The Legend of the Condor Heroes: From Being Expelled from Peach Blossom Island

Chapter 410 Continue to Bewitch
The person who came was naturally Wanyan Honglie. This guy had indeed not appeared for several days, but instead frequently went out.

He had suddenly become a hairless monster and was ridiculed by people. Helpless, he hid at home and refused to see anyone. Now, his hair, eyebrows, and beard have all grown back. Compared to the first day when they were just starting to sprout, after seven or eight days, there are still not many, but you can still see a fluffy patch.

Now Wanyan Honglie could no longer contain himself. He began to visit friends and appear in the public eye, his purpose being nothing more than to let outsiders know that his strange hair loss disease had been cured. This was related to his political life, and he had to let everyone know as soon as possible.

After Wanyan Honglie entered the courtyard, he first bowed to Wu Chengyu to show his respect, and then affectionately reached out and patted Yang Kang's head.

Yang Kang responded appropriately, his face beaming with a smile, and he nuzzled his head against Wanyan Honglie's palm, showing the son's affection for his father. Then Wanyan Honglie pinched Yang Kang a few more times, feeling the changes in his adopted son over the past few days.

"His body is indeed much stronger now. It seems that Kang'er has really grown up. I heard that he practices his skills every day without fail and is working very hard. I am very pleased with him."

"This is all thanks to my master's excellent teaching. He not only taught me martial arts, but also told me many stories, which taught me many principles. When Kang'er grows up, he will definitely be filial to his father."

Wanyan Honglie was quite pleased with himself after hearing this. How could he possibly have imagined Yang Kang's true thoughts when he said these words?

He patted Yang Kang's shoulder heavily, feeling very gratified, and then sincerely bowed to Wu Chengyu. For a prince like him, this was a very respectful gesture in this feudal society.

"Many thanks to Mr. Tian for his guidance of my child. I am deeply grateful and will repay him handsomely."

Upon seeing this, Wu Chengyu immediately returned the greeting. Although he had never understood Wanyan Honglie's thoughts, he was indeed somewhat moved.

Yang Kang has evolved into a heartless ingrate, but Wanyan Honglie's feelings for Yang Kang are absolutely genuine. How can he be so selfless? It's amazing.

Wu Chengyu laughed and gestured for Wanyan Honglie to sit down: "Your Highness, what are you saying? I have a master-disciple relationship with the young prince, so naturally I should do my best."

"Kang'er, demonstrate the marksmanship I've been teaching you to your father."

Upon hearing this, Yang Kang immediately understood and realized that his master had not mentioned the name "Yang Family". He then picked up his iron spear and demonstrated the sixty-four forms of the Yang Family Spear technique.

The little guy has been working hard these past few days. He's also quick to learn, and although the Yang family spear technique isn't very powerful yet, he's already wielding it quite well.

Wanyan Honglie didn't understand martial arts and couldn't recognize it as the Yang family spear technique. He was dazzled by the sight, nodding repeatedly and constantly reaching out to touch his newly grown beard.

“Good, very good. Kang’er has worked so hard, how can I not reward you handsomely? Just tell me what you want, and I will give it to you.”

"Father, I don't want anything, I just want you to be happy."

"Hahaha, I am very happy, but I cannot not reward you. Since you like practicing with your spear, how can you not have a good horse? I will go to the Imperial Stables tomorrow and pick out a top-quality warhorse for you. What do you say?"

"Thank you, father."

Wu Chengyu watched coldly from the sidelines. Wanyan Honglie was deeply devoted to his son. As for Yang Kang, he was quite the actor. If he didn't know Yang Kang's thoughts, he wouldn't have been able to see any flaws. If things continued to develop this way, the better Wanyan Honglie treated Yang Kang now, the more unpredictable Yang Kang's future actions would become.

The kind of ingrates take all the kindness others show for granted, and see this kindness as a reason for ulterior motives or even revenge. Wu Chengyu has increasingly high expectations for the future of the father and son.

"Your Highness, you can rest assured now. Since I have received your favor, I will do my best and never be perfunctory."

