In a dark and damp dungeon.
An extremely sorry looking young man with a face full of blood was lying there. His hands were tied behind his back as he stared with a pair of angry, frightened and uneasy eyes.
It was Tang Tian who was caught by Yin Mei at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant.
At this moment, he already knew that he was being schemed against.
Shopkeeper Zhu of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant had already arranged everything from the start. In order to make him feel at ease, he did not hesitate to say so much.
But at that time, he was actually so stupid to not have any suspicions.
Tang Tian did not know what was called an immortal's trap. If he knew, he would definitely shout out loud.
"Yin Mei, I have no enmity with you. Why are you scheming against me?"
Tang Tian stared angrily at the lady in white who was looking at him coldly. He did not hide his hatred.
Before this, he still respected and admired her, calling her the Heavenly Maiden Yin Mei.
"What nonsense are you talking about? At this time, you still don't want to admit it and still want to quibble? "
Yin Mei looked at him coldly. There was no warmth in her beautiful eyes.
"You are slandering me. Everything was arranged by you. That maid and Shopkeeper Zhu were also arranged by you. You just wanted to deal with my sister, that's why you thought of such despicable methods. "
"I want to see my grandfather. Yin Mei, you actually dared to capture me because of a maid …"
At this time, Tang Tian's mind was flexible. He quickly thought through everything.
He thought that Yin Mei was fighting with his sister for something, so she came up with this plan to threaten his sister.
"I don't understand what you are saying."
"You don't want to admit it right? No problem, my Nine Tailed Fox Clan has many methods to deal with people like you. I can help you cut off the lower half of your body. Even if you are a cultivator, you can forget about recovering … "
Yin Mei's expression was still cold. She walked out of the dungeon and said to the guard outside, "Since he doesn't want to admit it, then execute him."
Hearing this, Tang Tian, who was in the dungeon, panicked. "How dare you!"
"Yin Mei, I am the only son of the Tang Clan. If you treat me like this, my grandfather and the rest will not let this go."
If he became something that was neither male nor female in the future, he would definitely go crazy.
Tang Tian did not doubt the truth of Yin Mei's words, the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox really had the means to turn a cultivator into such a person.
"Why won't we let this go? Do you really think that the Tang Family dares to offend the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan? With regards to the long lifespan of a cultivator, will there be any effect to losing your generation? "
Yin Mei sneered and then said in a cold voice, "Do it."
"Yes, Miss."
When the two guards outside of the prison heard this, they immediately walked in with sinister smiles on their faces. In their hands were a pair of huge crocodile-like golden pincers. They started to gesture at Tang Tian.
"Yin Mei, stop …"
"Stop it!"
Seeing this scene, Tang Tian's face suddenly turned white, without a trace of blood, and could not stop trembling.
He didn't expect Yin Mei to actually do this.
He would rather die than become something that was neither male nor female in the future.
This was even more unbearable than directly killing him.
"Do you admit it?"
Yin Mei smiled faintly outside the dungeon. She hugged her nine fluffy snow-white fox tails, looking noble and beautiful.
"I admit … I admit …"
Tang Tian gritted his teeth, his heart filled with hatred for Yin Mei.
He wished he could cut her into a thousand pieces.
In the past, he did not expect this beautiful woman, to actually have a heart of snakes and scorpions.
"Well then, say what you have to say."
Yin Mei smiled, holding a Shadow Recording Stone in her hand.
After a quarter of an hour, she walked out of the prison, to a quiet and secluded mansion.
In the courtyard, a man in white sat there, quietly drinking tea. His facial features were clear and handsome, his black hair draped over his shoulders, exuding a transcendent aura.
It was hard for people to imagine that the various methods in the dungeon were ordered by him.
"Did he admit it?" Gu Changge lifted her eyes to look at Yin Mei, smiling faintly.
"Yes, according to master's instructions, Tang Tian was so scared that he almost peed himself, and admitted everything." Yin Mei smiled sweetly.
She handed the Photostone to Gu Changge, which recorded everything.
"Well done."
Gu Changge nodded, glanced at it, smiled and said, "Then we will prepare the banquet now, and wait for the guests to arrive."
"This Shadow Recording Stone, you prepare one more, and think of a way to pass the rest to the Tang Family."
"En."
