Chapter 27: Uncle, you wouldn't want to see Sister Zhixue die so tragically, would you?
"Indeed, my nephew can summon the 'spirit' of the Qin clan's ancestors to join forces with my ancestor!" Yang Jiuli said with a smile.
"Good, good! If the two Grandmasters join forces, they can indeed kill the Wei traitor in the blink of an eye!" Qin Shisan exclaimed.
"Cough cough..." In his excitement, he coughed repeatedly and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Master..." Qin Jianhe looked at Qin Shisan with a worried expression and handed him a brocade handkerchief.
"It's alright..." Qin Shisan took the handkerchief, wiped away the bloodstains, and waved his hand.
Then, he looked at Yang Jiuli and said, "If this succeeds, the previous promise will still stand."
"Uncle Qin, please don't be impatient," Yang Jiuli said. "For this matter to succeed, we need your cooperation!"
Qin Shisan said, "I will definitely cooperate fully with my nephew!"
"In that case, I would like to ask Uncle to invite the immortal body of Ancestor 'Jianmei' here." Yang Jiuli touched his nose and glanced at Qin Shisan and said.
"Invite the ancestor's immortal body here?" Qin Shisan was taken aback. He looked at Yang Jiuli seriously, thinking he had misheard.
Are they going to open the coffin?
Wasn't the promise to summon heroic spirits?
"Only if the venerable ancestor 'Jianmei' personally appears can I perform this secret technique," Yang Jiuli said earnestly.
"Is it necessary for the Ancestor's immortal body to be present in person?" Upon hearing this, Qin Jianhe frowned and looked at Qin Shisan.
Qin Shisan remained silent for a few breaths, then looked up and asked, "Is there no other way?"
"There is no other way!" Yang Jiuli said.
Qin Shisan remained silent.
A little while later, he looked at Yang Xuan again.
Yang Xuan gestured with his teacup, then took a sip himself.
Seeing this, Qin Shisan had already made up his mind. His gaze hesitated, and he seemed about to speak but then stopped.
"What's wrong, Uncle? Are you having some trouble?" Yang Jiuli asked.
"This is indeed a difficult matter!" Qin Shisan said.
Our ancestor has been buried in the forbidden area.
If we were to ask him to leave, that would be a grave act of treason!
Even though Qin Shisan was a grandmaster, he felt a chill run down his spine and could vaguely imagine the scene of his clansmen poking at his back.
Like Yang Xiangru at Piaoxue Mountain Villa.
Grandmaster Qin Jianmei was revered as a god by the people of Mingjian Manor, and was the object of their faith, not to be desecrated.
"It is my fault for putting you in such a difficult position, Uncle!" Yang Jiuli said. "However, I am unable to help you with the matter of rescuing Sister Zhixue!" He bowed and said apologetically.
"This..." Qin Shisan reached out, wanting to say something, but didn't speak. His brows were furrowed, and he seemed to be having a battle of wits with heaven and man.
Since ancient times, the Great Wei has always respected etiquette and law.
Even grandmasters should revere their ancestors.
Moreover, Qin Jianmei is an unparalleled patriarch who led the Famous Sword Manor to glory, a legend in the martial arts world!
Qin Shisan also found it difficult to pull down the dough sheet.
Not everyone is as open-minded as Yang Jiuli, who lived several lifetimes and became indifferent to fame.
Yang Jiuli glanced at Qin Shisan and understood that the latter was tempted but bound by worldly etiquette.
Yang Jiuli remained silent for three breaths.
After a moment, Yang Jiuli sighed, "What a pity for my sister Zhixue. She was in the prime of her life, with the potential to become a grandmaster. She should have been a peony blooming under the blazing sun, destined for a brilliant life. But now she is about to perish. Alas! Beauty is fleeting!"
He sighed repeatedly.
"Zhixue, it's my fault! I can't save you!" Yang Jiuli sighed, his voice full of emotion, as if he and Qin Zhixue were bosom friends.
"This..." Upon hearing this, Qin Shisan's expression changed, and he looked quite unpleasant.
Yang Jiuli's words kept echoing in his mind.
"He should have had a brilliant life... a brilliant life!"
"Her beauty has faded away! Her beauty has faded away!"
"It's my incompetence..."
These words echoed endlessly in Qin Shisan's mind like a demonic chant.
