80: Kill Zeng Shouchun
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Zeng Shouchen arrived at Yang Lingchen's residence.
“Grandfather, why do you have time to visit your grandson today?” Yang Lingchen hurriedly bowed and said.
“Grandfather is preparing to go out for two days, so I came to see you. How have you been these past two days?” Zeng Shouchen said with a smile on his face.
“Qingyun, why haven't you poured tea for Grandfather yet?” Yang Lingchen commanded.
“Yes, husband.” Xiao Qingyun responded respectfully and then withdrew.
“Haha... good, Jieer truly has means.” Zeng Shouchen laughed heartily. Seeing his grandson train Xiao Qingyun to be so obedient and submissive, his heart was full of pride.
Just then, Xiao Qingyun walked in steadily carrying tea. She bowed and said, “Grandfather, please have some tea.”
Zeng Shouchen brought the tea to his lips, sniffed it lightly, then took a cautious sip and praised, “Good tea.”
“Grandfather, if you like it, come and drink it often in the future,” Yang Lingchen said with a smile.
At the same time, the immortal demon sword inside Yang Lingchen's Vast Heaven Jade was already poised and ready. As soon as Zeng Shouchen showed signs of poisoning, he was prepared to strike.
“Ten.”
“Nine.”
“Eight.”
“Seven.”
...Yang Lingchen counted silently in his heart.
“One.”
When he counted to one in his heart, Zeng Shouchen finally showed signs of poisoning.
“Pfft... bitch, how dare you poison this seat!”
Zeng Shouchen spat out a mouthful of poisonous blood, and his entire body slumped powerlessly into the chair.
“Grandfather, are you alright?” Yang Lingchen hurriedly walked over and supported Zeng Shouchen.
“Ah... Jieer, Grandfather is about to die. The poison has already entered my marrow. This poison is far too overbearing. Quickly, kill this woman!”
Zeng Shouchen said with difficulty. At this time, his face was covered in a black mist, clearly showing that the poison had taken deep root.
“bitch, how dare you harm my grandfather! Die!”
As soon as Yang Lingchen finished speaking, he slammed a palm straight into Zeng Shouchen's back with great force.
“Pfft...”
“Jieer, you...”
Zeng Shouchen sprayed several mouthfuls of fresh blood, looking at Yang Lingchen with a face full of disbelief.
“Old thing, look at who I am?” Yang Lingchen sneered and restored his original appearance.
“Pfft... Little Bastard, so it was you. Even if I die, I will take you with me!”
Zeng Shouchen lunged toward Yang Lingchen desperately.
Just then, Xiao Qingyun, behind him, suddenly struck another palm onto the center of Zeng Shouchen's back.
“Bang!”
Zeng Shouchen was instantly sent flying backward.
Poisoned and hit by two consecutive palms, Zeng Shouchen had completely lost his combat capability, and the aura on his body was gradually weakening.
At this moment, Yang Lingchen rushed over and began to perform the Soul Searching Technique. He pressed his right hand directly onto the top of Zeng Shouchen's head, and a steady stream of memories was instantly copied over.
After a long time, Zeng Shouchen finally breathed his last and stopped breathing.
Yang Lingchen sat cross-legged and began to digest the memories in his mind.
Next, he would have to face Holy Revered Master Wang Yuyan. This woman's strength far exceeded Zeng Shouchen's, so he had to be extremely cautious.
About fifteen minutes later, Yang Lingchen finally fully fused the memories in his mind. Then, with a flicker of his figure, he transformed into the appearance of Zeng Shouchen.
At this time, he also took the Storage Ring from Zeng Shouchen's body.
As the Grand Elder of the Wuji Holy Land, the resources inside Zeng Shouchen's Storage Ring were incredibly abundant.
With these resources, Yang Lingchen was confident that he could Breakthrough his cultivation level to the sixth level of the Gui Xuan Realm in a short time.
“Yang Lingchen, what do we do next?” Xiao Qingyun asked in a soft voice.
“Cultivate first! We'll make plans after our cultivation levels are raised,” Yang Lingchen said in a low voice, frowning.
