Chapter chapter 478
“Master Pine, Master Li, the both of you are too polite. If not for the two of you helping me setting this whole thing up then it would’ve been all for naught. Pity though that A’bone isn’t here in the jungle, otherwise we could’ve removed the last remnant of trouble.” Chen Minzhi’s eyes were flickering with viciousness when seen.
“Second Young Master, I heard that female savage looks very beautiful, don’t you want to have a go at her?” The one called Master Li teases the lad, chuckling dangerously himself as well.
“Nothing but a barbarian that doesn’t know anything about mannerism. I originally wanted to have some fun with her in bed to gain her trust, but who could’ve guessed that bitch would suddenly start spouting about things like etiquette and stuff with me. Talk about being a bore. Really, she doesn’t even recognize her own status, thinking she could be a match for our Kai Jiang Manor.” Cackling cynically, the lad didn’t carry an ounce of fondness in his voice at all.
In response to this ruthlessness, the two alchemists only had this in their minds: They all say the first young master is peerless in terms of talent, but it seems this second young master is also as extreme in terms of his cruelness.
For A’bone herself, this poor girl could only feel her head ringing with shock like its been slapped by a giant hand. Originally she thought the bastard over there would at least hold some sort of emotions even if they didn’t get together back then, to hear such cold-hearted words were truly….
Hate, so much hate. Due to that intense rage surging through her veins, A’bone’s power had begun to violently fluctuate out of her body.
“Who is it!” The one crying out was the alchemist called Master Pine.
Casting his suspicious eyes around the area, this senior wanted to find the source of the disturbance. However, what answered next was nothing but a group of birds flocking out of the trees.
“How can there be someone here in the camp my friend, it’s too heavily guarded for that. Besides, the entire jungle’s on our side now. Forget about a spy, not even a fly could get in like this.” Master Li laughs it off, dismissing his peer’s concern as nothing.
“It looks like I am indeed overly suspicious. Second Young Master, we should head to the Beastial Sect’s ruins now considering the hour. Once you fully inherit its power then the time of reckoning will be at hand.”
But just when Chen Minzhi was ready to nod his head in agreement, that’s when the lad noticed the giant elephant nearby – it was tearing up!
“Let’s not delay then, we will go to the site immediately.” Somewhat suspicious as well after that scene, the lad hurries to leave the camp with his two followers like he’s afraid of something unexpected happening.
So close! Exhaling a sigh of relief, Ling Yue’s heart almost exploded back there.
First exchanging a glance with each other without saying a word, the girls swiftly tagged along from the back while keeping a certain distance. They may be under the effects of the invisibility pill, but that doesn’t mean their aura was hidden from those keen enough to sense it.

Very soon, both parties had arrived at a cave underneath a cliff that looked like it’s been washed away by a flash flood. Due to it being sealed with a giant boulder, the shape of this area was exceptionally difficult to spot, which explains why none of Ling Yue’s party could locate this place before.
Turns out the ruins they’ve been searching for the entire time was so close, just that the landscape had been changed since the day A’bone last visited.
It was half a day later when the girls finally saw the three men come out of the cave again.
Why is his strength so much stronger all of a sudden? It’s been barely half a day! Looks like this man isn’t just for show, his talent too is quite high as well. Ling Yue was frowning the second she scoped out the enemy after waiting for so long, which once again told her they must hurry before its too late.
“Let’s go while they are away. We can use this opportunity to break apart their ritual.”
Due to the limited number of invisibility pills left in their possession, the girls had no time left to waste and began moving away the giant boulder that’s blocking their path.
“It is here, this is where I found the skeleton!” First glance, that’s all it took for the wild girl to remember her childhood memory.
Everything remains the same, nearly identical in the shape of the rocks as well as the dampness in the air.
“Look at that wall.” After scanning the surfaces, the most noticeable part would be the sides where its been engraved with various pictures and runes.
“I think Chen Minzhi had discovered this cave early on, that’s why he was able to prepare so much in advance.” Through further searching, the pair eventually came across a piece of text that appeared to be quite old in its age at first glance.
For Ling Yue herself, this hieroglyphic text was no different from a bunch of mishmash characters, but for A’bone though, this was perfectly readable due to her remaining powers. “Found it, this is what Chen Minzhi used to deprive me of my inheritance!”
This secret method went like this: In order to forcibly rip the inheritance from an heir, one must first retrieve the personal belonging of that person like a strand of hair, saliva, or blood even. Then through the transfusion of two alchemists working in tandem to host a ritual, it would then transfer the powers to the new host after seven days.
“That’s about it, the rest is merely some basic lessons on how to tame various wild animals, nothing about reversing the ritual.” A’bone’s complexion was growing more and more direr.
“Keep looking, if there’s a will then there’s a way. I’m sure we just missed something.” Comforting her friend, Ling Yue worked fast to flip nearly every rock she could find to no avail.
As the sky got darker with each passing minute, the light within the cave too was also growing dimmer. Then just when they were ready to bring out a torch to keep searching, a strange noise from the outside had caught their ears. It sounded like a lot of something was rolling downwards.
“A’bone you slut, it really is you! Want to retake the power of inheritance from my hands? Dream on!” The voice belonged to Chen Minzhi that came from the outside.
