Golden Ridge Ancient City.
Where the Tang Family resided.
As the number one family in Golden Ridge Ancient City, the Tang Family had branches all over the Upper Realm.
However, the Tang Family's real home was in a small world in Golden Ridge Ancient City. Very few cultivators knew about this.
The Tang Family entered the Dao through business and had a complicated network of relationships. This was well-known in the Upper Realm.
There was once a genius in the Tang Family who was unparalleled in business.
He was the one who developed an unremarkable family into the Tang Family that many Imperishable Sects did not dare to underestimate.
At this moment, in the small world where the Tang Family resided.
This place was vast and boundless. Many living beings and cultivators came and went. Palaces and divine islands floated in the air. It was magnificent and ancient.
In the most magnificent palace at the center, a tall, hale and hearty old man was slamming the table in front of him. He was not angry, but he gave off a dignified aura.
A terrifying aura filled the air, as if it was going to destroy everything.
He was the current head of the Tang Family, Old Master Tang.
On the table was the Shadow Recording Stone sent by Yin Mei.
"What a fool! This Tang Tian only knows how to cause trouble for me all day long! He doesn't even know how to save me some trouble. Is he trying to anger me to death? "
Below him, the important figures of the Tang Family kept quiet out of fear and did not dare to speak.
When Old Master Tang was angry, anyone who dared to interrupt him would be punished with three months of confinement, even if they were the most favored descendant.
"Of all things, he just had to cause trouble for me. Is the Tang Family's business going to fall on this unfilial descendant's shoulders in the future?"
Then, Old Master Tang gradually calmed down. His eyes flashed and he snorted, "How dare he scheme against my Tang Family."
"Does this little girl from the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan really think that I'm blind?"
When he said this, it caused an uproar among the Tang Family's upper echelons. Everyone was filled with righteous indignation.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a trap set by Yin Mei.
But so what if they could see it?
The witness at that time had already been disposed of by Yin Mei the moment she appeared, destroying the corpse and erasing all evidence.
That Shopkeeper Zhu, if he wasn't killed, then Yin Mei must have found someone to kill and hide him.
Even if they wanted to trace the incident back then, they wouldn't be able to find anyone.
He could only grit his teeth and swallow this matter.
They were all smart people and had been in the Business Alliance for so many years. How could they not see through this?
However, Yin Mei was backed by the Immemorial Royal Family, so they couldn't say anything. After all, they had no evidence.
"It seems that this matter is just a small trick used by that little girl, the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, to fight with Tang Wan. She sent this Shadow Recording Stone over to express her attitude."
The Tang Old Master coldly snorted, quickly understanding Yin Mei's intentions.
They naturally wouldn't interfere in such a small fight. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as a fight between Yin Mei and Tang Wan.
Even the Tang Family had to back down when facing the Far Ancient Imperial Family.
"Father, do we have to swallow this loss by ourselves?"
The one who spoke was a middle-aged man named Tang Feng. He was the father of Tang Tian and Tang Wan.
Although he was helpless about the matter caused by his son, there was nothing he could do. Tang Tian was stupid and fell into the trap of others.
Who could he blame?
If Tang Tian had been a little more clear-minded, so many things wouldn't have happened.
"What else can we do? What can you do? "
"Let Tang Wan handle this matter by herself. She is the elder sister, and the other party is targeting her. Don't tell me you want to interfere?"
"Our Tang Family is unreasonable in this matter. If those old foxes from the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox Clan make things difficult for me, I'll be in trouble."
"Recently, I feel that they are plotting against my position. The Nine-tailed Celestial Fox Clan has always been planning to do whatever they want in the Business Alliance …"
The Tang Old Master coldly snorted and said.
Hearing this, the higher-ups of the Tang Family fell silent. They knew that his words weren't without reason.
The Heavenly Lady of the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox Clan had already made it clear that she was targeting Tang Wan.
At this time, they naturally couldn't interfere. Otherwise, the situation would turn into a conflict between the Tang Family and the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox Clan. The loss outweighed the gain.
"Then we don't care about the message from Wan 'er?"
"She said that this matter won't be simple …"
Tang Feng frowned and asked, unwilling to give up.
"How complicated can it be? At most, she'll give some of her benefits to the other party. Tang Wan is a very good girl. She wants the family to help her, but she won't give up any of her benefits. "
"Hmph, don't I know her?"
