Chen Youliang shuddered at the sight of Wei Ruolan's miserable condition. The Beggar Gang had always been well-informed. As a senior member of the Beggar Gang, he had naturally heard of the Life-and-Death Spell. He knew that it was a kind of torture used by Tianshan Tonglao of the Spirit Vulture Palace in the Western Region.
But it was one thing to hear about it, and another to see it with his own eyes. He found that he had underestimated the horror of this hidden weapon. He had seen Wei Ruolan's martial arts before, and he knew that she was an extremely proud person. But after being hit by this hidden weapon, she was rolling on the ground like a dog.
"If he used this thing to control me …" Thinking of the biggest function of the Life-and-Death Spell, Chen Youliang couldn't help but shudder. Now that he thought about it, it was better to take the Three Corpse Brain Elixir or the Leopard Embryo Tendon-Changing Pill. After all, he didn't have to endure such pain before the poison took effect.
At this time, a disciple of the Beggar Gang came to knock on the door. He was still immersed in fear and hadn't fully woken up. He subconsciously replied, "What's Grand Master Huang?"
"Grand Master Huang Rong?" The disciple was also somewhat puzzled. He thought who else could be Grand Master Huang in the Beggar Gang?
"So soon?" Chen Youliang came to his senses and slightly changed his expression. After all, he had just received the news that they had arrived in Lin 'an, but they came so soon. "Several people came."
"In addition to Grand Master Huang, Master Guo also came with them." The disciple replied with a sense of reverence in his tone. After all, Guo Jing and Huang Rong were extremely prestigious in the hearts of the Beggar Gang disciples.
"Young Master, you see …" Chen Youliang looked at Song Qingshu with an embarrassed expression.
Song Qingshu waved his hand and said, "You go to receive them first. I'll come over after dealing with the things here."
"That's good." Chen Youliang could roughly guess the purpose of Huang Rong's trip. He was worried about how to deal with it. Now that he had the support of Song Qingshu, he naturally had more confidence.
Looking at Chen Youliang's departing figure, Song Qingshu appeared to be in a daze. He sighed inwardly, "It's been a few months since we last met. I wonder what it's like now."
However, Wei Ruolan's screams soon interrupted his thoughts. He tried to take out the Life and Death Talisman's antidote. Although this pill could not completely eradicate the Life and Death Talisman, it could alleviate the symptoms of the Life and Death Talisman for a year. The Island Masters and Cave Masters of the thirty-six islands and seventy-two caves worked hard every year just to obtain this antidote.
Song Qingshu looked at him coldly, not intending to stop him.
Wei Ruolan hurriedly stuffed the antidote into his mouth and revealed a grateful smile. However, his smile quickly froze on his face because the pain and itch on his body did not show any signs of relief.
"How is this possible!" Wei Ruolan poured a few more pills into her mouth. Unfortunately, it was still useless.
"I advise you not to waste your efforts." Song Qingshu said lightly, "Your Life and Death Talisman has been modified by me. Your antidote is naturally useless."
It turned out that the nature of the Life and Death Talisman was to use the Yin and Yang Qi of a person. Since Song Qingshu was an expert in this field, he had mixed his Joy True Qi into the Life and Death Talisman. It could be said that it was the Life and Death Talisman 0 version. Wei Ruolan's original version of the Life and Death Talisman could not cure him.
Although the Life and Death Talisman 0 version was more powerful, it had an obvious shortcoming. It did not have the antidote like the first version. Every time, he had to personally suppress the Life and Death Talisman, so it was destined to be used only on a few key people.
Wei Ruolan hurriedly struggled to crawl to Song Qingshu's leg. She pulled his trouser leg and said, "Please, I beg you, help me remove the Life and Death Talisman."
Song Qingshu chuckled. "Are you willing to recognize me as your master now?"
"Yes, yes …" Wei Ruolan's tears flowed down. Her usually proud head was now nodding like garlic.
Only then did Song Qingshu quickly seal a few acupoints in her body. Then, Wei Ruolan felt that the feeling of being unable to live or die gradually faded away. Before she had time to feel happy, Song Qingshu said, "I only temporarily suppressed the Life and Death Talisman in your body. If I continue to suppress it in half a year, it will relapse again. So you should know what to do during this period."
Although Wei Ruolan also knew the way to remove the Life and Death Talisman, Song Qingshu was not worried. After all, to remove the Life and Death Talisman, one must know how much Yin Force and how much Yang Force were used in each acupoint. Only the person who used the Life and Death Talisman knew this. Therefore, even if Wei Ruolan knew the way to remove it, she could not remove it.
"Got it," Wei Ruolan said bitterly.
"Actually, you don't have to be so discouraged," Song Qingshu replied. "I think you know how slim it is to realize your family's wish. But now that you have my help, your wish will be realized sooner or later. You can go back and ask your sister about the specific details."
As the saying goes, show kindness and threaten together. He knew that being oppressive would not make their relationship last, so he had to give Wei Ruolan some benefits.
"Really?" Wei Ruolan was stunned. He had been taught to oppose the Song Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty since he was young. He thought that if he could really complete his family's mission, it would be worth it for him to suffer.
"Are you suspecting me?" Song Qingshu's voice instantly turned cold.
"I don't dare!" Wei Ruolan was shocked and hurriedly bowed his head. He now had a deep fear of the person in front of him.
