Nine Yang Sword Saint Chapter 79

The Millennium Owl was right below.

At this moment, Zhao Mu noticed something wrong with Ningning's pallor, and his expression changed slightly. A chilling feeling flashed past.

Yang Dingtian quickly said, “Hongmian, don't be so disrespectful. Quickly kneel down and pray.”

They must not arouse any Zhao Mu's suspicions. Otherwise, not only would they not be able to get the electric demon nucleus, but they would also even die here.

“Oh!” Ningning knelt down together with Yang Dingtian unwillingly and gave three kowtows.

“One!”

“Two!”

“Three!”

Then, the two of them stood up and prepared to leave. They were planning to sneak into the tower at night and enter the dungeon through the entrance they found to get the Millennium Owl.

However, the slate on the ground beneath their feet suddenly broke, revealing a hole underneath. Yang Dingtian and Ningning instantly fell through.

Then, incomparably boiling hot air rushed up towards them. While the two of them fell, the surroundings got hotter and hotter.

This was an incomparably huge cavern abyss with a diameter of several meters. The thick and solid rock formed a dome that supported the entirety of Horror Mountain Village, which meant that the area beneath the village was hollow.

Ten thousand meters below lay a bottomless magma sea that measured a few million square meters. The blood-red magma was emitting horrific heat energy. If anyone were to fall in, they will die without leaving a trace even if they were elites.

“Bang!” Yang Dingtian and Ningning did not fall into the magma sea but fell hard onto a huge slab that was suspended in midair.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…..” Four elites in black robes descended from the huge entrance and hovered around Yang Dingtian.

Then, an old man descended slowly, carrying Zhao Mu on his back and placing him on the other end of the slab. The suspended slab was about a hundred square meters.

“Both of you must be here for the Millennium Owl, judging from your hard work,” Zhao Mu said.

Ningning helped Yang Dingtian up and complained coldly, “How dare you, Zhao Mu? My Red Rock Fortress will not let you go. The same goes for the Qin family.”

“You aren't Qin Hongmian at all,” Zhao Mu said coldly. “I found out last night.”

Both Yang Dingtian and Ningning were shocked, but they did not utter a single word.

Zhao Mu smiled. “Because the woman who brought you all to the Phoenix Guest House was not my wife, Qin Wanru. Since you didn't recognize her, from that moment onwards, I knew that you were definitely not Qin Hongmian.”

Yang Dingtian and Ningning exchanged a glance. They never expected to have made this mistake. Zhao Mu was truly cunning.

“The reason I played along with your act was because I wanted to know your true motives for coming here,” Zhao Mu said. “I guessed it correctly. It was for the Millennium Owl.”

Yang Dingtian looked at Zhao Mu's pale and handsome face and felt chills in his heart. This person was truly a sly fox, even more cunning than his father. He probably used all he had to hone his talents in manipulation after being crippled by Dongfang Bingling.

“Of course, even the real Qin Hongmian needs to die,” Zhao Mu said. “Because Qin Shaobai has given orders to all forces within hundreds of kilometers to rape and kill Qin Hongmian once she is found. As long as one is able to chop off her head, he will reward one heavily.”

Zhao Mu looked at Ningning's delicate body and said, “Then, I'll just go with the flow and abuse you a hundred times before sending you to Qin Shaobai.”

“As for your beautiful lover.” Zhao Mu looked at Yang Dingtian and said, “Didn't you both want the Millennium Owl? Then, we'll feed him to it.”

“Throw him down,” Zhao Mu ordered coldly.

Immediately, an elite in black robes charged over, and a huge force pushed Yang Dingtian forward.

Yang Dingtian's body flew off the platform, falling down towards the magma abyss.

“No!” Ningning shouted and jumped off the slab, trying to grab Yang Dingtian's hand.

No one expected her to jump down after Yang Dingtian.

At the same time, a loud noise erupted from the magma sea thousands of meters below, and countless blood-red magma jets spurt out. Then, an incomparably huge beast emerged from the magma sea, revealing half of its horrifying body. It opened its mouth and kept growling.

Then, the entire huge abyss cave started shaking.

It was the Millennium Owl, an extremely powerful and rare dark creature.

Yang Dingtian and Ningning kept falling, and as they were about to fall into the abyss, they landed on the belly of the Millennium Owl.

“Zhao Mu, do you want to cure the cold poison in your body? Do you want to recover and become strong again?” Yang Dingtian held onto Ningning's hand as they were falling and yelled back at Zhao Mu as they did.

The Millennium Owl below had already opened its mouth wide, preparing to swallow the two of them.

“Wait…” Zhao Mu waved his hand.

“Whoosh…” The old man stretched out his palm towards Yang Dingtian, and a strong force sucked both Yang Dingtian and Ningning back.

