Chapter 1550 - 610: Another Outer Heaven

Chapter 1550: Chapter 610: Another Outer Heaven

Seeing his final Three-fingered Cauldron Breath being swallowed whole, the pitch-black cauldron suddenly emitted a dim light, as if possessing a terrifying suction, pulling Dongfang Liuli inside. Dongfang Liuli felt a dizzying spin, and a terrifying realization flashed through his mind.

It turned out that Ye Lingyue didn’t just have one Cauldron Piece.

Inside the cauldron, there was the sound of clanging and then a feeble voice begging for mercy.

"Ye Lingyue, please spare me. I can think of ways to help you find my senior brother, he has already gone to the Central Plains. As long as you leave me alive, I am willing to become your servant and help you seize the remaining half of the Cauldron Piece."

"As long as you don’t kill me, I can do anything for you."

"Dongfang Liuli, tell me, where did you buy those Heart Execution Grass?"

Ye Lingyue asked coldly.

"I don’t know, the channel for buying the Heart Execution Grass has always been managed by my senior brother Gongsun Zhi. I’ve told you everything, just let me go. I swear, I will never harm anyone again."

"Since you’ve said everything, what’s the point in keeping you around? Daring to covet my man, Dongfang Liuli, you should have realized your fate by now."

Ye Lingyue sneered.

Although she never said anything outwardly about Dongfang Liuli seducing Di Shen, she had always been secretly displeased.

Dongfang Liuli must die.

With a flick of her fingertips, a ball of Gray Fire flew out.

The tongues of the Gray Fire engulfed the Qian Cauldron.

Inside the Qian Cauldron, Dongfang Liuli felt an intense heat all over, her voice became increasingly miserable, her skin and flesh melting inch by inch, until at last, she was completely reduced to ashes.

For such a villain, turning her into ashes was already the most merciful action.

After dealing with Dongfang Liuli, Guangzi informed Ye Lingyue that Tang Tiansong had awakened and wanted to see Ye Lingyue.

Tang Tiansong was recovering well; by the time Ye Lingyue entered, he was already able to sit up and drink his medicine.

Upon seeing Ye Lingyue, Tang Tiansong couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.

He had already learned from Luo Qianche that the Azure Dragon Crocodile had been eliminated.

Unexpectedly, he and Dongfang Liuli had been busy for nothing, and in the end, it was Ye Lingyue who gained the upper hand.

During this public mission, Ye Lingyue and Luo Qianche teamed up to eliminate both the Tiger-faced Leopard King and the Azure Dragon Crocodile, needless to say, the top ranks in Qiyu City would soon change.

"Anyway, Captain Ye, I owe you my life, thank you."

Tang Tiansong smiled bitterly.

Ultimately, he had underestimated Ye Lingyue earlier and never expected a woman to have such great abilities.

"Captain Tang, no need to be polite, you helped Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya, so we are even. However, there is one more thing I need to ask you. Do you recognize this Elixir Bottle?"

Ye Lingyue produced the bottle previously handed to her by the Three Realms Eagle.

Seeing the bottle, Tang Tiansong’s expression was evidently uneasy.

He tried hard to conceal by lowering his eyes, attempting to hide the panic within.

"Captain Ye, this seems to be a kind of Elixir. I, Tang, being merely a Martial Artist, probably know even less about Elixirs than you."

"Captain Tang, there’s no need to be modest. If you don’t recognize this Elixir, why would there be residues of a similar Elixir in your meridians? Or are you saying that this bottle has nothing to do with your Tang family at all?"

When Ye Lingyue checked Tang Tiansong’s body, she had already noticed it.

Tang Tiansong wasn’t killed by Dongfang Liuli’s Black Cauldron Breath like Chu Tiankuang, not only because his Primordial Power was deep but also because his meridians and viscera contained a dense Spiritual Power.

This Spiritual Power was very similar to the effects of the Elixir in Ye Lingyue’s hand.

So saying, Ye Lingyue pointed to the very bottom of the Elixir Bottle where there was an ancient "Tang" character like a vermilion brand.

Ye Lingyue had previously inquired Tang Tiansong about the origins of the Heart Execution Grass, to which Tang Tiansong claimed ignorance.

But looking at it now, Tang Tiansong had lied; he not only knew the origin of the Heart Execution Grass but it even came from his family.

Otherwise, how else would traces of this Elixir remain in Tang Tiansong’s body?

This Elixir’s effect on promoting blood circulation and regenerating muscle is only slightly inferior to the White Tripod Breath; hence it must be linked to the Jiu Provinces Cauldron’s Piece.

Tang Tiansong was left speechless by Ye Lingyue’s relentless questioning.

"No wonder you’re Di Shen’s woman, just as aggressive as that kid."

Tang Tiansong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a bitter smile.

He had only just learned from Luo Qianche about Di Shen and Ye Lingyue’s relationship.

In the last public mission, he lost to Di Shen, and this time, he fell into the hands of Di Shen’s woman.

For Tang Tiansong, this was undoubtedly a double blow.

But after a life-and-death experience, Tang Tiansong became much more open-minded.

He also knew that he couldn’t continue to avoid the matter today, and since his life was saved by Ye Lingyue, he decided to reveal the years of secrets buried in his heart in one go.

"Captain Ye, please forgive my previous concealment. The reason I didn’t tell you wasn’t that I had any ill intentions, nor because I had any connections with Liu Guang Pavilion. This Elixir is indeed related to Tang; because Tang’s original family, the Outer Heaven Tang Family, specializes in cultivating Heart Execution Grass. However, I am no longer part of the Tang family and have not wished to be associated with them anymore, thus I hadn’t disclosed the matter to you. I ask for Captain Ye’s understanding."

Tang Tiansong said with difficulty, bringing up the past, his face showed signs of pain, indicating that the memory wasn’t pleasant.

The Outer Heaven Tang Family was also a renowned name in the Ancient Nine Provinces Continent.

Tang’s ancestor was one of the leading families in the Ancient Nine Provinces, alongside Jin Wannian, the elder of Third Young Master Jin’s family.

Unlike Third Young Master Jin with different fates of his peers, Tang Tiansong wasn’t a direct descendant of the Tang family.

He was a descendant of a lesser branch of the Outer Heaven Tang Family, and his father was one of the guards of the eldest young master of the Tang family, loyal to the Tang family for many years.

Due to his father, Tang Tiansong had the chance to live in the Tang family’s main house from an early age.

He had innate talent and was not inferior to those main family children.

But for some reason, at the age of eighteen, he was expelled from the main family, never to return.

Desolate and discouraged, Tang Tiansong led a wandering life.

"To return to the Tang family, these years I’ve been striving to become an exceptional Demon Hunter, hoping one day to return to the Tang family through my achievements. The Heart Execution Grass you mentioned is managed by one of the main family’s medicinal fields, which I secretly glimpsed as a child. Because I didn’t want anyone to know about my ties with the Tang family, I never confessed."
