Cat Changes the Crown Prince Ghost Valley and Medicine King Valley were in a cooperative relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunderpeak Hall wanted to refine the Life Prolonging Pill, and they could only do so through Medicine King Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, no organization under the heavens understood alchemy better than Medicine King Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Medicine King Valley controlled some of the formulas, the most critical raw materials could only be obtained through Ghost Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three parties mutually checked and balanced each other, utilized each other, and took what they needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But human desires were far from being satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, someone wanted to break the balance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the message from the Supreme Elder, the genius alchemist far in Boulevard Mountain was almost completely thawed from the glacier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was time for Medicine King Valley to make a big move!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a long-term partner soon to control all the formulas, the Medicine King had already started scheming against his old friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That raw material, which was human blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could no longer be left at Ghost Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wanted to monopolize it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason they did not choose to forcefully eliminate Ghost Valley was that behind Ghost Valley, there also stood several important figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Figures like the Supreme Elder of Medicine King Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These figures usually did not interfere with Ghost Valley’s affairs, but once a formidable enemy attacked, they would intervene to protect Ghost Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They even made the Supreme Elder of Medicine King Valley quite wary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the Medicine King thought of killing with a borrowed knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using Julius Reed’s knife, to assassinate the Valley Master of Ghost Valley!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the chaos, they would seize the person Thunderpeak Hall had hidden in Ghost Valley and obtain the human blood for themselves!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the situation in the main hall of Ghost Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Valley Master was conversing with a man in black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in black was clad in black from head to toe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including the pair of black leather gloves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael, you must be weary from your travels, why not stay here for the night?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Valley Master waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to withdraw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the hall, only the two of them remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The order comes from mother, I must take away the woman hidden here by you,” said Devlin as he picked up a teacup and gently sipped, “The tea is good; I didn’t expect you to be a connoisseur.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was covered with a black mask, revealing only his eyes and mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even his nose was hidden underneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What outsiders did not know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This mask also doubled as a basic gas mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the nostril region, there were multiple layers of filters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he encountered danger, he could breathe through his nose to temporarily avoid inhaling harmful gases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew Devlin for his deep schemes, yet they were unaware that he was also a person fearful of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Safety was always his priority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Devlin, you misspeak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am after all the Valley Master of Ghost Valley, with thousands of disciples under me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, behind me stands …”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, the Valley Master smiled faintly, “Why suddenly take that woman away?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the beginning of last year, Devlin had brought that young lady to Ghost Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had locked her in the deepest and coldest prison of Ghost Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every month, a vial of blood was drawn from the woman and sent to Medicine King Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In return, Thunderpeak Hall paid Ghost Valley a very substantial reward every month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Medicine King Valley, which usually sold pills to the wealthy,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thousands of disciples, thousands of mouths to feed, they needed money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Something has changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to avoid arousing suspicion, I’ve brought another person to replace that woman, to deceive the public.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin clapped his hands, and a young girl walked out from behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl was dressed in a black leather outfit, her expression cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elwood Thorneycroft, this is the Valley Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ll be relying on his care during your days in Ghost Valley,” Devlin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elwood Thorneycroft has met the Valley Master,” said the woman as she deeply bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Thunderpeak Hall women are all stunning beauties indeed!” remarked the Valley Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Valley Master nodded, stood up, and said, “Go, to the extreme cold prison, bring that woman out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the doorway, a Ghost Valley disciple immediately turned around and ran towards the land of extreme cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A year without sunlight, I wonder if she will go mad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Valley Master picked up his teacup and sighed, “This girl, she is quite stubborn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The extreme cold prison, located beneath a cold spring in Ghost Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temperature there is consistently around five degrees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it does not reach zero degrees, anyone who stays there long-term will find their limbs somewhat numb due to the cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, they would essentially become invalids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elwood Thorneycroft, as a descendant of my old friend Fabian Percival, should be treated here with all the courtesies due to a distinguished guest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do not treat him as you did that woman, and ensure Thorneycroft does not suffer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin took out a bank card from his pocket: “Five billion, this is this month’s reward.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re too kind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Valley Master chuckled as he pocketed the bank card and extended his hand toward Elwood Thorneycroft, “Miss Thorneycroft, please take a seat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, but I am not tired,” Thorneycroft replied politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of clinking chains echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Escorted by several Ghost Valley disciples, a disheveled white-dressed woman walked into the entrance of the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman was unable to walk, appearing very stiff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She almost entirely relied on the help of Ghost Valley disciples to approach them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A year, a year has passed, turning her into this disaster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin stood up and walked over to the woman, gently lifting her chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the tangled black hair, a pale face was revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the paleness could not hide the woman’s devastating beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no makeup at all, her bare face alone could captivate countless people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a pity, such a pity!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin shook his head, his tone full of regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman’s eyes slowly lifted as she looked at Devlin, and scoffed, “Go ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ɲ0νǤօ.ƈο\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if you don’t kill me, I won’t speak a word.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, you still have value to us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin waved his hand, and several disciples of Thunderpeak Hall appeared behind him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take her, get in the car!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples of Thunderpeak Hall immediately lifted the woman and quickly ran towards the back door of Ghost Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Dave, I have to leave first!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thorneycroft is in your care!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin clasped his hands, smiling at the Valley Master, “This tea is delicious, I’ll take some with me as I leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, he picked up two bags of tea and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Thorneycroft, please follow me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Ghost Valley hall, a senior disciple gestured for Elwood Thorneycroft to follow him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thorneycroft nodded and similarly left the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What exactly is Thunderpeak Hall playing at?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Switching the crown prince for a decoy, who are they trying to fool?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Valley Master fiddled with the teacup in his hands, trying to understand the purpose behind Thunderpeak’s actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devlin is like an old fox, completely unpredictable in his actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So scheming!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Valley Master, Medicine King is here to visit in person!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Ghost Valley disciple knelt in the hall, gasping as he reported in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Medicine King?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Valley Master stood up and blinked, “What a day, what has brought both Thunderpeak Hall and Medicine King to visit back-to-back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To see or not to see?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciple lifted his head and asked aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“See!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Valley Master snorted lightly, looking outside at the hundreds of disciples practicing, “I must see what kind of ‘Power Pill’ Medicine King is selling this time!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1330,"2026-06-06T17:05:15.459Z",1,"novelbin.me","1c7a05b71d8e290b524e5d00cd5f37b62f3a99d8f19faa07ddbdfdd5afc57d6c","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-1034","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-1032",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
