Chapter 919

Logically speaking, only members of their Zhao Family can inherit it.

Then suddenly, starting from a certain generation, it stopped working.

It was utterly absurd.

Even now, it still doesn't work.

The Zhao Family people are going crazy.

But they could never find the reason.

Of course, the specific reason—

Xu Chen knows it; it's a heaven-shattering secret.

It's because when the Zhao Family reached a certain generation—

That heir had an accident.

That fellow swapped out his own blood.

Because he suspected the Zhao Family's bloodline was failing.

So he sought out the Demonic Path's martial arts.

And replaced his blood with it.

Later he successfully fell into demonic cultivation, but the Zhao Family never knew.

Although he could still successfully cultivate the Zhao Family's martial arts and Cultivation Methods,

the Zhao Family Jade Pendant could no longer be inherited.

Which led to the current situation.

After that, all subsequent heirs of the Zhao Family were unable to inherit the Jade Pendant.

Then why can Ye Xuan do it?

Because a trace of the Zhao Family's Bloodline flows within Ye Xuan's body.

That's right, this is the protagonist.

Able to ride the connections of both the Ye Family and the Zhao Family at once.

Back then, the younger sister of that demonic Zhao Family Head—

discovered her elder brother's secret, and decisively fled.

In the end, she married a certain person from the Ye Family who had likewise defected.

And gave birth to Ye Xuan's ancestor.

The relationship is exactly this.

That's why only Ye Xuan can inherit the Heavenly Secret Jade Pendant.

As for Zhao Jin now, he cannot inherit it.

After all, the Bloodline ability of the Zhao Family's ancestor is gone.

Back then, only the demonic Zhao Family Head and his younger sister possessed it.

Just those two people; everyone else couldn't.

Because the Zhao Family ancestor's Bloodline branched out widely,

but the Bloodline capable of inheriting the Heavenly Secret Jade Pendant belonged only to those two.

This kind of ability is passed down generation by generation.

Once missed, it's truly missed forever.

To be precise—

Ye Xuan is now the true heir of the Zhao Family.

Of course, neither the Heavenly Secret Pavilion nor the Zhao Family would acknowledge it.

If they were to find out—

they would surely strip Ye Xuan of his blood.

That is precisely the purpose behind their having everyone undergo the assessment.

Because they, too, knew back then that a Family Head's younger sister had escaped.

What they're doing now is searching for that younger sister's descendants.

"Now, just stand where you are.

Let the radiance of the Heavenly Secret Jade Pendant envelop you.

When the time comes, if the Heavenly Secret Jade Pendant acknowledges a master,

it will linger upon you; if it does not acknowledge a master,

then you may leave—the Heavenly Secret Pavilion will absolutely not forcibly detain you."

At this moment, Zhao Jin said lightly.

The crowd, hearing this, felt relieved.

This method was acceptable.

Very simple.

Even if some sudden accident occurred,

they could guard against it.

Crushing the Space Jade Pendant to escape—

that was the best choice.

"... Buzz!"

The instant Zhao Jin finished speaking.

The Heavenly Secret Jade Pendant within the orb of light began to tremble.

Zhao Jin frowned at the sight.

It had never trembled like this before.

On ordinary days, it was never like this.

Could it be that the person the Heavenly Secret Jade Pendant was seeking was truly here?

Having thought this, Zhao Jin gave a cold snort.

If it's here, then don't leave today.

The Zhao Family's Bloodline is not something just anyone can snatch away.

"Go!"

The next moment, Zhao Jin released the Heavenly Secret Jade Pendant.

Letting it pierce out of the orb of light.

It shot straight toward the tens of thousands of people below.

Xu Chen's expression was leisurely.

Heh, very soon the jade pendant will reach Ye Xuan's head.

And then automatically acknowledge Ye Xuan as its master.

When that time comes, Ye Xuan will be dumbfounded.

And Zhao Jin will be jealous, then begin to show a savage look on his face.

Saying things like "so it's you, you traitor of the Zhao Family."

Things like, "wearing out iron shoes in fruitless search, only to find it without any effort at all."

Immediately after, Zhao Jin ordered the Black-Clad Sword Attendants to attack.

Directly surrounding Ye Xuan and launching an assault.

Then the crowd would be caught in the crossfire.

But basically everyone could escape.

The crowd would think that Ye Xuan was a traitor of the Zhao Family.

Then the Zhao Family wouldn't have too much public opinion to deal with.

Of course, people with normal minds certainly wouldn't think so.

The Zhao Family's purpose was already a case of "hiding silver three hundred taels here" — too obvious.

Xu Chen, all cheerful.

Raised his head to look at the Heavenly Secret Jade Pendant.

He discovered that, sure enough, it was swooping toward Ye Xuan.
