Chapter 2578 Begging in the Street
“The ancestral land of the Yu family is not to be trodden by outsiders.” Yu Qingning’s expression softened as she said gently, “I will have him come to see you.”
"Thank you, senior."
Not long after.
A man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes rode a ferocious beast and came flying through the sky. He was imposing and dignified, and his gaze went straight to Yu Qingning: "Fourth Sister, I heard that someone from the Immortal Prison has come. I wonder which one of them wants to investigate me."
Done.
He slowly turned his gaze to the two of them and calmly asked, "You two?"
"Fellow Daoist Yu, do you know Hua Chen?" Ruan Lingchen cupped his hands and got straight to the point.
"I know him." Yu Yi stepped onto his ferocious beast, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the distant mountains and rivers. "So what?"
“A hundred years ago, he died from a qi deviation.”
"I know."
Yu Yi remained calm. "He was too weak and too anxious. It's not surprising that he suffered a qi deviation during his cultivation."
"The business of the Thousand Tribulations Immortal Vein must have been entrusted to him by Fellow Daoist Yu."
"Just some small business I do in my spare time, is there a problem?"
“We found some clues in Tian Shu. His business dealings with Qian Yuan Immortal Domain and Zi Fu Immortal Domain are obviously a bit abnormal. They are too low for the price set by the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance in the Immortal Realm. Moreover, we have been to his hometown. He is a man of great loyalty and righteousness.”
Upon hearing them mention Hua Chen's hometown, a barely perceptible hint of surprise flashed in Yu Yi's eyes. He calmly replied, "He is merely one of my followers, not my retainer. I know nothing else about him."
Soon, they moved on to asking about other things.
The two sides exchanged questions and answers at a very fast pace, seemingly without much thought.
Ruan Lingchen's questions became increasingly pointed, while Yu Yi's answers were watertight, sounding as if they had absolutely nothing to do with him.
One hour later.
The two clasped their hands in greeting. At that moment, Yu Qingning unexpectedly opened a spatial passage in front of them, instantly causing the latter's expression to become quite interesting. "So it existed..."
Seeing them off like this, they dared not linger.
The mountains and fields became quiet.
"Ninth Brother, what exactly happened?"
Yu Qingning's peaceful expression vanished, and her gaze suddenly turned somewhat cold and sharp. "If you don't explain clearly, then I'll take you to your grandfather's place. At that time, you probably won't be able to hide anything from him."
"Fourth Sister!"
Upon hearing his grandfather's name, Yu Yi's calm and composed expression turned panicked. However, he also knew that his fourth sister had stopped them here because she didn't want the matter to spread to the family. Otherwise, if things couldn't be explained, it would be a huge problem.
"explain."
Yu Qingning waved her sleeves and sat down with an elegant demeanor, but her expression was very unpleasant. "In recent years, the family had no idea that you had been doing so much business. What are you planning to do? Start your own business?"
"Fourth Sister, I only learned some information from a fellow Daoist outside, and it's definitely not as serious as you imagine!"
"Which fellow Daoist are you, and what news do you have?"
"Qingxuan, fellow Daoist from the Tian family."
Yu Yi lowered his head, his demeanor completely different from before. He stammered, "Rumor has it that Henggu is currently exploring the void, investing countless rare and precious materials, and in the future, there may be an opportunity for a Celestial Lord to emerge..."
Bang!
Yu Qingning suddenly kicked out, and Yu Yi felt as if he had been hit by a world-destroying hammer. His face was contorted, his blood was surging, and his kick was sent flying into the distant mountains with a huge roar. When the smoke cleared, the latter had been kicked so hard that he was out of his mind and his hair was in disarray.
This kick... almost shattered his immortal path and obliterated his foundation.
"Yu Yi, when did you, a mere Tribulation Transcending stage cultivator, become so ambitious?" Yu Qingning's expression was as cold as an ancient ice cellar as she said, "Even if such a thing were to happen, it would be a matter for the ancient powerhouses of the Eternal Immortal Realm. When did it become your place to interfere?"
She snorted coldly and laughed in anger.
The creator of heaven and earth?!
Whose turn is it?!
"Then it seems that Hua Chen's death is indeed related to you."
Yu Qingning's voice had turned icy cold at this moment, "Yu Yi, my Yu family is an ancient and immortal family of the Eternal Immortal Realm. We can afford to lose anything, we can afford to fail at anything, but we cannot afford to lose our reputation."
