...This great witch of Wuxuanku is simply the embodiment of greed.
It's like plucking feathers from a passing goose. Even at this point, you're still thinking about taking advantage.
The masked man was silent for a while, then slowly said: "The Great Miko may not know much about us Kamisato."
"Let me put it this way. Since Lord Shenzi has a way to tell you where the clue to the Heavenly Dao Dust is."
"Of course... there is also a way to take back your Heavenly Dao Dust."
The chief witch, who was happily counting the spirit stones, paused for a moment, and then her expression slowly faded.
"Are you threatening me?" She said in a slightly cold tone.
“I dare not.” The masked man said calmly, “I am just conveying the will of the Son of God.”
"And, as my personal advice."
"It's best... not to anger the Son of God." He said slowly.
"He really has the ability to take away your Heavenly Dao Dust again."
The chief witch stared at the masked man intently.
The masked man still stood there motionless, as silent as a statue.
Soon, the great witch curled her lips and said, "Tsk, I wasn't brought up to be scared, don't try to scare me with your tricks."
"If the thirty days you mentioned are really that mysterious, I will give you an answer after I see it with my own eyes."
The masked man hesitated for a moment and whispered, "By then, it may be too late."
"Then give me a few more days."
The chief witch waved her hands impatiently: "At least let me kill this piece of fat meat first. I can easily take out 100,000 snacks and 10,000 bottles of elixirs. What do you gods have?"
When Chen Yin was mentioned, the masked man fell silent.
Finally, he simply clasped his fists and said, "In that case, I will come back after two people to ask for the answer from the Great Witch."
Watching the masked man's slowly leaving back, the chief witch hummed softly, turned her head and hummed a little tune, and continued to count her belongings.
After walking out of the hall, the masked man stood silently in front of the mountain, as if looking in the direction where Chen Yin was going away.
"What should we do?" the system asked softly, "Are you going to tell the Son of God about this?"
"...You can't tell the Son of God. If the Son of God knew, he would be in danger."
There was a hint of worry in the masked man's eyes.
"But if we can't win over the Great Priestess, we won't be able to gain the trust of the Son of God."
"Wait a minute."
The masked man murmured silently: "At least wait until he finishes his work and leaves."
"There's not much time left until the thirty-day period."
"hold on."
"Didn't you say that you have nothing to worry about?"
"He is not my concern." The masked man said seriously.
In the end, the system just sighed helplessly.

Under the guidance of Lian'er, Chen Yin and his party went through many twists and turns and finally arrived at a very remote hut in a valley.
"This is it!"
Lian'er walked over gently, waved on the ground casually, and then waved at Chen Yin.
"What are you doing?"
"There are poisonous insects surrounding this house." Lian'er explained, "to prevent that man from sneaking away."
The corner of Chen Yin's mouth twitched.
This Wuxuan Cave is really full of landmines.
Although the thatched cottage looks shabby, considering that most of the residences in Wuxuan Cave are not much better, this one is still acceptable.
When you walk to the door, you can hear thunderous snoring in the house.
"it's him."
Lian Er had a look of disdain and grievance on her face: "He refused to leave as soon as he arrived, so I had to find a lot of food to feed him every day. It was more tiring than feeding wild boars."
"Lian'er, you don't even have anything to eat..."
Chen Yin: “…”
Handing Lian'er a piece of bread as a comfort, Chen Yin slowly pushed open the door of the hut.
Ye Lie was lying carelessly on the bed, snoring loudly. Apart from looking a little sloppy, he didn't look like he was injured.
...I gained some weight instead.
"It's amazing that you can sleep so soundly every day."
Chen Yin was too lazy to be polite and went over to wake him up. Ye Lie's eyes widened when he saw who was coming.
"Brother Chen!? How did you get caught in here too?"
"Do I look like I was captured?" Chen Yin was speechless.
"You seem to be sleeping soundly. Don't you know that you haven't replied to my letter for more than half a year? Aren't you worried that Lingling might be worried?"
Ye Lie's eyes dimmed for a moment, but then he laughed naively.
"I can't help it. The head witch of Wuxuan Cave is even more unreasonable than I thought. Before I could even plead for mercy, she put a spell on me and locked me up in this place. There's no way I can send a message."
"Besides... I feel relieved to have Brother Chen taking care of Ye Lingling."
"You can't really treat us as a kindergarten, right?" Chen Yin rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Tell me what's going on."
Then, Ye Lie slowly narrated his experiences over the past six months.
In fact, after leaving the Cangzhe Ancient Domain, it only took him one month to reach the Wuxuan Cave.
However, when he asked the chief witch of Wuxuan Cave earnestly to save his daughter, the chief witch was evasive and when she asked for benefits, the figures were astronomical.
