Chapter 58: The Final Destination of the Bone-Changing Pill

"Hehe, Miss Guan, your martial arts are peerless; I indeed look like cannon fodder. But you cannot kill me, look~~" Li Shangxian pressed the blade against Huchen's neck, pressing out a line of blood, and Huchen's eyelids began to twitch lightly.

"See that? Understand? Put down the sword, otherwise—"

"Otherwise, what are you, this 'cannon fodder,' going to do?"

Xiao Yu glanced at him contemptuously, but used the "Tiger Roar Blade" divine intent in her eyes.

Li Shangxian was already pale, almost scared out of his wits; at this moment, facing her eyes, a terrifying illusion immediately appeared in his mind: the eldest Miss Yu in a goose-yellow dress disappeared, replaced by a ten-foot-tall fierce tiger.

The fierce tiger even opened its bloody mouth, leaning in front of him and letting out a ferocious roar.

"Roar!!!"

It seemed as if fishy saliva sprayed onto his face... He indeed felt wetness on his face; it was his sweat and tears.

"Clang!"

Just like facing the complete and enraged "Immortal Eye Tiger," fear drained all the strength from his body, the saber in his hand fell to the ground, his knees softened and he knelt on the ground, crying and howling, "Little General, spare my life! This little one has always kept in mind General Guan's kindness and care, never having any delusions; it was Fire Crow Army's Cai—"

"Shut up!"

A weak and laborious scolding interrupted his words, also attracting everyone's attention.

"Foster father~~" Xiao Yu was suspicious in her heart, but happy on her face, and stepped forward quickly.

"Old Master~~" Guan Zhong, whose face had been slapped swollen, rushed over crying and howling.

"General Guan..." Li Shangxian turned around stiffly.

"Yu'er, kill him." Guan Huchen stared fixedly at Li Shangxian with dull eyes.

"Don't, General, spare me—"

"Puchi~~~"

The Dragon Kiss sword kissed his neck.

"Foster father, you finally woke up! I knew it, you didn't die, you won't die."

Xiao Yu's face was full of joy and excitement, but she was sighing in her heart; Guan Huchen was really going to die now.

Because this was clearly a flash of brilliance before death.

"Old Master, you must hold on, Miss Yu is back, we are safe."

Guan Zhong also understood Huchen's state, weeping as he spoke.

Huchen's lips moved, his voice very low, but his speech speed very fast, "Guan Zhong, is the Nine-Turn Bone-Changing Pill on you?"

"Yes, Daoist Qingsong handed the pill to the young lady, and the young lady trusted this old slave, temporarily letting this old slave keep it.

Now some Human Immortals have grouped up to assassinate the Lieyang Marquis, the young lady led us to hide in the wine cellar, just now the wine cellar suddenly became foggy, the young lady and Shopkeeper Yun and the others disappeared inexplicably, and Li Qing, Wang Bao and the others found their way here."

Finally, Guan Zhong also hesitated, "Wang Bao, Li Qing and the others should have been instigated by someone; just now Li Shangxian was preparing to..."

"Don't say it!" Huchen's eyes flashed with hatred, which he quickly suppressed, saying, "Wang Bao, Li Qing and the others betrayed this general; it has nothing to do with others, it was purely greed for wealth. Guan Zhong, do you understand?"

"This old slave... understands." Guan Zhong felt very aggrieved and extremely uncomfortable in his heart, but he nodded very decisively, saying, "This old slave understands, it was Wang Bao and Li Qing who forgot righteousness for profit!

They have been ambushing outside the wine cellar, waiting for chaos to start outside, and immediately returned to kill and seize the treasure."

Being able to make Li Qing and Wang Bao betray Guan Huchen so resolutely in such a short time, without fearing the Guan family's subsequent investigation and retaliation, there was no one else except the big shots in the Fire Crow Army.

Guan Zhong even suspected that the Lieyang Marquis was two-faced.

"Very good, now take out the Nine-Turn Bone-Changing Pill... let Yu'er..."

Huchen hesitated, struggled, and wrestled for a long time before closing his eyes and saying hatefully, "Let Yu'er eat this ill-fated disaster!"

"Old Master!" Guan Zhong was shocked.

"Foster father!" Xiao Yu was overjoyed... only in her heart; on the surface, she was full of panic and daze.

"Eat it, stay safe," Huchen said laboriously.

It could be seen that this was a very, very difficult decision for him.

Xiao Yu quickly said, "Foster father, you have woken up now, you eat it!"

"I can't eat it, sigh, no fate... you, hurry up and eat it, don't make me worry."

