Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

“We also have men lying in ambush outside the village gate. I’ll come in first to gather information and see what the Yang Gang is up to here,” Ye Yu said without changing his expression.

The old man also felt that Ye Yu wouldn't have come here alone if he didn't have a backup plan.

He nodded and said, "I can tell you anything you want to know."

Ye Yu didn't stand on ceremony and asked directly, "How many people from the Yang Gang are here?"

There are more than seventy people in total.

Why are they stationed in your village?

Upon hearing Ye Yu ask this question, the old man sighed: "In the end, this is still a matter within our village."

Ye Yu looked at him, gesturing for him to continue.

"The leader of the Yang gang is Yue Yong. He was originally from our village, but when he was in his twenties, he couldn't bear the poverty in the mountains and resolutely left the village to work elsewhere."

"One day five years later, he collapsed at the entrance of the village, covered in wounds. He was seen by us villagers who were out farming, and they took him to the priest, who saved him."

"He stayed with the priest for half a month and then left the village. We didn't see him for a long time after that, until one day he brought a group of people and settled in our village."

“He imprisoned all of us, forbidding us from leaving the village except to go out to farm at fixed times each day. And he and his men would occasionally bring things back to the village.”

"It was only several months later that we heard from his men that those things were stolen from outside."

"The priest was so angry when he found out what he had done that he collapsed. Now he can't even eat. We asked that beast to get medicine to treat the priest, but he refused."

After listening, Ye Yu asked, "You mean Yue Yong? Since he grew up in the village, why doesn't he have any feelings for it? And why did he imprison you?"

"That's just his nature, cold and ruthless, you can't warm his heart. Maybe he thinks our village is in this primeval forest, and it's hard for others to find us."

Ye Yu sensed that the old man was hiding something, but she had no desire to investigate further, so she didn't ask any more questions.

She said, "Could you give me a general description of their layout, and where Yue Yong is located?"

"I can take you there!"

Ah Ye, who had been sitting in the corner, suddenly spoke.

Ye Yu turned to look at him and said with a smile, "Alright, then take me to scout out the way."

Seeing Ye Yu stand up, the old man asked, "May I ask what your name is?"

"Just call me Ye Yu."

“Okay, Ye Yu. There’s one thing you must be careful about: never get too close to Yue Yong. His hearing seems to be very sharp; he can hear things from far away. Also, he’s incredibly skilled; he can shatter ten-inch-thick rocks with a single punch. Be very careful.”

Hearing the old man say this, Ye Yu felt that Yue Yong, the leader of the Yang Gang, was a bit strange. If someone could shatter a ten-inch-thick stone with one punch, then only someone with internal strength like Shen Xing could do it.

Ye Yu nodded: "Thank you for the reminder, I will be careful."

After saying that, she turned to look at A-Ye. A-Ye opened the door, looked around, and then walked out with Ye Yu.

Aye led Yeyu past the crowd, quietly passing through most of the village, and arrived at several houses.

He squatted down under one of the houses, pointed inside, and whispered, "There are six people playing cards inside."

Ye Yu scanned the area with her divine sense and indeed there were six people. She gave A Ye an appreciative look, placed one hand on the railing of the second-floor house, and climbed up.

Then he kicked open the door, and before the people playing cards inside could react, five of them were shot to death with bone needles.

Ye Yu stepped forward and snapped the neck of another person with a 'crack'.

The entire movement was clean and efficient, taking less than a minute.

As Aye climbed the stairs to the second floor, he saw six corpses lying on the ground. His usually calm face showed a look of surprise.

Ye Yu turned to look at him: "Take me to the next place."

So, under A-Ye's guidance, Ye Yu silently killed the Yang Gang members who were playing cards, drinking, and sleeping in the village.

Ah Ye's gaze towards Ye Yu changed from initial shock to admiration.

Finally, Aye pointed to a building in the very center and said, "That's where Yue Yong lives. There are four people patrolling outside his building, so we don't dare get too close."

Doesn't he go out much?

Aye looked up at the sky: "He's almost at the high priest's place."

"Why did he go to the high priest?" Ye Yu asked curiously.

Aye shook his head and said, "I'm not quite sure about that. Although Maibo said that Yue Yong refused to give the medicine to save the priest, he visits him every day at this time."

Ye Yu nodded thoughtfully.

Sure enough, they hadn't been standing there for long when the door to the building where Yue Yong was located opened.

A man in his early thirties, with a lean build, wearing a training uniform, and slanted eyes, came out.

He went downstairs, opened the door of a building not far to his right, and went inside.

Ye Yu lowered her head and whispered to A Ye, "Leave here first, and come back in half an hour. If you see the four patrolmen lying on the ground, it means I have killed Yue Yong, and your village is safe."

Aye nodded vigorously: "I understand."

"Well, you go."

Seeing that Aye had quietly walked away, Ye Yu first killed the four patrolmen, then concealed his presence and quietly went up to the building where the priest was located.

She leaned against the window of the building, listening intently to the sounds coming from inside.

A very old and haggard voice came from inside: "I've said it many times, you've taken all the spirit stones, I don't have any here."

"Old man, you're really stubborn. You're about to die, but you still can't bear to take it out and use it."

"You must have some clues, right? Where did the spirit stone come from? Who found it?"

“If I really had any clues, I would have brought them out when you threatened me with the people from the village.”

"Hmph, I promised you before that as long as you hand over all the spirit stones, I wouldn't touch them. But now I've changed my mind. You wouldn't just stand by and watch them die, would you?"

"You! I've given you all the spirit stones anyway, and I don't have any clues. Kill me if you want."

Ye Yu, who was leaning against the window, suddenly became a little more rapid when she heard the word "spirit stone". Could the spirit stone they were talking about be the spirit stone she needed for cultivation?

Just as Ye Yu's thoughts were racing, her expression changed, and she immediately turned and hid to the side.

The next second, the window she had been standing in was knocked off by a strong gust of wind, leaving only a window frame.

Ye Yu looked up and saw Yue Yong standing by the window with a gloomy expression, staring down at her: "Who are you?"
