Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

When Ye Yu received Song Tai's call, she was on her way to Shenxianjia.

When Song Tai told her that his senior brother wanted to see her, Ye Yu readily agreed and arranged a time and place with Song Tai.

When Ye Yu arrived at Shenxianjia, it was already afternoon, so she went directly to the restaurant where Zhao Yuxuan and the others were.

She opened the door to the private room and saw that everyone sitting at the table was looking at her.

The first to speak was Zhao Yuci, who exclaimed loudly, "Ye Yu, you're finally here! I'm starving, but those guys insisted on waiting for you to arrive before we started eating. Come on, come sit down."

Ye Yu glanced around the room and saw that in addition to the Zhao brothers, Zhao Yuxuan and Zhao Yuci, there was Mu Qingchuan from the Feng Hua Sect, Ding Junning from the Ding family, and Wu Xinrui from the Wu family.

They were all people who had previously participated in the leadership transition competition.

Ye Yu chuckled lightly: "Looks like they're all old acquaintances!"

She stepped forward and sat in the seat that everyone had specially reserved for her. Without wasting any words, she said directly, "I plan to take you in after dark. But there are some things I need to make clear to you beforehand."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Ye Yu, listening intently as she spoke: "First, do not use your real names after you go in. After all, your families have some connection with the Hidden Sect. If your identities are exposed, you will be expelled at best, and at worst, you may be eliminated."

"Secondly, put away your airs of being young masters and young ladies. You're going in to seek opportunities and learn martial arts. Martial prowess is paramount in the Hidden Sect, there are many sects and experts. Although I promised to protect you as much as possible, that's only to the best of my ability. I hope you'll take care of yourselves."

"Third, once inside, you're likely to be in different sects, and there's no network signal inside. So we need to come up with a way to contact each other, but we can discuss that once we're inside."

"Finally, after we finish eating, we're going to go to a nearby photo studio to buy some clothes. The lifestyle and clothing there are very similar to those of people in ancient times, so we should do as the Romans do."

After listing these requirements in one breath, Ye Yu picked up her teacup, took a sip, and continued, "If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask."

The most enthusiastic was Zhao Yuci, who exclaimed excitedly, "Hey, Ye Yu! You said we have to dress like ancient people, but what about our hair? We can't just make it grow long all at once! Are we going to have to wear wigs?"

Ye Yu said, "No need. Many of the men inside have short hair, so there's no need to worry about that."

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingchuan 'whoosh' opened the folding fan in his hand and said, "Am I not born to enter the Hidden Gate?" He looked quite confident.

Everyone looked him up and down; his outfit did indeed fit the style of the Hidden Sect.

Zhao Yuci stared at him with shining eyes, then got up and squeezed next to Mu Qingchuan, hooking her arm around his neck and saying, "Brother, we're about the same size, how about you give me some clothes to wear?"

Mu Qingchuan said with a look of disdain, "Do you know how expensive my clothes are? And I didn't bring many sets with me. Why don't you go out and buy some later?"

"Look at you, so stingy! I saw it all. You dragged a huge suitcase and barely have any clothes. Who are you trying to fool?" Zhao Yuci said.

Hearing their conversation, Ye Yu nodded and said, "We're going to sneak into the Qianmen while things are in disarray, so don't bring too much stuff, or at least not bring anything at all."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, everyone had some questions for Ye Yu, and she answered them patiently.

After dinner, everyone went to a nearby photo studio to buy clothes, mainly Ding Junning and Wu Xinrui.

The brothers Zhao Yuxuan and Zhao Yuci wore Mu Qingchuan's clothes, while Ye Yu already had clothes.

This delay caused darkness to fall.

After everyone's luggage was packed, Ye Yu glanced around and then led them toward the entrance.

Having learned from the previous experience, Ye Yu was quite adept at this.

She skillfully avoided the areas fraught with danger and chose a shortcut, which significantly increased the speed of the entire group's progress.

Along the way, Ye Yu and his group also encountered two other groups of people who were also rushing to Qianmen.

Seeing that Ye Yu and the others were quite familiar with the route and acted quickly and methodically, these people had fewer doubts.

After exchanging a brief greeting, the two sides went their separate ways and continued on their way.

