Eat Little Almonds
Chapter 684 Yellow Springs
And for the next while, that little fatty kept feeding him that Nine Turns Intestine.
He even thoughtfully stuffed it down Lü Xiutong's throat.
Lü Xiutong ate for three days and three nights straight, until his tongue was completely numb.
The illusion finally shattered, but in the real world, only a few seconds had passed.
After escaping the illusion, Lü Xiutong fell to the ground in a wretched heap.
He looked at Qiao Yu with eyes full of terror.
"Sorcery! This is sorcery!"
Lü Xiutong was so frightened that he stumbled backward. The wonderful flavor of the Nine Turns Intestine had left him with a deep psychological scar.
He didn't know why, but the large intestine not only had filling in the middle, but even the skin had a strong taste.
Lü Xiutong even suspected that the little fatty had reduced the water used to wash the large intestine over high heat and poured it over the large intestine.
He swore that he never wanted to touch large intestine again in his life. Now, even hearing the words "large intestine" made him feel nauseous.
The surrounding people looked on with confusion and surprise. They had never seen Lü Xiutong in such a sorry state.
What exactly had happened to this Young Master Lü in just a dozen seconds? Everyone's hearts were itching with curiosity.
"Sorcery!"
Lü Xiutong was scared out of his wits, crawling in the opposite direction from Qiao Yu, his face as white as a sheet.
"Pick up the token! Pick up the token!"
Qiao Yu roared, calling back the lost pieces of Lü Xiutong's soul.
Lü Xiutong scrambled back in a panic, picked up the Underworld Token, blew on it a few times, and then carefully wiped it clean with his sleeve, before tremblingly holding it up to Qiao Yu.
He was truly afraid!
"Mm, not bad! What a good boy, to err is human, to forgive divine!"
Qiao Yu nodded with satisfaction and patted Lü Xiutong on the shoulder, revealing a benevolent smile.
The scene was as heartwarming as an elder encouraging a young person.
Lü Xiutong trembled like a leaf, but fortunately, after Qiao Yu patted him, it seemed that he didn't intend to hold it against him.
The two guards were also extremely observant. Seeing the change in Lü Xiutong, even an idiot would know that this old man was no ordinary person!
"Senior! The location of Holy Son Jia Nian is this way. I'll lead the way for you!"
Watching Qiao Yu's hunched back as he was surrounded by the two guards, a glint of malice flashed in Lü Xiutong's eyes on the ground.
"What are you looking at? Do you want to die? Get lost!"
Lü Xiutong roared at the onlookers, scattering them like frightened birds.
No one dared to offend the grandson of the Huangquan Hirazaka elder.
After scaring everyone away, the resentment in Lü Xiutong's eyes deepened.
He had never suffered such humiliation in his life. No matter who that old man was, he would make him pay a bloody price!
Lü Xiutong rose to his feet and soared into the sky, flying towards the depths of Huangquan Hirazaka.
He would definitely have his grandfather avenge him!
The far north of Huangquan Star.
This was the core of Huangquan Hirazaka.
The cold Underworld River stretched out endlessly. Rather than a river, it was more like a sea.
The icy wind howled across the surface of the Underworld River, so cold that it could freeze a person's bones.
Yet, despite the howling wind, the surface of the Underworld River appeared as smooth as a mirror, without the slightest ripple.
However, the occasional shadows flashing beneath the surface of the Underworld River made people's scalps tingle.
Everyone knew that falling into this Underworld River would definitely not be a good thing.
Lü Xiutong shuddered when he reached the edge of the Underworld River and dared not fly any further.
With his strength, he didn't dare to fly over the Underworld River, because if he fell in, he would surely be reduced to ashes.
Since Huangquan Hirazaka discovered this Underworld River, no one who had entered it had ever been able to come out alive.
Once, a master of Huangquan Hirazaka possessed strength that shook the heavens and earth, reaching the terrifying realm of the Pseudo-God Peak.
However, he was not satisfied, he wanted to become a god.
Unfortunately, he searched the entire Ninth Universe but could not find a way to become a god. In the end, he set his sights on the Underworld River beneath his feet.
That Pseudo-God Peak master made thorough preparations, practically fully armed.
In the expectant gazes of all the disciples of Huangquan Hirazaka, the master resolutely stepped into the Underworld River.
But then, a scene that made the hair stand on end for all the disciples and elders of Huangquan Hirazaka occurred!
After stepping into the Underworld River, the master didn't even cause a ripple, and simply disappeared!
There was no fierce fighting; no shrill screams; no terrifying attacks.
The Pseudo-God Peak master disappeared strangely beneath the Underworld River as if he had never existed in this world.
Since then, that master had never appeared again, and Huangquan Hirazaka had completely designated this Underworld River as a forbidden area.
Avoiding the Underworld River, Lü Xiutong walked along its edge. The occasional shadows flashing in the cold Underworld River made Lü Xiutong's heart tremble.
If his hatred for Qiao Yu hadn't penetrated deep into his bones, he would never have come to this place.
Finally, Lü Xiutong arrived at a mountain peak on the edge of the Underworld River. He went all the way up the mountain, and finally saw an old man in a gray robe sitting cross-legged on a mountaintop, tinkering with an alchemy furnace.
From time to time, there were shrill cries of children coming from the alchemy furnace, making people shudder.
The moment he saw this old man, Lü Xiutong rushed over, tears streaming down his face, as if he had seen his own father.
"Grandfather! Grandfather, you must avenge your grandson!"
Lü Xiutong knelt down in front of the old man in the gray robe with a plop.
"What's wrong, Tong'er?"
The old man in the gray robe slowly turned around, his sharp, hooked nose beneath a pair of gloomy eyes.
Coupled with his thin lips, it was clear at a glance that this old man was extremely difficult to get along with, but his tone towards Lü Xiutong was very gentle.
Lü Xiutong was about to speak out about Qiao Yu's evil deeds, but the next moment, the shoulder that had just been patted by Qiao Yu felt a sharp pain!
Lü Xiutong turned his head and saw that a ghostly black flame had ignited on his shoulder at some point!
The flame was extremely strange and highly adhesive, and could not be extinguished at all.
"What's going on?" Lü Xiutong's face turned pale with fright. "Grandfather, save me... save..."
Lü Xiutong couldn't speak anymore, because a ghostly black flame was also emerging from his throat!
"Tong'er!"
The gray-robed old man with the gloomy eyes widened his eyes, but even with his methods, he couldn't extinguish this strange flame!
"Netherworld Fire! Tong'er, who did this? Tell Grandfather quickly!"
The gray-robed old man asked anxiously, but did not take action to save him.
He knew the Netherworld Fire very well. Lü Xiutong was already beyond saving. Even if he took action himself, he would only be burned himself.
Lü Xiutong wanted to speak, but his throat and vocal cords had already been scorched by the flames.
The next moment, ghostly black flames emerged from his eye sockets, and Lü Xiutong turned into a ghostly black torch.
Before long, Lü Xiutong was burned into a pile of ashes in front of his proud grandfather!
The gray-robed old man's expression was so gloomy that water could drip from it.
He knew very well that the other party had deliberately allowed Lü Xiutong to reach him before igniting the Netherworld Fire, in order to take him down as well.
If he didn't understand the Netherworld Fire and foolishly rushed up to help Lü Xiutong put out the fire, he would either die or be seriously injured.
What had his grandson done outside? How could he offend such an insidious person?
