In Town Gold City, the most spacious mansion had always been a topic that people talked about.
Many people talked about it, but not many people really knew the special identity of the mansion's owner.
At night, Yu Wuchang sat leisurely on a rattan chair. He closed his eyes to rest. When he thought about Wei Zongjin's bright eyes when he left, his heart jumped up and down, and he was still a little uneasy.
Wei Zongjin was indeed not present when he and Jin Zhanzheng made the deal. Nevertheless, given the person's intelligence, even if he did not see it with his own eyes, he could make some guesses.
Yu Wuchang sighed. He knew that all of this was the result of his paranoia, and there was a high chance that he was scaring himself.
Having said that, lending out the 5 Elements Reincarnation Art was definitely a huge risk for him.
If the elders in the imperial family found out …
He dared not continue to think about it.
Before the imperial family of Great Shen became famous, they still passed down benevolence and righteousness, and they would often leave a way out for the disciples in the family who violated the rules. Ever since they gained the world, there was an obvious change in their style of doing things. The 5 Elements Reincarnation Art was the most important ancient book in the imperial family, so Yu Wuchang was sure that when the news was leaked, the imperial family would send people to kill him.
Nevertheless, when he reached out to touch his chest, his face changed unpredictably.
The Jia Huang Pill — this might be his biggest reliance for his last attempt to break through to become a Venerable One. As long as he could advance to become a Venerable One, his identity and status would change completely. By then, even if the matter was found out, there would be some room for negotiation.
Having said that, even Yu Wuchang was not absolutely sure if he could fulfill his long-cherished wish during this trip to the Crying Ghost Ridge.
His previous 2 failures had forced him to a dead end. If that was not the case, he would not have made the choice to make the exchange.
Just as his heart was in a mess, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be a breathing sound beside him.
His face changed drastically, and he opened his eyes abruptly. He instantly saw a masked person beside the rattan chair that he was sitting on.
Yu Wu Chang's pupils shrank to a point, his heart filled with shock and despair. He did not know when the person approached him.
However, the moment he saw that person, Yu Wuchang had already launched a counterattack. It was as if a spring had been installed on his back, and he suddenly bounced up. At the same time, his arms turned into a series of phantoms. It was as if his arms had turned into tens of thousands of arms in an instant, and they were all aimed at his opponent's head.
However, he immediately realized that his attack had no effect at all. His opponent seemed to have suddenly turned into a marionette, swaying back and forth with his movements.
But from the beginning to the end, the distance between them was maintained within a foot, not the slightest bit more and not the slightest bit less.
Yu Wuchang suddenly withdrew his hand and let out a long sigh. At least on the surface, he seemed to have relaxed.
Taking a step back, Yu Wuchang clasped his hands and said, "Who are you, sir? Since you've been following us around like a shadow, could it be that you're one of the chief elders from the Council of Elders?"
Although he was flattering and his attitude was humble, he did not relax at all.
The masked man snorted and slowly took off the mask on his head, revealing a face full of vicissitudes.
Yu Wuchang's face changed drastically upon seeing this person's face. As if he had seen a ghost, he took a few steps back and stammered, "No, impossible …"
The masked man said in a deep voice, "Nothing is impossible in this world. You, on the other hand, have been stationed here for nearly a hundred years and participated in the Crying Ghost Ridge twice, but you still haven't broken through to the Venerable One realm. That truly disappoints me. "
Yu Wuchang opened his mouth, and his face turned green and red. In the end, he said, "Grand Elder Li, 50 years ago, I heard that you …"
Seeing his hesitation, Grand Elder Li smiled disdainfully, "Back then, I was careless and offended the Liuli Cave Master of Southern Border. If he hadn't faked his death to avoid the world, who could have saved I's life if he had come in person?"
Yu Wuchang paused for a moment and finally understood.
However, when he heard about the Liuli Cave Master of Southern Border, he couldn't help but turn pale. He really didn't understand why Grand Elder Li would provoke such a powerhouse.
Grand Elder Li put on his mask again and said, "Grand Elder wants me to ask you, how is your observation of He Yiming?"
Yu Wuchang was startled and hesitantly asked, "Grand Elder Li, why did His Excellency Grand Elder put you in charge of this matter?"
Grand Elder Li chuckled, but there was no humor in his words, "Do you want to know the reason?"
Sweat immediately appeared on Yu Wuchang's forehead, but he clenched his teeth and nodded.
Grand Elder Li snorted, "Your talent is only so-so, but your willpower is not bad. No wonder you can persevere here."
Yu Wuchang smiled bitterly and respectfully said, "Grand Elder Li, this junior's talent is indeed inferior to others. If I couldn't persevere, what good would I have?"
Grand Elder Li sneered. It was unknown whether he was mocking him or not. However, he said unhurriedly, "Grand Elder means that He Yiming not only cultivates the five elements, but also has the Five Element Ring. If we can win him over to the empire, he will play a pivotal role in the empire's grand plans."
