e able to control the dagger.Xiao Yu slowly walked towards the lying-down Shaman. As Xiao Yu approached the Shaman and tried to drag him out when the Shaman was still lying down, the Shaman suddenly r...Chapter 543: The Origin of the Dagger

When Xiao Yu heard Li Suijun's words, his left hand twitched, and a dagger in its leather sheath slid out from his sleeve, appearing in Xiao Yu’s hand.

Xiao Yu had no objections to Li Suijun wanting to see the dagger; it was a relic of his maternal grandfather, and since Li Suijun and his maternal grandfather were sworn brothers, he must have seen this dagger before. Thus, as soon as Li Suijun mentioned it, Xiao Yu took out the dagger that was hidden in his sleeve.

Back then, when Xiao Yu fought the apes in the marshlands and felt a dark shadow appear while he was in a state of oneness with heaven and earth, he immediately retracted the dagger.

The dagger was too strange, and as a concealed weapon, it could only be effective if used covertly. Furthermore, Li Suijun’s appearance had initially shocked him so much that he felt threatened by him. Only by concealing this dagger would it truly be able to serve its purpose of killing.

Of course, at the time, he didn’t know that it was Li Suijun who came, otherwise, there wouldn't have been such concerns.

Xiao Yu held out the dagger and handed it to Li Suijun. He had considered that Li Suijun might be interested in this dagger, but he wasn’t worried about it because if this dagger could survive under his maternal grandfather’s care, it shouldn’t pose any problems now either.

When Li Suijun saw the dagger Xiao Yu handed over, his originally calm face suddenly became excited. His hands trembled as did his lips, wanting to say something but unable to utter a single word.

Even though the dagger was still in its sheath, seeing the handle of this dagger allowed Li Suijun to know its origin immediately.

Liang Shiyu’s hands trembled as he reached out towards Xiao Yu's dagger. When he took hold of Xiao Yu’s dagger, his eyes actually moistened, and he let out a long sigh.

Li Suijun pulled the dagger out of its sheath, revealing a glint of cold light. A strong aura of ferocity began to spread across the entire encampment, even showing signs of spreading outward.

Xiao Yu’s face changed when he saw this and quickly stood up, taking a step forward to reach out his hand towards Li Suijun's dagger, putting it back into its sheath.

Li Suijun was just looking at the dagger in his hand when suddenly he felt a shadow reaching for it. Just as he intended to move, upon seeing Xiao Yu, his hand immediately withdrew.

When Li Suijun saw Xiao Yu sheath the dagger and pass it back to him, he immediately understood Xiao Yu's intention. A look of shame appeared on his face.

When Li Suijun saw this dagger, he had been too overwhelmed by its presence that he forgot about its violent and fierce aura.

While the dagger was in Xiao Yu's possession, he could still control the violent aura within it. However, now that it was back in Li Suijun’s hands, despite his profound abilities, Li Suijun lacked the means to suppress this vicious aura.

When Xiao Yu returned the dagger to its scabbard, the oppressive and violent aura instantly vanished.

Xiao Yu had also been puzzled at first why there was no trace of that violent aura when the dagger was in its sheath. After further investigation, he discovered that the inside walls of the scabbard were covered with talismans. Dozens of breath-holding talismans within the scabbard perfectly restrained the violent and fierce aura inside.

"W-who..."

"What's wrong"

"Swoosh..." As soon as the violent aura spread throughout the tent, several figures burst out of it shouting.

"Master... (Old Man) what’s wrong !" After bursting out and seeing Xiao Yu and Li Suijun standing in the courtyard, they couldn’t help but ask.

The people who emerged were Zhang Dahan and his group.

They had been meditating inside the tent to absorb the medicinal power when a heart-stopping aura suddenly came over them. The source of this aura seemed to be right next to them, so they stopped their meditation and rushed out, thinking someone was attacking the camp!

The term violent aura was only known among cultivators; in the eyes of martial artists, it simply meant a malevolent spirit.

Seeing several figures rush out, Li Suijun’s excited expression instantly calmed down.

"Everything's fine! Go back to rest. I’m just talking with Xiao Yu!" Seeing that they had all rushed out and heard their questions, Li Suijun waved his hand at them and said.

After hearing Li Suijun's words, despite Zhang Dahai and the others being curious about what just happened, none of them spoke up and entered in.

However, the three guards of Li Suijun did not enter the tent as instructed by him but instead stood beside it, watching over Li Suijun.

