"Are you questioning me?" Xia Wanqing's expression changed, and she looked at Jin Youqian with a gloomy gaze.
"Don't try to pin everything on me. Don't forget, you were the one who asked me to cooperate in the first place. Blame yourself for trying to take all the benefits. You'd better think this through. That bitch doesn't need you anymore. The only one you can rely on is my Hengyang Sect."
Xia Wanqing completely revealed her true colors.
Kim Yugyeom felt a sudden darkness before his eyes. Looking at Xia Wanqing, he began to wonder if she was truly the chosen one in the Heavenly Evolution Technique.
He dared not think about it.
"I always thought the Heavenly Evolution Technique was just a legend, but I never expected it to be the Jin family's secret art. So what do you have to be afraid of? As long as the Jin family obeys, I will naturally help you find a safe way to enter and exit the Bone Tomb."
Xia Wanqing spoke with an air of superiority, a smile of complete control on her exquisite face.
Kim Yugyeom's eyes dimmed instantly. Was this woman treating him like a dog that could be summoned and dismissed at will? He had been hunting hawks all day long, but one day he was the one pecked in the eye by the hawk.
He thought of a word.
A cornered dog will jump over the wall.
But now that things have come to this, he has no choice but to grit his teeth and keep going. All he can do is go all the way down this path and not give Qiyue any chance to retaliate.
After summoning several Nascent Soul elders from the family, Jin Youqian and Xia Wanqing discussed the matter and decided to set up the Seven Killings Formation outside the Xie family's auction house to capture Qiyue alive and obtain the Spirit Gathering Formation diagram.
Night fell and all was quiet. It seemed as if a giant beast was lurking in the darkness. Qiyue had anticipated that Jin Youqian would act desperately, so she had Jiuwei deliver a letter to Jin Shang, the second son of the Jin family.
When Jin Shang arrived with his men, they saw a group of clan elders lying in ambush outside the Xie family's auction house.
There are also some disciples of the Hengyang Sect.
As soon as Qiyue and Lou Xuanzhi stepped out of the Xie family auction house, they activated the formation to trap them inside.
"Father, do you really want to go in?" Hidden in the surroundings, Jin Linshu, the eldest son of the second branch of the Jin family, looked solemn.
Jin Shang patted him on the shoulder: "Nothing ventured, nothing gained. If we truly possessed the complete Heavenly Evolution Technique, why would we, father and son, remain subservient to others? The Jin family head should have been replaced long ago."
Kim Sang was determined; as a son, Kim Rin-seo no longer disobeyed his father.
Suppressing his cultivation and concealing his aura, Jin Shang disguised himself as a servant and entered the Xie family auction house. Following Qi Yue's instructions in the letter, he ordered a cup of tea, sat down in the southwest corner, and placed a token on the table.
"As expected of Patriarch Jin, you keep your word." Not long after the token was placed down, a pleasant female voice rang out from behind.
Jin Shang turned his head and saw a woman in green with her long hair loosely tied up, her face delicately sculpted, her eyes almond-shaped and her lips red. She had an ethereal air about her, and every move she made exuded a playful and cute charm. However, her beautiful eyes were as deep as an ancient well, making it impossible to discern her emotions.
"Miss Qi." Jin Shang was completely surprised that someone with such courage was a woman. His eyes showed surprise, but he did not dare to underestimate Qi Yue. He stood up and bowed politely.
"I am deeply grateful for your high regard, young lady. If I achieve great things as you have predicted, I will certainly live up to your expectations."
"Anyone can say nice things." Qi Yue made no attempt to hide her feelings and sat down next to Jin Shang.
"People's hearts are not what they used to be, and they are unpredictable. How do I know that you and your nephew are not the same kind of people? You should know that everyone in the world is driven by self-interest."
“Since you know about the Art of Evolution, you are no ordinary person. You will be far beyond my reach in the future. All you want is a promise. That’s perfect. What I value most in this life is truth and sincerity.”
“My nephew is always shrewd and never lets go of an opportunity. He wants both sides and doesn’t want to offend either side. But I’m different. I just want to take a gamble.”
"Good! I admire people like you!" Qi Yue smiled, her fingers lightly tapping the table.
"If you pledge allegiance to me, I will guide you to the Heavenly Evolution Technique within two months, and you will become the head of the Jin family. How about that?"
Kim Sang did not answer immediately, but instead asked another unrelated question.
"Could you tell me, what is the young lady's identity?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Yue smiled, her gaze towards Jin Shang unfathomable: "Don't you already know? Why ask me?"
Qiyue's answer explained everything. Having lived half his life, Jin Shang had already seen through many things. His gaze fell on the mysterious aura that was locked onto him with undisguised killing intent, and Jin Shang knelt on one knee in front of Qiyue.
"I, Jin Shangyuan, am willing to serve Miss Qi as my master and will never betray her. If I disobey, I will be destroyed, body and soul."
As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderclap shook the heavens and the earth.
At the same time, Kim Sang also felt that the aura that had been locking onto him had disappeared.
Qiyue handed a diagram of a spirit-gathering array to Jin Shang: "Tell Hengyang Sect, Fanyin Sect and Jin Youqian that I will be going to the Bone Tomb to find the Heavenly Evolution Technique in ten days. During this time, have your people intensify their cultivation. Remember to prepare more antidote pills, spirit-restoring pills and food."
"Yes!" Kim Sang's heart was pounding, and his eyes were shining with excitement.
He won the gamble.
Looking at Qiyue, he had already become a lackey: "Master, do you want me to be the one to set up the formation...?"
He made a throat-slitting gesture.
July stood up: "No need, just do what I asked you to do."
After saying that, Qiyue disappeared and reappeared on the second floor.
Jin Shang looked up and saw a beautiful woman in blue with an enigmatic smile on her face and a cold light in her eyes. Beside her was a strange-looking man in red and a servile middle-aged man.
Seemingly noticing Jin Shang's gaze, the man in red turned his head, his eyes filled with cold killing intent and warning.
