Chapter 304 Lanqiuze 7
Chapter 304 Lanqiuze 7
Qin Che stiffly held the remaining fish cakes, asking, "What are these?!"
Cheng Jiu and Jin Su offered their explanations in a flurry of voices.
"Change a person's mind! Parasitize a person's yang orifice? Isn't that an ability only magical beasts possess?" Qin Che's pupils dilated as he exclaimed in astonishment.
"Warcraft?"
Yingyue also came over and said in unison.
When Cheng Jiu first encountered the Warcraft, it was at the Cloud Soaring Sect. She remembered that they had captured a so-called little prince of the Demon Clan.
"Well, anyway, it's not a demonic beast from our Xuan Tian Continent, it's a beast from outer space!" Qin Che didn't want to talk about it anymore, then looked at Cheng Jiu with a relieved expression. "Having Junior Sister accompany you was absolutely the right thing to do!"
Cheng Jiu said earnestly, "Senior brother, you need to change this habit! You clearly know that Lan Qiuze is acting very strangely!"
Qin Che scratched his head sheepishly: "Who would have thought they would poison the food! So many people lined up to buy it! It's so unethical!"
Next time, I'll definitely pay attention, I'll definitely pay attention!
Seeing Qin Che laugh it off, Cheng Jiu didn't continue, only issuing a warning. Cheng Jiu believed that Qin Che was capable of handling things.
Qin Che looked at Senior Sister Jin Su: "If it was parasitism, how was Senior Sister Jin Su cured!"
The two of them looked at Cheng Jiu at the same time, and now it was Cheng Jiu's turn to feel embarrassed.
After listening to Yingyue and Jinsu tell him about Cheng Jiu's bold actions!
"The Seed of Life!" Qin Che's voice became shrill as he looked at Cheng Jiu: "Junior Sister Jiu is even bolder than me!"
"I know I was wrong!" Cheng Jiu quickly admitted her mistake, belatedly realizing that her behavior was wrong.
Qin Che smiled wryly: "Junior Sister Xiao Jiu, although you are a disciple of Immortal Venerable Qingxu and also a disciple of our Guiyuan Sect, and no one dares to make a move against you, you still need to be careful!"
Does she know how precious her Dao Seed is? Dao Seeds are rare, and a Dao Seed like Cheng Jiu's, which can be plundered, is even more coveted. Although no one dares to make a move with Immortal Lord Qingxu and Guiyuan Sect around, Cheng Jiu should still have some understanding of her Dao Seed.
No one present had this thought when she used it. If it were displayed openly in public, it would truly challenge people's bottom line.
"I understand, senior brother!"
Cheng Jiu knew his concerns, but she trusted her. She wasn't so naive as to take it out in public!
"Alright, what should we do now!" Qin Che was not an alchemist and had no idea what to do, so he could only look at the two genius alchemists from the Guiyuan Sect present.
As for giving up, that's impossible. Qin Che couldn't do it, and Cheng Jiu and Ying Yue couldn't do it either, given the lives of so many fellow disciples.
Having enjoyed the benefits brought by the sect, they naturally had to bear the responsibilities that came with it. These senior brothers and sisters hadn't died. As fellow disciples, they had an obligation to save them!
"I have no clue! Ah!" Yingyue scratched her head: "How could such an important and hidden place as the yang orifice be parasitized!"
"Let's wait for Senior Brother Wen and Senior Brother Liu to arrive, and then we can all brainstorm and think of another solution!"
Cheng Jiu was also clueless. What troubled him was not how to deal with the fish eggs, but how to preserve the yang orifices of his senior brothers and sisters after dealing with the fish eggs.
We can't all end up like Senior Sister Jin Su, paying a huge price to be brought back to life and have our yang orifices reshaped!
This is a good idea, but it can't be done without Cheng Jiu's Life Seed!
After hearing about how Senior Sister Jin Su was rescued, Ying Yue and Cheng Jiu had already tacitly agreed that this was the last resort.
They really can't just let this go!
"Will they be of any use?" Qin Che asked curiously.
"Three cobblers are equal to one Zhuge Liang!" Cheng Jiu said, adding that he would only be satisfied if he tried all the methods.
"What Zhuge Liang?" Qin Che asked, confused.
"You know he's a smart person, that's all that matters!" Cheng Jiu didn't explain in detail. How could he explain it? There's no Three Kingdoms in this world.
"I think Junior Sister Yingyue and Junior Sister Xiaojiu are already very smart." Upon hearing this, Qin Che did not ask any further questions.
Speak of the devil, and he appears; Liu Shaoyuan, Wen Sishu, and Huo Yan arrived together.
It was quite surprising that the three of them met in the tunnel, since they had entered from different places.
The guides were a brother and sister, and it was easy to see that they looked about 80% alike.
With a strength around the fifth level of Qi Refining, he could be considered a genius in this small town, considering that even Liu Da Niang and the others who had been rogue cultivators were only at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
As for Huo Yan, he came all alone.
