Realizing it was a talisman communication from the missing Ye Zhen, Jian Qianxiong nearly jumped up in shock.
However, the composure of those in high positions allowed him to suppress his excitent, but even so, when he saw the content of the talisman, he couldn’t help but shiver all over!
A shiver of excitent!
"I already know the entire plan of the Stars Tower tonight, and I have clues about Qingyue’s whereabouts. Help buy so ti, and also retract the search personnel of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect to avoid alerting the enemy....."
This was part of the content in Ye Zhen’s talisman communication, yet it gave Jian Qianxiong a feeling of relief.
Although there was still no news about Fengh Qingyue, at least there was a lead!
In his life, Jian Qianxiong felt most indebted to this daughter!
Relaxation briefly flashed in the corner of his eyes, but a painful and heavy expression quickly overtook Jian Qianxiong’s face as he slowly asked in an excruciatingly painful tone, "What will it take to let my daughter co back, na your conditions!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Wuji, who was sipping tea with his head lowered, suddenly looked up, a faint hint of joy appeared on his weathered face, "What, Sect Leader Jian has co to terms?"
With a long sigh, Jian Qianxiong said, "So things, once lost, can never return...." His painful expression was nothing like soone who had just received a ssage from Ye Zhen.
Probably even Ye Zhen would marvel at the depth of Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong’s strategic mind?
He could probably win an acting award for this.
What followed was naturally a tense and grueling bargaining session, with Jian Qianxiong’s serious deanor, Yan Wuji also fully concentrated on dealing with it.
Similarly, thousands of miles away, Ye Zhen’s expression tightened to the extre at this mont!
It’s worth ntioning that Ye Zhen was quite lucky, as Yan Ping’s role in this operation was significant enough—just by soul-searching Yan Ping, Ye Zhen obtained the crucial intel he needed.
One must say, the Stars Tower operates with impeccable precision!
Upon discovering Fengh Qingyue had been captured alive, Ye Zhen’s first reaction was to rush to the Branch Tower of Stars Tower in Qinglan Martial City to rescue her. Under normal circumstances, after capturing Fengh Qingyue alive, she would be taken to the Branch Tower for imprisonnt.
However, the eting point obtained from Yan Ping’s mory was another extrely secretive location.
An inconspicuous little cave in the Lanshan Mountains, more than four hundred miles from the Lanshan Bamboo Sea, ford a triangle with their action points at Qingping River and Bamboo Sea.
Honestly, if it weren’t for obtaining this gathering point from Yan Ping’s mory, Ye Zhen might not even find Fengh Qingyue, despite slaughtering the Branch Tower of Stars Tower!
At this mont, Ye Zhen was awkwardly navigating through the mountain body, slowly advancing, bruised all over, while closely monitoring the activities inside the cave through his extended Divine Sense via Earth Spiritual Power!
The entrance to this cave was small, only a few ters in size, with vines entwined, but the internal space was rather vast, spanning a thousand ters in size.
Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense imdiately discovered the captured Fengh Qingyue, bound tightly by a strange gray-black rope, unable to move an inch.
Her body was covered in blood, her left shoulder was unnaturally sunken, likely shattered, and a still-fresh trace of blood hung from the corner of her mouth, indicating she hadn’t been here long.
Her eyes could still move, indicating Fengh Qingyue was alive, but her breath was very weak, suggesting severe injuries.
It must have been a fierce battle when she was captured!
There were six martial artists in the cave at this ti—one Fourth Stage Establishnt King ditating to heal, and another Second Stage Establishnt King who had lost an arm.
The other four were strong practitioners from the Fifth to Seventh Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, with two corpses lying on the ground!
However, what was considered normal were those, the most bizarre was a human-snake-shaped monster coiled in a corner of the cave, hissing with a long tongue, its blood-red eyes unwaveringly fixating on Fengh Qingyue, emitting an extrely vile aura!
Why call it a monster rather than a mber of the Demon Race.
Ye Zhen had seen demon races before, even half-human, half-demon, and their every trace seed natural!
But this human-snake-shaped monster appeared incredibly awkward; it had a long snake’s tail with two supporting feet beneath.
The blue-black muscles coiled around its legs, flowing with a black light, revealing imnse strength, yet those feet unmistakably looked human!
Looking upward, it possessed legs far thicker than humans, adorned with blue-black scale armor, and humanoid albeit sowhat serpentine facial features.
Just a glance at such a monster made Ye Zhen feel as if a chill was coursing through his entire body!
Moreover, among everyone present, this monster was the only existence Ye Zhen could not see through, the only one he feared.
According to Ye Zhen’s initial plan, he would rush in directly, eliminate the guards, and rescue Fengh Qingyue!
But the formation at the entrance and this monster made Ye Zhen abandon that idea.
The formation at the entrance was a defensive Guardian Light Screen, which Ye Zhen could burn through with Earth Vein Heavenly Fire in just a mont, but a mont was enough ti for those inside to do many things.
They could kill Fengh Qingyue or use her to threaten Ye Zhen!
Most importantly, Ye Zhen had a gut feeling that if he lost so control, the human-snake-shaped monster inside would kill Fengh Qingyue first thing!
Therefore, Ye Zhen could only choose to infiltrate, rescue Fengh Qingyue first, and then do other things!
