Chapter 1549: Chapter 609: Cauldron Piece, Finally in Hand

After a few days of not seeing her, Ye Lingyue could never have imagined that Dongfang Liuli would end up looking like this?

Her head was swollen larger than a pig’s, her once smooth skin was bloody and mangled, her nasal bone broken, and her clothes were filthy and stained with blood.

She no longer resembled Dongfang Liuli, but more like a beggar woman on the streets of Qiyu City.

"How did she end up like this?"

Ye Lingyue already knew that the Liu Guang Team had scattered like birds and beasts.

She had thought Dongfang Liuli had escaped too, but unexpectedly she fell into the hands of Guangzi.

"I did it." Guangzi said smugly, explaining how Dongfang Liuli attempted to drug him but was subdued using his family’s secret acupoint technique, and then was thoroughly beaten.

Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but laugh and cry after hearing that.

The wise Dongfang Liuli might have never imagined that she would fall at the hands of Guangzi.

"This woman’s identity is not simple. She is a disciple of an evil immortal from the Divine Realm, which is why she was able to refine the Soul-breaking Elixir. She mentioned having an accomplice named Gongsun Zhi, her senior brother. Their sinister methods are all reliant on this piece of junk."

Under the hypnosis of Guangzi’s Shennong’s eyes, Dongfang Liuli had confessed everything honestly.

Guangzi spoke as he took out a worn-out fragment.

He didn’t know what it was, but according to Dongfang Liuli, it was called a Cauldron Foundation, a fragment of a Divine Cauldron, and her wicked martial arts were learned using it.

Guangzi pondered for a long time, still not knowing the use of the fragment.

Ye Lingyue saw the fragment, her eyebrows twitching.

"Guangzi, could you let me take a look at that fragment?"

Ye Lingyue gazed at the fragment, her eyes glimmering faintly.

"You like it? You can have it. You really like this kind of broken stuff?"

Seeing Ye Lingyue’s interest, Guangzi didn’t hesitate to give it to her.

As long as his sister likes it, be it a broken fragment or a mountain of gold and silver, he would offer it with both hands.

He had previously checked it with Divine Power and found a trace of divine power hidden in it, but it was weak and insignificant.

Yet Ye Lingyue accepted the Cauldron Foundation Fragment cautiously, as if it were a treasure, inspecting it repeatedly.

It was truly a fragment of the Jiu Provinces Cauldron, the engraving on it was similar to the Cauldron Name left by the Jade Hand Poison Master earlier, only the size of this fragment seemed off.

The Cauldron Fragments Ye Lingyue obtained earlier, whether the Cauldron Embryo or the Cauldron Name, had much stronger power fluctuations than this Cauldron Foundation, and according to records, the Cauldron Foundation should be the largest piece among the fragments.

This is likely just part of it.

Earlier, Guangzi mentioned that Dongfang Liuli had a senior brother named Gongsun Zhi, and the remaining Cauldron Fragment must be with him.

A faint rustling sound was heard, and Dongfang Liuli awoke.

Seeing Ye Lingyue holding the Cauldron Foundation Fragment, she burst into a tirade of curses.

"Give it back, you bitch! Don’t touch my things with your filthy hands!"

Upon hearing this, Guangzi raised his eyebrows, stepped up, and delivered some resounding slaps, "Slap, slap," echoing with power.

"You vicious woman, what do you mean ’your things’? Once it’s in Ling Yue’s hands, it’s hers. If you dare utter another word, I’ll poison you mute, dig out your eyes, chop off your limbs, and slice off every protruding part of your body!"

As Guangzi enthusiastically threatened, beside him, Ye Lingyue timidly interjected.

"Guangzi, aren’t you afraid of blood?"

Momentarily stunned, Guangzi continued his emphatic speech.

"I mean, I’ll have that big fool Qin Xiaochuan do it, so he makes you neither human nor ghost, so even that senior brother of yours won’t recognize you!"

Dongfang Liuli turned pale at the threat, but regained some confidence upon hearing her senior brother’s name.

"Ye Lingyue, let me go, or when my senior brother comes, you won’t escape."

Ye Lingyue glanced at Guangzi, signaling for him to leave first.

Understanding the situation, Guangzi obligingly closed the door and exited.

With Guangzi gone, Dongfang Liuli seemed to relax.

Guangzi was someone from Futu Heaven, his tricks from last night still left Dongfang Liuli fearful.

Moreover... with only Ye Lingyue and herself in the room... perhaps... Darkness deepened in Dongfang Liuli’s eyes.

Ye Lingyue noticed but chuckled coldly, saying nothing.

Ye Lingyue strolled to stand directly in front of Dongfang Liuli.

"Dongfang Liuli, I actually hope your senior brother arrives soon. If I’m not mistaken, the other half of the Jiu Provinces Cauldron’s Foundation is with your senior brother."

Ye Lingyue raised the half Cauldron Foundation in her hand.

Upon hearing Ye Lingyue mention the Jiu Provinces Cauldron, Dongfang Liuli could no longer remain calm.

"How do you know about the Jiu Provinces Cauldron... Could it be... that you also possess a fragment of the Jiu Provinces Cauldron!" Dongfang Liuli recalled the demon beast meat sold in the black market, suddenly realizing something, "You’re the one selling the demon beast meat!"

"That’s right, I accidentally obtained a fragment of the Jiu Provinces Cauldron, gaining some divine power. I’ve been searching for the other fragments. If you can provide information on the whereabouts of other fragments, perhaps I can spare your life."

Dongfang Liuli had committed heinous crimes, she refined Soul-breaking Elixirs, harming Demon Hunters, secretly cultivating Half-Beast Demon Hunters, and used living children as bait to hunt the Azure Dragon Crocodile.

Any of these acts reported to the Jiu Provinces Alliance would be enough for Dongfang Liuli to die several times over.

Dongfang Liuli knew this well.

If she wanted to live, she had to escape from Qiyu City and find her senior brother Gongsun Zhi.

"Untie me first, and then I’ll tell you the whereabouts of the other fragment."

Dongfang Liuli suggested, struggling a bit.

"Unless you tell me first, where exactly is the other half of the Cauldron Fragment?"

Ye Lingyue confronted Dongfang Liuli.

"Indeed, the other half is with my senior brother Gongsun Zhi. He’s much stronger than I am. Ye Lingyue, there’s no way you can acquire that fragment from him. I’ve already told you, now untie me."

Guangzi had sealed Dongfang Liuli’s Primordial Power, rendering her temporarily unable to circulate it.

Ye Lingyue glanced at her, and with a flick of her finger, the ropes binding Dongfang Liuli snapped.

Freed, Dongfang Liuli laughed loudly.

"Foolish, you think sealing my Primordial Power can stop me? Ye Lingyue, prepare to die!"

Dongfang Liuli lunged forward, her fingertips concentrated with Three-fingered Cauldron Breath, like steel needles, aiming straight for Ye Lingyue’s head.

Ye Lingyue raised her hand, revealing a pitch-black ancient cauldron in her palm.

The cauldron’s mouth opened, and a startling Black Cauldron Breath emerged from within.

Compared to the Black Cauldron Breath, Dongfang Liuli’s Three-fingered Cauldron Breath seemed utterly insignificant, swallowed up in an instant!