"Fourth, fourth sister, fourth sister!"
Yu Yi instantly snapped to his senses, roaring wildly in an attempt to awaken his sibling bond, "Fourth Sister, it's my fault, I was greedy, but are you really going to hand over your own brother for those two juniors from beyond the realm?!"
On the ground, Yu Qingning slowly walked over, sword in hand.
She didn't respond.
"Fourth Sister, I really don't know how he died!!"
bass--
The sword light shone brightly, and the immortal power was overwhelming.
"Fourth Sister, if I die, they will confirm this matter and accuse the Yu family of murdering to cover up a crime, disregarding the ancient rules of heaven and earth, and causing the Yu family to lose all its prestige!!"
Swish!
The sword light was already right in front of Yi, whose pupils were beginning to dilate. Ignoring his injuries, he gasped for breath, the killing intent was right before his eyes, his whole body was cold and soaked, and he was terrified of death to the extreme.
"How dare you!" Yu Qingning's voice was icy cold, her arm trembling with rage. "Go back to your cave. If I ever see you leave the Yu family again, I will personally kill you."
"Fourth Sister, Ninth Brother knows he was wrong!!"
Yu Yi ran away, howling like a ghost.
Yu Qingning took a deep breath: "Wait."
"Fourth, Fourth Sister..."
Tell me the whole story.
"Fourth Sister, it's like this..."
"The Void of Myriad Realms, the Celestial Realms of Myriad Realms?!"
"...Can one attain the myriad paths?!"
"What?! You have someone backing you?!"
"Yu Yi, are you trying to defy the heavens?!"
……
Boom!
A sacred mountain was instantly cleaved in two by the immortal sword, and the vast sword energy swept across the land.
Yu Yi ran away, fleeing frantically.
A hint of fear appeared in Yu Qingning's eyes. He wasn't afraid of the person behind it; there was no one in the entire Yu family in the Eternal Immortal Realm he needed to fear. What he was afraid of was that this matter had actually dragged his Yu family into it.
There is even a complete hidden chain of interests involved, which uses unorthodox methods to seemingly legitimately seize a lot of rare and precious materials, and has even resulted in murders. It can be said that they have completely crossed the bottom line of the rules of the Eternal Immortal Realm.
It's not a big deal yet.
But when it gets really big, she can't cover it up.
"No, we must bring that person back to life."
A rare look of fear appeared in Yu Qingning's eyes. "We must find those two. We can't investigate any further. We need to use some resources to find out the cultivators behind them in advance. It would be a great absurdity for the world."
In the Eternal Immortal Realm, some cultivators have already begun to complain that cultivating the myriad paths is too slow and not conducive to the pursuit of immortality, and are seeking shortcuts!
She closed her eyes, shook her head, her face pale, and looked disappointed.
later.
Ruan Lingchen and An Xiuyan's investigation began to encounter great resistance, with all clues going cold and no leads to be found.
Moreover, this matter involves several immortal realms and costs a huge amount of money. They do not yet have much resources in the Eternal Immortal Realm and are short of money. They traveled on the Sky Track the whole way, each one silent and each one taking a long time.
In particular, making money in the Eternal Immortal Realm is harder than climbing to heaven, because everyone has no shortage of ordinary spiritual items.
Moonlit night.
A certain celestial city.
The two exchanged a glance, put on hoods, and began performing their shoddy tricks at the city's grand event. One performed while the other squatted awkwardly, collecting tips. They had been advised by a master that performing tricks in the Immortal City would earn them some rewards.
"Hey, come on, come and see..." Ruan Lingchen called out weakly, so embarrassed that he dug his toes into the ground.
"Ruan Lingchen, what are you doing?" An Xiuyan turned her head, her eyes wide with shock.
Ruan Lingchen initially thought she had noticed his helplessness and embarrassment, but An Xiuyan playfully scolded him, "Speak louder!"
"Oh, oh!" Ruan Lingchen took a deep breath and suddenly raised his voice, "Is there any senior or fellow Daoist who could give me some travel expenses!"
On the road.
"Holy crap, Old Niu, Third Sister, Little Chi, how come there are still beggars on the streets of our Eternal Immortal City? Could they be disciples of the Featherless Bird?!"
"Moo?"
