Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

After the two policemen left, another group of people came into the alley.

A beautiful woman walked around the alley, frowning as she said, "Senior brother, the people from the Heyuan Sect clearly arrived before us, so why haven't we seen any trace of them?"

"Could they not be here? Are they deliberately making us think they're here so they can chase after them alone?" another man said.

The senior brother the woman mentioned did not speak. He closed his eyes as if sensing something, and everyone held their breath and remained silent.

After a long while, the man opened his eyes and said, "Impossible. I can still feel the residual internal energy here, including the residual internal energy of that old man from the Heyuan Sect. They must have fought. Can you smell blood?"

"Yes, I can smell it. It's impossible for one person to produce this bloody smell unless there are more than ten people involved. Even after so much time has passed, the smell still hasn't dissipated!"

The senior student immediately ordered, "Everyone, split up and search to see if there are any clues."

. . . . . .

Ye Yu rushed to the mall and quickly changed her clothes to avoid others smelling the blood on her.

As soon as she stepped out of the mall, she saw the presence of many experts, and even airplanes flew overhead. Even inside the mall, there were people from ancient martial arts sects and those with supernatural abilities.

Ye Yu was unsure how much those people knew about her, so instead of taking a plane or train, she put on an invisibility talisman and hid in a truck.

The truck was loaded with clothes. Ye Yu found a comfortable position to sit down and closed her eyes to rest.

After driving for quite some time, the car stopped at the tollbooth at the highway entrance, where, as is customary, the tollbooth staff inspected the vehicle.

Ye Yu didn't move, remaining calm and composed as he sat there. The truck door was opened and then quickly closed again, and a short while later, the truck continued its journey.

After getting out of the car, Ye Yu called Cui Chengkai.

She asked Cui Chengkai for help to spread the news that the Chi family and the Mist Fiend Sect had joined forces to seize the Black Jade Lotus, thus guiding people to connect Ye Yu with the Mist Fiend Sect.

Ye Yu also called Zhao Shanyuan and asked him to notify the other families to keep an eye on the situation at the hidden gate. Once they found anything unusual, they could enter the hidden gate.

What Ye Yu needs to do next is wait for people to discover that the Mist Fiend Sect cooperated with the Chi family to obtain the Black Jade Lotus, and then put pressure on the Enforcement Hall. At that time, she can take advantage of the chaos to bring people in.

During this time, she needs to find out the true nature of Mr. Shan Chi, who arranged for Zhen Da Xiang to deceive Hei Yu Lian.

Ye Yucong only learned when he used the Soul Searching Technique on him that even Kazuma Taisho had never seen Mr. Yamada in person, and that the only person he usually contacted was a man named Konishi Hiroya.

This person is the chairman of a listed company in Nan'an. He was the one who told He Zhen Da Xiang about the news of the Black Jade Lotus and arranged for He Zhen Da Xiang to contact the Chi family, and then let the Chi family find the Mist Fiend Sect to cooperate.

"Hmph, these Japanese can only do petty theft in private," Ye Yu said with disgust.

She wanted to take advantage of the chaos in Qianmen to find out who this Mr. Shan Chi was and why he dared to scheme against her.

After entering the Hidden Gate, find Lu Zunrong of the Taiyi Sect to get the strip of cloth from him, and then go to Japan to settle accounts with this person.

Ye Yu rented a car and headed straight for Nan'an.

Ye Yu didn't arrive in Nan'an City until the afternoon. She rented an apartment in a residential area near Xiao Xihaoye's company and settled down there.

The apartment complex she rented was only a few years old, but it was in a good location with cheap rent, and it was very close to office buildings and shopping malls.

However, to Ye Yu's surprise, although the houses in the whole community were in high demand, the occupancy rate of the building she rented was extremely low.

Logically, such an excellent community environment and low rent should attract many tenants, but in reality, there are a lot of vacant rooms in this building, and the rent is still kept at a low level.

However, Ye Yu did not dwell on or investigate these unusual phenomena too much.

In her opinion, this made the whole building exceptionally quiet and serene, perfect for her cultivation.

After renting the house, she went for a walk around Konishi Hiroyuki's company until it got dark before returning to the house.

Because the building has few residents, it is relatively economical in all aspects.

Moreover, very few lights were on in the hallways and elevators, making the whole environment quite dark and gloomy.

Ye Yu stood quietly in the elevator and gently pressed the number "seven" with her finger.

As the elevator slowly ascended, she quietly extended her divine sense to roughly survey the residents' situation.

After some observation and understanding, she learned that the building had a total of twelve floors, and only two families lived on each floor.

The first and second floors are inhabited by elderly people; the third and fourth floors are empty, presenting a desolate and lonely scene; as for the fifth floor, one household is inhabited by three men.

If you count upwards, only the seventh floor where Ye Yu lives remains.

Just as her divine sense swept across the eighth floor, something caught her attention—a sturdy iron door was installed in the stairwell on the eighth floor, and the door was firmly locked, as if it were hiding some unknown secret.

She pressed the elevator buttons for floors above the eighth floor again, but there was no response. She then scanned the floors above the eighth floor with her divine sense, but no one lived there. She wondered why the elevator was locked.

The elevator quickly reached the seventh floor. Ye Yu took out her keys, opened the door, and went inside.

This apartment is about 100 square meters, with three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, one bathroom, and a balcony of about 40 to 50 square meters. The decoration style is also very nice, and the furniture is complete, but there are no personal items such as blankets.

Perhaps because the house had been uninhabited for a long time and had accumulated dust, Ye Yu cast a dust-removing spell, restoring the room to its clean state.

After a quick wash, Ye Yu lightly leaped onto the bed and sat down cross-legged.

She adjusted her own state, then formed hand seals, preparing to begin forging the weapon to be delivered to Cui Chengkai.

Just as Ye Yu was concentrating on forging the weapon, a series of "thump thump thump" sounds suddenly came from upstairs without warning.

The sound was very rhythmic and had a certain regularity, as if someone was tapping the floor with some kind of hard object, and it continued for a long time.

Ye Yu stopped what she was doing and once again released her divine sense to scan upwards.

However, to her surprise, although her divine sense could clearly perceive every corner upstairs, she did not detect anything unusual.

The upper floors were completely empty except for the neatly arranged furniture; not even a tiny mouse had ever appeared.

If that's the case, then where did that strange yet rhythmic "thump thump thump" sound come from?

Even more strangely, just as she began a full-scale search, the incessant "thump thump thump" sound suddenly stopped, and the surroundings returned to silence.

Ye Yu smiled gently and slowly withdrew her outward-released divine sense.

Although she still had doubts about the strange noise that appeared suddenly and then disappeared quietly, she did not intend to investigate it too deeply.

After all, as long as the noise from that unknown thing upstairs didn't bother her, she would pretend that nothing had ever happened.

But if the other party dares to provoke us, Ye Yu will definitely not let it off easily and will make it know what's what!
