Originally, no wonder I searched the entire Donglai Sect without finding Yaoyao’s trace! I didn’t expect her to be hidden in the Storage Ring by this old guy!” Qi Fengchen was incredibly shocked. She didn’t expect anyone in this world to be as cunning as half of her. Indeed, the older the ginger, the spicier it is.
“No need to look, the strength of this Cat Spirit has reached the middle stage of the Demon Realm, which is similar to mine, so it’s better to be careful.”
Ye Donglai said again.
“What? Her strength is comparable to yours? No wonder she could steal all over the Cultivation World of the Xihui Dynasty! Then how did you capture her?”
Cheng Kang asked in shock.
“Do you still remember the feather of a Heavenly Punishment Realm fierce beast that Master had? As long as it is taken out, it will attract the Heavenly Tribulation.”
Ye Donglai reminded him.
“You captured her with the Heavenly Tribulation? But I heard that the Heavenly Tribulation is extremely powerful, how can you control it?”
Cheng Kang was astonished.
“Why would I need a Heavenly Tribulation to capture her? Just the Heavenly Might is enough! I, your master, collected some Sky-Concealing Water in the early years. As long as I dilute and sprinkle some on my body in advance, I will not be suppressed by the Heavenly Might.”
Ye Donglai said proudly.
“Sky-Concealing Water?”
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was mindful. Qi Fengchen’s beautiful eyes suddenly widened with surprise. She didn’t expect to have an unexpected joy by coming to the Donglai Sect. After all, Sky-Concealing Water was also an item she urgently needed. As long as she could obtain it, she could break through to the Heavenly Punishment Realm without any worries.
“I understand. Master sprinkled some Sky-Concealing Water on himself in advance, and when he encountered the Cat Spirit, he took out the feather of the fierce beast. When the Heavenly Might descended to suppress her, you would put away the feather.”
Cheng Kang immediately understood.
“Yes, although it is only the Heavenly Might before the Heavenly Tribulation arrives, it is very difficult for cultivators in the Heavenly Punishment Realm to deal with it, let alone a Cat Spirit in the middle stage of the Demon Realm.”
Ye Donglai said with a proud smile.
“Disciple is truly enlightened! This is equivalent to using the Heavenly Tribulation in disguise. I’m afraid even cultivators in the Heavenly Punishment Realm will have to retreat three steps when they meet you.”
Cheng Kang exclaimed.
Qi Fengchen’s heart also stirred with immense waves. She didn’t expect those few items combined could be used this way, it was simply a great killer.
“It’s not that simple. Sky-Concealing Water is extremely rare, and my collection is limited. I must keep some to shield myself from the Heavenly Tribulation when I advance to the Heavenly Punishment Realm in the future, and I can’t use it elsewhere.”
Ye Donglai explained.
“That’s true. I heard that the super immortal sects and cultivation noble families in Zhongzhou fought tooth and nail for it.”
Cheng Kang said thoughtfully.
“Of course, if cultivators in the Heavenly Punishment Realm don’t have it, they will attract the Heavenly Tribulation in an instant. So, this thing can completely be said to be their lifesaver. I was lucky enough to get a small bottle by chance.”
Ye Donglai sighed.
“It seems Master has paid a great price to deal with this cat spirit, so we must obtain the whereabouts of those Nine Nether Demonic Cats from her mouth, otherwise it will not be worth the loss.”
Cheng Kang suggested.
Cheng Kang had set a trap.
“Yes, so I had one of my clones stay in the Storage Ring to interrogate her, but this cat spirit’s mouth is very hard, and I don’t know when she will open it.”
Ye Donglai shook his head helplessly.
“If it were a woman, then this disciple might be able to help, but she is just a Cat Spirit, so I can’t help.”
Cheng Kang shrugged.
The conversation between master and disciple ended here, and Cheng Kang also left the room.
……
“Sister Qi Huang, did you hear? My sister was hidden in the ring by that old man.”
Mimi excitedly shook Qi Huang’s arm.
“Don’t worry, let me think of a way.”
Qi Huang quickly comforted her and began to rack her brains.
After a long time, Qi Huang had two strategies in mind. First, to steal Ye Donglai’s Storage Ring directly. The drawback of this method is that the risk is very high, after all, the Storage Ring is carried by the other party. If it fails, there will be no second chance; Second, take a roundabout route, first get Ye Donglai’s “Sky-Concealing Water”, so that the other party loses the ability to summon the Heavenly Tribulation, and then she can advance to the Heavenly Punishment Realm with the Sky-Concealing Water, and it will be much easier to deal with this old man at that time.
