Ye Kunlun looked at Zhou Cen, who was gazing at him. A golden light flashed in his hand, and a golden needle appeared.
The next second, before Zhou Cen could react, the golden needle in Ye Kunlun's hand plunged into his body!
Zhou Cen's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "What did you do to me?"
At the same time, that terrifying aura reappeared. An old man in coarse linen with white hair appeared in the room and lunged at Ye Kunlun!
Ye Kunlun ignored him and said calmly to Zhou Cen, "The Heart Burning poison has no cure, so to detoxify it, one naturally has to rely on other methods!"
As soon as Ye Kunlun finished speaking, a strange red flush appeared on Zhou Cen's face!
Concurrently, the old man in coarse linen arrived before Ye Kunlun.
"Retire!"
Ye Kunlun let out a soft sound. The sonic wave, carrying terrifying power, repelled the old man in coarse linen who had closed in.
The Heart Burning poison that Zhou Cen had suppressed with medicine was activated by Ye Kunlun!
However, it did not cause the previous agony of burning.
A hint of joy appeared in Zhou Cen's eyes. Looking at the old man in coarse linen who was approaching again, he shouted, "Retire!"
Without hesitation, the old man in coarse linen disappeared from the room.
Zhou Cen felt the surging Heart Burning poison within his body but experienced no pain, unable to hide the joy in his eyes.
Ye Kunlun indeed had a way to suppress the Heart Burning poison in his body!
He was already a man destined to die, trading his life for ten years of longevity with the Heart Burning poison.
However, he had to endure the torment of his heart burning like fire daily, a sensation unbearable for ordinary people.
As time passed, the Heart Burning poison erupted more frequently each day!
Originally, he only needed to take one pill a day, but now he required two.
Yet, the agony of his heart burning was excruciatingly painful every time.
Now, Ye Kunlun claimed he could resolve his Heart Burning poison, so how could he not be tempted?
Zhou Cen concealed the joy in his eyes, sat upright on the chair, and gazed calmly at Ye Kunlun, "Why do you want to see Zhou Lie?"
"You don't need to ask about this!"
Ye Kunlun replied indifferently.
From the intelligence obtained from the Blood Shadow Tower, Zhou Cen and Zhou Lie had not been in contact for many years, and their relationship was not harmonious.
But this did not mean they had no dealings.
Perhaps there were clues that the Blood Shadow Tower had not discovered.
Zhou Cen appeared lost in thought, "I haven't contacted Zhou Lie for many years. However, the younger generation of the family has gone to the capital to visit him."
"Zhou Lie hasn't returned to the Zhou family for who knows how many years. If you want him to come back..."
Zhou Cen chuckled as he said this, "You must have a reason he cannot refuse, and coincidentally, there is one."
Ye Kunlun smiled, "So, my luck is good."
"In nine days, it will be our Zhou family's ancestral worship ceremony, held once every ten years. Zhou Lie will definitely return."
Zhou Cen told Ye Kunlun.
Ye Kunlun clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Then I will wait in Jicheng for nine days."
As he spoke, the golden needle that had entered Zhou Cen's body returned to his hand.
Seeing this, Zhou Cen looked as if he had something to say but hesitated.
"Don't worry, after I meet Zhou Lie, I will help you completely resolve the Heart Burning poison, and the efficacy of the Heart Burning Powder will remain."
Ye Kunlun saw through Zhou Cen's thoughts.
Saying this, Ye Kunlun narrowed his eyes, his gaze turning colder, "Heart Burning Powder is a highly yang substance. To suppress its toxicity, you have set up a Yin Gathering Array outside, haven't you?"
Zhou Cen was surprised that Ye Kunlun had even seen through the Yin Gathering Array and chuckled sheepishly.
"There's no other way. I'm old and afraid of death."
Zhou Cen did not conceal it, "But don't worry, the immensely yin object beneath this Yin Gathering Array is an antique. I wouldn't do such wicked things."
"Although the Yin Gathering Array can suppress the Heart Burning poison in your body, it also has side effects. Staying in here for too long can make one neither human nor ghost!"
With that, Ye Kunlun left the room with a smile.
Seeing Ye Kunlun emerge, Zhou Lingyang hurried to meet him.
"Little second brother, see our young friend out for me."
Zhou Lingyang glanced at his grandfather, and Zhou Cen directly instructed him.
More than ten minutes later, Ye Kunlun and Xiao Yu left the Zhou family.
Zhou Lingyang looked at the Blood Shadow Orb he was tightly clutching and bowed deeply towards Ye Kunlun, who was getting into the car.
——
After getting into the car, Ye Kunlun took out the incomplete map.
"Do you recognize the script on this?"
Ye Kunlun pointed to several symbols on the fragmented map, which he temporarily called script.
Xiao Yu nodded.
Ye Kunlun was taken aback. He hadn't expected Xiao Yu to actually recognize the script on it.
After all, he couldn't understand a single word of Xiao Yu's language.
Since she recognized the script on the fragmented map, it indicated the map's value.
"Fen Jie."
Xiao Yu pointed to two symbols on the fragmented map and said to Ye Kunlun.
"Fen Jie? Mountain?"
The fragmented map depicted mountain ranges, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't recall any mountain in China called 'Fen Jie Mountain'.
"Mm," Xiao Yu replied.
Then she pointed to two other characters and said, "Wu Xing."
"Wu Xing Mountain?" Hearing these two words, Ye Kunlun laughed, "Is it the Wu Xing Mountain that pressed down Sun Wukong?"
Xiao Yu looked at Ye Kunlun with confusion, seemingly not understanding what Sun Wukong meant.
"Kakuxi," Xiao Yu said something Ye Kunlun didn't understand.
Then she translated for Ye Kunlun, "Ancient Divine Mountain."
"If this is an Ancient Divine Mountain, its name should be different from now. We'll check later to see if the mountain ranges depicted here resemble any current mountain ranges."
Ye Kunlun stared at the fragmented map for a long time but found nothing else.
After putting away the map, a car just happened to pass by his.
But Ye Kunlun still keenly saw the person in the car, who was Zhou Lingkun.
Zhou Lingkun also seemed to have sensed something.
Their eyes met, then flickered away.
"Ye Kunlun."
Inside the car, Zhou Lingkun's expression changed repeatedly. None of the people he had sent back.
He knew that those people would never return.
He hadn't expected Ye Kunlun to come to Jicheng. Looking in this direction, he seemed to have just left the Zhou family.
Thinking of this, Zhou Lingkun's face completely darkened.
Inside the car, Ye Kunlun's lips curled into a sinister smile.
The next second, Zhou Lingkun's car's tire exploded with a bang!
Fortunately, the speed was not high, and Zhou Lingkun was at the peak of the Heaven grade, just one step away from entering the Innate Grandmaster.
Therefore, it did not cause him any injury.
A moment later, at the Zhou family.
After hearing the terrifying report, Zhou Lingkun's face was extremely grim, "Third brother was actually crippled by Ye Kunlun, and even Daoist Shangyan was defeated by him!"
"What is Ye Kunlun's cultivation? How could he be stronger than Daoist Shangyan?!"
Zhou Lingkun's breathing became a little rapid. Ye Kunlun was much stronger than he had imagined.
"Where is Grandpa? Didn't the people around him make a move?"
Zhou Lingkun asked the servant beside him.
"The Patriarch has seen him."
"I'm going to see Grandpa!"
Saying this, Zhou Lingkun quickly walked towards Zhou Cen's small courtyard.
