Chapter 291: Another Heart Devil Oath
Ning Yan was startled by the two people's quick movements. She looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she climbed over the wall and sneaked into the courtyard.
At this time in the main hall of the Cheng family, a middle-aged woman in the foundation-building stage was holding Cheng Tianfeng's ear and giving him repeated instructions.
"Don't let your plan slip. If your father gets to know about this, he will beat you to pieces!"
Bai Lan raised his eyebrows. Cheng Tianfeng actually only told his mother about this matter and did not tell the head of the Cheng family.
The young master of the Cheng family, who was so arrogant three days ago, now had a bloody mess on his back.
Bai Lan's gaze shifted to the middle-aged woman who was holding Cheng Tianfeng's ear. She was holding a bloody whip in her hand. It seemed that the masterpiece on Cheng Tianfeng's body was the work of her mother.
It's so tragic.
"Mom, you've beaten me so hard that my skin is torn and flesh is exposed!" Cheng Tianfeng said in a trembling voice.
"How dare you talk back!" The woman looked annoyed.
Cheng Tianfeng shut up instantly.
"Tomorrow, I will go out with the other two guest elders in the mansion. When you meet that person, you don't need to say much. Give her the jade slip first to release your inner demon oath, and leave the rest to me." The woman said in a deep voice.
Cheng Tianfeng nodded repeatedly, and couldn't help but hold the woman's hand: "Mom, with my cultivation level, I can't detect that person's cultivation level at all. She must be a foundation-building cultivator of Qingxia Sect. Can you be sure? If you can't kill her, won't my Cheng family's ancestral skills be..."
The woman was silent for a moment, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She whipped Cheng Tianfeng on the back again and said, "Nonsense! How can I predict the outcome of a fight between cultivators? If you hadn't made a foolish oath, there wouldn't be this trouble today!"
Cheng Tianfeng could only lower his head and smile awkwardly.
Bai Lan laughed: "Haha, what you said is very true. When cultivators fight, the outcome is unpredictable. I am not a belligerent person, and I am even less willing to engage in battle with you."
The sudden voice startled the woman, and she swung the whip in her hand: "Who is it!?"
"Mom, I remember this person's voice! This is the big liar who tricked me into making a vow!" Cheng Tianfeng recognized Bai Lan's voice and his tone instantly became excited.
The woman's expression turned cold: "How dare you sneak into my Cheng Mansion quietly."
"This is how we always do things in Tianji Pavilion. If not, how could I know that you two were plotting to kill me?"
After Bai Lan finished speaking, he slowly appeared. At the moment when the woman was about to raise the whip to attack, he smiled and raised the talisman in his hand.
After the female cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage sensed the power contained in the talisman, her expression froze and she was forced to retract the whip in her hand, her hands trembling slightly.
"...The aura of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. Who are you to the Tianji Pavilion? How come you have this kind of talisman in your hand?" The woman exclaimed in surprise.
A talisman containing the aura of a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, the identity of the woman in front of him was already clear.
The other party must be the direct disciple of some Nascent Soul master, or a junior in the family, someone the Cheng family cannot afford to offend.
The black-robed woman in front of her was only at the initial stage of foundation building, but the cultivation level of the other person standing next to her was unfathomable, even she could not detect it, so his cultivation level must be above the Jindan stage.
The status was instantly reversed, the woman no longer spoke in a superior tone, her entire body tensed up.
"I heard that the Cheng family has two Jindan-stage cultivators. I am here not only to ask for the Cheng family's skills, but also to discuss some future cooperation with the two Jindan-stage seniors."
Cooperation? What kind of cooperation could there be with Tianji Pavilion? Wouldn't it be a matter of life and death? The woman's heart tightened slightly, knowing that this matter could no longer be concealed, and it was not something she could solve alone.
"Please follow me to the front hall and wait for a moment. The head of the family and the chief elder will be here soon." The woman was silent for a long while, and finally spoke in a deep voice and bowed again.
"Excuse me." Bai Lan nodded: "I suggest you don't do anything tricky. This talisman is an offensive talisman that can be detonated in an instant. I have a way to get out of it safely, but you guys, haha."
Bai Lan spoke lightly, playing with the talisman that contained the full-strength attack of a Nascent Soul cultivator in his hand, his tone dim.
It was a talisman that was powerful enough to flatten the Cheng family, and now it was in Bai Lan's hand, causing Cheng Tianfeng and the woman's hearts to fluctuate with Bai Lan's movements, unable to find peace.
They were safely brought to the front hall. During the journey, the woman had thought about trying to sneak attack Bai Lan, or lure her into a trap and take away the talisman in her hand.
But they all failed. The other party predicted all her actions and would always be one step ahead of her and slowly remind her.
He is only at the second level of the foundation building stage, but he has a spiritual awareness comparable to that of a late foundation building stage cultivator. Is this a disciple of a master?
"Oh, by the way, Master Cheng, your mother is going to invite someone, so you don't have to follow her closely, why don't you stay and have a cup of tea with me?" Bai Lan said lightly, turning his gaze to Cheng Tianfeng who was planning to sneak away with the woman.
During the negotiation, the hostages must not leave.
The woman frowned, obviously unwilling to leave her son alone in such a dangerous place as the front hall. But the next second, Bai Lan's expression turned cold and he raised the talisman in his hand again.
"Feng'er, please stay and have a cup of tea with this fellow Taoist in front of you." The woman said through gritting her teeth.
Before his life was in danger, all of Bai Lan's requests were met.
Cheng Tianfeng's lips trembled, and he held onto a chair and sat down opposite Bai Lan.
"Why are you panicking? You have the guts to swear a vow, but now you want to go back on your word and get rid of me the moment I got the technique. Since you can think of such a trick, you should have expected what will happen today."
Cheng Tianfeng gritted his teeth and said, "It's obvious that you lied to me. You should have sworn."
"Is this the point? You can't kill Long Aotian at all. It doesn't seem to make any difference whether I swear or not."
"I underestimated my enemy before. If you give me three more days, I will definitely be able to get rid of Long Aotian!" Cheng Tianfeng slammed the table frantically.
"Then you make a vow to your inner demon that if you can get rid of Long Aotian within three days, you will transfer all the assets of the Cheng family to me." Bai Lan said lightly.
Cheng Tianfeng remained silent.