Seeing this, Ye Yu seized the opportunity to quietly lead the group to follow behind the two groups. This would not only better conceal their whereabouts and avoid unnecessary trouble, but also allow them to utilize the path cleared by the people ahead, further improving their travel efficiency and speed.

About two hours later, the group finally stood in front of two towering ginkgo trees.

It was the dead of night, and the surroundings were pitch black, so dark that one couldn't see their own hand in front of their face. Fortunately, a hazy moon hung high in the sky, and by its faint light, Zhao Yuxuan and the others could still vaguely make out the shapes of the two ancient ginkgo trees in front of them.

They stood there like two towering giants, their lush, dense foliage stretching out and intertwining to form a natural green dome. Even the bright moonlight could not penetrate this dense canopy, unable to cast its rays upon the ground.

Ye Yu stopped and whispered to the crowd, "This is where the entrance to the submerged surface is located."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuxuan and the others tensed up, their expressions becoming strained. Without hesitation, they followed closely behind Ye Yu, heading towards the area between the two ginkgo trees.

The moment everyone stepped into that area, the scene before them suddenly changed; the originally quiet and dark space was abruptly replaced by a tall stone gate.

The two stone doors were pushed open by the people in front, revealing a straight passage.

The passage was deep and somewhat narrow, with oil lamps emitting a dim yellow light placed at intervals on the walls on both sides, instantly brightening the originally dark passage.

Ye Yu glanced at the crowd, then quickly gave them a look, signaling them to follow closely behind.

Seeing this, the others quickly quickened their pace to catch up, afraid of falling behind. After everyone had successfully entered the passage, a slight sound came from behind, and the heavy stone door slowly closed automatically.

Zhao Yuci was clearly excited about what was happening before him. Unable to contain his curiosity, he lowered his voice and said to Ye Yu beside him, "Wow, Ye Yu, this place is just like in the TV dramas, it's so mysterious. I never imagined that we would need such a mechanism to enter. Tell me, how does that heavy stone door close automatically?"

Before Ye Yu could answer Zhao Yuci's question, Zhao Yuxuan, who was standing to the side, whispered a reprimand: "Yuci, don't talk nonsense. The echoes in this passage are very strong. If some expert with exceptional hearing accidentally hears what you say, they will become suspicious of us!"

After his brother's reminder, Zhao Yuci immediately realized that his behavior was inappropriate. He quickly covered his mouth with his hand and nodded repeatedly to show that he had realized his mistake and would never speak carelessly again.

Ye Yu led the group forward, and after a while, they saw a group of people surrounding the gatekeeper.

She gestured for everyone to stop and look at the situation not far away.

To pass the gatekeeper's check, one must insert a card belonging to the corresponding sect. She used the Taiyi Sect card to enter and the Deyi Valley card to exit.

However, if they were to use it now, they would likely be exposed immediately, and Zhao Yuxuan and the others didn't have any cards.

Therefore, Ye Yu planned to kill the gatekeepers and then frame the Fog Fiend Cult.

Just then, a loud shout suddenly came from the group: "Catch them! They're from the Mist Fiend Cult, trying to slip through and escape!" The shout exploded like thunder in the crowd, instantly causing a huge uproar.

In an instant, the previously calm and orderly crowd descended into utter chaos. People frantically pulled out all sorts of weapons they carried, and in the blink of an eye, swords flashed and clashed, and shouts of battle echoed throughout the passage.

The passage was already narrow, but now it was even more congested with people. Seeing that they could not escape through the passage, the members of the Mist Fiend Sect made a decisive move. They pushed open the tightly closed door and ran away like stray dogs.

This unexpected turn of events actually did Ye Yu and her group a huge favor. Without hesitation, Ye Yu turned around and shouted to the crowd behind her, "Everyone, quickly draw your weapons and follow me to chase after the Fog Fiend Cult members!"

The group reacted quickly, each drawing their weapons and following closely behind Ye Yu. Zhao Yuci and Mu Qingchuan ran, shouting repeatedly, "Don't run! Stop right there!"

The fight was so chaotic that no one had time to pay attention to anything else.

Even the guards at the gate were thrown into chaos. In the ensuing melee, two guards were injured and fell to the ground, completely unable to stop Ye Yu and the others.

And so, with no one stopping them, Ye Yu and her group rushed out the door with unstoppable momentum.