The Tang Old Master waved his hand and asserted, "She simply wants to grasp more power and have more right to speak. This old man has seen her goal in the last few years."
"Now, the other party has made their goal clear, but she's still thinking of taking advantage of the family?"
"What if it's a trap, Father?"
Tang Feng frowned. He trusted Tang Wan's intuition.
But the matter of Chu Hao had caused the Tang Old Master and Tang Wan to become very unhappy.
Now, the Tang Old Master felt that Tang Wan was worried about Chu Hao. He didn't give her power because he was afraid that she would use it to help Chu Hao.
"Tell me, what trap can there be?"
The Tang Old Master sneered and asked.
Tang Feng was at a loss for words.
Yes? What trap could there be? Could it be that Yin Mei planned to harm Tang Wan?
Unless Yin Mei was crazy, she couldn't run away if something happened to Tang Wan.
There was only harm and no benefit.
… …
"The family doesn't believe me this time? Why? "
"Yin Mei actually sent a Shadow Recording Stone? Does she really have no other goal? "
On the other side, Tang Wan was also stunned by the news from the family. She couldn't believe it.
If her family had sent experts over this time, she would have had more confidence.
But they didn't.
Yin Mei only used a Shadow Recording Stone to convince the Tang family not to interfere.
"Did Yin Mei calculate all this? Or was it just a coincidence? "
Tang Wan sighed.
That feeling of unease grew stronger.
She used the Brush of Heavenly Secrets to divine her own fortune, but it was gray and her future was uncertain.
Logically speaking, there was no enmity between her and Yin Mei, so why would she suddenly scheme against her?
Tang Wan also couldn't understand. After thinking it over, she felt that the greatest possibility was that Yin Mei wanted to use this as a threat to obtain benefits from her.
"Could it be that Yin Mei even predicted that I would ask the family for help?"
Tang Wan felt even more uneasy. Although there were many experts following her and many hidden experts, they didn't give her much of a sense of security.
"Forget it. I don't believe that Yin Mei dares to do anything to me."
Since she was already here, Tang Wan could only brace herself and go.
In a short while, she reached the ancient city in front of her. Following their agreement, Tang Wan went straight to the agreed upon location.
This was the famous Heaven Gazing Pavilion of the city. It was dazzling, richly ornamented, and ancient.
As the name implied, it had the meaning of looking up at the heavens.
The steps were carved with cloud patterns, dense with spiritual energy and surging with the light of treasures.
At the highest point, one could see the entire city.
And if anything happened there, the entire city would be alarmed.
Under the cover of the afterglow, it was even more magnificent.
"It seems that I was worrying too much. Discussing in this kind of place."
"It shouldn't be a problem."
Thinking of this, Tang Wan let out a sigh of relief. Soon, under the guidance of the people below the Heaven Gazing Pavilion, she rushed to the top of the pavilion. She wanted to know what Yin Mei was playing at.
"Miss Wan."
At the top of the Heaven Gazing Pavilion, Yin Mei was sitting there in a white robe, quietly playing the zither. Two maids behind her were dragging their tails to prevent them from falling to the ground.
Her face was naturally enchanting and shockingly beautiful.
As long as one was a man, they wouldn't be able to take their eyes off her.
She took the initiative to speak, indicating for Tang Wan to sit.
"I know that Miss Wan is confused and had no choice but to come up with this plan. Please come over."
Yin Mei smiled, appearing gracious.
"Let's not talk nonsense between us."
"I only want to ask you one thing. What do you mean by this?"
Tang Wan's expression was very ugly. She didn't have her usual gentle and charming appearance. She coldly stared at her and asked.
"Where's my brother?"
"Miss Wan, don't be anxious. Tang Tian is fine. But before that, you have to agree to a request of mine." Yin Mei smiled.
"What request?"
Hearing that, Tang Wan's heart heaved a sigh of relief. But she still asked coldly.
Seems like Yin Mei didn't have any other motives. Could it be that the danger she felt before was not because of Yin Mei?
"The benefits of the few ancient cities in your hands, you have to give it to me."
Yin Mei's expression was calm. "You know, I have just taken over power. Many people don't even trust me. I have no choice but to come up with this plan."
