Chapter 808: Chapter 591: Wang Yang’s Scheme, Luring the Snake Out of Its Hole_2

At the southern gate of Donglin Valley, there is an underground palace, isolated by a powerful sealing force, yet even from the outside, one can smell a rich medicinal fragrance!

And above the southern gate, four large characters are inscribed: "Hundred Herbs Medicine Sect!"

The Hundred Herbs Medicine Sect was a holy land for alchemy in Ancient Times, with its headquarters located in the Southern Territory. This means that the one appearing in the Northern Territories is merely a branch!

But even so, it is enough to drive people crazy!

One must know that the elixir formulas of Ancient Times have long been lost, and the efficacy of elixirs in the present day is not even a tenth of those from Ancient Times!

Moreover, these elixirs contain the purest spiritual power, even the Great Dao Law. Consuming and refining them might help break through shackles and transcend realms!

When the news first arrived, some people did not believe it. After all, a thousand years have passed, and the spiritual herb elixirs should have long weathered away and become ineffective.

But at the entrance to the underground palace ruins, a Yin Yang Sealing Grand Formation made everyone excited!

The presence of a sealing grand formation indicates that the spiritual herb elixirs inside might be perfectly preserved, or else such a strong medicinal fragrance wouldn’t spread after millenniums!

The fragrance spreads for ten miles!

"Is the news true?"

In the Eastern Mansion of the Royal House, the steward knelt on one knee. Before him stood a man, dressed in luxurious clothing, with an extraordinary temperament, and a striking resemblance to Wang Siyun.

"Replying to the Heir’s question, it’s indeed accurate! I have personally investigated, and there is indeed an entrance to the underground palace ruins with a Yin Yang Sealing Grand Formation, and the medicinal fragrance spreads for ten miles around!"

"The southern side of Donglin Valley is said to be occupied by a pack of Snow Wolves, with their Wolf King having condensed a true body, reaching the True One Realm. How did this news get out?"

The Great Heir Wang Hao was still somewhat puzzled. The news appeared too abruptly, like a stone suddenly thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Yet where this stone came from, no one knew!

The South Side is guarded by a True One Realm Wolf King, and numerous attempts by the Human Race to infiltrate have been thwarted by the wolves, who never act alone and always appear as a pack!

This wolf pack is very powerful, not to mention the True One Realm Wolf King Mo Lang, whose capabilities are unrivaled. In his pack, there are also multiple Earth Immortal Snow Wolves.

If that were all, it wouldn’t be enough to deter the Human Race. The key is that the wolf pack can form a grand formation, a defensive and offensive formation akin to military strategies!

This formation is almost impenetrable because of the strict discipline within the pack, and the Wolf King’s absolute dominance!

"It is said that the medicinal fragrance from the underground palace ruins spread over ten miles, attracting many Great Demons from Donglin Valley to investigate. Mo Lang likely backed down, considering the intelligence of the Wolf Tribe is not much inferior to our Human Race!"

The steward organized the information in his Sea of Consciousness and provided an explanation. Wang Hao nodded; if the medicinal fragrance attracted the demon beasts in Donglin Valley, everything seemed to make sense.

However, Wang Hao felt that something was off, a problem he couldn’t yet identify.

"Heir, now that the prestigious nobility, including the Han Family, has taken action, should we also...?"

"Watch and wait!"

Wang Hao shook his head. He needed to discuss this matter with Wang Ru. Acting rashly could lead to entrapment.

"Heir, the lady requests an audience!"

"Let her in! You may leave now!"

Wang Hao rubbed his temples, gesturing for the steward to leave. As the steward left, a woman entered the study, walked to Wang Hao’s back, and gently placed her hands on his shoulders.

"What’s the matter?"

Wang Hao closed his eyes, enjoying the moment, and calmly asked. The young woman, the Heir’s Consort Han Dan, chuckled softly.

"Has the Heir heard about the Hundred Herbs Medicine Sect ruins?"

"Yes!"

"The family sent a message saying the Yin Yang Sealing Grand Formation at the entrance dates back to Ancient Times. You know, my Han Family’s Tyrant Blade might have strength, but breaking formations requires someone proficient in formation techniques!"

