At that moment, Zhao Yun and Zhao Yang walked over with Yun Xiao Yi.
"Father, greetings to all the uncles," Zhao Yun greeted.
"Yun'er is back," Zhao An said, looking at his son with a puzzled expression. "Did you not bring anything back today?"
Ever since Zhao Yun learned Martial Arts, he had returned empty-handed from hunting, whether it was small game like rabbits or larger prey like wild boars. This had been the case for years. But today, he had brought back no trophies, which was indeed unusual.
"Did you not catch any game today?" Zhao An asked.
Zhao Yun shook his head. "I did catch something—a small deer and over ten wolves."
"Then where are the trophies?"
Zhao Yun revealed a mysterious smile. "Father, uncles, all the game has been brought back. However, could you first notice what is different about me and Zhao Yang today?"
"What difference could there be?" Zhao An muttered, but then suddenly noticed that both of them were wearing shining Iron Armor.
"Hush!"
According to the current laws, not only was it prohibited for private individuals to possess weapons, but armor was also included in this ban. Only officials were allowed to wear it; commoners were strictly forbidden. Because of this, possessing a single piece of armor was akin to holding three death warrants—those who wore it faced dire consequences.
In ancient times, General Zhou Yafu was suspected of treason simply because his son hid five hundred pieces of armor, leading him to starve himself to prove his innocence.
Although the Zhao Family Village was far less illustrious than the Zhou Yafu family, even possessing a few pieces of armor could lead to punishment. If their secret were discovered, the court would undoubtedly send officials to thoroughly investigate the entire estate.
Thinking of this, Zhao An anxiously questioned, "How did you come to wear these armors? Are you seeking death? Quickly take them off! Did anyone from the government see you on the way?"
Zhao Yun shook his head. "Please rest assured, Father; we did not encounter any officials along the way. Moreover, these are not ordinary armors; they are treasures."
Zhao An's fear lessened slightly at this revelation.
As long as one does not draw attention, in this era where Bandits run rampant, which family hasn't raised a few private guards? Who wouldn't keep some weapons at home? Even so, as long as matters are handled discreetly, the court usually won't pursue excessively. Otherwise, it can simply be resolved with money.
The talk of treasures left Zhao An somewhat perplexed. The Analects say: "The Master does not speak of strange things, force, disorder, or spirits." How could a son who has been well-versed in the classics since childhood believe in such things? Moreover, this was merely ordinary Iron Armor. What was so special about this so-called treasure?
Seeing his father's skepticism, Zhao Yun intended to prove it through action. "Fourth Brother, put down that box and come, try cutting my arm." Zhao Yang unhesitatingly set down the box and drew the blade from his waist.
However, a strange sight unfolded. Accompanied by a crisp sound of metal clashing, the armor shimmered faintly and successfully blocked the attack, while Zhao Yang's sword cracked along its edge. Zhao Yun shook his arm; aside from feeling a slight vibration, there was no other injury.
How could this be possible? Everyone present witnessed this scene, each person dumbfounded and incredulous. They rushed forward, repeatedly feeling Zhao Yun's armor. This seemingly ordinary armor could protect exposed parts of the body from harm. This was indeed a divine weapon! It must be an extraordinary item without a doubt.
If such a divine object belonged to the Zhao Family, it would surely ensure their prosperity for generations to come. "Yun, where did this artifact come from?"
Zhao Yun spoke candidly:
"It is a gift from the immortal."
As he said this, he presented the Brown Colorful Box to everyone.
"Father, this box contains all the game I brought back. Inside, there is a Dwarf Deer and nineteen wild wolves."
How could such a large quantity of game fit into this small space?
Having experienced the extraordinary Iron Armor, everyone dared not question further.
Zhao An stepped closer and opened the box.
Due to Yun Xiao Yi's secret unlocking signal, as soon as he opened it, he could directly see the contents inside.
This perspective astonished the onlookers.
It felt as if they were not merely seeing with their eyes but also perceiving with their hearts.
The scene inside the box was exactly as Zhao Yun had described; indeed, there was a Dwarf Deer and nineteen wild wolves.
This was precisely what the Great Thousand Realm contained within Jie Zi.
It could only be attributed to immortal arts!
There was no doubt that it was the work of a true Great Immortal!
Zhao An's breath caught involuntarily.
"Yun, where did you obtain these sacred items? Where is that immortal? Can we meet him?"
Zhao Yun revealed a mysterious smile and replied,
"Father, although the immortal resides beyond the Nine Heavens, it feels as if he is right before us."
"Huh? So far yet so near?"
