Qin Ye and the other two each expressed their own opinions about the Root Song Formula, explaining their thoughts, but after a while of discussion, they still couldn't reach a conclusion.
"Let's temporarily set this matter aside." At this moment, Qin Ye spoke.
"Old Brother Hu San spoke in riddles, the clues are too few. Unless we directly ask Old Brother Hu San, otherwise, it's difficult to deduce the reason in a short time."
Wang Wenqing nodded beside him, silently agreeing. At the same time, he and Qin Ye looked toward the Heavenly Bar Prison.
He said, "Old Master Hu San is still attacking, and hasn't stopped at all."
"This kind of strange condition. If it escapes from the prison, unless one's strength can completely overpower it, otherwise in a confrontation, under such tireless behavior, the victory will eventually belong to Old Master Hu San."
Old man Li Hanguang glanced over and also said, "Not only that, look at Old Master Hu San. Though he has lost his mind, it seems he still retains his most basic instincts. He knows Qin Ye is the greatest threat to him. Even after the two of us arrived, Old Master Hu San's attention has always been on Qin Ye."
During the time after reuniting with Qin Ye, Old man Li Hanguang had noticed, the direction of Old Master Hu San's attacks inside the Heavenly Bar Prison was always towards wherever Qin Ye was standing. If Qin Ye went to the left, he attacked the left side of the cage. If Qin Ye went to the right, he attacked the right side.
It was as if he would not stop until Qin Ye was dead.
Seeing this, Old man Li Hanguang smiled and added, "This is actually pretty good. At least if Old Master Hu San unexpectedly escapes, his target will be Qin Ye. No need to fear that he'll be like Black City God, who escaped the Heavenly Bar Prison and went into hiding."
During the discussion of the Root Song Formula, because of the Heavenly Bar Prison, Qin Ye and the two of them talked about Black City God, and also learned that the Heavenly Bar Prison was taken from the hands of Black City God.
"Lord Qin, have you encountered Black City God again since then?" Wang Wenqing asked in a low voice.
"We must be careful of Black City God. He has always wanted Lord Qin's life. Now that Lord Qin has Old Master Hu San, if Black City God finds out about the black liquid, he might use it to harm Lord Qin…"
The more he spoke, the more uneasy he felt.
Even though Old Master Hu San couldn't hurt Qin Ye, the black liquid could. If it infected Qin Ye, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Wang Wenqing immediately said again, "The 749 Bureau is being contacted by Old Brother Hei. Old Master Hu San is being handled by Lord Qin. I can't just sit around either. I'll return to the Shenxiao Sect right away and order people to investigate Black City God's whereabouts."
"Old man, I'll help out too."
Old man Li Hanguang raised his hand and said, "Anyway, I have nothing else to do. I'll go back and have the Maoshan Sect investigate as well."
"No time to lose, let's depart now."
This concerned Qin Ye's life. Wang Wenqing took it very seriously. Once he spoke, he immediately acted, not even giving Qin Ye a chance to speak.
When Qin Ye tried to speak, Wang Wenqing said, "Lord Qin, it's getting late. Li and I will return to our sects first. If there are any updates on Old Master Hu San, contact us by phone. If we have news of Black City God, we'll call you too."
After speaking, he dragged Old Man Li Hanguang away.
Qin Ye could only laugh and shake his head. "Xiao Wang is still so impatient. He's grown up playing with Xiao Hei since childhood. How come he hasn't learned even a bit of Xiao Hei's steadiness?"
Then, Qin Ye put away his thoughts and continued thinking of ways to treat Old Master Hu San.

Time passed quickly.
Until night fell, and the sky was dotted with stars. The night sky was brilliantly beautiful.
Qin Ye raised his head and looked at the sky.
"It's already this late, huh."
Looking at the sky, Qin Ye seemed to think of something. He stopped studying Old Master Hu San, leaped, and landed on the back of the turtle statue. With a flip of his palm, a pot of fine wine appeared in his hand.
He placed the Heavenly Bar Prison to the side.
"Old Brother Hu San, I've studied you all day and still can't figure out anything. So many brain cells died, yet you're still full of energy."
Inside the cage,Old Master Hu San was still tirelessly attacking.
Qin Ye spoke toward Old Master Hu San, "Old Brother Hu San, a thousand years have passed, and here we are reunited again."
"Back then, we said we'd reunite in a thousand years, drinking and singing under the night sky. Now the sky is still the same as that night, and though we've met again… sadly, you are no longer you."
As his voice fell, Qin Ye drank the wine in the pot, looked up at the sky, and slowly said, "Even if you're no longer you now, I will not forget this promise. A promise is a promise. Old Brother Hu San, please patiently wait a little longer. I will do everything I can to cure you and fulfill our thousand-year promise."
"Roar!" Old Master Hu San let out a spastic roar and continued attacking the Heavenly Bar Prison.
Seeing this, Qin Ye smiled. "I'll take that response as you agreeing."
That night, Qin Ye drank alone under the night sky, with the strange Old Master Hu San imprisoned beside him…
———
[Meanwhile, Daxia, above Yunnan.]
It was midnight.
Hei rode a shared electric scooter and landed from high in the sky on the street of a residential area.
"It's already this late?"
He looked at the sky, shook his head, and muttered, "Going to meet Xiaogu at this hour is a bit inappropriate. Forget it, I'll wait until morning."
Hei stretched out his hand and tapped the phone on the shared scooter, getting ready to grab a food delivery order.
Even though he was excited to see Xiaogu, Hei never forgot that Qin Ye asked him to learn more about this era, and delivering food was his way of understanding this era.
It let him witness all kinds of people. And so, Hei spent the whole night taking orders and delivering food.
[The next day, around noon.]
[Yunnan, Dali Stone – 749 Bureau Branch.]
"Miss Miao Gu, when will that Senior Hei arrive?" The branch director asked.
Miss Miao Gu had just finished a call and put down her phone.
"Said he'll be here soon."
"Where are we meeting Senior Hei? Should we book a hotel?"
"No need. Just here in the bureau. I've already shared the location. Senior Hei said he'll come directly."
As she replied, Miss Miao Gu put away her phone, picked up the tablet on the table, and began reading news about the European transcendental circles, preparing for the upcoming investigation trip to Europe for the Gate of Heaven matter.
Ever since hearing about the Gate of Heaven yesterday, especially after watching videos of it, compared to receiving Hei, eight now, Miss Miao Gu was more concerned about the Heaven incident.
After all, Old Master Hu San's situation already proved that what's happening between Heaven and the Gate of Heaven is dangerous. If not handled carefully, it would be irresponsible to her own life.
At this time, Miss Miao Gu browsed the latest news from Europe, her expression turning serious.
"All witnesses from that day in the church were infected with black liquid. Except the church priest who didn't die suddenly, he's currently imprisoned in the Vatican. All other witnesses are dead."
She softly read the tablet's content and murmured. "That priest actually didn't die? Pity we didn't arrive sooner. If we had, maybe we could've questioned him before full infection about what he saw at the Gate of Heaven."
"But from the looks of it, we still have to go to the Vatican as soon as possible." Lady Miao Gu muttered to herself, continuing to check other foreign news.
