As Xiao Shan Lord spoke, he extended a hand. Two small jade slips appeared in his palm, and he tossed one to Zi Luan and the other to Xiu Yu.
Zi Luan instinctively caught the jade slip. Since Xiu Yu was kneeling, his slip landed on the ground in front of him. Just then, Xiao Shan Lord continued speaking.
"The jade slips record the Secret Technique passed down by Huishan True Monarch. They come with a built-in Sealing Array. If my ascension succeeds, I will remove the seal for you myself. If I fail, the seal will break on its own when my Primordial Spirit dissipates. However, if your own Primordial Spirits are afflicted by my curse, you won't be able to read the contents."
Upon hearing this, both men were about to declare their loyalty, but Xiao Shan Lord spoke first. "Don't waste time on pointless words. This matter is of the utmost importance. In principle, I trust you, but you don't seem to trust me. Especially you... Changqing."
