“You…” Wu Jun stood up and said angrily.
But Wu Changming stopped him, saying, "That's just how he is, don't take it to heart."
He then turned to Zhang Tongyang and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Why are you here? That's why I'm here!" Zhang Tongyang raised an eyebrow.
Wu Xun thought this person was extremely deserving of a beating, and if she got out of there, she would definitely teach him a lesson.
"You're here too..."
“That’s right.” Zhang Tongyang nodded.
"But I really didn't expect you guys to be so incompetent. You dared to barge in without knowing anything. Brother Wei's judgment is as bad as ever!" Zhang Tongyang said meaningfully.
Wuchen naturally guessed who Brother Wei was.
However, this person is probably...
"Did the Southern Emperor send you?" Wu Xun, however, didn't care about the intricacies of the situation and went straight to asking about the ultimate purpose.
"Yes, like you, we're here to investigate this witch clan."
“However, I know far more than you do. So, how about we cooperate?” Zhang Tongyang smirked.
The three exchanged a glance and immediately nodded.
After all, the three of them are currently in a vulnerable position.
If this person has a way to get them out, things will be much easier.
Judging from how easily this person entered and exited the witch clan's dungeon, he must possess some skill.
But I wonder why this person wanted to cooperate with them?
But what is the purpose?
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that he is alone and unable to carry the load, after all, two of them are members of the Wu tribe.
With someone to guide you, things become much easier.
Wuchen and Wuyi didn't know Zhang Tongyang at all.
But Wu Changming knew a little bit about it, after all, when they returned to the Great Wei, this person kept pestering His Majesty.
Presumably, His Majesty's kindness played a part in his willingness to help them.
"But I cannot rescue you for the time being."
"What do you mean? Are you playing us?" Wu Jun's face immediately darkened.
"Young lady, don't be so short-tempered, or no one will like you," Zhang Tongyang said with a grin.
Just before Wu Xun was about to erupt again, Zhang Tongyang said, "If I rescue you, they'll know you have accomplices, and they'll be even more wary of us. It's better if we do it secretly now."
What do you want to do?
"How about we exchange some information first?"
On Nan Xiangrong's side, after surveying the terrain, they did find a decent spot, perfect for setting up an ambush.
only……
We need to win a battle.
"You mean your Southern Dynasty's ancestors were deserters from our Wu tribe?"
"That's right."
"His Majesty found the late Emperor's notes in a secret compartment of a cold palace. They recorded many unknown things from that time. The late Emperor was once a subordinate of the ancestor of the Witch Clan and served him for a long time. However, the ancestor was already old at the time, but he was unwilling to die. So he searched everywhere for the way to immortality and even slaughtered his own people in a somewhat obsessed manner."
"Later, the ancestor found a heaven-defying method somewhere and devoured the power of his clansmen to strengthen his own life force. Finally, he entrusted his will to the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron, the supreme treasure of the Wu clan, in order to reproduce and proliferate."
"The Heaven-Devouring Cauldron?" Wu Yi frowned.
“It should be the one we saw,” Wu Changming said directly.
"You've found it?"
"Yes, right there..."
"Wait." Wu Yi stopped Wu Changming.
"We'll tell you after you rescue us."
Zhang Tongyang smiled dismissively: "You don't trust me? Fine, we'll be working together anyway."
"Then I'll continue. The ancestor used some method, even though his whole body had disappeared, with only a trace of his consciousness remaining in the cauldron, he could still make the clansmen work for him. He began to order people to search for those with the most Yin bodies and those with the purest Yang bodies." As he said this, he glanced at Wu Jun.
Wu Yi had a bad feeling.
"They must be a virgin boy and a virgin girl. The two must unite in the right time, place, and people, and then be placed in the cauldron to be absorbed by the ancestor. Only then can the ancestor live here forever and remain immortal for a hundred years."
Wu Yi thought that no matter what else she heard about the Wu Clan, she could remain calm and indifferent.
However, this was still beyond her expectations.
So, this saintess was someone who was drained dry?
She didn't understand the concepts of Yin and Yang, and thought that being chosen and having her life predetermined was already painful enough.
So, she was actually that important. Wu Xun couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Wu Chen and Wu Changming both looked at Wu Yi with some concern; her condition was clearly not right.
"Why are you all staring at me? Keep talking," Wu Xun said with a smile.
"I just can't accept it right now and still have expectations for the Witch Clan. Actually, I'm used to it. From the moment I was chosen as the Holy Maiden, I knew I had the mission of uniting with the clan leader. Now it's just another one added to the list."
Zhang Tongyang disregarded other people's feelings and continued, "The late emperor discovered that most of the Wu clan's power had already been absorbed by the ancestor, and the current Wu clan is entirely supported by that cauldron, strong on the outside but weak on the inside."
"Even that cauldron was not something the late emperor could handle. The late emperor was terrified when he saw the old clan becoming increasingly mad and even doing such shocking things. He had wanted to escape for a long time, but the clansmen were all controlled by the ancestor, and he could not escape at all. So he wanted to find a way to break the curse."
"As long as we break that cauldron, the Wu tribe will be no threat."
"How do we solve this?" Wu Changming asked.
"Burn it with fire? Or smash it with a hammer?"
"Wu Changming, have you lost your mind?" Zhang Tongyang rolled his eyes.
"Is the cauldron the important thing? What we need to remove is the divine consciousness of the ancestor inside the cauldron."
Wu Changming thought to himself, "Isn't this what you said about breaking the cauldron!"
"Finally, the late emperor sneaked into the ancestor's room and discovered the ancestor's cultivation secrets, but he was also discovered by his clansmen and had no choice but to flee in panic. Fortunately, he was rescued, which allowed him to..."
"Can you get to the point?" Wu Changming asked anxiously.
"Take it or leave it."
But he also said directly, "The late emperor said that the secret method also records the method to break this cultivation technique."
"What is it?" The three looked at him nervously.
"Success and failure both depend on Xiao He."
"Stop keeping me in suspense," Wu Changming said, his temper flaring.
Wuchen pondered for a moment before speaking, "Are you saying we should still rely on the Holy Maiden and the Clan Chief?"
"Smart." Zhang Tongyang snapped his fingers.
"The blood of a girl born in the Yin hour and a boy born in the Yang hour must be mixed and smeared on the Devouring Heaven Cauldron. This will surely cause that ancestor to be reduced to ashes."
"My blood is easy to obtain, but what about Wu Yao's?"
Now, Wu Yi has no attachment to the Wu tribe; she only wants to destroy this filthy place.
"Well, I'll take care of that."
"You? Can you do it?" Wu Xun looked at him skeptically.
