78: Xiao Qingyun's Wedding

Time flashed by to the seventh day.

On this day, Wang Yuyan came to the Alchemy room again.

The moment she stepped into the Alchemy room, her delicate brows couldn't help but furrow, because she keenly sensed that there wasn't even a trace of medicinal fragrance in the room.

Even if Alchemy failed, there should at least be some lingering medicinal fragrance.

But now, not a shred of fragrance was emanating from the giant cauldron before her; this was truly illogical.

"Has anyone come here in these seven days?" Wang Yuyan's voice was bone-chillingly cold.

"Reporting to the Holy Master, we have been guarding it the whole time, and no one has approached the cauldron." Qiuju hurriedly replied with a bow, her voice tinged with nervousness.

Wang Yuyan quickly walked to the giant cauldron and, without hesitation, flipped open the lid.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Just at this moment, dozens of explosive poison pills shot toward her at high speed.

Facing this sudden situation, Wang Yuyan reacted quickly and immediately dodged backward.

"Boom, rumble, boom, rumble."

A huge explosion sounded, and instantly, poisonous smoke filled the air, shrouding the entire Alchemy room in mist.

In this chaos, Yang Lingchen's figure instantly rushed out of the giant cauldron and darted toward the window at high speed.

"Where do you think you're going!" Wang Yuyan shouted angrily, her figure chasing after Yang Lingchen like a ghost.

However, by the time she rushed out the window, Yang Lingchen's shadow was already gone.

"Ahhhh..."

"You destroyed my Spirit Medicine; I will tear you into ten thousand pieces."

At this moment, Wang Yuyan was furious to the extreme, her beautiful face twisted with ferocity.

These were Spirit Medicine she had spent over a decade collecting! To think they were destroyed just like that by Yang Lingchen.

At this moment, Wang Yuyan had only one thought in her mind, and that was to kill Yang Lingchen.

Immediately, she issued an order to search for Yang Lingchen's tracks with full force.

Meanwhile, Yang Lingchen had already transformed into a young man with a refined temperament.

Just a moment ago, he had killed a Core Disciple of the Holy Land, used the Soul Searching Technique to obtain the other party's memories, and then used Shadow Shifting to take on his appearance.

Through the memories, Yang Lingchen knew that this person was named Yang Li, twenty years old, a Core Disciple of the Wuji Holy Land, and also the son-in-law of the Grand Elder.

"That old woman is truly terrifying; luckily, I ran fast."

Only at this moment did Yang Lingchen breathe a long sigh of relief, his tense nerves finally relaxing a bit.

The next step was to find out news about Xiao Zaishan; as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would try his best to save him, otherwise, his conscience would not be at ease.

"Yang Li, you bastard, where the hell have you been lately? Don't you want to come home?"

Just then, a fierce voice rang out, and a sturdy woman walked over.

The person who arrived was Yang Li's wife, Zeng Xiaoyan.

"Cough, cough... W-Wife." Yang Lingchen stammered, completely dumbfounded.

"You deadbeat, staying away from home all day; if I don't drain you dry today, I'll take your last name!" After finishing, Zeng Xiaoyan grabbed Yang Lingchen and dragged him toward home without a word.

"Oh my god, you've got to be kidding me?"

Yang Lingchen looked helpless; he had no other choice but to follow Zeng Xiaoyan, as resisting now would surely expose his identity.

Before long, Yang Lingchen was brought by Zeng Xiaoyan to a secluded courtyard.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Yang Lingchen was dragged into a room by Zeng Xiaoyan.

"W-Wife, a couple of days ago... I... I was injured outside, so it's not convenient right now. Can you let me rest for a few days? Once I've recovered, I'll properly reward you, how about that?"

Yang Lingchen was startled by Zeng Xiaoyan's predatory gaze, his speech becoming stuttering.

"Stop making damn excuses to me. So what if you're injured? Just lie there; you don't need to move, I'll do the moving."

After saying this, Zeng Xiaoyan pounced on Yang Lingchen like a starving tiger, her sturdy body pressing straight onto him.

"Bang..."

In desperation, Yang Lingchen struck the back of Zeng Xiaoyan's head with his palm, and she immediately fainted.

