Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 422 Beast Taming Flute

Faced with the Sixth Elder's mockery, Xu Yao didn't say anything, but just smiled faintly: "Sixth Elder."

"Do you take me, Xu Yao, for a three-year-old child? If I hadn't seen this jade pendant before, and if you weren't a member of the Lin family..."

“I wouldn’t care so much about this jade pendant. Now that I roughly know what’s going on, just tell me, does this jade pendant belong to your Lin family?”

"Or did you, for your own ulterior motives, simply hand over the person with this jade pendant to that fire-breathing bull to eat?"

"Sixth Elder, you really dare to act recklessly," Xu Yao said.

Hearing Xu Yao say this, the Sixth Elder angrily retorted, "Xu Yao, if you don't have evidence, don't talk nonsense."

"You're making things up without any evidence. I think you really have some problems."

Xu Yao laughed and said, "Alright, in that case, I'll just find your tools of the trade in your room."

"Xu Yao, what are you going to do?" The Sixth Elder looked at Xu Yao warily.

Xu Yao didn't say much, but simply searched inside the Sixth Elder's room and finally found it in a box.

Xu Yao found a flute.

This flute is made of the finest Lantian jade. If an ordinary person didn't know better, they would naturally think it was just an ordinary jade flute.

However, Xu Yao was no ordinary person, and he knew the flute very well; it was definitely a top-quality instrument.

Such a fine item is not something an ordinary person could produce, so Xu Yao, holding the flute, said, "Sixth Elder."

"Do you think I, Xu Yao, don't recognize this beast-taming flute?"

The Sixth Elder's expression changed slightly, but he still said directly, "This jade flute is just part of my collection."

"I only put it here because it looks nice, so why is there a problem with that?"

Xu Yao then said, "Since you don't admit it, fine, I'll take this Beast Taming Flute with me."

Upon seeing Xu Yao attempting to take the Beast Taming Flute away, the Sixth Elder immediately retorted, "Xu Yao, are you trying to steal it?"

Xu Yao then said, "So you still won't admit that this is a beast-taming flute, and that this flute can control spirit beasts."

"Were the spirit beasts on the back mountain and those near the Hanshan Sword Sect obtained by you using this flute?"

"Sixth Elder, are you still not telling the truth? If you don't tell the truth, I'm taking this flute away."

"It's just a regular flute anyway, I can play with it for a couple of days without any problem."

The Sixth Elder was truly at a loss. Since this guy had said it like that, he had no choice but to admit it.

Then he couldn't explain the matter clearly, so the Sixth Elder, in order not to expose himself, simply said, "Take it or leave it."

"I have nothing more to say."

Xu Yao then happily took the Beast Taming Flute away.

Xu Yao returned to the room with the Beast Taming Flute, and took it out.

Upon seeing the Beast Taming Flute, Han Yi exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this the Beast Taming Flute?"

"What, you know about this too?" Xu Yao was somewhat surprised by Han Yi, but then he thought of Han Yi's intelligence network.

Xu Yao then said, "I forgot, you're an expert at gathering information, you must know about this Beast Taming Flute."

Han Yi then said, "You might not know this, but let me put it this way: I was searching everywhere for this Beast Taming Flute."

"But to my surprise, it seems that half of the Beast Taming Flute is missing. No matter how hard I look, I can't find it."

"This beast-taming flute is a valuable item. How did it suddenly end up in your hands?"

Facing Han Yi and his group, Xu Yao smiled and said, "I found this Beast Taming Flute in the hands of the Sixth Elder."

"To be honest, I never expected that this thing would end up in the hands of the Sixth Elder," Xu Yao said.

"If the Sixth Elder is not to be mistaken, then I think he must be the real culprit behind the massacre of the Lin family."

"But this guy is too cunning. He keeps denying it, and I really have no way to deal with him."

Hearing Xu Yao say this, Han Yi said, "There's no rush. You can first see what other effects this Beast Taming Flute has."

"If we can get something out of here, it would be quite amazing. The Sixth Elder is right there."

"It can't possibly run away, so you don't need to worry."

Han Yi's words made Xu Yao understand that there was really no other way to explain this, since it could be done this way.

So, as Xu Yao said, we should get things sorted out first, and what comes next is not Xu Yao's concern.

For the next two days, Xu Yao spent all his time fiddling with the beast-taming flute, since he had only heard of it before and was seeing it for the first time.

Therefore, he himself did not know how to use the Beast Taming Flute.

After inspecting for a long time, Xu Yao finally discovered that there was a small crack under the beast-taming flute.

Although the slit was not very noticeable, it seemed as if it had been pried open.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yao immediately pried open the slits of the Beast Taming Flute, and in a short while, the Beast Taming Flute was fully opened.

It was a whistle that came out, and the whistle seemed to be made of an unusual material.

At least Xu Yao could tell that the whistle seemed to be made of special materials.

Although he didn't know what the whistle was for, Xu Yao still carried it with him at all times.

Just then, Han Xi rushed in.

Upon seeing Han Xi, Xu Yao asked curiously, "Sect Leader Han, you're covered in sweat, what's going on?"

At this moment, Han Xi said, "Brother Xu Yao, something has happened at the cave."

"What's going on?" Xu Yao also realized that something seemed amiss.

At this moment, Han Xi said, "The maze collapsed for some reason, and several of our disciples were trapped inside."

"Brother Xu Yao, you have to help save them!" Han Xi said.

Upon hearing that some disciples were trapped inside the maze, Xu Yao naturally rushed over as well.

When they arrived at the cave, Xu Yao saw that the cave, which had been normal before, was now completely filled with collapsed rocks.

The maze was completely crushed, and rocks were scattered all around.

Xu Yao quickly joined the others in the rescue work.

Fortunately, the disciples of Hanshan Sword Sect stayed just outside the maze this time and did not venture deep inside.

So although there was a landslide, they were rescued quickly, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

However, one of the disciples who was rescued caught Xu Yao's attention.
