Chapter 121 Playing Taizhen

The people present had been waiting anxiously for a long time. They wished they could see the spiritual fire immediately and tame it for their own use.

When they heard Yue Chao say that they could finally leave, everyone hurriedly moved their feet, and the group followed him in a mighty procession.

As I walked, I discovered something unusual.

"Where are we going?"

"Yeah, could it be underground?"

They first walked into a room, and then the female cultivator named Xiao Ruo unscrewed a ball, and with a click, a secret door opened.

There was a light in the secret door, but it was dim and moved without wind, like a ghostly light.

I could vaguely see some stairs leading down ahead.

For some reason, some people suddenly felt a little uneasy, as if the hairs on their arms were standing on end.

"Oh, look, all the lights outside are out!"

Only then did someone notice that, originally, the villa was bright everywhere, but as they entered the big house, the light outside disappeared completely, leaving only thick darkness, like ink.

Yue Chao spoke up, "Don't panic, everyone. Tonight is a big event. If people from other parts of the city see us, they might have bad intentions and come to snatch the spiritual fire. So in order not to attract attention, we have to do this."

When everyone heard this, no one spoke anymore.

This seemed to make sense. What happened tonight was supposed to be done quietly. Otherwise, if the news leaked out, everyone in the city would probably come over to get involved.

As for everyone, there are already enough monks coming tonight, and it will take a whole night to test them one by one.

If someone else came, then maybe my chance would be snatched away by someone else!

So he didn't express his opinion anymore, but just followed Yue and walked inside.

The secret passage was a bit narrow, only wide enough for two people to walk side by side, so everyone was divided into two teams and moved in in an orderly manner.

The people from the Xianlai Sect walked together and moved in very cautiously. They could smell the damp and stuffy smell here.

There were too many people in the aisle, and the smells from everyone were mixed together, which was not very pleasant.

Mo Jiuwei pinched her nose.

[Ugh, it smells terrible.]

[Who stinks so bad? ]

Upon hearing this, Chen Lan held Mo Jiuwei in her arms and covered her face with her sleeves.

At this moment, the fragrance from Chen Lan's body came closer, blocking a lot of the unpleasant sour smell.

After walking through the corridor, everyone felt that the view in front of them was suddenly clear!

There was a large room in front, like a large yard, with a slightly higher platform in the middle.

There was a box on the table, and not far away was a pale-faced man lying, with a maid taking good care of him.

I guess that man must be the young master of the Yue family? I don't know how serious his illness is.

Just as I was thinking this, I saw the man groan in pain and raised his arm with some ability.

As he moved, the thin gauze that lightly covered him slipped off, revealing the man's bloody arm and flesh.

Not only that, his neck was also covered in blood.

Just as Yue Chao described, half of his skin had fallen off, and the sight of that flesh and blood made people tremble in their hearts, and they wanted to look away quickly.

Seeing this, the maid quickly covered him with the veil again, as if this could preserve the young master's dignity.

"Young Master, bear with it a little longer, you will be well soon... I will give you some water."

The maid sobbed, picked up the bowl beside her and started feeding her with a spoon.

Everyone withdrew their gaze and looked towards Yue Chao and them.

"Then the spiritual fire is in the box, right? Can we start now?"

"Yes, we better hurry up, or it will be dawn soon."

"What are you waiting for?"

There was still a long time before dawn, and everyone said this just because they were getting impatient.

"Don't worry, everyone. I'll tell you something first."

A middle-aged female cultivator named Xiao Ruo walked onto the stage, stood next to the box, and glanced at everyone.

The Yue family had found quite a few cultivators, which seemed to be the result of efforts from many parties. The thirty cultivators found by the Yue Dynasty only accounted for more than 10% of the total.

At this time, the two hundred people were scattered around the central square platform, looking at the box with fiery eyes, as if they could see through what was inside.

After hearing Xiao Ruo speak, everyone managed to control their temper and turned their eyes to her.

"We have agreed beforehand that everyone has the opportunity to try to tame the spirit fire, but no matter who succeeds, they must heal my young master as soon as they tame it. Once the illness is cured, they can leave my Yue Family Villa at will."

"But if someone obtains the spiritual fire but refuses to cooperate and is unwilling to save the young master, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

Xiao Ruo had a cold face, and when he talked about falling out, he even drew out his sword, and the light on the sword emitted a dim light here.

"So that's all. Don't worry, if we get the spiritual fire, we will definitely keep our promise."

"That's right. If someone takes the spiritual fire but does nothing, we won't let him go."

When they heard that it was just this request, everyone started to speak up.

The reason for such cooperation is that the Yue family has said before that those who cannot get the spiritual fire will not come in vain, but will be rewarded with crystal stones from their Yue family.

Even for this reason, I will speak up for them.

[Ah, you really put on a good show, and you are quite dedicated. ]

[If I hadn't known what you were planning, I would have really thought that man was the real young master, and that he really had a strange disease.]

[Judging from the looks on other people's faces, I'm afraid they all believe it without a doubt.]

[That's right, they don't bother to care about what disease the young master has, they just want to know what the spiritual fire in the box looks like. ]

Mo Jiuwei thought as she sucked her fingers in Chen Lan's arms.

She didn't have the habit of sucking her fingers before, but the memory of this life began to awaken from her infancy. It's no secret... sucking fingers was really sweet when she was a baby, so Mo Jiuwei started doing this unconsciously.

So even though she is already one year old, she still eats it occasionally.

When the people from Xianlai Sect heard this, they couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

These words are actually all false?

The man lying on the couch was not the young master at all, and he was not sick? ?

Although they had been prepared, the blood on the man was too scary, and even they felt that it was extremely real.

It's no wonder that other people believe it so firmly. After all, this play… is so realistic.

"In that case, thank you all very much." Xiao Ruo bowed.

Someone couldn't wait any longer and urged, "Can we see the spiritual fire now?"

"That's right, hurry up!"
