“Why don’t… we go to the Sang Manor and snatch Little Rakshasa’s blood core back?” Shadow Six said.
“Who’s going to snatch it? Are you going or should I go?” Qing Yan glanced at Yan Jiuchao and Sikong Ye, who were using the Longevity Technique to nourish Little Rakshasa’s body. If it weren’t for the fact that they could not leave the two Rakshasas, they would have long killed their way to the Sang Manor. Did they really think these two men were good people?
Qing Yan continued, “How can they not think of a way that you can think of?
Isn’t there no other choice? Although the Sang family doesn’t have the Blood Rakshasa, they still have many high-level Asura Kings. Other than Jiuchao and the Ancestor, no one is their match.”
This was not because they were underestimating themselves. The Sang family had planned for this day for too long and had long secretly refined countless experts. They might be able to defeat one or two, but if a group or two came, they would not be able to withstand it.
Yes, that must be it! His Little Jiuchao did not let them snatch the little Rakshasa’s blood core for their safety!
Yu Wan vaguely felt that that was not the case. Yan Jiuchao could go and snatch the blood core back, but… he did not do so.
Yan Jiuchao was forcing the Rakshasa King to give up his blood core. Even her great-grandfather was the same.
Little Rakshasa could live, but… the Rakshasa King had to die!
Aren’t the two of them moved by the Rakshasa King’s sacrifice?
However, if she obeyed the change in her heart, it was very likely that she would suffer the consequences of the Rakshasa King massacring the Nether Capital. This was not because the Rakshasa King wanted to turn bad, but an instinct that was already engraved in his bones.
Yu Wan could not help but sigh. From the beginning to the end, she was the only one who was soft-hearted. These two men were really terrifyingly rational and calm.
Shadow Thirteen quickly understood his Young Master’s intentions and said indifferently, “The most important thing now is their injuries. Grandma, Doctor Cui, is there anything we can do?”
“Yes.” Old Cui nodded. He made a list and drew a few herbs. “You can’t buy them from the herbal medicine shop. Go into the Nether Mountain to pick them. Remember, you have to pick them before dark.”
“So much.” Shadow Six looked at the long list and immediately felt a headache coming on!
Grandma paused and also made a prescription. “Bring the Ten Thousand Gu
King and find these Gu worms.”
They could not use human blood as medicine, so they could only use Gu worms as substitutes.
Qing Yan and Yue Gou entered the Nether Mountain to search for herbs. Shadow Six and Sikong Changfeng, who had rushed over after hearing the news, brought the Ten Thousand Gu King to search for Gu worms. Shadow Thirteen stayed behind to guard the Chaoyang Hall.
Master Sang had just done a big job. Logically speaking, he wouldn’t come back with a surprise attack, but it was better to be careful than sorry. It wasn’t wrong to be cautious.
The commotion in the Nether Mountain was huge, and Master Sikong had also received the news. It was fine if it was Little Rakshasa, but when he heard that Old Ancestor actually wanted to save the Sang Family’s Rakshasa King, he revealed a puzzled expression. “Is the news reliable? Old Ancestor… really wants to save Sang Qiuhan?”
The guard cupped his hands and said, ‘Yes, Master. The entire Chaoyang Hall knows. Princely Heir Yan’s men and the disciples of the Chaoyang Hall have already entered the Nether Mountain to search for Gu worms and herbs.”
Master Sikong coughed heavily. He had been injured by the Rakshasa King and had exhausted all his internal energy to save Sikong Changfeng. It would probably be difficult for him to recover in this lifetime. No one knew how much he hated the Rakshasa King.
“Master…” The guard saw that Master Sikong’s expression was not right and asked boldly, “Do you want me to…” He did not finish his sentence and only gestured.
Countless conflicts appeared in Master Sikong’s eyes. “Where’s the eldest young master?” He asked.
The guard said, “Eldest Young Master also went to help find Gu worms and herbs.”
“He almost died at the hands of the Rakshasa King. Is he helping to save that guy now? Even if he doesn’t care about himself, has he forgotten that his father was crippled by the Rakshasa King?!” Master Sikong was so angry that he coughed for a long time, feeling like he was about to cough out his lungs. “Master!” The guard quickly served a cup of hot tea. “Calm down.”
Master Sikong pushed the tea away and gritted his teeth. “A grown man can’t be kept!”
“Then… Master…” The guard revealed a meaningful look for the second time.
Now that the Chaoyang Hall was in chaos and the Rakshasa King’s fate was unknown, killing him was easier than killing an ant. The guard knelt on one knee. “Master, as long as you agree, I’ll do it immediately! After I kill the Rakshasa King, I’ll immediately take poison and commit suicide. I won’t implicate you! ”
Master Sikong was silent.
The guard continued, “The Rakshasa King is heinous. If we can’t get rid of him today, when he recovers in the future, the entire Nether Capital will fall into endless disaster! As a member of the royal family of the Nether Capital, the Sikong family should take it upon themselves to protect the safety of the people of the Nether Capital. Even if you don’t avenge yourself, you should clear the hidden danger for the people of the Nether Capital! Master! Give the order!”
Master Sikong gripped his cup tightly.