"If I have offended you in any way, I hope Miss Wan can forgive me."
"Humph, I knew it. You have calculated this well. "Hearing this, Tang Wan relaxed. Her earlier vigilance had also dissipated by quite a bit.
She was worried that Yin Mei would not make any requests. If he didn't, then there would be a real problem.
"I will agree to your request. But if you think that you can monopolize the power like this, I think you are thinking too much."
"Since Miss Wan has agreed, then I am relieved."
"Then, my second request is …" Yin Mei said with a smile.
"Second request? Don't be too overboard. "
Tang Wan's face changed. She seemed to be angry. "Yin Mei, don't be too overboard. You are too greedy."
"Seems like Miss Wan is not planning to save your brother? That's fine. I will just lock him up for a while longer. Anyway, your Tang Family won't dare to do anything to me. "
Yin Mei smiled. Imitating Gu Changge, he picked up the wine cup on the table and placed it to his lips. Then, he raised his head and drank.
Such an attitude, he did not even put Tang Wan in his eyes.
"I will agree to your second request."
Tang Wan's face was gloomy. But in the end, she clenched her teeth and agreed. But in her heart, she heaved a sigh of relief. She was more or less more at ease than before.
This was nothing compared to what she was worried about before she came.
Although Yin Mei was a little greedy, in Tang Wan's eyes, this was normal.
However, her face still showed unwillingness and anger, but she could not do anything to Yin Mei.
"Okay, now that I have agreed to your two requests, where is my brother?"
Tang Wan asked again. At this time, she was much more casual. In a place like Skyview Pavilion, as long as there was a slight change, the whole city would notice.
So she was not worried that Yin Mei would play any tricks.
"The last request …."
Yin Mei was still smiling. "Don't worry, this is really the last request."
"I have to see that my brother is safe …."
Tang Wan frowned. At this time, she did not agree immediately. Because she had already expected that Yin Mei would ask for more conditions.
This was such a good opportunity. How could Yin Mei only ask for two conditions?
But Tang Wan felt that she could not let Yin Mei lead her by the nose. What if after she agreed, Yin Mei did not let go of her brother?
She did not believe in things like a Heavenly Oath.
The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan was very cunning. They even had a secret method to remove the curse of a Heavenly Oath.
"This …."
Hearing this, Yin Mei hesitated. She looked like she was in a difficult position.
"I understand. I, Tang Wan, swear with my Dao heart that if I agree to Yin Mei's conditions today, I will definitely agree to them. If I break this oath, I will be struck by lightning, and my body and soul will be destroyed. I will die a horrible death. "
Seeing Yin Mei's expression, Tang Wan sneered. How could she not understand? She was very straightforward.
"Sister Wan is really straightforward."
"I like it."
Hearing this, Yin Mei could not help but smile. She even changed the way she addressed Tang Wan.
"Then come with me."
As soon as she finished speaking, her figure flashed as she brought along her maidservant and directly left the Skyview Pavilion.
At this time, Tang Wan did not have any doubts. After all, she was the one who asked to see Tang Tian. Could it be that Yin Mei had even agreed to this?
She asked herself if her acting skills were okay.
The words and expressions of the two just now perfectly matched all her previous speculations. Yin Mei did not look like she had ulterior motives at all.
But just in case, Tang Wan was still brought along by the many experts behind her. Several Absolute Saints and one Supreme Saint were hidden. If anything happened, they would be alerted immediately.
Tang Wan did not believe that something would happen when she was so vigilant.
After that, he followed closely behind Yin Mei and quickly left the Sky Gazing Tower, heading towards the palaces and residences.
Here, Tang Wan noticed that Yin Mei's figure landed in a courtyard. It was very quiet and elegant.
She didn't hesitate for long before following after them. The large group of experts behind her was blocked outside by Yin Mei's maids.
"Miss …."
"Wait for me here."
Tang Wan nodded calmly. She had a jade talisman hidden in her sleeve. If there was any danger, she could crush the jade talisman to inform the experts outside.
They entered the courtyard.
The decorations surprised Tang Wan. It looked very elegant. Whether it was the calligraphy, painting, or bamboo, they all gave off an elegant and otherworldly feeling.
She was dazed and wondered if she had come to the wrong place.
