"Therefore, to ensure the plan proceeds smoothly, and to make the Inheritors willing to give their lives for the Opener, a certain measure must be taken." Here Lord Libationer Nantian paused, then said, "That is—the Opener must copulate with all seven Inheritors at once. I will use a special method to set up a Heart-Link Lock Formation: honor shared, ruin shared. If anything happens to the Opener, all the Inheritors will die! Conversely, if something happens to an Inheritor, it will not affect the Opener! This is also why the Inheritors have been kept virgins! Once an Inheritor loses her chastity for the sake of a man she loves, the Heart-Link Lock Formation becomes void—she will share honor and ruin only with the man she loves, and have no connection to the Opener! And copulation while still a virgin is the crucial step of the Heart-Link Lock Formation!"
"I don't agree!" Wei Zhao hadn't expected this to be the reason the Inheritors were kept virgins, and anger surged through him. He had assumed there was some principle behind it—never had he imagined such a sordid motive!
Every one of these Inheritors was among those dearest to him. How could he possibly agree to such a proposal?
Kang Jingming and Ancestor Xuanchen exchanged a glance, each seeing a cold sneer in the other's eyes. They'd known Wei Zhao would jump up to object—haha, now he'd offend not only Lord Libationer Nantian but every trial participant as well. Let's see how you get out of this one!
"Wei Zhao, are you going to sabotage the entire inheritance plan for the sake of your own selfish desires?" Ancestor Xuanchen said coldly. "Do you mean that because you disagree, Cloud Terrace Island won't be opened? That we needn't go to Cloud Terrace Island at all, and Lord Libationer Nantian made his trip for nothing?"
Ancestor Xuanchen was sinister indeed. With a single speech, he had pushed Wei Zhao into opposition against every cultivator present and against Lord Libationer Nantian himself—and left Wei Zhao with no way to refute him!
Sure enough, the moment the words left his mouth, the trial participants glared at Wei Zhao. They all feared him, and for now dared not speak their anger aloud—but if someone were to raise the call, these people would surely fall upon him in a mob!
"Exactly, Wei Zhao, don't be so petty! I'm only borrowing them for a bit—at worst, once Cloud Terrace Island is opened, I'll give them back to you!" Tagan Long looked at Wei Zhao with a face full of smirking disdain. He had waited a long time for this moment!
He had suffered under Wei Zhao all this while, and now at last he had his chance to turn the tables! Sleeping with Wei Zhao's women—there was nothing quite so satisfying. Especially since Wei Zhao hadn't even taken their virginity; didn't that make him the first to have them? Second-hand was sweet enough—let alone first-hand!
Tagan Long's mind churned ceaselessly with fantasies of pushing down all those Inheritors.
"He's the Opener?" Wei Zhao glanced at Tagan Long and asked mildly, "Why does he get to be the Opener? What makes him so special? Can't anyone else open it?"
"Enough with the useless talk—if he can open it, then he naturally has his special qualities!" Kang Jingming cut in. "You think just anyone can open it? If that were so, Sun Jingyan wouldn't have needed to heal him back then!"
"Him? What's so special?" Wei Zhao shot back. "Tell me—maybe I can open it too."
