Chapter 273: Year Grass
Chapter 273: Year Grass
After returning from Tianyao Peak, in the following days, Lin Chuan devoted himself to the Tao and started the daily Tianyao Peak check-in task.
"Sister Li, I'm here to learn medical skills."
Xu Hanyi and Jiang Wanying are also as obsessed with something as Lin Chuan.
"Chuan'er, be good. It's time to take your medicine."
"Achuan, come and try this."
Of course, Lin Chuan’s daily check-in was not without results. At least he figured out the cause of his illness and the solution.
"I should have replaced the Thousand Years Grass with Thousand Sun Grass when I was refining the medicine."
Li Yue looked guilty and didn't dare to look Lin Chuan in the eye. Her voice was filled with self-blame and regret.
"Now that things have come to this, Sister Li, can you think of a solution?"
Lin Chuan looked at Li Yue anxiously, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Now the only way to help your friend recover is to find a way to neutralize the medicinal power of the Thousand Years Grass in your body."
……
The demon clan's ancestral hall.
"Ancestor."
Ye Wutan knelt quietly in front of the door, with his head lowered so low that people could not see the expression on his face.
"The three-day deadline has passed. Have you received the item yet?"
The hoarse and cold voice seemed to come from the Netherworld, bringing with it a chilling sense of oppression.
"Reporting to the ancestor, not only did we fail to obtain the things, but the Qingluan Holy Land was also preparing to attack us." Ye Wutan said in a deep voice.
"???"
"waste!"
The sound was like thunder, containing endless anger.
Ye Wutan's body slowly floated up uncontrollably, as if an invisible big hand was strangling his neck. His face turned red and he struggled desperately in mid-air.
"Killing me, Old Ancestor, will not help. Now we should find a way to resist the invasion of the Qingluan Holy Land."
Ye Wutan squeezed out these words with great difficulty. Although he was having difficulty breathing and his voice was weak and intermittent, there was a hint of determination in his words.
However, all he got in response was a stronger feeling of suffocation.
The invisible force became tighter and tighter, Ye Wutan's eyes were bloodshot due to congestion, and his face turned from red to purple.
"Humph, if the demon tribe wasn't short of people right now, I would definitely not let you, a fool, off!"
With an angry snort, Ye Wutan fell heavily to the ground like a kite with a broken string, gasping for breath, as if he had been reborn.
"Thank you for not killing me."
Ye Wutan struggled to stand up from the ground, his voice becoming hoarse and dry due to the suffocation just now.
"Crench."
Along with this dull sound, the door of the ancestral hall slowly opened, and an old and solemn atmosphere hit us.
Inside the ancestral hall, tablets are neatly arranged, as if telling the glory and vicissitudes of the ancestors of the demon clan.
On the altar table before the tablet, there is a wooden box, dark in color, with a crisscrossing texture on its surface, which seems to be formed naturally, yet also looks like it has been carefully carved by humans.
"Why? You want it?"
A hoarse voice suddenly came into my ears, as if it came from a deep ancient well, with a hint of chill.
Ye Wutan's whole body trembled, and his thoughts were instantly pulled back. He hurriedly withdrew his gaze from the long wooden box on the altar and subconsciously turned his head to look to the side.
At some point, a man in a black robe stood there silently.
The man in the black robe had a slender figure, with a fluttering black robe and an ink-black mask covering his face, revealing only a pair of narrow eyes.
“Ancestor, Wu Tian dare not.”
Ye Wutan's heart trembled, and he quickly lowered his head, his voice trembling slightly.
"I will hold Xu Hanyi back for you. When the time comes, you just need to finish the battle as soon as possible and come back to help me."
The old ancestor's voice was deep and powerful, with unquestionable majesty.
"Don't worry, Ancestor. Wu Tian will definitely live up to your trust. If I can't come back to help in time, I am willing to accept the punishment!"
Ye Wutan immediately knelt on one knee and said firmly.
"If you can take this opportunity to get rid of Xu Hanyi and obtain the Dao Protection Jade, the contents of this box will be yours."
"Ancestor, Wu Tianding will go all out!"
……
Demon clan, a land of rebellion.
Inside the military tent, the lights were bright. A man was lazily leaning on a chair, leisurely sipping fine wine and eating delicious food.
Xiao Yuan stood respectfully aside, with a flattering smile on his face and a look of caution in his eyes, serving diligently.
He poured wine for the man from time to time, and paid attention to his expression. As long as the man made the slightest movement, he would immediately step forward, fearing that he would be negligent in the slightest.
"Xiaoyuan, you completed the mission well this time. This is a reward for you."
Li Yuan's mouth curled up slightly, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, and he casually threw a storage bag to Xiao Yuan. The bag drew an arc in the air, making a slight sound of breaking through the air.
"Hey, Second Elder, I'm just doing my job and completing the task you assigned me. What are you doing?"
Xiao Yuan smiled widely, waved his hands, and respectfully handed the storage bag back with both hands.
"There are 10,000 spirit stones in it, are you sure you don't want it?"
Li Yuan raised the corner of his mouth in a meaningful arc, and looked at Xiao Yuan with a half-smile in his eyes.
"Second Elder, I am deeply grateful for your kindness. However, I am devoted to serving the demon clan and do not value spirit stones."
Xiao Yuan's words were sincere and his eyes were full of sincerity.
"Interesting, tell me, what do you want?"
Li Yuan put the storage bag back and looked at Xiao Yuan with interest.
"Ahem, I have a younger sister who works for the Royal Guards. Her promotion to deputy commander..."
Xiao Yuan lowered his head slightly, his tone somewhat tentative.
"Deputy Commander? You mean Commander?"
Li Yuan raised his eyebrows and deliberately dragged out his tone.
"Commander?!" Xiao Yuan was stunned at first, then overjoyed, his eyes filled with surprise, and he nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, it's Commander. Look at my poor memory. I'm sorry to have made the Second Elder laugh."
……
Magic Palace.
Lin Wanxi looked at Jun Moxie and Xue Ji in front of her with a complicated expression.
Just now, Jun Moyue told her the truth about the rebellion.
"Daughter, your father..."
Jun Moxie scratched his head, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"It's okay, Dad is doing this for my own good."
Lin Wanxi shook her head gently. Although there was still some confusion in her eyes, she tried hard to force a comforting smile.
"..."
Jun Moxie opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, and thousands of words were stuck in his throat.
"Father, just say whatever you want to say."
Seeing that Jun Moxie was hesitant to speak, Lin Wanxi took the initiative to urge him softly.
"You have now awakened the Immortal Demon Body and the Immortal Demon Eyes. According to the ancestral system, the position of Demon Ancestor must belong to you."
Jun Moxie's expression was complicated, with relief and worry intertwined in his eyes.
Although the position of Demon Ancestor symbolizes supreme honor and power, it also means endless responsibilities and challenges.
"Father, I don't want to be a demon ancestor."
Lin Wanxi's eyes were full of panic. She waved her hands repeatedly, and her tone revealed undisguised resistance.
"I know you don't want to be one, but if you don't, someone else will."
Jun Moxie looked solemn, his eyes fixed on Lin Wanxi.
"If someone else sat on the throne of the Demon Ancestor, do you think he would let you go?"
