863 Invincible Yan Xiaosi!
Almost at the same time, the pearl hairpin on Yu Wan’s head emitted a blinding light. A sharp whistle sounded. The Sang Family’s Yin Gu, which was clearly about to bite Yu Wan, seemed to have been stimulated and fell to the ground.
“What happened?” Yu Wan was protected by Yan Jiuchao in his arms and could not see the situation behind her clearly. She only vaguely felt something flash and seemed to have escaped death.
Yan Jiuchao looked at the Sang Family’s Yin Gu that had fallen to the ground and then at the pearl hairpin on Yu Wan’s head. The Nether Capital respected the Saintess Stone and believed that it could bring them an auspicious aura. Therefore, many jewelry had the Saintess Stone embedded in them.
Just now, it was the Saintess Stone that shone and repelled the Sang Family’s Yin Gu.
!!
“It’s afraid of light!” Yan Jiuchao said.
“W-what light?” Yu Wan was stunned.
“A strong light.” Although the Sang Family’s Yin Gu didn’t like clear and weak pearl light like the Night-Luminescent Pearl, it didn’t feel too uncomfortable. A thought flashed across Yan Jiuchao’s mind and he asked Yu Wan, “Do you still have the Saintess Stone on you?”
“Yes, that thing… is it afraid of the Saintess Stone?” Yu Wan quickly pulled out the bracelet from her sleeve. This was given to her by her second grand-aunt, and there were a few huge Saintess Stones embedded in it.
Yan Jiuchao pried off the Saintess Stones. When the Sang Family’s Yin Gu attacked again, he threw the Saintess Stones in his hand.
The Saintess Stones emitted a bright light, which was abnormally blinding in the dark passageway. The Yin Gu, which was already afraid of light, seemed to have been stung in the eyes and let out another tragic scream.
The Saintess Stones illuminated the passageway as brightly as day. To the Sang Family’s Yin Gu, who was used to the darkness, this was no different from a mountain of blades and a sea of flames. Under intense discomfort, it was difficult for it to even successfully release its pressure.
Yu Wan could also see the Sang Family’s Yin Gu’s discomfort. “So it’s really afraid of the light of the Saintess Stone.”
It was no wonder that the Nether Capital respected the Saintess. The Saintess Stone of the Saintess was actually the nemesis of the Yin Gu.
The Sang Family’s Yin Gu turned in a few directions, but it could not escape the pervasive light of the Saintess Stone. It gradually had the intention to retreat. With a swing of its huge insect tail, it headed deeper into the forbidden area.
“You want to escape?” Yu Wan grabbed a Saintess Stone that had fallen to the ground and threw it fiercely at the Sang Family’s Yin Gu.
The Sang family’s Yin Gu swayed its tail and avoided it. Yu Wan grabbed another one, but it avoided her again. Yu Wan gritted her teeth. “This fellow’s movement technique is quite agile! If we let it escape, it won’t be so easy to lure it out later!”
In the blink of an eye, Little Gu hiding in Yu Wan’s arms flashed out like a bolt of lightning and pounced straight at the Sang Family’s Yin Gu. It used all its strength to push the Sang Family’s Yin Gu, who was busy escaping, to the dusty ground. It rolled a few times and hit the wall at the side.
The Sang Family’s Yin Gu was furious.
It was instinctive to be repelled by the light of the Saintess Stone, but it was simply a humiliation to be thrown to the ground by a useless Little Gu. The Sang family’s Yin Gu waved its terrifying claws like pincers and ruthlessly pierced towards Little Gu.
Little Gu dodged with a whoosh!
The Sang family’s Yin Gu attacked again!
Little Gu fled with a chirp, but the Sang Family’s Yin Gu still chased closer and closer. Just as it was about to slap Little Gu into meat paste with its claws, Little Gu suddenly fell and fell to the ground. When the Sang Family’s Yin Gu saw this, it unceremoniously pounced over.
Little Gu shook its shoulders evilly and raised the Saintess Stone on the ground that was even bigger than its small body.
The Saintess’s stone flashed, and the Sang Family’s Yin Gu fell to the ground with a miserable cry!
This time, the Sang Family’s Yin Gu was completely furious. Then, something unbelievable happened. It actually raised its sharp front claws and blinded itself.
Yu Wan was instantly stunned. Little Gu held the Saintess Stone and was dumbfounded. Even the usually calm Yan Jiuchao did not expect the Sang Family’s Yin Gu to do such a crazy action.
Yu Wan grabbed her husband’s hand. “It’s really, really, really… an evil thing…”
In order to save itself or to destroy its opponent, it did not hesitate to poke its eyes blind. There was really no one else who was so cruel to itself.
After being blinded, the Sang Family’s Yin Gu was no longer afraid of the light of the Saintess Stone, and its almost perfect perception allowed its actions to be unaffected at all. It could accurately determine the direction of its opponent.
