Chapter 1184 Xuanyu 40
"Now that you're in my hands, do you think I'd let you escape?" Tan You teased, like a big cat playing with a little mouse: "Since you're here, why don't you go and take a look inside my formation first?"
She simply and brutally threw Huangfu Rong into the formation, and soon Huangfu Rong became like a madman within it. He had already lost a fragment of his soul, making his mind unstable, and now that he had entered Tan You's formation, there was a faint tendency for inner demons to sprout.
Immortal Lords are all childless; for example, Huangfu Jianchun only has two children, Huangfu Rong and Huangfu Wei, over the years. Now that Huangfu Rong has been thrown into the formation by Tan You, how could Huangfu Jianchun let it go?
He boasted that he was also proficient in formations, and instead of arguing with Tan You, he was focused on breaking the formation to rescue Huangfu Rong. Seeing his attitude, Tan You kindly said, "This is no fun at all. If you want to break my formation, you'll have to experience it for yourself to see it clearly."
"I'll help you, no need to thank me!" With that, Tan You moved the chess pieces around again, and in the blink of an eye, Huangfu Jianchun was sent into the formation by Tan You to keep his eldest son company.
Huangfu Wei initially held onto hope, after all, the Huangfu clan was renowned for its array formations. However, she never expected that her own father, the patriarch of the Huangfu clan, who was famous throughout the Immortal Realm, would also display such a disgraceful behavior after entering the array.
"How...how could you be so disrespectful to your elders?" Huangfu Wei was so angry that her eyes were practically spitting blood, but all she could do now was appeal to her status.
Tan You sneered, "Elder? What kind of elder is he to me? I thought the Immortal Realm was about respecting the strong, but I didn't expect that we still have to follow the rules of hierarchy and etiquette. But that applies to you humans. Am I even human?"
Mo Long chimed in, "Of course not! We're a renowned great demon beast!"
It's all about watching the excitement and not caring about things getting worse. Anyway, if the sky falls, Tan You will be there to hold it up, and it can just be a cheering follower.
Tan You smiled and asked, "Did you hear that?"
"To be honest, I'm curious," Tan You's gaze fell on Helian Qiao, "Since you want to be my father, then let me ask you, as a Xuanwei Merfolk, a superior race in the Immortal Realm, why did you end up in the lower realm?"
Helian Qiao was taken aback, and his expression changed. How could he possibly say something like this in public when it involved family scandals?
“There were some unexpected circumstances when you were born,” Helian Qiao said vaguely, trying to gloss over the matter, as if he had truly met his nemesis when he met Tan You.
“When your mother gave birth, I was fighting on the front lines. Your mother was the only one in the courtyard. At the time of her delivery, there were bandits from outside the clan who were ruthless and killed her. Your mother was not good at close combat, so in order to protect you, she had no choice but to send you to the lower realm.”
"And your mother also perished in the battle against the enemy."
"An outsider?" Tan You mocked, "No matter what, the Helian family is a prominent family in the Immortal Realm. Your wife is giving birth, and she's the only one in the family?"
"Are your guards and family retainers all dead? People who aren't there in crucial moments are better off dead."
Tan You spoke casually, but the murderous intent within was palpable to everyone present. Everyone felt a chill run down their spines; despite her ever-smiling and approachable demeanor, she harbored a deadly intent.
Helian Qiao's expression was somewhat grim: "Your mother has been gone for many years, but before she passed away, her greatest concern was for you. Now that you have finally ascended to heaven, it is only natural that you should come home so that our family can live together in harmony, thus fulfilling your mother's wish."
“I only went back with you because I thought my life was too long,” Tan You said bluntly. “Your wife died under mysterious circumstances, don’t you have any explanation? She was a Xuanwei merman, not good at close combat, her only ability was to glimpse the secrets of heaven.” “Although I am in the lower realm, I also know some news from the upper realm. Xuanqi predicted that Helian Qiao and her sister have the destiny of high gods.”
Tan You casually uttered those words, and was pleased to see Helian Qiao's expression change drastically. Then her gaze swept over Helian Sheng, Zhong Liyan, Huangfu Wei, Helian Xi, and finally Nangong Yan and Helian Xing.
Zhong Liyan and Nangong Yan both looked unwell. They knew that even if the two of them didn't directly attack Xuanqi when he was in trouble, they must have done something behind the scenes.
"The so-called Helian Qiao's two daughters is just a title, it doesn't refer to any specific person." Tan You smiled and played with the chess piece: "Just like possession, status can be replaced, as long as it bears the title of Helian Qiao's two daughters."
“I bet that’s what you all think,” Tan You said with a smile. With a slight movement of her fingers, Huangfu Wei, Zhong Liyan, and Nangong Yan were thrown into another formation. No one knew how she had set up the formation right under everyone’s noses.
Unlike Huangfu Jianchun and Huangfu Rong, who were subjected to torture, Huangfu Wei and the others were placed in a soul-capturing formation. Above the formation, three enormous cloud formations appeared, containing the experiences of Helian Qiao's other three wives over hundreds of thousands of years.
Jin Ming and Jin Han whispered to each other, "When did you think the master set up the Soul-Capturing Array?"
Jin Han: "The master made arrangements when the bloodline reverted to its ancestral form. Since the bloodline reversion is so painful, the master must have found something else to distract himself from the pain."
"Besides, with such a prodigy as the lady, her emergence from seclusion will definitely cause a huge commotion, and all sorts of people will come to inquire. Even if it's not someone from the Helian clan who comes, it will be someone else."
"Once you reveal your true form, her identity will naturally be revealed to the world, and the Helian clan will come to you on their own."
Jin Ming understood: "So, whether there's a chance or not, let's test the waters first."
Jin Han: "That's exactly the point. Adults always think ahead and never do anything in vain."
"Look, haven't all the things that were supposed to come arrived?"
The Soul-Capturing Array was incredibly powerful, and soon the scene of Xuanqi's childbirth appeared. At the same time, more and more Immortal Lords gathered around Biluo Ridge; after all, it concerned the gossip and scandals of several major families in the Immortal Realm—who wouldn't be curious?
Just before Xuanqi gave birth, Zhongli Yan temporarily transferred the guards from Xuanqi's courtyard. Huangfu Jianchun's clansmen broke into Xuanqi's villa and wreaked havoc, but while Xuanqi was fighting desperately, no one from the Helian clan came to her aid.
In Nangong Yan's memory, she deliberately created chaos in the northwest corner of the Helian family's territory, attracting all the guards within the territory. In this way, the three groups of people cooperated to send all the people in Xuanqi's courtyard away.
In particular, Huangfu Wei's various schemes and her secret plots with Huangfu Jianchun were all revealed to the public in detail.
Tan You snapped her fingers, dispelling the Soul-Sealing Array. The three once glamorous ladies now sat on the ground in a disheveled state, their eyes filled with hatred as if they wanted to devour Tan You alive.
