Sister, I don't want to be a furnace anymore. I'm about to become an immortal.

Chapter 145: Bait

"Where does this fragrance come from on you?"

"That's right...that's right...my lady, please don't do it..."

A few minutes later, by the stream, Xiao Yichen was rubbing the clothes in his hands, with a slap mark on his face. Liu Qingqing squatted beside him and poked the red mark on his face with a gloating look on her face.

"Haha, brother, aren't you usually quick-witted? How come you got slapped in the face today and you haven't even explained it clearly? Did you really go out and eat it secretly?"

Xiao Yichen angrily pulled her hand away and glanced at her: "Who would have thought that your senior sister was fine one second and attacked the next second without even giving her time to react? Also, am I that kind of person?"

He rubbed the clothes in his hand over and over again, and after making sure there was no other smell, he threw them into the air. Suddenly, a strong wind rose out of nowhere and blew the clothes into it. After a while, the originally wet clothes were dry.

After putting them back on, he brought Liu Qingqing back to the cabin. Seeing them coming, Yun Mei snorted coldly, "Tell me, what on earth did you run out for today?"

He walked up and hugged her from behind, but Yunmei was still angry and didn't buy his trick at all. Seeing this, Xiao Yichen had no choice but to tell her the truth about what happened when he went out just now.

When Liu Qingqing heard that her mother was still alive, she rushed to Xiao Yichen in one step.

"Brother, is my mother...really still alive?" As she spoke, mist almost filled her eyes and her voice trembled.

Gently stroking the other person's head, Xiao Yichen repeated everything the fifth elder had said.

When she learned that her mother had been imprisoned in the Meiyu Sect, Liu Qingqing's eyes were filled with tears as well as deep hatred. Especially when she heard that her father was seriously injured by several major sects in order to save them, and ended up with an unknown fate, her teeth were chattering, and she wished she could rush back to the Meiyu Sect to take revenge right away.

"You've been in the Charming Desire Gate for so long, have you discovered anything?"

Upon hearing this, both of them fell into deep thought. The leader of the Meiyu Sect was named Ye Mengli, a very mysterious person. Even Yun Mei, who had joined the sect for so many years, had only met him a few times. She only knew that his strength was terrifying.

Seeing that the two didn't know much, Xiao Yichen frowned and said, "Do you know if there are any forbidden areas in the Meiyu Sect, the kind that you can't even approach normally?"

Hearing this, Yunmei suddenly raised her head, but quickly lowered it again: "No, Qingqing's mother can't be imprisoned there."

When Xiao Yichen heard this, he immediately became interested and asked hurriedly, but was rolled his eyes by Yun Mei:

"That place is so difficult for even a strong person in the Condensation Realm to survive. If Qingqing's mother is really imprisoned there, she will definitely not survive. Don't bother thinking about it. Let me think of another place where someone could be hiding."

At this point, the wooden house fell silent again, with only Liu Qingqing making one or two irritated noises from time to time. At this moment, she held her head and kept recalling all the details of the Meiyu Sect, but she had no clue no matter how hard she thought.

Watching the two racking their brains to recall the past, Xiao Yichen quietly left the cabin. He couldn't help much and would only disturb them if he stayed there. Besides, even if they knew the exact location where they were imprisoned, they didn't have the ability to rescue them now.

"Alas, I'm still not strong enough. If I had the cultivation of the Fusion Realm, I could just barge in and take the person away. There wouldn't be any need for such trouble. But where can I find the Immortal Core Crystal now?"

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered what the old man from the Discipline Valley said, about the treasure that appeared nearby some time ago.

"Looks like I have to find some time to go and have a look."

At this time, in the Lingjian Sect, Sect Master Ning Feiyang was talking to the old man in front of him with a polite look on his face. His words were full of flattery, and the old man was very pleased to hear it.

The old man's name was Yang Rongguang, and standing next to him were a man and a woman, both of whom were his disciples. Their names were Lin Shan and Han Qing respectively. The three of them were sent here by the Holy Alliance to search for that rare treasure.

"Alright, Sect Leader Ning, let's get down to business. How much do you know about that thing?"

When Ning Feiyang heard the other party's question, he was very tactful and stopped flattering him. He told the other party everything he knew.

"Brother Yang, from what I understand, that treasure should be a weapon. It might even have a spirit, which is why it was able to escape tracking. The last time it was seen was in the nearby Lieyang Mountains."

As soon as he heard the specific place name, Yang Rongguang did not delay any longer. After all, the task given to him by the Holy Alliance this time was to bring that thing back.

"In that case, I'll go there first."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out, followed closely by two disciples. After a while, the three of them left the Lingjian Sect.

Ning Feiyang looked at the three people flying away, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and a hint of viciousness appeared in his eyes.

Ever since Liu Yang established a relationship with the Holy Alliance, his status as the sect leader has become increasingly lower. Liu Yang should have been the one to receive those three people, but the other party forcibly called him out from his retreat on the pretext of having important matters. When he thought of this, anger rose in his heart.

"If this continues, I won't be worthy of the title of Sect Leader anymore."

Having said that, he took out a sound transmission stone from his arms, and not long after, a man in black came to him.

"Master." The man in black bowed respectfully towards Ning Feiyang.

"Has the whereabouts of the force that captured the powerful people of the Holy Alliance been found?" Ning Feiyang asked lightly.

"Master, based on the clues we've obtained, we already have a clue. However, the other party is too mysterious, so we need more time to investigate."

Ning Feiyang frowned and looked at the other person, obviously dissatisfied with the answer. Just as he was about to say something, the light in the room suddenly dimmed.

He was shocked and just wanted to do something, but he heard a muffled groan in front of him. It was obvious that the man in black had been attacked.

"I heard you were looking for us?"

A voice reached Ning Feiyang's ears, causing him to tremble all over. However, he was the leader of a sect after all, so he quickly suppressed his inner panic.

"May I ask, sir, are you the mysterious and powerful person who attacked my Spirit Sword Sect that day?"

"So what? Tell us what you want from us? Think carefully before you speak. What we hate most is someone investigating us behind our backs."

Hearing the strong murderous intent in the other party's tone, Ning Feiyang did not dare to say anything else. He swallowed his saliva and bowed towards the darkness:

"I want to cooperate with you, sir. I only ask you..."

Before he could finish his words, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and was blown away.

"What qualifies you to cooperate with us?"

Suppressing the fear in his heart, Ning Feiyang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and knelt on the ground:

"Sir, your target is the Holy Alliance, and the Spirit Sword Sect now has some relationship with the Holy Alliance. I can help you trick more powerful people from the Holy Alliance to come here."

As he spoke, a breath of death suddenly enveloped him, and then he heard the sinister voice in the darkness again:

"No need. Who do you think released that magical weapon that's been making so much noise lately? Stop all your little tricks. This is just a lesson for you. Don't investigate us anymore. Otherwise, the Spirit Sword Sect won't have any reason to continue existing."