Sitting in meditation could happen anytime, but Li Suijun's safety was the most important. Even if he told them to come inside, they dared not do so, for even though their help might be limited here, this was their duty. Anyone wanting to harm Li Suijun would have to step over their corpses.

Master Baiyun also walked towards the tent. When he reached it and turned back to look at Xiao Yu and Li Suijun, others may not understand what had happened, but he did.

This intense and violent aura of malevolence wasn't something ordinary people or objects possessed; he hadn’t seen such a violently malevolent aura before. Thus, his heart was most shaken, but considering Li Suijun's identity, he didn't dare to ask further.

In his view, some ancient and modern evil weapons weren't much different from this intense and violent aura of malevolence. Moreover, sometimes such an aura represented a place filled with great calamity.

Seeing that his three guards hadn’t entered the tent, Li Suijun didn't say anything more. These guards could be considered his absolute confidants; apart from some core secrets, they knew most of what was going on within their special unit.

"Xiao Yu! Is this dagger a legacy left to you by your grandfather" After seeing Zhang Dahai and others enter the tent, Li Suijun turned to Xiao Yu and asked.

As he looked at Xiao Yu again, his calm face became excited and full of anticipation once more.

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "In my grandfather's letter left for me, it says this is a legacy."

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, the expectant look on Li Suijun’s face suddenly relaxed; he let out a long breath and looked seriously at Xiao Yu. "Xiao Yu, I have something to ask you now! Although you've inherited your grandfather's legacy and are considered a member of our unit, you haven't actively participated in it yet. What I want to know is whether you're willing to formally join us"

To question Xiao Yu about this was an idea that had formed in Li Suijun's mind after learning that the dagger belonged to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu didn't understand what significance the dagger held, but he knew that since Xiao Yu possessed it now, he needed to clarify the matter.

After all, this dagger was a symbol of their special unit's leader, and it had always been in the possession of their eldest brother. After their eldest brother went missing, so did the dagger.

It didn’t take long before Xiao Yu’s grandfather also retired, so he never expected that this dagger was actually in the possession of his second uncle, and now it had been passed down to him.

Although it seemed a bit silly to determine someone's position as captain based on a dagger, this rule was established by their eldest brother who was also the founder of the unit. None of them would dare defy it.

Of course, this rule only applied when the dagger was passed down within their own lineage; if anyone else were to acquire the dagger, they’d likely find ways to reclaim it!

Now that Xiao Yu had the dagger in his possession, should he return and formally join the unit, even if he wasn’t particularly strong, he would become the leader of their unit. Moreover, with his divine medical skills, this would be a huge asset for them.

Just like how Xiao Yu’s grandfather could serve as a pillar in their unit due to his miraculous medical abilities.

To put it simply, they could manage without anyone else, but they couldn’t do without Xiao Yu’s grandfather. Whose life hadn't been saved by their second uncle Therefore, he looked at Xiao Yu with high expectations after asking him this question.

If Xiao Yu agreed to join them, then he would have the right to know everything about their unit's secrets. But if not, they could only inform him once he officially joined them.

Moreover, the matter of Xiao Yu holding the dagger had to be discussed with his old comrades when he returned. Regardless of whether or not Xiao Yu agreed, he planned to leave today.

Originally, he intended to wait for the researchers and experts to arrive before heading back to the swamp once again, but now he didn’t plan on doing so because everything else paled in comparison to this dagger.

Upon hearing Li Suijun's words, Xiao Yu fell into deep thought. He couldn't understand why Li Suijun would ask him about this; these old men had previously asked him the same question but he hadn’t agreed back then. Now that Li Suijun brought it up again, although he didn’t know why, seeing Li Suijun’s serious expression made him realize that something big was at stake. Therefore, Xiao Yu considered his decision carefully.

Time slowly passed, but Xiao Yu still hadn't made a decision.

Li Suijun saw Xiao Yu sitting there and didn’t disturb him because the matter had to be decided by him alone. If he revealed their unit's secrets now, it might tempt Xiao Yu into agreeing, but he couldn’t do that since joining them could put his life at risk. This decision had to be made without any distractions.

Furthermore, even if Xiao Yu agreed to join in the future, Li Suijun would have to inform him about potential dangers and risks. Besides, Xiao Yu was the sole heir of both the Xiaos and Zhaos.

The sky gradually darkened as Li Suijun quietly stood where he was, watching Xiao Yu without any urging.(To be continued...)ver, if the family wins, then let’s pretend that I didn’t say anything. As for those who don’t accept my challenge, they will be considered as agreeing with this rule!"After hearing what Chen Boxi sai...