Yang Lingchen took out a stupefying pill and fed it to her; with this pill, she would sleep for another half a month.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen actually felt a bit of sympathy for Yang Li; if it weren't for having such a fierce woman at home, he wouldn't have been drinking outside for days, afraid to return home.

Ten days flashed by, and on this day, Yang Lingchen finally heard news about Xiao Qingyun.

That was, in three days, Wang Yuyan would personally preside over the wedding of Xiao Qingyun and Zeng Wenjie.

And Zeng Wenjie was the Grand Elder's most outstanding grandson, with strength at the second layer of the Spiritual Profound Realm.

"Damn you, Wang Yuyan, you're trying to cuckold me!"

Yang Lingchen took a deep breath, trying hard to calm his angry emotions, and then walked toward Zeng Wenjie's residence.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen already had a plan: kill Zeng Wenjie, and then transform into Zeng Wenjie's appearance.

Fortunately, Yang Li and Zeng Wenjie's relationship was decent, and Yang Li was even Zeng Wenjie's Uncle-in-law.

According to Yang Li's memories, Yang Lingchen soon found Zeng Wenjie's residence.

"Haha... Congratulations, Wenjie!" Yang Lingchen said with a smile.

"What brings Uncle-in-law here?" Zeng Wenjie responded with a smile.

"Wenjie, I heard the Holy Master personally betrothed Xiao Qingyun to you; it's truly the envy of others!" Yang Lingchen said with a smile, his face showing no signs of anything unusual.

"The Holy Master only bestowed Xiao Qingyun upon me because of Grandfather. When I think of Xiao Qingyun's enchanting body, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back when the time comes!"

Zeng Wenjie laughed lewdly, his expression as disgusting as it could be.

"Wenjie, you don't need to worry about that. I've brought you a special medicine. As long as you take it, I guarantee you'll have that little hussy Xiao Qingyun begging for mercy on her knees."

At this time, Yang Lingchen took out a few Soul-Loss Powders, tossed them over, and said with a smile: "This is something Uncle-in-law spent a lot of money to buy. Your aunt was so worn out by me last night that she still can't get up."

"Is this medicine really that potent?" Zeng Wenjie's eyes lit up, revealing a greedy expression.

"If you don't believe me, try one. If it weren't for the fact that you're getting married, Uncle-in-law wouldn't be willing to give you such a good thing." Yang Lingchen said with a smile, a trace of imperceptible cunning flashing in his eyes.

"Fine, then I'll take one now to try it out, and then go find Ruhua." Zeng Wenjie took one directly and swallowed it.

Seeing Zeng Wenjie swallow it, Yang Lingchen was finally relieved. Although he could easily kill the other party, for safety's sake, he chose to use poison.

"Ah... Uncle-in-law... you..."

Just then, Zeng Wenjie began to foam at the mouth and roll his eyes.

Yang Lingchen quickly pressed his index finger against his forehead, then performed the Soul Searching Technique to copy all his memories into his own mind.

After the memory copy was successful, Yang Lingchen directly stored his corpse into the haotian jade space and then transformed into Zeng Wenjie's appearance.

Over the next few days, Yang Lingchen kept studying Zeng Wenjie's memories; he didn't want any mistakes to happen, otherwise, he would end up dead with no place to be buried.

Time flashed by to the day of the grand wedding.

Today, Yang Lingchen was dressed in bright red groom's attire, wearing a jade crown; he looked passable, mainly because Zeng Wenjie was just too average-looking.

"Jieer, have you seen your aunt and Uncle-in-law?" Zeng Shouchen asked.

"Grandfather, I haven't seen them either! Perhaps they were delayed by something," Yang Lingchen said.

"Hmph, what could be more important than your wedding? Those two bastards, just wait until I deal with them later." Zeng Shouchen said angrily, his face looking very unpleasant.

"Grandfather, calm your anger; perhaps they will arrive in a moment," Yang Lingchen comforted.

"Prepare yourself well; it will soon be time to bow to heaven and earth." Zeng Shouchen said.

"Yes, Grandfather." Yang Lingchen replied respectfully.
