Chapter 711 - 711: Tingyu Tower
Yu Chan’s words fell ethereally into the cavern’s air and echoed in Li Muyang’s ears.
Yan Xiaoru’s purpose here was the same as theirs, to search for the fox spirit in Jiuyuan City…
“Could that mysterious fox immortal truly be related to an ancient deity?”
Li Muyang’s brows furrowed tightly, his expression somber.
Or could it be that the fox immortal is an ancient deity that is still alive?
After becoming a Demon Cultivator, Yan Xiaoru’s temperament changed drastically; she even ignored her former lover, Li Muyang.
Under such circumstances, evidently, the only thing that could interest her was her own rapidly withering life span.
A fresh Divine Spirit Heart would certainly pose an irresistible temptation to her.
She happened to have learned the Star Tugging Technique from the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, capable of divination, predicting good and bad fortunes, and peering into the hidden secrets of the universe with secret techniques.
In this situation, she might have divined a clue about a fresh Divine Spirit Heart.
Thus, she kidnapped Li Muyang’s parents and headed to Jiuyuan City to find the fox immortal…
“Everything’s connecting now,” Li Muyang murmured to himself, looking at his younger sister, and asked, “How are you holding up? Do you need help?”
Li Muyang opened the Qiankun Ring and took out a Top-Grade Spiritual Medicine that replenishes qi and blood.
As the Top-Grade Spirit Pill appeared in the cave, the air became filled with the faint scent of refreshing herbs.
But Li Yuechan just gave a wry smile, shaking her head and said, “I’m drained of energy and need to rest; medicine won’t help. I can only recover by nurturing my own qi. You should give the pill to Qu Yan, let him dissolve it in water, and share it with the others.”
“They need this Spirit Pill more than I do.”
Indeed, the other three people lying in the cave were seriously injured and urgently needed to heal.
Li Muyang was not stingy and directly handed the Top-Grade Spirit Pill to Qu Yan to dissolve in water and feed to the wounded.
He himself sat down on the spot, facing his sister, who was slumped against the cave wall.
“If you need my help, just ask without being shy.”
Li Muyang was very sincere,
Afraid that the stubborn girl would be too embarrassed to ask him for anything.
Li Yuechan gave a feeble smile and said, “I have the thickest skin; I’d never feel embarrassed to take something from my brother.”
The siblings sat face to face, exchanging information about their situation.
With Yu Chan’s story, Li Muyang finally understood the sequence of events.
Upon arriving in Jiuyuan City, Yu Chan sent people to track down the fox spirit and look for those who had dealings with it.
But just as they were getting some leads, Yan Xiaoru appeared outside Jiuyuan City with Li Damu and his wife.
Seeing Yan Xiaoru, Li Yuechan knew she was outmatched and immediately hid in the shadows, being even more cautious and not wanting to provoke a conflict with Yan Xiaoru.
However, while waiting for Li Muyang at Lonely Pine Ridge, Yan Xiaoru suddenly appeared, effortlessly defeating Li Yuechan and her folks, kidnapping one of them – a woman named Qu Ping.
This Qu Ping was the older sister of the young Qu Yan, who had followed Li Yuechan to Jiuyuan City.
The only clue about the fox spirit that Li Yuechan’s people had found was discovered by Qu Ping.
But now, she had been captured by Yan Xiaoru, and her fate remained unknown.
In the midst of the chaos, a gang of wild foxes suddenly joined the battlefield and launched a tidal wave of assaults on Yan Xiaoru.
The group of foxes had harbored a deep enmity towards Li Yuechan, but at this moment, seeing Yan Xiaoru, they became even more frenzied.
Thanks to the foxes creating chaos, Li Yuechan was able to escape with her subordinates in time, avoiding the fate of becoming a prisoner.
Now hiding in the city, she was about to dispatch the least injured among them, Qu Yan, to send out a message.
Unexpectedly, they ran into Li Muyang’s appearance.
Hearing Yuechan’s account, Li Muyang furrowed his brows, “The foxes attacked Yan Xiaoru on their own initiative, and she even captured Qu Ping…”
Looking at his weak sister, and at the other injured individuals, Li Muyang curiously asked.
“Speaking of which, where did you find these friends? Their cultivation is not weak.”
These individuals were all cultivators of the Wandering Realm, and even the weakest youth, Qu Yan, possessed cultivation of the Profound Mystery Realm, which made them considered as masters throughout the Cultivation World.
Yet, they are wholeheartedly protecting Li Yuechan, which is quite surprising.
Li Yuechan watched the young Qu Yan dissolve Elixirs in water and feed them to the injured, sighing, “These few are the retainers of Tingyu Tower, a legacy left behind by my teacher before passing away, a lineage that has been awaiting my teacher’s return for generations. I am their young master, so I can mobilize some of the power of Tingyu Tower.”
After hearing Yuechan’s answer, Li Muyang slightly raised his eyebrows, “Tingyu Tower? Isn’t that the mysterious organization that sells information? It’s actually the legacy left by Corpse Immortal…”
This was indeed unexpected.
Tingyu Tower was rather mysterious in the Cultivation World. Some forces are well-known, but they seldom involve themselves in the disputes of the Cultivation World, and their overall strength is relatively weak.
They linger on the fringes of the Cultivation World, earning Silver Coins by selling information and gathering intelligence.
Even in their main business of selling information, Tingyu Tower’s performance was mediocre when compared to other specialized information organizations. In the Cultivation World, Tingyu Tower’s overall strength was only mediocre, a third-tier small organization; its sole merit was having survived for many years without extinction.
It was unexpected that it was the lineage left by Corpse Immortal…
Li Muyang asked, “What are your plans next? Are you going to rescue that Qu Ping you spoke of?”
Li Yuechan shook her head, “For now, we will stay put and wait until our injuries are healed before making any moves.”
“Not only has Elder Yan arrived, but there are also traces of Demon Cultivators from Qing Yang in Jiuyuan City now; it’s unclear what Qing Yang wants with this place…”
Li Yuechan brought another piece of significant news.
Li Muyang frowned upon hearing this, “Qing Yang?”
That mysterious Tianxin old man dragged his original body into the Peaceful Realms, tried to kill him multiple times, and was possibly related to Little Wild Grass.
That person’s hatred towards Li Muyang was venomous.
Now that Li Muyang had arrived in Jiuyuan City, Demon Cultivators from Qing Yang were also here?
Li Muyang fell silent for a few seconds, then said, “This Jiuyuan City has become rather lively all of a sudden.”
However, the Demon Cultivators from Qing Yang were probably targeting Yuechan.
Although Tianxin old man wanted to kill Li Muyang, Qing Yang has been established for many years with the primary goal of tracking Corpse Immortal and its descendants.
These Demon Cultivators arrived at Jiuyuan City while Li Muyang was still far away.
It’s just unknown how Yuechan’s whereabouts were leaked.
Li Muyang looked around the dimly lit cave and said, “Then let’s wait until you are all recovered before venturing out; it’s a good opportunity to observe and see if Qing Yang will clash with Yan Xiaoru.”
As the saying goes, a single mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Both Yan Xiaoru and the Demon Cultivators from Qing Yang were crammed in the small Jiuyuan City, still controlling Li Damu and his wife.
Perhaps the Demon Cultivators from Qing Yang would clash with her.
After all, whoever controlled Li Damu and his wife would have the chance to threaten Li Muyang, the Immortal Artifact Master.
Li Muyang stood up and said to the third lady, “Send a message to Senior Dantai using your azure bird, asking her to come here.”
