Chapter 2035 - 21: The Brightest Star
Looking into Jing Mingyu’s cold and sharp eyes, Ao Cangsheng smiled and said.
"If I leave, you should consider your own safety!"
Jing Mingyu coldly said a sentence, then turned around and walked to the left of the exit.
"Yes, I should protect my own safety. However, the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion also needs to consider the issue of the Life-extending Pills this time."
"I suppose you don’t want to see the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion. The other nine powers on the left all know about the Life-saving Pill, right?"
Ao Cangsheng sneered as if he was trying to threaten.
Hearing this, Jing Mingyu was taken aback.
Immediately, he took out a jade talisman and gently placed it into the left side of the wall.
The next moment, a green light suddenly lit up at the ruins’ exit.
The green light immediately covered the entire exit. When the light reached its brightest, the opposite wall began to tremble.
Then the ground shook, and the entire wall facing Ao Cangsheng slowly moved back.
"Hush——"
At this moment, the green light suddenly disappeared, and a white light suddenly shone into Ao Cangsheng’s eyes.
Upon closer inspection, Ao Cangsheng discovered that the white light was the light from outside the ruins.
"Bang——"
When the wall of the mountain was completely removed, Ao Cangsheng found that a huge mountain was blocking the exit of the ruins.
This mountain was enormous, about forty or fifty feet high. When it moved, it felt like an earthquake.
Seeing the mountain slowly move away, Ao Cangsheng no longer paid attention to Jing Mingyu; he flashed out and swept away.
It wasn’t until Ao Cangsheng swept away the ruins and disappeared from sight that Jing Mingyu suddenly took a deep breath.
At this moment, a golden sun had just crept over the mountaintop, shining on Jing Mingyu’s forehead.
The cold sweat on Jing Mingyu’s forehead was particularly evident.
Opening the artifact exit, for Ao Cangsheng, only took two or three breaths.
But for Jing Mingyu, it felt like a year.
Because he was truly afraid Ao Cangsheng would betray him. After the ruins were opened, he might suddenly kill him.
Although Ao Cangsheng had said he would release the crystal.
But if you suspect, how can you trust Ao Cangsheng’s words?
Thus, during these breaths, Jing Mingyu’s heart nearly stopped beating.
His entire body was tense, ready to fight at any moment.
However, to Jing Mingyu’s surprise, Ao Cangsheng actually let him go.
It wasn’t until Ao Cangsheng completely left that Jing Mingyu’s tightly stretched heartstrings suddenly released.
At this point, he felt weak, almost falling to the ground.
After Ao Cangsheng left the remains of the Dan King, he changed his expression as he headed towards the Golden Palace.
At this time, Ao Cangsheng had already been inside the Dan King’s ruins for three days.
In Qianye City, many people were discussing which of the eight major powers would find more treasures during this Dan King inheritance journey.
Of course, the people of the eight major powers had been waiting for the alchemists to return these past few days.
Their spirits were high, and their expectations were urgent.
In their view, regardless of the outcome of this trip, their families would gain something.
But no one expected that the so-called Dan King’s inheritance journey was actually a conspiracy.
On this day, Nangong Shouhong was thinking as usual. After finishing his morning training, he went to the Alchemy Room to practice alchemy.
As for Nangong Mengyu, because her heart was tied to Ao Cangsheng, she was always listening.
"Old gate tooth, I’m giving you a pot of wine today. I’ll send it to you when I get back!"
Nangong Mengyu flashed by, and a crisp voice came from afar.
After a while, Nangong Mengyu arrived at her father’s residence.
In order not to let others see her thoughts, Nangong Mengyu switched to walking slowly into the mansion after she arrived.
As Nangong Shouhong’s banquet hall slowly appeared in Nangong Mengyu’s view, her heartbeat also accelerated.
Although she really wanted to see Ao Cangsheng, she seemed afraid that Ao Cangsheng could see through her thoughts.
