Obtaining Top Art on Family's Extermination Night

Chapter 480: Chapter 220: That Day

Shi Wuya was the first to break. His body began to tremble uncontrollably as blood trickled from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.

Fang Shuwen had been observing them the whole time, and he caught the change the instant it happened.

He instantly appeared before Shi Wuya. After releasing him from "A Line," he placed a single palm on his back.

Using the Mental Method of the Healing Chapter combined with the Muscle Strengthening Scripture Divine Technique, it only took a moment to pull him back from the brink of death.

Just then, the Masked Man also reached his limit.

After Fang Shuwen used the same method to stabilize his injuries, he unsealed Shi Wuya’s Mute Acupoint and said with a smile:

"Poetry Tower Master, did you feel like you were about to die?

"Don’t worry, I won’t kill you until you’ve told me the Touching the Subtle and Knowing Destiny Techniques... Worst case, we can just drag this out indefinitely.

"To be honest, this technique of mine is still far from perfected. It’s a rare opportunity to have an expert like the Poetry Tower Master here to help me test its different variations. For me, this is a precious chance."

Shi Wuya’s face was deathly pale.

"Don’t... I’ll talk. I’ll tell you!"

Fang Shuwen was a little disappointed, but he nodded nonetheless.

"Then speak."

Ink, brush, and paper were already prepared. Shi Wuya began to recite the Mental Methods for the Touching the Subtle Technique and the Knowing Destiny Technique.

Miao Feichan was nearby, writing it all down.

Once he finished, Fang Shuwen mentally reviewed the five techniques, then struck Shi Wuya’s acupoints and tossed him aside.

At this point, Shi Wuya was actually useless to him.

However, Fang Shuwen planned to wait four hours. When Shi Wuya was sound asleep, he would wake him up and make him recite it all again.

Then, he would compare the two versions to see if there were any differences.

That was why he hadn’t killed him yet.

Only then did Fang Shuwen turn his gaze to the Masked Man.

With a tap of his finger, he unsealed the man’s Mute Acupoint. Fang Shuwen didn’t speak, but simply watched him.

The Masked Man caught his breath and said:

"I am... Luo Wenzhou, the Rooster Guard, one of the Twelve Hour Guards of Dragon Abyss."

Fang Shuwen nodded, then asked:

"The destruction of the Lingyun Sect all those years ago... was that the handiwork of your Dragon Abyss?"

Hearing this question, Miao Feichan’s body tensed slightly, and she unconsciously focused her attention.

Luo Wenzhou nodded lightly.

"To be precise, it was the handiwork of us, the Twelve Hour Guards.

"The Lord of Time ordered it. The Lingyun Sect’s Lingyun Star-Stepping Strategy is one of the world’s supreme Martial Arts, and it had to be brought into the collection of Dragon Abyss.

"Years ago, one of the Twelve Hour Guards went to the Lingyun Sect in person and requested that the Sect Leader hand over the technique, but was unsuccessful...

"So we had no choice but to use overwhelming force to annihilate the entire sect.

"Unfortunately, our movements were discovered beforehand. The Lingyun Sect found out and hid the Lingyun Star-Stepping Strategy in a secret underground palace.

"The entrance requires the ’Seven Stars’ as its key, but the Lingyun Sect Leader had already secretly sent the Seven Stars away.

"We failed to intercept them. Without the Seven Stars, the Star Gate could not be opened... so we had no choice but to drop the matter.

"Not until we discovered that the Lingyun Sect had re-established itself in the Central Domain did we act again. We thought the Seven Stars would be in their hands, but once again, we came up empty..."

Hearing this, Miao Feichan’s fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

Luo Wenzhou glanced at Miao Feichan, then shook his head lightly.

"Miss Miao, there’s no need for that. Ultimately, the only reason you’re still alive all these years is because we, the Twelve Hour Guards, showed you mercy."

Miao Feichan’s heart tightened at his words.

"You’ve known about me this whole time?"

"Of course we have."

Luo Wenzhou glanced at Fang Shuwen, his pupils contracting slightly. There was still a lingering fear in his eyes, but his voice carried a hint of defiance.

"Others may not know your Martial Arts, but we, the Twelve Hour Guards, know them in great detail.

"The moment you started making a name for yourself in the Jianghu, we noticed.

"However, you were looking for the Seven Stars, and so were we. Our goals aligned, and that is the only reason we didn’t kill you.