"Rest assured, of course rest assured. I am not here today to supervise Mr. Tian. I have no doubts about Mr. Tian. It is simply that Mr. Tian's request has already been fulfilled."

These weapons of yours were crafted by the best artisans of my Great Jin Dynasty. In my opinion, they are indeed divine weapons. I wonder if you are satisfied, sir.

After speaking, Wanyan Honglie gestured to his men to place the tray in front of Wu Chengyu, and then personally unveiled the red veil covering it.

Wu Chengyu was also getting impatient, as his pair of personal weapons were now complete.

After melting down those two strange, magnetic swords, his Black and White Impermanence was actually a little smaller than before. Originally, it was 45 centimeters in diameter, but now, including the body, it was just over 30 centimeters, making it even more compact and exquisite.

However, after acquiring them, they became significantly heavier. Originally, each one weighed over 20 pounds, but now it weighs nearly 30 pounds, which would be considered a heavy weapon on the battlefield.

Apart from that, the appearance of the Qiankun Ring has not changed much. The ring body is still dark gold, and the blades are black and white, still as sharp as ever. The name of the Black and White Impermanence does not need to be changed; it is still a deadly weapon.

But Wu Chengyu was more concerned with the changes after the melting process. He separated the Black and White Impermanence who were originally stuck together. The attraction between them was quite strong, and it would take some effort for an ordinary person to separate them.

However, after injecting his own internal force, he could cancel out the magnetic force between the two Qiankun Rings. Whether the attraction between them existed or not was entirely under Wu Chengyu's control.

This is why Wu Chengyu was willing to travel a long distance to take these two swords from Xixia. The material used to forge these swords was truly amazing. It could be controlled with internal force, unlike ordinary magnets. Even the craftsman in charge of forging them was amazed. He had never seen such a material in his entire life as a blacksmith.

Only by controlling the magnetic force at will can one truly control the trajectory of the Black and White Impermanence in the air. Combined with the special techniques of Shifting Stars and White Rainbow Palm, this set of extraordinary weapons will shine brightly in Wu Chengyu's hands.

Wu Chengyu controlled the magnetic force between the Black and White Impermanence. The Black Impermanence was in his hand, while the White Impermanence automatically flew into the air and spun continuously under Wu Chengyu's control, even swimming around Wu Chengyu as if it were alive.

Immediately afterwards, he also threw the White Impermanence into the air, using his internal force and a special technique to connect the magnetic force between the two Impermanences. The black and white objects spun in the air, constantly changing direction, as if they possessed intelligence.

Wu Chengyu tested it out. Within three zhang (approximately 10 meters), the two Wuchang swords were mutually attracted and completely under his control. He could even control them to attack enemies simultaneously, using both hands freely to launch attacks at the same time, which was extremely convenient. As for beyond three zhang, he could only use the previous method to make them fly back automatically, but this distance was already sufficient.

Next, we need to study the issue of distraction control. Perhaps in the future, we should also seek out the Old Urchin to study the Ambidextrous Fighting Technique. But these are all matters for later. The current Black and White Impermanence are more than enough. Even the Five Greats would have a lot of trouble dealing with them.

This operation left the father and son standing nearby dumbfounded; they simply couldn't believe such a magical weapon existed.

"Mr. Tian is simply a divine being! Is this some kind of magical power?"

"Haha, Your Highness flatters me. It's just a little trick, using the magnetic force on them. It's nothing like the legendary immortals who can control objects and travel through the heavens."

Yang Kang asked excitedly, "Master, can you teach me these? They're amazing!"

"With your current skill level, you're far from sufficient. I'll teach you when you've mastered the Innate Skill; otherwise, you'll only harm yourself."

Yang Kang, being a young man, couldn't resist trying to use such a magical weapon, but the Black and White Impermanence were too sharp and immediately cut a large gash in his hand, causing blood to flow freely.

Wanyan Honglie, deeply devoted to his son, immediately became anxious. Wu Chengyu then reached out and pressed two acupoints on Yang Kang's hand to stop the bleeding.

