Chapter 2204 - 1190: _2

At the same time, Yang Xiao briefly recounted to Sheng Yanlin what happened in the Nightmare World, focusing on the abilities displayed by that burnt ghost after it trapped him.

To be honest, this thing’s illusion is quite deceptive. If it weren’t for someone as cunning as myself encountering it, it would be easy for someone else to be tricked out the door by it.

After inspecting the scissors for a moment and listening to Yang Xiao’s introduction, Sheng Yanlin had a preliminary judgment:

"This thing should be decent. I reckon its abilities are related to illusions, allowing the user to disguise themselves as someone close to the trapped person, thus lowering the other’s guard."

Upon hearing Sheng Yanlin’s analysis, Yang Xiao felt somewhat disappointed, as he already possessed a similar ability with that Startled Ghost Mask.

Sheng Yanlin took the Startled Ghost Mask from Yang Xiao and seemed to admire it quite a bit.

He suggested keeping the scissors, stating that it wasn’t bad by itself, although compared to what Yang Xiao had, it was a bit inferior. It could be kept for now and later exchanged for something needed.

"Zhou Wenqing, you’re a useless thing! Useless alive, and still useless dead! Worthless fool!" Seeing he had no use for them, Yang Xiao stomped his feet and cursed angrily, wishing he could sell the scissors immediately.

Then Yang Xiao took out a token, which was given to him by the Ku Daoist after the latter was influenced, known as the Five Thunder Token.

This item originally belonged to the Taoist Sect’s rebel, Xuan Sha. After Xuan Sha was shot by Wu Qingcang three times, it became ownerless.

"This is a good thing, a treasure of the Taoist Sect. You’re really fleecing them hard. Aren’t you afraid they’ll cause trouble for you?" Holding the token, Sheng Yanlin examined it with great fondness.

As usual, Yang Xiao went through great lengths to explain the whole story, frankly stating that these were deserved by his usual good deeds, and this treasure was rightfully his.

"The more people lack something, the more they boast about it." Sheng Yanlin mumbled a bit, setting the token down, his eyes glinting: "This time you’ve truly stumbled upon a treasure. While others using it may not find much effect, it’s a perfect match for you."

"Not only is this beneficial for corpse refining and control, but it’s also a divine artifact for sneak attacks, which is what you’re best at."

Seeing Yang Xiao getting anxious, Sheng Yanlin quickly calmed him, advising him not to rush and to listen to him finish: "Using this alone is average; you can have the Esoteric Sect help reforge the magic artifact, merging this token with your ring-headed saber."

"Can that work?" Yang Xiao was astonished.

Sheng Yanlin didn’t directly answer the question but instead smiled slightly and whispered mysteriously: "Imagine using the saber during a duel, and suddenly from behind you cast a Yin Thunder, how do you like it?"

"I want this!" Yang Xiao answered without hesitation.

Back then, he had witnessed Xuan Sha in action. The Yin Thunder was truly bizarre, not even used during his siege with Ku Daoist, One-eyed Monk, and Chen Nang.

The reason it was ineffective against Wu Qingcang wasn’t due to its lack of power but due to the huge disparity in their strengths.

Now Yang Xiao was beginning to anticipate the effects of the reforged two magic artifacts.

Just as Sheng Yanlin thought the treasure appraisal was over, Yang Xiao once again manipulated the samurai puppet, and a heavy box was carried out from the Mirror World by the puppet, and with a "bang", it was placed on the ground.

Sheng Yanlin’s eyes widened a bit. He recognized the seal on the box as one put there by the Patrol General Bureau.

"Is this... for me?" Sheng Yanlin stared at the box curiously.

"What are you thinking? This is mine; um... please help have a look." Inside was the radio Yang Xiao brought back from Japan.

"This Resentful Eye is severely damaged and on the verge of losing control, be very careful." Yang Xiao cautioned promptly.

Seeing Sheng Yanlin making no preparatory work and squatting down to open the box, Yang Xiao reminded again: "Elder Sheng, this item is on the verge of losing control. The experts from the General Bureau warned me not to open it recklessly; it is only safe in the box."

"Don’t worry, with me here." Sheng Yanlin opened the box, revealing the severely damaged radio inside.

"Good stuff!" Sheng Yanlin’s eyes lit up, "Where did you get this from?"

Yang Xiao recounted every detail of his mission at Youjian Mountain Station, as well as the Silent Warrior plan narrated by the Jiu Mountain Cangxuan Clan Leader.

By now, Yang Xiao and Sheng Yanlin’s fates were tightly bound together, with no secrets worth keeping from him.

Listening to Yang Xiao describe the hellish scene beneath Youjian Mountain, Sheng Yanlin, despite being shocked, roughly comprehended the magic artifact’s abilities, which delighted him greatly.

"Yang Xiao, you’re truly blessed. Whatever you need just comes to you. This is a spell-type magical artifact, precisely what you need!" Sheng Yanlin held nothing back from Yang Xiao.

"It’s good stuff, though the damage is quite severe, but it’s all right. The Esoteric Sect’s means of reforging magic artifacts are among the best in the world." Sheng Yanlin scrutinized the radio closely, his eyes increasingly filled with delight.

"This thing has a fantastic explanation. Based on what I’ve seen, plus your descriptions, I can confirm this is a very high-rank spell-type magical artifact, with abilities related to control."

"It’s not about controlling puppets, but controlling living Angel Envoys, and the number of them is quite substantial. Once successful, you’ll have a large group of absolutely loyal Silent Warriors."
