Chapter 42: Forty-two, seizing the opportunity to live
"Hand over the Jade now!"
Seeing Yun Xiao not responding, the tall and thin old man seemed somewhat impatient. He reached out his hand directly towards Yun Xiao, apparently trying to find the blood-red Jade first before deciding how to deal with this young man surnamed Yun.
At this point, Yun Xiao’s mind actually calmed down. He suddenly became curious, raised his head, and stared into the old man’s eyes as he asked, "May I ask if you know the origin of the Blood Moon Jade?"
"Blood Moon Jade? Is that Jade called Blood Moon Jade?"
However, as soon as Yun Xiao’s words fell, the tall and thin old man revealed a look of utter confusion, which couldn’t help but disappoint him. It seemed from the old man’s reaction that he did not know the origin of the Blood Moon Jade.
According to Shang Li, this Blood Moon Jade was something left by Yun Xiao’s father. Before this, Yun Xiao had been extremely curious about his unknown father due to the incidents happening to himself.
Whether it was the Blood Moon Jade merging into his body to form a blood-red crescent mark, or the activation of a Fire Element Ancestor Vein, it made Yun Xiao understand that his father was probably not of ordinary origin.
Now, due to the Blood Moon Jade, a powerful figure like the tall and thin old man had been drawn in. Yun Xiao was certain that such strength was rare, perhaps even unique, across the entire Hidden Dragon Continent.
In that case, could it be that his father was not from the Hidden Dragon Continent, but from a higher plane? Yun Xiao had hoped to get some information from this tall and thin old man, but this bewildered response had left him quite disappointed.
"Enough, stop beating around the bush and wasting time. On this Hidden Dragon Continent, there is no one who can snatch you away from my hands!"
