The life-and-death struggle within the Yellow Springs Secret Mansion was like a storm, sweeping all the way to Fengdu City ten thousand li away.
From the very beginning, news from the Yellow Springs Secret Mansion had streamed in without end. Especially in the later stages, after Xin Yi used Void Divine Ability twice and moved most of the cultivators out of the secret mansion, the amount of information exploded.
Yet on the surface, aside from the initial frenzy, all sides maintained a certain restraint, continuing to watch with only a measured eagerness.
Another two days passed like this.
During that time, Yu Ci had already contacted Shadow Ghost. However, the two over there seemed to have found clues regarding Lu Qing and needed to remain another day before they could reach the Yellow Springs Secret Mansion. Yu Ci could only wait.
That day, just after he finished his morning cultivation, Gu Zhi came to call and invited him to an auction. While the two were speaking, Guan Zheng arrived to pay a visit, looking somewhat awkward.
With all three parties running into one another, whatever this man intended, Yu Ci knew that a quiet day was out of the question. He simply went with the flow, accepted Gu Zhi's invitation, and invited Guan Zheng along as well. Guan Zheng hesitated for a moment, then agreed.
With Gu Zhi, the local snake, there to guide them, the itinerary was naturally arranged with care. They rode in a carriage and chatted idly along the way.
Gu Zhi was quite an interesting fellow. His desire to recruit Yu Ci was as plain as day, yet over the past few days, he had always circled around the subject, merely striving to deepen their friendship and never mentioning tangible benefits—at least, never spelling things out.
