Chapter 249 Being Cheated
After Yang Rongrong had absorbed all the memories, she drew the spiritual power back from Hu Qingbai's soul.

Then everyone saw Hu Qingbai's soul begin to dissipate, and soon it completely disappeared from the world.

Hengye was about to ask what was going on, but before he could open his mouth, Yang Rongrong had already bent down, grabbed Hu Qingbai's fox tail, and roughly turned him over.

Her eyes swept over Hu Qingbai from head to toe, finally landing on the jade pendant hanging around his neck.

She reached out and pulled off the jade pendant, stroking the surface of the pendant with her fingertips, and felt the power of restriction from it. It seemed that this was a storage magic weapon.

The grade of this magical weapon should be very high, and the restrictions are also very strong. Even if the owner has died, the restrictions can still continue to operate.

Yang Rongrong raised her eyes to look at Luo Luo, shook the jade pendant in her hand and asked.

"Can this thing be broken open by force?"

Luo Luo runs Wanbao Building and has seen many rare treasures. He took the jade pendant and observed it carefully, saying, "This restriction is very special. If you try to break it by force, it may cause it to self-destruct."

Yang Rongrong frowned. Once the restriction self-destructed, it would mean that the items stored in the jade pendant would also be destroyed.

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn’t have let Hu Qingbai die so quickly.

Now that the person is dead, the restriction in the jade pendant cannot be opened normally. If the restriction is broken forcibly, the items stored in the jade pendant may be damaged. It's really troublesome!
Hengye suddenly said, "Let me try."

Yang Rongrong looked at him in surprise: "Can you do it?"

If it were in the past, the young Hengye would have said proudly that he would have no problem, but after going through so many things, he has now grown up and finally understood that nothing is absolute in the world, so he just replied with restraint -

“Just trying it out.”

Anyway, there was no other way now, so Yang Rongrong handed him the jade pendant with the attitude of giving it a try.

Heng Ye pinched the jade pendant, first examining it carefully for a moment, then narrowed his eyes slightly, a faint demonic aura overflowed from his fingertips and penetrated into the jade pendant.

The originally ordinary jade pendant suddenly emitted a light purple light.

Yang Rongrong stared at the jade pendant without blinking, her eyes full of anticipation.

No one knew what Hengye did. After a moment, everyone suddenly heard him say, "It's OK."

He handed the jade pendant back to Yang Rongrong.

Yang Rongrong took the jade pendant doubtfully. Is that all? Is it that simple?

She tried to input her spiritual power into the jade pendant, and then she found that the restrictions in the jade pendant had disappeared. Her spiritual power flowed into the jade pendant unimpeded, and she could see the items stored in it at a glance.

Yang Rongrong couldn't help but look happy.

Seeing her reaction, Luo Luo knew that the restriction must have been opened. He was very curious, so he humbly asked Heng Ye for advice.

"How did you open the ban?"

Hengye thought it was not a difficult task, and said casually: "I disguised my demonic aura to look like Hu Qingbai and deceived the restriction. After the restriction was opened, I erased it from the inside."

It sounds simple, but Luo Luo knows that it is not simple at all!
The demonic aura of each demon cultivator is different, and it is almost impossible to completely disguise oneself as another demon cultivator.

But Hengye did it.

Luo Luo couldn't help but smack his lips: "Are you some kind of monster?"

Hengye stared at Luo Luo with his dark golden animal eyes. Luo Luo immediately raised his hands: "Don't look at me like that, I'm praising you for being awesome, I really mean it!"

Yang Rongrong's spiritual consciousness entered the storage space inside the jade pendant. She did not look at the treasures, but locked onto the scroll at a glance and took it out of the jade pendant without hesitation.

She opened the scroll in a flash, and it was indeed a portrait of a nine-tailed fox!

Seeing that she was staring at the portrait intently, as if her eyes wanted to penetrate the portrait, Luo Luo couldn't help but ask.

“Is there anything wrong with this portrait?”

Yang Rongrong's eyes did not move away from the portrait, and she said quickly: "Hu Qingbai once saw the nine-tailed fox in the portrait come to life. He thought it was the spirit of the ancestor, so he obeyed the ancestor's words."

Luo Luo was very surprised: "There is such a strange thing?"

Hengye's focus was different from Luo Luo's. He asked in a deep voice, "Did this ancestor instruct Hu Qingbai to murder you?"

Yang Rongrong nodded: "Yes, the elixir that can greatly improve Hu Qingbai's cultivation in a short period of time was also given by the ancestor in the painting."

Hearing this, Hu Tianyin couldn't help but move closer, staring at the nine-tailed fox in the portrait with a pair of beautiful big eyes, with an expression of undisguised surprise on her face.

She even whispered, "Ancestor, is it really you who appeared?"

These words caused everyone present to look at her sideways, their expressions were indescribable.

Hu Tianyin felt a little embarrassed when being looked at.

She laughed awkwardly twice: "Haha, I was just curious and tried it casually. In fact, I don't believe that this portrait can show its power. Hu Qingbai must have been deceived."

Unexpectedly, Yang Rongrong said, "He may not have been deceived."

Hu Tianyin was stunned, looking at a loss: "Ah?"

Yang Rongrong had a complicated expression: "Fox demons are very cunning by nature, not to mention that Hu Qingbai is a powerful fox demon who has lived for thousands of years. His brain must be much smarter than ordinary cultivators. Moreover, he is a descendant of the nine-tailed fox and has the blood of the nine-tailed fox. He must know much more about the nine-tailed fox than outsiders. It is almost impossible to deceive him by using the identity of the nine-tailed fox, unless..."

Hu Tianyin couldn't help but continue her words.

"Unless, it's really the nine-tailed fox that appears."

Only in this way can Hu Qingbai obey his orders.

Hu Tianyin felt her heart beating faster. She looked at the nine-tailed fox in the portrait again, and her eyes were involuntarily filled with a bit of eagerness.

With the protection of the nine-tailed fox, the fox demon clan will surely become more prosperous.

Her fingertips were trembling with excitement. "Since our ancestor possessed the portrait, can you return it to us?"

Yang Rongrong glanced at her and asked instead of answering, "If it was really your ancestor, the nine-tailed fox, who appeared in spirit, why would it go to such lengths to murder me? I have never met it and have no grudges against it, so what is its intention?"

Hu Tianyin was stunned again, completely unable to answer.

After a while, she said awkwardly, "Didn't you say that our ancestor appeared? Since he is our ancestor, we must worship him well."

Yang Rongrong's expression was ambiguous: "Even if your ancestor really showed up, it doesn't mean it must be awake. If it is possessed by some evil thing and becomes insane and hurts people everywhere, you still want to worship it. Aren't you afraid that the evil thing will take the opportunity to persecute your fox demon clan?"

Hu Tianyin was speechless.

She was so excited that she didn't expect this to be possible.
