When Tokugawa Takes.h.i.+, who was stained with fresh blood, saw Ling Yun taking out the bronze cauldron, his blood-red eyes opened wide. He was desperately trying to climb over!

Chen Jianren, who was struck on his acupuncture points all over his body, wasn't able to move at all, but his eyes also lit up at the same moment. However, at the thought of his current situation, the light in his eyes immediately turned dull.

Dugu Mo wasn't polite at all as he stepped on the left shoulder of Tokugawa Takes.h.i.+, who was still trying to crawl over. He was, however, unable to contain the excitement in his eyes as he exclaimed, "Oh G.o.d! That is really the Shennong Cauldron. This trip here was really worth it, haha!"

Dugu Mo's level of excitement and tone was as though he was the one who obtained the Shennong Cauldron.

Even so, his heart was still in shock. Ever since he first met Ling Yun, he was already carrying the Devil Sect's Devil's Blade. Following which, he displayed his profound knowledge of spell formations, carried a magical gourd on him, could use talismans to heal, and also had the terrifying Fire Talisman. Additionally, he even had an unknown treasure which was able to contain all of these babies!

What kind of person was Ling Yun? A descendant of the Immortal Physician Sect? How was it possible that he hadn't heard of this sect before?

Also, Ling Yun's strength was truly frightening. He recalled clearly that back at Qingshui City's disco, Ling Yun was only in the elementary stages of Houtian Realm Level Five. When he attacked Ling Yun, Ling Yun had to retreat and fly around to dodge!

In just five to six days, when he met Ling Yun again at the bottom of the crater, Dugu Mo could tell that Ling Yun grew tremendously. He was no longer able to discern which cultivation level Ling Yun was currently at.

Dugu Mo felt as though the current Ling Yun had returned to his true self. If Ling Yun stood there quietly, he looked like an ordinary youth no matter how one looked at him. Besides his slightly good looking appearance and slightly attractive smile, there was simply nothing unique about him.

In fact, when Ling Yun wasn't angry, even his eyes looked much more gentle, calm, and collected than before. He no longer looked like he was showing off his ability or trying to dismiss others with his imposing manner. His smile was even brighter than the sun, incomparably pure, which made others want to approach him.

Dugu Mo was no longer able to find any more adjectives to describe Ling Yun, as his temperament was much better than before!

Moreover, whenever he was with Ling Yun, even an exceptional talent like Dugu Mo couldn't help but to somehow accept all his arrangements. It was as though Ling Yun should have been the boss around here from the very beginning.

What on earth is going on here? I am also a rare talent of the Dugu Family. How am I inferior to Ling Yun in every aspect?

"Ling Yun, if you can let me off and promise to return this Shennong Cauldron to my Tokugawa Clan, I can promise that all our vengeance will be written off immediately. Additionally, my Tokugawa Clan will give you everything that you want to ensure you live a glorious and wealthy life. I've got plenty of beauties with me too! You should know that the beauties from East Asia countries are exceptionally good at providing services for men!"

At a moment like this, Tokugawa Takes.h.i.+ was actually thinking about getting the Shennong Cauldron. The way he looked at the Shennong Cauldron was the same as an eighteen-year-old looking at his G.o.ddess stripping in front of him.

Ling Yun chuckled as he took out a picture of the cauldron lid before showing it to Tokugawa Takes.h.i.+. "You have no rights to discuss any conditions with me now. If I'm not wrong, this should be the Shennong Cauldron's lid right? Is it with your family now? Speak!"

Ling Yun shouted his final word with his Mystical Dragon Howl. This was enough to shock the struggling Tokugawa Takes.h.i.+ as he nodded shakily. "Yes!"

Ling Yun took this opportunity to ask, "Where is your house located?"

Tokugawa Takes.h.i.+ opened up his mouth and was about to answer when he suddenly came to his senses. He used his left hand to point at Ling Yun in astonishment before saying, "Ling Yun, are you a devil? Why do you have so many demonic techniques?"

Ling Yun was inwardly impressed by this East Asian man's strong willpower. He exerted all his force on his Mystical Dragon Howl, but he actually came back to his senses so quickly after.

Ling Yun smiled as he replied, "To deal with demons like you, I've naturally got to use demonic techniques. Tell me, how did you obtain the map of this place? If you give me a good answer, I can consider giving you a smooth and painless death!"

This was what Ling Yun was most worried about. The fact that Tokugawa Takes.h.i.+ had the map of this sealed mountain proved that his family already knew about the Shennongjia. This was indeed troublesome.

"Ling Yun, you cannot kill me. I've already sent everything that happened here back to my family. If you kill me, my Tokugawa Clan and all the families from East Asia will definitely chase you to the end of the world!" Tokugawa Takes.h.i.+ tried to frighten Ling Yun.

Ling Yun smiled faintly before slapping Tokugawa Takes.h.i.+'s head with his Devil's Blade. "Stop trying to scare me. We had an intense battle earlier, so how could you have the time to send a message back?"

However, Ling Yun was still a little startled by what he said. Back then, He Xingyan used a communicator that he carried with him to call three heaven-ranked killers over. That was what got Ling Yun into an extremely precarious situation. Now that Tokugawa Takes.h.i.+ mentioned that he had sent a message back to his family, Ling Yun wasn't completely dismissing it.

"It was of course when you were trying to catch this useless b.u.m…" Tokugawa Takes.h.i.+ used a lot of strength to turn to look at the motionless Chen Jianren. He turned back with a proud smile. "The technology in East Asia isn't something you traditional Huaxia people can understand!"

