Chapter 830 The Truth - Immortality
He pointed to the two skeletons lying in the coffin. Although his words were not pleasant to hear, Mu Fan surprisingly listened.
Yes! If there really was medicine, why didn't the owner of this tomb take it himself?
With a sense of relief, Mu Fan felt as if all his energy had been drained, and he collapsed to the ground.
Not far away was Princess Baiyun, who seemed to be asleep. "Princess, I am sorry."
Mu Fan suddenly burst into tears, looking like a child who had been deceived.
The old man looked at him and felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart. Sure enough, servants are servants, they are all people who cannot be brought to the table.
After taking another look at the tomb, the old man's gaze fell back on Gu Shuyan. He remembered that Bai Xu had mentioned that there seemed to be some kind of memorial service or ceremony.
But there's absolutely no altar inside!
There are no mechanisms or altars, yet only descendants are allowed to enter. Could it be...?
The old man instantly looked at the two skeletons. Had he been wrong from the start? When Gu Shuyan took off the bracelet, he assumed it was for the true purpose of needing a descendant of the previous dynasty. But if that wasn't it, did it mean they could try this method?
With a sudden thought, the old man leaped up. Yun Yichen didn't know what the old man was going to do and thought he wanted to fight them to the death.
But as soon as his hand touched the sword, Yun Yichen regretted it, because he saw that the old man had once again snatched Gu Shuyan away from him.
While everyone was still in shock, the old man had already slashed open Gu Shuyan's wrist with lightning speed, and then the blood quickly dripped onto the skeleton.
"Xu Menglong, what are you doing? Let go of Shuyan right now!"
Upon seeing the blood left by Gu Shuyan, Emperor Wei shouted at the old man.
Yun Yichen and Xu Yunzhi immediately attacked the old man, but unfortunately the old man's martial arts were too strong, and even with their combined efforts, they were unable to save Gu Shuyan.
"Xu Menglong, let go of Shushu!"
Yun Yichen was on the verge of losing his temper. Since Gu Shuyan married him, she had never suffered such an injury. And it happened right under his nose, with her wrist slashed.
Knowing that his skills were inferior to the two, Gu Renjie would only be a hindrance if he went forward, so he could only watch anxiously as the three of them fought.
Just as the two sides were locked in fierce combat, Gu Shuyan saw a glint of light flash on the skeleton, followed by two beams of intense red light bursting out from the coffin.
Gu Shuyan's blood clearly had an effect; the old man released Gu Shuyan and pushed her to the ground. Seeing this, Yun Yichen quickly caught Gu Shuyan and bandaged her wounds.
The others focused their attention on the red light, and then the two beams of light converged in the air, forming a beam that shot toward the top of the tomb.
"Where is... a giant dragon?"
A dragon-shaped figure formed on the top of the tomb, which then transformed into a phoenix, flew towards the large bed inside the tomb, and disappeared.
The old man practically scrambled over there, and where the beam of light disappeared, was a small, hidden compartment.
After much effort, the old man finally opened the hidden compartment, and there really was a delicate little box inside.
"Heh, heh heh, found it, finally found it."
The old man laughed and opened the box as quickly as possible. Inside, sure enough, were two pills placed side by side.
When Gu Shuyan saw the old man stuff the pills into Princess Baiyun's mouth without saying a word, and then quickly swallow another one himself, Gu Shuyan tried to stop him, but it was too late.
"Baiyun, we can live forever and be together forever."
The old man spoke with near-madness, turning to look at Emperor Wei with longing in his eyes.
"what are you up to?"
Emperor Wei had a bad feeling. Xu Menglong was too terrifying. He looked like a hungry ghost who wanted to devour him.
"Mu Fan, it's time to make a move."
Startled by everything that suddenly happened, Mu Fan was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He hurriedly tried to pull Wei Huang away, but Wei Huang had already shielded Xu Yunzhi behind him.
"Young master, please move aside."
Mu Fan was, after all, Princess Baiyun's bodyguard, and Xu Yunzhi was the young master he had promised Princess Baiyun to take care of, so Mu Fan did not intend to actually fight Xu Yunzhi.
"What are you trying to do? You just hurt my sister-in-law, and now you want to deal with my uncle?"
From the very beginning, the old man had tried every means to bring the Wei Emperor here. He didn't believe it was just to let him see the tomb.
Mu Fan was the one who understood the old man's plan best. Looking at the battered and bruised Emperor Wei, Mu Fan's face was full of guilt.
"I am only doing this for Her Highness the Princess. Please do not stop me, young master."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yunzhi pointed at the lifeless Princess Baiyun and said, "For someone who has been dead for over twenty years, you're going to hurt your living uncle? I think you're just like that madman, both of you have gone mad."
Xu Yunzhi truly couldn't understand what kind of logic this was.
Although Princess Baiyun is their mother, so what? Compared to their uncle, who has been dead for many years and with whom they have little affection, isn't his life more important than that so-called mother?
"Yunzhi, don't waste your breath on him, they've all gone mad."
Gu Renjie had come over at some point, and seeing that the old man had actually used a dagger to slash Princess Baiyun's hand, Gu Renjie had already given up all hope for this man.
As expected, when Mu Fan saw that neither of them would cooperate, he began to fight with them for the person.
As Yun Yichen helped Gu Shuyan to her feet, he looked at Princess Baiyun's hand, which had been cut open by the old man, and exclaimed in surprise, "You actually used the Blood Spirit Mushroom to preserve Aunt's body from decay!"
Blood Ganoderma, a medicine that can save lives in critical moments, was used by the old man in this way.
He's gone mad, truly gone mad! For someone to become like this, he must be seriously insane.
"No, it wasn't me. Back then, that bastard Wu Liming told me that the Blood Spirit Mushroom could revive the dead, but after I used it on Baiyun, she didn't come back to life. Fortunately, the Blood Spirit Mushroom was able to protect Baiyun's body, otherwise I would have killed that scoundrel Wu Liming long ago and buried him with Baiyun."
The old man is now fearless. He has given Baiyun the medicine, and as long as Baiyun has the blood of someone close to her, she can be resurrected.
"You're a madman, you really are a madman."
Although he didn't know the circumstances back then, Yun Yichen was certain that when his master mentioned the Blood Spirit Mushroom, he must have told him that it was for people on the verge of death.
The old man took it upon himself to inject the deceased Princess Baiyun into his body, and then blamed his master for deceiving him.
Upon hearing this, the old man looked at Yun Yichen with a strange smile, "Mu Fan, hurry up and finish this."
In the old man's opinion, with Mu Fan's strength, as long as he didn't suspect that Xu Yunzhi and Gu Renjie were the sons of Princess Baiyun, he would definitely be able to subdue the two of them within twenty moves and bring the Emperor of Wei over.
