Chapter 1847: Chapter 1847: Two Sly Bastards
"Alright." Han Yan looked over the Ghost Talisman several times, only after confirming it was correct.
There was no choice; the drawing was indeed too chaotic.
"Let’s move out, then." Long Wudang said.
"Wait, take a look at what’s behind you?" Han Yan pointed behind him.
Long Wudang instinctively turned back but saw nothing, confused he said, "There’s nothing there..."
Just as his word came out, a pill was slipped into his mouth.
"What did you make me eat?" Long Wudang’s face changed dramatically, he pinched his throat hard, but the pill melted instantly in his mouth, impossible to retrieve.
"It’s just a pill to boost your cultivation. No need to thank me, we’re all on the same side, I wouldn’t harm you." Han Yan said with a smile.
"What kind of pill?" Long Wudang asked.
"Seems it’s called the Ten Thousand Ants Devouring Heart Pill. Even if I told you, you wouldn’t know. Anyway, it’s greatly beneficial for your cultivation." Han Yan said.
"Ten... Ten Thousand Ants Devouring Heart Pill..." Long Wudang stammered, repeating it once. Although he had never heard of the Ten Thousand Ants Devouring Heart Pill, the name alone hinted it wouldn’t be anything good, beneficial to cultivation was out of the ordinary.
"Relax, the name might sound scary, but it’s actually harmless. As long as nothing goes wrong later, it won’t hinder you at all." Han Yan kept up a genuine smile, but even a fool could hear the implied threat in her words: if nothing goes wrong, there’s no harm, but what if something does?
"You’re ruthless." Long Wudang knew Han Yan didn’t trust him, fearing he might do something behind her back. In fact, he had indeed entertained such thoughts but was hesitating; now, he dismissed them altogether.
Behind him, Gao Weihu’s face twitched a bit. Initially, he wanted to remind Han Yan not to harm others but guard against them. Judging by the look of things now, he might have underestimated her.
Outside the back wall of Long’s mansion, two figures hid among the shadows of trees, secretly observing the movements inside the courtyard.
"Han Yan, where did you get the Ten Thousand Ants Devouring Heart Pill?" Ling Baobao, having spent quite some time in the Holy Court Continent, heard of the Pill’s infamous name, asked curiously.
"There’s no Ten Thousand Ants Devouring Heart Pill; I tricked him with just a Heart Soothing Pill." Han Yan disclosed without reservation.
"Tricked him..." Ling Baobao, recalling Long Wudang’s face, as dark as ink, was left speechless.
"What if he doesn’t believe it?" Ling Baobao asked worriedly.
"You know how cowardly and afraid for his life he is; he wouldn’t dare take a risk with his little life. Even if I straightforwardly gave him a Heart Soothing Pill, he’d suspect it’s poisoned, let alone when my words are so clear." Han Yan said confidently.
Having been reincarnated twice and experienced life, she still had an eye for reading people.
"True." Ling Baobao thought for a moment and said, feeling somewhat grateful not to be Han Yan’s enemy, or else he’d likely be deceived without knowing how.
Han Yan’s gaze slightly focused, but her Divine Sense had already penetrated through the thick walls, capturing all the scenes inside. The patrolling guards naturally couldn’t escape her powerful Divine Sense. This was her primary reason for daring to venture into the Long Family; even if Long Wudang had duplicitous thoughts, she could foresee them with her strong Divine Sense and escape calmly.
Of course, having Long Wudang obediently compliant was preferable, hence the ploy with the Ten Thousand Ants Devouring Heart Pill.
As night deepened, a sudden orange-red firelight shone in the depths of Gai Family mansion.
"Fire, fire!" Following that was panicked shouting.
Long Wudang’s figure quickly appeared in the courtyard, shouting a few commands, and the courtyard guards hurried toward the mansion’s depths. After all, the inner mansion was the core of the entire residence, and any special situation, all guards prioritized its protection.
Han Yan, carrying Ling Baobao, flew up, leaping over the outer wall, and then quickly headed towards Long Wucuo’s residence as guided by the map.
The entire Long Residence was in chaos, no one noticed anything peculiar about these two.
Not knowing which part the fellow set ablaze, causing such commotion, Han Yan found even the mask on her face unnecessary upon witnessing the chaotic situation.
Soon, they arrived at Long Wucuo’s estate, the courtyard surprisingly empty. Han Yan knew it was due to Long Wudang setting the fire; probably the incident happened so suddenly that Long Wucuo didn’t think much and rushed with guards to extinguish the fire.
However, given their abilities, the fire probably wouldn’t take long to put out, and Long Wucuo might soon realize something’s off and send people back, so Han Yan wasted no time; as soon as she entered the room, she immediately gathered her Divine Sense to probe around.
For anyone else, finding the Chaos God Sword hidden deeply and protected by layers of seals wasn’t an easy task. But for Han Yan, having seals made it even easier to find. In moments, her powerful Divine Sense sensed the unique aura fluctuation of the seal.
Wow, behind the wall lamp there are actually eighteen layers of Sealing Restrictions. It appears Long Wucuo leaving no one behind wasn’t just due to sudden circumstances but probably related to these seals. With such tight protection, how could it be easily broken in a short time?
Evidently, Long Wucuo had full confidence in the Long Family’s ancestral Sealing Technique. Unfortunately, he encountered Han Yan.
Those eighteen seals, to Han Yan, seemed laughable, like eighteen locks all using the same key, effortlessly, she broke them one by one. An ordinary, unremarkable sword appeared before her eyes.
At first glance, it seemed no different from the common Priest Longsword, but Han Yan distinctly felt an aura akin to Chaos within it. Injecting her Divine Sense into it, she momentarily sensed confusion, as though about to be lost within.
Indeed, it was the Chaos God Sword. Han Yan shook her head to clear her thoughts.
Initially worried Long Wucuo might play sly tricks, now it was entirely confirmed.
"That was too easy to get, not exciting at all." Ling Baobao remarked disappointedly. It was his first time engaging in sneaky deeds, naturally feeling thrilled and anxious, unexpectedly achieving it so effortlessly left him wanting more.
"Don’t waste time, let’s go." Han Yan grabbed the Chaos God Sword, ready to vanish. Others were keen on fewer troubles when stealing, yet this guy was complaining there wasn’t enough excitement.
"Wait, you don’t want to give Long Wucuo a surprise?" Ling Baobao showed a mischievous smile.
Han Yan looked at Ling Baobao’s mischievous smile and then at the seemingly ordinary Chaos God Sword in her hand, feeling a slight stir.
Their sly attributes, both Han Yan and Ling Baobao possessed.
