Chapter 710: Chapter 292: White Dew Gu’s Open Plot, Long Mountain’s Advance
“The Holy Sun Pill?”
On the top floor of the Wushuang Main Building, Xia Hong, seated at the head position, slightly narrowed his eyes.
Below, Yuwen Dao continued, “It’s called the Holy Sun Pill. I have interrogated nine people separately. Li Yuanqing was the first to confess. He said this Holy Sun Pill was brought back by his father, Li Xuantian, from Yangyuan Peak. It’s a Cold Resistance Level cultivation Holy Item, its effects surpassing the Jade Bone Medicine by dozens of times. Many in Long Mountain have consumed it.
Zhaoyang is similar according to the confessions of Hou Ming and Wang Lie. Hou Hu was determined to join Long Mountain after taking the Holy Sun Pill given by Li Xuantian.”
“So, the reason for the recent surge in strength of these two families’ Cold Resistance Level is entirely due to this Holy Sun Pill. Do they have any extra Holy Sun Pills on them?”
Yuwen Dao shook his head and said, “All have been searched, there’s none.”
Indeed, such a precious Dan Medicine must be limited in quantity. Once distributed, it’s probably used for cultivation right away. Who would keep it on them?
Yuwen Dao thought of something and continued to report, “I just tested them with Solidified Fire Oil, and nothing happened to the nine of them.”
Upon hearing this, Xia Hong nodded slightly, his expression growing more serious.
The reason for the significant enhancement in the Cold Resistance Level of Long Mountain and Zhaoyang is the Holy Sun Pill.
And this Holy Sun Pill was brought back by Li Xuantiang, who escaped from Yangyuan Peak alive. It’s no surprise that Li Xuantiang is inevitably connected with the White Dew Gu.
As for why Solidified Fire Oil couldn’t reveal any problems, that’s quite normal.
Long Mountain does have Solidified Fire Oil, and Li Xuanling is not foolish.
According to the messages from Li Hu and Yang Zhong in May, after Li Xuantiang’s group escaped back from Yangyuan Peak, Li Xuanling had them stay outside the camp for seven days. Various methods were used to test them before confirming there was no issue and allowing them in.
This message is enough to explain that Li Xuanling holds an extremely cautious attitude towards Li Xuantiang. It’s just that the White Dew Gu’s methods are becoming more advanced, so much so that even Solidified Fire Oil and silver can’t reveal it anymore.
“There is definitely a problem with this Holy Sun Pill, and more with Li Xuantiang. It seems Li Xuanling and the people of Long Mountain have all been deceived by that White Dew Gu.”
The first to doubt that the White Dew Gu wasn’t dead was Yuwen Dao, and as one of the witnesses of the Yangyuan Peak incident, he remained most wary of the White Dew Gu, making this judgment directly.
Unexpectedly, Xia Hong immediately refuted his words.
“I can confirm that the nine people who consumed the Holy Sun Pill have no issues. They do have Dewdrop Plague within them, but it won’t spread to others. Moreover, even after the dewdrops are cleared, their strength won’t decline.”
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Dao’s expression suddenly tightened.
He certainly didn’t doubt Xia Hong’s words. Small fire torches and Solidified Fire Oil, both materials with strong restraining effects on deceitful monsters, are produced by the Cold Ruins Tripod, whose owner is Xia Hong. Therefore, Xia Hong must have some basis for making this judgment.
But if the Holy Sun Pill is without issue, then why would Li Xuantiang or the White Dew Gu manipulating him, bring it out for the Cold Resistance Level of Long Mountain and Zhaoyang? The idea that a deceitful monster is helping humans enhance their strength is very…
Yuwen Dao suddenly realized, and his face changed dramatically as he exclaimed, “Leader, are you saying that the White Dew Gu is enhancing the Cold Resistance Level strength of both families specifically to deal with us, the Great Xia?”
Xia Hong nodded directly and sneered, “Otherwise, how did the two families, previously at each other’s throats, quickly reconcile and ally? As a normal person, if you had such a Spirit Pill like the Holy Sun Pill, would you share it with the people in the camp? Those 800 sets of Hundred Forged Level armor are clearly prepared for warfare.”
Yuwen Dao bowed his head in thought for a moment, and with the information Xia Hong brought back from Yanglu Forbidden Land three days ago, he suddenly realized it all.
“As the leader said, the White Dew Gu summoned a massive number of Cold Beasts, turning the entire Yanglu area into a forbidden zone, to protect its true form. This at least explains two points: First, it cannot leave Yangyuan Peak to freely roam outside yet; Second, it’s not in an invincible state right now and is very afraid of anyone approaching Yangyuan Peak…”
Yuwen Dao paused for a moment, unraveling the complexities and continued, “That White Dew Gu has already witnessed Solidified Fire Oil, and it might even know about the Cold Ruins Tripod. Moreover, the Wu Xiong it previously controlled was killed by you, leader, in Hanqiong Gourd Valley.
It knows very well that the only threat to it in the entire Longyou is the Great Xia. But since it can’t come out itself, it can only control Long Mountain and Zhaoyang from behind the scenes to go against us. Using the Yangyuan Pill not only helps enhance the Cold Resistance Level strength of the two families to oppose us, but it can also use this to win people’s hearts and control both families.”
After listening to Yuwen Dao’s insightful analysis, Xia Hong did not hide his appreciation at all, turning to continue adding, “The White Dew Gu is definitely still afraid of Solidified Fire Oil, so it doesn’t dare to recklessly spread the Dewdrop Plague foolishly. It can only utilize Long Mountain and Zhaoyang, both human, to first target us.”
Unable to hold back, Yuwen Dao immediately said, “Leader, we must go and inform Li Xuanling at once, to prevent falling into the conspiracy of the White Dew Gu!”
“Do you think Li Xuanling is that foolish? Are all people of Long Mountain muddle-headed, with no one clever?”
Yuwen Dao’s expression froze for a moment, after understanding the reasoning, his expression immediately became much more somber, softly saying, “This White Dew Gu, such deep scheming…”
This is not a conspiracy, but a perfectly executed open plot!
The White Dew Gu is well aware that Long Mountain must deal with the Great Xia, using the Holy Sun Pill as the bait. Even if Li Xuanling suspects something, he can only temporarily follow along with its plans, joining forces with Zhaoyang to deal with the Great Xia together.
