106: Ye Yi's life story

The glazed lanterns of Longyang Inn were lit one after another.

When Lin Yucheng stepped through the main gate of Longyang Inn, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as Lin Yucheng pushed open the door to the Xuan-numbered room, Ye Yi flashed out from the shadows of the corridor pillars, sweat still beading on his forehead:

“Senior, everything is ready!”

The heavy Storage Pouch was filled with Medicinal Pills, Talismans, and some rare Ores.

Lin Yucheng’s Divine Sense swept over the Storage Pouch, revealing a satisfied expression.

“This is the Spirit Stone remaining after deducting the running fee.”

Ye Yi handed over a small pouch, his fingertips white from gripping it tightly.

When Lin Yucheng finished counting and looked up, the Young Man suddenly knelt, his forehead thudding heavily against the blue bricks!

Suppressed sobs were exceptionally clear in the space isolated by the Formation: “I beg Senior to help me!”

Ye Yi tore open his clothes, a charred ‘traitor’ mark branded on his chest, and he said indignantly:

“I was originally a direct descendant of the Wuyang Town Ye Family, but five years ago, I was framed for stealing the ‘Profound Ice Art’ and had my Spiritual Root extracted and cultivation crippled…”

He squeezed a name through his teeth, “Ye Hong! He relied on his Metal Heavenly Spiritual Root and colluded with outsiders to seize my position as Young Clan Chief…”

Lin Yucheng gazed at the hideous scar.

Having one's spiritual bones extracted was equivalent to having one's Dao foundation completely destroyed; for this Young Man to be able to re-cultivate to Qi Refining Seventh Layer, the hardships involved were imaginable.

At the same time, this also proved that the Young Man in front of him was someone with deep fortune.

“Why seek me out?”

“To tell Senior the truth, although I am hiding in Longyang Inn as a waiter, I still have a few trusted confidants. Senior has deep connections with Spirit Treasure Pavilion and the Long Family, so you must be no ordinary person!”

Acrazy flame ignited in Ye Yi’s eyes: “Senior, I don’t ask you to help me now, I only ask that when your cultivation reaches a level where you can contend with the entire Ye Family, you lend me a hand…”

Lin Yucheng said coldly: “I have no need to help you!”

Ye Yi hastily pulled out a jade box from hisPregnant, and when it opened, a cold mist permeated the air, revealing a twin petal ice soul snow lotus formed from ice crystals.

“Is this a three-hundred-year-old twin petal ice soul snow lotus?”

Lin Yucheng’s pupils contracted slightly. This item grows in a ten-thousand-zhang snow abyss, its value comparable to a Talisman Treasure.

Lin Yucheng looked out at the thick night fog outside the window. The copper bells on the eaves jingled, and the figure of an old woman in a gray robe flashed in and out of the window crack of a teahouse across the street.

“This matter…”

Lin Yucheng suddenly couldn't make up his mind, and he stared blankly at Ye Yi's instantly pale face.

At first, he didn't fully trust Ye Yi, and had already planted a Tracking Talisman on him. Lin Yucheng knew his whereabouts; the supplies he bought were not from Yang City.

Ye Yi left Yang City, and the direction he headed was likely Wuyang Town, where the Ye Family was located.

“Alright, I agree.”

Lin Yucheng put away the twin petal ice soul snow lotus, considering it an agreement to Ye Yi’s request.

He had nothing to lose by doing this, it was just a verbal promise.

Once he truly possessed the strength, what harm was there in lending him a hand?

“Senior, you bought so many valuable auction items at the Long Family Auction House, which will certainly attract the attention of those with ulterior motives. I have a way to help you leave here.”

Ye Yi’s complexion became a bit rosier when he saw that Lin Yucheng had accepted the snow lotus.

Lin Yucheng slowly nodded, it seemed he wouldn't lose out on this deal at all.

...

In the side room of Spirit Treasure Pavilion's backyard.

