Chapter 47: Cang Yin Yue's Plan

As the words fell, the great eunuch Sun Changyu descended from the sky, landing upon the corridor.

He glanced at Li Musheng, then turned his gaze to the young man in the scholar's robe, examining him closely.

Seeing this, Li Musheng said nothing and had to temporarily abandon his plan to conduct the experiment.

Of course, the Death Talisman Martial Art had only just taken shape; the significance of testing it was likely minimal.

The little eunuch Xiao Anzi, seeing Sun Changyu arrive, immediately hurried to pay his respects.

But the other party ignored him, merely observing the young man in the scholar's robe while speaking:

"The Devil Heart Seed is a supreme demonic martial art of the Liuyumo Sect. This demonic technique cultivates the Devil Heart within, manifesting desire through sight, sound, scent, taste, touch, and thought, thereby planting the seed of the Devil Heart within others."

"Those upon whom the Devil Heart seed is planted are generally called 'Seed Furnaces.' Such people appear no different from normal individuals in daily life, only mobilizing the power of the Devil Heart to devour blood essence and true qi when manipulated."

"Furthermore, the demon lord who plants the Devil Heart seed can not only manipulate the 'Seed Furnace' this way but also, once the Seed Furnace's Devil Heart matures, devour their cultivation to enhance their own demonic power."

Hearing this, Xiao Anzi stared at the young man in the scholar's robe for a moment, then whispered:

"So, he has been planted with a Devil Heart and is being manipulated, which is why he is so mad?"

The great eunuch Sun Changyu nodded and said:

"That is likely the case, but it is probably not direct manipulation. The Devil Heart within this person has not been planted for long; it can only be guided. That demon lord must be near the Aurora Pavilion."

As he spoke, the great eunuch Sun Changyu's gaze darkened. He clapped his hands lightly, and the next moment, several eunuchs descended upon the tiled eaves, kneeling behind him.

"Immediately send men to search the area within a hundred zhang of the Aurora Pavilion. Once anyone abnormal is found, arrest them at once!"

Hearing this, the several eunuchs behind him acknowledged with a "Yes," then leaped from the corridor, soaring upward and vanishing quickly.

"Interesting. These eunuchs all dislike taking the ordinary path!"

Li Musheng watched this group of martial arts experts flying back and forth and shook his head.

One and all, they all loved to show off.

The great eunuch Sun Changyu glanced at Li Musheng, seeming to detect the sarcasm in his words, and his eyelid twitched instantly.

However, he said nothing more, his gaze settling on the young man in the scholar's robe, who had now gone completely mad.

"This person is still useful. We must stop him, or he will soon collapse from mental exhaustion and die."

As the great eunuch Sun Changyu spoke, a wisp of Yin True Qi coiled around his fingers, tracing afterimages as he tapped the young man in the scholar's robe several times, seemingly attempting to unblock his acupoints.

But to his utter astonishment, his true qi intended to penetrate the acupoints within the other's body was blocked by a strand of qi resonance, which he could not shift by even a fraction no matter what he tried.

He frowned tightly, then tried several more times, but it remained completely ineffective.

Seeing this, Xiao Anzi beside him wore an expression of confusion.

He remembered that Li Musheng had acted in an instant just now; the acupoint technique should not have been complex, yet judging by Eunuch Sun's current demeanor, it seemed extremely intricate and troublesome, even causing him to sweat visibly on his forehead.

At this moment, Li Musheng glanced at Sun Changyu and said:

"Enough, stop trying. How did your inquiry go regarding what I mentioned earlier?"

Hearing this, the great eunuch Sun Changyu seemed to recall there was still urgent business to attend to, and his heart gave a sudden jolt.

He quickly turned to face Li Musheng, his expression becoming solemn, and said gravely:

"The Queen Consort has agreed to your suggestion. She has instructed me to take you to the General Headquarters of the Tianjin Guard, where the Commander and the Chief Eunuch Shen of the Divine Palace Bureau will personally verify your identity."

Hearing this, Li Musheng nodded slightly:

"Then what are we waiting for? There is no time to lose; let us go now."

As he spoke, he gestured for the other to lead the way.

The great eunuch Sun Changyu nodded slightly, but after hesitating for a moment, he pointed at the young man in the scholar's robe and said:

"I do not know what acupoint technique Young Master used. Please unblock this person's acupoints first. Should the Tianjin Guard fail to locate that demon lord, we can still find clues to him from this person."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Anzi beside him asked with great confusion:

"Eunuch Sun, did you not just unblock his acupoints?"

Hearing this, the great eunuch Sun Changyu frowned, preparing to scold him.

But a glance from the corner of his eye revealed that the acupoints on the young man in the scholar's robe had indeed already been unblocked.

It was merely because the man had gone utterly mad that he was now foaming at the mouth and convulsing uncontrollably.

"When did I unblock his acupoints? I do not recall doing so."

The great eunuch Sun Changyu wore a face full of surprise, while Xiao Anzi hurriedly replied:

"Eunuch, just as Young Master Li was speaking, you already unblocked this person's acupoints. I saw it with my own eyes."

"Is that so?"

The great eunuch Sun Changyu let out a long "Hiss," but he still seemed to have no impression; he only remembered that he apparently could not break through that strand of qi resonance at all...

At this moment, Li Musheng asked from the side:

"Can we go now?"

Hearing this, the great eunuch Sun Changyu came to his senses. He suddenly looked deeply at Li Musheng, nodded, and said:

"Please follow me, Young Master Li."

With that, he instructed Xiao Anzi to have someone handle the young man in the scholar's robe, then led Li Musheng away from the Aurora Pavilion, boarding a carriage guarded by armored soldiers heading toward the General Headquarters of the Tianjin Guard.

The General Office of the Six Gates of Great Li.

After Cang Yin Yue reported the situation regarding the remnants of Great Qi, the Qingshan Tower, to the Divine Detective Guan Tianqian,

Guan Tianqian classified the matter as a secret of the Six Gates. To prevent the news from leaking, he personally arranged personnel to investigate all matters concerning the Qingshan Tower as quickly as possible.

Of course, at Cang Yin Yue's own request, she was naturally permitted to participate in this matter.

However, before this, Cang Yin Yue had another important task to accomplish.

Exiting the Divine Detective Pavilion, Cang Yin Yue walked around the Six Gates, sensing the gazes and whispered discussions coming from all directions.

Without changing her expression, after confirming her merits were recorded in the files, she directly left the General Office of the Six Gates.

No sooner had she left the Six Gates than an old crone appeared silently, blocking her path.

"Second Young Lady, the Marquis heard you publicly defied the marriage he arranged at the Six Gates. He is furious and has specifically ordered me to bring you back to Hou Fu."

As the old crone spoke, disregarding whether Cang Yin Yue agreed or not, she raised her hand and grasped; threads of dark, chilling true qi bound her in place.

Dragging her in public into a carriage nearby, the coachman soon drove the carriage at a gallop toward the Marquis Marquis Cangyuan Hou Fu.

About half an hour later, the carriage stopped before the Marquis Marquis Cangyuan Hou Fu. The old crone carried Cang Yin Yue like a chick, walking toward the heavily guarded Hou Fu.

Cang Yin Yue's eyes were icy, her gaze fixed on the old crone; she would surely repay this humiliation in the future.

Yet from start to finish she said not a word, instead showing hope.

She had not returned to the Marquis Marquis Cangyuan Hou Fu for two years; this time she came back for the Bone-Eroding Yin Wind Finger.