The brother and sister, each with a sword at their neck, led the way, their steps trembling, while the three behind them strolled along leisurely.
"Junior Sister Xiao Jiu! Senior Sister Yingyue! Senior Brother Qin Che!"
Upon seeing Cheng Jiu, Liu Shaoyuan and Wen Sishu quickly greeted him!
"Let them go!" Looking at the two siblings who were quite frightened, Yan Yang felt a little sorry for his two little believers. He originally thought that Cheng Jiu's senior brothers and sisters were all like her, with good temperaments. Who would have thought that there was a killing god hidden among them who would attack at the slightest disagreement!
Cheng Jiu also noticed Huo Yan, who stood out from the crowd among the three. After all, the previous senior brothers and sisters all had someone to guide them, while he was all alone.
"How did Senior Brother Huo Yan find you?"
"We rescued her, and she said you were here!" Huo Yan said succinctly.
"What about people?"
"Knocked out!" Yan Yang and Huo Yan said in unison.
Seeing that Huo Yan had come alone, Yan Yang was a little worried about the believers he had sent, so he went to investigate.
Fortunately, he was only unconscious. Yan Yang said seriously, "Your senior brother killed Huang Si's only son!"
Cheng Jiu stared sharply at Yan Yang. Could it be that she orchestrated this? Why would her senior brother target Huang Si's only son for no reason?
Cheng Jiu is still wary of Yan Yang, and in terms of trust, she is not on the same level as her senior brothers and sisters.
Yan Yang quickly said, "Although I like to arrange some scripts, this really wasn't something I planned!"
"Hmm!" Huo Yan nodded, rarely explaining, "I happened to see a bully harassing the market when I came over."
Huang Si's only son was a tyrant on the streets. Huang Si was used to being in control in Lanqiuze, and his son also regarded himself as a prince, especially liking to bully innocent people.
Huo Yan saw this. Putting aside everything else, Huo Yan was good-looking. Compared to Huang Si's only son, he was like the moon compared to a mosquito. Naturally, this aroused Huang Si's only son's jealousy, and he immediately wanted to tie Huo Yan up.
The consequence, of course, was that no one survived. Right there in the street, a man with a sword acted swiftly and decisively, and left without a trace!
As for the one who was supposed to lead the way, seeing how strong Huo Yan was, he stopped leading the way and knelt down to beg Huo Yan to save his sister.
His sister was beautiful, but she was taken away by Huang Si and his son.
Seeing that Huo Yan was so strong, he didn't want to lead the way anymore and wanted to ask Huo Yan to rescue his sister first!
Unable to bear the other party's persistent harassment and wanting to meet up with Cheng Jiu and the others as soon as possible, Huo Yan, after finding out the location, decisively knocked the other party unconscious and dumped him in the house next to the entrance.
Huo Yan was lucky. Although he didn't know the route, he met Wen Sishu, who was leading the way, after walking for a while. He also met Liu Shaoyuan, and the three of them came together!
"The person you found is really unreliable!" Cheng Jiu could tell the guide's plan even with his eyes closed; he wanted Huo Yan to clash with the Huang family!
What did he take Senior Brother Huo Yan for?
"Reliable believers are hard to find! At least he's willing to have faith in me!"
Yan Yang, however, remained remarkably calm. Ever since she conceived the idea of dealing with Huang Si and his son, she had encountered quite a few similar situations!
Besides being exploited, some people even tried to tip off the Huang family father and son in exchange for their own benefits. Fortunately, Yan Yang was cautious and never revealed his true identity, which prevented the other party from succeeding in their scheme.
At first, Yan Yang was a little annoyed, but later he got used to it.
This is already quite good; at least the other party has a weakness.
With a wave of his hand, Yan Yang sent the brother and sister who had been leading Wen Sishu and Liu Shaoyuan slumping to the ground.
"It's best not to let them know what happened next."
"Unbelievable?" Cheng Jiu asked curiously. Cheng Jiu didn't care about a few children with low cultivation levels.
“She’s different!” Yan Yang nudged the little girl in front of him. “She only has me as family! As for them!”
Yan Yang sighed: "You can tell from their cultivation levels that they are very pampered at home! Their family is considered a fairly large family in Lanqiuze!"
However, they were targeted by Huang Si, and both parents disappeared, leaving only the two children behind!
They came to me seeking their parents! I know where their parents are; they're imprisoned in a water dungeon by Huang Si!
What if Huang Si uses their parents to lure them in?
In short, this brother and sister pair is not reliable!
They weren't really clear about Yan Yang's plan. If they had known Yan Yang's original plan, they probably wouldn't have supported him at all, given their family backgrounds.
Yan Yang intends to wipe out all the people in Lanqiuze in one fell swoop.
They haven't reached that point yet; they still have a bright future ahead of them. They might even try to stop him. It's just that they became Yan Yang's disciples in order to find their parents.
