Book 11. Chapter 21. 100-Thunder Paralyzing Talisman (translated by Saima)
Hua Yan is not a simple brute, or else Sovereign Yu would not have sent him on such an important mission.
Looking at Zong Jue’s arrogance and facial expression, Hua Yan suddenly thinks:
“Can it be that Zong Jue still has a secret treasure he keeps hidden?”
Hua Yan starts to quicken his thoughts.
“In terms of personal power, there are not a lot of differences between Zong Jue and I. I can only count on my top grade Immortal weapon, top grade armor, elixirs, and talismans. If Zong Jue truly possesses a powerful treasure, I am not certain that I will be victorious.”
Now, Hua Yan has come to a halt.
If he wants to solidify his position, then he must win.
But if he tries to make an example out of Zong Jue and gets beaten instead, he will immediately lose face and all his reputation.
“There is always a reason for arrogance, especially from someone in a high position. He has already seen some of my power but can still keep being arrogant. Without a treasure, he wouldn’t dare.”
