Chapter 375 An Unreliable Third Party
I thought the Taoist priest Yue Cheng had invited was a big shot in the industry. Not to mention that setting up a single formation would cost hundreds of millions of star coins, just getting someone to come out of seclusion would require layers of connections.
Judging from Song Jinchao's current situation, one thing is certain: Song Jinchao has been tricked.
It's a complete scam.
Not only were they unaware of the situation, but they were also extremely short of money.
Finding a Taoist priest led to a third party, which explains Yue Cheng's carelessness. Xingji is similar to the place Jiang He used to be in; it's a social phenomenon, with many third parties and outsourcing companies involved.
However, this was the first time Jiang He had ever seen such a ruthless exploiter. From hundreds of millions to thousands, he was truly profiting off the suffering of others.
Jiang He thought of countless ways to deal with Song Jinzhao.
When she threw 100 million star coins in front of Song Jinchao, he immediately gave in.
There was no excuse or conspiracy; Song Jinchao was genuinely short of money.
When Jiang He threw a wad of banknotes at Song Jinzhao, he immediately made up his mind.
From this day forward, Song Jinzhao is determined to live for Jiang He! To live for Jiang He! To bang his head against the wall for Jiang He!
Song Jinzhao completely forgot about the knife at his neck. How much did that cost? Enough to buy him a lot of talismans.
Jiang He has no habit of cheating people:
"This is the deposit. You can ask Yao Xi for the rest of the money after you break the magic array."
"Yao Xi? Wasn't she already dead?" Song Jinzhao asked in shock.
Li Ling hadn't expected the Taoist priest to be so lacking in information, not even knowing who the person he had trapped in the formation was, yet he accepted the task assigned to him:
"The person trapped inside the Yue family ancestral home is Yao Xi. Don't worry, once you rescue Yao Xi, you'll be well paid. We're not like those unscrupulous intermediaries; at least we keep our word."
However, if you can't break this magic circle, death is acceptable.
Seeing that Song Jinzhao was naive, Li Ling had a thought and made a small threat to Song Jinzhao.
Once he had recovered his senses, Li Ling began to explain to Song Jinzhao the value of the magic array he had set up.
Poor Song Jinzhao listened, her mouth initially agape, but eventually she burst into tears.
"Damn! Old Tong is so ruthless. I trusted him so much, and he's treating me like a beast of burden."
After receiving the money, Song Jinzhao's mood quickly shifted. Recalling his experiences today, he finally felt a glimmer of hope. Although he was still being supported by Bai Zhizhou and Long Aotian, the sorrow on his face had noticeably lessened.
Jiang He understood this point well.
High-level business battles often employ the simplest methods.
Just like bribing the cleaning lady to unplug the internet cable, Jiang He planned to solve the problem at its source from the beginning.
The trouble should end it.
Finding Song Jinchao will make everything easier.
This is the second day since Jiang He arrived at Yinhe Star.
The formation set up by Song Jinchao was extremely complex, and it took a whole day and night just to set it up.
Unraveling the formation is equally complex. The formations and ornaments here employ techniques from other Taoist priests, and each ornament has its own intricacies. Forcibly moving them could very likely result in a backlash.
It took almost a whole day just to decipher these magic arrays and the yellow talismans pasted on the objects.
During this time, Song Jinchao transformed into Zhong Liyu's appearance, and the five of them pretended to fight with Yao Xi.
During the fight, Song Jinchao secretly broke the formation while waving his sword and doing some sneaky work. In order not to give himself away, Song Jinchao didn't even launch any attacks.
Only when Jiang He and the others were "physically and mentally exhausted" and tied Yao Xi up did they return to the Yue family.
Yue Cheng was drinking a can of spiritual plant nectar that cost tens of thousands of star coins. Before the liquid even reached his lips, he hurriedly put down the cup.
The bottom of the cup slammed onto the table. Yue Cheng listened to his subordinate's report, his eyes wide with shock:
"What!
You mean those students subdued Yao Xi?
