If the people in the dark forest of the Three Heavens were here, they would certainly be surprised to find that the golden Yan Ba in the purple crystal jade bottle was exactly the same as the glittering Yan Ba that was revolving around Tan Tan's body.
It was almost dawn. Diwu Qing Rou slowly walked to the window and opened it. He breathed in the morning breeze with an indifferent expression on his face.
He stood in the wind for a long time. Then, he finally turned around and took the Purple Crystal Jade Bottle from the desk. He put it in his bosom and walked out.
It wasn't long before Diwu Qing Rou's handsome and carefree silhouette appeared outside a small hidden courtyard. This place was obviously heavily guarded to the extreme.
Diwu Qing Rou showed a command token. The guards silently retreated and made way for him.
Diwu Qing Rou walked in and showed another token. This time, a secret passage was opened.
Diwu Qing Rou showed a total of four different tokens. Then, he finally arrived in front of a secret chamber.
Four old men in white were meditating in front of the secret chamber with their eyes slightly closed.
One of them heard the noise and slowly opened his eyes. Suddenly, two beams of golden light shot out. He frowned when he saw Diwu Qing Rou. He said, "Diwu clan's Qing Rou? Why are you here again? "
The other three did not say a word. They closed their eyes like clay sculptures.
"Qing Rou came to see that person. I need to confirm something." Diwu Qing Rou bowed respectfully.
"Confirm something?" That old man in white asked.
"Yes." Diwu Qing Rou said, "The pill that was refined according to the law has already exploded."
"Oh?!" The four old men in white opened their eyes at the same time. "In other words … that thing is a success?"
Diwu Qing Rou took out the jade bottle and flashed it in his palm. He smiled warmly and said, "If that person's words are true, it should be a success."
The four old men looked at the glittering Purple Crystal Jade Bottle. They could not help but look at each other. Although they tried to be calm, they could see the surprise in each other's eyes.
"Go in." One of the old men in white said casually.
Wu Qing Rou lowered his head, and a profound look flashed through his eyes. 'Success' and 'success' … are they the same?
The door of the secret chamber creaked open. Diwu Qing Rou waited quietly until there was enough space for one person to enter. Then he walked in calmly.
The four white-robed old men outside all had their eyes closed. When Diwu Qing Rou entered and the door closed, they all opened their eyes at the same time and looked at each other with a complicated expression.
"What a pity." The white-robed elder let out a deep sigh.
"It is indeed a pity." The other three nodded simultaneously.
"Great Elder thinks highly of Diwu Qing Rou. It's not without reason." The white-robed old man said in a soft voice, "This is an elder of the Three Stars Divine Clan. The Zhuge Clan has been in high spirits ever since this news spread among the upper echelons of the clan. Even the Patriarch's face was slightly red as he waited for the door to open. When he entered, he quickened his pace. Moreover, the door hasn't opened yet, and they all crowded around it. "
"But Diwu Qing Rou just waited quietly. I observed him carefully. He came three times, and his expression didn't change at all." The white-robed elder sighed, "You can see the whole leopard from a single spot. You can truly judge a person by looking at the smallest details. Diwu Qing Rou's mental fortitude and heart … among the younger generation of the Zhuge clan … there are very few who can compare to him. "
"That's right. It's indeed a pity. Why isn't he a member of the Zhuge Clan … "Another white-robed old man said softly," But fortunately, Diwu Qing Rou is still very loyal to the clan as a retainer. "
The white-robed elder's eyes flashed. He said in a deep voice, "If not, how could I have allowed him to live until now?"
The four closed their eyes at the same time.
Diwu Qing Rou entered the secret chamber. There was a long passage in front of him. This passage was glittering on all sides. It was made of hard black iron.
The entire passage was like a long iron coffin.
Diwu Qing Rou walked forward unhurriedly. After turning a corner, he finally arrived at a spacious secret chamber.
The door of the secret chamber was five feet wide. It was glittering with bright starlight. It was made of star steel!
Inside the door was a person covered in blood. His four limbs, including his cervical vertebrae, were abnormally bent. His head was deeply lowered, as if he was already dead. However, almost every joint on his body was penetrated by the chains made of Star Steel, and was firmly locked … With such tight security and such cruel chains, it was easy to imagine how important this person was to the Zhuge Clan!
Diwu Qing Rou stood in front of the door for a long time. That person didn't move at all.
Diwu Qing Rou's eyes flashed with admiration. He gently knocked on the door of the star steel prison and said indifferently, "Third Elder, have you thought it through?"
The joints in that person's neck issued a 'kacha' sound. He slowly raised his head, and looked at Diwu Qing Rou. His eyes flashed with an eager and longing light. However, his voice was cold and cruel, "Your Zhuge Clan … is playing with fire. You're courting death!"
Diwu Qing Rou wasn't angry. He said indifferently, "Third Elder, our Zhuge Clan is one of the ruling clans of the Heavenly Layer. Moreover, our Zhuge Clan's intelligence and martial arts are second to none. The cooperation between the Divine Clan and us is mutually beneficial. I don't understand why Third Elder is so persistent. "
The Third Elder snorted and said weakly, "Our Three Stars Divine Clan would rather be the slave of a dragon than be friends with a dog!"
"You have ambition!" Diwu Qing Rou's eyes flashed with admiration. He said, "It's a pity that your Divine Clan has no hope now! Your hope has been extinguished! "
The Third Elder's entire body shook. His eyes suddenly flashed. The sun mark on his forehead was also shining. This was clearly the sign of an extremely excited god. However, he still shouted in anger, "You … what have you done?!"
