Chapter 788 Identity
Chu Zhiyuan had been shining a light on the middle-aged man in gray robe in the cave.

Everything inside and outside of him, his blood flow, his vital energy, the changes in his breath and muscles, the muscles on his face and his eyes, were all under observation.

When he saw them, there was nothing unusual.

But as soon as he heard the three words “reading mind beads”, his muscles tensed up instantly, his heartbeat quickened, his blood flow accelerated, and his pupils dilated.

The whole person becomes completely different.

It was as if he had seen a monster and was eager to escape.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

Why is this middle-aged man in gray robe so afraid of the mind-reading beads? Is he afraid of leaking the secret?
Then why was he afraid of the secret being leaked? Was it because the Yuanzhen Dynasty controlled his weak spot, a weak spot that he would protect even at the cost of his life?
Is it family?
So what will he do?

Is there any way to commit suicide when the acupoints are blocked?
He thought of this and said, “We must prevent him from committing suicide.”

Li Miaotan looked solemnly at the middle-aged man in gray robe and glanced at Li Yuzhen.

Li Yuzhen nodded and stepped forward to seal the acupoints of the middle-aged man in gray robe again.

After sealing the acupuncture points, she carefully examined him, pressing her jade palm on his back to detect his true energy.

She was completely locked in the palm of her hand, unable to move, and only then did she loosen her jade palm.

Li Miaotan said, “Let’s hold him down first, to avoid any accidents.”

“Yes.” Li Yuzhen placed her jade palm on his back again.

The middle-aged man in gray robe’s heartbeat was speeding up, his blood flow was accelerating, and his pupils were getting bigger.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned: “He has already performed the secret technique to end his life, right?”

The gray-robed middle-aged man’s acupoints were sealed, but it did not interrupt the changing trends of his heartbeat, blood flow, and pupils at all.

If he continues like this, he will inevitably collapse and die.

Li Yuzhen frowned and said, “It’s indeed not right!… But the acupuncture points have been sealed.”

She could already sense something strange about the middle-aged man in gray robe from a close distance.

Previously, she thought that the middle-aged man in gray robe was nervous because he saw the masters from Fengtian Palace coming.

So my heartbeat quickened, but now it was getting faster and faster, with no sign of stopping.

Something is obviously wrong.

Li Miaotan turned his head and said, “Mr. Chang.”

Chang Xihua flashed closer, touched the chest of the middle-aged man in gray robe, and then pointed a few fingers at his chest.

Chu Zhiyuan discovered that with the entry of her strange finger power, the heartbeat of the middle-aged man in gray robe no longer accelerated.

Although it was still jumping extremely fast, it was already about three times faster than an ordinary person.

But with his strong body, he can still sustain such a fast heartbeat for a long time.

Chu Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, memorized the nine finger forces and nine acupoints, and replayed them twice in his mind.

Finally shook his head.

The ability to achieve this effect requires both acupuncture points and extraordinary finger force.

It is probably impossible to achieve this effect by simply pressing these nine acupoints.

The middle-aged man in gray robe’s pupils no longer dilated, and he stared at Chang Xihua in despair.

Chang Xihua snorted and said, “It’s not that easy to die!”

“Thank you, Mr. Chang!” said Li Yuzhen.

Chang Xihua said: “This is Zixiao Yuge’s Secret Return.”

Li Yuzhen was surprised: “The Zixiao Jade Pavilion of the Yuanzhen Dynasty?”

Chang Xihua nodded: “This skill is the secret of Zixiao Jade Pavilion. Outsiders don’t know it, but I happen to know it… Those who can inherit the secret of Zixiao Jade Pavilion are definitely not ordinary disciples. You have caught a big fish.”

“A disciple of Zixiao Jade Pavilion?” Li Yuzhen looked up and down at the middle-aged man in gray robes and asked doubtfully, “Isn’t that possible?”

Fan Yuxuan asked, “Mr. Chang, is that Zixiao Jade Pavilion, one of the four great sects of the Yuanzhen Dynasty?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“impossible?”

Fan Yuxuan looked at the middle-aged man in gray robe in surprise.

Although the Phoenix Dynasty was far superior to the Yuanzhen Dynasty, the four great sects of the Yuanzhen Dynasty had a transcendent status, comparable to the four great sects of the Phoenix Dynasty.

The strength is also similar.

Can the disciples of Zixiao Yuge be captured easily?
It’s almost impossible.

What’s more, the disciples of Zixiao Yuge would never do such a thing.

“I can’t be wrong about this.” Chang Xihua shook his head: “He should be a disciple of Zixiao Jade Pavilion… How did he fall into our hands?”

