Chapter 42: Zhao Chuan
This time the Green Willow Island project cost nearly eight million taels of silver, leaving Yao Jiao to sigh once again. Cultivation is indeed a money-burning endeavor.
Fortunately, I have a career, otherwise, it's unknown when I would reach my current situation.
There's still half a year left, heading to Da Bei Temple. During this period, the demon horn has been constantly cultivating. It's obvious that it's impossible to become a top martial artist in a short period of time, but daily cultivation must continue.
The second Cangshan and others left, that night, Yaojiao used the spiritual spring.
In the past at midnight, Yao Jiao's cultivation was always quiet meditation, but this time he sat in the spiritual spring.
The entire body was soaked in it, and the speed of absorbing spiritual energy was more than ten times faster than before.
At the time of Yaojiao's cultivation, he was surprised to find that perhaps, relying on this spiritual spring, within half a year, he might really be able to reach the level of a top-notch martial artist. Because the state of being a top-notch martial artist was something Yaojiao had experienced in his past life, there wouldn't be any bottleneck issues, as long as the pure and true energy accumulated inside him.
At midnight, after practicing for an hour by the spiritual spring, he got up and dried his body with a towel beside him, slowly putting on his pajamas.
The demon horn slowly came out of the practice room, and suddenly heard a muffled sound coming from outside.
The demon's horn echoed with sound, and when he looked in that direction, it was within his own array of ten thousand willows.
It's midnight, how can there be someone in the midst of the vast willow forest?
Next to the training room, Jian Wu also opened the door of his house. Apparently, he had also heard the muffled sound from outside.
"Old Master." Jian Wu looked at Yao Jiao with some concern.
"Hmm, someone has entered the Wanliu Formation, it could be an outsider or one of those servants." Youjiao furrowed his brow and said.
"What shall we do, sir?" Jian Wu asked anxiously.
"The person inside the formation, obviously only made a sound when he was trying to break through, that means he can't get out yet. Since he can't get out, then don't bother with him, let's go to sleep." Yaoguang said to Jianwu.
"Huh?" Jian Wu was taken aback.
"No matter who it is, let's tire him out for a night first. At this late hour, sleep is more important." The demon-faced man smiled slyly and pulled the sword dance into the bedroom, closing the door behind him with a flick of his hand.

The next morning, when the demon woke up, he found that Sword Dance had gotten out of bed again. He could only put on his clothes himself, wash his face and go out.
In the courtyard, Jian Wu was continuously practicing sword dance. Seeing Yao Jiao wake up, he immediately stopped and went to greet her.
"Old Master" shouted Sword Dance.
"Let's have breakfast," said Youjiao.
"Old Master, what about the people in the Wanliu Great Formation?" asked Sword Dance on horseback.
"That person? Still hasn't made a sound till now, since we don't know who it is, let's starve him for a few days first." Yao Jiao said casually. And together with Jian Wu, they headed towards the dining hall.
"In the morning, those servants said that one person was missing. I thought that among the ten thousand willows, there should be a servant," Jian Wu said.
"Huh?" The demon's horn said strangely.
"That servant is called 'Zhao Chuan', he's in charge of gardening on the island." Jian Wu said.
"Hmm, I've already instructed before, without your permission, no one is allowed to enter the Wanliu Array. Since he dared to disobey my orders, this person is clearly not ordinary. The huge muffled sound last night, at the very least, was from a first-rate martial artist. This matter is quite strange. You immediately send someone to the Second Family and ask about my uncle's situation." said Yaojiao.
"Hmm" Sword Dance nodded and turned around to make arrangements.
"Alright, let's eat breakfast first." The demon king immediately called back Jian Wu and they went to have their meal together.
"Oh" Sword Dance nodded and followed Demon Horn to have breakfast together.
The servant made arrangements and by afternoon a lower-ranking servant brought over a letter from Second Master Cang.
Jianwu was practicing swordplay at all times, in the afternoon, Jianwu was practicing swordplay in the courtyard, while Yaojiao was lazily lying on a recliner, holding the letter from the Second Cangshan.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
You'er, Zhao Chuan is a person who has been cultivated by the family since childhood, and he was specially sent by the master to protect you. He is a top martial artist, but unexpectedly got trapped in your Wanliu Great Array. Since the array is so powerful, I can rest assured now.
Zhao Zuan is a trustworthy person, you can release him without any worries. He has no intention of harming you.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
Upon seeing this, the demon king also realized he had been fooled. He turned around and jumped up.
Jian Wu saw the demon's horn rise up and also stopped his cultivation.
"Go and pick up Zhao Chuan," said Yao Jiao.
"Hmm?" Jian Wu was somewhat puzzled, but still nodded immediately.
Then, the demon king took his sword dance and walked out of the courtyard, heading towards the Green Willow Island's Wanliu Great Array.
Entering the forest, it didn't take long before finding the person named Zhao Chuan.
At this moment, Zhao Chuan was wearing a nightgown, sitting cross-legged under a willow tree. Not far from Zhao Chuan, there was a black-clad corpse at this moment. The corpse had no major injuries on his body, but the corner of his mouth was stained with fresh blood, clearly having bitten his tongue to death.
When he saw Yao Jiao approaching, Zhao Chuan immediately stood up.
"I've seen Young Master Yaojiao." Zhao said respectfully.
"Are you Zhao Chuan?" asked the demon king.
"It is indeed under our jurisdiction." Zhao said immediately.
"Are you sent by the master of the house to protect me?" asked the demon king once again.
Jian Yao nodded and Zhao Chuan also nodded immediately.
"What's going on?" The demon pointed at the black-robed corpse and asked.
"I report to Young Master, last night, I heard a noise in the woods and came to investigate. I saw this man in black clothes, and when I was about to capture him, I found that he had bitten his tongue and killed himself. It has been confirmed that he is a member of the Mandrake Sect." Zhao said respectfully.
"Oh?" The demon king said in surprise.
At this moment, Jian Wu also walked forward, and indeed, on the wrist of this man in black, a mandala flower was pierced.
"When the subordinate wanted to go back, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have gotten lost and couldn't get out anymore." Zhao Chuan said with a respectful face. At this moment, Zhao Chuan also knew why the demon corner flower was built at such a great cost in this willow forest.
"Hmm, don't wander into this willow forest again. As for the corpse, find a willow tree and bury it under the tree as fertilizer." said the demon horn.
"Yes," Zhao replied immediately.
At this moment, the demon king furrowed his brow, unexpectedly being targeted by Mandala, this was not good news. At the same time, the demon king would be even more cautious in the future.
"Alright, next time if there are any more Mandala cultists who break in and get stuck for a while, Xian Wu will bring you in. At that time, we'll quietly take care of him, and then bury his body under a different willow tree. When burying, keep it far away from the buildings on the island, best to choose a willow tree near the lake." said Yao Jiao.
"Huh? Yes?" Zhao Chuan said very respectfully, but he didn't know what this young master was trying to get at.
Yao Jiao did this, but it was by using these Mandala Cult corpses. Increasing the yin energy of the Wan Liu Great Array.
