Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

The police arrived quickly and began asking questions.

One of the men stepped forward and explained to the police, “Officer, here’s what happened. Last night, I had arranged to go out for a few drinks with another buddy to relax. We invited him too, but he said he had to get up early for work the next day, so he declined. We didn’t insist and went off to have some fun. But who would have thought that this morning, just as dawn was breaking, we passed by here and found his door tightly shut. Worried that he might oversleep and be late, we went over to try and open the door to see what was inside. And then…” The man shuddered as he finished speaking, as if the terrifying scene was flashing before his eyes again.

After listening to the man's account, the lead police officer sighed and said, "Sigh, this isn't the first time something like this has happened in this building. We still haven't been able to find the real cause of those previous cases. For everyone's safety, you should pack your things and move out as soon as possible. Don't continue living here."

On the other side, Ye Yu and Song Tai cooperated with the police to complete a detailed statement. Afterwards, they turned and walked upstairs together.

As Ye Yu walked, reflecting on everything she had just witnessed, she thought to herself, "Could it be that evil spirit that came down last night? Judging from the gruesome death of that person on the fifth floor, it's highly likely that thing was behind it! No, I can't let it continue to run rampant like this. Tonight, I must go upstairs myself to investigate. If there really is something unclean here, humph! Then don't blame me for being impolite. I'll just eliminate it and stop it from disturbing my cultivation every night!"

Seeing Ye Yu's serious expression, Song Tai advised, "Miss Ye, why don't you move out? It's really dangerous here since something like this happened and the culprit hasn't been found."

Ye Yu smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, but finding a place will take some time, so I'll have to stay here for now."

After listening, Song Tai nodded and said, "Alright, if you find anything wrong, remember to come to me."

After thanking her again, Ye Yu turned and went back to her room.

Song Tai went back to his room, grabbed a bag, and went out, presumably to work.

In the dead of night, the clock hands quietly pointed to the number eleven, and the stillness of the night was once again broken by a sudden noise.

Ye Yu instantly spread her divine sense rapidly in all directions like a tidal wave. A moment later, she noticed that the elevator, which had been quietly stopped on the seventh floor, had begun to rise automatically, heading straight for the top floor!

Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yu flashed and gracefully stood on her own balcony.

With a slight push of her toes, she floated up like a feather and landed steadily on the eighth-floor balcony in the blink of an eye.

Unlike Song Tai, she wouldn't need to climb up the balcony.

At this moment, the moonlight was hazy, casting a faint glow that barely illuminated the balcony on the eighth floor.

In the dim light, Ye Yu could clearly see several distinct footprints on the ground, the shape and size of which were exactly the same as the ones left by Song Tai last night.

Just then, Ye Yu unexpectedly discovered two other faint footprints next to it.

These two footprints were very strange; they appeared suddenly and then disappeared without warning, as if they came and went without a trace.

Could it be that after Song Tai left, other people visited this place?

At this moment, in an unfinished building in the suburbs of Nan'an, three men were gathered, one of whom was Song Tai.

“We originally had two more months, but I felt I might not be able to wait that long, so I plan to go back in the next few days.” The speaker was an older man.

He was handsome and refined, exuding an air of scholarly elegance, and his demeanor subtly conveyed a sense of noble inviolability.

Hearing this, another man said, "But Senior Brother Song Ling, we haven't found anything yet. Besides, Junior Sister Luo Fang has only been out for a short time. I heard her say that this experience has been very beneficial to her cultivation. We rarely have the opportunity to go out and train. Wouldn't it be a waste to go back before the time is up? Why don't we wait a little longer..."

“We can’t wait any longer. The recent appearance of the ‘Black Jade Lotus’ has swarmed the secular world with people from hidden sects. This thing is incredibly precious; it’s a rare medicinal herb even in our region. Moreover, I’ve heard that the Heyuan Sect has also come out. If we stay here, we’re very likely to run into them. Sun Luofang isn’t from our sect to begin with; she can stay if she wants. It’s none of our business.” Song Ling spoke decisively, clearly disagreeing with the man’s words.

"But senior brother..." The man seemed to want to say something more, but seeing Song Ling's furrowed brows, he looked at her with an expression that left no room for refusal.

He turned his head and saw Song Tai standing silently to the side, and immediately asked, "Senior Brother Song Tai, what do you think? Do you also want to continue training here?"

Seeing the hope in his eyes, Song Tai turned to Song Ling and said, "Senior brother, I have learned a lot here, and I have a feeling that if I have another month, I will be able to find what I am looking for. However, if you think we should go back, then I will listen to you and follow your arrangements."

The man was so angry when he heard Song Tai's words that he stomped his feet.

Hearing Song Tai's words, Song Ling smiled with relief. After thinking for a moment, he sighed and said, "Alright, then we'll wait another month. If you haven't found anything by then, Junior Brother Song Tai, we'll go back."

Upon hearing his senior brother change his tune, the man immediately beamed with joy again.

Song Ling then cautioned, "Although you'll learn a lot from your experience outside, you still need to be careful. People in this mortal world may be weak, but they are cunning and treacherous, and you can easily fall into their traps. Not to mention that many people from the Hidden Sect have come out now, so you must be especially careful."

Upon hearing Song Ning's instructions, Song Tai and the man replied simultaneously, "Yes, senior brother, we understand."

Watching the man happily leave, Song Tai looked at Song Ling with some confusion and asked, "Senior brother, given your temperament, once you said you were going back, you were definitely going to go back. Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Song Ling sighed and looked at her junior brother, who had disappeared into the distance, and said, "Junior Brother Song Tai, have you noticed any changes in your junior brother Song Zhao?"

"Changes? I haven't noticed anything. What happened, Senior Brother?" Song Tai asked in surprise.

Song Ling frowned and said, "I only realized it later. Junior Brother Song Zhao has lost his essence. If we go back now, he will definitely be punished. So I don't know what to do."

Song Tai was very surprised: "What? The woman with him is... Junior Sister Luo Fang?"

Song Ling sighed again: "It should be her. Sun Luofang looks weak and aloof, but I always feel that she is very scheming. She clearly knows the rules of our sect. If she really loved Junior Brother Song Zhao, she wouldn't have been so reckless as to let him lose his essence."

After a pause, Song Ling continued, "Let's not talk about this for now, Junior Brother. You must remember not to trust others easily, especially beautiful women. You can't outsmart them. Your goal now is to find the item. If anything happens, remember to contact me."

"Senior brother, I know. I stay far away from any beautiful woman." As he said this, Song seemed to remember something, and his expression suddenly became a little anxious.

"Junior brother, what's wrong?" Song Ling looked at him in surprise.

Song Tai quickly said, "It's nothing. I just remembered I have some things to take care of at work today. I'll be going now, senior brother. I'll come find you when I have time." After saying that, Song Tai turned around and ran out.
