Chapter 19: The Chen Family of White Deer City (Page 1/2)

"Master!"

Xu Yizhou and the others, as if they had found their backbone, fled in disarray and hid behind Duan Ya.

Duan Ya's gaze deepened.

"Rebellious disciple, is this how you let outsiders bully your fellow disciples?"

Yun Luo:?

"Are you alright?"

Yun Luo was speechless to the extreme.

"Old man, don't be so possessive of other people's disciples, okay?"

Duan Ya only reached Foundation Establishment at the age of sixty. He relied on low-quality youth-preserving pills to maintain his youthful appearance.

Yun Luo's calling him "Old Man" was no different from stepping on his tail.

Just then, Chu Li suddenly added.

"Heavens, can Nascent Soul Realm cultivators be elders in the Heavenly Star Sect?"

She covered her mouth in surprise, as if she had seen something that subverted her worldview.

Duan Ya's lips trembled with anger.

"Ignorant junior!"

He was used to being pampered in the Heavenly Star Sect. Moreover, he had just broken through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage after a fortuitous encounter. Seeing that Chu Li beside Yun Luo was only at the Golden Core Early Stage, he couldn't help but feel contempt.

"A disciple for a day is a father for life. Since you don't respect your master, today, I will discipline both you and your senior sister!"

With that, his spiritual energy shot directly towards their faces.

Yun Luo's fingers were already on the bell of her bracelet.

She couldn't win, but she had plenty of magic artifacts for self-preservation.

But before she could make a move, Duan Ya's attack was blocked by an invisible barrier and sent back.

"Leave the inn, or die!"

Qingheng's voice was amplified by spiritual energy, as if coming from all directions, making it impossible to tell where she was.

Yun Luo knew that Elder Qingheng was in the side room upstairs.

Her spiritual sense at the Spirit Transmutation Early Stage was enough to cover the entire inn. She knew what was happening without leaving her room.

Of course, she could also send someone flying without meeting them.

This was the crushing power of a higher realm.

Yun Luo's motivation to restore her spiritual root grew even stronger.

Duan Ya's attacks were all reflected. If he hadn't quickly erected a spiritual barrier to protect himself, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Even so, his internal energy surged, and a sweet, metallic taste filled his throat.

His eyes darkened.

He had been so enraged that he had lost his reason, forgetting that the elders of the Hehuan Sect were all above the Spirit Transmutation realm.

He fiercely wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Let's go!"

The Heavenly Star Sect members left the inn in a sorry state. Lin Ting glanced meaningfully at Yun Luo before leaving, clearly plotting something.

"Senior Sister, let's follow them and see."

Yun Luo took Lin Ting's previous threat to heart.

The Heavenly Star Sect definitely didn't have the ability to help Lin Ting restore his spiritual root.

Furthermore, he had stolen first, so the Heavenly Star Sect should have expelled him from the sect.

But now Lin Ting's spiritual root had not only recovered, but he also looked like a young master, which made her even more vigilant.

This group of people would definitely enter the secret realm. Although she had life-saving magic artifacts, if she didn't figure out why they were so arrogant, she wouldn't even know where to be buried if she was tricked.

With this commotion, Chu Li naturally lost the mood to go shopping. She immediately took Yun Luo and quietly followed them.

After following for about two li, the Heavenly Star Sect members went to a slightly inferior inn.

Yun Luo saw that Lin Ting still requested the most expensive room, and it was he who paid with spirit stones.

She was extremely curious. After squatting for a long time with Chu Li, they finally caught a Qi Refining stage inner disciple named Wang San.

"Junior Sister, let me beat him up. I guarantee he won't dare to lie to you."

Chu Li clenched her fists, eager to try.

Wang San was so scared that he became as soft as a stomach-soothing medicine.

"Don't... don't do anything, I'll tell you whatever you want to know!"

Such a spineless fellow, he surrendered immediately.

Yun Luo stopped Chu Li, eager to try.

"Senior Sister, let me handle it. It's a good chance to test my Beguiler Technique."

"Alright."

