The old ancestor of the Qian family talked and talked.

Mo Painting listened in shock, feeling both a little reasonable and as if something wasn’t right, for a while he was also a little confused.

Suddenly, a strange feeling arose in his heart again.

Those with deep schemes are usually sparse with words.

This old ancestor of the Qian family shouldn’t be a talkative person, so why was he talking to himself so much and for so long?

Moreover, up until now, the old ancestor of the Qian family had been chattering endlessly by himself. Hadn’t Qian Hong said a word?

How strange…

Mo Painting cautiously poked out his little head again and secretly peeked. This time he looked a little longer and saw more clearly. After looking, he couldn’t help but be startled.

That Qian Hong had his eyes closed and his face was deathly pale.

Blood-red array patterns were drawn on his chest, and all the blood in his body seemed to be condensing towards the heart meridian along the array patterns.

But his blood was black, decayed.

All the skin on his body was as pale as paper, just like his face, and there wasn’t a trace of vitality on his entire body.

This Qian Hong was already a dead person!

Mo Painting was startled.

The old ancestor of the Qian family had always been talking to a dead person.

A dead person wouldn’t speak, so it had always been only the old ancestor of the Qian family talking endlessly.

And the old ancestor of the Qian family seemed to be waiting, waiting for Qian Hong’s blood to solidify and condense into an evil array.

While waiting, he had the leisure to say so many words.

The old ancestor of the Qian family looked at Qian Hong and said faintly again:

“The Life Essence Pill has a flaw. Different people are used to refine the pill, their bloodlines are different, and when mixed together, it’s quite impure…”

“It needs the heart of a blood relative as a medicine guide to harmonize the different bloodlines within the pill. Only then, when the pill is taken, will it not suffer rejection from the pill’s power.”

“I originally chose Xing’er for this person, but he didn’t meet the requirements, so now only you, as his father, can do it.”

“I was originally very optimistic about you and let you be the head of the family, but unfortunately, you have everything, but you also lack a little of everything. You are not ruthless enough, not selfish enough, and not enduring enough… moreover, you are greedy for the position of family head and worry about the survival of the Qian family, even disobeying my orders for this. This is simply ridiculous and stupid.”

“In this world, everyone except oneself is an outsider, even one’s closest blood and flesh. You just don’t understand this principle…”

Mo Painting listened with a shocked heart. This Qian Hong must have had some dispute and disagreement with the old ancestor of the Qian family, which led to this outcome.

As Mo Painting was thinking, he suddenly saw Qian Hong’s chest emit a bloody evil light.

The evil array had condensed!

Before Mo Painting could react, the old ancestor of the Qian family, without mercy, directly pierced through Qian Hong’s chest with his palm, took out his heart, and threw it to the pig demon’s mouth.

The pig demon swallowed the heart stupidly, its aura surged, and the blood marks on its body emitted light and seeped out more blood. A strange and evil demonic power also circulated with the evil array.

The evil array was forcibly activated, the pig demon’s blood flowed backward, and it let out an even more piercing and heart-wrenching roar.

Mo Painting only felt his eardrums vibrate, his head was dizzy and swollen, and he quickly squatted down and covered his ears.

But the shrieks were everywhere and still entered Mo Painting’s ears.

The sound was shrill and gradually became strange. Among them seemed to be mixed with human voices, as if countless cultivators had fallen into boundless hell and were calling and struggling in suffering.

Mo Painting forcibly endured the pain and discomfort, not knowing how long it had been before the pig demon’s shriek finally stopped.

Replacing it was the ferocious laughter of the old ancestor of the Qian family.

Mo Painting calmed his heart and cautiously poked his head out to look again.

Qian Hong’s eyes were tightly closed, his chest was wide open, his skin was withered and pale, and he looked even more like a dead person than a dead person.

The pig demon lay on the ground, seemingly having lost its vitality, but through its skin and flesh, one could faintly see a red glow emanating from its chest. It seemed to have a heart, trembling evilly and madly.

From a distance, Mo Painting could feel the sound of the pig demon’s heartbeat.

One beat after another…

Every beat made Mo Painting’s heart palpitate.

And at this time, the old ancestor of the Qian family no longer had that profound appearance. His expression was ferocious, and he laughed loudly and wantonly:

“The Life Essence Pill, over a hundred years of effort, is finally completed!”

Before he finished speaking, the old ancestor of the Qian family’s hand was like sharp claws, as swift as the wind, drawing out a bloody light, directly tearing open the pig demon’s chest and taking out its heart.

Mo Painting was greatly shocked.

This heart was precisely the Life Essence Pill!

The old ancestor of the Qian family opened his mouth and directly ate the blood-dripping pill.

Things suddenly changed, Mo Painting’s heart sank, and he secretly said it was over.

The old ancestor of the Qian family took the Life Essence Pill, his aura gradually became violent, and he began to refine the medicinal power. Once he refined the medicinal power, he could break through his realm and become a cultivator at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

At that time, the cultivators in Tongxian City would be unable to deal with him.

Not only that, all the people in this lair would probably die at his hands!

What to do?

Mo Painting forced himself to calm down and began to think of ways.

At this time, he must interrupt him and not let him refine the Life Essence Pill peacefully.

Mo Painting took out a Grade One Earth Fire Duplication Array.

He had painstakingly derived this set of duplication arrays beforehand. The array method of the duplication array was drawn on the array disc, making it convenient to arrange, and a reverse spirit array was already drawn on the array hub by Mo Painting in advance.

