191: Playing the long game

"How is this possible!"

Guan Yue's eyes widened instantly.

For a moment, he felt as if he were in a dream.

The pain in his body was nothing to him now.

More than that, it was shock.

This person could actually disperse all the Qi in his body with one punch!

At this moment, Chen Tianming also heard a series of system prompts.

"Protagonist Guan Yue is doubting life, Devil's Value +693"

"Protagonist Guan Yue hates you to the bone, Devil's Value +783"

"Protagonist Guan Yue is greatly shaken, Devil's Value +584"

Chen Tianming sneered.

This was exactly the result he wanted.

Instead of directly suppressing with force, it was better to give the opponent hope and then personally destroy it.

The next second, Guan Yue fell straight to the ground like a puppet about to fall apart.

"Guan Yue!"

At this moment, Ding Xiaoyu immediately snapped out of her panic.

She quickly came to Guan Yue's side.

She looked up at Chen Tianming.

Her eyes were very complex.

She probably hadn't realized yet that it was precisely because they were too eager for success and took the medicine Chen Tianming gave them that Guan Yue's strength was so quickly disintegrated.

Strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

This was the true effect of that medicine.

"Let's go!"

Ding Xiaoyu helped Guan Yue up and left the place almost at the fastest speed.

Ding Xiaoyu herself was a Cultivator.

If she truly used her own strength, her movements would be very swift.

By the time Gao Zhiman wanted to chase after them, the two had already disappeared.

"Why didn't you catch them?"

Wan Yue spoke.

In that situation just now, if it were someone else, there might be no chance.

But Chen Tianming would absolutely not let them escape.

To this, Chen Tianming's answer was simple.

"If I caught them now, what fun would there be?"

For Chen Tianming, getting more Devil's Value was the real goal now.

Moreover, this guy still had Ding Xiaoyu by his side.

He not only had to crush him in terms of strength but also snatch everything he possessed!

Just thinking about it, Chen Tianming felt a surge of excitement.

But at this moment, comforting Qu Huaixuan and Qu Wan'er was the most important thing.

Besides, he had already secretly placed the tracking device Gao Zhiman gave him on Ding Xiaoyu.

He would soon know where they were.

In the evening, inside the main hall.

The news of Guan Yue's injury quickly spread throughout the clan.

Naturally, there were many people who came to visit Guan Yue.

He was an exceptionally capable existence in the clan; anyone in front of Guan Yue could only be beaten soundly.

But now, Guan Yue was almost carried in by Ding Xiaoyu.

A chill ran through the hearts of the clan members.

"How strong is this person to be able to reduce Guan Yue to this state?"

Someone said.

Although others didn't express it verbally, the expressions on their faces all turned cold because of this.

A person who even Guan Yue couldn't defeat was now carrying the cauldron. No wonder they hadn't been able to find it for so many years.

And soon, new problems followed.

"What do we do now? We definitely can't defeat the opponent with just our abilities. Do we really have to risk everyone for a cauldron that's impossible to retrieve?"

Someone said this.

Everyone else immediately fell silent.

"This is probably no longer about improving cultivation."

In the clan, an old man smoking a cigarette looked at the younger generation in the room.

"The most crucial thing is that the other party has remembered Guan Yue's face, and now we've offended them. If we fight again, it's uncertain whether we can withstand it."

Listening to their words, Ding Xiaoyu felt an indescribable taste in her heart.

She went with Guan Yue.

She also watched Chen Tianming make his move with her own eyes.

She couldn't believe that the Mr. Chen who seemed so enthusiastic before had actually deceived her.

Now, looking at Guan Yue's disheveled appearance, her heart was filled with complexity.

"No, we've already wasted so many opportunities. We must get the cauldron back, no matter what."

Guan Yue, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

This was accompanied by a violent cough.

This frightened Ding Xiaoyu, who quickly patted Guan Yue's back to help him catch his breath, "You've just been injured, so don't get too agitated."

But how could Guan Yue listen to any of this?

"Don't forget how much we did for this cauldron before. How can we let that bastard just snatch it away now?"

Guan Yue's anger was visible to everyone now.

But everyone had a rough idea of what should be done now.

"How about we just give up?"

This time, it was Ding Xiaoyu who spoke.

Her beautiful eyes swept over Guan Yue, and there was a clear hint of helplessness in her gaze.

"Xiaoyu, do you know what you're saying?"

Guan Yue couldn't believe that the person saying these words was Ding Xiaoyu.

"The cost of continuing this struggle is too great. You should rest well now; you'll be mostly recovered in about a year, and we should get married."

Ding Xiaoyu said, reaching out to pull Guan Yue.

Her palm was cold.

Her eyes looked at Guan Yue, and her heart was filled with an indescribable excitement.

Ever since they got engaged, she had hoped every year that they could marry sooner.

But because of that cauldron, it had been delayed until now.

Ding Xiaoyu really didn't want to wait any longer.

"No!"

Guan Yue was like a willful child at this moment.

He immediately pulled his hand back.

The expression on his face was also exceptionally grim.

"At this critical juncture, how can we give up so easily?"

Then, he didn't care what Ding Xiaoyu was thinking at all.

"I will go into seclusion for three days to cultivate diligently and recover all my strength. Then, all of us will act together. We absolutely cannot let this opportunity slip away again!"

He had worked hard for so many years to find the cauldron.

He would never give up this opportunity!

And the moment he shook off Ding Xiaoyu's hand, Ding Xiaoyu's eyes widened.

What had she been waiting for all these years?

For a moment, Ding Xiaoyu also had some doubts.

Just then, someone rushed in from outside.

"This is bad! All our clan's businesses have been suppressed!"

Hearing this, Guan Yue's face immediately turned much colder, "What's going on?"

So many people in the clan could rest and recuperate in peace precisely because of the continuous supply from the abundant clan businesses.

There had never been any problems all these years.

But what was happening now?

When it rains, it pours.

Even the businesses that had never had problems were being suppressed?

"What's the name of the opposing company?"