Through Zeng Shouchen's memories, Yang Lingchen knew that the Heavenly Prison where Xiao Zaishan was imprisoned was filled with experts; it would not be an exaggeration to call it a dragon's pool or a tiger's den. Therefore, to rescue Xiao Zaishan, he had to plan carefully and wait for the right opportunity.
In the following days, the two began a period of frantic cultivation.
Ten days passed in a flash.
After ten days of cultivation, Yang Lingchen finally reached the critical moment of Breakthrough. As long as he broke through this stage, he could reach the sixth level of the Gui Xuan Realm.
At this moment, he gritted his teeth and fully mobilized all his Profound Energy, frantically washing through the Profound Veins in his body.
“Boom...”
“Sixth level of the Gui Xuan Realm.”
At this moment, Yang Lingchen finally successfully broke through to the sixth level of the Gui Xuan Realm.
During this time, Xiao Qingyun also broke through to the sixth level of the Spiritual Profound Realm.
The Cultivation Technique she practiced did not have high resource requirements; as long as Yang Lingchen 'paid his dues' more often, it was more effective than any resource.
On this day, under Wang Yuyan's summons, Yang Lingchen arrived at the Holy Master's Hall.
“Grand Elder, has there been anything unusual about Xiao Qingyun lately?” Wang Yuyan's beautiful eyes turned as she looked coldly at Zeng Shouchen and asked.
“Reporting to the Holy Revered Master, this subordinate monitors her every day and has not found any abnormalities for the time being.”
Yang Lingchen said with cupped hands and a bow, while secretly remaining on guard.
After all, Wang Yuyan's strength was at the Peak of the ninth level of the Spiritual Profound Realm. Any slight oversight could lead to his death without a burial place.
“Continue monitoring. Report any abnormalities to This Holy Master immediately,” Wang Yuyan said in a cold voice.
“Yes, Holy Revered Master,” Yang Lingchen said with a bow.
At this moment, he was secretly shocked. Through his observation just now, he realized that his current self was far from being a match for Wang Yuyan.
Even with a sneak attack, it would be impossible to harm Wang Yuyan in the slightest, and he might even end up losing his own life.
“You should know Xiao Zaishan very well, right?” Wang Yuyan asked.
“Replying to the Holy Revered Master, this subordinate has dealt with him for many years and has a fairly deep understanding of him,” Yang Lingchen said with his head lowered.
“This Holy Master will give you three days. You must find out the whereabouts of the heavenly martial divine pearl, or face the consequences.” A sharp light shot from Wang Yuyan's eyes.
“Yes, Holy Revered Master,” Yang Lingchen responded.
“This is my token. With this token, you can freely enter and exit the Heavenly Prison to interrogate Xiao Zaishan.” Wang Yuyan threw a golden token to Yang Lingchen.
“Rest assured, Holy Revered Master, this subordinate will definitely find out the whereabouts of the heavenly martial divine pearl,” Yang Lingchen responded, then withdrew.
At this moment, he was incredibly excited. He finally had the chance to come into contact with Xiao Zaishan.
Returning to Zeng Shouchen's residence, Yang Lingchen told Xiao Qingyun what had just happened.
“You mean you can now freely enter and exit the Heavenly Prison?” Xiao Qingyun said excitedly, hugging Yang Lingchen's arm.
“Yes, Wang Yuyan only gave me three days, so we must rescue Revered Master within these three days,” Yang Lingchen said in a low voice.
“Then what are your plans?” Xiao Qingyun asked eagerly.
“We move tonight. You come with me; I'll apply makeup for you now,” Yang Lingchen said.
His plan was to have Xiao Qingyun Disguise herself as his guard and go together to save him.
Then, Yang Lingchen began to Disguise Xiao Qingyun with makeup.
At dusk.
Yang Lingchen led the disguised Xiao Qingyun toward the Heavenly Prison of the Wuji Holy Land.
With Wang Yuyan's token in hand, the two entered the Heavenly Prison without any hindrance.
“This seat is here by order of the Holy Revered Master to interrogate the important prisoner Xiao Zaishan. All of you, get out!” Yang Lingchen said coldly.
“Yes, Grand Elder.”
The guards watching the Heavenly Prison responded and then withdrew.