When the guard saw that the master was silent, he thought that he was worried that he would not be able to do it. He swore, “I won’t fail! The Chaoyang Hall trusts the Sikong family very much now. There are many of our guards there to begin with. I only said that it’s to deliver medicine to the Rakshasa King. We will succeed!”
Thanks to the Rakshasa King, Master Sikong had lost all his martial arts and many experts of the Sikong family had died. Even if he didn’t become the City Lord of the Nether Capital, he shouldn’t have let him off.
Master Sikong took a deep breath and closed his eyes. “You can leave.”
The guard was stunned. “Master?”
Master Sikong put down his hand dejectedly. “If I do this, what’s the difference between me and Sang Zhonghua? Since he’s someone the Ancestor wants to save, I can’t touch him. In the future, if he causes trouble or brings disaster to the Nether Capital, my Sikong family will think of a way to get rid of him!”
The guard hesitated. “But…”
Master Sikong said seriously, “It’s my Sikong family’s responsibility to protect the Nether Capital. The ancestor is also a member of the Sikong family. Since he dared to save him today, I don’t think he’s afraid that he won’t be able to kill him in the future. I believe in the ancestor.”
In the evening, the two groups of people who went to look for herbs and Gu worms returned to the Chaoyang Hall. Old Cui took the herbs to the pill room while Grandma brought the Gu worms back to his room.
The Rakshasa King and Little Rakshasa had already been brought to the secret room by Sikong Ye and Yan Jiuchao. For the entire day, the two of them did not stop using the Longevity Technique to infuse internal energy into them.
Yu Wan asked the kitchen to make two bowls of ginseng soup and planned to send it to them. Just as she left the small kitchen, she bumped into three little black eggs waiting at the door.
“Where’s Little Brother?” Xiaobao asked.
When Yan Jiuchao carried Little Rakshasa back to the courtyard, they saw him. However, when they put on their clothes and went to Grandpa Cui’s room, their father and brother were gone.
“Little Brother… is asleep,” Yu Wan said with a smile.
“Then can he wake up?” Er’bao asked.
Of course, those who were asleep would wake up. The reason why they asked was probably because they had long sensed that their brother had not only fallen asleep.
Yu Wan held the tray in one hand and patted their heads with the other. “What do you think?”
Xiaobao said seriously, “Of course, he will! Little Brother will definitely wake up! We, we, we… we even left good food for Little Brother!”
Er’bao and Dabao pulled open their pockets, revealing the candy that they had been hiding for several days.
“Stealing candy again.” Yu Wan hugged them.
Yu Wan went to the secret room to deliver a bowl of ginseng soup. She was not sure what happened after that. Old Cui did not ask her to help, so she could only wait in the room. She watched as pots of blood were brought out and bowls of medicine were served. She leaned against the table and took a nap. When she woke up, it was already dawn.
The morning light on the horizon was golden and dazzling. She opened the door and subconsciously raised her hand to block it. When she adapted to this light, she walked towards the secret room.
Qing Yan and the others worked all night and all of them guarded outside the secret room with haggard expressions.
“How is it?” Yu Wan asked.
“I don’t know.” Qing Yan sighed. “Yue Gou, I, and the disciples of the Chaoyang Hall were all thrown out. Shadow Six is inside.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Shadow Six came out with a pair of huge dark circles.
“How is it?” This time, it was Qing Yan who couldn’t wait to ask.
“Go take a look yourself,” Shadow Six said with reddened eyes.
Qing Yan grabbed his arm tightly. “You… Why do you have such an expression? Didn’t you save him?”
Shadow Six choked and shook his head. He ignored Qing Yan and returned to his room.
Yu Wan and Qing Yan entered the secret room. The secret room was filled with the thick smell of blood. The Rakshasa King and Little Rakshasa were lying quietly on the stone platform while Sikong Ye sat at the side with a pale face.
Yan Jiuchao was carefully putting on Little Rakshasa’s clothes.
Old Cui and Grandma were so tired that they sat on the ground, unable to get up.
Yu Wan glanced at everyone. “What… is going on? Shadow Six’s eyes are so red. Did you not save him?”
The Rakshasa King on the stone platform slowly opened his eyes. Yu Wan’s almond-shaped eyes widened.
Qing Yan also widened his eyes. “He… he’s still alive… Then the young…”
Didn’t he use the blood core to save Little Rakshasa? Was Shadow Six crying because Little Rakshasa was dead?
He also wanted to cry!!!
The Rakshasa King’s reaction was not much better than Qing Yan’s. After confirming that he was still alive, he looked at Little Rakshasa in Yan Jiuchao’s arms in horror. Just as he was about to let out a despairing and miserable wail, Old Cui said weakly, “Don’t scream. I’ve… given it your Blood Core…”
The Rakshasa King was stunned at first. He touched his dantian and was even more surprised.
Old Cui said, “Yes, that’s right. You also have a blood core.”
Yu Wan asked in confusion, “Old Cui, what’s going on?”
Old Cui snorted. “Ask your great-grandfather. I thought he was so heartless. At the critical moment, I only dug out half of his blood core.”
“Does Little Rakshasa only have half a blood core in his body?” Yu Wan asked.
“Of course not, ” Old Cui said as he glanced at the pale Sikong Ye. “Your great grandfather dug out half of his inner core and gave it to Little Rakshasa..”