Li Miaotan coughed lightly and said, “Whether it is true or not, it will be clear when the mind-reading beads are used later.”

“Then let’s try it.” Chang Xihua said.

The three people in Fengtian Palace kept their eyes closed and motionless, as if they were in a trance.

The auras of their bodies flowed, connected to each other, and became one. An old man in a purple robe took out a crystal clear round bead from his arms, the size of a yellow apricot.

It was held in the right palm of the old man in purple robe and presented to the middle-aged man in gray robe.

The gray-robed middle-aged man’s expression changed again.

Chu Zhiyuan found that his heartbeat quickened again and his blood flow accelerated again.

The previous nine finger force blockades were actually broken.

Chu Zhiyuan said: “Mr. Chang, this is inappropriate.”

Chang Xihua pointed his fingers at the grey-robed middle-aged man’s chest again, and nine fingers of force fell into his body again, restricting the flow of his blood and qi.

But the heartbeat continued to increase, faster and faster, rushing towards collapse.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned and said, “It still doesn’t work.”

Chang Xihua’s face looked solemn.

Chu Zhiyuan said: “Mr. Chang, let me try.”

“Please.” Chang Xihua said hurriedly.

She didn’t expect things to become so difficult.

This is really not the secret of sneaking back.

It has gone beyond the scope of Qiangui Jue and is a more troublesome secret technique.

Chu Zhiyuan reached out and pressed a certain acupoint on the back of the middle-aged man in gray robe.

This is where blood and energy gather.

Then he pointed another finger at his shoulder, another at his left rib, and another at his right rib.

These places are where blood and energy gather, and the force of fingers can disperse them.

After these few touches, my heartbeat no longer accelerated, but instead slowly calmed down.

The middle-aged man in gray robe stared at Chu Zhiyuan in surprise.

Chu Zhiyuan asked: “Are you a disciple of Zixiao Jade Pavilion?”

He secretly sighed that it really worked. The essence of this secret technique was to stimulate the blood and gather the blood.

If the gathered blood and energy are dispersed in advance, the secret technique will also be broken.

Of course, the only person who can do this is someone who possesses supersensory perception.

A transparent bead was stuck between the eyebrows of the middle-aged man in gray robe.

The other two masters from Fengtian Palace put their palms on the back of the old man in purple robe.

The aura of the three people began to surge and merged into the transparent bead, turning the bead purple.

The purple beads cast purple shadows on the eyebrows of the middle-aged man in the grey robe, revealing every detail.

“He is not a disciple of Zixiao Jade Pavilion.” The purple-robed old man said slowly: “He is a disciple of Yunyang Peak.”

“Yunyang Peak…” Fan Yuxuan breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a moment and said, “I think I’ve heard of it.”

“It is also one of the most powerful sects in the Yuanzhen Dynasty.” Li Yuzhen said.

Fan Yuxuan said: “It’s good that he is not a disciple of Zixiao Jade Pavilion.”

She couldn’t accept a disciple from one of the four major Yuanzhen sects doing such a thing.

The disciples of the four major sects have a brighter future, and the battlefield outside the domain is the real place to go.

It is not the place for disciples from the four major sects to do such a sinister thing as lurking somewhere and carrying out assassination.

Li Miaotan sighed and said, “Fortunately it is the Yuanzhen Dynasty.”

What she was most worried about was that these assassins were really from the Yujing Dynasty.

Chu Zhiyuan said: “It is indeed the Yuanzhen Dynasty!”

The Yuanzhen Dynasty liked to do this kind of thing and liked to play such conspiracies and tricks.

Fan Yaohui said hurriedly: “This will clear the Yujing Dynasty of suspicion, and they won’t be able to make a fuss about this matter!”

He didn’t want to help the Yujing Dynasty, but to help the princess, and by the way, help Chu Zhiyuan as a way of repaying the life-saving grace.

Li Miaotan looked at the three Fengtian Palace masters and shook his head gently: “This matter is not that simple… This person must not be silenced.”

Fan Yaohui’s face darkened: “Yes, I must not be silenced again!”

When I think about what happened last time, I can’t help but feel annoyed and aggrieved.

Chu Zhiyuan asked: “Who are your companions and where do they live?”

The purple beads flickered slightly.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at the gray-robed middle-aged man who was struggling and had a cold look in his eyes: “It’s useless. It can’t interfere with the mind-reading beads.”

He knew that the middle-aged man in gray robe was trying his best to fantasize to avoid being seen clearly by the mind-reading bead.
