Chapter 586: Deception
These revelations left Qin Sang not only shocked, but also overjoyed.
If everything Wandering Man had said was true, then this Nine-Illusion Heavenly Orchid was very likely snatched from the Hanging Garden Palace by Yuanzhao Sect’s grandmaster. Otherwise, Yi Tianye wouldn’t have pursued it so relentlessly.
During their time in the Sunken Cave, Yi Tianye had secretly taken control of the flying yaksha. He had every opportunity to flee while Qin Sang was away, and slowly find a way to erase the soul imprint, refine the flying yaksha’s primordial spirit, and completely claim the body.
Yet he had chosen to stay and take that risk. It had to be for the Nine-Illusion Heavenly Orchid!
Qin Sang noticed that with every sentence Wandering Man uttered, Yi Tianye’s expression grew darker.
Finally, Wandering Man let out a light chuckle and said casually, "Brother Qin, if this man truly holds information about the Jade Liquid of Three Radiances, why would you still fear that he might destroy the Purple Cloud Fruit? The Jade Liquid of Three Radiances is hailed as a supreme healing elixir. Healing the hidden damage to your foundation would be effortless. It would render the Purple Cloud Fruit entirely unnecessary. Why not capture him right now?"
He suddenly shouted.
Yi Tianye’s expression changed drastically. He had never imagined Wandering Man would so easily see through his intentions.
With just a few words, the situation had flipped. He had become the hunted.
A surge of black mist burst from Yi Tianye’s palm, corpse qi coiling around the Purple Cloud Fruit tree, intending to destroy it on the spot.
It was while sorting through Founder Kuiyin’s relics that he discovered an ancient bamboo slip taken from the Ziwei Palace. Only then did he learn about the Hanging Garden Palace and the Jade Liquid of Three Radiances.
Later, he inadvertently came across a secret incident that had taken place in Ziwei Palace, leading him to infer that the Jade Liquid of Three Radiances might still be hidden there.
