Chapter 1717: Exposed

It was quite a while before Mengyu could accept the news about the treasure in the chamber pot. She asked, "Is the chamber pot still there?"

Guan Youran quickly said, "It’s there, it’s there. I’ve instructed them that it must be preserved as the patriarch’s relic, useful when I am resurrected. They also feared there might be a good treasure inside that they don’t recognize and accidentally sell. So the chamber pot is still there."

"Where is it?"

"It’s in the room where the patriarch used to live, the chamber pot is still under the bed."

...

"Do you have anything else to say?"

Guan Youran sighed, "I only ask to let a sliver of my soul reincarnate."

Mengyu looked at Qing Wen, "This matter mainly depends on Qing Wen. He is the victim. Moreover, in the past century, the four people you caused to die were all Qing Wen’s family."

But Guan Youran denied, "No, they weren’t killed by me. I found a soul that couldn’t fit the body and didn’t hurt them at all. It was Seventh Grandpa who was afraid they would leak the news and decided to silence them."

Mengyu sighed, "They were afraid that the sacrifice for you would be exposed, so they killed them. You weren’t the one who killed Boren, but Boren died because of you."

Guan Youran was instantly speechless.

Because Mengyu was right, those people weren’t killed by him, but they died because of him. Moreover, this led to the Qin Family’s direct branch facing hardship, now leaving only Qing Wen alive with an unknown fate of the father.

As for Luo Xinseng, he has already denied his direct bloodline. Even if he hadn’t, with what he did today, he would not recognize his father’s half-brother.

Finally, although Mengyu and Qing Wen didn’t destroy him, they did seize his soul energy and promised to let a sliver of his soul reincarnate after the matter was over.

Guan Youran, in life, was a cultivator at Golden Core Perfection, and after death, enjoyed the Qin Family’s incense offerings, not decreasing much. Qing Wen could only devour a part, bringing his soul energy to Foundation Establishment Peak, while the rest was absorbed by Mengyu, significantly increasing her soul energy.

Mengyu, previously, along with her spiritual pet, had already devoured Yun Jiang’s residual soul of a Heavenly Immortal, bringing her Spirit God energy to the pinnacle of Soul Emergence, just a bit away from the Body Integration Realm, though she hadn’t noticed it herself.

This time, she absorbed most of Guan Youran’s soul energy, thus causing her soul energy to immediately break through the maximum achievable by Soul Emergence, reaching the extent of power possessed in the Body Integration Realm.

Moreover, she was unaware that the increase in soul energy had a negative impact on her body.

Mengyu instructed Qing Wen, "You stay hidden in this statue for now, don’t come out. I’ll be right in to rescue you."

Qing Wen’s divine sense had reached late-stage Foundation Establishment, but his power was still at Qi Refining Eighth Layer. Moreover, being still young and not having learned spells, he wouldn’t be much help going out.

Feeling Qing Wen having control over his own body, Mengyu’s divine sense quickly exited Qing Wen’s Sea of Consciousness.

As soon as Mengyu withdrew her divine sense, she released Qingshan, "Stay guard at the entrance, I’m going in to save Qing Wen."

But Qingshan protested, "Master, it should be me rescuing Qing Wen, and you staying to guard outside."

Mengyu scoffed, "I have the Five Elements Fan for defense and invisibility. Can you go invisible? After rescuing Qing Wen invisibly, can you make Qing Wen invisible too?"

Qingshan was momentarily dejected, but insisted, "Master Elder said, under no circumstances should I leave you. I must go in with you. Let Xiao Tao stay here."

After thinking for a moment, Mengyu reluctantly called Xiao Tao out and had her guard the outside. She herself opened the entrance to the tunnel, entering the underground Qin Family Mansion.

Of course, she stepped on the Five Elements Fan, moving along the ground while activating both the Concealing Array and Defensive Isolation Array the fan naturally carried.

Mengyu believed she had prepared well enough and should avoid trouble.

However, as she passed through the entrance, a rapid sound of bells rang out.