Chu Li regretfully put away her fist and left it to Yun Luo to handle.

"Look at me!" Yun Luo's tone was stern.

Wang San didn't dare not to look. Perhaps it was due to extreme nervousness, but as soon as their eyes met, his pupils began to dilate.

Yun Luo first asked a few trivial questions to ensure he wasn't faking it before getting to the main point.

"Who helped Lin Ting recover his Spiritual Root?"

Wang San trembled like a sieve. "I don't know exactly who it was, only that it was someone from the Chen family."

"The Chen family?"

Chu Li frowned. "You mean the Chen family of White Deer City?"

Wang San nodded vigorously. "Yes, it's them."

Yun Luo asked a few more questions, and Wang San answered them all.

"Every year, the Chen family sends people to deliver many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to the sect, asking the elders to take good care of Senior Brother Lin."

"Elder Wujiu was also able to break through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage thanks to them."

"..."

Yun Luo wanted to ask about Lin Ting's relationship with the Chen family, but Wang San clearly didn't know.

She had no choice but to withdraw her Beguiler Technique and forcibly stuff a Pill into him.

Wang San fumbled with his throat for a long time but couldn't get it out.

"Senior Sister Yun... Senior Sister, what did you give me? Why do I feel so dizzy?"

Yun Luo said sinisterly, "It's nothing, just a little poison. Dizziness is normal."

"What does Senior Sister want me to do?"

Yun Luo patted his head.

"You're teachable. From today until the end of the Secret Realm, you will report to me daily on everything Lin Ting says and does. You must be detailed."

"If you dare to deceive me..."

"This is a Poison Pill refined by my Master. Without the antidote, you'll explode and die within a month."

Almost the moment he swallowed it, Wang San felt a dull ache in his Dantian.

He never dared to doubt anything produced by the Hehuan Sect.

"I'll do as Senior Sister says. However, Senior Brother Lin is a Direct Disciple, so I might not be able to know all his movements."

The people from the Heavenly Star Sect would definitely stick together after entering the Secret Realm. Yun Luo just needed to know Lin Ting's whereabouts.

"Just do your best."

Yun Luo sent him away and left with Chu Li without a sound.

"Senior Sister, is the Chen family very powerful?"

Chu Li bought two skewers of meat and handed one to Yun Luo.

She took a bite of the skewer and said, The Chen family controls White Deer City. Several immortal mountains surrounding it also belong to them. Their mountains are rich with all manner of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and they possess two spiritual veins. They are considered one of the wealthiest cultivation families.

"Furthermore, five hundred years ago, the Chen family had an Ascension mighty figure. That Ascension Secret Realm alone is enough to cultivate many mighty figures at or above the Spirit Transmutation stage."

"Currently, the highest cultivation in the Chen family is the father of the Patriarch Chen, who is at the Void Refining mid-stage. There are also several elders who have reached the Spirit Transmutation Great Perfection."

"The entire Chen family has about a hundred people at the Nascent Soul Realm, and over twenty above Spirit Transmutation. Their strength far surpasses many major sects."

"Although our Hehuan Sect has Martial Ancestor Bai Huan, there is an unwritten rule in the cultivation world: mighty figures at the Tribulation Crossing stage cannot easily interfere in the disputes of the juniors. Moreover, they generally won't act easily. After all, at this level, one cannot damage their Dao Heart with trivial matters. The mighty figures' main focus is on Ascension."

Yun Luo stroked her chin thoughtfully.

It seemed Lin Ting was likely an illegitimate son of some important figure in the Chen family who had been living outside. No wonder he was so arrogant.

Seeing her solemn expression, Chu Li thought she was scared.

"Little Junior Sister, don't worry. Your Senior Sisters are all at the Golden Core stage. Once we enter the Secret Realm, Lin Ting won't be able to bully you. If he dares to provoke you, we'll beat his butt until it's bruised. Even if the Chen family dares to seek trouble, our Hehuan Sect won't fear them."

Yun Luo was naturally not afraid. She was just wondering how she could deal with Lin Ting in the Secret Realm without anyone noticing.
