more detailed or useful information.
"No, there's something wrong with them."
One of the White Tiger Venerables pondered for a moment before speaking, then glanced at the group below who were still staring at the Heart-Pounding Cauldron, and suddenly said:
"Ask again, see if any of these people have done anything to these two?"
Upon hearing this, Venerable White Tiger, who controlled the Heart-Knocking Cup, nodded slightly, and then spoke again through the Heart-Knocking Cup.
This time, among the nearly one hundred people below who were staring at the Heart-Knocking Cauldron, the vast majority of them looked away, but one person still looked up at the Heart-Knocking Cauldron above and stood motionless.
In an instant, both White Tiger Venerables looked towards this person. The White Tiger Venerable who controlled the Heart-Pounding Cauldron narrowed his eyes slightly and said:
"It seems that he is the person we are looking for."
After saying that, he raised his hand and grabbed an old man standing in the crowd. The next moment, the old man was involuntarily lifted into the air and flew straight towards the two White Tiger Venerables.
However, just as the old man was about to approach the two White Tiger Venerables, ancient lines suddenly appeared on his entire face.
As if sensing the impending crisis, the old man's entire body trembled violently. Then, a powerful force was released from the ancient patterns, which actually helped the old man break free from the White Tiger Venerable's restraints.
The next moment, the old man, who had been listless and dazed, opened his eyes.
Upon seeing the two White Tiger Venerables before him, the old man reacted swiftly and immediately retreated without hesitation.
"It must be a big fish to have managed to break free from the power of the Heart-Piercing Vessel."
One of the White Tiger Venerables spoke, raising his arm and slightly extending his hand towards the direction the old man had fled. Instantly, an invisible palm force encompassed the surrounding world, saying:
"You can't escape."
At this moment, the old man had already reached the edge of the martial arts true energy barrier, but before he could break through it, he was captured by the White Tiger Venerable. (End of Chapter)