"I remember there is a family among the prestigious nobility that is skilled in array and barrier techniques. What was it? Oh, the Thousand Hands Wei Family!"

"Heir, how could the Wei Family break an Ancient Formation?"

Han Dan softly replied. While the Thousand Hands Wei Family might be skilled in array and barrier techniques, the formation patterns in Ancient Formations are incredibly complex, far beyond contemporary formations.

"Are you suggesting I break the formation?"

Wang Hao asked back. Han Dan nodded slightly. The Han Family, being the head of prestigious nobility, needed the help of these families since they couldn’t break the sealing grand formation by themselves.

It was common knowledge that the Great Heir Wang Hao had studied Ancient Formations deeply since childhood and was extremely skilled, and the Heir’s Consort was from the Han Family. How could this relationship not be used?

"I’m also thinking of the Heir. Your cultivation level is stuck at the True One Realm, unable to advance. This is an opportunity, with both an Ancient Formation to break and Ancient Elixirs to refine, surely enabling a breakthrough to the celestial Immortal Realm!"

"I need to consider this. You may leave now!"

Wang Hao did not immediately agree, but Han Dan’s words indeed tempted him.

His younger brother Wang Yun had already broken through to the celestial Immortal Realm and commanded the most elite force of Ice Cold City, the Ice-breaking Wolf Riders. Though he never involved himself in the Royal Palace’s affairs, it was ultimately a world where strength ruled.

In other words, for Wang Yun to inherit the Prince’s title, Wang Hao must die!

This was why Wang Hao risked allying with the Demon Clan, looking for an opportunity to eliminate Wang Yun, the only threat.

After all, Princess Consort Zhang Yun’s influence within the Jinshi Zhang Family had been completely purged. The Zhang Family was now entirely under Zhang Siyuan’s control!

Without the support of the Jinshi Zhang Family, it was like losing his left arm. And the one who personally severed it was none other than his father, the Guardian Sun King, who never concerned himself with affairs yet had everything under control.

Wang Siyun!

This made Wang Hao fearful. His father’s actions undoubtedly served as a warning to him!

But the arrow is on the bowstring, and it must be released. As long as Wang Yun dies, the only one eligible to inherit the Prince’s title would be himself!

Even with the support of the Jinshi Zhang Family, the Tyrant Blade Han Family, and the entire Ice Cold City’s prestigious nobility, he still did not have control of the strongest military power!

Wang Hao knew this was Wang Siyun’s way of maintaining balance, but he felt indignant!

As the Great Heir, born of Princess Consort Zhang Yun, the Prince’s title rightfully belonged to him. But why was the most important military power in his younger brother’s hands?

Without military power, everything was in vain. With twenty thousand Ice-breaking Wolf Riders, they could easily conquer not just an Ice Cold City but the entire Northern Territories.

They were the strongest cavalry, only the Five Tigers Generals in the Kingdom could match!

Therefore, he must break through to the celestial Immortal Realm to show Wang Siyun that he is no weaker than his younger brother!

Only in the celestial Immortal Realm could Wang Hao have the leverage to demand control of the Ice-breaking Wolf Riders from Wang Siyun!

After all, the Seven Stars Commander of the Wolf Cavalry were all in the celestial Immortal Realm!

"What troubles you, big brother?"

"Why not tell your little sister?"

At this moment, a familiar voice came from outside the door. Wang Hao smiled, the gloom in his heart dissipated, and he teasingly said, "What brings you to the Eastern Mansion today, little sister?"

"Naturally, I missed you, big brother!"

Wang Ru stepped into the study, and Wang Hao rose to greet her, instructing all the servants to leave before asking her.

"Are you here to persuade me to break the formation too?"

Wang Hao asked, half-jokingly.

"Too?"

Wang Ru frowned. Upon hearing the news, she had rushed over immediately. From Wang Hao’s words, it seemed someone had already suggested this idea!

"Han Dan just came to see me, hoping I would break the formation to solve the Han Family’s predicament. Of course, it’s all for the Ancient Elixirs within the Hundred Herbs Medicine Sect!"

After hearing Wang Hao’s explanation, Wang Ru nodded slowly, her lips curling into a smile as she asked with interest.

"Did you agree with your wife?"

"Not yet!"

"What are you still hesitating about, big brother?"
