282: A secluded cave in the mountains, invite you into a trap

In the mountains, by a stream, Xie Weilou washed the blood from his body and changed into a black robe.

He sat on a rock, leisurely drinking from a wine pot.

Lin Qinghuang sat beside him and looked at Xie Weilou, saying, “I met Yan Wuhai earlier.”

Xie Weilou smiled and asked, “What did he say?”

Lin Qinghuang replied, “The source of his three hundred thousand taels of disaster relief silver; why the people of Wuya Pavilion were dispatched when the Lin family was destroyed; and why the Tianya Sword was in Wuya Pavilion.”

“......”

Xie Weilou quietly waited for Lin Qinghuang to continue.

The destruction of the Lin family was Yan Wugou’s doing, but there were some mysteries involved that implicated Yan Wuhai.

For example, during the Baihe River flood, the disaster relief silver disappeared; why was Yan Wuhai able to recover the silver in such a short time, and the Lin family happened to spend three hundred thousand taels of silver?

Furthermore, after the Lin family’s destruction, why did the people of Wuya Pavilion get involved, and why did the Lin family’s treasure, the Tianya Sword, appear in Wuya Pavilion?

Lin Qinghuang’s expression was calm: “Yan Wuhai wanted to win over the Lin family, but my father refused, so he approached my second uncle.

Coincidentally, my second uncle wanted to be the head of the Lin family, so he cooperated with Yan Wuhai.

The three hundred thousand taels of silver were spent by my second uncle, and the handwriting matches the expenditure in the account books.”

“At the time of the Lin family’s destruction, Yan Wuhai received a plea for help from my second uncle.

By the time the people of Wuya Pavilion rushed to the Lin family, it was already too late.

As for the Tianya Sword, it was sent to Wuya Pavilion by a Mysterious Person.

Yan Wuhai doesn’t know the person’s background.

He has quietly sent the Tianya Sword out many times, but the sword would always be sent back…”

When Xie Weilou heard this, some of his confusion was resolved: “If I hadn’t taken the blame back then, Yan Wuhai probably would have.”

Lin Qinghuang gazed at Xie Weilou: “Don’t worry! You won’t take this blame for nothing.”

Xie Weilou smiled and did not continue the topic.

He took out the jade token, infused a stream of power into it, and a light projection appeared, showing a red dot moving rapidly.

A moment later, the red dot reached a certain location and vanished directly.

“It disappeared?”

Xie Weilou was a little surprised.

Lin Qinghuang looked at the location where the red dot disappeared, then took out a map and compared it: “The location where he disappeared is You Mountain.”

“You Mountain?”

Xie Weilou stared at the light projection.

Lin Qinghuang whispered, “You Mountain is fifty li from here.

I once read in a classic that there is a Nether Mountain Cave Heaven there, and also a formidable Nether Master.

However, that Nether Master seems to be a demon, and the fall of Northern Nether City back then involved that Nether Master.”

“If that’s the case, it’s understandable!

Since there’s a Cave Heaven there, there must be a great formation concealing it, temporarily blocking the jade token’s capture.”

Xie Weilou said with a faint smile.

As long as Yan Wugou doesn’t go to the Demon Kingdom, it doesn’t matter.

He will always be found and killed.

Even if Yan Wugou really fled to the Demon Kingdom, Xie Weilou would not let him go.

“Next, we go to You Mountain.”

Lin Qinghuang put away the map.

No matter what You Mountain or Nether Master, today Yan Wugou must be killed; no one can stop it.

Xie Weilou showed a thoughtful expression: “Why do you think Yan Wugou went to You Mountain?”

“Perhaps he wants to set up a trap there, a ‘please come into my urn’ situation!”

Lin Qinghuang’s expression was composed.

“That’s right, he will definitely set up a killing trap there.

At the Northern You Alliance, we are not the only ones who want to kill him; there are also his brothers and sisters.

With his caution, how could he not know of such killing intent?

So, his trip to You Mountain this time is most likely to set up a trap, waiting for those who go to kill him to walk right into it.”