Yin Mei nodded, then asked with some suspicion, "Master, what if the Tang Family suddenly panicked? From what I see, Tang Wan is not a stupid person, will she fall for it? "
"She will not fall for it, not only that, she will also tell her grandfather about this. That is why I want you to pass the Shadow Recording Stone to the Tang Family first, as long as the Tang Family is not stupid, they will understand that this matter is not so simple. "
Gu Changge smiled casually, he had already calculated everything, even if Tang Wan had hundreds of tricks, she would not be able to escape in the end.
He was still waiting to give Chu Hao, the Son of Destiny, a surprise.
Now, as he expected, Chu Hao was at the place where the Absolute Yin Calamity broke out, settling the matter of the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix.
How would he have the time to care about his childhood sweetheart?
"I understand, now we will see how the Tang Family and Tang Wan treat Tang Tian."
Yin Mei nodded, she quickly understood Gu Changge's intention.
With Tang Wan's intelligence, she would very likely realize that this was a scheme.
Even if she attended the banquet, she would know that it was a trap.
Therefore, Tang Wan would definitely inform her grandfather in advance, and when the time came to ransom Tang Tian, there would be many powerhouses from the Tang Family with him.
But now, she gave the Shadow Recording Stone of Tang Tian admitting everything to the Tang Family, to let them know that this matter could be easily solved.
This was a matter of attitude, of course, it could also be considered a threat.
After all, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan did not need to be afraid of the Tang Family.
Speaking of which, Tang Tian was a direct descendant of the Tang Family, and Yin Mei's maidservant was far inferior to Tang Tian in terms of status.
If the Tang Family were to be tough, Yin Mei would not be on the side of reason, and the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan behind her would not become enemies with the Tang Family over a mere maidservant.
This was a simple matter of interests.
…
On the other hand, in the Golden Altar Ancient City.
It was not far from the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix.
It was an important ancient city under the Myriad Daos Business Alliance's branch. It was like a throat, a hub that connected all the other ancient cities nearby.
At this moment, in this ancient city, in a quiet and unique courtyard.
A graceful woman in a plain gauze dress was quietly looking at the many jade slips in front of her behind the curtain.
Her face was gentle and charming, and her skin was smooth and fair. At the same time, she was holding a brush in her hand, writing something.
As she wrote, a terrifying phenomenon seemed to appear between heaven and earth, and layers of mysterious power appeared under her brush.
As she waved her hand, words with golden patterns appeared and fell into the jade scrolls in front of her.
Vaguely, one could even see the scenery of mountains and rivers that seemed to have come alive. It was as if they were about to appear from the jade scrolls.
"Miss's painting skills have reached a new level. I'm afraid that the characters that you've drawn can rival Saint Realm cultivators."
The maidservant beside the gentle lady could not help but cover her mouth and laugh when she saw this scene. She looked very impressed.
"So what if I can rival Saint Realm cultivators? Brother Hao is now a Quasi-Supreme. "
"And he's about to break through to the Supreme Realm. Compared to him, I'm so far behind. I really don't know how he cultivated all these years. He's really a monster. But fortunately, I've noticed his brilliance before … "
"Otherwise, I don't know how many heavenly beauties have gathered around him now."
Hearing this, the gentle lady smiled helplessly.
However, when she mentioned Chu Hao, she could not help but look happy and admiring.
She was naturally Tang Wan, who had secretly left the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix with a spatial artifact.
However, considering that Chu Hao was not in a good situation now, she did not go far.
Therefore, she didn't go too far and chose to stay in this ancient city for the time being.
Although this courtyard looked quiet and serene, there were many hidden dangers. There were traces of formation patterns hidden everywhere.
If anyone dared to trespass, they would definitely be killed by the power of the formation patterns. Their body and soul would be destroyed.
Moreover, Tang Wan had arranged many experts from the Commerce Alliance outside. The weakest among them was at the Saint Realm.
She was not worried that someone would come looking for her.
In fact, she did not have to be so worried.
After all, her grandfather was the leader of the Myriad Dao Commerce Alliance's sub-alliance. He was extremely powerful. Who would dare to offend him?
However, Tang Wan had considered many things this time.
The person that Chu Hao had offended was Gu Changge. Tang Wan felt unprecedented pressure from this young man.
Tang Wan did not know why, but she always felt that Gu Changge was not a simple person.
Although he did not make things difficult for Chu Hao in public at that time.
