Dragon's Origin

Chapter 196 I Can't Die (Part 2)

Everything was decided by Song Yan herself; Song Hongde never said a word. Therefore, from the moment Song Yan left, Song Hongde fell into a dilemma.

On one hand, Song Hongde was unwilling for his daughter to bow her head to the enemy he recognized for his sake. Song Hongde knew very well that Song Yan's going would probably be more than just bowing her head. It could even be said that she was willingly offering herself up to be trampled on. For the proud and arrogant Song Yan, even if she was facing Wang Sheng, she would feel it was an insult.

On the other hand, Song Hongde hoped that Song Yan could find a way. Even if it couldn't cure him completely, as long as it could buy him ten years, Song Hongde would have the opportunity to realize his long-held ambitions.

After watching Song Yan leave, Song Hongde turned his gaze back to the jade bottle he had been holding in his hand. This jade bottle was very small and could only hold a few pills, but the pills inside could immediately allow Song Hongde to escape his current situation and become the Song family head who once dominated the world again.

However, nothing is without a price. The consequence of taking this kind of pill is that if Song Hongde originally had twenty years of life left lying in bed and recuperating, then after taking the medicine, he would only have a maximum of one year left.

Yes, this is a highly toxic drug, refined by a poison master whom Song Hongde trusted extremely. But this kind of highly toxic drug does not immediately take a person's life, but instead stimulates a person's potential while damaging their lifespan, allowing the person taking the medicine to maintain their peak strength in a short period of time.

Fight poison with poison? Somewhat. Taking this poison will have more serious consequences, but it can bring Song Hongde at least one year of peak condition, allowing him to handle everything he wants to do in this year.

Song Hongde was hesitating. His daughter put down her dignity, face, and everything else, perhaps to beg for a life-extending remedy for him, but Song Hongde also knew very well that at most it would only be life extension, and there would be no better way to detoxify.

Not to mention that this toxicity is a chronic poison that has accumulated over decades, just based on his understanding of Wang Sheng during this period, he also knew that Wang Sheng was by no means a generous person. Wang Sheng would never easily let go of those who had hunted him down.

Don't look at Wang Sheng now seemingly having interactions with various forces, barely considered peaceful. But, where are those people who were sent out by the major forces to hunt down Wang Sheng back then?

Almost everyone who tried to attack Wang Sheng is now a corpse. Under these circumstances, is Wang Sheng using the secret of publicly upgrading the Yuanhun(元魂: primordial spirit) in Qianjuedi(千绝地: Thousand Absolute Land) to ensure safety really a victory for the major families?

In the past, I really hadn't thought so much. Listening to Song Laoyu(宋老鱼: Song Laoyu, a name) and the others talk about Wang Sheng's experiences, I only felt that this guy had created many miracles. Only after someone had thoroughly investigated it did I realize how terrifying this young man was.

Song Hongde now felt very regretful in his heart. He was too hasty in his actions and should have understood more before deciding whether to take action. If he could have held back at that time, where would he need such embarrassment now?

His daughter's dignity and his own life, or rather, his own ambitions, Song Hongde looked at the jade bottle in his hand, falling into a difficult choice.

When Song Yan went to Worry-Free City again, it wasn't just Song Laoyu accompanying her; there were at least four female experts around her, each with a cultivation level no lower than the seventh level. Having suffered so much grievance in the Song family for so many years, now that Song Hongde has returned, he naturally doesn't want his daughter to suffer anymore and wants her to be the real Miss Song.

Only two days after leaving the Song family manor, several people galloped on horseback, but they were still within the Song family's territory. Song Yan was a little irritable, constantly whipping her horse, seemingly wanting to reach Worry-Free City sooner.

Suddenly, the galloping horse beneath her stumbled, its entire body seeming to be tripped, flying forward for a distance, and then its head slammed heavily on the ground.

Song Yan on the horse swayed, already soaring from the horse's back, her toes tapping on the saddle, and she leaped high. Just as a female expert behind her caught up on horseback, Song Yan lightly landed on her horse's back.

The remaining people all reined in their horses, and the four female bodyguards swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh, sound of movement, quickly occupied the four directions, vigilantly looking around.

It seemed that there was no movement, and no one was here at all. After a period of tension, the four female bodyguards began to check the cause of the horse's fall.

There was a deep pit on the ground, the size of a bowl, more than a foot deep. As long as a galloping horse stepped into it, its legs would be immediately restrained. The inertia and weight of the forward rush would instantly break the horse's legs. This is the famous horse trap.

There was also camouflage above the small pit. Not to mention that the horse couldn't see it, even people on the horse wouldn't be able to see it at such a fast speed. It might have been intentionally aimed at Song Yan, or it might have been naturally formed; no one could say for sure.

The horse's leg was broken, and this horse was already useless. There was no one around, and no one could judge whether it was aimed at Song Yan and her group.

There was no way, although they were missing a horse, they still had to hurry on. Song Yan thought for a while and asked Song Laoyu to stay behind. He was the only man, and the others were all women, and Song Laoyu was also slightly embarrassed. At the same time, Song Laoyu was also the one with the lowest cultivation among the group. Sometimes, Song Laoyu would also feel uncomfortable, so she simply let him go back.

The five people set off again, but before they had gone far, dozens of miles away, there was another accident. This time, it was no longer a horse trap but a tripping rope.

At this moment, everyone knew that someone was targeting Song Yan. It was even possible that the other party knew that Song Yan was surrounded by experts, so they didn't show themselves, but simply used this method to delay her actions.

Instantly, Song Yan understood that there must be a traitor in the Song family manor who had leaked Song Yan's whereabouts and purpose. They didn't want Song Yan to succeed; their real purpose was to take Song Hongde's life.

Who it was no longer mattered. None of the forces outside the Song family wanted to see the Song family rise strongly, so any of them were possible. It was only because they were currently within the Song family's territory that they could only attack so secretly. Once they left the Song family, Song Yan believed that the five of them would be subjected to a powerful assassination.

Song Yan frowned, deciding to continue on her way. Although the road ahead was still very dangerous, her father's life was more important.

Regardless, they rode quickly for half a day, and suddenly several experts sent by Song Hongde to stabilize the Song family appeared ahead. They had received a message from the Song family manor via messenger bird, waiting for Song Yan here, asking Song Yan to return, saying that the clan leader had something to instruct.

After verifying the authenticity of the order, Song Yan quickly returned to the Song family manor with her bodyguards. As soon as she returned, she saw the energetic Song Hongde, his face full of radiance, waiting for her return.

"I will not die." Upon meeting, Song Hongde gave Song Yan a guarantee: "My daughter, does not need to bow her head to anyone!"