Diwu Qing Rou chuckled and said, "Let's ask Third Elder to know. Then, you can give up and be at ease. I've already accomplished that matter."
His words were still extremely gentle and warm. There was no change from before. It was still the same as before, and it was still the same as before.
However, the Third Elder suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed as if he had put down something in his heart. Then, he lowered his head. His entire body was slightly trembling.
He could tell that Diwu Qing Rou was trying to make him give up. However, he was the only one who could understand the other meaning behind his words!
You can give up and be at ease. That is … you can be at ease.
I've already accomplished that matter. It's not … we've already accomplished this matter.
There was one less "we".
The Third Elder's body was curled up on the ground. He was trembling violently. The few strands of firewood on the ground were also rustling. His breathing was heavy like a bellows. If someone else had seen this, they would've thought that he was trembling in anger and sighing in despair.
However, only Diwu Qing Rou knew that the Third Elder was actually moved. Pleasantly surprised!
"What proof do you have?!" The Third Elder suddenly prostrated himself on the ground and shouted in a hoarse voice, "What proof do you have to prove this sentence?!"
"Proof?" Diwu Qing Rou said casually, "I naturally have proof. However, Chuan … Third Elder, what will you give us in exchange for this proof?"
The Third Elder gasped for breath and said, "If you can produce proof, this old man will have nothing to say!"
Diwu Qing Rou smiled and said, "You only have nothing to say. You still need to give an explanation to our Zhuge Clan!"
The Third Elder took a deep breath and said, "You can rest assured. As long as you have proof, I'll give you an explanation!"
Diwu Qing Rou smiled and said, "If that's the case … Little Elder spoke with a drawn-out voice. It seemed as if he was trying to sell him off. However, it also seemed as if he was waiting for something.
A white-robed old man who was sitting cross-legged in a distant place on the upper floor finally smiled with satisfaction. In front of him was a Red Cloud Steel pipe that was as thin as a strand of hair. The conversation between the two people below could be heard clearly from this pipe.
Then, he flicked his finger, and a gust of wind rose outside.
The white-robed old man's body gently floated up like a cloud. He sat cross-legged like this. Then, he floated out like floating clouds and flowing water. His figure disappeared in a flash.
He felt relieved.
Diwu Qing Rou and the Third Elder's words weren't out of the ordinary. They were fighting for the Zhuge Clan's interests. Moreover, they were squeezing the enemy's bottom line.
He also believed that the overall situation had already been decided since the matter had reached this point. Even if the Third Elder didn't cooperate, he and the others could've used the awakened one of the three days to lay a trap and lure the other people here!
The Three Stars Divine Clan would've been divided if that had happened. And, there would've been someone who would've cooperated with the Zhuge Clan.
It would've been enough as long as there was someone … even if it was only a little!
That Red Cloud Steel pipe suddenly shrank into the ground after he had flown out. And, there wasn't even a trace of it left behind.
Diwu Qing Rou was still waiting in the barbarian room.
Suddenly, there were three gentle knocks on the outside. Then, there was no sound.
Diwu Qing Rou gently smiled. He paced around and said, "Third Elder, look at my hand. What's this?"
He flipped his hand as he said this, and a purple jade bottle appeared.
The moment he took it out, the gold-like liquid inside started to emit a bright light in this gloomy prison. It illuminated this secret room which was made of all kinds of strange metals. And, it looked splendid.
The Third Elder suddenly raised his head. He looked at the golden light in a daze. Then, two drops of tears slowly flowed down from his eyes.
He stared blankly for a long time. Then, he suddenly burst into tears in a hoarse voice!
Diwu Qing Rou looked at him calmly. He didn't say a word. But, there was deep understanding in his eyes.
After a long time, Diwu Qing Rou softly said, "Third Elder, don't forget your promise."
Then, he turned around and slowly walked out. When he reached the door, he looked back and said, "We'll meet again someday."
The Third Elder was sitting facing the wall. Hearing this, he quietly replied, "It's a promise!"
After the foreign gathering, my schedule will be arranged. I won't be going home for the time being. A friend introduced me to a very famous old doctor. It is said that he has treated many of the local leaders. And, it's very effective. I'll go and treat him. I heard that after the treatment, he needs to lie down for one and a half to two days. He can't move his waist. So, I'll try my best to finish the two days' worth of manuscripts. If I don't update by then, I'll call the Deputy Moderator and ask him to help me ask for leave in the book review section.
And, I'll be back home after the 22nd. I'll tell you in advance … "
(Before this, other than the Spring Festival, I had never updated like this. I'm not feeling good about this. I only hope to recover as soon as possible. Even the Gods will not remove the root of this illness. I only hope to be able to relax a little so that I can make more money for everyone. Of course, it's also for myself.
I hope all of you can understand me. No one will reject money. An extra chapter is an extra chapter's worth of money. Especially for me … I've been poor before … "Yifei …"
Other than that, Feng Yu looks at the monthly votes, recommendation votes, and ratings. He wants to cry but has no tears.
No matter what the reason is, the truth is that I don't update much. So, I won't force it. I only hope all of you can support me when I update more. I used to be a reader, and I understand all of you. I just hope all of you can understand me, even if it's just a little.
Maybe I will do it. When all of you finish reading this book, you will see the real me, including my temperament. I hope all of you can be my friends.
