I picked up the scattered attributes

What if those delicacies and rare herbs have become commonplace in the eyes of some people and can no longer satisfy their demanding requirements?

"No, that shouldn't be possible!"

Yao Wenhua jolted awake and shook his head vigorously: "Indeed, someone proposed the idea, but it was too crazy and was completely rejected at the time!"

"If we really do that, it would be tantamount to making enemies of all the tribes of the Southern Heaven, and we would be doomed forever!"

Yao Wenhua was also present when that idea was proposed.

It sounds mysterious, but it's actually quite simple:

All living things in the world can be eaten.

Ordinary delicacies are no longer enough, so the descendants of the dragon and phoenix clans, and even members of the winged gods and humans, can become part of the menu.

Without a doubt, that suggestion was outrageous.

As a result, almost everyone present explicitly expressed their opposition.

"There's an abyss ahead, we can't just jump in like this!"

"No matter how tempting this is, we must not do it. Otherwise, Guanglingxuan will be cutting itself off from the world!"

In Yao Wenhua's memory, the proposal was shelved on the spot and was never mentioned again after that!

But now it seems...

Yao Wenhua looked around again and felt a chill run through his body.

The proposal was not shelved; instead, it was kept secret from many people and carried out in the dark, growing to an astonishing extent!

"If word gets out about everything here, it will surely make Guanglingxuan an enemy of all races!"

At the same time, Yao Wenhua also realized a problem:

Since he's been imprisoned in this jail, it means those people have no intention of letting him go!

It's easy to imagine that once he revealed the whereabouts of the key, he would not be given a way out, but would be mercilessly killed on the spot!

"woke up?"

At that moment, a cold voice rang out beside the water dungeon; it belonged to the prison guard.

It was a strange bird with three heads, six eyes, and six legs.

Three pairs of eyes stared in different directions within the prison.

“Those guys came again, saying that their patience was almost gone, and if you still refused to confess, they would just kill you.”

After the first bird's head spoke, the second bird followed suit and said:

"Even without you and without the key, we can still get into that place, it'll just be a bit more complicated."

Yao Wenhua remained silent.

Although he had realized before returning that there was likely a traitor within Guanglingxuan, otherwise there would have been no encounter at Qiming City.

Without meeting Feng Xia, he would have been doomed!

Logically speaking, he shouldn't have returned to headquarters.

But after a night of hesitation, Yao Wenhua finally came.

That old master of the pavilion was ultimately someone he had been kind to.

Without Guanglingxuan's strong support, Yao Wenhua might still be an ordinary person, let alone have the wealth and status he has today.

The kindness of guidance and cultivation.

Therefore, Yao Wenhua came without hesitation!

What he experienced at headquarters was far worse and darker than he had imagined, and he felt increasingly terrified when he thought about it now!

The third bird paused for a moment before continuing in a sharp voice, "Those lords asked me to tell you that this is for the good of Guangling Pavilion, for a bright future."

Yao Wenhua sneered.

Is this all there is to a bright future?

"If it weren't for Yao's return this time, I really wouldn't have known that the higher-ups of Guanglingxuan had already been corrupted to the point of being riddled with holes, and that they would be so eager to dig up their ancestral graves and sell their ancestors' ashes to the enemy!"

Yes.

Not only were there traitors within Guanglingxuan, but there were more than one!

Otherwise, thanks to the backup plan he prepared before returning, he wouldn't have ended up in prison.

However, there was one thing he did right!

"The key isn't on me. If they kill me, they'll never find out where it is!" Yao Wenhua's smile grew increasingly grim, but his laughter became even colder. "Besides, they think they can get the Hun Tian Fruit without the key? They're dreaming!"

"Don't think I don't know. With the restrictions in that place, it would take at least three demigods, sacrificing their cultivation, to possibly get through!"

"Guanglingxuan is not one of the top ten sects. Are they willing to pay the price of three demigods?"

"Even if they are willing to sacrifice three demigods, which three demigods would be willing to become the sacrifice to help other demigods reach the divine realm?"

The three-headed bird was rendered speechless by Yao Wenhua's retort.

Yao Wenhua breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression became calmer.

At least, the Hun Tian Fruit is still there!

Just then, the first bird head chuckled sinisterly:

“You’re absolutely right, but you probably don’t know this: that person has already been invited to obtain the Hun Tian Fruit.”

"That one—"

Yao Wenhua's expression changed drastically.

……

Chapter 0821

"You... Impossible!"

Yao Wenhua instinctively wanted to deny it.

He certainly knew who the three-headed bird jailer was referring to.

The most distinguished guest among the distinguished guests of Guangling Pavilion, and also the only guest elder, the mastermind behind all the heavy formations of Guangling Pavilion, the renowned Array Master—

Taigong waits!

However, as far as he knew, Taigong had gone into seclusion several years ago, saying that he had obtained a divine object and would not leave seclusion until he had comprehended a more profound principle!

Based on Yao Wenhua's understanding of this array master, the other party not only had a life-or-death friendship with the old master, but was also truly and completely devoted to the art of arrays.

He is of high moral character and prestige, and he always keeps his word.

This is how many outsiders describe Taigongsi.

Since he had said he wouldn't leave the seclusion until he broke through, it would be almost impossible for Taigong to leave before he made a further progress in the Dao of Arrays.

If he hadn't had such great determination and perseverance, he wouldn't have been able to reach the realm of a Array Master and achieve something even rarer than ascending to the Divine Realm!

"Could it be that he has already taken another step forward—?"

Yao Wenhua's face immediately changed, and he swayed, almost falling back into the water.

"Senior Taigongsi is probably unaware of the problems at Guangling Pavilion, nor is he aware that those individuals have become traitors. Once he hears that his old friend's lifespan is nearing its end and he needs the Hun Tian Fruit for emergency relief..."

"There's a very high chance they'll actually agree to help!"

Taigong was so engrossed in the art of battle formations that he never cared about such sordid matters. Moreover, with his old friend on the verge of death, it was almost certain that he had been deceived!

A master of array formations could indeed break the restrictions of that place and obtain the Hun Tian Fruit without needing the key in his possession.

By then, it will be too late to regret it!

"No, you must be lying to me!"

Suddenly, Yao Wenhua seemed to realize something, his eyes shining as he looked at the three-headed strange bird: "I remember that before Senior Taigongsi went into seclusion, he said that the treasure he was trying to comprehend was extremely profound, and it would take at least a hundred years before he could possibly gain any results! And it has only been a little over sixty years since he went into seclusion!"

In other words, it was impossible for Taigong Si to leave the pass!

Even if there's no gain, does that mean we can't leave the pass?

The three heads of the three-headed bird almost simultaneously emitted a sharp, eerie laugh: "Yao Wenhua, you are too naive and ignorant! Before he went into seclusion, he left behind two jade talismans, which he entrusted to his wife and daughter respectively. If a major crisis occurs, crushing the jade talismans will forcibly awaken him from seclusion."

"Do we need to remind you who that young lady's husband is?"

"damn it--"

In that instant, Yao Wenhua understood completely.

The whole story, the fog surrounding those grudges and affections, was as if an invisible hand had parted it, revealing the sun and the sky!

Initially, the crazy proposal was rejected, but it was not shelved.

Some people in Guanglingxuan colluded with some forces in the Hundred Sects Alliance to build a terrible prison, where the beings imprisoned came from various races, including humans and their allies!

The seeds of disaster were sown at that time.

Meanwhile, the son of one of the old master's disciples met the daughter of the array master Taigongsi.

The two met, got to know each other, fell in love, and got married. Everything seemed so natural. They were a perfect match and were considered a beautiful story at the time.
