"The Emperor Heart Technique you saw earlier, whether it's the White Tiger Physique Technique or the White Tiger Heart Mind Technique, are actually derived from this fundamental scripture.

"Once you cultivate the White Tiger True Qi, you will be controlled by others, truly dangerous to the extreme."

She said this much but then appeared somewhat puzzled:

"However, when judging just by martial arts, the Emperor Heart Technique is indeed profound and magical, but… what about that Holy Artifact?"

"Of course, we have to ask our High Priest about that."

Su Mo turned to look back, only to see the High Priest had somehow already entered the Tiger Lord Hall.

The fierce tigers outside were still roaring, and the High Priest's hand that was holding the Jade Flute was already covered in blood.

Apparently, she was no longer able to play.

She quietly looked at the three people, with a somber expression she spoke:

"You... breaking into my clan's sacred land so brazenly, how outrageous!

"Lord Su, as the number one figure in Donghuang, how can you commit such an impolite act?"

Su Mo managed a wry smile:

"The High Priest misunderstands. Not long ago, I passed through Baihu City, and there happened to be some misunderstandings with several people inside.

"In order to apologize, the High Priest personally gifted me with the Emperor Heart Technique.

"However, after examining it, I always felt like the Emperor Heart Technique contained something strange, as if it were missing a crucial part...

"Presumably, the High Priest was too busy and overlooked it, hence my uninvited visit today was to see if that missing part could be retrieved.

"Since I have now seen it, I won't be failing to appreciate the kindness of the High Priest.

"Ah, but this place is indeed the sacred land of the White Tiger Clan, we've overstayed our welcome, and so we shall take our leave."

After finishing his statement, he began to lead his people to leave.

"You... cough cough cough..."

The High Priest, angry, couldn't stop coughing and involuntarily shouted angrily:

"You've seen the core of our clan's Cultivation Technique, the fundamental Emperor Heart Technique, and just like that, you want to leave?"

"What else then?"

Su Mo looked at the High Priest with a puzzled face:

"The High Priest personally said that this is the White Tiger Clan's sacred land, and we must not break in recklessly.

"Just now I didn't heed the warning, and indeed that was my fault.

"Now that I've realized the error of my ways and plan to leave, why is the High Priest not pleased?"

"..."

This isn't even human language!!

The High Priest looked at Su Mo and felt an aching in her chest.

The outside shouting was still ongoing, and the roars of the White Tiger echoed through the valley, causing the Tiger Lord Hall to tremble slightly.

The High Priest took a deep breath and suddenly knelt down:

"Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort... I beg you, please save the White Tiger Clan."

Su Mo firmly shook his head:

"This matter has nothing to do with me; the White Tiger Clan is defiant and seeks to shape a deity using human power.

"What they are scheming is truly shocking.

"Now they are reaping the consequences, which they must bear themselves. I truly cannot grant the High Priest's request."

The High Priest wasn't surprised at the response but looked outside the Tiger Lord Hall and softly said:

"Our clan's experts have already gone all out.

"If we can't keep this Evil Tiger here, after our clan's experts are nearly all dead or wounded, it will surely break free.

"There are still countless ordinary people within Baihu City.

"It doesn't know what mercy is, nor how to discern friend from foe.

"Wherever it goes, rivers of blood will surely flow.

"My clan has no favors or commitments to Lord Su, and this request is indeed an unreasonable imposition.

"Even if Lord Su refuses to consider my clan's fate, how can he let this Evil Tiger run rampant killing innocent people after it escapes?

"In truth... If it is allowed to leave, not only will Baihu City be reduced to ashes.

"Wherever it goes, countless people will meet a gruesome death."

Yang Xiaoyun and Xu Lu couldn't help but turned their gaze upon the High Priest.

Yang Xiaoyun spoke first:

"Why such an extreme consequence? It's just a fierce tiger... although it is indeed very large, to say it possesses Divine Skills, I have yet to see any.

"Are you saying that all the skilled fighters of your White Tiger Clan can't stop it?"

"It's not just a fierce tiger..."

The High Priest sighed, "Inside it, it carries our clan's Holy Artifact."

"...What exactly is your clan's Holy Artifact?"

Su Mo asked.

"It's a heart."

The High Priest looked up at Su Mo: "The Heart of the Tiger Lord!"

"...Speak truthfully!"

Su Mo's face darkened, we're at this point, and you're still speaking like this?

"This..."

The High Priest hesitated slightly: "Actually, I do not know what exactly it is. Our clan's Holy Artifact is actually a heart-shaped stone."

"A stone?"

Su Mo seemed thoughtful: "Tell me more."

The High Priest couldn't help but take a distant look outside, sighed in his heart, knowing full well that Su Mo would not care about the life and death of their White Tiger Clan.

His poking around here was due to curiosity, and also considering the lives of others in Baihu City who did not belong to the White Tiger Clan.

So, no matter how brutal the killing became in the valley, he was not in a rush.

But while Su Mo was not in a rush, the High Priest could not afford to be.

Without delay, he hurriedly spoke up:

"The Holy Artifact of our White Tiger Clan is indeed a stone.

"It is shaped like a heart and can contain the inner workings of the Emperor Heart Technique of our White Tiger Clan.

"Because of this, since the most ancient ancestors, our clan has treated it as the sacred object of heritage.

"Before the death of each High Priest, they would infuse their lifetime of accumulated power into this Holy Artifact.

"The successive High Priest then cultivates the Emperor Heart Technique with help from this Artifact, achieving Great Success in a very short time.

"You have now also seen our White Tiger Clan's Emperor Heart Technique, and know its mystery.

"Each High Priest uses it to control the entire White Tiger Clan.

"Our clan does not seek to dominate the world nor to look down upon heroes.

"We only wish to recuperate here, letting our lineage continue for thousands of generations.

"And this succession should have been normal...

"But that year, after the four highest skilled masters from the Da Xuan Dynasty came, a disaster occurred."

That year when the four highest skilled masters from the Da Xuan Dynasty came to Baihu City, their original purpose was indeed the Emperor Heart Technique.

But after they broke into this Tiger Lord Hall and discovered the truth of the Emperor Heart Technique, they changed their minds.

They no longer wanted the Emperor Heart Technique... they wanted the White Tiger Clan's Holy Artifact.