Qi Huang weighed the pros and cons and resolutely chose the second method. The reason is very simple: this method not only has much less risk, but also the gains are immeasurable if successful.
“But the problem is, where did this old fox hide the Sky-Concealing Water?”
Qi Huang became a little troubled. If Yaoyao had not been captured by the other party, she could have slowly watched and investigated with the Recording Mirror, but now the situation is critical, and she absolutely cannot just wait like this.
“If I can find a way to make that old fox take out the Sky-Concealing Water, I will naturally know where he hid it.”
Qi Huang murmured to herself, her eyes lit up, and she quickly took out the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone from the Storage Ring.
“Grind the ink for me! I have a way to save your sister.”
Qi Huang said to Mimi beside her.
“Really?”
Mimi was overjoyed and quickly helped Qi Huang grind the ink.
Qi Huang picked up the brush and began to write quickly, looking confident.
Mimi watched curiously, then subconsciously read out the contents of the paper: “Respected Elder Ye, I learned that you have some Sky-Concealing Water and am very interested. May I sell some to me?”
This was all that Qi Huang had written. Indeed, what she wanted to do was to alert the snake while it was still in its lair, and make the other party actively reveal flaws.
Qi Huang put away the letter and urged Mimi beside her: “Hurry into the Storage Ring, I’m going to act.”
“Sister Qi Huang, don’t you need my help?”
Mimi asked quickly.
“Stop talking nonsense, hurry up!”
Qi Huang urged impatiently.
Mimi did not dare to delay any longer,
and entered the Storage Ring.
Qi Huang left the inn, found the post station in the town, and hired someone to deliver the letter to the Donglai Sect.
Qi Huang then returned to the inn, took out the Recording Mirror, and began to monitor the messenger.
The messenger quickly delivered the letter to the Donglai Sect, and then it was handed over to Ye Donglai by a disciple.
“Someone wrote me a letter? Who?”
Ye Donglai asked, looking at the anonymous letter in his hand with a puzzled expression. However, he relied on his high martial arts and boldness, quickly opened the envelope, and began to read the contents of the letter.
“How is this possible?”
A moment later, Ye Donglai’s face changed drastically, and then he extended his left hand. A small wooden box appeared out of thin air in his palm.
“Strange, I only told Cheng Kang about my Sky-Concealing Water, how did others know? Could it be that I accidentally let someone see it with their Spiritual Sense when I took it out and put it back in?”
Ye Donglai opened the wooden box, and a small jade bottle, about the thickness of an adult man’s thumb, lay inside.
“Is this the Sky-Concealing Water? I didn’t expect it to be hidden in the Storage Ring!”
Qi Huang was overjoyed, but then a trace of worry appeared on her brow: “Don’t put it back! Otherwise, if he carries the Storage Ring with him, it will be as difficult as reaching the sky for me to steal this Sky-Concealing Water!”
As it turned out, Qi Huang’s worries were unnecessary. Ye Donglai, who had lived for hundreds of years, understood the principle that caution is the parent of safety. How could he continue to put the Sky-Concealing Water into the Storage Ring?
“I can’t put it in the Storage Ring anymore, otherwise what if something unexpected happens?”
Ye Donglai murmured to himself, then walked to the wall with the wooden box and pushed open the closet.
Qi Huang observed carefully and found that the wall behind was bare and there was nothing on it, which made her a little confused.
At this moment, Ye Donglai pulled out a brick from the wall, then grasped a handle inside and pulled it outwards. The wall opened like a door, revealing a space the size of a sedan chair inside.
Qi Huang looked around in surprise and found that this secret compartment was filled with boxes of various sizes, some of which were even emitting colorful light outwards, indicating that they were not ordinary items.
Qi Huang did not rashly use her Spiritual Sense to explore, because the inner wall of this secret compartment was pasted with a Talisman, and judging from the Talisman script, it was a Body Protection Talisman containing a Spiritual Sense Shield.
Ye Donglai then put the wooden box inside and closed the secret compartment again.
Qi Huang smiled when she saw this. She never expected that her move would be so effective. It not only had the effect of “alarming the snake while it is still in its lair” but also successfully made the other party move the location of the Sky-Concealing Water, making it much easier for her to steal it.
Ye Donglai also did not expect that one day he would suffer a great loss due to his caution and prudence!
Next, Qi Huang will find a way to get that wooden box. As long as she gets the Sky-Concealing Water, she can break through to the Heavenly Stage without any scruples. At that time, she will let that old fox Ye Donglai know how powerful she is.
