C61 He Used the Same Trick
chapter 60.
The sun rose from the east. Gai Yin had not slept the entire night. There were two Profound Restriction numbers given by the Gai family that could be used to unlock the sixth shackle. Adding the four that he found in Mr. Xiao's house and Yuu Zifei's, Gai Yin had a total of seven Profound Restriction that could be used to unlock the sixth shackle.
However, because Gai Yin had used nine Profound Restriction to unlock the fifth shackle, he knew very well that to unlock the sixth shackle, he needed eleven Profound Restriction numbers.
He still needed four more Profound Restriction. Gai Yin was looking forward to the Luo family or Wu family giving him enough Profound Restriction to unlock the sixth shackle.
Someone knocked on the door, and Gai Yun's voice rang out, "Brother, the master of Luo family and the master of Wu family are waiting for you in the main hall."
Gai Yin stood up and opened the door. Then, he followed Gai Yun into the main hall.
Wu Bieyun and Luo Xingkong looked at each other. Both of them nodded and smiled knowingly.
This morning, the brothel in West City, Full Spring Tower, was closed. No one knew the reason. However, last night, someone had seen the head of Wu family, Wu Bieyun, enter Full Spring Tower.
Luo Xingkong remembered what Wu Bieyun said when he first came to Gai family.
"Last night,i personally went to the Full Spring Tower. Humph, Soong Junya confessed to my torture."
Although Luo Xingkong felt that it was within his expectations, he was still somewhat surprised. Gai Yin's scam had really deceived the people of Burning Sword City.
Luo Xingkong asked, Tell me, who is the girl who played Cang Mangzi?
Wu Bieyun laughed lightly. It was the leading girl of Full Spring Tower,zi Yu. She had just arrived in Burning Sword City not long ago, and because of her peerless appearance, she became the leading girl of Full Spring Tower. However, Soong Junya was greedy for her beauty, so he hid under the covers, so no one knew about her. At the critical moment, Gai Yin had used her to pretend to be Cang Mangzi.
There was one more thing that Luo Xingkong didn't understand. He asked curiously. "What's the matter with that sword?"
"This is indeed suspicious, but think about it... That sword flew down from our blind spot. Only Gai Yin knew who controlled that sword. After that, he met Cang Mangzi. Cang Mangzi didn't attack once. I wanted to force her to prove herself. Who knew that idiot Zheng Konglan would come and ruin my plan? In the end, Mr. Xiao arrived. He appraised the Profound Forbidden Scroll for real. We can only trust Gai Yin."
"That's why I think that the flying sword is a trick to fool people. Otherwise, why didn't Cang Mangzi use this trick again? As for Gai Yin's Profound Forbidden Scroll, it should be a fortuitous encounter for him. Since it was a fortuitous encounter,i think it was because he cultivated the Profound Restriction on the Profound Forbidden Scroll that he became a cultivator."
This was the conclusion Wu Bieyun came to after thinking for a night. Apart from the flying sword, everything else was perfectly explained by Wu Bieyun.
Luo Xingkong nodded. He believed Wu Bieyun's deduction.
Wu Bieyun continued, "So we have to act and pretend that we don't know anything. Maybe we can dig out more secrets from Gai Yin and grasp more of his weaknesses. When the time comes, we can wipe him out in one fell swoop. With the Gai family, wouldn't it be a win-win situation?"
Luo Xingkong and Wu Bieyun's plan was very clever. Although most of their conclusions were wrong, it didn't affect the conclusion of Cang Mangzi. They wanted to use the same trick to get a deeper understanding of Gai Yin. Then, they could seize the opportunity when Gai Yin was unprepared and take down Gai Yin in one fell swoop. At the same time, they could also take down the Gai family at the smallest price possible.
Gai Yin had appeared. The time for Luo Xingkong and Wu Bieyun to act had begun.
"The two patriarchs are indeed very trustworthy. Your master isn't disappointed." Gai Yin smiled and went forward to greet them. He looked at Luo Xingkong and Wu Bieyun.