However, she had a premonition that Gu Changge was preparing to deal with Chu Hao.
This was because since she was born, she had a unique talent to seek luck and avoid misfortune.
In the end, she kept thinking about it and deduced the art of seeking luck and avoiding misfortune.
With this talent, Tang Wan was doing well in the Myriad Dao Commerce Alliance.
Those who knew her had to respectfully call her "Miss Wan".
For hundreds of years, this talent had never been wrong.
However, some time ago, Tang Wan used her Divine Mystery Brush to deduce Gu Changge. She was trying to pry into the secrets of heaven.
However, she was unexpectedly affected by the backlash.
This situation made her shocked, horrified, and puzzled, because it had never happened before.
In the end, Tang Wan came to the conclusion that Gu Changge was hiding something horrifying.
For this reason, she did not hesitate to take a huge risk to warn Chu Hao.
Although Chu Hao's current cultivation was at the Quasi-Supreme Realm, and he would soon break through to the Supreme Realm.
However, to the higher-ups of the Commerce Alliance, it was not worth it to offend Gu Changge because of Chu Hao.
Therefore, Tang Wan had to be careful.
All these years, Tang Wan had contributed a lot to the Commerce Alliance.
However, she could not influence the Commerce Alliance's decision at all in a situation where the benefits were at stake.
She did not even dare to tell her grandfather about this. This was because her grandfather looked down on Chu Hao's background.
So what if he was talented? If he did not have a strong background to support him, he would only end up as a chess piece for many orthodoxies.
Unless Chu Hao was powerful enough to establish an imperishable orthodoxy.
"I hope Brother Chu Hao understands my effort. Otherwise, all my efforts will be in vain. He shouldn't have acted rashly back then … In the end, I can only hope that the Taishang Grotto-Heaven will stand by Brother Chu Hao's side.
"If he succeeds in becoming the Taishang Grotto-Heaven's future Mansion Master, he'll have more authority to speak. Gu Changge won't dare to be so reckless anymore."
Tang Wan sighed deeply. Before this, she had never thought that she would be so fearful of a young man one day.
In her opinion, Gu Changge's strength could even defeat a Supreme-Being.
When Gu Changge activated the supreme weapon that day, it was obvious that he was far from reaching his limit based on how casual he looked.
This was not something that could be faked.
After being in the Commerce Alliance for so many years, Tang Wan had a good sense of judgment. She would not underestimate anyone easily.
Especially someone like Gu Changge who was so overbearing that no one in the younger generation dared to offend him.
"Young Lady, Young Lady … Bad news, bad news …"
However, at this moment.
Outside the courtyard, a guard ran in anxiously all of a sudden. He sounded panicked as if he had encountered something serious.
"What's the matter? Why are you in such a panic? Where's your manners?"
Before Tang Wan could speak, the maidservant next to her frowned and said unhappily.
"Don't worry. What's the matter? Why are you in such a panic?"
Tang Wan waved her hand, signaling the guard to calm down.
However, for some reason, she had a strong feeling of uneasiness in her heart again.
The last time she had this premonition was when she encountered a disaster in the Ancient Cave Mansion and almost lost her life.
However, at that time, she managed to avert the disaster. She even obtained the inheritance of an ancient expert and obtained the Divine Mystery Brush, which allowed her to enter the path of Dao through painting.
"Young Lady, bad news. Young Master has offended the Nine-tailed Fox Clan and is now in the hands of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan's Heavenly Maiden Yin Mei …"
The guard reported with a trembling voice. He knew that the Young Lady had always doted on Young Master Tang Tian.
Now that such a serious matter had happened, only the Young Lady could think of a way to solve it.
"Tang Tian has offended the Nine-tailed Fox Clan? What's going on? Isn't Tang Tian staying in the city? How did he offend the Nine-tailed Fox Clan? What happened? "
Tang Wan was stunned when she heard the guard's report. Then, her expression turned solemn as she asked hurriedly.
Since it involved her brother, she had to take it seriously.
Although she knew that her brother was a good-for-nothing and was domineering, he was not stupid.
However, he was not stupid. Why would he offend the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan for no reason?
Could there be some kind of misunderstanding?
"It's like this, Young Miss. According to the cultivators who witnessed it with their own eyes, that day at the Drunken Immortal Inn, Young Master Tang Tian abducted a Nine-Tailed Fox girl with bad intentions. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Yin Mei of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan found him and caught him red-handed …"
"This matter has been made known to the whole city."
