Chapter 26: I do indeed have a foolproof plan
"My Snowdrift Manor does indeed possess a secret technique to summon our ancestors!" Yang Jiuli nodded, making no attempt to conceal anything.
If he said it was his ancestors who manifested themselves, no one would believe him.
Who doesn't have an ancestor in their family?
Why haven't we ever seen any miracles?
This has become an open secret; it can no longer be hidden once it has been used.
Yang Jiuli did not summon the spirit of the ancestor directly at first because he did not want to reveal his trump card.
Until Grandmaster Wei appeared and overwhelmed everyone, Yang Jiuli had no choice but to use his trump card!
"There really is a secret technique!" Tang Yifan's eyes lit up. He said, "Ninth Brother, my father said he's willing to exchange the property of an entire county for this secret technique! I wonder if you could..." He looked at Yang Jiuli expectantly.
"To be honest, only I can perform this secret technique..." Yang Jiuli said.
"Really?" Tang Yifan looked at Yang Jiuli with a raised eyebrow.
"Absolutely true!" Yang Jiuli said firmly.
This "Past Life Talisman" can indeed only be cast by him.
"What a pity..." Seeing Yang Jiuli's tone and clear eyes, Tang Yifan sighed and said that the Tang family was not blessed.
"Our three families support each other. With Snowdrift Manor, you, Tang Family Fortress, will always be there... You have nothing to worry about!"
Yang Jiuli patted Tang Yifan on the shoulder and said.
Now that the Great Wei royal family is eyeing us covetously, it would be appropriate to try and win over Tangjiabao.
"Haha, with Ninth Brother's words, I feel at ease!" Tang Yifan said with a happy smile.
"Ninth Brother, that Grandmaster Wei is ultimately a menace. Do you have any plans?" He squinted at Yang Jiuli.
"We need to wait until Uncle Qin recovers from his injuries before the three of us can join forces to have a chance to eliminate him!" Yang Jiuli said.
Tang Yifan nodded slightly.
"You can stay at my Snowdrift Manor for the next few days!" Yang Jiuli said.
"Of course!" Tang Yifan said.
"There's something else, but I don't know how to bring it up..." Yang Jiuli touched the bridge of his nose and hesitated.
"Ninth Brother, please speak freely!" Tang Yifan said.
"To kill Grandmaster Wei, we must summon the spirit of my ancestor..." Yang Jiuli said.
Tang Yifan looked at Yang Jiuli and listened intently.
"Using secret techniques is extremely taxing and requires a lot of precious medicines. I wonder if Tang Family Fortress has any medicinal herbs that are over a hundred years old?"
Yang Jiuli said.
At this time, his second "Past Life Talisman" was still in its embryonic stage.
It still requires a large amount of spiritual energy or precious medicine to convert the energy of the Three Lives Stone in order to condense a complete 'Past Life Talisman'.
Therefore, Yang Jiuli focused his attention on Tangjiabao.
After all, if Grandmaster Wei is truly killed, all three major clans will benefit.
"A century-old medicine?" Upon hearing this, Tang Yifan replied, "No problem, I'll have someone collect it right away!"
Tangjiabao had monopolized the business of nine counties in the southwest for hundreds of years, so it was naturally not lacking in precious medicines.
"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, my brother!" Yang Jiuli said, raising his cup.
"Of course!" Tang Yifan raised his glass and said, "Our Tang Family Fortress should naturally contribute to the slaying of Grandmaster Wei."
Tang Yifan then took his leave and immediately went to gather medicinal herbs.
Seeing this, Yang Jiuli nodded with satisfaction, thinking to himself, "What a good (hao) brother!"
Although Yang Jiuli had long been preparing to go to the "Black Abyss", he figured he might as well use the old medicine from Tangjiabao.
After all, he couldn't just do his work for nothing and rid the martial arts world of evil, could he?
……
As night fell.
In a reception room, Yang Xuan sat in the main seat.
After a night of recuperation, Yang Xuan's injuries have healed.
This is all because he had taken two tablets of "Bi Ning Zhi" in the past, and there were still traces of the drug's effects remaining.
Yang Jiuli stood to his side.
On the other side is Qin Shisan.
Qin Jianhe stood to the side of Qin Shisan.