"Yes, Patriarch, Fellow Daoist Jiang said he would like you to visit the ancestral home."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Those students are all at the Nascent Soul stage, how could they possibly subdue Yao Xi? Besides, it's only been a day."
Yue Cheng's face was full of disbelief.
“Patriarch, I remember that this Fellow Daoist Jiang is the MVP of this year’s Academy Competition. She and her teammates led Wan Jue Academy to first place, so their strength should be quite good.”
"She is Jiang He?"
"Yes."
Yue Cheng thought about what he had talked about with other families a few days ago about this year's academy competition. The Yin Yang family still had a great appreciation for the cultivators of this year's Wan Jue Academy.
Anyone capable of killing an S+ monster is certainly not a waste. Thinking of the Taoist priest and his apprentice whom he had previously sought out, Yue Cheng suddenly realized that this was indeed a possibility.
He has now reached the Nascent Soul stage thanks to resources, but he still can't even defeat an A-level monster. Yet Jiang He, a local, can fight against an S-level monster, so he must be quite skilled.
As Yue Cheng thought of this, his mood automatically brightened.
That bitch Yao Xi kept cursing him to die a horrible death and suffer great misfortune.
But now, after he took over the Yao family business, it has grown bigger and bigger, and he has become someone who takes on almost any business, no matter who he offends, as long as it can make money.
No, it's his Yue family now.
That year, Yue Cheng first found a Taoist priest who prevented Yao Xi from entering his dreams and continued to seal Yao Xi away; now he has unearthed a treasure.
Several Nascent Soul cultivators trapped Yao Xi.
Thinking back to how he had schemed and plotted against Yao Xi back then, he never expected that Yao Xi would become more and more like a madwoman.
Yue Cheng's doubts lessened considerably. After fast-forwarding through the surveillance footage of the ancestral home, he couldn't wait to follow Jiang He towards the ancestral home.
At this moment, Yue Cheng was still surrounded by many bodyguards at the Nascent Soul stage or above.
Jiang He and the other three, along with Song Jinzhao who had transformed into Zhong Liyu, did not get too close to Yue Cheng.
Inside the ancestral home, Yao Xi, bound to a wooden frame, screamed shrilly:
"Yue Cheng, you are vicious! Not only did you have an affair with your own sister, but you also left my son here to fend for himself!"
Yuecheng, you spineless man!
Yao Xi's voice grew more and more shrill, and when Li Ling heard this, he almost couldn't help but turn his head toward Yue Cheng.
Wow, so there are things she doesn't know.
Thirdly, are they related?
That's really exciting...
Li Ling and Jiang He exchanged a silent glance.
The last trace of doubt in Yue Cheng vanished, replaced by rage. Several days had passed, and everyone knew that there was a taboo in the Yue family.
At this moment, the fig leaf covering his face was torn away by Yao Xi, and he immediately stepped into the house, his mind filled with rage, wishing he could make Yao Xi disappear completely from this world.
Fortunately, Yao Xi is currently tied to a wooden frame and looks quite disheveled.
When Yue Cheng saw Yao Xishi, his anger turned into pleasure.
She thought he couldn't do anything to her now that she'd turned into a nibble, but he still caught her.
"Yao Xi, you haven't changed at all over the years. Why don't you just apologize to me sooner? Yue Shoucai is here too. I wonder if he will be sad if he sees you like this."
"You dare! If you harm even a hair on Shoucai's head, I'll send you to hell!"
"Tsk tsk, still being stubborn even when death is imminent, looks like you're tired of living."
Yue Cheng looked at Yao Xi, who was covered in wounds, and walked towards her with his sword raised.
The sword in his hand was obtained from the Taoist priest. As long as he captured Yao Xi, he could stab her in the heart and cause her soul to be scattered.
Yue Cheng was extremely anxious, and the Nascent Soul stage bodyguard beside him remained close to him.
The moment the sword touched Yao Xi, black energy emanated from her body. She suddenly grabbed forward, her fingers deftly reaching for Yue Cheng's throat.
