Chapter 1384: Transforming One

He silently mused: Indeed, this thing is of a righteous nature.

Villains would find it virtually useless.

And he was the villain, naturally exuding a villainous aura.

Under these circumstances, it naturally became even harder to handle.

But then again, it wasn't entirely without a solution.

At this moment, seeing Xu Chen being repelled,

Jiang Youruo and Jiang Qingyi both cried out in unison: "Are you alright?"

Xu Chen shook his head: "I'm fine, no big deal—though this Phantom Sound Shen Yu seems to dislike me."

Jiang Youruo thought to herself: This Jade Pendant is always like this—attacking randomly, never recognizing an owner. I've had it for a long time, and it still hasn't recognized me.

Jiang Qingyi also said: "A bad Jade Pendant? Better to leave it behind, right?"

Nearby, Luo Caiwei said: "That's true. No one in the Jiang Family has been able to control this thing for a long time. It's normal that Xu Chen can't control it."

Xu Chen rubbed his chin—he possessed many Imperial Dao techniques.

Actually, changing his own Spiritual Qi aura wasn't impossible.

If he did that, perhaps the Jade Pendant would recognize him as its master.

Of course, even if it did recognize him, he'd abandon it afterward.

The reason was simple: he couldn't disrupt the original storyline.

If he did, it would be disastrous.

The original storyline hadn't unfolded yet, so nothing major was at stake.

He could play with this Jade Pendant all he wanted.

As long as he returned it to its original place before the storyline arrived, it would be fine.

So he asked: "If I make it recognize me as its master, what happens then?"

Jiang Youruo stared in surprise:

"Either you serve the Jiang Family, or you join the Jiang Family—only these two options exist.

Otherwise, the Jiang Family won't let you take the Phantom Sound Shen Yu away. This is a rule everyone knows."

She was curious—didn't Xu Chen know this?

Xu Chen shook his head: "That's not what I meant."

Jiang Youruo grew even more curious: "Then what did you mean?"

Xu Chen said:

"I mean hypothetically—if I make it recognize me as its master, then later decide I don't want it anymore, how do I resolve it?

Will I be stuck with it forever? I wouldn't want that—it's got too much sentience."

Jiang Qingyi said: "Then just tell the Jade Pendant."

Xu Chen blinked in surprise: "If you tell it, the bond will break?"

Jiang Youruo nodded: "Yes. The Phantom Sound Shen Yu has extremely high sentience—it can sense your thoughts."

Xu Chen exclaimed: "So it's equivalent to possessing the Spirit Breath Imperial Dao?"

He knew this was something only the Spirit Breath Imperial Dao could accomplish.

Jiang Youruo said: "Pretty much. My own Spirit Breath Imperial Dao was actually inspired by this."

Jiang Qingyi said: "Mine too—the Qingxin Imperial Dao."

Xu Chen whistled—wow, really wow—so this was possible?

Then logically, Luo Caiwei's Spirit Breath Imperial Dao must have come from the same source?

5.5 Hmm, then let him shed his evil aura and try using a righteous aura instead.

Will the Phantom Sound Shen Yu still form a bond with him?

This arrogant little thing—let's see what happens.

With that, Xu Chen immediately used a certain Imperial Dao to transform his own aura.

In an instant, he glowed brilliantly, radiating righteous energy.