This conflicting mentality made Nangong Mengyu very conflicted.
It wasn’t until Nangong Mengyu arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall that her cheeks gradually turned red.
Standing outside the hall, after calming down a bit, Nangong Mengyu slowly walked into the hall.
Before entering the hall, two figures appeared in Nangong Mengyu’s field of vision.
The person on the left was dressed in purple, with tiger eyes and a dragon-shaped form, and his long beard under his chin gently swayed. Who could it be but her father?
As for the young man in white on the right, he was the newly arrived master of the household, Ao Cangsheng.
"Young Master Ao, are you back? Why didn’t you let me know?"
Nangong Mengyu said in surprise upon seeing Ao Cangsheng.
But this look of surprise carried a hint of anger.
At this moment, Nangong Mengyu’s performance could be said to be the most genuine.
Even the teared-eyed Nangong Shouhong was fooled by his daughter’s behavior.
"I just got back. I was about to talk to the head of the courtyard, and you came!"
Ao Cangsheng smiled awkwardly, at a loss for what to do.
"Oh, is that so! Then you must have discovered a lot of treasures on this trip to inherit the Dan King?"
To prevent Ao Cangsheng from noticing her embarrassment, Nangong Mengyu quickly took over the conversation again.
"This..."
As soon as the treasure was mentioned, a trace of helplessness and annoyance immediately appeared on Ao Cangsheng’s face.
Taking this opportunity, Nangong Mengyu quickly sat on the chair next to Ao Cangsheng.
"Yu’er, don’t embarrass me anymore. Actually, this trip wasn’t as smooth as you think.
Seeing Ao Cangsheng’s face change slightly, Nangong Shouhong immediately interrupted his daughter’s words.
"Why, were there obstacles on this trip?"
Nangong Mengyu frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.
Nangong Shouhong didn’t speak, but he once again turned his gaze to Ao Cangsheng.
After the meal, Ao Cangsheng said, "Actually, the so-called inheritance of the Dan King was just a conspiracy."
As soon as this sentence came out, not only Nangong Mengyu, but also Nangong Shouhong was stunned.
"What did you say?"
After some astonishment, Nangong Shouhong hurriedly asked.
Ao Cangsheng’s eyes sank, then he simply explained the truth of the Dan King’s inheritance to Nangong Shouhong’s father and daughter.
After Ao Cangsheng finished speaking, the faces of Nangong Shouhong and Nangong Mengyu turned ashen.
"The Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion is too despicable, wanting to use the ten alchemists for their alchemy!"
Nangong Shouhong punched the box on the table, eyes filled with anger and hatred.
You know, in this journey of the Dan King’s inheritance, their Golden Palace sent two alchemists.
Ao Cangsheng was a genius offspring in whom Nangong Shouhong placed his infinite hope.
If he fell into the Dan King’s inheritance, it would not only be a huge loss for the Golden Palace but also an immeasurable loss to the Alchemy World.
Fortunately, Ao Cangsheng’s life was to be cherished. He managed to escape the Dan King’s inheritance, preventing Nangong Shouhong from being angry on the spot.
Compared to Nangong Shouhong, Nangong Mengyu’s anger towards the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion was several times stronger.
Besides anger, Nangong Mengyu also felt a strong sense of fear.
She hardly dared to recall the scene of Ao Cangsheng falling, because she feared she would suddenly burst into tears.
But even so, at this moment, Nangong Mengyu had a deep hatred towards the Heavenly Palace.
Nangong Shouhong, having calmed his anger, said, "Now that the secret of the Heavenly Court has been revealed, I’m afraid your situation will be very dangerous in the future."
Nangong Shouhong said calmly, with a slight pause.
Because Ao Cangsheng had to go to practice, Nangong Mengyu didn’t guide the alchemists’ methods.
That day, Ao Cangsheng stayed in his cultivation room all day.
He did nothing for the entire day, almost constantly practicing.