Zhao Mu looked at Yang Dingtian and said coldly, “Was what you said just now true? If you dare to lie to me, I'll definitely let you suffer the most tragic torture in the world. And, at that time, dying will be a luxury for you.”

“I can immediately prove it to you,” Yang Dingtian said. “Let me up.”

Zhao Mu nodded. The old man pulled back his hand, and both Yang Dingtian and Ningning returned to the large suspended rock. The Millennium Owl ten thousand meters below growled out in anger.

“Don't talk nonsense. Prove it to me or you won't survive. I will also abuse your woman here….,” Zhao Mu said coldly.

Yang Dingtian said, “If I were you, I would definitely not say that last part because we might be allies, even long-term allies.”

Then, he took out a box from his sleeve and opened it. Within lay a needle, and inside the three-to-four-inch needle was Yang Dingtian's blood.

“Inject this needle into your arm, and you'll see the effect,” Yang Dingtian said.

Zhao Mu looked at the needle, his expression filled with excitement and suspicion. He looked at Yang Dingtian and said, “How can I guarantee that what's inside is not a deadly poison? You might want to threaten me after poisoning me.”

“Do I look like such a dumb person?” Yang Dingtian said coldly.

“I will not trust anyone,” Zhao Mu said coldly: “Inject this needle on your woman first. Then, pass it to me.”

“Then, it will only be left with half the effect,” Yang Dingtian said.

“Do it,” Zhao Mu ordered.

“No,” Yang Dingtian said coldly. “I can inject it in my body but not in my woman's because I don't want her to have any contact with you, even if it's indirect.”

Zhao Mu scanned Yang Dingtian from top to bottom for a while. Then, he nodded and said, “Okay, then inject it into your body first to test it.”

Even before the other finished talking, Yang Dingtian injected the needle into his arm and pulled it out.

Zhao Mu waited for a moment, and after he'd confirmed that nothing had happened to Yang Dingtian, he said, “Give me the needle.”

The old man reached out with his palm again, and the needle was sucked to his hands. He placed it below his nose and sniffed it lightly. Then, he said with a rough voice, “This thing is of Yang nature and is not poisonous.”

Zhao Mu took the needle, his expression showing his struggle. While he was filled with hope, at the same time, he didn't want to inject it.

“In this world, no one else can cure the cold poison in your body except for me. It's better to take the risk instead of living so powerlessly. It doesn't matter even if you die,” Yang Dingtian said. “Also, even if you decide not to take this risk, you would probably have three to five years of life left before the cold poison penetrates into your heart.”

It seemed like he was persuaded by Yang Dingtian's words. The muscles on Zhao Mu's face tightened, and he stuck it into his arm. Yang Dingtian's Yang blood instantly flowed into his body.

Immediately, a heat energy emerged from his arm, spreading inch by inch upwards until it spread through his entire body.

Zhao Mu showed a disbelieving expression, and his face was filled with happiness. Although Yang Dingtian promised great results, he himself did not have high hopes because he had been disappointed countless times before, having long since lost hope. But, he never thought that the effect of this needle would be so impressive that it worked immediately.

However, three minutes later, this heat energy gradually weakened and ultimately disappeared. This needle probably cleared one-fifth of the cold poison in his body.

“Do you have more? Where else can I find more? Quickly give it to me!” Zhao Mu said as he trembled.

“Young master, you can only use one needle at a time. You'll probably need five needles to completely eliminate the cold poison in your body,” Yang Dingtian said.

“Why? Why can't I eliminate it all at once? Tell me what you want. I can give you anything,” Zhao Mu said desperately.

“How is that so easy?” Yang Dingtian said. “I have transferred the Yang energy in my body into this needle, and once every few hours is already my limit.”

Zhao Mu stared at Yang Dingtian for some time and said, “Okay, then I have to trouble you.”

“Mister, you must have prepared before coming right?” Zhao Mu said.

Yang Dingtian nodded and said, “Indeed, I came to make a deal with you. I can cure your cold poison, and you will give me the Millennium Owl.”

“Haha!” Zhao Mu burst into laughter and said, “You are too much. This Millennium Owl is so rare that even ten of my lives won't be as valuable as this beast. Mister, don't be too greedy. This Millennium Owl is the foundation of my Horror Mountain Village. Nothing can be exchanged for it.”

“You're right,” Yang Dingtian nodded and said. “This Millennium Owl could be more precious than that Millennium Demonic Fox with a Xuan Tail, but within these three hundred years, no one has succeeded in turning it into a weapon soul, which means that the beast is no longer of any value to your village and can even bring about a huge disaster. In five days, when both moons cover both suns, this Millennium Owl will become extremely powerful, break the seal, and destroy the entire village.”

“That's why using a completely worthless Millennium Owl to exchange for your life, exchange for your strength, is a good deal,” Yang Dingtian said. “Accept the deal. Otherwise, throw us down there to feed the beast!”
