At that moment, the transmission stone carried an icy voice again: "Sect Master Feng, let's not beat about the bush. I have already given you half of the items. Also, I have made compensations according to the damage you suffered. If you continue to delay, the consequences might be grave if the old patriarch gets irritated."
"I understand, I will do it as soon as I can!" Feng Jianghai, from the very beginning, had been locking onto Chu Mo with his divine sense, but he did not sense any nervousness from him.
After turning off the transmission stone, Feng Jianghai's expression grew even more grave. He glanced at Chu Mo and suddenly took out a piece of jade from his bosom and tossed it to him: "Stay here for now. In a moment, you will enter this room. The woman inside has been sealed by me and poses no danger. Guard this place and the moment someone enters, immediately crush this jade. I will arrive here instantly. Do you understand?"
"Huh? I... I'm afraid I might not do well..." Chu Mo looked embarrassed: "What if I ruin your grand plan, Sect Master..."
Feng Jianghai finally let out a sigh of relief. Chu Mo's reaction had satisfied him. He glanced at Chu Mo, saying warmly: "Do you wish to remain a shameful illegitimate child for your entire life? Don't you want to enter the inner sect and become an inner sect disciple? Or even become a personal apprentice of an elder?"
"I... I've always dreamt of… it's just…" Excitement flooded Chu Mo's face.
With a faint smile, Feng Jianghai said: "Now your chance has come. As long as you do this well, I will personally help you rise in the future. At that time, even your brothers and sisters who want to harm you won't have the opportunity, or the audacity."
His eyes reddening, Chu Mo went on his knees in gratitude. Feng Jianghai gestured him to get up, and a gentle force propped him up: "You don't need to be so formal. Just do this task well and it will be enough."
Having spoken, Feng Jianghai vanished from Chu Mo's sight with a flash.
Chu Mo held the jade, thought for a moment, and pushed the door to enter the prison cell.
The cell was small and completely visible at one glance. There was a wooden bed with a woman lying on it at the end of the room. From her figure and clothing, it was undoubtedly Fang Lan.
Still, Chu Mo used the Heavenly Sky Divine Mirror to inspect the woman.
"Primordial Infant initial stage, male."
The information from the Heavenly Sky Divine Mirror left Chu Mo chilled. Only then did he realize that he had walked right into Feng Jianghai's trap after painstakingly infiltrating this prison cell!
The rumor that Fang Lan was imprisoned in the Black Prison was deliberately spread to lure him into the trap. Then a person was sent to deliver food as a ruse to lull him into believing that Fang Lan was really held here.
However, Feng Jianghai did not expect Chu Mo to have similar cunning plans.
Chu Mo idled while working out his plan in his mind. He sat there obediently.
Since Feng Jianghai had said that the prisoner was sealed and couldn't wake up to speak, all he needed to do was to sit quietly here, alert!
Chu Mo also needed time to figure out exactly where Fang Lan was being held!
He wondered what the Fire Dragon Cup was all about? What method did he need to employ to subdue the Fire Dragon Cup? And what would be its use after he had subdued it?
At the same time, Chu Mo needed to confirm one thing. That was... would Xiao Wanjun and Li Fangzhong betray him?
If those two really betray him, then he also had enough time to escape from here. At worst... he would assume another identity.
He was determined not to rest until he had thoroughly disrupted the Lingyue Sect.
Chu Mo sat there quietly for more than half an hour when someone came and opened the door directly.
As Chu Mo looked up, he saw the expressionless face of Feng Jianghai and hastily stood up: "Sect Master..."
"It's nothing, I just came to check." Feng Jianghai said in a deep voice, scanning the room with a glance before leaving directly.
A sigh of relief escaped from Chu Mo's heart. The suspiciousness of this peak Primordial Infant cultivator astounded him. At the same time, Chu Mo sensed that Feng Jianghai didn't gain anything from Xiao Wanjun and Li Fangzhong.
That is to say, those two did not betray him!
It was indeed so. Feng Jianghai had just gone to see Xiao Wanjun and Li Fangzhong and saw the food box left by Chu Mo.
However, those two completely ignored his presence. Regardless of how he questioned, they didn't respond. Actually, Feng Jianghai had grown accustomed to such treatment over the years and didn't expect any replies from them either.
It was indeed strange for him to see them beg Zhou Qingyun for food.
But upon a second thought, it was not strange as those two had not tasted any worldly food for hundreds of years!
With these questions answered, Feng Jianghai finally felt a little at ease. That was why he returned after more than half an hour. However, now Feng Jianghai was completely reassured.
The reason for his departure was that he had more important things to do.
He was about to refine a Spirit Entering Pill!
Previously, Feng Jianghai had demanded various resources, techniques, mentality, weapons... the Blood Demon Sect promptly agreed to half of his requests.
But these resources were enough for Feng Jianghai to refine a Spirit Entering Pill!
The so-called Spirit Entering Pill was one of the top-tier elixirs in the Spirit Realm. Almost no one could successfully refine it. But Feng Jianghai had a formula to refine the Spirit Entering Pill.
The Feng family's ancestors managed to ascend to the Immortal Realm by employing their unique skills. He passed the formula down to his direct descendants. This is why after so many years, the Feng family still controls the Lingyue Sect. This is the fundamental reason.
Because the biggest secret of the entire Lingyue Sect… is still in the hands of the Feng family!
And the formula for refining the Spirit Entering Pill, in fact, comes from the Fire Dragon!
This is the biggest secret of Feng's family and the greatest secret of the whole Lingyue Sect.
Feng Jianghai knew the power of the Blood Demon Sect and was very afraid of them. When a person fears another to a certain extent, there are only two results.
One is to escape.
The other is to kill.
Feng Jianghai didn't want to choose to kill, and he didn't dare to.
If he didn't know the origin of the Blood Demon Patriarch, he might choose to kill, but he knew.
So, he wanted to choose to escape!
Once the Spirit Entering Pill is refined, the chance of him surviving the Heavenly Tribulation and ascending to the Immortal Realm will increase by at least 70%!
Together with his original foundation, it could almost be said to be more than 100% sure. It's almost foolproof!
By then, as long as he succeeds in ascending to the Immortal Realm, he can completely cut ties with this incident. Even if the Blood Demon Sect is irritated and wishes to make trouble for the Lingyue Sect, they would have to consider whether the cost is worth it.
Lingyue Sect isn't weak, after all.
No matter how powerful your Blood Demon Sect is, you can't stop people from ascending to the Immortal Realm, right? When the realm is reached, suppressions cannot be held. It's not that I do nothing.
Feng Jianghai's plan was just this, and with Liu Tianfeng—the fourth ancestor of the Blood Demon Sect—urging him once again today, the situation had become even more urgent. If he couldn't make up his mind, once the Blood Demon Patriarch took action himself, he might not have any chance at all.
So, Feng Jianghai finally made up his mind. He wanted to ascend first.
