The Beilao clan head having a soul light bead was completely out of the expectations of Shirong, so much so that he had to improvise on the spot. He thought of potential solutions at a lightning speed and came up with his current excuse.
He gritted his teeth and took out the strange rock that he had obtained from the bottom of the underground lake. He realized that it could be mistaken as the Armour or shell of some kind and besides, they did not know what the beast looked like in reality anyway.
He came to this solution as he had seen an armor shearing talisman in the storage ring of the Beilao clan heir. The Armor shearing talisman's function was exactly what its name meant. It was a one time use talisman that could weaken and break the armor of a cultivator or a beast. Even if it was a mid grade talisman and it was still quite a bit valuable.
