Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

As soon as Ye Yu got off the plane to Liudao, a man with a buzz cut, a burly build, and full of energy was waiting by the car.

Upon seeing Ye Yu emerge, he stepped forward and said, "Hello, Miss Ye Yu, my name is Qiao Zhuangcheng. Commander Cui sent me to assist you."

Ye Yuchong nodded to Qiao Zhuangcheng: "Hello, I suppose Commander Cui has already told you the general situation. The Chi family is cooperating with a group of experts, and they are likely to cause a big commotion."

Qiao Zhuangcheng nodded and said, "On the way to where we were waiting for you, an expert died unexpectedly. We suspect that the Chi family was responsible."

Ye Yu frowned: "They're really fast."

Ye Yu was worried that the Fog Fiend Sect members would eat the Black Jade Lotus, and the only way to find them was through the Chi family.

"Where is the Chi family's residence? Has anything unusual happened today?" Ye Yu asked as she walked towards the car.

"According to my informant, someone dressed in unusual attire entered the Chi family's residence today." Qiao Zhuangcheng got into his car and floored the accelerator.

The car sped towards the Chi family's house like an arrow released from a bow.

In the car, Qiao Zhuangcheng said to Ye Yu, "Miss Ye, because of the regulations, we cannot intervene unless it reaches the point of crossing the 'red line.' Commander Cui said that you are exceptionally capable and outstanding. You also guessed the Chi family's plan in advance, so please stop this operation. We will cooperate with you privately."

Ye Yu turned to look out the window. Liudao is composed of several islands. It exudes island charm everywhere and displays Chinese characteristics in everything. However, it is because some people with ulterior motives are determined to cause division that Liudao has suffered serious development problems.

Ye Yu pondered to himself, "The Hidden Sect claims to be detached from worldly affairs, yet some people are colluding with them. What is the point of them establishing the Law Enforcement Hall?"

"Don't worry. China is also my home, and it's my duty to defend the country," Ye Yu replied.

Soon, the car arrived near the Chi family's home.

As soon as Qiao Zhuangcheng parked his car, a man got out of the car in front of him and said to Qiao Zhuangcheng, "Captain, the two people who went out with the Chi family are back. They just came in a little while ago."

Qiao Zhuangcheng nodded to Ye Yu and said, "Miss Ye, this is the Chi family. Many members of their family hold important positions, so the defenses are very tight. As you just heard, the people from the Mist Fiend Sect probably just returned from helping the Chi family. Please make sure you get evidence of their actions."

Ye Yu nodded and got out of the car.

She walked to the wall of the Chi family and scanned it with her divine sense. There was no one inside. She then leaped over and quietly sneaked into the Chi family's house.

Ye Yu affixed an invisibility talisman to his body and then released his divine sense to search for the members of the Mist Fiend Sect in the Chi family home.

The Chi family's residence is very large. They not only built two beautiful gardens, but also had stone bridges, flowing water, and meticulously manicured plants. It truly deserves to be the largest family on Liudao Island.

The Chi family not only had a large house, but also many soldiers guarding it.

Ye Yu stood in the corridor, sidestepping two maids carrying food, and heard them whispering, "The master said that we must treat these four guests with the utmost respect, not make them feel uncomfortable in the slightest, and grant any requests they may have. We must not offend them."

Another servant said, "I don't know who they are. They have long hair and their hair is tied up in a bun. They look like people from ancient times."

"I heard from my cousin that they are hermit masters, just like in the novels, who can fly over rooftops and have superb martial arts skills. They can kill us ordinary people with just a flick of their fingers."

"My God, is it really that amazing?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen it with my own eyes either. But we'll do whatever the master arranges, and we can't afford to offend them."

Listening to their conversation, Ye Yu knew that they were carrying food to the room of the Fog Fiend Sect members, so she followed closely behind them to a room in a Western-style building.

They knocked gently on the door, and a voice came from inside: "Come in."

Two servants went in, quietly placed the food in the table, and then left.

Hearing a sound coming from inside, Ye Yu quietly approached the window and peered through the crack.

Inside the room were only two men and one woman, dressed in black robes. They were the same people from the Mist Fiend Cult that Ye Yu had seen in the video surveillance.

All three were at the early stage of the Profound Rank. As they ate their meal, one of the men spoke up, "This matter is progressing very smoothly. Once we have fulfilled the Chi family's request, we can take the Black Jade Lotus back to the Mist Fiend Sect."

Hearing him speak, Ye Yu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Black Jade Lotus had not been eaten by them, but was to be taken back to the Mist Fiend Sect.

"Excellent! As long as the leader consumes the Black Jade Lotus, he will master the divine skill. Then, he can expand his influence within the Hidden Sect and see who dares to call us evil!" another person said excitedly.

“However, our cooperation with the Chi family has drawn us into worldly conflicts, not to mention making enemies of China. I’m worried that we might be discovered…” the only woman said.

"Don't worry, everyone will think the Chi family did it. Nobody knows it was us." A man smiled sinisterly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yu scoffed inwardly. If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. What they are doing is nothing more than burying their heads in the sand.

The woman continued, "I heard that the expert the Chi family sent us to kill today is very popular and highly regarded in China. When we came back, someone was already following us. I was afraid they would find out about us."

"Xinniang, don't worry. Even if they followed us, they only saw us enter the Chi family's residence," the man said, taking a sip of wine.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Ye Yu pushed open the door: "You lot are really good at scheming, getting the benefits and then acting innocent."

Seeing Ye Yu enter silently without their noticing, the three men immediately became wary and asked, "Who are you? How did you get in?"

Ye Yu snorted coldly, ignoring their questions, and instead asked directly, "Where is the Black Jade Lotus? Hand it over!"

Upon hearing Ye Yu ask about the whereabouts of the Black Jade Lotus, a hint of panic flashed across the faces of the group, and they were quite alarmed.

Only a few people in their sect knew about the Black Jade Lotus, and it was all a secret operation. How did this person find out and track it down here?

One of the men asked, "Who exactly are you? How did you know that Black Jade Lotus is here?"

"Who I am is not important. What's important is that you obediently hand over the Black Jade Lotus, and I might consider letting you go." Ye Yu said as she took a step forward.

"Hmph, don't even think about it! If you're so capable, come and take it yourself!" One of the men drew a long knife from his back and rushed towards Ye Yu, trying to stop her from advancing.

Ye Yu easily dodged his attack, caught the long sword he swung down with one hand, and then kicked him in the stomach. The man collapsed to the ground in pain, vomiting blood, and had no strength left to fight back.

Seeing this, the other two attacked Ye Yu together.

The woman named Xinniang stretched out her hands towards Ye Yu, and instantly more than a dozen poisoned needles shot towards Ye Yu.

Ye Yu didn't take the poisoned needles seriously at all. She pointed her finger at the incoming needles, and more than a dozen of them hovered in mid-air, motionless.

Then she waved her hand again, and the poisoned needles returned to their original paths, shooting towards Xin Niang.

Xin Niang's expression changed drastically, and she immediately dodged to the side, but she was still hit by several poisoned needles.

Another man threw a punch at Ye Yu, but Ye Yu dodged and punched him squarely in the chest, shattering his sternum with a few crisp cracking sounds.

"Where exactly is the Black Jade Lotus?" Ye Yu asked again.

“No…not here with us,” one of them said, trembling.
