Chapter 89

"Old bald donkey, you damn it!" The Blood Child struggled hard to get out, tilting his head to avoid looking too embarrassed: "I've done my part, what about you?"

"Speak, what are the conditions?"

"Simple, move your Mist Child a bit closer to me." The Blood Child revealed a radiant smile.

"Move a bit closer?"

"Exactly, just move a bit closer, it's that simple."

Tang Yan frowned slightly. This Blood Child was the former owner of the Immortal Heaven Technique, likely having cultivated to the fourth stage, with deep knowledge and understanding of the Mist Child and Blood Pearl at each stage. It was precisely because of the Blood Child's existence that Tang Yan deliberately moved the Mist Child away from his area to prevent the evil being from 'taking over the nest.'

Unexpectedly, he still had his eye on it.

"Don't worry, I know my limits. I won't kill you; I'm just bored and want some company."

Who would believe you! Tang Yan snorted coldly.

"Hey? You seem very unwilling? I kindly saved you, do you want to break the deal? Do you have a problem with your character?! Do you believe that I can teach you the technique, I can also make you unable to practice!" The Blood Child threatened with harsh words.

Tang Yan remained silent for a moment, then finally instructed the Mist Child to move closer to the Blood Child: "I'm not that shameless. Conditions are conditions, and I will agree."

The Blood Child's greed was unhidden: "Closer, closer, a bit more, don't be so stingy, come, come, oh, right, right, right, just here. Oh, nice, it's been a long time since I've had such a close look."

"I appreciate your help, but if you try any tricks, think about the seals on your body and look at the Golden Tiger and Golden Butterfly." Tang Yan warned the Blood Child seriously.

"Got it, got it." The Blood Child smiled and admired the Mist Child, completely ignoring the meaning behind his words.

Tang Yan felt more and more uneasy as he watched. What is this old thing planning?!

The Old Ancestor casually said: "Go about your business, no need to worry about me, no need to visit often. Young people should have drive, you need to work hard. I'll be fine with this little thing for company."

In the depths of the dense forest, six figures darted through the branches, moving cautiously. Once they spotted a beast, they immediately changed direction, decisively and without hesitation.

"Stop, we're close." The leading man raised his hand to signal, and the figures behind him stopped one after another.

"How much further?" A young man stepped forward, the mottled moonlight casting a shadow on his young but resolute face—Tang Family's eldest son, Tang Qian!

The leading old man, Butler Ade, held a black jade crystal vessel and carefully sensed: "About 500 meters ahead, directly in front. If we continue forward, we'll enter their perception area. We should start now."

Tang Qian focused, having chased for two days, finally getting some news: "Start now. You four, move in the opposite direction. In half an hour, make as much noise as possible to draw their attention."

The four Tang Family guards respectfully responded and quickly disappeared into the dark night.

"Ade, there must be no mistakes this time."

"Sir, when the Treasure Pavilion built these crystal vessels, they endowed them with a special recording function to make it easier to search for the treasures inside if they were lost. This crystal vessel is the container for the Iron Grindstone Heavy Saber, which has been stored for five years and has completely recorded the aura of the Iron Grindstone. As long as the Iron Grindstone is still in Tang Qing's hands and they are still in the Illusion Forest, this crystal vessel can track its location with 100% accuracy."

"Remember the direction, we'll start now. Also, get rid of it." Tang Qian took a deep breath, feigning a panicked and disheveled appearance as he rushed into the night, deliberately running through the thorny bushes.

Ade finally sensed the position of the Iron Grindstone Heavy Saber through the crystal vessel, infused it with spiritual energy to shatter it, and feigned a similarly panicked appearance as he chased after Tang Qian.

Tang Ba, half asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, focusing on something. Tang Hao, sensing something, also opened his eyes and said coldly: "You'd better not be foolish. With the old master's favor for the second young master, if he finds out you killed him, he won't forgive you."

Tang Qing turned over, drowsily saying: "Eighth Brother, go to sleep, don't make a fuss. Listen to Fifth Sister, it's a matter of giving her husband some face, okay?"