The guard reported the cause and effect in a panic. Of course, this was not what he saw with his own eyes, but the news that came from somewhere else.
"How could Tang Tian be so stupid and so bold …"
After hearing this, even Tang Wan, who had a gentle temperament, was stunned.
Then, she reacted and could not help but feel angry. She was incomparably angry.
Towards this good-for-nothing brother of hers who kept causing trouble for her, it was not as simple as hating him for being useless.
At this time, she only wanted to lock him in the clan and forbid him to take another step out.
"I understand Tang Tian's character. Even if he has bad intentions, he does not have the courage. He must have been urged by someone. Who else was with Tang Tian at that time?"
However, Tang Wan quickly calmed down and could not help but ask. There was a dignified look in her eyes that was difficult to look at.
"This … According to the cultivators who witnessed it with their own eyes, it was the Young Master who acted on his own initiative. When he saw the Heavenly Maiden Yin Mei's maid coming out to buy things without anyone following behind her, he had a sudden idea and sent someone to knock her out and bring her to the Drunken Immortal Inn."
The guard hurriedly replied, not daring to hide anything.
"Is that true? Is that really the case? Where are the cultivators who protected my brother? Where are they? Do I have to ask them? "
Tang Wan was stunned. Her intuition told her that this matter was not so simple. She could not help but ask coldly.
Her iron fist over the years was not just for show.
At this time, her body gave off a terrifying dignified aura that was difficult to look at.
Even the maid who had followed her for a long time felt a palpitating fear.
"Reporting to Young Miss, the cultivators who protected the Young Master were immediately killed by the angry Heavenly Maiden Yin Mei. Their bodies and souls were completely destroyed. No one survived."
The guard's voice trembled as he stammered.
"They were all killed?"
Tang Wan's voice suddenly became louder. It could be seen that she was currently angry.
Although it did not sound wrong, the first thing she did was not to look for the maid, but to kill Tang Tian's protectors?
No matter how one looked at it, it gave off a feeling of wanting to destroy the corpse.
However, if the Heavenly Maiden Yin Mei was angry and could only vent her anger like this, it was still acceptable.
But this was too strange.
Tang Wan's intuition told her that this matter was not simple.
"I know. Where is Tang Tian now? Did the Heavenly Maiden Yin Mei say anything? "
Tang Wan asked in a low voice. She had already calmed down.
"Young Master Tang Tian is now being held captive by the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. It is not convenient for the family to settle this …" The guard quickly replied.
"I know."
Tang Wan nodded. She knew that the family could not stand on the side of reason in this matter. No matter if it was true or a scheme, the whole city knew about it.
The Tang Family's face was completely lost.
In her opinion, if this matter was being plotted against, it was very likely that Yin Mei wanted to make some kind of request.
Although the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan was behind the Ten Thousand Dao Business Alliance, it was not the only clan that was powerful.
Yin Mei had only been in power for a short time. Furthermore, she was still young, so she did not have much trust in the Ten Thousand Dao Business Alliance.
Hence, it was inevitable that there would be some conflicts between the two of them.
As a senior, she was much more mature and powerful than Yin Mei in terms of ability.
If she was plotted against by Yin Mei because of this, it was understandable.
"I overestimated Yin Mei's character. She actually planned to use such methods to force me …"
"I wonder if she will play any tricks?"
Tang Wan frowned. Then, she left the courtyard and planned to make a move.
However, before that, she planned to contact Chu Hao. However, the news that she received later made her feel helpless. In the end, she could only give up.
This was because Chu Hao was not in the Ancient Country of Phoenix. He was rushing to the place where the Absolute Yin Calamity broke out.
Even if something happened, he would not be able to help.
Initially, she planned to ask Chu Hao to go with her. It would be safer and more secure.
"The ransom this time should not be too simple. I have to inform the family. Although Grandfather hates Tang Tian for not fighting for him, he will not sit by and watch him be captured by the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. "
"I don't have enough experts here. This uneasiness is getting stronger … I need the family to send more experts over."
Thinking of this, Tang Wan made a move while sending a message to inform her family. It would be best if they were fully prepared.
This spell technique that allowed her to foresee fortune and misfortune had allowed her to avoid many dangers.