Guan Huchen's expression and mood at this moment were very much like a super cuckold who had personally pushed the goddess he had finally chased after into another man's arms; it was simply unbearable.

But he had no choice; this was the best option.

In his current physical state, taking the Bone-Changing Pill would immediately cause his bloodline to riot, and the last bit of essence blood would be uncontrollable, his heart blood would run dry, and he would die completely.

If not for this, even if he couldn't absorb all the medicinal power, he would have been willing to try it himself.

After all, it was a divine pill that had cost the Guan family a century of foundation and that he had looked forward to for a long time.

Huchen gave the order in person, and Guan Zhong himself felt it was the best current choice, so he nimbly dragged a wine barrel from the corner, reached in and groped for a while, and pulled out a leopard-skin pouch wrapped into a ball.

Xiao Yu's eyelids twitched.

Damn it, how long had she been gone, and Old Zhong had actually secretly hidden the divine pill.

Could it be that he was even guarding against her?

"Young lady, hurry up and eat it."

When he hid the medicine before, he was indeed guarding against everyone.

Now that the Old Master had personally said to hand the divine pill to the young lady, Guan Zhong was instead worried that Miss Yu would be indecisive and push it away modestly.

"Foster father..." Miss Yu indeed put on the posture of a young girl.

"Eat it!" Huchen closed his eyes, not looking at that ill-fated enemy.

"Foster father has ordered, Yu'er can only thank you... Mmm~~"

As the pill slid into her throat, Xiao Yu immediately let out a muffled groan.

She felt that what she had eaten was not a pill, but a small sun.

The small sun melted into scorching magma in her throat.

The magma poured into her abdomen, surged toward her limbs and bones, turning all the blood in her body into burning gasoline.

Just this alone, if it were Huchen at this moment, he would never be able to bear it.

And in the extreme heat, a cool stream of air like a spring entered her heart, then entered her spine, and rushed into her brain along her spine.

Her sword bones were clanging, every bone a precious sword.

Now all the precious swords were unsheathed, transforming from common iron to divine weapons in the calcination of blood flames.

But more of the coolness was absorbed by the Purple Mansion.

In an instant, the Purple Mansion actually expanded rapidly to occupy the entire sea of consciousness, and Xiao Yu's soul condensed in the center of the Purple Mansion.

A beam of purple light surged from the core of the Purple Mansion, wrapping around her soul, rushing out of the crown bone, rushing out of the mountain above the wine cellar, rushing out of the Hunting Flag Immortal's Flag Gate Escape formation, rushing out of one heaven, then another, and finally to beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens...

Afterward, Xiao Yu's consciousness was hazy, and she didn't know what had happened. But she vaguely understood the mutation of the Purple Mansion: the "data cable" of the Purple Mansion had connected to the "database" of the Primordial World.

The Purple Mansion's deduction of the method to destroy fathers is similar to artificial intelligence researching a topic, requiring a large amount of data.

A small part of the data is provided by Xiao Yu; she observes, feels, and experiments.

More data comes from the Purple Mansion's own "database."

The original database was in the purple light that merged with her soul.

The original database was already very strong, and now it seems to have connected to the "Heavenly Dao Database" of the Primordial World, able to obtain data from the "Three Thousand Daos" to deduce the "Method to Destroy Fathers."

The most direct sensory experience is that the "Method to Destroy the Immortal Eye Tiger" can be deduced again!

Xiao Yu was extremely excited.

Previously, the Purple Mansion was very strong, but it also had very rigid limitations: the Purple Mansion would choose the method to destroy fathers that best fit the conditions at the time based on the state of both her and her "foster father."

Fitting the conditions at the time is also the theoretically optimal method to destroy fathers.

But this is for an "assassin."

Assassins only look at the result.

Xiao Yu, however, hoped to gain more things from the "Method to Destroy Fathers."

Many times, she didn't even care about the result of the assassination, because she didn't intend to destroy every foster father at all.

There is a big difference between the method to destroy fathers that Xiao Yu expects and the theoretically "most efficient method to destroy fathers."

Taking Huchen as an example, before Xiao Yu practiced "Tiger Soul Seven Kills," the Purple Mansion's strategy for destruction was to take advantage of his lack of preparation and sneak attack.

Therefore, the focus of the Purple Mansion's deduction was how to hide her figure and aura to avoid the insight of the Thousand-Mile Eye.

After Xiao Yu was taught "Tiger Soul Seven Kills" by Huchen, her own strength changed greatly, and she no longer needed to lurk close and sneak attack.

