Chapter 3074: Chapter 3075: Half a Severed Finger

Even the clan elders of the Zhong family, no matter how special, had to bow before the poison. Soon, the fifth clan elder confessed everything he knew without reservation.

"It was killed by Ning Ran. Ning Ran hates that his father was sacrificed back then, but there was nothing we could do at that time. Those years, the clan had not experienced much birth, old age, illness, or death. It just so happened that his father fell seriously ill. What’s wrong with sacrificing a little for the family?"

"Why are you in such a hurry to find Ao Song?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

The fifth clan elder’s eyes were vacant, and he said blankly, "Its regenerative ability is strong, they say it might be revived, but the core is gone, so we need to find a suitable person to replace it. Ao Song has the same abilities as it, only Ao Song is suitable."

Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun exchanged a glance, seeing the surprise in each other’s eyes. Revive Taisui? Use Ao Song as the core?

"How do you revive it? Isn’t this an evil technique?" Bai Ruozhu asked again.

"I don’t know, I haven’t been exposed to that level," the fifth elder replied.

Jiang Yichun frowned slightly, "What else do you know?"

"Even if you can’t find out anything from you, the clan can still capture her. They sent us to intercept you because they are afraid you might ruin our plans." The fifth elder continued, "The third elder has already communicated with Ao Song through a family secret technique. Her parents are in our hands; she won’t not come back."

"Zhong Kui is the patriarch of the Zhong family, how dare you treat him this way?" Bai Ruozhu was furious, almost wanting to directly beat the fifth elder.

"The patriarch is merely a position, dealing with chores. It’s us clan elders who have the say. Besides, in the face of family interests, what is a patriarch? The Zhong family can’t be without Taisui!" the fifth elder said.

Jiang Yichun patted Bai Ruozhu on the shoulder, "Don’t get angry for now. Cripple his martial arts and use him as a hostage. Let’s see how the Zhong family reacts then."

"Alright." Bai Ruozhu directly poured some medicine on the fifth elder’s head and threw him to Jianqi.

The medicine made it impossible for him to use inner strength, rendering him a crippled person.

...

Meanwhile, Ao Song and Astrologer, who were still heading towards Danliang Country, received a letter from the Zhong family’s secret technique.

Ao Song became tense all over, catching a small box delivered by a bluebird.

"What is this?" Astrologer asked.

"It’s the Zhong family’s secret communication technique. Because the Bluebird is precious, flying once requires feeding it extremely expensive medicinal materials, so it’s rarely used unless it’s a special situation." Ao Song’s face turned slightly pale, "I’m afraid it’s a declaration of war."

As she spoke, she slowly opened the wooden box, her hand slightly trembling with tension.

Astrologer held her hand, looked into her eyes, and said, "Don’t worry, I’m here for everything."

Ao Song gratefully smiled at him, with a newfound determination in her eyes, and opened the small wooden box.

Unexpectedly, at the instant she saw inside, her face changed dramatically, and the next second she cried out in pain.

Astrologer snatched the box, his face turning instantly pale, as it contained half a finger, seemingly cut off not long ago, still stained with fresh blood.

And on that finger, there was a Four-Sided Ring, identical to the one he remembered Ao Song’s father owning.

"I will kill them!" Ao Song roared in anger, and Astrologer hurriedly embraced her, advising, "You need to stay calm now, there’s a letter too, let’s read it first and then decide what to do."

Ao Song was already sobbing uncontrollably, "How can I stay calm? That ring can only be worn by the patriarch, and that finger is my father’s!"