Ye Lie knew that even if he killed himself, he wouldn't be able to come up with that much money, so he planned to pester the enemy for a while.
But in the end, the chief witch found him so annoying that she locked him up in this place.
Fortunately, the chief witch did not intend to kill him. This maid named Lian'er was a little stupid and easy to deceive.
So in the past six months, Ye Lie's life in Wuxuan Cave has been pretty good.
Every day I just eat and sleep. It's like being raised like a pig.
"I'm also worried about Lingling's situation."
Ye Lie sighed deeply: "It's just that I'm incompetent and can only be trapped here. I don't know when I can get out."
"Fortunately, Brother Chen, you are so kind that you actually came to look for me!"
...If I don't come to see you, do I want to be a father myself? Chen Yin's mouth twitched.
Is this guy really planning to abandon his daughter to me?
"The Great Priestess is indeed different from what I imagined. She is such a useless character."
Chen Yin pinched his chin and said, "But as long as she is greedy for money, then it's easy to deal with. At most, we can just give her more benefits."
"The premise is...she really has a way to cure Ye Lingling."
Ye Lie also bowed in silence: "I'll listen to Brother Chen."
"Let's not talk about this yet."
Chen Yin turned his head and said calmly: "The man from God also appeared here."
Ye Li's aura suddenly became fierce.
"Who's coming?"
"I don't know him. He seems to be a new member who just joined Shenli."
Chen Yin said slowly: "He is trying to persuade the chief priestess to join Shenli...but doesn't Shenli only accept those who are destined to join?"
"I have heard that Shen Li actually holds some clues related to the Dust of Heaven."
Ye Lie explained: "In fact, there are clues related to the Heavenly Dao in many secret realms, but not everyone is qualified to become a Heavenly Daoist."
"The Dust of Heaven is also selective. Shenli has a lot of clues about the Dust of Heaven, but rarely finds people who meet the requirements of the Dust of Heaven."
"These people must be extremely talented or have extraordinary talents in some aspect."
For example, the man named Yao Zhuang whom Ye Lie had protected when he was still in Shenli. Although he was just an ordinary mortal, he was proficient in mathematics and his calculation ability was far beyond that of ordinary people. He was also chosen as a host by the Dust of Heaven.
"If they came to look for the High Priestess, it is very likely that the High Priestess also has the potential to become the Chosen One, and the Son of God wanted to win her over."
I see. Chen Yin nodded thoughtfully.
"That is to say... the Great Priestess may have already obtained the information about the Heavenly Dao Dust, and may even have become the Chosen One?"
Ye Lien nodded solemnly.
...That's troublesome.
If it had come to this, the great priestess might have already accepted the olive branch thrown by Kamisato.
However, Chen Yin would rather believe that, with the petty-minded girl's mind, she must be thinking of taking the opportunity to make another fortune from Shenli.
"Maybe we still have a chance." Chen Yin thought about it.
Since she is so greedy for money, and I happen to be rich.
There is still room for maneuver in this matter.
Chen Yin already had a preliminary plan in his mind.
"However, if the masked man in Kamisato knew about this, he would definitely try to stop it."
"But I can't bear to cut off his clues..." He knocked his head with a headache.
Ye Lie looked at him eagerly, with a look that said, "I don't have enough brain cells."
Luoluo was sharing bread with Lian'er.
Qingying was still leaning against the door, looking at everyone quietly.
Nan Xiaoxiang was staring in the direction of the Wuxuan Cave Hall in a trance, not knowing what he was thinking.
There’s no one I can rely on... Chen Yin sighed.
At last he settled the plan in his mind.
It seems that this time... I have to operate in two threads.
(It's already the third update. I guess it's not too much to give some votes.)
183. Generally don’t cry unless you can’t help it
After letting Luoluo and the others take Ye Lie back to rest, Chen Yin went to find the chief witch alone.
When she returned to the main hall, the witch had just packed up a large pile of spiritual stones and elixirs. She was wiping her sweat when she heard Chen Yin's smiling voice:
"The Great Witch kept her word and did not embarrass my friend. We have a pleasant cooperation."
The chief witch gently touched her dark green hair, turned around and sat back in the hall.
"This is just a ransom. I haven't agreed to save the lives you mentioned yet."
"The Great Witch is a straightforward person, so why don't we just talk straight."
Chen Yin looked like he was ready to make any request you wanted.
The great witch's beautiful eyes were deep, and she thought for a long time before she asked softly:
"Mr. Chen looks wealthy. Could he be the leader of a famous sect in the outside world? Or the young master of a wealthy family?"
Chen Yin thought about it. Although the identity of the eldest disciple of the Immortal Yu Ling sounded impressive, it was still quite different from the young master of a wealthy family as she mentioned.
