"The fetal wine is indeed extraordinary." Ye Xingchen frowned, looking up at the door in front of him, lost in thought.
He initially thought that the so-called fetal wine was just a fake folk remedy from some itinerant doctors, but when he arrived at this secret room, he sensed that something was wrong.
The invisible malevolent energy and the surrounding layout all point to an eerie atmosphere here.
“There’s a malevolent aura.” Liu Qingmei’s brows furrowed tightly. “These two alchemy furnaces in front of us are the foundation of an array. It seems that something inside is sealed and cannot come out.”
“That’s right. It seems this fetal wine is something special. At least the formation in front of us is something that ordinary people can’t set up. Let’s go in and take a look, but be careful,” Ye Xingchen said.
Liu Qingmei nodded, and with a wave of her right hand, the Black Water Stone appeared in her hand. She gripped the Black Water Stone tightly, looking as if she were facing a formidable enemy.
"You don't use your black water stone often, do you?" Ye Xingchen couldn't help but laugh at her expression.
“I don’t use it much.” Liu Qingmei shook her head: “I usually stay in the family and don’t have much contact with outsiders.”
“I am different from the people in my family. They practice Liu Sanqing’s demonic arts, while the demonic power on the black water stone in my hand comes directly from Liu Sanqing.”
"The demonic power on the Blackwater Stone is very strong. If I'm not mistaken, it should be made from a portion of Liu Sanqing's demon core." Ye Xingchen said with a smile, "Actually, from another perspective, the betrothal gift Liu Sanqing gave is quite substantial. It seems he values you quite a bit."
"Heh... well, I thank him then. He probably values someone else more." Liu Qingmei sneered.
She didn't want this honor; whoever wanted it could have it.
"Haha, I understand. Alright, let's go in and take a look." Ye Xingchen chuckled and pushed open the door.
As soon as the door was pushed open, a chilling aura rushed out.
The secret chamber was very large, about five or six hundred square meters in size, and right in front of the two of them was a huge altar.
On the altar were more than twenty huge wine jars, each sealed with yellow mud, and a blood-red talisman was pasted on the mud.
"The purpose of the Primordial Spirit Altar is to communicate with primordial spiritual energy and inject it into the array," Ye Xingchen pondered. "And an unborn fetus is a primordial entity. After various rituals and the use of medicinal herbs, it can indeed prolong life."
"Even if it's true, it's against all reason to sacrifice the lives of a fetus and a pregnant woman to extend their lifespans," Liu Qingmei said coldly.
"These people don't care about the Way of Heaven or the principles of Heaven at all." Ye Xingchen sighed slightly. "They are not satisfied with such a high position and power; they are trying to achieve immortality."
"What should we do with these things?" Liu Qingmei asked, staring at the things in front of her.
"The jar has been burned, the infant spirit has been collected, and tonight we'll go to the Yu family and ask Yu Guanzhong face to face whether human life can really be treated like dirt," Ye Xingchen said coldly.
He set fire to the wine jars, burning them to ashes. Then, Ye Xingchen collected the infant spirits and left with Liu Qingmei.
At night, the entire Yu family home was brightly lit.
"Changhe, my Changhe..." A hysterical wail echoed from the main hall of the Yu family villa.
The injured Yu Guanzhong looked at the shrunken corpse and couldn't accept that it was his beloved grandson, Yu Changhe.
A tall, healthy man weighing 1.8 meters and 200 kilograms has now become a dried-up corpse, weighing less than 10 kilograms.
Moreover, the person who did it was extremely ruthless. Yu Changhe's energy and spirit were completely drained, and even the water in his blood and body was evaporated cleanly.
He looked as if he had been weathered away; if his servants hadn't come to report it, he probably wouldn't have believed that his grandson had turned out like this.
"Who did this?" Yu Guanzhong roared, and everyone in the room fell silent, not daring to even breathe.
Everyone knows that Yu Guanzhong is most terrifying when he's angry. If anyone crosses him at that moment, they'll really be in big trouble.
The Yu family is not large; Yu Guanzhong only has this one grandson, and his son ruined his kidneys by indulging in debauchery in his younger years and is now infertile.
If his grandson dies, it will almost certainly mean the end of his family line.
He had quite a few adopted sons, but they were still adopted sons and had no blood relation to him. For him, the devastating news of his grandson leaving the palace was like a bolt from the blue.
"Master, it is, the elder's grandson, Liu Qingmei." The bald manager was terrified, his face turning ashen. He had come back to report this matter with the intention of committing suicide.
After all, the incident happened on his turf, and no one can guarantee that Yu Guanzhong won't hold a grudge against him.
However, he couldn't not come. If he didn't report this matter, the consequences would be even more serious if Yu Guan found him.
After much deliberation, he decided to confess. He had already made arrangements for his wife, children, and elderly parents, and he would accept it even if he died today.
"Liu Qingmei? You vixen..." Yu Guanzhong roared, "Changhe, are you out of your mind? Liu Qingmei is the woman Liu Sanqing has his eye on and considers her his own. Why did you provoke this vixen?"
"Don't worry, I'll go to the Shang family right now and personally kill Liu Qingmei and her granddaughter to avenge you."
Watching Yu Guanzhong roar like a madman, everyone held their breath, afraid that the old man might take his anger out on them.
After all, Yu Guanzhong is notoriously cruel.
“Master…” The bald manager gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"Did they say anything else?" Yu Guanzhong asked through gritted teeth.
"They asked me to tell you to disband the Yu family and leave Black City, or else..."
"Otherwise what? Speak!" Yu Guanzhong shouted.
"Otherwise...the entire Yu family will be wiped out." The bald manager lowered his body as much as possible, and cold sweat instantly poured down his forehead.
He risked losing his head when he said that.
Sure enough, as soon as he said that, he felt a cold, sharp gaze sweep over him.
Yu Guanzhong's murderous gaze lingered on him for a long time.
"Is that really what they said?" Yu Guanzhong's expression turned sinister, his withered face, as dry as tree bark, shifting between different emotions.
Those who know him well know that this is when he is angry, and it is also when he is most dangerous, because he may suddenly lash out and hurt someone at any time.
"Yes, yes." The bald manager nodded nervously; he was truly terrified.
"Heh, well then." Yu Guanzhong suddenly laughed, his expression growing colder and colder: "It seems I've been too lenient with some people all these years, to the point that they're no longer afraid of me."
