Every Blade of Grass and Tree Became an Enemy
Black Lotus Star, Black Lotus Market Town.
In a quiet residence, Chen Qingyun was reporting the situation to Venerable Black Lotus through a Transmission Mirror.
"Shi Yue has been missing for six years. What's going on?"
"This subordinate doesn't know either. Perhaps the journey is long! I contacted Shi Bao some time ago, and she said she would be back soon."
"If he returns, report it immediately."
"Yes, Venerable."
After cutting off the connection, Chen Qingyun let out a long breath of relief.
If he hadn't still been able to contact Shi Bao, he would have suspected that Shi Yue had run off with the money.
Suddenly, an urgent shrill sound rang out from his robes. He took out a Communication Disk and formed a Hand Seal over it. A man's voice came from the disk: "Elder Chen, Shi Yue and Shi Bao have returned. There's also a Void Refining Cultivator among their companions, and they're heading your way."
"Good, I understand."
On a broad street, Shi Yue and Yin'er walked side by side. In front of them was a tall young man in a green robe, with sharply defined brows and bright eyes. Faint green light flickered in his gaze.
Eight Spirit Transmutation cultivators and fifteen Nascent Soul Cultivators followed behind the three. That lineup was on par with the Great Sects of Black Lotus Star.
Before long, the young man in green arrived at Chen Qingyun's residence. Chen Qingyun had been waiting at the entrance.
As soon as he saw the young man, Chen Qingyun hurried over and greeted him with a smile. "This junior is Chen Qingyun. I didn't know you were coming, Senior. Please forgive me for not welcoming you sooner."
"Spare me the nonsense. Go inside.
