At that time, as long as he finds a way, he can turn the tables on her! He can then take control and ruthlessly enslave her.
Thinking this through, the gray-robed old man chose to accept the contract, smiling obsequiously, "I am absolutely sincere!..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man's smile froze, because he sensed the powerful spiritual force attached to the power of the contract.
His eyes widened suddenly.
The mental strength of this little girl is so strong!
Instantly, a chill ran through my body.
"Tell me, why did the Deng family suddenly go to such great lengths to destroy the Sheng family and put the Du family in power?"
Wu Yan brought over a chair and placed it behind Liu Yue.
She yawned softly, sat down in the chair, and looked at Zhao Mingcheng with a leisurely air.
“It is… for…” Zhao Mingcheng looked at the little demon behind Liu Yue.
"The Deng family originally wanted to win over the Sheng family and make them work for them, but the city lord of Sheng City was unwilling and even scoffed at it," Zhao Mingcheng said.
"To be used by the Deng family? It seems they're going to do something shady?"
“Yes, yes, that’s right.” Zhao Mingcheng nodded: “The cultivation of the three elders of the Deng family all relied on the method of replenishing yang with yin, so… Lord Sheng was asked to search for young women and send them to the Deng family in the capital as cauldrons, but Lord Sheng was unwilling. Also, the eldest elder had taken a liking to Sheng Xiaoyao at the time.”
Upon hearing this, the little demon clenched her fists.
Back then, her mother was tricked into getting pregnant with her. With nowhere else to turn, it was Lord Sheng who took her in.
Later, in order to allow his mother to stay in the Sheng family mansion legitimately, the city lord of Sheng recognized his mother as his sworn sister. The city lord of Sheng helped many people throughout his life, but he never expected to end up like this.
"Because, because the Grand Elder heard that Sheng Xiaoyao is a half-demon, if she were to be used as a cultivation vessel... her cultivation would definitely be twice as effective."
"The method of replenishing yang by absorbing yin?" Liu Yue sneered. She never expected that such a treacherous cultivation method would exist in a place like the Canglan Continent.
Zhao Mingcheng: "Aunt, young lady, I've told you everything I know, and I don't know anything else..."
The Deng family was controlled by three elders, and he was just a lowly lackey, only fit to run errands.
"How many women has the Du family abducted during this period?"
“There are probably... about thirty or forty,” Zhao Mingcheng said after thinking for a moment.
"Activate the teleportation array."
"Aunt, young lady, do you want to go to the Deng family?"
Zhao Mingcheng's eyes widened in disbelief. What had he just heard?
This little brat is so audacious!
"Miss."
Sheng Yang walked over, covered in blood, his eyes filled with a chilling coldness.
======
The Deng family enjoys great prestige in the capital of Qinglong, simply because... the Deng family's eldest elder has a close relationship with the current empress.
The current empress comes from the Nalan family, but she broke with the family early on and is said to have never spoken to them again.
But few people know what happened between Empress Nalan and the Nalan family back then.
The eldest elder of the Deng family was recognized as the sworn brother by the current empress, so the Deng family could be considered half of the imperial relatives.
Therefore, even if the elders of the Deng family used an extremely insidious method of absorbing yin to replenish yang for cultivation, no one dared to interfere.
With Empress Nalan keeping things under control, no one dared to report it to the Emperor.
Meanwhile, the Deng family cabinet was in operation.
A scene of utter chaos, clothes lying scattered on the ground, a scene of wine, meat, and decadent indulgence.
These women were mostly gathered from lower-class cities; they possessed pure and clear constitutions and were extremely yin in nature, making them the most suitable to be used as cauldrons.
However, these girls who have not cultivated themselves, once used as a cultivation vessel, will find it difficult to live long; at most, they will die within a year.
"It seems something small has wandered in."
The Grand Elder at the head of the table suddenly opened his eyes.
He was over fifty years old, but he looked only in his early thirties, very young.
"Ha, that useless Zhao Mingcheng actually brought a stranger in here, damned thing." The elder played with the jade thumb ring in his hand, then pushed aside the weeping girl next to him, "Get out of here, you unlucky thing."
The entire Deng family estate was like a manor, even more magnificent than the imperial palace of Tianyan.
"I heard that Tianhe City has sent quite a few girls this time. How pitiful!"
"Yes, the girls sent to the grove never live more than a few months..."
"Shh, keep your voice down. If the masters hear you, you'll probably lose your head."
The maids hurried past.
Jun Liuyue emerged from behind the artificial hill. She handed several defensive talismans and teleportation talismans to Sheng Yang and Wu Yan, then looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Xiao Yao, you come with me."
"Okay, Miss." The little demon nodded obediently.
"The place where the girl is being held is in the southwest," Zhao Mingcheng said in a low voice, his smile more like a grimace. "Why don't you... go there yourself?"
If the Grand Elder finds out, he'll lose his head!
"lead the way."
Jun Liuyue spoke coldly.
"I..." Zhao Mingcheng choked, a hundred times unwilling, but he could only do as Liu Yue said.
“The Grand Elder has sent many cultivators to guard the South Garden. It’s harder than climbing to heaven for the girls inside to escape. It won’t be easy for us to go in either,” Zhao Mingcheng explained. “Why don’t we go back?”
The Deng family is not one that ordinary people can afford to offend!
Where are they?
After Zhao Mingcheng finished speaking, there was no response for a long time. He subconsciously looked back and saw that Jun Liuyue had already dealt with three patrolling guards.
Zhao Mingcheng: ?
She took care of three people in just a few seconds?
Zhao Mingcheng gasped in shock. What kind of monster was this?!
Just then, a low, disdainful voice, tinged with sneer, echoed from the void: "Why hide when you've broken into my Deng residence at night? Why not show yourself?"
Jun Liuyue's heart skipped a beat. She looked around, a slight ripple flashing in her eyes, and scoffed, "It seems that the Deng family elders knew we were here the moment we stepped in."
Oops, we've been found out.
This is really boring.
"I...I absolutely did not tip anyone off," Zhao Mingcheng hurriedly said. His life was in this little girl's hands; he wouldn't dare to tip anyone off even if he had eight hundred lives!
After all, as long as Jun Liuyue activates the power of the contract, he will die!
"The entire Deng family has been caught in a trap, didn't you know?" The girl raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly. "Of course, the elders of the Deng family also know that you have betrayed your master."
"Wh-what!"
Zhao Mingcheng trembled all over as if he were being sieved.
