Vampire Cultivation Notes

Chapter 137 Hoping the Yu family is alright

"There's a chilling aura about it, like that..."

Someone from the Yu family found a clue and came to report it.

However, Yu Mingwu waved his hand expressionlessly and said, "No need to say anything more, go back. The current You She Hai is not under our control. If there is any situation, the person in the east should be informed."

After discussing it for a while, the Yu family decided not to linger in the high altitude and gradually retreated.

The fishermen left.

Beneath the layer of gale-force winds above the dome, Fairy Shecai appeared. First, she frowned slightly as she stared at the direction where Li Jieqing had disappeared, then she stared at the figures of the Yu family members turning around below, pondering for a long time.

"This Luqiu, relying on the fact that no one has discovered him, not only dares to threaten me, but he is also not afraid of what I told Qi Zhen."

"Hiding in the shadows to oppose me like this, I'll expose his true identity and see if he can still resist!"

She didn't go to get any Heavenly Star Grass. Fairy Shecai, relying on her status as a Foundation Establishment True Person, would never obey the orders of a Qi Refining cultivator to fetch medicine.

Since she is in the open and recognized by Qi Zhen, it is inconvenient for her. On the contrary, once the true identity of Lu Qiu is found, and it is reported to Qi Zhen, this person will naturally also be in trouble and will have to obediently listen to her.

"I just killed someone on that island, and this Luqiu suddenly appeared, and from his words, he seemed to have many people acting on his orders."

"That seems to be a rogue cultivator family, called... the Yu family?"

Once the thought arose, Fairy Shecai no longer hesitated. She quietly descended and re-entered the Snake Sea, setting foot on the Fish Family's main island.

In her view, although Luqiu had faked his death and was hiding, he must have had a public identity all these years.

Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator like her needs an identity to move around. How could someone at the mere Qi Refining Realm possibly live in complete seclusion and avoid communication with the outside world?

On the contrary, the person who was able to obtain information about the Hidden Dragon Lice's Nest and seize the treasure before Qi Zhen could do so must have had extraordinary access to information.

The Yu family, with its large and powerful population, is a place to be suspicious.

Main island.

The Yu family cultivators have returned and dispersed to carry out their own affairs.

When Fairy Shecai arrived for the second time, she was much more careful this time, hiding herself in the shadows, lest she be discovered by 'Luqiu' who might be hiding there.

Even their divine sense is not released outwards.

A dignified Foundation Establishment cultivator measured the main island with his footsteps, inspected it back and forth, and finally stopped outside the Fish Clan's territory.

Speaking of the Yu family, they have developed considerably in the more than 20 years since they settled in the Snake Sea. With a large number of people and a wealth of ideas, their foundation is stronger than that of lone cultivators. The protective formation they have set up to protect their clan's territory is among the top in the entire northern region, which is the envy of many.

Then, I was hacked by Fairy Luxurious Colors.

A ring of light rippled outwards, as if stepping onto the surface of water. Fairy Shecai stepped onto the clan's territory, and the light array swept past her, leaving only slight ripples.

With a flick of her wrist, Fairy Shecai calmed the ripples in the formation.

Throughout the entire process, there was no warning or abnormality at the central location of the magic array in the Fish Clan's territory.

Fairy Shecai was born in Wanbaoge and has lived for several hundred years. She has not only accumulated great magical power, but also has extensive knowledge of all kinds of cultivation arts. Alchemy and array formation are her strengths.

If it weren't for the fear of alerting the 'Luqiu' who was hiding somewhere, Fairy Shecai would have been able to enter long ago.

Night had fallen.

She avoided pedestrians and headed straight for the place where Yu Mingwu, the head of the Yu family, was.

The Yu family has three late-stage Qi Refining experts; if she's going to catch one, she'll catch the leader.

Outside the master's residence.

Since Fairy Shecai found no trace of 'Luqiu', she carefully extended some of her divine sense and locked onto Yu Mingwu inside the room.

Yu Mingwu was recuperating and cultivating his health. He was over ninety years old and was said to have reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, but in reality, he was already somewhat unable to fight. Especially after being injured during his last exploration of Blood Bamboo Island, he felt the approach of old age.

Now all I can do is try to absorb as much spiritual energy as possible, hoping to live to the age of 150 and leave behind some legends in the Yu family, which would be a worthwhile life.

Suddenly, Yu Mingwu, who was adjusting his breathing, opened his eyes, and a bead of sweat dripped from his forehead.

Divine sense is formless and colorless, so he cannot perceive it.

But that didn't stop him from feeling a sudden panic.

It's like when an ordinary person is being stared at menacingly from behind; they feel their hair stand on end.

At this moment, Yu Mingwu felt as if he were surrounded by an undisguised malice, which was intense and lingering.

Wiping away his sweat, Yu Mingwu scanned the room with his slightly cloudy eyes, but he couldn't find the source of his panic.

Just as he was about to get up.

With a creak.

The lacquered red wooden door opened.

A pair of embroidered shoes stepped into the room, and beneath the blue monastic skirt, the slender and graceful shape of the legs was outlined.

Yu Mingwu opened his mouth and blinked hard.

Then he realized he couldn't shout, and when he opened his eyes again, someone was already in front of him, raising their hand to grab his neck.

"Young man, this is the kind of ability you should have at the Qi Refining Realm."

"Hmph hmph hmph..."

Yu Mingwu, whose face was bluish-purple, burst into a hearty laugh, as if venting his grievances.

Before he could even think of a way to struggle, his consciousness was suddenly pulled away.

The method of soul searching was extinct on Xiaoxin Island in the past. Forcibly searching the secrets in the soul and peeling away the soul's memories like unraveling an onion is really not a righteous method.

However, as the Seven Immortals built the Immortal City and gathered many cultivators, the method of soul searching gradually spread.

Yu Mingwu was too old to learn this skill, so he only arranged for talented people in the clan to learn it, just in case.

Unexpectedly, he has now been subjected to a soul search.

The process of searching for souls can be either meticulous or brutal. Fairy Shecai was originally carefully searching for Yu Mingwu's soul, but she couldn't bear it anymore halfway through exploring his memories.

"No?"

"Luqiu really disappeared suddenly after the land reclamation, and it has nothing to do with the Yu family?!"

They had originally considered whether to spare the life of the Soul Searcher to avoid alerting the enemy, but now they couldn't care less.

The Fairy of Luxurious Colors' divine sense drilled into Yu Mingwu's mind, and with the help of her magic, she brutally tore open his aging soul, unearthing all the memories she could find from the past thirty years.

"Back then, Luqiu was aloof and taciturn...that matches my memory. Later, he had a conflict with the Yu family...not only that, but also with several other people who were reclaiming this land. He was very arrogant..."

As the Fairy of Luxurious Colors loosened her broken soul, Yu Mingwu, who could no longer keep any secrets, put one hand to his forehead.

The younger generation is truly formidable!

Unexpectedly, Luqiu had foreseen this day decades ago. His relationship with the other people who reclaimed this land was not harmonious, so after his disappearance, everyone became a suspect, making it impossible for her to investigate.

"Could it be that these various forces in the Serpent Sea are just a front he left behind, and he's not actually even in the Serpent Sea anymore?"

The Fairy of Luxurious Colors pursed her lips and looked out the window.

Now that she has gone to the Yu family to search their souls, although she has done it discreetly, she doesn't know if she has alerted Lu Qiu.

The fact that a mere Qi Refining cultivator could exert such pressure on her shows how terrifying his mental fortitude is!
