He had just detected a familiar trace from the many magical artifacts, and upon careful identification, he discovered something unexpected that seemed to be an Illuminati artifact.
"The style and arrangement of the spirit patterns are thirty to forty percent similar to the 'Taiyi Bright Shield' I acquired back in the day."
"Aren't there countless artifact-refining techniques in the world? Such a high degree of similarity is hard to call a coincidence..."
Zhang Yao's expression became subtly intriguing:
"If I remember correctly, this item should be from True Yang Ancestor."
A single magical treasure, of course, couldn't directly prove that True Yang Ancestor had any clandestine connections with the Illuminati.
After all, magical treasures have various origins and may also be spoils of war from Lingyang Sect's ancestors, passed down through generations, but Zhang Yao still took note of this matter cautiously.
"Crack!"
