201: Chapter 201 Reunion with Song Yao

"Thank you, Supreme Qin!"

Hearing that Qin Chuan was still willing to take action, Xu Yuanlong said gratefully.

In truth, this information of his was indeed already of little use. Now that the Song Family had long been wiped out, trying to find the yin-ming stone through them was far too difficult.

When he came, he hadn't held much hope, but if it succeeded, wouldn't it save his daughter's life?

"Mr. Qin, I remember there is still one person from the Song Family alive, and that is Song Yao..."

Ye Nantian immediately thought of Song Yao, but quickly frowned. "However, after the Song Family was destroyed, Song Yao's whereabouts became unknown. Given her state, she is in all likelihood already dead, right?"

"Does that not mean it's impossible to find this yin-ming stone at all?" Xu Yuanlong couldn't help but say.

"Trying to use the Song Family as a clue is almost an impossible task," Ye Nantian said, shaking his head.

Qin Chuan did not continue this topic.

"What is the situation with your daughter?"

Deal first, ask for details later.

Xu Yuanlong immediately explained his daughter's situation in full detail.

The Ghost Sect of Central Continent!

As everyone knew, Central Continent was the capital of martial arts. Although there were only a few top Martial Arts Families, there were countless other Martial Arts Families, along with some martial arts Sects.

The Ghost Sect was one of them.

And Xu Yuanlong's daughter had been captured by the people of the Ghost Sect. Not only her, but many young girls from Xuzhou had also been taken.

Xu Yuanlong had also tried to rescue her, but he was beaten back before he could even step through the front gates. Thus, upon learning that Qin Chuan was willing to exchange spirit tea for Magical Artifacts, he thought of the yin-ming stone and came to Jinling to beg for Qin Chuan's help.

"I understand, but before that, I need to find someone."

Qin Chuan walked toward the door.

"Mr. Qin, who?" Ye Nantian asked in surprise.

"Song Yao!"

As his voice fell, Qin Chuan vanished from where he stood.

In all of Jinling, even Lu Zhengrong could not find Song Yao's location, but Qin Chuan could. He had left a trace of energy inside Song Yao's body, and it was precisely this energy that had turned her into an old woman.

Guard Alliance.

Secret room.

Crack, crack, crack, crack...

The whipping continued.

As if unable to fully vent her anger, Qi Bingbing lashed Song Yao's body whip after whip.

"I heard you were once Qin Chuan's woman?"

"Haha..."

"You pathetic wretch, now you can only be my prisoner!"

"To be used for my venting!"

It seemed that as long as she brutally abused Song Yao, Qi Bingbing could find unprecedented mental satisfaction.

"Why... don't you just kill me?"

Song Yao's voice was very faint and extremely weak, as if she might draw her last breath at any moment.

"Don't worry, I won't let you die so quickly."

Qi Bingbing wore a cruel smile. "If you die, on whom will I vent my anger?"

"You are Qin Chuan's former fiancée, after all. Using you to vent my anger is truly satisfying!"

Saying this, she walked up to Song Yao and stuffed a pill into her mouth.

This was to help Song Yao recover from some of her injuries.

This was also why Song Yao had not died despite being abused for so long.

Although the pill's healing effects were limited, keeping Song Yao alive was not a problem.

Besides, the lashings were mostly superficial wounds.

"Don't worry, I will come every single day!"

After saying this, Qi Bingbing hung the whip on the wall. She had just opened the door of the secret room to leave when a figure stood outside the door.

Upon seeing the figure clearly, Qi Bingbing's face instantly turned deathly pale. She retreated several steps, stumbled, and fell to the ground, her face filled with terror and shock.

"You... how did you get here?"

The figure outside the door was none other than Qin Chuan.

Without even glancing at Qi Bingbing, Qin Chuan walked straight into the secret room and looked at Song Yao, who was on the verge of death in the corner.

Song Yao also raised her head slightly at this moment. Upon seeing Qin Chuan, shock and a trace of fear clearly appeared on her aged face, a fear that seemed to stem from the very marrow of her bones.

Even if she still held hatred for Qin Chuan, at this moment, fear overrode everything else!

"Do you know of the yin-ming stone?" Qin Chuan's voice sounded indifferently.

"The yin-ming stone..." Song Yao muttered, seemingly realizing what it was very quickly. "I... of course I know... Do you want to know the whereabouts of the yin-ming stone?"

Qin Chuan just stared at her without replying.

But no reply was the best answer.

"I can tell you about the yin-ming stone, but you must help me restore my original appearance..." Song Yao knew this was the only chance she would ever have in this lifetime.

If she missed it, she would probably find it very difficult to ever see Qin Chuan again in this life.

She knew very well that the only one who could restore her was Qin Chuan.

"Fine!"

Qin Chuan agreed directly. Reaching out, he made Song Yao float before him. Then, with a pull of his palm, a trace of energy flew out from Song Yao's body and returned to his hand.

In the next moment.

Changes occurred on Song Yao's body that were visible to the naked eye. Her once snow-white hair and aged appearance gradually became young and beautiful...

In less than half a minute, Song Yao had actually restored her original appearance.

Most of her skin was exposed, but her once-fair skin was covered with shocking whip scars.

The sheer number was terrifying, densely packed...

It was clear that during this period, she had suffered Qi Bingbing's torture almost every single day.

Upon restoring her original appearance, Song Yao immediately grabbed the whip from the wall and lashed it viciously at Qi Bingbing, whose legs had already gone soft from fear.

Crack, crack, crack...

But after only a few lashes, Song Yao was already gasping for breath.

Qin Chuan looked at Song Yao and said indifferently, "Can you tell me where the yin-ming stone is now?"

"Alright, I'll take you there!" Song Yao did not hesitate in the slightest.

She knew very well that the yin-ming stone was indeed a top Heaven And Earth Treasure, but to her current self, it was of absolutely no use.

Qin Chuan grabbed Song Yao's shoulder, and in the blink of an eye, they vanished from the Guard Alliance's secret room.

"Aaaaah..."

Leaving behind only the screaming and roaring Qi Bingbing...

Qin Chuan could not even be bothered to kill an ant like her. His only goal for this trip was the yin-ming stone.

Guided by Song Yao, Qin Chuan arrived at a very old house.

"This... is my Song Family's ancestral home," Song Yao explained.

Qin Chuan finally realized. No wonder he hadn't sensed the existence of the yin-ming stone when he was at Yunding Villa; it turned out it had been kept in the Song Family's ancestral home.

This ancestral home was where the Song Family had lived before their rise. Yet, no one would have imagined that such a dilapidated place actually hid a top-grade Material for crafting Magical Artifacts... the yin-ming stone!

Upon stepping into the Song Family's ancestral home, he felt a wave of nether force. He dispersed this power with a strike of his palm, and then, sweeping with his Divine Sense, he found the yin-ming stone.

When he saw this yin-ming stone, even Qin Chuan's eyes couldn't help but light up.

This... yin-ming stone could actually be used to refine a Lifebound Treasure!
