856 The Mission of the Ten Thousand Gu King (2)
Yu Wan suppressed the urge to cut her into pieces on the spot and looked at Sikong Changfeng. “Young Master Sikong, there are some things I don’t have time to explain to you. Great Grandpa is seriously injured. I don’t want anyone to discover this. Can I trouble you to lure the disciples of the Chaoyang Hall away?”
Great-Great Grandpa?
Sikong Changfeng was shocked, but he knew his priorities and did not let himself continue to drown in shock. He immediately turned around and went to the Chaoyang Hall.
The moment the Nether Mountain shook, the Chaoyang Hall was in chaos. The disciples were all guessing what had happened. Where did the unfamiliar aura that suddenly appeared in the Nether Mountain come from?
Also, such a big thing had happened. Why was there no sign of the old ancestor?
Sikong Changfeng said seriously, “An assassin broke into the Nether Mountain and has been captured by the Ancestor. The Ancestor is interrogating him. All of you, follow me to search the other places on the Nether Mountain and see if there are any hidden assassins.”
“Yes!” The disciples followed Sikong Changfeng.
The Saintess and the peak Level Five Asura King stayed in the tomb, guarded by the Ten Thousand Gu King and the Little Gu. Yu Wan and Ah Wei brought the children and the unconscious Old Ancestor Si Kong back to the Chaoyang Hall.
Sikong Ye’s situation was not optimistic. To be precise, it was not optimistic at all. His “life is coming to an end” was not fake, and “no medicine can cure” was not a casual word. At his age, he was still unable to break through to the ninth level of the Longevity Technique and reach the end of his life.
And it was indeed because he was too powerful that the pills in the Nether Capital were no longer useful to him.
“Can your Gu worm find Yan Jiuchao and the others?” Yu Wan asked.
“Yes,” Ah Wei said.
Yu Wan wanted to know the whereabouts of Yan Jiuchao and everyone else because she was worried that something would happen to them. After all, this assassin was so powerful, so the person who chased after Yan Jiuchao was definitely not bad. With her Asura’s realm, he was probably not the other party’s match.
Secondly, Yu Wan’s medical skills were limited, so she still needed Old Cui to treat Sikong Ye.
Just as Ah Wei was about to go out to look for Yan Jiuchao and the others, Yan Jiuchao had already brought Asura, Shadow Six, and Shadow Thirteen, who also needed to recuperate, into the Nether Mountain.
Yan Jiuchao was still wearing Sikong Yun’s face. No one stopped him from bringing many people into the Sikong Manor. Then, they followed the secret passageway of the Nether Mountain to the Chaoyang Hall.
The moment they saw each other, both sides heaved a long sigh of relief.
“How are you?” Yu Wan came to Yan Jiuchao.
“I’m fine,” Yan Jiuchao said.
The Sikong family’s life-saving pill was temporarily effective on him.
Yu Wan was still worried. She raised her hand to take his pulse. There were signs of internal injuries and he even said that he was fine. However, his pulse was not too bad and there were faint signs of improvement. It was a blessing in disguise.
Yu Wan thought of something and asked, “Have you also lost your martial arts? I just found out that people who practice the Longevity Technique will suffer a backlash when the moon is full.”
Yan Jiuchao had already sensed this on the way to the Nether Capital. However, at that time, he did not know if it would flare up once a month. He thought that his cultivation had been messed up because he was not careful.
Yu Wan looked at the door. “By the way, where’s Second Grand-aunt and Qing Yan?”
Shadow Six said, “They escaped and haven’t been contacted for the time being, but all the assassins are already dead. They shouldn’t be in danger for the time being.”
Yu Wan looked at Shadow Thirteen in Shadow Six’s arms. “Thirteen is also injured?”
“Yes.” Shadow Six nodded sadly. Actually, he had long given Shadow Thirteen a pill to revive him, but with the same pill, Young Master had come back to life, but Shadow Thirteen was still unconscious. He was very worried and afraid that Shadow Thirteen would never wake up again.
Yu Wan tidied up the rooms next door and let the group stay in her great-grandfather’s courtyard for the time being. Firstly, it was for the convenience of recuperating, and secondly, it was to prevent anyone from assassinating them again.
Shadow Six carried Shadow Thirteen back to the room. Yu Wan stayed in her great grandfather’s room. Even though she knew that it was not very effective, Yu Wan still fed him a pill. Then, Yu Wan tried to administer acupuncture to her great grandfather to suppress the internal injuries caused by the peak Level Five Asura King.
However, it was in vain.
Yu Wan sighed. “It seems that we have to find Old Cui.”
Yan Jiuchao, who was sitting by the window and silently guarding her and the children, said softly, “It’s useless even if he comes. His time is up. Even if Hua Tuo reincarnates, he won’t be able to extend his life.”
