Chapter 601: A Cave Within a Cave

Li Cheng looked at Ye Qinglong with some disdain: "I think you'd better not go. Your stamina isn't even as good as a woman's; if you go, we'll have to take care of you."

"Go back and wait for me to come out," Ye Qingning glanced at him coldly and said in an unquestionable tone.

"Fine, I accept it." Ye Qinglong climbed up, his face full of frustration. He swore that after returning home, he would exercise his body well; he absolutely could not make such a fool of himself next time.

"Xiao Li, you will command the team from here on. Handle the situation here well, and be sure to control the state of affairs here while waiting for the local police to arrive," Li Cheng called over a subordinate.

"Yes, Captain." Xiao Li gave a salute.

Huang Wei came over with two bodyguards. Chen Yu said: "Mr. Wei, lend me the Compass in your hand. I will go in first to check the situation. If there is no path, I will come out quickly. Everyone can just wait quietly in the village."

"Yes, Mr. Chen." Wei Hongye nodded. He was old, and entering such complex terrain was certainly not possible for him, so he had no choice but to wait for news outside.

"Chen Yu, I leave my sister to you. You must bring her back safely." Ye Qinglong wiped away a tear. His eyes were red, and for the first time in his life, he hated himself for being useless.

"Don't worry about that. With me here, she won't have any trouble." Chen Yu nodded and led his people into the karst cave by the Underground Dark River.

It was still an underground karst cave. Jiwu Lingtai sat in a wheelchair, and the man who had been pushing him in a wild dash the whole way had already collapsed on the ground, exhausted.

"Go, hurry, go. I cannot be caught by the Huaxia military, otherwise, I will never be able to go back," Jiwu Lingtai shouted sternly.

He was inherently hostile toward Huaxia, and in several previous conflicts between Huaxia and Fusang, he had always charged at the very front.

If he were truly caught by the Huaxia military, he would really never be able to go back.

"Father-in-law, I really cannot walk anymore. I beg you to let me rest for a while, okay? Just for a while." The man gasped violently; he really could not take another step.

"Useless thing." Jiwu Lingtai stared at the man: "Jing Tian, I married my daughter to you because I valued your character, but I did not expect you to be such a useless thing."

"I'm sorry, Father-in-law." Jing Tian stood up while panting and bowed deeply to Jiwu Lingtai: "It was my plan that was not thorough, causing you to be alarmed."

"My being alarmed is secondary, but this time my Longevity Bureau has been destroyed. I have less than three months of Life left." Jiwu Lingtai slapped the wheelchair fiercely and said angrily: "What to do? What to do next?"

"Father-in-law, please do not be anxious. We will definitely have a way." Jing Tian bowed.

"If one day, I needed to use your life to trade for my life, would you be willing?" Jiwu Lingtai suddenly blurted out such a sentence.

"I, me?" Jing Tian's face was full of panic; he did not understand what Jiwu Lingtai meant.

"Bastard, I married my daughter to you; are you not willing to sacrifice something for me? I am Yingzi's father, after all." Jiwu Lingtai was furious.

Jing Tian's hands had originally been trembling slightly, but now, he lifted his head slightly, and his gaze carried a trace of a sinister expression.

Jiwu Lingtai did not notice his expression. As he turned his head, a glimmer of brilliance suddenly flashed in his eyes.

He saw that on the opposite bank of the colorful underground river, there grew a peculiar 'tree'.

This tree had emerald-green branches, and hanging on the tips of the branches were crimson fruits. Purple light flowed over these fruits, appearing very beautiful in the dimly lit karst cave.

"This, this is the Flowing Heart Cranberry. This is the Flowing Heart Cranberry recorded in my grandfather's notes." Jiwu Lingtai was incomparably excited. He stood up abruptly, then immediately fell to the ground with a thud because his body was too weak.

"It is the Flowing Heart Cranberry, this is the Flowing Heart Cranberry. I am saved, I am saved, haha, Heaven does not cut off all paths." Jiwu Lingtai struggled to crawl forward, his eyes full of ecstasy.

"Father-in-law, what is wrong with you?" Jing Tian hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

"Huaxia is vast and rich in resources. Its five thousand years of brilliant cultural history holds endless treasures. When my grandfather was in Huaxia, he was in charge of a special team. This team gathered the strengths of all the schools of thought in Huaxia to search for various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."

Jiwu Lingtai was helped back into his wheelchair, but he still could not suppress the joy in his heart.

He muttered: "The Flowing Heart Cranberry is one of the important Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures among them. According to my grandfather's notes, the Flowing Heart Cranberry mostly grows where earth veins intersect, born from gathering all the Qi of Heaven and Earth, and has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. However, he dispatched his most elite troops to go deep into the most mysterious Witch Clan of Huaxia, but ended up with nothing."

"This was his lifelong regret. Until the time he passed away, he still could not stop thinking about this thing. I came to the Witch Clan this time originally holding a glimmer of hope for this medicine, but I did not expect to encounter it here. Haha, Heaven will not let me die."

Looking at the crazed Jiwu Lingtai, the chill in Jing Tian's eyes grew thicker and thicker.

"Hurry, go over, pick the largest and brightest fruit on it. This can save my life." Jiwu Lingtai pointed at the fruit on the opposite bank of the river and roared.

Jing Tian let go of the wheelchair, a sneer on his face, and did not move.

"Go quickly, you useless thing, hurry and retrieve the treasure for me." Jiwu Lingtai was angry: "You useless thing, if it weren't for the fact that Yingzi likes you, how could I have married her to you."

"Useless thing?" Jing Tian suddenly reached out and grabbed Jiwu Lingtai by the throat: "In your eyes, I have always been a worthless piece of trash, right? You have never looked at me straight. The reason you brought me here is because you are old and can no longer suppress your subordinates."

"And I am just garbage that can be summoned at will and dismissed at will. This is the truth of why you chose me to accompany you here, right?"

"Cough, cough, what are you doing? Jing Tian, you dare to be disrespectful to me?" Caught off guard, Jiwu Lingtai was choked into a violent cough. He looked at this son-in-law who had always been obedient to him in disbelief, his expression shocked.

"You need to figure out what place this is. This is an Underground Dark River in a remote mountain village in Huaxia, not your Dusong Society. Killing you now is just like killing a little chicken." Jing Tian's eyes were wide open, his appearance very terrifying.

"You, what do you want to do?" Jiwu Lingtai lost his nerve. Yes, he was not the high-and-mighty boss of the Dusong Society here, but a useless person at the mercy of others. If he really provoked Jing Tian, he did not know what would happen.

"Draw up a will and pass the position of President of the Dusong Society to me, immediately, right now." Jing Tian took out his mobile phone.

"Don't even think about it." Jiwu Lingtai was furious: "Jing Tian, I knew you had bad intentions. You actually covet the position of President?"

"I'm afraid it's not up to you now. You are about to die, and in this place, you have no right to say no." Jing Tian leaned close to him and said coldly: "Either draw up the will, or I will send you on your way right now."