Unfortunately, this mountain cave is quite complicated in structure, and the surrounding soil and stones unexpectedly contain a large amount of tal ores, hindering Ye Zhen’s earth escape speed!
This forces Ye Zhen to move forward bumpily within the earthen chamber, avoiding those tal ores, and slowly inching towards the center of the cave.
Fortunately, the tal ores here are not too dense; otherwise, Ye Zhen would be in real trouble.
As Ye Zhen slowly progresses underground, a middle-aged martial artist missing an arm is pacing back and forth in the cave, filled with rage.
With each step, he glares at Feng Qingyue, his gaze wishing to shred Feng Qingyue into pieces!
He glares fiercely at Feng Qingyue, then at the two broken corpses on the ground, and his anger intensifies with each look.
After taking over a hundred steps, the middle-aged martial artist suddenly roars and charges at Feng Qingyue, "I can’t hold back, I must avenge Old Eighteenth and the others!
I want to make this little **** suffer worse than death, to be in unbearable pain!"
Amidst his furious shout, the middle-aged martial artist swung his wide sleeve, and baby-fist-sized ants fell from his sleeve, swarming towards Feng Qingyue.
Though Feng Qingyue’s gaze was extrely cold, seeing these ants rushing towards him, he was shocked and couldn’t help but shrink his foot.
In his astonishnt, Ye Zhen grew desperately anxious, almost wanting to rush into the cave imdiately to save him.
At that mont, Yan Shuning, the Fourth Stage Establishnt King, suddenly opened his eyes and struck out a palm, the Gale Wind directly sweeping the mid-aged martial artist Yan Guo, who had only Sixth Stage Vein Forging cultivation, into the air.
But amazingly, before this Gale Wind, the densely packed ants the size of baby fists simply passed through it, going straight towards Feng Qingyue.
"Yin Wind Devouring Spirit Ants!"
This scene finally made Ye Zhen recognize the origin of these ghostly things, which were one of the tens of thousands of strange beasts and treasures from the Martial Arts inheritance of Earth Core Fire Commander.
Nad Yin Wind Devouring Spirit Ants, they specifically break Spiritual Gang, in front of these Yin Wind Devouring Spirit Ants, not only the Establishnt King, even the protective spirit power of Dao Entrance Realm entities is ineffective.
A single bite can break the opponent’s protective spirit force.
Moreover, their bodies contain a strange poison, once bitten, it becos unbearably itchy, causing a person to involuntarily scratch their own skin, the more they scratch, the itchier it gets, the itchier, the more they scratch.
Even if it’s blood and flesh flowing, exposing white bones, causing terrifying screams, the bitten ones can’t stop the urge to scratch, ultimately scratching themselves alive to death!
Extre cruelty!
It was once one of the brutal punishnts used by major forces in Ancient Tis to punish traitors.
The worst part is, once bitten and poisoned, it’s almost incurable!
Bitten by a few Yin Wind Devouring Spirit Ants, perhaps after enduring so pain, one can barely survive, but once the number exceeds a certain point, death is inevitable, and the death would be extrely miserable!
"Put away these ghost things imdiately, or this old man will burn them with fire!" Yan Shuning roared at Yan Guo.
Flas are the nesis of these Yin Wind Devouring Spirit Ants!
"Why are you protecting him? This ** killed Eighteenth Brother and Yan Cheng! Eighteenth Brother, who battled life and death with us for over forty years!" Yan Guo roared in anger.
A fiery blaze suddenly appeared in Yan Shuning’s palm, pointing directly at the Yin Wind Devouring Spirit Ants about to reach Feng Qingyue, "Imdiately, or I’ll burn it clean with this fla!"
Seeing the fire, Yan Guo froze, and after releasing a burst of Talisman Light, those Yin Wind Devouring Spirit Ants imdiately recoiled, and in the next mont, Yan Guo threw himself before a corpse in agony!
From Yan Ping’s mories, Ye Zhen learned that Old Eighteenth was another Second Stage Establishnt King in the team dealing with Feng Qingyue.
He was probably killed by Feng Qingyue!
Looking at the mourning Yan Guo, Yan Shuning sighed deeply, got up, walked to Yan Guo’s side, gently patted Yan Guo’s shoulder, and said, "Guo’er, I know you were close to Old Eighteenth, but who would have thought this ** with only Seventh Stage Vein Forging cultivation would be so formidable.
Even injured this old man!
I understand you want to avenge Old Eighteenth, but this ** is currently very important, she’s a crucial bargaining chip for the Third Elder! With her, the subsequent plans can proceed step by step!
So, for now, you cannot harm her!"
Yan Guo suddenly lifted his head, angrily said, "So, in the end, we’re letting her go, how do we avenge Old Eighteenth then?"
"Letting her go?"
Yan Shuning’s lips curled into a sinister smile, and he coldly laughed, "Yan Guo, when has our Stars Tower beco so easy to talk to? Stealing our territory, killing our people, and thinking everything returns back to normal?
Do you think we’re bringing the Human Snake along just for a stroll?"
Yan Guo’s expression suddenly shifted, showing a hint of joy, "Are you saying, Uncle Twelve?"
Yan Shuning patted Yan Guo’s shoulder, saying, "Boy, wait, after tonight, you can handle her however you wish.....
"Is that so?" Ye Zhen’s cold sneer suddenly echoed! (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for recomndation tickets and monthly tickets at Qidian, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read at m.qidian.)
