Chapter 511: An Unforgivable Outrage
"No need. You can stay and eat with us."
Jiang Xinghai could easily tell from the exchanged glances between Lao Deng and the two women that they were planning to warm his bed for him again, even in broad daylight.
If he weren’t in a hurry, he would have gone along with it.
But time was tight. He wouldn’t be able to finish in a short while, and wouldn’t that make him late for his flight?
While eating breakfast, Jiang Xinghai continued to look over the documents Lao Deng had brought.
’Gu-in-Gu, Tripod Furnace!’
When Jiang Xinghai read the last page, which described the most likely outcome of the Gu-in-Gu, his brow furrowed even deeper.
Yu Li was in a very bad situation. By his calculations, she only had two weeks left!
He had originally thought that once the time was up, the Gu-in-Gu inside Yu Li would fully activate.
But now it seemed Qiao Sihai was actually treating Yu Li as his Tripod Furnace!
On the path of cultivation, there are all sorts of methods.
And planting a Gu in a woman’s body, refining her into one’s own Tripod Furnace, and then absorbing her essence could double one’s strength!
This led Jiang Xinghai to conclude that Yu Li couldn’t have an ordinary constitution; she must have an Extreme Yin Body!
He had once tried to examine Yu Li’s constitution, but perhaps because of the Poisonous Insect inside her, he hadn’t been able to determine it.
But based on the information he had now, only an Extreme Yin Body was suitable for Raising Gu!
This was Qiao Sihai’s scheme!
Wait for the Poisonous Insect to mature, then absorb all of Yu Li’s special energy...
There was no time to lose.
Jiang Xinghai dialed Yu Li’s number in Shanhe Province.
"Great Divine Doctor Jiang, do you have any news?" Yu Li had been staying home for the past few days, quietly waiting for word from Jiang Xinghai.
"Qiao Sihai isn’t in Kun City. It’s highly likely he’s still in Shanhe Province. From now on, the Yu Family must strengthen its security. Don’t leave the Yu Family estate, and more importantly, don’t meet with any outsiders until I get back," Jiang Xinghai instructed.
"This..." Yu Li could hear the gravity in Jiang Xinghai’s tone. "Okay, I can do that."
"Alright then. I should be able to get back tonight. I’ll contact you then." Jiang Xinghai didn’t say much more and hung up.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
It wasn’t just that he was helping Yu Li because of their business partnership.
Qiao Sihai’s methods alone, no matter which woman was the victim, were a violation of the Celestial Dao!
Although his own cultivation of the Dragon Locking Secret Technique also involved absorbing Primordial Yin Qi, it didn’t harm women. In fact, it could even bring them unexpected benefits!
But what Qiao Sihai was doing was an unforgivable crime against nature!
"Lao Deng, even though Qiao Sihai isn’t in Kun City, the Qiao Family is still here!"
Jiang Xinghai knew that a cultivation method so against nature likely wasn’t practiced by Qiao Sihai alone!
"That’s right, the Qiao Family is indeed here. And it’s common knowledge that the Qiao Family has a 300-year-old tradition of Gu Technique."
Lao Deng saw what Jiang Xinghai was thinking and shook his head. "However, it won’t be easy to wipe out the entire Qiao Family."
"Not even with my second senior sister’s connections?" Jiang Xinghai asked in a low voice.
Lao Deng gave a slight, bitter smile. "We’ve all witnessed General Zhong’s methods; they are formidable, of course. But the Qiao Family’s Gu Technique has been passed down for over three hundred years. Its power cannot be underestimated."
Jiang Xinghai fell silent, but inside, his mind was a storm of crashing waves.
He of course understood what Lao Deng meant. A 300-year-old tradition of Gu Technique implied that the Qiao Family’s strength and foundation were incredibly deep.
Wiping them out in one fell swoop would indeed not be easy.
"However..."
Lao Deng’s tone suddenly shifted. "It’s not like we’re completely without a chance."
"A chance?" Jiang Xinghai’s eyes lit up.
"The Qiao Family’s Gu Technique may be powerful, but it has a fatal weakness," Lao Deng said slowly.
’A weakness?’ Jiang Xinghai wondered.
"That’s right." Lao Deng nodded. "The Qiao Family’s Gu Technique requires them to use Poisonous Insects to control others, and cultivating those Poisonous Insects consumes a great deal of time and energy."
Hearing this, Jiang Xinghai instantly understood.
The Qiao Family needed a lot of time to cultivate their Poisonous Insects. That was their weakness.
If they were to strike at that stage of the process, they could surely catch them off guard.
But that presented another problem.
How could he afford to spend so much time here?
"Lao Deng, change my flight. Book one for after 5 PM."
Jiang Xinghai knew he wouldn’t make the flight that was in two hours.
If he wanted to wipe out the Qiao Family using Lao Deng’s method, it would take a long time—at least a month.
Therefore, he decided to win with force after all!
"Young Master Jiang, are you thinking...?" Lao Deng understood Jiang Xinghai’s intention.
"That’s right."
Jiang Xinghai gave a knowing smile and said, "My Kunlun Lineage may be peerless in Medical Martial Arts, but after working with medicine for so long, we’ve also become skilled with poisons. If I use my poisons against the Qiao Family’s Gu, I should have a chance."
"But... I should inform General Zhong first," Lao Deng mused.
"No need."
Jiang Xinghai shook his head decisively. "From now on, we go our separate ways. What I do next is my own business as Jiang Xinghai, and it has nothing to do with any of you. Go."
"Young Master Jiang!" Lao Deng cried out in alarm.
Bai and Zhi had the same shocked reaction.
Jiang Xinghai was planning to charge into the tiger’s den alone and wanted to sever all ties with them and the War Department!
