Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 1523: Chapter 583: The Whereabouts of the New Cauldron Piece

A single question is worth four to five thousand merit points?

What’s happened to Sister? This isn’t like her usual shrewd style.

Guangzi glanced at Ye Lingyue now and then, but since Ye Lingyue didn’t let him speak, he couldn’t ask more questions.

”Oh? Is there something Captain Ye doesn’t understand? Feel free to ask.”

The negotiation with Ye Lingyue resolved the two biggest problems Tang Tiansong was facing, so he was truly victorious, and in a good mood.

Moreover, Ye Lingyue mentioned it was a question that could be answered, and she wouldn’t renege, so Tang Tiansong simply agreed.

”I want to know, who exactly provided Zhuxin Grass to Liu Guang Pavilion?”

Ye Lingyue blurted out.

The biggest problem for Liu Guang Pavilion is the Soul-breaking Elixir, and without Zhuxin Grass, it can’t be refined.

In the end, the one providing Zhuxin Grass for over ten years to Liu Guang Pavilion is the true mastermind.

Ye Lingyue also wanted to know how the other party cultivated Zhuxin Grass.

Since Tang Tiansong had placed people inside Liu Guang Pavilion, he must know something.

Upon hearing Zhuxin Grass, Tang Tiansong, who originally had a smile, paused slightly, his expression indicating he indeed knew about the source of Zhuxin Grass.

”Captain Ye, I’m sorry. I cannot answer that question.”

Unexpectedly, Tang Tiansong refused Ye Lingyue’s question.

Could it be that the person providing Zhuxin Grass is someone whom even Tang Tiansong, who seems fearless, considers?

”Hey, Tang, are you still a man? Ling Yue is so straightforward, but you are being all indecisive. Ling Yue, if he doesn’t speak, let’s not give the merit points. You say I killed the person, then I killed them, and at worst, I’ll go back home; let’s see how you can find me.”

Guangzi’s rascal side surfaced again.

In fact, he had left Futu Heaven for a while, afraid of being discovered, especially by his parents. If they found out he secretly came to find Sister, he’d definitely receive a scolding.

And might even be forced to marry, to find a woman to discipline him.

Thinking of this, Guangzi shivered.

He really wanted to tell Ling Yue not to talk too much with Tang, just knock him out with a stick, and then invade his dreams and search his brain, preferably making him a fool to see if he would tell then.

Seeing Tang Tiansong refusing to disclose, Ye Lingyue realized the matter of Zhuxin Grass was likely a significant one.

”Captain Tang, since you have your reasons for not speaking, I won’t ask more. Then let me ask another question, do you know whose token this is?”

Ye Lingyue took out a token, the one she found earlier by the river, the ”Golden Eagle” team token, and handed it to Tang Tiansong.

The latter looked for a few moments, showing a surprised expression.

”Isn’t this Chu Tiankuang’s team leader token? He’s the leader of a medium-sized team in Qiyu City, I heard he left the city recently and went missing afterward. The Golden Eagle team ended up leaderless and all the demon hunters gradually joined other teams. Captain Ye, where did you find this token?”

Tang Tiansong had stayed in Qiyu City for a while, interacting with several team leaders there.

Chu Tiankuang was a straightforward person; Tang Tiansong had shared drinks with him a few times and had a bit of friendship.

After Chu Tiankuang went missing, Tang Tiansong also searched without finding a clue, and later let it go after the Jiu Provinces Hunting began.

Ye Lingyue detailed the discovery of a body under a tree by the river, the characteristics and token also explained thoroughly.

Finishing this, Tang Tiansong’s expression changed.

He likely realized that Chu Tiankuang’s disappearance might not have ended well, but hadn’t considered he would be dead.

And not killed by demon beasts but...

”Damn! I should have known, it was definitely Dongfang Liuli, that devil woman, she definitely caused Tiankuang’s death. Chu Tiankuang was Dongfang Liuli’s admirer, pursuing her before he went missing.”

Tang Tiansong furiously slammed the table, which instantly turned to powder.

”Captain Tang, what makes you say that? Why do you conclude that the murderer of Chu Tiankuang is Dongfang Liuli?”

Ye Lingyue was shocked.

Confirming Chu Tiankuang’s identity was crucial for Ye Lingyue.

Indicators showed that Chu Tiankuang’s body contained traces of Cauldron Breath.

The person didn’t leave obvious marks on Chu Tiankuang but ground his organs to pieces.

If it truly was Dongfang Liuli, then this implies Dongfang Liuli holds Jiu Provinces Cauldron Fragments!

This information is worth far more than four to five thousand merit points, considering that as long as she’s in Qiyu City, Ye Lingyue can acquire a continuous supply of demon beast meat.

”It’s quite evident, Dongfang Liuli is very insidious. Earlier she had Tiankuang continually take the Soul-breaking Elixir. I warned him that there was something wrong with the Soul-breaking Elixir, but he was so infatuated with her that he wouldn’t listen. The Soul-breaking Elixir contains Zhuxin Grass, excessive consumption affects one’s Divine Sense, gradually altering one’s bones and organs — becoming a Half-beastman lightly and fatally causing the body to explode.”

Tang Tiansong appeared to recall a painful memory, eyes becoming red, fists tightly clenched, almost crushing them.

”Half-beastman?” Ye Lingyue’s mind sparkled, ”Wait, Captain Tang, the Half-beastmen you speak of, are they like those in Xuanwu City?”

It suddenly occurred to Ye Lingyue, that City Lord Ma commanded a small but powerful Half-beastman army.

Could they not be the legendary beings raised by City Lord Ma, but rather creations of both the Poxie Pill used by Dongfang Liuli and Ma City Lord conspiring together?

”Captain Ye truly has keenness in thinking. Without collusion with City Lord Ma or higher authorities, how could Dongfang Liuli, just a regular Fang Venerate, hold sway over Qiyu City?”

Tang Tiansong deeply inhaled, admitting he’d learned the secret not long ago.

He unknowingly discovered it during his registration for the Jiu Provinces Hunting in Xuanwu City.

Dongfang Liuli, based in Qiyu City, used the Soul-breaking Elixir to create Half-beast armies, selling them at high prices to City Lord Ma and larger cities to bolster their combat power.

But considering the affair involving city lords from the Jiu Provinces Alliance, knowing the truth left him unable to reveal it.

If not for Ye Lingyue uncovering Chu Tiankuang’s corpse, perhaps he would have kept this secret.

It appears the Jiu Provinces Cauldron fragments are indeed held by Dongfang Liuli, but which fragments and whether they also contain Cauldron Breath remains unknown.

Ye Lingyue unconsciously clenched her right hand, the Qian Cauldron piece shivered, seemingly excited by the appearance of new Jiu Provinces Cauldron Fragments.