The little girl was leaning on Li Qiuniang’s lap, learning to string beads, but after only a short while, she fell into a deep sleep again.

The candlelight flickered on her round little face; she was completely unaware that her parents had turned to ash just a few days ago.

“Are you finally willing to come and pick up this little troublemaker?” Li Qiuniang raised an eyebrow, looking at the travel-worn man.

Lin Yucheng picked up the sleeping girl, and a circular jade pendant suddenly dropped from the brocade quilt, with a ‘Zhou’ character carved on its inner ring.

Li Qiuniang’s expression changed drastically as she bent down to pick it up: “She’s actually from the Zhou Family?!”

Lin Yucheng also smiled bitterly; within a few days of arriving in Yang City, the three largest forces in Yang City had all made contact with him.

Long Xinyue, the Young Miss of the Long Family.

Ye Yi, the fallen Young Master of the Ye Family.

And this little girl with the surname Zhou in front of him.

It turned out that the small village he first set foot in was Xiaomiao Village.

Judging from Li Qiuniang’s surprised expression, this circular jade pendant indicated that the little girl’s identity was not ordinary.

However, although her parents’ cultivation was not bad, they were still ordinary Cultivators.

Couldn't figure it out?

...

Near the Qingyang Mountain Range.

Sword cries pierced the air!

The phantom of the Talisman Treasure Qingyuan Sword appeared in Lin Yucheng’s palm. Lin Yucheng had no choice but to use this Talisman Treasure.

Lin Yucheng exited the Yang City Main City through the secret passage Ye Yi mentioned. This secret passage led directly to Wuyang Town, where the Ye Family was located.

He then quickly left Wuyang Town, preparing to head to the Qingyang Mountain Range; once he entered the Qingyang Mountain Range, he would be safe.

However, for some reason, he was still followed.

Lin Yucheng thought to himself: someone must have placed a mark on him.

Otherwise, how could such a secret passage be discovered by others, and how could they accurately pinpoint his location?

“Hand over your Storage Pouch obediently, and we can consider leaving you a complete corpse.”

There were dozens of people tracking Lin Yucheng, and the leader was a hunched old woman, most of her body shrouded in a black robe.

Her voice was like the sound of a broken gong being struck, very harsh and unpleasant.

Lin Yucheng snorted coldly, ignoring her.

However, his speed was still no match for the hunched old woman; being caught was only a matter of time.

Qingyuan Sword Talisman Treasure

In his helplessness, he could only use this trump card.

With the materials currently in his Storage Pouch, using the Talisman Treasure was completely worthwhile.

If these materials couldn't be brought back to the Lin Family, that would be the real loss.

As a large amount of spiritual power was injected into the Qingyuan Sword Talisman, a long sword glowing with a green light materialized from nothingness.

“Is this Grandpa’s Qingyuan Sword?” Lin Yucheng murmured softly.

This was his first time controlling a Talisman Treasure, but perhaps due to their Bloodline connection, he found it not difficult to wield this sword.

Green sword light continuously shot out from the long sword. The mere sword light forced all the Cultivators tracking behind to halt, only able to passively defend.

“Go!”

Lin Yucheng injected more spiritual power into the Talisman Treasure, and the power of the Qingyuan Sword was fully unleashed.

The hunched old woman never expected that the other party would have such a powerful weapon as a Talisman Treasure.

She had been very confident in this pursuit.

The opponent was only at the Early Foundation Establishment Stage, but her cultivation had already reached the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.

Because of the Realm difference, pursuing the opponent should have been an easy task.

But she never expected the opponent to have a Talisman Treasure.

The Qingyuan Sword’s sword light stung her skin, while the Cultivators behind her had long been pierced by countless sword lights, their vitality constantly draining away.

Listening to the screams behind her, the old woman panicked.

Seeing the immense power of the Qingyuan Sword, Lin Yucheng immediately had the idea of killing all of them.

“I must finish this quickly. The Talisman Treasure’s duration is limited; I can’t delay any longer.”
