Chapter 1388: Chapter 1388: Ding Dong, the Black-Hearted Apothecary Appears! 47
In the book given to her by Su Gu, it only mentioned a unique key.
But it didn’t say what the key was.
It’s better to leave Little Red here.
In the end, Little Red reluctantly stayed.
Su Yan was taken to Canghong Hall.
The grand hall, with large white doors.
It looked cold and indifferent.
Yet, the detailed intricacies like the inlaid Luminous Pearls and the delicate carvings on the pillars all hinted at the opulence of Canghong Hall.
Su Yan stood below the steps.
On those steps sat dozens of people.
Each one with an immortal demeanor, appearing as cultivation masters of deep Dao Lineage.
The leader flicked his sleeve.
"Are you Su Yan??"
"Yes, I am."
"Our sect’s treasure, the Jade Ice Heart Ring was stolen, did you know?"
Su Yan shook her head.
"Just returned, I didn’t know."
"What have you been doing?"
"Attending the Demon Extermination Conference."
"Those who went with you have already returned, why have you returned so late?"
"Recuperating."
With each question, Su Yan answered.
She was earnest and straightforward.
In contrast, the person sitting atop grew impatient.
"Presumptuous! The Jade Ice Heart Ring must be stolen by you.
Confess quickly where you hid it, to spare your life from severe punishment."
Su Yan shook her head.
"It wasn’t me."
The questioning continued, one after another.
Time swiftly passed by two hours.
On the other side, not long after Su Yan left, someone entered the room.
It was Lin Rou.
Lin Rou wore black clothes, and her eyes lacked the certainty they had when they first met.
Pushing the door open and entering the room, she watched Feng Xuan who was coughing incessantly.
She didn’t speak.
She only cut her wrist.
Drip, drip, fresh blood flowed on the ground.
Immediately, a stench of blood filled the air.
Feng Xuan lifted his head and looked at Lin Rou.
This blood, when smelled by the Ancient Beasts, was truly fragrant.
It became clear why the Taotie would follow this woman out of the seal to work for her.
Lin Rou spoke.
"Come with me, I can help you escape the seal."
Feng Xuan lowered his eyelids.
"Oh?"
The voice slowly faded.
Lin Rou spoke again.
"You don’t believe me? I know where the key to unseal you is, and only I can save you."
Feng Xuan’s eyes were pitch-black, his fingertips touched the rim of the cup.
"Who said I wanted to break the seal?"
Lin Rou smiled.
"Don’t tell me, you wish to live your life shackled, neither human nor ghost."
Feng Xuan raised his arm.
The chains clashed with the table, making a sound.
He remembered Su Yan.
He thought, this Ancient Beast shouldn’t leave the broken chain person for more than two hours, it was really unreasonable.
It should be changed to one hour.
This way, he could meet his master now.
Because with these chains, the master accommodated him, indulged him.
Everything was up to him.
Knowing he couldn’t leave her, she’d rush back within two hours.
How wonderful.
This way, he would never have to part from the master.
Utterly delighted.
Instead, he didn’t want to break the chains anymore.
Lin Rou saw he remained unmoved.
She stepped closer, step by step.
Blood spread all around.
She did it intentionally.
She wanted to lure him away.
All because of that woman, disrupting her entire plan.
If not, she would have already commanded the righteous people.
Who would have thought, one misstep leads to another.
Now, after doing so much, she was back at the start.
For this, she needed to reclaim Qiongqi.
Relying on him to create a new world for her, helping her become the Cangqiong Venerate.
