Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 649 - 278: Soul-Annihilating Needle, Reformed Spiritual Root, Plot Within a Plot

"It’s truly the Thousand-Year Spirit Ginseng!"

Xu Changyun burst into tears of joy.

Her brother could be saved!

After the excitement subsided.

Xu Changyun feared any delays might lead to unforeseen changes, so she quickly made a gesture to cast a technique. But at that moment, a wave of heat surged from her Dantian, and her Mana could not circulate.

"What’s happening?!"

Xu Changyun’s heart filled with alarm.

Right at that moment.

The sound of footsteps echoed from outside the cave:

"Fairy Xu, long time no see."

A strong scent wafted in, and Tian Yunguang, as graceful as a Banished Immortal, walked in with a smile. It was clear he had been hiding here all along.

Tian Yunguang, notorious as a master thief with a bad reputation.

Xu Changyun immediately realized she had unknowingly been poisoned; Tian Yunguang was the number one expert in using love toxins, and nearly all the girls in North Huai Prefecture withdrew at the mere sight of him. She never expected to fall for his deceit.

Xu Changyun was unwilling to accept this.

Tian Yunguang smiled as he eyed Xu Changyun:

"Such a breathtaking beauty. Well, well, I was hoping to catch a big fish, but a beauty like you is worth my wait."

"Beauty."

"Hold on for a moment."

"After I harvest the Thousand-Year Spirit Ginseng, I’ll come back and cherish you properly."

In a great mood, Tian Yunguang decided not to wait any longer, as everyone was heading to the second level: Yinluo Ghost City. The [Profound Yin Grass] was the main goal of his trip.

He immediately formed a hand seal.

Focusing intently, he carefully harvested the three Thousand-Year Spirit Ginseng plants, sealed them in a box, and then walked toward Xu Changyun:

"Beauty, don’t worry. I’ve always cherished flowers. No need to fear, ha ha."

With that.

He waved his sleeve.

His Dharma Robe instantly fell away.

Xu Changyun hardened her heart, deciding that rather than be defiled by this filthy person, it would be easier to end her own life.

It’s rumored.

Any woman who shared pleasure with Tian Yunguang ended up being controlled by him.

She did not want to become such a puppet nor serve such a scoundrel like Tian Yunguang!

Just as she was about to bite down on the poison hidden in her teeth.

Suddenly.

A streak of Purple Qi Divine Light buzzed, shooting toward Tian Yunguang’s back with lightning speed.

Tian Yunguang, completely naked now, hurriedly dodged to evade the Purple Qi Divine Light, but it seemed to have eyes, adjusting its direction and moving too fast for Tian Yunguang to summon a Protective Spiritual Artifact.

Ding!

The Purple Qi Divine Light pierced through Tian Yunguang’s back:

"You wretch, you actually have....."

Falling heavily to the ground, Tian Yunguang’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

To him.

This was all Xu Changyun’s trap, set to trick him into letting down his guard, allowing her to deliver a fatal blow.

A strand of blood dripped from Tian Yunguang’s brow to Xu Changyun’s face. Her suicidal thoughts dissipated as she looked at the now-empty entrance of the cave, swallowing nervously.

For her brother.

For herself.

She decided to take a gamble:

"Fellow cultivator."

"I have a deal to discuss with you. Would you be willing to reveal yourself?"

It was her only bargaining chip.

As soon as she finished speaking.

A swirl of Spiritual Qi swept up Tian Yunguang’s storage bag from the ground and carried it to the outside of the cave, where a cold voice rang out:

"What deal? Speak."

"Fellow cultivator, I can help you obtain the [Profound Yin Grass] from Yinluo Ghost City, but you must promise me one thing: deliver one of the [Thousand-Year Spirit Ginseng] to my brother."

Fu Changsheng, hidden outside the cave, had originally intended to remove Xu Changyun to eliminate future threats but decided to hear her out first:

"How can you assist me in obtaining the [Profound Yin Grass]?"

Xu Changyun’s breathing became labored, and her mind was becoming increasingly unclear, yet she still tried her best to maintain control:

"To show my sincerity, fellow cultivator, could you first resolve the love poison affecting me?"
