Chapter 258: Task Allocation

Feng Baozhao’s brow furrowed sharply upon hearing this.He knew his son too well.

He was a bit cunning, crazy, and ruthless, but lacked decisiveness in major matters.

Under normal circumstances, he should have arrived here long ago for such a significant event.

However, he didn’t dwell on it for long.

After about an incense stick’s time, another figure appeared in the secret chamber.

He was also a high-ranking member of the Feng family, ranked as the ninth elder of the Feng family.

He looked grave and reported, “Reporting to the Patriarch, I just came back from Mingyan Mansion. Young Master Mingyan and Elder Wang are both absent.

I inquired with the servants, but no one knows their whereabouts.”

The secret chamber fell into a sudden silence.

Then, everyone chuckled, “Young Master Mingyan is quite alert this time.

He actually left first.

In that case, perhaps we should also hide for a while.”

Feng Baozhao felt a twinge of unease in his heart.

But he didn’t say much, after all, in their view, this operation shouldn’t have any loopholes.

And at this moment, everyone present believed they understood Su Jingzhen and his group well.

They couldn’t fathom how four Foundation Establishment cultivators, who were always immersed in alchemy, could possibly defeat ten experienced assassins.

“Alright, since he’s hiding, let’s not bother him.

With Elder Wang’s protection, he shouldn’t be in any danger.

Let’s follow the original plan and remain hidden for a while.

When everything calms down, we’ll return.

By then, the Feng family will be ours.”

As he spoke, Feng Baozhao’s eyes glistened with boundless ambition.

He was tired of being the acting Patriarch.

Since the Great Elder was reluctant to convene all the direct descendants of the Feng family and officially establish him as the true Patriarch, he would take matters into his own hands.

With that, the dozen or so people in the secret chamber quietly left, never returning to the Treasure Pavilion.

Their departure went unnoticed.

…

Outside the Treasure Pavilion.

At a location quite distant from the Treasure Pavilion, Bai Susu and an old man stood on a large rock.

They watched Tuoba Junlin and his protector, who were still hovering in mid-air.

Bai Susu’s brow furrowed.

“What is this guy trying to do?

Is he really going to interfere in the Feng family’s affairs in Yunmeng City? Is this his own decision, or a decision made by the Tuoba family?

Is it really just because of Qingya? That’s not likely, is it?”

Bai Susu’s icy face was filled with confusion.

She felt that Tuoba Junlin’s actions at this moment were somewhat out of character.

The old man beside her also spoke, “Regardless of what the Tuoba family decides, this is an internal matter of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

Miss, as the Patriarch instructed us, we should stay out of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s affairs.”

Bai Susu nodded. “The Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s affairs are none of our concern, I was just a little curious.

But this time, our Bai family also has a chance to bring those two alchemists into the family.

After all, my relationship with Qingya is quite friendly.”

The old man didn’t say anything more about Bai Susu’s words.

…

Outside the treasure pavilion, the situation was already turbulent and tense.

However, Grand Elder Feng Lie remained seated, cross-legged, at the entrance of the black passage on the first floor of the Treasure Pavilion.

“Grand Elder, it seems things outside are about to get out of control.

With the Tuoba family involved, the time has been pushed to dawn. Should we go out and take a look?”

The people inside the Treasure Pavilion were naturally aware of what was happening outside.

However, there weren’t many left here.

Hearing this, the Grand Elder coldly said, “If Feng Baozhao can’t even handle this, then he doesn’t deserve to be the acting Patriarch.

The matter of our Ancestor is of utmost importance, I won’t allow any mistakes.”

The Grand Elder’s voice was incredibly authoritative when he spoke.

Hearing his words, the others dared not say anything more.

Feng Qingya was also present. Seeing the Elder’s attitude, her heart was filled with a surge of excitement.

Her eyes sparkled with boundless anticipation.

As long as Su Jingzhen and the others could successfully awaken their Ancestor this time, Feng Qingya would completely turn the tables.

This was the most important moment in her life, she had to stay here and watch over it, regardless of the chaos outside.

…

Meanwhile, in the place where the Feng family ancestor was in seclusion.

With Xuening’s assistance, Ye Zhiqiu had already begun to refine the Blood-Forming Pill.

And it was almost complete.

The two goddesses’ expressions were incredibly serious, identical medicinal herbs, under Ye Zhiqiu’s skillful manipulation, merged into the pill.

A burst of life-giving fragrance filled the air.

In the next instant, Ye Zhiqiu slammed her palm on the pill furnace.

The crimson Blood-Forming Pill flew out.

“Fortunately, it’s of top-grade quality! It should be enough.”

Ye Zhiqiu looked at the crimson pill in her hand and a smile crept onto her lips.

Su Jingzhen and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the Blood-Forming Pill’s medicinal ingredients had only been gathered once.

If it had failed, they would have had to run back to get more from the Feng family.

Besides, the four of them really didn’t want to go out at this time.

After all, the other party dared to send people to assassinate them directly. They didn’t know what the situation outside was like.

But they were all very clear that the best choice at this time was to do their utmost to awaken the Feng family ancestor.

The Feng family ancestor’s cultivation level was definitely beyond the Nascent Soul stage.

Whether it was Transcendence or Divine Intent, they weren’t sure.

But even if it was just a Soul Formation stage, it would be enough to control everything.

Although the four of them didn’t say it out loud, they all had the same thought in mind.

Let the outside world be as chaotic as it wanted, as long as the ancestor was awakened, they would be safe within the confines of the formation.

At this time, Ye Zhiqiu put the Blood-Forming Pill into a jade bottle and looked at Su Jingzhen and the others.

“As we discussed before, when refining the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill, the Breaking Through Adversity Pill will be entrusted to Friend Su.

While refining the Blood-Forming Pill, Miss Xuening and I have already developed some understanding.

Therefore, the final fusion of the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill will be left to the two of us.

If nothing unexpected happens, there is a high probability of success.”

As she spoke, Ye Zhiqiu was no longer as solemn as before.

“Senior Sister Ye, then… what should I do?”

After Ye Zhiqiu made the arrangements, Bai Xiu next to her asked in confusion.

Hearing this, Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, “You should learn from the experience this time.

By the way, you can also go to the corridor and keep an eye on the situation.

If anyone comes down, you and Friend Su will ensure the safety of us two weak women, is that okay?”