At this moment, Qin Shisan's face was still slightly pale; he had been seriously injured yesterday.
If Wei Wuji hadn't been seriously injured at that time, the Grandmaster's sword energy would have been enough to shred his meridians.
Because he was worried about his daughter's safety, Qin Shisan came to see Yang Xuan after his injuries had eased slightly, to discuss countermeasures.
"If Brother Yang is willing to lend a helping hand this time, my Famous Sword Manor is willing to give him a county of property!" Qin Shisan said.
"Brother, it's not that I'm unwilling to help, but rather that it's beyond my capabilities!" Yang Xuan said, holding his teacup with a troubled expression.
"With the power of Ancestor Xiangru, plus the strength of us, how can we not kill the Wei traitor?" Qin Shisan said.
Yang Xuan took a sip of tea, remained silent, and glanced at Yang Jiuli beside him out of the corner of his eye.
Qin Shisan understood and also looked at Yang Jiuli.
"Uncle Qin, I suppose you've also realized that even with my ancestor's 'manifestation,' the battle can't last long!" Yang Jiuli said after bowing.
"Even if Ancestor Xiangru can only suppress Grandmaster Wei for a moment, it is enough for us to severely injure him!" Qin Shisan frowned slightly and then said.
He didn't want to give up.
This is his only chance!
Without the intervention of a grandmaster, he alone would certainly not be able to rescue his daughter.
As for asking the three families to hand over the 'Black Abyss' ancient token in exchange for the hostages, Qin Shisan didn't have that kind of face.
"Uncle, you are so eager to save your daughter, I understand completely!" Yang Jiuli said.
"Nephew..." Qin Shisan looked at Yang Jiuli with anticipation.
"But this matter concerns the lives and fortunes of hundreds of thousands of people in my Snowdrift Manor, and we cannot afford the slightest mistake," Yang Jiuli said. "If we do not have a foolproof plan, I am afraid we cannot help you..." He cupped his hands, revealing a face full of guilt.
"This..." Qin Shisan frowned, his heart filled with worry.
"It seems Snowdrift Manor doesn't want to take any risks!" Qin Jianhe muttered to himself. "That's true, Grandmasters aren't so easy to kill!" He looked at Qin Shisan.
Qin Shisan frowned, glancing occasionally at Yang Xuan, who seemed unconcerned, and then at Yang Jiuli, who looked resolute.
For a moment, even this world-renowned sword master was at a loss.
Without the help of a Grandmaster, even if Qin Shisan mobilized the entire manor, he would not be able to save the person from Grandmaster Wei Wuji.
After all, he was facing the royal family of the Great Wei Dynasty, not ordinary martial arts forces.
"Nephew, what is the best course of action?" Qin Shisan pondered for a moment, then looked at Yang Jiuli and asked.
After a moment of contemplation and reflection, he discerned a glimmer of hope in Yang Jiuli's words.
"The best course of action is to crush Grandmaster Wei with a single flick of his finger!" Yang Jiuli said.
"Kill a Grandmaster with a flick of the finger?" Qin Jianhe frowned upon hearing this.
Qin Shisan frowned, thinking to himself, "Grandmasters are invincible; who can kill them with a flick of their finger?"
He assumed that Yang Jiuli was unwilling to help and was deliberately making excuses to avoid it.
But when he looked closely, he saw that Yang Xuan was calm and composed, as if he had already made up his mind.
This surprised Qin Shisan, who said, "Could it be that the father and son had already discussed this beforehand?"
"Nephew, do you have a foolproof plan?" Qin Shisan asked, taking a sip of his tea and looking at Yang Jiuli.
"To be honest, I do have a foolproof plan!" Yang Jiuli said with a smile.
"As expected!" Qin Shisan was overjoyed. He put down his teacup and exclaimed excitedly, "Please tell me, my dear nephew!"
Qin Jianhe also looked at Yang Jiuli with a face full of surprise.
"I wonder what kind of method this little guy has to kill a Grandmaster with a flick of his finger?" Qin Jianhe thought to himself.
"Uncle, I suppose you've already guessed that my Snowdrift Manor has a secret method to summon the 'heroic spirits' of our ancestors!" Yang Jiuli said.
"Could it be that you mean...?" Qin Shisan's eyes lit up.
