Drawing Shan Yue Out

Outside the <Four Symbols Reversal Formation>, a figure suddenly appeared.

Song Wen left but returned.

"I never imagined that Young Master Xing would be such a filial son."

The Xing Chang looked utterly shocked. "Why didn't you leave?"

Song Wen said coldly, "Hand over the Message Jade Slip for the Shan Yue!"

Xing Chang's face turned deathly pale instantly, his eyes filled with terror, but he still forced himself to stay upright.

"That's impossible! Even if you kill me, I will not hand over my mother's Message Jade Slip."

A cruel smile crept onto Song Wen's face.

"Want to die? Not so easy."

A small insect flapped its wings and flew out of Song Wen's mouth.

"These are Gu Worm I raise, which love to eat all living things. It is said that human lungs have the ability to regenerate, and I am very curious about this. As Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, Young Master Xing has a strong physical body, so his recovery ability should be quite good. I wonder how long it will take for his lungs to regenerate after half of them have been eaten."

The Xing Chang's eyes widened like copper bells, and his body trembled involuntarily, like a leaf swaying in the wind.

"Hand over the Message Jade Slip for the Shan Yue. Once you have the <Soul-Concentrating Spike>, I will let you go back," Song Wen said.

Xing Chang was greedy for life; he would give anything to stay alive and survive.

Dignity, freedom, kinship...

The only thing that could keep him going was his mother.

Song Wen's words were like the whispers of a demon, striking the most vulnerable spot in his heart.

Xing Chang felt as if he had seen a glimmer of dawn in the darkest moment.

"Are you serious? You really going to let me and my mother go?"

Song Wen said, "I only want the <Soul-Concentrating Spike> Cultivation Method. What good would killing you do me? Besides, you and Shan Yue both have soul imprints on you. Killing you will only bring me endless trouble."

Xing Chang said, "Take out all the Message Jade Slip from my storage ring, and I'll tell you which one is my mother's."

As instructed, Song Wen took out all ten or so Message Jade Slip from his storage ring and had them float in the air in front of Song Wen.

Xing Chang pointed to one of them and said, "This one belongs to my mother."

Song Wen put away all the Jade Slip. "I hope you're telling the truth this time, otherwise, I'll make you wish you were dead."

After saying that, Song Wen walked into the formation and knocked Xing Chang and Xing Xinxin unconscious.

[Madam Xing, Xing Chang is in grave danger, trapped in a Poison Grotto. This matter involves Miss Xing Xinxin. For the sake of Xing Chang Xing's safety and reputation, Madam Xing, please do not make this public. If you wish to rescue Xing Chang, come quickly to the western outskirts of Fangzhu City.]

Early in the morning, Xing Chang hurriedly went out, and Shan Yue had not seen her son for most of the day. As it grew late and her son still hadn't returned, Shan Yue couldn't help but worry.

Just as she was about to use the Message Jade Slip to contact her son, she suddenly received this message.

My heart tightened Shan Yue.

Has something happened to my son?

Who is using their son's Message Jade Slip to contact them?

The cultivation aura transmitted from the Message Jade Slip seemed somewhat familiar.

She felt like she'd seen this person somewhere before.

I just can't remember it right now.

Shan Yue was arrogant and looked down on Wei Ding, so naturally she wouldn't pay attention to the aura of this Rogue Cultivator.

[Who are you?]

Try to remain calm Shan Yue and reply to the message.

[Madam Xing is indeed a person of high status with a short memory; she doesn't even remember me!]

The dissatisfaction and anger in her words were palpable, which made Shan Yue even more worried.

Who exactly are you?

[I am merely a messenger; Madam Xing need not know who I am. Take 100,000 Spirit Stone... no! 100 Superior Spirit Stones, and come alone to the western suburbs.]

Someone actually tried to extort money from the Xing Family! When has Shan Yue ever suffered such humiliation?!

Qi and Blood rushes to the head!

Shan Yue was so angry that her eyes blazed with fury, and her hand holding the Jade Slip trembled.

She, who has always lacked her own opinions, was thrown into a panic by the sudden situation.

She immediately sent someone to inform Xing Gaohan of everything, for only with Xing Gaohan could she find some support.

At this moment, another message came from the Jade Slip.

[This matter arose because Xing Chang hired someone to murder Xing Xinxin. Once the truth came out, Xing Family Xing Chang. ]

These words instantly brought Shan Yue to her senses.

The conflict between Xing Chang and Xing Xinxin has a long history.

Just yesterday, Xing Chang was publicly beaten by Xing Xinxin, causing him to lose face in front of many cultivators in Fangzhu City.

Given Xing Chang's vindictive nature, Shan Yue, who knew Xing Chang's temperament well, wasn't surprised that he would hire someone to commit murder.

If what the other party said is true, once the Xing Family finds out, Xing Chang, an illegitimate son, will definitely be punished according to family rules for murdering the legitimate daughter, and will be executed in public.

Shan Yue didn't have time to think too much, and without even taking a maid, she flew west on her sword.

To avoid being recognized, she disguised herself by wearing a veil over her face.

The veil was a high-grade Spirit Artifact that could conceal her face and aura.

There were many cultivators coming and going in the western suburbs. Shan Yue stood in mid-air, looked around, but couldn't find out who had contacted her.

She had no choice but to take out the Message Jade Slip again.

I've arrived in the western suburbs, where are you?

[You broke your promise and informed the Xing Family of the matter, secretly bringing Xing Family cultivators with you. This matter is settled here. The Xing Family can search for Xing Chang's whereabouts at their leisure. But be quick, he may not last much longer.]

Upon seeing this message, Shan Yue felt extremely anxious and speechless.

When did she bring the Xing Family members with her?

The other party is talking nonsense!

[I didn't notify the Xing Family. I stood in mid-air, and you should be able to easily see that I was alone.]

[Who knows if any members of the Xing Family are lurking in the shadows?]

What will it take for you to believe me?

Shan Yue was so anxious that her eyes were already brimming with tears.

[Unless you swear Soul Oath that you are not lying!]

Without hesitation, Shan Yue made Soul Oath.

[I'm on Small Earthen Slope about ten miles southwest of you. Come over here.]

On the Shan Yue, he rode his sword southwestward.

Upon arriving at the Small Earthen Slope, we indeed saw a person standing on Small Earthen Slope.

"Wei Ding, it's you."

When Shan Yue saw Song Wen, a hint of anger was clearly visible on her face.

"Wei Ding, immediately tell me the whole story."

Without waiting for Song Wen to reply, Shan Yue urged him in a commanding tone.

Song Wen said, "Young Master Xing hired a poison cultivator at great expense to assassinate Xing Xinxin in order to take revenge on Xing Xinxin. However, the poison cultivator was insatiable. Instead of killing Xing Xinxin, he captured her alive and took her back to his Poison Grotto."

"The poison cultivator threatened to expose Young Master Xing's massacre of his own kind, forcing Young Master Xing to hand over more Spirit Stone. Unable to do so, Young Master Xing had no choice but to take me with him to the Poison Grotto to negotiate with the poison cultivator."

"Young Master Xing and the poison cultivator failed to reach an agreement, and a great battle broke out between them. The poison cultivator was more powerful, but Young Master Xing had a Law Power shield to protect himself, so he was able to defend himself."

"While the two were fighting, I cured Xing Xinxin of the poison. Xing Xinxin activated a 'Soul-Severing Talisman' and killed the poison cultivator. As the poison cultivator lay dying, he activated an array that trapped Young Master Xing and Xing Xinxin."

Song Wen then revealed the story he had prepared long ago.
