After explaining some words to everyone, Tang Yu helped Old He into a guest room and began the acupuncture treatment for the old man.
Lu Junzhuo stood by helping.
Chi Yin and Ling Han, the two women, went to buy medicinal herbs to prepare a medicine.
After spending most of the day on treatment.
Old He, who had been lying on the bed, finally woke up.
When he woke up, Old He slowly sat up in bed, and his eyes became incredibly sharp.
The invisible energy emanating from his body made Chi Yin and Ling Han feel a pressure.
Tang Yu stood there but remained indifferent. The old man had recovered a bit after healing from his illness.
But he still hadn't fully returned to the [Celestial] level.
Even if he returned to the [Celestial] level, it would be hard for him to pose a threat to Tang Yu at this point.
"How do you feel?"
Seeing that Old He wasn't fully recovered yet, Tang Yu took the initiative to ask.
Old He only looked at Tang Yu with a painful expression.
After Tang Yu had healed him, he had regained his memories, and his mind was as clear as an ordinary person's.
But it was precisely this that caused him more suffering. Looking at Tang Yu, he said: "Why did you heal me?"
In the past, he lived in pain every day...
Eventually, he went mad, becoming a lunatic, as if he had been a completely different person.
Now, after being healed and recovered, he was overwhelmed by the pain.
"I came to ask you some things about you, the traitor of the Nine Heavens Alliance. It was you who helped Ye Feilong open the tomb door, wasn't it?"
Tang Yu asked with a smile.
Upon hearing the word "traitor of the Nine Heavens Alliance," Old He's expression instantly changed to one of humiliation, and he clenched his fist tightly, like a beast about to go mad.
Lu Junzhuo and the others frowned, ready to intervene at any moment.
Fortunately, after a moment of tension, Old He sighed with a melancholic expression.
"You're not wrong, I really am a traitor."
"Let's talk. I'm very curious about what Ye Feilong promised you in the past to make you decide to become a traitor."
Tang Yu, not concerned about Old He becoming aggressive, took a chair, sat down, and smiled.
Old He sighed and began explaining in a low voice.
As the elder in charge of the tomb, his loyalty to the Nine Heavens Alliance was unquestionable.
But when Ye Feilong approached him, he found that his daughter, the one he loved the most, was under Ye Feilong's control due to a poison.
He had lost his wife in his youth, and he always considered his daughter, who was very much like his wife, more important than his own life.
After much internal struggle, he had no choice but to yield to Ye Feilong.
Ye Feilong promised him that if he achieved his goals, he would not only cure the poison in his daughter but also train her until she became an expert at the second level of the [Celestial] level.
But in the end, the plan failed, and both the Qiu family and the Nine Heavens Alliance lost many people.
Among them was his daughter.
Stunned, he finally decided to escape from the Nine Heavens Alliance while holding his daughter's body in his arms.
After finding a beautiful place to bury her, the old man went completely mad.
When he finished telling his story, Tang Yu frowned and asked: "So, was the Ye family behind the Nine Dragons Formation?
Apart from enhancing cultivation, what else can the Nine Dragons Formation do?"
"Suppress the luck of the country."
Old He, as the elder in charge of the tomb and someone who had dealt with Ye Feilong, knew a lot about the Nine Dragons Formation and explained:
"Actually, what it does is accumulate the luck of the country, like a reservoir storing water. By maintaining the country's luck, the country naturally prospers. Ye Feilong, this madman, tried to steal the country's luck and fuse it with himself and the Ye family."
"The country's luck..."
Upon hearing the mention of "the country's luck," Tang Yu smiled.
"I remember the Grand Elder also mentioned something similar before, but this sounds somewhat illusory, doesn't it? A country's prosperity depends on the efforts of all, right?"
"Of course, collective effort is indispensable, but as the saying goes, 'Man plans, but heaven decides.' You must understand what that means."
Old He explained.
Tang Yu nodded. It is true that effort is important, but luck also plays a very relevant role.
"And how does Ye Feilong plan to take control of the Nine Dragons Formation?"
Tang Yu asked, addressing the issue that concerned him the most.
"This man is a scholar in everything related to the heavens and humans, how can I guess what he's thinking? Although the last time he broke the Nine Dragons Formation, he did prepare something. What exactly, I don't know."
Although Old He felt deep resentment toward Ye Feilong, he couldn't help but feel respect for him when speaking of his abilities.
"Understood."
Tang Yu nodded and then smiled, saying: "So, will you teach me how to open the door?"
"What do you want to do?" Old He frowned and said: "Besides, it's related to the Nine Dragons Formation. It's not something you can master with just one lesson."
"Just teach me. Ye Feilong killed your daughter, I'll take care of his grandson."
Tang Yu smiled disdainfully.
Upon hearing Tang Yu's words, Old He stopped doubting and began teaching him everything he knew, passing on his accumulated knowledge throughout his life.
Tang Yu listened while applying accelerated training to absorb the information.
When he finished, Tang Yu nodded in satisfaction and smiled: "I understand."
"Do you really understand?" Old He looked at him with a doubtful expression.
Does this guy think it's as easy as memorizing a multiplication table?
"Our young Tang is very impressive!" Chi Yin couldn't help but whisper from behind.
Young Master Tang trained in ancient martial arts as naturally as eating or drinking, how complicated could something like the Nine Dragons Formation be?
"So, when are you going to return to the Nine Heavens Alliance? Do you want me to accompany you?"
Old He asked with a complex expression.
"Taking you with me would only expose my identity. Besides, you're a traitor. If I go with you, I won't be able to escape even if I jump into the Yellow River."
Tang Yu waved his hand.
He planned to interfere with Ye Qiu when he was breaking the formation and take the object that broke the formation, which the Old Dragon King had given him, ensuring that the Old Dragon King would never have the chance to succeed in the future.
If he didn't do this, who knew where the next Ye Qiu was waiting for his chance?
He couldn't stay in the Nine Heavens Alliance his whole life as a mere tomb guardian, could he?
"Alright."
Old He looked somewhat guilty. No matter what had happened, he couldn't evade responsibility for the tragedy of the Nine Heavens Alliance of the past.
Once everything was over, he would return to the Nine Heavens Alliance to face punishment for his betrayal.
After getting enough information from Old He, the four of them returned downstairs.
Lu Junzhuo looked at Tang Yu and asked: "Young Master Tang, what do you plan to do now? Do you need our help?"
"Go buy some supplies for me."
Tang Yu sent Lu Junzhuo the list of materials he needed via his phone.
Lu Junzhuo looked at the list and then smiled bitterly: "These can only be found on the black market. It might take me a day to get them."
Such prohibited items aren't that hard to find abroad, but in China, with the strict control, it's quite problematic to get them.
"Alright."
Tang Yu nodded, giving the task to Lu Junzhuo.
Just then, his phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, he realized it was Liu Ruyan.
As soon as he pressed the answer button, a soft, coquettish voice came from the other end of the phone: "Dad, I want something~"