Ling Yun smiled as he pointed to the heavy guns around the tent before saying, "So what if we're traditional? Aren't we still able to obliterate every one of you?"

Ling Yun knew that Tokugawa Takes.h.i.+ was probably not lying about sending everything that happened back to his family. However, he was confident that the message didn't contain much information because Tokugawa Takes.h.i.+ had limited time.

However, Ling Yun had improved tremendously in terms of strength and had no limit to spiritual energy. He even had many treasured weapons on him, so he was never going to be afraid of the Tokugawa Clan.

However, Ling Yun was afraid of the unexpected, so he simply smiled coldly at Tokugawa Takes.h.i.+. "Mister Tokugawa Takes.h.i.+, I don't care whether you have guts or not, but I can a.s.sure you that the items of Huaxia will never end up in the hands of East Asians like you. Don't worry, this cauldron lid…"

Ling Yun continued to wave the picture in front of Tokugawa Takes.h.i.+ before continuing his sentence, "I will definitely get it back one day! You can head back without worrying!"

After saying that, Ling Yun's swung his right hand lightly and Tokugawa Takes.h.i.+'s head fell onto the ground.

"Genius, didn't we agree that I get to kill him? Why did you suddenly do it?"

Dugu Mo was so frightened that he jumped out of the way when he saw Ling Yun suddenly swinging his blade. Even so, the blood spat out by Tokugawa Takes.h.i.+ still managed to stain his s.h.i.+rt.

"It doesn't matter who kills him…" Ling Yun smiled faintly as he looked towards Chen Jianren. "Back then, he was the one we agreed on."

"Please don't kill me! I am just a fool, so please let me go!" When Chen Jianren saw how decisive Ling Yun was, he started pleading for his life without a care for anything.

If he could move, he would have started to kowtow like grinding garlic.

"Let you off?" Ling Yun chuckled. "Let you off so you can continue acting as an accomplice to the tiger? So you can take credit from the Tokugawa Clan? Let you off so you can seek revenge on us in the future?"

"You mentioned that you would give me one chance…" Chen Jianren's face turned pale as his voice was trembling.

Ling Yun laughed out loud. "Oh, and you remember this so clearly. Alright, then speak. Tell me what's going on here."

Since Chen Jianren could only plead for his life now, he hurriedly mentioned, "I'll speak, I'll speak, I'll tell you everything…"

So it turned out that during the time when the East Asians invaded Huaxia, they fought all the way to Shennongjia in the later stages of the war. That was when they conducted an exploration of Shennongjia without restraint and even robbed people who lived around the area. Within an old hunter's house, they found the cauldron lid.

Because it was a piece of bronze equipment, they knew that it was an impressive historical relic. After asking the old hunter, they found out that the old hunter obtained it while hunting in Shennongjia back when he was young. Therefore, they forced the old hunter to bring them to the place to look for the cauldron body.

At that time, the old hunter was already over seventy years old, so how could he withstand the journey? After just ten days, the old hunter led them to the mountain in front of the valley before he contracted a severe cold and pa.s.sed away in the mountains.

At that point in time, the war was ending, and the East Asians lost the war. These people couldn't make it to search the sealed valley, so they left in a hurry. However, East Asians had always been cautious people, so they created a map of the place so that they could return to look for the cauldron one day.

That cauldron lid eventually ended up in the hands of the Tokugawa Clan. They had found all sorts of specialists to a.n.a.lyze this cauldron lid from all aspects and eventually concluded that the cauldron lid was a part of the legendary Shennong Cauldron.

And the Shennong Cauldron was even related to an even bigger secret that was the Earth Emperor's Book!

As long as one could find the Shennong Cauldron, there would be a chance to find the Earth Emperor's Book. Therefore, the Tokugawa Clan started looking at opportunities to work with the major families in Huaxia. Eventually, they came to an agreement with the Chen Family of the capital. This was why they were able to bring so much equipment and enter Shennongjia.

And the expert the Chen Family sent to accompany and open access to various places was indeed Chen Jianren.

Of course, Tokugawa Takes.h.i.+ couldn't trust Chen Jianren completely, so even Chen Jianren didn't know what they came to find. All he knew was that his task was to accompany Tokugawa Takes.h.i.+ to find something in Shennongjia. The moment they found it, he would receive endless benefits. Therefore, he acted like a slave who would always be there at their beck and call. Once the mission was accomplished, he would be heavily rewarded when he returned.

After listening to Chen Jianren's detailed explanation, he understood everything and chuckled. "So what was the agreement your Chen Family had with the Tokugawa Clan?"

Chen Jianren shook his head hurriedly. "This is an absolute secret between the families, so it's not possible for me to know. However, my family is currently ranked third among the seven big families in Beijing. Perhaps it is to stomp all over the Long Family and become the number one family in Beijing?"

Ling Yun nodded as he smiled. "Then tell me, how can I leave Shennongjia in the fastest possible way?"

Chen Jianren really thought Ling Yun was going to let him off, so he told him the truth. After telling him everything, Ling Yun nodded with a smile. "You've done well, so you can die now!"

"What! Didn't you say you were going to let me off?" Chen Jianren was beyond dumbfounded.

"Idiot! Why would you believe my joke?" Ling Yun gave Dugu Mo a look.

Dugu Mo sneered coldly before using his sword to pierce through Chen Jianren's throat!
