Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 502 - 466: Search

"We have never seen such a thing!"

The people of Tuling Village fell silent until Su Wu spoke out, breaking the deadlock.

"Never seen it?" Xu Nian glared at Su Wu with a threatening look, as if trying to detect any clue from Su Wu’s face.

However, Su Wu’s expression barely changed.

"Hehe... Half a month ago, someone from our Lion Eagle Sect saw a White Tiger phantom manifesting over your village. According to the ancient records, that is the sign of the White Tiger Green Jade’s manifestation. Do you still intend to conceal it?"

Xu Nian scanned the crowd with cold eyes and continued, "If you don’t hand over the object, are you barbarians prepared to pay the price in blood?"

As Xu Nian’s words fell, the disciples of the Lion Eagle Sect behind him all showed murderous intent, their spiritual power surging around them.

"Wait..." Su Wu spoke up, quickly saying, "Esteemed sir, we truly have not seen any White Tiger Green Jade. If you don’t believe us, you may send people to search. Whatever esteemed sirs find in our Tuling Village, you may take away directly. Please do not harm the innocent!"

After Su Wu had spoken, someone nearby also hurriedly clasped their hands and said, "Esteemed sirs, you are all from a Great Sect and surely would not kill the innocent arbitrarily, and you may search at will. Our village truly does not have this so-called White Tiger Green Jade... Esteemed sirs, if we had it, we would definitely hand it over to you!"

"Yes, esteemed sirs, even with a hundred times the courage, we would not dare to defy you!"

In the short span of ten to twenty days, the villagers of Tuling had indeed undergone great changes.

They were originally living in a secluded village with little contact with the outside world.

In normal circumstances, upon encountering people like Hong Yuan or Xu Nian, they would be very flustered.

But during this time, they had awakened their own powerful bloodlines, which gave them confidence.

Secondly, training in martial arts had brought them confidence.

It also led to the enlightenment of their minds...

Thus, facing these intruders into their village, they were not as flustered.

Faced with the responses from Su Wu and others, Hong Yuan and his group couldn’t help but frown.

Could it be that the White Tiger Green Jade really isn’t here.

"Search!"

Xu Nian then waved his hand, ordering the Lion Eagle Sect disciples, "Dig three feet into the ground, and leave no place unchecked."

Following that, he cast a cold glance at Su Wu and the others: "If I find the White Tiger Green Jade, all of you will die!!!"

The disciples of the Lion Eagle Sect quickly rushed into the village.

At this point, the faces of Su Wu and the others darkened.

The matter of the White Tiger Green Jade was known to all the people of Tuling Village.

With so many people, it was inevitable that it might be leaked.

If it were indeed leaked, the people of the Lion Eagle Sect might actually carry out a bloody massacre.

Especially since they knew the White Tiger Green Jade no longer existed...

...

Before long,

The disciples of the Lion Eagle Sect had practically turned Tuling Village upside down.

But they still did not find the White Tiger Green Jade...

However, they did round up all the villagers of Tuling and herded them to the entrance of the village.

They also threw a few children, around five or six years old, to the front.

"Have any of you seen this thing?"

Xu Nian took out the scroll depicting the White Tiger Green Jade and mockingly placed it in front of the children.

These few children, all around five or six years of age.

In Xu Nian’s view, children of this age were not as adept at deception as adults and were more likely to reveal something.

Su Wu and the others were also watching the children at this moment.

They were all worried that these children might divulge information about the White Tiger Green Jade.

However... unexpectedly, these children kept their lips sealed.

All of them claimed ignorance regarding the White Tiger Green Jade, and they did not mention anything about the awakening of the White Tiger bloodline in the villagers of Tuling either.

One of the little girls, trembling with fear, faced even worse threats from Xu Nian, but she still steadfastly denied knowing anything.

Hong Yuan’s brow furrowed slightly as he watched all this, sensing that something was amiss.

"No!"

"The spiritual energy fluctuations here are abnormal, and the density of the spiritual energy is thicker than in other places," Hong Yuan said in a low voice.

Xu Nian and the others quickly realized this too.

"There are no Spirit Gathering Formations here, nor any treasures that could draw in spiritual energy. This indicates... something must have happened here!" Xu Nian suddenly reached out a hand, lifting the little girl straight up.

Then, his Divine Sense Power spread out, pressing down on the little girl.

This little girl was merely an ordinary person, not even at the Tempering Body Realm.

And Xu Nian was a martial artist of the Golden Core Realm.

The oppressive force and horror released by a martial artist of the Golden Core Realm?

"Speak! What exactly has happened here in the last few days?"

"If you don’t tell me, I will kill your parents first, and then you!"

With a wave of Xu Nian’s hand, the disciples of the Lion Eagle Sect captured the little girl’s parents.

"I... I, waah!"

Just as the little girl opened her mouth to speak, she spat out blood and fainted.

The oppressive force from Xu Nian was too terrifying.

"Tu Tu!"

"Tu Tu!"

Seeing this, the little girl’s parents called out in alarm and worry.

However, Xu Nian let out a cold sneer, and slapped the little girl’s face.

The poor little girl, merely five or six years old, innocent and naive, was struck to the ground by Xu Nian’s slap.

Following that, he stepped forward, planting his foot on top of the little girl.

"You two, speak!" Xu Nian pointed at the little girl’s parents, "Did something special happen in Tuling Village? If you don’t talk, I will crush her right now!"

The little girl’s parents clenched their teeth, their complexions pale.

They were very clear that the matter of the White Tiger Green Jade was not ordinary. If revealed, the risk of their clan’s extermination was high.

But if they didn’t speak, their poor daughter would likely die at the hands of this demon the next moment.

The little girl’s parents both looked towards Su Wu at this time.

Su Wu’s expression was very ugly.

He knew the truth could no longer be kept hidden.

The people from the Crimson Blood Sect and the Lion Eagle Sect had no humanity to speak of!

Seeing Xu Nian about to exert more pressure on the foot that was on the little girl’s head, Su Wu shouted loudly, "Stop! I’ll talk!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian gave a cold smile. He kicked the little girl aside, then walked over to Su Wu and grabbed him by the collar, "How about it, you old thing? Now you are willing to talk?"

Su Wu sighed deeply and a helpless bitter smile appeared on his face.

Then, he could only relay the entire event in brief.

"So you are saying that the White Tiger Green Jade was indeed in your village before, but... now it’s gone?"

This time, Hong Yuan became furious and charged over.

He didn’t expect that he would indeed find the White Tiger Green Jade, but the outcome was... the White Tiger Green Jade no longer existed!

"You barbarians..."

Hong Yuan was extremely angry, but soon his eyes began to flicker, "That means... all of you people have awakened special bloodlines through the White Tiger Green Jade? No wonder... you barbarians know the ways of cultivation, and your Qi-Blood is so vigorous!"

Hong Yuan’s words also made Xu Nian and the others realize that the villagers of Tuling Village, despite their low Cultivation Realms, had Qi-Blood far exceeding what their realms would normally possess...

"The bloodlines of these people must be out of the ordinary," Xu Nian said, his eyes revealing a trace of coldness: "Lord Hong, I think... we should take all these barbarians back with us."

Hong Yuan smirked, an unspoken understanding in his heart.

Since the White Tiger Green Jade no longer existed, taking these barbarians back and refining all the Essence Blood within their bodies might just serve the purpose of the White Tiger Green Jade...