"Very well, you can go back first. You have been missing for so long. Do you know how to tell the people around you?" Song Qingshu looked at him coldly.
"I won't say anything." Wei Ruolan swallowed his saliva and bid farewell to him again. Then, he left as if he had been pardoned.
Chen Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment as she watched him leave in a sorry state. Finally, she could not help but say, "Prince Song, don't you think it's a little … a little too much for you to bully him like that?"
Song Qingshu smiled slightly. "That's because you don't know how he had harmed me. If I had fallen into his hands, I'm afraid that my fate would have been even more miserable."
"I see." Chen Yuanyuan patted her chest. "You looked so scary just now."
"Then, do you like my usual appearance or my earlier appearance?" Song Qingshu could not help but tease her.
"Of course it's my usual appearance …" As soon as she opened her mouth, Chen Yuanyuan immediately realized the trap in his words. She could not help but pout coquettishly. "You're so annoying …" However, she could not help but compare in her heart. His usual warm and sunny appearance also had a trace of roguish aura that made people feel safer. However, his demonic appearance just now seemed to have another kind of fatal attraction.
Of course, Song Qingshu did not know that his unintentional behavior was in line with the style of a domineering CEO described in some female novels in his previous life. It caused a few strange ripples in the heart of a woman like Chen Yuanyuan, who had been cleansed of all prettiness.
Worried that Chen Youliang would not be able to hold on any longer, Song Qingshu said to Chen Yuanyuan, "Would Madam be willing to come with me to meet that Chief Huang?"
"Although I have been cultivating in seclusion all these years, I have heard about Madam Guo. I have always admired her for being able to become famous all over the world as a woman and gain the admiration of all the men in the world." Although Chen Yuanyuan was smiling on the surface, she was feeling sorry for herself. In fact, wasn't she also famous all over the world? It was just that she was remembered only for her beauty, while Huang Rong was remembered for her chivalrous reputation.
Hearing the words "Madam Guo", Song Qingshu, who was walking in front, sighed inwardly.
"Chen Youliang, don't talk about other things anymore. Where is Chief Shi?" In the meeting hall, Huang Rong was questioning him with her phoenix-like eyes.
Chen Youliang's expression changed slightly. He had no choice but to explain, "Miss Shi believes that she is not capable enough to lead the gang, so she abdicated her position. Now, I am temporarily acting as the gang leader."
"Abdicate her position?" Huang Rong sneered. "The abolition of the gang leader is a big deal. How could she abdicate her position without a sound? I heard that this matter is only known by Elder Chen's small circle of people. Isn't it a little too strange? " She did not address Chen Youliang as "gang leader", but still called him by his previous position. Obviously, she did not admit to this matter.
Seeing her pressing closer, Chen Youliang's heart was filled with hatred. It was not that he did not want to use force, but when he saw Guo Jing sitting in the distance, he could only give up the idea.
Guo Jing's martial arts were matchless, and his "Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms" was famous all over the world. Although he had learned the "Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture", he was afraid that he might not be Guo Jing's match.
If it was before, he might have tried. But not long ago, when he teamed up with his master, Cheng Kun, they suffered a crushing defeat to Song Qingshu. It was a great blow to his self-confidence. He knew that there was always someone better than him in the universe. His confidence had been taken away, so naturally, he did not dare to make a move.
Moreover, Guo Jing and Huang Rong's prestige in the Beggar Clan was too high, so he could not use the Beggar Clan's power to deal with them.
However, Chen Youliang had never been the kind of person who relied on force. He was better at strategy and tricks. Therefore, he calmly replied, "May I ask Chief Huang, when did the position of the Beggar Clan Leader become a hereditary position?"
"Nonsense, of course not." Huang Rong had more or less guessed his plan, but she still had to answer this question. "Each of our Beggar Clan Leaders is a very capable person who can convince the masses. However, the successor must be appointed by the previous Leader."
Chen Youliang laughed mischievously. "Chief Huang," he said, "by saying this, it seems that you are deliberately reversing the order. The previous Leader should first appoint a successor, and then that successor should do some great things for the Beggar Clan. First, he can prove his ability, and second, he can convince the masses."
"But Miss Shi doesn't have the ability, so she can't convince the masses. Just because she is the daughter of the previous Leader, she became the new Leader. This matter does not conform to the Beggar Clan's rules!"
Huang Rong looked at him deeply. She had always heard that this person was a deep schemer and eloquent speaker. Now that she had seen him, he really did live up to his reputation. She knew that Shi Hongshi's succession to the position of Gang Leader was somewhat unjustifiable, so she decisively did not want to tangle with him over this matter. Instead, she immediately changed the topic to Chen Youliang. "Elder Chen, since we're talking about Gang Leader Shi, then let's talk about how Gang Leader Shi was killed. Back then, you colluded with Cheng Kun and killed Gang Leader Shi, yet you still dare to stay in the gang. You really have some guts!"
You really have a lot of guts! "Chen Youliang's expression changed greatly. This was indeed his weak point. Although these years he had eliminated dissidents, vigorously promoted his trusted subordinates, and managed to control the Jiangnan Beggar Clan, there were still many disciples who were dissatisfied with him at the bottom of the Beggar Clan. Now, if Huang Rong took the lead, the resistance that had been suppressed for a long time would erupt.