She could launch a sudden attack and break Huchen's Seven Kills profound meaning.

This is not the result Xiao Yu wanted.

The most valuable thing about Huchen is not "Tiger Soul Seven Kills," but the Thousand-Mile Eye divine ability.

But she couldn't control the Purple Mansion to change to another deduction route.

The night before last, the "Method to Destroy Huchen" had already been deduced.

Now that she has taken the Bone-Changing Pill, the specific divine effect of the Purple Mansion connecting to heaven and earth is not yet clear, but after the Purple Mansion expanded to occupy the entire sea of consciousness and her soul resided in the center of the Purple Mansion, she gained some control over the Purple Mansion.

This time, according to her will, she deduced how to avoid the insight of Huchen's Thousand-Mile Eye, approach quietly, and take action secretly.

"As expected of a divine medicine that all those born with divine abilities crave, the Nine-Turn Bone-Changing Pill's effect in developing divine abilities is too strong." With too much surprise in her heart, Xiao Yu couldn't help but exclaim.

Huchen heard this, reopened his eyes, and said with a complex expression, "Yu'er, how do you feel?"

Xiao Yu said excitedly, "Thank you, foster father, for the pill! Yu'er feels that she has completed a transformation of rebirth; my bones seem to have life and can absorb sword intent, making my body full of strength; it's very magical."

"Good, very good... The Nine-Turn Bone-Changing Pill was not wasted after all..." Huchen said laboriously.

Seeing the undisguised disappointment and pain in the depths of his eyes, Xiao Yu quickly said, "Foster father, don't just think about Yu'er, you must think more about yourself. How to save you now is the key."

Guan Zhong nodded repeatedly, "Old Master, whatever arrangements you have, just say them, and the young lady and I will complete them even if it costs our lives!"

—You can add drama for yourself, but don't drag me into it.

After taking the Bone-Changing Pill, Xiao Yu felt a bit of genuine gratitude toward Guan Huchen.

As for his life and death, she cared even less than before.

The Human Emperor has fallen, Huchen is dead, the plan for the little Imperial Consort has failed, and whether the Guan family will recognize her as "Miss Yu" is uncertain; fantasizing about investing a large amount of resources in her is absolutely impossible.

Now she has obtained the Guan family's greatest foundation and has the dual divine abilities of the Purple Mansion and sword bones; she can go anywhere in the world.

Of course, having the confidence to roam the world alone does not mean Xiao Yu will stand by and watch Guan Huchen die.

If there is a way to save him, she will try her best to do it.

Not to mention anything else, if Huchen dies prematurely, the deduction of the "Method to Destroy Huchen in the Netherworld" will likely come to an abrupt end.

But trying her best does not mean risking her life to complete it.

"Where is the Red Smoke Colt? Find the Red Smoke Colt, tie me to the saddle, and it will bring me back to Yingxiang Prefecture by itself.

If I can rush back to Yingxiang Prefecture as soon as possible... even if I only enter the border of the prefecture capital, I might have a glimmer of life," Huchen said weakly.

Guan Zhong hesitated, "Old Master, your injuries are too severe; riding a horse alone will cause your wounds to burst..."

"Use the Fire Rat Robe to wrap my body tightly... there is no other way; only the ancestors of Yingxiang Prefecture can save me."

There was not much confidence in Huchen's tone, only the despair of resigning himself to fate.

"Foster father, I will go find the Red Smoke Colt!" Xiao Yu gritted her teeth and looked at Huchen with a resolute gaze.

"Good, Yu'er, father is counting on you."

Huchen did not hesitate or try to keep her, immediately agreeing to let Xiao Yu go and break through the "Eight Immortals Formation" outside.

Letting her eat the Nine-Turn Bone-Changing Pill was just to enhance her strength, so that she could protect him well at this critical moment and do things for him!

"Foster father, the Red Smoke Colt won't listen to Yu'er and refuses to let Yu'er approach; what should I do?"

The loyalty value in Xiao Yu's heart, which had just soared to 69 points, immediately dropped by ten points, returning to near the passing line of 59.

"The Red Smoke Colt understands human nature; you talk to it, it can understand, and it also recognizes you."

Huchen was also not sure, but if he didn't try, he would lose even the chance to "give it a go and resign himself to fate."

"Uncle Zhong, take good care of foster father. There is no time to lose, I will go to the military camp immediately to find the Red Smoke Colt."

Xiao Yu pushed open the wooden door of the wine cellar decisively and returned to the vast white fog. ===== CHAPTER 59 =====