A person like Yin Mei, no matter how you looked at it, she was not elegant at all, right?
"Where's my brother?"
Seeing Yin Mei stop in front of the courtyard, Tang Wan frowned and asked.
"Come with me. Anyway, I won't mistreat your brother during this time. After all, I can't let him lose weight."
Yin Mei said casually and walked forward.
Tang Wan saw that there seemed to be a dungeon in the depths of the courtyard.
She was slightly relieved, but she did not take more than a few steps.
Tang Wan's eyes widened. A terrifying cold air suddenly swept through her body, causing her soul to tremble.
Her scalp was numb.
"How is this possible …."
At this moment, her head was buzzing. Almost immediately, she connected everything, the cause and effect, and many other things.
All of a sudden, everything became clear.
In front of the stone table, a young man was writing something with his head down. His attitude was natural and casual, and he was extraordinary. He gave off a sense of peace and harmony.
In such an atmosphere, Tang Wan did not feel the slightest bit natural. Instead, her whole body was cold, and even her hands and feet were cold.
She recognized the white-robed man in front of her.
It was Gu Changge, the one who caused her to suffer the backlash! 683
Why is he here?
At this time, shouldn't he be in the Ancient Country of Vermilion Bird, in charge of the Immortal Academy? How could he be here?
What is his relationship with Yin Mei?
Could it be that Yin Mei's actions were all arranged and directed by him behind the scenes?
Too many questions appeared in Tang Wan's mind, and she could not help but feel frightened.
She subconsciously wanted to crush the jade talisman in her sleeve.
However, the white-robed man in front of her suddenly raised his head, looked at her, and said casually.
"Oh? Miss Wan, you're here? "
"Wait a moment. But before that, I advise you to put down the jade talisman in your hand, because when you crush it, your brother may die."
Gu Changge's words did not have much of a threat. It sounded like a kind reminder.
However, Tang Wan felt cold all over and could not even hold the jade talisman firmly. That terrifying feeling of danger swept over her again.
"Also, let me remind you that in here, the jade talisman can't be transmitted."
Gu Changge finally finished his last stroke and put away the brush with satisfaction. Yin Mei beside him brought tea and handed it to him.
"Gu Changge, why are you here?"
Tang Wan knew that she had fallen into a trap. At this time, she calmed down, thinking that Gu Changge could not be so bold as to kill her at this time.
"Is it important that I'm here?"
Gu Changge drank the tea and looked at Tang Wan carefully. He smiled casually. "You do look the same."
"What do you mean?"
Tang Wan was puzzled by his words. She did not understand at all. What do you mean by look the same?
"You don't need to understand."
Gu Changge did not have the intention to explain. He smiled casually. "You only need to know one thing. Today, no one can save you."
"Even if Chu Hao grew wings and flew over, it would be useless."
At this moment, Tang Wan felt a terrifying killing intent, causing her body to feel cold. Was Gu Changge really planning to kill her here?
She did not dare to believe it.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. You're still useful to me."
Gu Changge smiled. As if he felt her fear, he waved his hand.
The space in front of them seemed to be separated. A vast and supreme aura turned into a hazy fog, covering all directions.
This scene caused Tang Wan's expression to change.
She knew that this was the magical use of a space divine ability. It involved the extremely profound space law. Even those old monsters who studied this path painstakingly could not reach this level.
Gu Changge actually separated an independent space with a wave of his hand?
This kind of method caused a storm to rise in her heart.
Unless she could break this kind of rule, otherwise, what happened here would definitely not be discovered by the outside world.
"So you were the one who planned all of this behind my back?"
"Why? How did you know? "
Tang Wan's mouth revealed a bitter smile. She really did not expect to meet Gu Changge in the end.
She originally thought that she was careful enough when she helped Chu Hao.
However, Gu Changge still found out about it and took action in advance.
"Know what? Is your relationship with Chu Hao? "
"Or are you planning to deal with me together with Chu Hao?"
Gu Changge smiled casually, showing that he did not care. "As a leek, you should have the awareness of a leek. There's no need to know too much."
A pitch-black light appeared in his palm. In the end, it turned into a palm-sized bottle. There was a terrifying fog surrounding it.
It was as if millions of demons were dancing together, causing chaos in the heavens.
Just one look was enough to make one's heart palpitate.