They were brainwashed by her and obeyed her commands.
However, since Cheng Jiu and the others are there, and there are better ways, Yan Yang, as the River God, can certainly lend them a hand.
At this point, all six members of the Guiyuan Sect who had come to Lanqiuze had arrived.
The three of them naturally noticed Senior Sister Jin Su standing beside them. Only Wen Sishu recognized her. After exchanging greetings and hearing Yingyue's account, they all felt troubled by the situation and had the same question: How was Senior Sister Jin Su rescued?
Then Cheng Jiu paid the price for his actions and was severely reprimanded by the three of them.
Even Huo Yan strongly disapproved of Cheng Jiu's audacious act of taking out the Dao Seed.
Alright, now the problem is how to remove those disgusting fish eggs without harming the bodies of my fellow disciples.
It's not that there aren't ways to deal with the fish eggs, but the fish eggs seem to have vaguely replaced the function of the Yang Aperture. While breathing in and out life, they have also replaced the Yang Aperture's ability to control life.
In other words, when it parasitizes, it drills a hole in the yang orifice, and regardless of whether it leaves or dies, the damage to the yang orifice is irreversible.
Even if it could guarantee its survival outside the body and also keep the lives of the senior brothers and sisters alive, Cheng Jiu and the others would not consider it!
Raising a disgusting fish egg for a lifetime is absolutely disgusting, and you don't even know if the egg will develop. What if it does develop? Are you going to have to sacrifice yourself to feed the beast?
Let alone whether the senior brothers and sisters could accept it, Cheng Jiu and the other three were the first to be unable to accept it!
It's true that destruction is easy, but reconstruction is difficult!
Cheng Jiu's idea might be to let the Yang Orifice absorb these fish eggs, making them nourishment for the Yang Orifice and replenishing it!
This is a good idea, but we also need to consider whether the fish eggs are completely unusable waste!
After all, one of its functions is to distort people's minds!
Cheng Jiu and his three companions did not want to leave any future trouble for their senior brothers and sisters!
There is currently one dead fish egg specimen, and we still need one surviving fish egg specimen!
We can't use the remaining senior brothers for experiments, can we? Even if Cheng Jiu can survive, the others will prevent him from using the Life Seed again.
Don't consider their conscience when it comes to the seeds of Tao!
Despite unanimous opposition, Aunt Liu has once again made a dramatic appearance!
Although the senior brothers and sisters are not good enough, there are still people in the city who have been clearly parasitized!
For example, Uncle Liu, whose personality changed drastically after attending a banquet!
In order to deal with Huang Si, Aunt Liu was willing to offer up her husband!
Of course, Cheng Jiu and the other three also guaranteed that they would absolutely protect Uncle Liu's life.
They can still save their lives!
Aunt Liu was very fast, much faster than Cheng Jiu and the others had expected.
Uncle Liu was still conscious when he came over!
Everyone present was astonished. If he didn't have the parasitic fish eggs and had his own consciousness, it wouldn't be surprising if he sought revenge. But he was truly a parasite!
Cheng Jiu remembered that when he came over, he kept saying that he wanted to go to the gambling den!
How could it be so fast!
Aunt Liu nudged Uncle Liu, looked at everyone, and explained.
Originally, Aunt Liu and Yan Yang planned that Yan Yang would knock Uncle Liu unconscious and bring him over through Aunt Liu.
When she returned to her small courtyard, Aunt Liu was horrified to find Cao Xiaofang and her daughter knocked unconscious to the side, and the one who did it was none other than her husband who had lost his mind!
Uncle Liu wasn't surprised at all when Aunt Liu came out of the cellar. Although his mind was twisted, he still knew that there was a way out for them down there!
In addition, he followed along on his own initiative because he felt something was very wrong. Something was wrong when he hit Granny Liu, something was wrong when he offered up his child, and something was even more wrong when he went to the gambling den!
This isn't him at all. He doesn't like this at all. He doesn't like to lay hands on his own family. He doesn't like having a lonely home. More importantly, he doesn't find any enjoyment in the gambling den!
If there's no fun in it, why would he do so many things that harm others and himself?
He felt as if he had been bewitched, and his actions were completely contrary to his original intentions.
So after questioning Aunt Liu, Aunt Liu lied to him, saying that he was indeed under a spell and that she had come to take him to get rid of it!
Uncle Liu followed without suspecting anything!
After listening, Cheng Jiu felt that Uncle Liu's reasoning was very compelling! If he wasn't finding enjoyment in it, why did he do those things?
It was Huang Sifen's extreme greed that led him to treat these people, whose minds had been warped, not as human beings, but as easy prey. He didn't use any of the gambling den's methods.
Let those people gamble and lose! It's not worth the effort.
Therefore, people like Uncle Liu, whose minds have been warped and who have become even more selfish, noticed something was wrong and were easily deceived by Aunt Liu.
