Chapter 304: Within Reach
After leaving the Heaven Demon Pavilion, Wu Laoda walked toward his residence.
He believed Ji Yang would come to find him soon.
Once back at his residence, Wu Laoda quietly waited.
However, as he waited and waited, he never saw any sign of Ji Yang.
Meanwhile, out of Wu Laoda’s sight, Ji Yang was secretly watching Wu Laoda’s actions with Ren Yuning.
In the Water Mirror ahead of them, Wu Laoda returned home but hadn’t moved since.
“Is he waiting for someone?”
Ren Yuning spoke up as she observed Wu Laoda’s expression in the mirror.
Ji Yang nodded slightly:
“It seems so. He may be waiting for others from his family. After all, this person’s cultivation level is not high, and carrying items purchased at the auction makes it hard to safely leave Heaven Demon City.”
“Hmm.”
Ren Yuning nodded, agreeing with Ji Yang’s assessment.
Ji Yang, of course, knew what Wu Laoda was waiting for—he was waiting for himself.
But with Ren Yuning by his side, he didn’t have a good plan for now.
The urgent task was to divert Ren Yuning’s attention away from Wu Laoda so he could seize the items in Wu Laoda’s possession.
As long as Ji Yang didn’t approach, Ren Yuning could do nothing; for the time being, he could just leave Wu Laoda as he was.
Wu Laoda waited in his room for some time but saw no sign of Ji Yang.
After a moment of thought, Wu Laoda quickly understood the reason; it must be due to other matters distracting Ji Yang. He decided to wait a little longer.
“Senior Sister Ning, this is too dull. Why don’t you go take a rest? I’ll keep an eye on this person.”
After a long wait, Ji Yang finally spoke up.
Ren Yuning, who had initially shown some interest, began to feel bored; this was even more tedious than her time in the sect.
She didn’t refuse, instead nodding:
“Alright then, Junior Brother, just notify me immediately if you notice anything unusual.”
“No problem! Senior Sister Ning, don’t worry!”
Ji Yang promised earnestly.
Once Ren Yuning left, Ji Yang extended his primordial spirit energy and carefully checked for others nearby. Confirming that the area was clear, Ji Yang’s figure vanished from his original spot.
At that moment, Wu Laoda pushed open his door, preparing to go out.
Though he had used plenty of spiritual stones to buy items at the auction, he still had quite a few spiritual stones left from the top-quality spiritual grains he exchanged earlier from the mountain. He felt eager to explore other shops.
Just as Wu Laoda stepped out, a familiar figure appeared before him.
Seeing this, Wu Laoda’s expression brightened:
“Finally, you’re here, my friend!”
The newcomer was none other than Ji Yang, who had rushed over while Ren Yuning was leaving.
Before Ji Yang could say much, Wu Laoda handed him a storage bag.
Ji Yang took the storage bag, opened it, and took a quick glance; everything purchased at the auction was inside, along with a good amount of spiritual stones.
This made Ji Yang nod slightly.
“Good job!”
Wu Laoda, receiving Ji Yang’s approval, was very happy, his face also showing a look of anticipation.
Ji Yang was generous and handed over a considerable amount of the remaining spiritual stones to Wu Laoda.
Though it was just a portion of the spiritual stones, it still amounted to tens of thousands.
Seeing Ji Yang so generous, Wu Laoda felt overjoyed; this large sum of spiritual stones would be enough for him to elevate his cultivation level significantly.
“Don’t get too excited; these spiritual stones aren’t free. You still need to help me with something!”
“Just say the word, my friend!”
Wu Laoda confidently patted his chest.
Ji Yang then whispered a few words, and Wu Laoda continuously nodded.
After giving his instructions, Ji Yang prepared to leave.
But at that moment, Wu Laoda hesitated and said:
“My friend, what about the antidote?”
He still remembered the toxic pill Ji Yang had made him swallow, and he couldn’t help but worry.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yang paused for a moment, then again threw out a pure white pill, saying lightly:
“This is the antidote!”
“After this matter, you know what to do, right?”
Wu Laoda pondered for a moment and replied:
“We are not acquainted.”
Seeing Wu Laoda’s understanding, Ji Yang didn’t say more and quickly vanished from his sight.
After confirming Ji Yang had left, Wu Laoda carefully observed the pill Ji Yang had just given him.
At a glance, Wu Laoda furrowed his brow.
How does this look somewhat similar to the “poison pill” I took earlier?
After thinking it over several times, Wu Laoda steeled himself, closed his eyes, and swallowed the pill; at this point, he had no choice but to trust Ji Yang.
As the pill went down, Wu Laoda smacked his lips.
Not only did it look similar, but the taste also felt alike.
However, the pure spiritual energy within the pill made Wu Laoda feel a significant boost in his cultivation level.
This feeling was undoubtedly the effect of the antidote!
The heavy weight that Wu Laoda had been carrying finally lifted, and at that moment, he recalled Ji Yang’s instructions before leaving.
Soon, Wu Laoda changed his appearance and attire and left his residence.
Ji Yang had obviously planned to leave Heaven Demon City, and Wu Laoda speculated that Ji Yang was likely going to be together with that Holy Maiden of the demonic path. Without Ji Yang as his support, he could no longer appear in Heaven Demon City as his original self; otherwise, he might attract unwanted attention.
Following the small paths through the city, Wu Laoda maneuvered quickly, and soon he arrived at an isolated alley.
Upon seeing the alley before him, Wu Laoda slightly frowned.
Recalling Ji Yang’s words, he cautiously stepped into the alley.
Reaching the end of the alley, Wu Laoda was astonished to discover someone lying there. The person was undressed, yet their appearance felt extremely familiar.
When he recognized the person, Wu Laoda’s eyes widened in shock.
This person looked exactly like Ji Yang.
Wait a minute!
After some careful thought, Wu Laoda understood the reason, and his initial thoughts crumbled!
Recalling what he had done to help Ji Yang and the queries from the elder of the Heaven Demon Sect afterward, Wu Laoda broke into a cold sweat.
But after some contemplation, he couldn’t help but wonder.
With his own strength, it was impossible to keep the two unfathomably powerful elders of the Heaven Demon Sect in the dark; why had his lies not been discovered?
But no matter how it went, Wu Laoda did not dare to think too deeply. At that moment, he understood the dangerous situation he was in.
Looking at the unconscious person before him, a flash of ruthlessness appeared in Wu Laoda’s eyes.
Perhaps he should just deal with him.
After thinking for a moment, Wu Laoda decided against this reckless action.
However, the person could not be released until Ji Yang had left; he had to keep a close watch on this individual.
Soon, Wu Laoda took out the items he had prepared in advance, placed Feng Yu inside a bag, and then left the alley.
He could no longer stay in Heaven Demon City; it was better for him to leave as soon as possible.