The corners of Xie Weilou’s mouth curved slightly upward.

Nether Mountain Cave Heaven has a formidable Nether Master, whose realm is unknown.

If the people sent by Yan Junlin and others rashly enter Nether Mountain Cave Heaven, their fate will certainly not be good.

“It doesn’t matter.

No matter what his plans are today, he is destined to die.”

Lin Qinghuang’s eyes flashed with cold light.

Using himself as bait, wanting to catch a big fish, isn’t he afraid of catching a giant crocodile instead?

“Then let’s go to You Mountain!”

Xie Weilou stood up and put away the jade token.

The two transformed into afterimages and instantly disappeared from the spot…

At the same time, in Nether Mountain Cave Heaven.

Clouds and mist swirled, like a fairyland, with white cranes dancing and emitting crisp sounds.

In a pavilion, Yan Wugou, dressed in a gray robe, was drinking with a middle-aged man in a black robe with scales on his forehead.

This middle-aged man was the Nether Master of Nether Mountain Cave Heaven, a Viper Demon King, with a cultivation at the Dragon Transformation Realm Peak.

Two demon women were massaging the Nether Master’s back.

He glanced indifferently at Yan Wugou, toying with his wine cup: “Only because you have half demon blood do I allow you to enter Nether Mountain Cave Heaven.

Now, I hope you give me a satisfactory answer.”

Yan Wugou drank a cup of wine, put it down, and said with a faint smile: “Cave Master, you have been stuck at the Dragon Transformation Realm Peak for many years.

Have you found the opportunity to enter the Divine Court Realm?”

The Nether Master said indifferently: “This Cave Master is not interested in beating around the bush with you.

Whatever you want to say, you’d better say it quickly.”

Yan Wugou took out a map and handed it to the Nether Master: “Cave Master, you should have heard of Phoenix Perch Mountain, right?”

“Phoenix Perch Mountain?”

The Nether Master’s pupils contracted.

Of course, he had heard of Phoenix Perch Mountain.

Legend has it that on the border between the Demon Kingdom and Great Xia, there is a mysterious Phoenix Perch Mountain, where a divine phoenix once resided, leaving behind a heaven-defying opportunity.

However, no one has ever truly seen Phoenix Perch Mountain.

“This map can help you find Phoenix Perch Mountain.

Cave Master, you have been stuck at the Dragon Transformation Realm Peak for many years.

If you ascend Phoenix Perch Mountain and find some good fortune, entering the Divine Court Realm is almost certain.”

Yan Wugou smiled calmly.

The Nether Master immediately took the map, carefully looked at it, then gazed at Yan Wugou: “Why do you have this map?”

Yan Wugou explained: “This map comes from the Great Xia imperial family.

Cave Master, you might not know this, but before this, our Great Xia’s Marquis Ye and others ascended Phoenix Perch Mountain and even obtained a lump of Phoenix Blood…”

Ye Guhong’s Dragon Phoenix Blood came from Phoenix Perch Mountain.

“Phoenix Blood!”

The Nether Master’s body trembled, and his breathing became somewhat rapid.

As a demon, he naturally understood how precious the blood of powerful beings was.

If he could obtain Phoenix Blood, he would definitely be able to undergo a nirvana and directly enter the Divine Court Realm.

Yan Wugou continued: “As far as I know, Marquis Ye only stepped onto the periphery of Phoenix Perch Mountain.

She didn’t obtain too many things.

Above Phoenix Perch Mountain, countless great fortunes are still hidden.”

The Nether Master gripped the map tightly and looked coldly at Yan Wugou: “Then how do I know how much of what you say is true and how much is false?

You are, after all, a prince of the Great Xia imperial family.”

Yan Wugou’s smile did not diminish: “Cave Master just said it, I have half demon blood.

Within Great Xia, demons are forbidden; there is no place for me.

One day, I will go to the Demon Kingdom.

As a part of the Demon Kingdom, I have no need to lie to you.”

“I wouldn’t dare to.”

The Nether Master gave a cold laugh and then asked, “Are you giving me this map because you want me to do something for you?”