Yu Wuchang nodded, "Grand Elder Li is right. I didn't expect someone to be able to successfully replicate the Five Element Ring. I just don't know how powerful it is."
Grand Elder Li said with a spurious smile, "Even if a replica Five Element Ring is inferior to a real divine tool, it is still far superior to an ordinary Divine Soldier's weapon. What, do you want to fight him? "
Yu Wuchang waved his hand and hastily said, "Grand Elder Li must be joking. This one cultivates a lineage of the five elements. Once I encounter the Five Element Ring, I will be completely restrained. I won't even be able to display half of my strength. How can I possibly win?
Grand Elder Li snorted in dissatisfaction, "It's best if He Yiming agrees. However, if he continues to persist in going about things the wrong way, then …" He stopped speaking and a cold smile appeared on his face.
Yu Wu Chang shuddered, and several thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.
Suddenly, a perfect opportunity to kill someone with a borrowed knife appeared in his mind.
He Yiming was the only one who had seen the secret manual he had carried with him for two hundred years. If this person suddenly died in battle, then wouldn't the matter of him exchanging for pills and secret manuals forever remain a secret?
Even if Jin Zhanzheng broke the contract and spread the news everywhere, no one would be able to catch him without any evidence.
Yu Wuchang's expression became increasingly solemn. In Grand Elder Li's eyes, Yu Wuchang was seriously considering his problem. However, he didn't expect that Yu Wuchang's mind was filled with completely different content.
Yu Wuchang slowly raised his head. His eyes were already clear and didn't seem to carry the slightest peculiarity.
Grand Elder Li nodded, very satisfied with his reaction.
He coughed softly and said, "What do you think? Do you have a chance?"
Yu Wuchang shook his head seriously and said, "Grand Elder Li, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. He Yiming and Jin Zhanzheng from the Divine Wind Palace are like brothers. If I'm not wrong, as long as he succeeds in becoming a Venerable One, the Divine Wind Palace will definitely do their best to recruit him as a guest Venerable One. "
"Guest Venerable One …" Grand Elder Li's eyes suddenly flashed with resentment, as if he had recalled something from his dusty memories.
Yu Wuchang had been secretly paying attention to the old man's reaction. At this moment, he relaxed. The rumors from the past should be true. The old man originally wanted to join the Divine Wind Palace, but because of a certain incident, he ended up joining the imperial family of the Great Shen Dynasty. However, he was still brooding over what happened in the past, especially the guest elders of the Divine Wind Palace. He had an inexplicable hatred for them.
Grand Elder Li nodded deeply and said, "I understand what you mean. Just pretend that I've never been here."
With that, his figure swayed slightly, and he crashed into the wooden house. However, the moment he crashed into the wooden house, not only did he not make any sound, but he also disappeared without a trace.
A trace of envy flashed across Yu Wuchang's eyes. This was a powerful ability that only Venerables could possess.
Although he was only one step away from becoming a Venerable One, it was this step that could no longer be made up for.
Looking at the front line in the distance, a dark tide surged in his heart. He Yiming and Jin Zhanzheng, these two great future troubles, it would be best if they were all wiped out this time …

In Bloody Massacre City, a gray vulture descended from the sky and flew into a mansion.
Fang Cheng stretched out his hand and beckoned, and the vulture seemed to understand human nature and came to his side.
He reached out to untie an object tied to the vulture's leg and took out a roll of paper. After glancing at it, his expression changed slightly.
Zhu Guanhao asked in a deep voice, "Brother Fang, what did the old patriarch say?"
Fang Cheng smiled bitterly and placed the roll of paper on the table. He answered, "The old patriarch wants us to secretly provide information to someone. If the situation permits, we'll have to assist them. Of course, we can't make a move before we're absolutely confident. "
"Who?" Hao Xue asked coldly.
An unnatural look flashed across Fang Cheng's eyes. He answered, "Assassins from the Netherworld Sect."
Zhu Guanhao sneered and pulled up the roll of paper on the table to read as he remarked, "Jin Zhanzheng's name has been on the Netherworld List for more than 10 years. Look, isn't he living well now? It's simply impossible for the Netherworld Sect to assassinate the 2 of them …"
He suddenly stopped, and when he raised his head, his eyes were filled with surprise. Subsequently, he looked at Zhu Guanhao with an inquiring look.
Zhu Guanhao nodded at him and smiled bitterly. "You're right. The Netherworld Sect sent Venerable Ones this time. They've made up their minds to kill the 2 people who rose like comets at the same time. "
Hao Xue's eyes flashed with a trace of blood. He picked up the roll of paper and read it carefully. He put it down and said coldly, "Kill them first. He Yiming!"
At the same time, in the distant western camp, a fat old man appeared. Behind him, a group of people followed respectfully, including Tatamu and Danny.
The old man looked into the distance with a gloomy face and a murderous look in his eyes … (To be continued, if you want to know what happened next, please go to www.qidian.com to read more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