"You clumsy kid, you've got hurt, haven't you?"

Yang Kang didn't react much, and laughed, "It's nothing, just a small hole. Master, you said you would teach me in the future, so I can make a pair of Qiankun Rings like this too."

Wanyan Honglie hurriedly said, "What are you laughing at, Kang'er? Go find the physician in the manor to bandage your wound immediately."

Seeing Wanyan Honglie's anxious expression, Yang Kang wondered what he was thinking. According to Wu Chengyu's guess, Yang Kang probably thought Wanyan Honglie was being hypocritical. Once he had a prejudice in his heart, all interactions would be tainted.

"Father, don't panic. I'll go right away. Father, please stay and chat with Master. I'll be right back."

Yang Kang turned and left. Wanyan Honglie watched Yang Kang's disappearing figure, lost in thought, before finally letting out a long sigh.

Wu Chengyu immediately understood and chimed in like a straight man: "It seems Your Highness has some worries on your mind."

Wanyan Honglie did not answer directly: "Everyone has their troubles, even I, the Prince Zhao of the Great Jin, am no exception."

Wu Chengyu's mind raced. He had already seen results in bewitching Yang Kang. It takes two to tango. Wouldn't it be even better if he could also bewitch Wanyan Honglie?

"Does Your Highness know why you contracted that strange illness before?"

"Please speak frankly, Mr. Tian."

"The prince's internal yin and yang energies were out of balance, which caused the disaster to affect him."

The Yin and Yang energies were also affected by the prince's emotions, which caused them to move abnormally.

Firstly, the prince must have a knot in his heart that he can't untie, worrying day and night, which is difficult to relieve and will cause health problems.

"The prince must have encountered some misfortune afterward, and in that moment of anxiety and anger, his yin and yang energies became further imbalanced, which is why he suddenly fell ill."

Wanyan Honglie sat there in a daze for a long time, then let out another long sigh: "Sir, you are indeed a divine being, you have completely guessed my thoughts."

I do have a knot in my heart that I can't untie, so much so that I often toss and turn at night. A few months ago, I went to Jingzhao Prefecture to deal with those bandit troops who were opposing my Great Jin.

The original plan was well-thought-out and was sure to deliver a fatal blow to those bandits. But something went wrong. Three thousand cavalry and one hundred heavy armored soldiers were wiped out overnight. Not only did my plan fail, but it also caused such a heavy loss to my Great Jin.

After receiving this devastating news, my body hair began to fall out. When I returned to Daxing, I was reprimanded by my father for this, and in the end, I was completely bald, becoming a laughingstock in my royal family.

Wu Chengyu chuckled inwardly. He had secretly dealt with Wanyan Honglie the night before his plan was thwarted. Sure enough, the hair started falling out the next day. When Wanyan Honglie returned to Daxing and was reprimanded by the emperor, it was exactly when all the hair had fallen out. The timing was incredibly coincidental.

"Your Highness's failed scheme was merely the final trigger. What truly made Your Highness ill was that knot in your heart. If this knot is not untied, this ailment will inevitably recur if another unexpected event occurs. Therefore, Your Highness should resolve this knot in your heart as soon as possible."

"Sigh, since it's a knot in my heart, how can it be easily untied?"

Just then, Wu Chengyu had a sudden thought. He sensed that Yang Kang had returned after bandaging his wounds. However, the boy was very thoughtful and did not come in immediately. Instead, he hid outside the courtyard gate to eavesdrop on Wu Chengyu's conversation with Wanyan Honglie, which would be perfect for adding fuel to the fire.

He immediately used his persuasive skills to influence Wanyan Honglie's subconscious: "Why don't you tell me about your problem, Your Highness? Although I am an outsider, I can see things more clearly from the sidelines and may be able to give you some advice."

Wanyan Honglie was indeed worried, and now, under the influence of the ultrasonic waves of the "talking technique," he had an urge to speak his mind.

"Alas, it all started with whether I could inherit the throne."