"Who's your brother-in-law?!" Tang Hao's face showed anger.

Tang Qing mumbled: "Why are you so worked up? I didn't say it was Second Brother Qiong."

"Shut your thick lips."

"Got it, going to sleep, going to sleep."

Tang Ba ignored the two, slowly standing up, focusing on something.

"What's wrong?" Tang Qing and Tang Hao both sensed something, becoming alert, slowly standing up, and focusing. Their faces turned serious.

"Someone is approaching."

"Is it the Spirit王府 (Spirit Manor) chasing us? That's impossible, it would take at least three to five days." Tang Qing, though simple, was not foolish. They had rushed straight into the deepest part of the Illusion Forest, and the Spirit Manor would have to search bit by bit. Even using the strange fog, they would have to proceed in order, it couldn't be this fast.

"Retreat?" Tang Hao came to Tang Yan's side, ready to carry him.

"It doesn't seem like pursuers, their steps are a bit panicked. You two go, I'll stay. Don't go too far, wait for my signal." Tang Ba raised his hand to signal, and Tang Hao and Tang Qing each carried Tang Yan and Du Yang, disappearing into the depths of the forest in a blink.

Not long after, Tang Qian and Ade appeared, panting heavily, their clothes torn and bloodstained: "Uncle Ba! I'm Tang Qian, are you here?"

Ade called out loudly: "We are here on the old master's orders, with important news to report. If the three elders are here, please show yourselves quickly."

Is it them?! Tang Ba watched them coldly from the shadows. After a long moment, just as the two were about to continue searching, he slowly emerged from the darkness: "Who sent you?"

"Uncle Ba!" Tang Qian seemed very excited.

Ade bowed: "Elder, the old master sent us. After you left Giant Elephant City, the Spirit Manor people chased into the Illusion Forest. The old master was worried about further danger, so after arranging family matters, he quietly left Giant Elephant City. By the way, the old master gave us directions to come this way, saying we would definitely find you."

Tang Ba stared at them coldly for a moment, signaled to the shadows, and asked: "Where is the old master?"

"We unexpectedly encountered a Spirit Manor search team a kilometer away, including the Chief Elder Chang Tianzhu. The old master was worried they would continue searching and find you, so he deliberately revealed some aura, leading them away."

Tang Ba's face changed slightly: "How many are there?"

"Many, we don't know. The old master left with the other elders, sending us to notify you. The meaning is... hoping the three of you can go help, maybe even wipe them out!"

Tang Hao and Tang Qing returned, both looking puzzled at Tang Qian and Ade: "Why are you here?"

"The old master arranged it." Tang Ba's eyes never left Ade.

"What's wrong with the old master? Where is he?" Tang Qing quickly put down Du Yang, his face turning serious.

Ade explained truthfully, looking distressed: "Elders, don't look at me like that, I'm not here to spread false information, I don't have the nerve. Besides, without the old master's guidance, we couldn't have found you here."

At this moment, a dull sound came from the distance, and in the distance, it seemed like a battle was happening in the deep forest.

"Has it started?" Tang Qian's face changed, and he turned to rush back.

"Stay!" Tang Ba's low voice echoed, his gaze shifting uncertainly: "You lead the way, Fifth Sister stays to watch over Second Young Master."

Tang Qian quickly said: "Let us take care of it. The old master definitely needs more help. We won't be much help there, and it should be fine here. Second Brother is with me, and Ade is here, we can take care of ourselves."

Boom! Roar!! The distant battle became more intense, as if it had startled the forest beasts, their roars echoing far into the night.

"Go!!" Without a word, Tang Ba and Tang Qing dashed off. Tang Hao, full of questions, looked at Tang Qian with undisguised suspicion, but the old master's safety was paramount. He repeatedly entrusted Tang Qian to take good care of them and followed them.

Tang Qian and Ade watched them leave, the tension and urgency on their faces slowly dissipating. Their gaze turned to the nearby sleeping Tang Yan and Du Yang, becoming cold and sinister.
