867 Refining the Yin Gu (1)
The moment he saw the empty bottle, Master Sang knew that he had been tricked.
Why did he say that he had been tricked and not misunderstood them? This was because there was clearly the aura of a Yin Gu in this jade bottle, which proved that the Yin Gu had indeed been in the bottle not long ago and its aura had not dispersed in time.
It was precisely because of this that they could deceive him and the experts of the Sang family.
This girl pretended to pester him, looking extremely guilty. She lured him to snatch it, but in the end, he only snatched an empty bottle. He knew that he had fallen into her trap without guessing. When he was hit by this girl’s diversion, he was almost certain that while everyone was entangled here, the Yin Gu had been sent to a safe place.
It might even be in the hands of that Ancestor Sikong. At the moment, he did not have the guts to kill his way up the Nether Mountain to snatch something from that Ancestor.
Of course, this was based on the premise that Master Sang did not know that Old Ancestor Sikong was about to die. If Master Sang knew that Old Ancestor Sikong was about to die, he would probably kill his way to the Nether Mountain and snatch the Yin Gu back.
Master Sang’s expression turned very ugly. Not only was he fooled, but he also exposed the Asura King’s strength for nothing.
This was not a good thing.
Yu Wan watched the commotion and crossed her arms. She raised her eyebrows and said, “I told you, we didn’t take anything from the Sang family. If you want the Gu King, I’ll give you as much as you want. Now, can you let them go?”
How could Master Sang be willing to let go? He wished he could kill that attendant!
Master Sikong walked forward with his hands behind his back and looked at him angrily. “The truth of the incident has been revealed. This child doesn’t have anything that has been stolen from your manor. I hope your manor doesn’t make things difficult for him.”
Master Sikong was also a little angry. He didn’t even call him father-in-law anymore.
Master Sang looked at Master Sikong and then at the girl with a tail that could not wait to be raised to the sky. He was furious, but in the end, he did not dare to completely fall out with the Sikong Family. He asked the Level Seven Asura King to let that kid go. Then, he snorted coldly and flicked his sleeves before leaving.
Today, what should and should not be exposed has all been exposed. No one would believe him if he pretended that he was looking for pills and weapons. Before he left, he glanced at Yu Wan one last time.
Yan Jiuchao alighted from the carriage indifferently and stood in front of Yu Wan, blocking Master Sang’s murderous gaze.
Master Sang looked at his grandson and narrowed his eyes with a complicated expression.
After Master Sang left with his subordinates, Master Sikong heaved a sigh of relief. After all, he knew the ancestor’s situation, but he never expected that the Sang family would have an expert at the seventh-stage Asura King. Fortunately, Master Sang was afraid of the ancestor. Otherwise, if they really fought, they would definitely lose.
When did the Sang family… become so powerful?
Master Sikong shook his head. Now was not the time to guess this. It was more important to protect the ancestor’s life. Otherwise, once the ancestor was gone, the Sikong family would completely be no match for the Sang family.
Master Sikong looked at Yu Wan and asked solemnly, “Ah Wan, has the Yin Gu arrived at the Nether Mountain?”
“It should be there,” Yu Wan said.
The group immediately entered the Nether Mountain. Yu Wan’s guess was right. The Yin Gu had indeed been successfully driven to the Chaoyang Hall by Little Gu. Ah Wei had no sense of direction. From the beginning, Yu Wan had no intention of letting him send the Yin Gu back to the Nether Mountain. She only asked Ah Wei to bring the Yin Gu for a while so that his body would be tainted by the aura of the Yin Gu so that he could confuse the Sang family.
The Yin Gu was injured by the pressure of the Saint King. Little Gu rode on it and flew for a while before stopping. It stumbled and only arrived at the Nether Mountain at dusk. Yu Wan used the pill furnace to refine the Yin Gu and fed it to her great grandfather.
“Is this good?” Yu Wan turned to look at Master Sikong.
Master Sikong shook his head. “No, we’ll have to see if he can break through to the ninth level of the Longevity Technique. If he can, the time limit will be over. If he can’t, the poison of the Yin Gu will kill him.”
Yu Wan’s eyebrows twitched. “It’s so dangerous! Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
Master Sikong said earnestly, “His time is up. If he doesn’t use the Yin Gu, he will also die. This is the only chance for the Ancestor. As for whether he can succeed… it will depend on fate.”
Yan Jiuchao walked over and said indifferently, “Help the ancestor to the secret room to cultivate first.”
Yu Wan looked at Sikong Ye, whose forehead was black, and nodded. “Okay.” She called Asura over. “You come too.”
Milk Asura and Sikong Ye entered two secret rooms under the Chaoyang Hall respectively. The tied-up peak Level Five Asura King was finally useful.
