Chapter 18: Yao Ergou
In the Spiritual Medicine Garden of Cuixia Peak, Ye Hao successfully found the last 400 kinds of spiritual medicine and flew back to Wuyue Peak on his flying magical instrument.
Cui Xia Peak, the peak of Cui Xia, stood at the top, with Cui Xia Zhenren and a beautiful woman standing shoulder to shoulder, gazing at Ye Hao's figure disappearing into the misty fog.
"Cui Xia, have you found out the true identity of this leaf?" The beautiful woman asked, her eyebrows showing a hint of anxiety.
"Not yet, this child is indeed mysterious, able to slap the three-layered fetal movement medicine garden manager flying with one palm. His actual cultivation is not what he shows, only... I couldn't see through him. However, he shouldn't have any ill intentions towards Cui Cui, you don't need to worry too much. Moreover, in these two months, Cui Cui has made noticeable progress while being with him." said Master Cuixia.
"Although that's the case, Xuanxuan is still young and naive, easily deceived by others. Lately, I've noticed that when she's alone, she often stares blankly into space, with an expression that suggests she has some unusual thoughts about this person, only she hasn't realized it herself." The beautiful woman said worriedly, after all, Xuanxuan is her only daughter, and naturally, she treasures her more than anything.
This beautiful woman is Mo Xuanxuan's mother, Bei Xiaohui. She and Cui Xiaren have been close friends since childhood, so when they meet in private, they call each other by name.
"Xiao Hui, if this child walks the right path, Qianqian that little girl will follow him and it won't be a bad thing." said Cui Xia Zhenren, she didn't have any sectarian views and wasn't against her disciples talking about love.
"Never mind, it's still too early to talk about this. Maybe I'm just being paranoid. By the way, I heard that the Sect Master of the Lotus Sect, Qianjin Xiaoqinglian, is coming to our Yunxia Sect soon?" asked Beixiaohui.
"Not bad, Xiao Qinglian has the talent of a genius, I heard that she is now at the peak of the 9th layer of the Foundation Building stage and it's highly likely that she will break through to the Golden Core stage within these two years. Obviously, the Lotus Sect is preparing to cultivate her as the next sect master, her representing the Lotus Sect in visiting various sects is actually laying the foundation for her to take over the Lotus Sect, also representing a kind of implicit declaration from the Lotus Sect." Cui Xia Zhenren mentioned Xiao Qinglian and couldn't help but feel a bit envious, if the Yunxia Sect could produce such an extraordinary talent that would be great.
"I heard she's only twenty years old, and I don't know what kind of spiritual vein she has, but her cultivation speed is really frighteningly fast." Bei Xiao Hui said.
"The Lotus Sect has always refused to reveal it, and it seems that it's absolutely not simple." said Zui Xia True Person.
……
……
"That little brat has brought the Night Moon True Person's token, and you still dare to move your hands and feet? You're courting death! Send over the spiritual medicine that the Night Moon True Person needs. As for how the Night Moon True Person will deal with you, this true person can't be bothered." Han Hai True Person said with a gloomy face, not expecting this guy to be so foolish, it seems he's useless now.
"Master, save me! I don't want to die!" The medicine garden manager knelt on the ground, begging with a pale face.
"Get out, do as I say, or you know what the consequences will be." The True Person of the Vast Ocean turned his back on him and didn't bother with him again.
……
……
At night, Jin Yangfeng's Lingyao Garden's Yao Guanshi came to Wuyue Peak with a gloomy face. He had already made preparations for his own death and disappearance, but in his heart, there was a strong sense of unwillingness.
At first, in order to find a backer, he joined the Hanhai True Man's sect, and even his family in the secular world was controlled, but he absolutely did not think that in the end, it would lead to such consequences. When the Hanhai True Man abandoned him, he didn't even bat an eye, and basically didn't consider him a person at all.
Yao Guanshi gazed at the misty peak of Foguang Temple, where the elegant buildings were hidden among the lush greenery, his expression changing.
Run away?
But where can he escape to? The world is so big, yet there's no place for him to hide, and must he really sacrifice his family in the mortal world?
Just as Yao was struggling with his conscience, a whistle came from behind him.
As soon as he turned his head, Yao Guan Shi saw Ye Hao smiling at him.
Ye Hao nodded at Yao Guan Shi and turned around to leave.
Yao Guanshi's heart skipped a beat, and he quietly followed after him without making a sound.
Under the thousand-year-old cypress tree in Ye Hao's cultivation place, Ye Hao sat down with a plop.
"What's your name?" Ye Hao asked lightly, and his body, which had just seemed ordinary and unremarkable, suddenly emitted a captivating aura of power.
Yao's mind was greatly shocked, under this aura, his soul felt a sharp pain. This was not the gap between their strengths, but a kind of innate aura, mixed with a bloody and violent air, it was unknown how many people would have to be killed for it to be so intense.
"Yao... Yao Er Gou..." Yao Guan Shi almost subconsciously replied.
"Yao Ergou, haha, good name, you're a bit stupid, but absolutely a good dog that bites, it's just that you've followed the wrong master." Ye Hao smiled lightly, his aura retracted, as if he had never appeared at all.
Yao's management was like a rainstorm, his whole body was already soaked through, this kind of power, even the True Man of the Vast Ocean had never possessed.
At that moment, Yao Guan Shi seemed to see a glimmer of hope. He "thudded" down on his knees and said in a hoarse voice: "Er Gou is willing to be a dog under Master's feet, but Er Gou and the family members are all controlled by Han Hai Zhen Ren."
"Alright, you don't need to try anymore. The hidden poison in your blood will be taken care of by Master Ye himself. However, as a dog of Master Ye, the most important thing is loyalty. Can you do that?" Ye Hao raised an eyebrow, his tone calm and collected. Indeed, he lacked a loyal dog by his side. If he had cultivated his own power during his time in the Secret Realm of Huanghai, things wouldn't have turned out so dire for him. Now, he needed to make some changes.
Yao Erdou was so excited that he kept nodding his head, saying: "Erdou can do it, Master let Erdou bite whoever he wants to bite, let Erdou bite hands, Erdou dare not bite feet."
"Alright, let's talk about Han Hai's true identity then." Ye Hao revealed a hint of a smile.
Yao Erdou poured out all the beans he knew, and it turned out that Hanhai Zhenren had done quite a few bad things behind his back.
Moreover, Ye Hao drew two conclusions from some details.
Firstly, Han Hai Zhen Ren surprisingly had been secretly instructing Cui Xia Zhen Ren's disciples all along. He had bribed several of Cui Xia Zhen Ren's followers and ordered them to do something, but Yao Er Gou was unaware of what exactly they were told to do, only that it definitely wouldn't be anything good.
Secondly, Han Hai's true intention in helping Wang Tong wholeheartedly is to get an ancient painting that was passed down from his grandfather.
Ye Hao pondered for a long time before slowly saying, "Bring the spiritual medicine. You should stay in the cave at the foot of the cliff first. Wait until I, Ye Dage, help Night Moon True Person refine this furnace of elixir, and then come to expel the hidden poison from your blood."
"Yes, master." Yao Erdou replied respectfully, not daring to raise any objections.
Ye Hao nodded in satisfaction, looked at the sky and saw that it was almost time for his appointment with Han Ye, so he drove his flying magic tool to Dan Temple.