Wu Bieyun and Luo Xingkong were very respectful and answered, "How dare you break your promise by making a deal with Cang Mangzi? This is the number of Profound Restriction we brought, please take a look."
After saying that, Wu Bieyun took out the number of Profound Restriction in his arms. There were sixteen Profound Restriction in total. Gai Yin took the Profound Restriction and roughly scanned it. He glanced at it, nodded his head, and then looked at Luo Xingkong.
Luo Xingkong also took out the number of Profound Restriction he had brought out from the Luo Palace. There were a total of 15 Profound Restriction.
Both of them handed all the numbers to Gai Yin. Gai Yin smiled and nodded his head. He said, "Both of you keep your promises. Your master is very happy. I will accept these numbers first. Please return to your families."
Wu Bieyun and Luo Xingkong looked at each other. Wu Bieyun was the first to speak. He asked, "Second young master Gai, this isn't good. You haven't given us the second half of the Profound Forbidden Scroll yet."
Gai Yin glanced at Wu Bieyun and replied, "There's no hurry. Master has said that the second half of the Profound Forbidden Scroll will be presented together with the repaired Profound Restriction."
"Oh? Then how long will it take for Cang Mangzi to repair these numbers?" Luo Xingkong asked.
Gai Yin thought for a moment and said with a smile. "At most three days. How about coming to the Gai Manor to get it in three days?"
"Oh, after the Five City Banquet? That's fine too." Wu Bieyun smiled and nodded his head.
Gai Yin also nodded.
"We are very happy to make a deal with Cang Mangzi. We will take our leave now. See you in three days." Luo Xingkong smiled mysteriously, then left the mansion with Wu Bieyun.
Gai Yin didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the two of them. He only felt that the two of them seemed more relaxed compared to yesterday. Gai Yin thought that they must have experienced the storm yesterday, which made them seem more relaxed today.
Holding the number 31 Profound Restriction, Gai Yin once again returned to his room. He began to filter out these numbers of Profound Restriction.
"31 Profound Restriction, not bad. I should be able to gather 11 numbers to unlock the sixth shackle."
In the room, Yuu Zifei had woken up. She was full of energy and her face was rosy. Looking at Gai Yin's excited look, she smiled and said, "Now I can use my divine ability to communicate with my sword."
Gai Yin looked at Yuu Zifei and asked, "Oh? How do you feel about strength?"
Yuu Zifei thought for a while and said, "It should be enough to defeat any cultivator who has unlocked ten shackles."
Gai Yin did not feel surprised. He nodded. Yuu Zifei was a strong person before. With the foundation of a strong person and a good sword, defeating a cultivator who had unlocked ten shackles in his body was not surprising.
Gai Yin also smiled. "That's good. I think I can gather the number of Profound Restriction that unlocked the sixth shackle."
Gai Yin started to filter the numbers. About fifteen minutes later, he frowned and shook his head. "This is... too much of a coincidence."
Only ten Profound Restriction were useful to Gai Yin out of the sixteen Profound Restriction in Wu family. The other five were used to break the first five shackles. Only one of the remaining ten was used to break the sixth shackle.
The number of Profound Restriction in Luo family was not bad. Eleven of them were useful to Gai Yin, but only two were used to unlock the sixth shackle.
Adding the seven Profound Restriction he had mastered before, there were only ten Profound Restriction that could be used to unlock the sixth shackle. This made Gai Yin feel helpless. After collecting for half a day, he still needed another Profound Restriction.
Gai Yin sighed and shook his head. Since he didn't collect it, he had to make a trip to West City. He thought that he should be able to find an incomplete digit Profound Restriction in West City to unlock the sixth shackle.
Just as he was about to get up,gai Yun knocked on Gai Yin's door again. A voice came, "Brother, there is a Luo family member called Luo Xing who wants to see you. He said he has something urgent to tell you."