This caused beads of sweat to begin to trickle down Qin Shisan's forehead.
"If Xue'er were to die, how could I face her mother?" Qin Shisan thought to himself, his eyes filled with sorrow.
Seeing this, Yang Jiuli's eyes gleamed, knowing that things were settled.
"Uncle, you wouldn't want Xue'er to die so tragically, would you?" Yang Jiuli asked Qin Shisan softly.
These words entered Qin Shisan's mind like a demonic chant, echoing endlessly.
This is enhanced with a soul-capturing technique, which can stir up thoughts in people's minds with just a few words and amplify them infinitely.
"Alright, I promise you! Please summon the Ancestor!" Qin Shisan suddenly revealed a determined look in his eyes and said in a powerful voice.
"Good!" Yang Jiuli smiled, his clear eyes shining. "I knew Uncle Shi wouldn't let Sister Zhixue die."
His enthusiastic demeanor made one wonder if Qin Zhixue was his confidante.
This was naturally to make the emotions more realistic, so that Qin Shisan could resonate with them.
In Yang Jiuli's plan, it would be necessary to add another Grandmaster Heroic Spirit to the journey to the "Black Abyss".
Although Tangjiabao also has Grandmasters, it is relatively easier to invite a Grandmaster from Mingjian Villa.
After all, only the Famous Sword Manor is most eager to kill Grandmaster Wei and rescue their young master.
In this way, Mingjian Villa still owes Yang Jiuli a favor.
But if we invite Tangjiabao, that would be a different story!
Yang Jiuli naturally set his sights on the Famous Sword Manor.
"Sigh!" Qin Shisan sighed deeply, knowing that a stain would be added to his life.
But when he thought of his daughter, he had no choice but to do so.
When you're in the world, you're not always in control of your own destiny!
"Master... I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle!" Qin Jianhe frowned and whispered to Qin Shisan.
Qin Shisan tapped his fingers on the arm of the chair for a moment, then said, "Go back and secretly bring the ancestor out."
"Steal?" Upon hearing this, Qin Jianhe's eyes flickered, and he asked somewhat timidly, "Is that alright?"
"Do you have a better way?" Qin Shisan said with a cold look in his eyes.
"Rest assured, Master, I will complete the mission without anyone noticing!" Qin Jianhe said.
"No, I'll go myself!" Qin Shisan hesitated slightly, then said decisively.
This matter is of utmost importance and cannot afford to be made the slightest mistake.
Without the protection of a master, safety cannot be guaranteed.
If problems arise, it will be too late to regret it.
"Uncle, I suppose the noble family has preserved the immortal body of Ancestor Mei quite well?" Yang Jiuli asked tentatively.
Although he knew that most grandmasters had already refined their bones and muscles to be as incorruptible as gold and jade, he still couldn't help but ask.
After all, this was related to the success or failure of his plan.
Upon hearing this, Qin Jianhe's eyelids twitched, not understanding what Yang Jiuli meant.
"My ancestor cultivated to the 'Jade Bone' realm long ago, making his flesh and blood incorruptible..." Qin Shisan said.
"His coffin also contained many medicinal herbs...and he was later buried in a cold cave...it must have been extremely well preserved!"
After speaking, Qin Shisan looked at Yang Jiuli.
"That's excellent!" Yang Jiuli said with a sigh of relief. "After inviting Qin Zu out, be sure to bring some ice stones to keep warm."
Buried in a cold cave, in that kind of environment, it is indeed possible to ensure that the flesh and blood do not decay.
It seems that the ancestors of these families all valued their affairs after death.
"Yes!" Qin Shisan nodded slightly.
"Besides, performing secret techniques consumes a lot of blood and energy, so I would appreciate it if you could find some precious medicines, Uncle!" Yang Jiuli said, cupping his hands in greeting.
"Don't worry, my dear nephew, your uncle will definitely prepare enough precious medicine for you!" Qin Shisan said.
"Excellent!" Yang Jiuli said with great satisfaction.
Afterwards, the two sides discussed the matter, and Qin Shisan immediately took his leave, as he needed to return to Mingjian Manor that very night to handle the matter.
Yang Jiuli finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Qin Shisan off.
With two Grandmasters present, his journey into the Black Abyss would be a sure thing!