It sent Little Gu flying with its claw. Little Gu was slapped into the wall and could not be dug out. Then, it attacked Yan Jiuchao and Yu Wan. The powerful pressure of the Gu King filled the entire passageway. The air was filled with the thick smell of blood, making one unable to breathe.
Yan Jiuchao blocked Yu Wan with his body.
The Sang family’s Yin Gu could feel a man standing in front of the pure yin blood. However, this was not any obstacle at all. The man did not even have martial arts. It could easily penetrate the other party’s body and enter the pure yin blood’s body to suck her blood dry.
As the Sang family’s Yin Gu thought this, it did so.
It mercilessly bumped towards Yan Jiuchao’s back and his heart.
However, the Sang Family’s Yin Gu could not pass through this man’s body. A pressure that came from nowhere suddenly appeared in front of it and protected the man tightly like an invisible barrier.
Then, something even more unbelievable happened. The pressure seemed to have crushed the aura of the Sang Family’s Yin Gu completely. The Sang Family’s Yin Gu did not even have time to resist before all its claws were broken.
The Yin Gu twitched a few times bleakly and tried to struggle, but it stopped abruptly after two moves.
Yu Wan’s eyelashes trembled. “What happened? Why is there suddenly no movement? Yan Jiuchao! Are you alright!”
“I’m fine.” Yan Jiuchao protected Yu Wan between himself and the wall. He supported himself with his left hand and held Yu Wan’s stomach with his right.
It could clearly have pinched it to death, but it had to slowly play it to death, causing them to be in fear. The Sang family’s Yin Gu had really blinded itself for nothing.
“Is it fun?” Yan Jiuchao gritted his teeth and asked.
“What did you say?” Yu Wan did not hear him clearly.
“Nothing.” Yan Jiuchao let go of her.
Yu Wan touched her stomach and said thoughtfully, “I think my stomach moved just now. Baby moved so much. It must have been frightened.”
The corners of Yan Jiuchao’s mouth twitched. He narrowed his eyes and said, “What about now?”
Yu Wan lowered her head. “Now? It’s asleep, right? There’s no more movement.”
Yan Jiuchao snorted and walked to the motionless Sang Family’s Yin Gu. He took a handkerchief and picked up the Sang Family’s Yin Gu. “Do you have a jade bottle?”
“Yes,” Yu Wan said as she took out a small jade bottle from her wide sleeve. She removed the cork and handed it to Yan Jiuchao.
Yan Jiuchao put the Sang Family’s Yin Gu in. On the other side, Little Gu finally dug itself out of the wall. It jumped back onto Yu Wan and looked at the bottle in Yu Wan’s palm. It raised its little claw and kicked it a few times!
Yan Jiuchao said, “The Sang Family’s Yin Gu is missing. Someone should discover it soon and leave quickly.”
“Yes!” Yu Wan nodded.
The two of them retraced their steps and went to the surface from the entrance. They walked through the bamboo forest, passed through the corridor and small courtyard, and returned to Matriarch Sang’s room.
Little Gu went to look for Ah Wei and brought him to Matriarch Sang’s courtyard. Matriarch Sang was already awake and was pulling Yan Jiuchao and Yu Wan to talk. Ah Wei took out the ginseng he had prepared in advance. Yu Wan frowned and said, “It’s not this ginseng. You took the wrong one.”
“So be it. It’s fine.” Matriarch Sang tried to smooth things over. Did the Sang family not have any natural treasures? Would they care about a thousand-year-old ginseng?
...
Yu Wan said seriously, “That won’t do. You don’t know, but my husband personally dug that ginseng for you. He has to send it over no matter what. Hurry up and go back to the manor to get it.”
The last sentence was clearly directed at Ah Wei.
“Yes!” Ah Wei bowed. When he brushed past Yu Wan, he took the jade bottle that she was holding.
Ah Wei left the manor and rushed to the Sikong Manor.
As Yan Jiuchao had expected, as soon as Ah Wei left, the Sang family noticed the forbidden area. At first, they discovered that the passageway in the bamboo forest seemed to have been touched. As they walked along the passageway, they saw that the pill room had been stolen and the passageway had collapsed. They searched all the way and realized that the Sang family’s Yin Gu had gone missing.
Master Sang was watching the Third Young Master play chess with Master Sikong in the reception pavilion. A guard hurriedly walked over and whispered a few words into Master Sang’s ear.
Master Sang frowned and whispered, “What did you say? The Gu King is missing?”
He glanced at Master Sikong opposite him. Master Sikong placed a chess piece without looking sideways. “Little Jing, I won’t give in this time.”
Master Sang retracted his gaze and secretly clenched his fists. He whispered, “Who did it?”
The guard continued, “I’m not sure. That person seemed to have entered through the passageway in the bamboo forest. The pill room was also stolen. I suspect that it was the same person who did it. I found this in the passageway.”
As he spoke, he opened his palm, revealing a small Saintess Stone.
...
“Also,” the guard said, “Second Young Master Sikong’s attendant has left.”