Collapsing the duplication array was his only means that could potentially threaten the old ancestor of the Qian family.

Mo Painting arranged the array in front of him, then mustered his courage and shouted loudly:

“Old turtle bastard!”

This clear scolding sound entered the ears of the old ancestor of the Qian family, making him momentarily stunned.

The old ancestor of the Qian family turned his head and saw Mo Painting, who looked a little nervous but had firm eyes.

Mo Painting pointed at him and said: “Old turtle bastard, you’re finished!”

Mo Painting immediately shook the Dao Ting Si copper bell, and a wave of obscure spiritual power fluctuations transmitted out.

At the same time, Commander Yang and others who were searching in the lair all sensed the strange sound of the copper bell, their expressions became serious, and they all rushed towards Mo Painting’s side.

This copper bell was the standard spiritual tool of the Dao Ting Si, specially used for mutual communication.

Before entering the lair, each person had one in their hand.

After shaking the copper bell, Mo Painting’s heart calmed down slightly, and then he vigilantly looked at the old ancestor of the Qian family.

He considered several possibilities:

If the old ancestor of the Qian family remained unmoved and continued to refine the medicinal power, then he would learn from Elder Yu and scold the old ancestor of the Qian family’s ancestors for eight generations, making him unable to sit in meditation peacefully and delaying his time to refine the medicinal power;

If the old ancestor of the Qian family became angry and lost his composure and wanted to kill him, then he would turn around and run. The old ancestor of the Qian family chasing after him would crash into the Grade One Earth Fire Duplication Array.

Even if the power of the collapsing duplication array couldn’t kill the old ancestor of the Qian family, it would at least severely injure him, or at the very least, it could obstruct him for a while, and he could escape.

As long as he could stall for some time, prevent the old ancestor of the Qian family from refining the medicinal power and breaking through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and then wait until Elder Yu and Commander Yang converged, with many people and great strength, they could get rid of the old ancestor of the Qian family.

But the old ancestor of the Qian family still exceeded Mo Painting’s expectations.

Even though Mo Painting, a junior, scolded him as “old turtle bastard” in front of the old ancestor of the Qian family, the old ancestor of the Qian family didn’t show the slightest anger.

On the contrary, he just looked at Mo Painting silently.

“Is it you?” The old ancestor of the Qian family recognized Mo Painting and said in surprise, “How did you get in, I didn’t even detect it?”

Mo Painting snorted coldly.

The old ancestor of the Qian family frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and suddenly realized, saying: “You know hidden techniques?”

Mo Painting’s eyes slightly condensed, his expression suddenly tightened, and he detected something unusual.

Someone was probing him with divine sense.

It was the old ancestor of the Qian family!

Only this divine sense came quickly and went quickly, withdrawing after a touch, making it difficult for people to detect.

At the same time, the old ancestor of the Qian family, who had withdrawn his divine sense, said in surprise:

“Such a thick divine sense, I actually can’t see through it…”

Mo Painting frowned.

The old ancestor of the Qian family had deep cultivation and many schemes. If he continued to drag on like this, he definitely wouldn’t be able to win against him.

Mo Painting then thought of angering him. He thought of the words Elder Yu said when he scolded people and opened his mouth to scold:

“Old turtle bastard, you are heartless, you even killed your own grandson.”

The old ancestor of the Qian family’s own grandson was precisely Qian Hong.

Qian Hong was used as a medicine guide, so he must have been killed by the old ancestor of the Qian family himself.

The old ancestor of the Qian family still wasn’t angry, instead he looked at Mo Painting with interest:

“You are scolding me because you want me to make a move to kill you, and then fall into the array you arranged?”

Mo Painting’s thoughts were exposed, his heart panicked, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface.

The old ancestor of the Qian family then said with some curiosity:

“What kind of array did you arrange that can actually threaten a Foundation Establishment cultivator?”

“Do you want to try?” Mo Painting said.

The old ancestor of the Qian family thought for a moment, shook his head, “Even a lion uses its full strength when fighting a rabbit. Even if you are only at the Qi Refining stage, I will not underestimate you.”

Mo Painting frowned, feeling a little disappointed.

This old ancestor of the Qian family was too difficult to deal with.

You’re at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, will you die if you underestimate me a little?

If he didn’t come, wouldn’t his array be uselessly arranged.

The old ancestor of the Qian family saw through Mo Painting’s mood and smiled slightly, then suddenly was startled again and slowly said:

“That’s not right!”

His gaze towards Mo Painting became more and more serious, “It’s you!”

Mo Painting’s heart skipped a beat, he pretended not to understand and denied: “No!”

“No, it’s you!” The old ancestor of the Qian family shook his head and said: “It was you who did it, sneaking into Black Mountain Village, cracking the array, summoning Dao soldiers to surround and annihilate Black Mountain Village, and investigating the old man’s identity, it was all you.”

“That’s right, that’s right, this makes sense!”

The old ancestor of the Qian family gradually figured it out.

“You know hidden techniques, you know arrays, your divine sense is strong, and… you also knocked out Xing’er. You must have asked him something, and in order not to let me discover, you just knocked him out…”

“Yes, this can explain it.”

The old ancestor of the Qian family frowned, muttering to himself, connecting everything together.

Mo Painting’s heart, however, was cold.

It was over, in the blink of an eye, everything he had done was guessed by the old ancestor of the Qian family.
