Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 1186: A Big Chess Game

Chapter 1186: Chapter 1186: A Big Chess Ga

In the end, fewer than ten people managed to escape the encirclent of the Panhu family and Ye You, including Tian Xiaozi and two Earth Demons, as well as a few high-ranking leaders with strong magic power.

The remaining were mostly executed, with about a thousand people captured.

Deciding what to do with these prisoners gave Pu Chen a headache.

Killing them all seed too cruel, damaging Ye You’s reputation and unfavorable for future battles; releasing them, if they continued to be loyal to Tian Xiaozi, would let the tiger return to the mountain; keeping them detained here would be a huge drain on the Taiyi Mountain Base, as it required providing food, lodging, and dispatching heavy troops for guarding.

Ye You seed unconcerned, instructing Pu Chen to detain them for a few days, promising he’d have a solution in ti.

Though skeptical, Pu Chen couldn’t fathom what thod Ye You would use but still cautiously detained the thousand prisoners, assigning guards of comparable numbers to oversee them.

A few days later, Ye You lived up to expectations and arrived at the detention location to produce the just-refined Blood Lotus Heart-piercing Pill.

The Spirit Grass of this world is not always beneficial. The world is vast and full of wonders, also containing harmful ones, so both beneficial and harmful.

Blood Lotus is a rare Spirit Grass, but upon establishing the Taiyi Mountain Base, Ye You stumbled upon a secret valley on Taiyi Mountain hosting a multitude of Blood Lotus.

The effect of Blood Lotus is unique, essentially a toxic substance, yet it enhances magic power.

At the ti, Ye You found its efficacy peculiar, perhaps useful later, thus he harvested plenty and stored them in his Portable Space.

Back then, his alchemist level wasn’t high enough to comprehend what pill could be crafted with Blood Lotus. Now a Sixth-level Alchemist, when Pu Chen asked how to deal with the thousand-plus prisoners, Ye You suddenly thought of the Blood Lotus in his Portable Space.

Thus, he worked tirelessly for days, refining over a thousand Blood Lotus Heart-piercing Pills.

Ye You ordered the Blood Lotus Heart-piercing Pills be distributed to Tian Xiaozi’s n among the prisoners, instructing them to ingest them, bluntly informing them the pill was poisonous, but loyalty not only assured safety but also enhanced magic power.

So bit down and swallowed it; so, hoping for luck, secretly hid the Blood Lotus Heart-piercing Pill distributed to them. But how could these little maneuvers escape Ye You’s eyes?

Ye You sneered coldly, flicked his fingers, releasing a swift fla that eerily struck the foreheads of those harboring fantasies.

Before they could react, a "woosh" sound was heard, their heads instantly combusted into nothing, leaving only headless bodies standing rigidly, shocking those around into horrified retreat.

Led by these grueso precedents, none dared entertain such luck, all warily ingesting the Blood Lotus Heart-piercing Pill.

However, rather than the imagined piercing, gut-corrosive agony, they were t with a slightly spicy heat, comfortably warming the area of the Magic Source.

Soon they realized their magic power had increased sowhat.

These regular soldiers held very weak magic power and lacked talent, making boosting magic power difficult. While the enhancent from the Blood Lotus Heart-piercing Pill wasn’t vast, it was akin to what took them a year or two to achieve through earnest practice.

The fear among these soldiers gradually dissipated a bit.

Seizing the opportunity, Ye You stated: "Blood Lotus Heart-piercing Pill is indeed poisonous, but also a Spirit Pill boosting magic power. Toxicity manifests after one year, and its antidote is a second Blood Lotus Heart-piercing Pill. Loyal devotion will earn you that antidote a year from now."

These soldiers finally comprehended Ye You’s intent; one courageous asked: "Does this an we’re continually poisoned?"

Ye You smiled subtly, replying: "The day Tian Xiaozi perishes, you’ll receive the real antidote."

With that said, Ye You ignored them, turned to form magic wings, and flew back to his dwelling in the cave.

Following Taiyi Mountain’s victorious defense, many, including Yun Cheng, advised Ye You to pursue the advantage and capture Tian Xiaozi completely, given his magic power exceeded Tian Xiaozi’s.

After deliberate consideration, Ye You ultimately disregarded their advice, letting Tian Xiaozi escape while he unhurriedly aided Pu Chen in restoring the Protective Array at Taiyi Mountain Base.

Yun Cheng and Xiao ng were perplexed, secretly asking Pu Chen.

Pu Chen chuckled lightly, responding profoundly: "His Highness made a strategic move."

Yun Cheng and Xiao ng still couldn’t understand it, and chose not to burden their minds any longer.

The day before, Xiao ng joyfully conversed with Yun Cheng, but the next day Yun Wang returned, bringing news of Jing Jing’s passing.

Having only recently parted with her sister, how could she suddenly be gone? Xiao ng refused to believe it, reprimanding Yun Wang for joking about life and death.

Helpless, Yun Wang recounted in full the event where Qing Pu self-exploded, killing Qing Xun and Jing Jing, exchanging life for life, ultimately transforming into a Mimosa.

Though tears already flowed, Xiao ng still refused to believe.

Ye You knew this matter was grave yet couldn’t leave, thus sent Yun Cheng along with several highly powerful guards to accompany Xiao ng to Seven Pearl City.

On the journey, Xiao ng remained lancholy and silent, softening Yun Cheng’s heart, making him more tenderly attentive.

Upon reaching Seven Pearl City, they arrived amid the Zhulu family’s intense purification campaign. Qin Sisi, aware of their purpose, approached Xiao ng, softly consoling: "Xiao ng, regardless of what happens, remain strong, okay?"

Upon hearing Qin Sisi’s words, Xiao ng realized Jing Jing might truly be in dire straits but still clung to Qin Sisi’s hand, tearfully asking: "Sister Sisi, is Yun Wang’s brother’s story true?"

Feeling a bitter sting, Qin Sisi didn’t know how to respond, sighing as she turned to Qing Xun.

Qing Xun paused briefly before retrieving the Mimosa from the storage ring, digging it out of the soil, finding a polished flower pot to replant it, keeping it constantly in the storage ring, as if Jing Jing were still by his side.

Xiao ng’s tears flooded forth, holding the Mimosa as her cries poured.

Jing Jing departed her hotown for the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle at age nine, sharing little ti with her sister, always believing they’d have years ahead, unknowingly at one careless mont, the path beca remote, severed by life and death.
