Fairy, why bother with me? I am really a yellow-haired villain.

As the head of the Su family, Su Xinghe is fully qualified to serve as an inner sect manager in the Xuantian Sect.

Especially now that the Su family has suddenly suffered a blow, Su Xinghe feels that she needs the protection of Xuantian Sect. Her main purpose of coming back this time is to have in-depth discussions with the sect's top leaders to discuss how to strengthen the ties between the Su family and Xuantian Sect.

It seems that the talks between the Su family and the Xuantian Sect went quite smoothly, especially Sect Master Qin, who agreed very readily.

After hearing about Sect Master Qin's style from Su Xinghe, Yun Zhonghe couldn't help but sigh again. Sect Master Qin's character is really admirable.

Not only is he powerful, but he is also very good at protecting his shortcomings.

Yun Zhonghe's favorable impression towards Sect Master Qin continued to grow rapidly.

Qin Wushuang: The plan works!

The Su family's affairs have been properly handled. Su Xinghe will stay in Xuantian Sect and wait for the position assigned to her by the sect. As for the Su family, it will be temporarily handed over to her most trusted confidant to ensure that the daily operations of the family are not affected.

Su Xinghe is now in a rare free time, wondering whether he should take this opportunity to ask for leave and go out to fulfill the last wish of that predecessor.

People who practice Taoism value trust and integrity the most. They must complete what they have promised. Otherwise, it will not only leave hidden dangers, but will also have an adverse effect on their spiritual heart.

Coincidentally, Yun Zhonghe and Su Xiaoxiao also seemed to have a lot more free time.

Especially Su Xiaoxiao, she has made rapid progress in the art of refining weapons. Now she can refine weapons independently and can do it with ease without Yun Zhonghe's assistance.

Both of them have more time, which is a good time to go out and gain experience and fulfill their wishes.

Although the sect competition is approaching, if I'm only away for a day or two, it won't delay too much of my cultivation time, so I can just take it as a break.

Proper relaxation is essential to maintaining good condition.

The three of them quickly asked for leave from their commander, packed their bags, and prepared to set off for Tianhai City immediately.

……

"What?! He's just a yellow-haired guy... He's just a yellow-haired guy... There should be a limit to how fast he can get to know women! It hasn't been long, and he's already hooked up with another one!"

Mu Jixue was so angry that she stomped her feet, her face full of dissatisfaction and jealousy!

The white-haired kitten's fur has exploded.

She recalled the scene when Yun Zhonghe suddenly brought Su Xiaoxiao back. Although she felt a little unhappy at the time, she could still reluctantly accept it. After all, she was her childhood sweetheart.

But what about that woman just now? Where did she come from?!

This guy Yun Zhonghe, did he just not care about Su Xiaoxiao? He threw Su Xiaoxiao aside and went to have fun with another woman, right?

When Mu Jixue thought of this, she was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She felt like she was about to explode with anger.

I’m so angry, so angry, so angry!

The girl's figure was still deeply imprinted in Mu Jixue's mind, especially her long and beautiful legs, which made her extremely jealous.

What long legs!

Stupid Yun Zhonghe! Stupid Yun Zhonghe! Stupid Yun Zhonghe!

Do you like long legs so much?!

Mu Jixue couldn't help but look at her legs and suddenly felt deeply depressed.

"No, why would I run away secretly?"

Mu Jixue stopped abruptly and suddenly realized this problem.

When he discovered that Yun Zhonghe was involved with another girl, shouldn't he have taken quick action?

What's the point of running away in a panic?

"Ah... really, I'm so pissed off!"

Mu Jixue stood where she was, her hands clenched into fists, her teeth chattering, and she stamped her feet in anxiety.

Her heart was filled with anger and resentment, and she wanted to tell Lin Zhongyu the news immediately, tell her about Yun Zhonghe's betrayal, and then the two best friends would rush over together to grab Yun Zhonghe and ask him what was going on.

At this moment, Mu Jixue's attention was attracted by a spirit boat that broke through the air. The spirit boat broke through the sect's barrier and flew away like a silver dragon.

Mu Jixue could sense Yun Zhonghe's aura on the spirit boat.

At this moment, Mu Jixue's inner restlessness could no longer be suppressed.

She had to catch up!

Chapter 270: Turbulent Tianhai City

Tianhai City is not far from Xuantian Sect. After driving the spirit boat for a while, you can vaguely see the outline of the city, which is looming in the mountains.

The spirit boat glided lightly over the lush mountains and arrived at the city's border.

If you continue, you won't be able to fly.

It turned out that the Immortal Alliance branch in Tianhai City had recently implemented a series of strict entry and exit control measures in Tianhai City. It was said that there had been frequent vicious injury cases in Tianhai City recently. These cases were not only bizarre, but also exuded a weird atmosphere, which aroused the high vigilance of the local Immortal Alliance.

At first, there were only sporadic reports. Residents claimed that at nightfall, they witnessed monsters that looked like humans but were definitely not human, silently attacking some poultry. What was even more horrifying was that when these animals were discovered, their blood had been sucked out of their bodies, and the teeth marks left on their bodies were deep and twisted.

However, after all, it was just an attack on animals, so it did not attract attention at first. Most people blamed it on the monsters in the surrounding mountains and forests occasionally coming down the mountain to cause trouble. After all, in the world of cultivation, it is not uncommon for monsters to injure animals.

It was not until recently that innocent civilians began to be attacked that people began to panic.

Therefore, during this period, the Immortal Alliance branch in Tianhai City had to take emergency measures to strengthen security patrols, set up numerous checkpoints, and conduct strict inspections on all people entering and leaving the city to prevent accidents.

After undergoing a series of tedious identity verification and item inspections, Yun Zhonghe and the other two could only enter the jurisdiction of Tianhai City on horseback.

The Tianhai City Immortal Alliance branch temporarily banned the flight of spirit boats. In order to facilitate the travel of pedestrians, a horse rental service was specially set up near the checkpoint.

Moreover, this service is extremely user-friendly. To purchase three strong horses, one does not need to pay spirit stones, but only a few hundred taels of silver.

It would be cheaper if you rent it.

After getting used to the shockingly high prices in Xuantian Mansion, Yun Zhonghe suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when he went outside.

The prices here are a world apart from those in Xuantian Mansion. Everything seems so cheap.

The three of them rode slowly along the road leading to the center of Tianhai City. They were not in a hurry. After all, they were only here to deal with a small matter, so they had plenty of time and no need to rush.

Although the scenery along the way seemed a little bleak due to the uneasy atmosphere in the city in recent days, it had a unique flavor in their eyes.

As they walked, they could hear warnings from the checkpoints from time to time. The Immortal Alliance members were reminding passers-by not to stay outside the city for too long to avoid being attacked by strange events in the suburbs.

However, there is a Nascent Soul cultivator in the team, so there is no need to worry too much.

On the way, Su Xinghe sighed softly on his horse: "It seems that strange things have become more and more frequent recently, and the world of cultivation does not seem to be peaceful."

Yun Zhonghe nodded.

Although they were practicing in Xuantian Sect, they could occasionally hear some rumors about the world of cultivation, as if things were not very peaceful outside.

And the smaller the place, the more likely it is to be unstable.

Fortunately, Yun Zhonghe asked his family, and his mother said that Cangzhou City was very safe. His father Yun Chongtian also felt that the world was not peaceful recently, so he chose to stay at home to look after the house for a while.

Cangzhou City has a branch leader of the Immortal Alliance who is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and also a patriarch of a noble family who is at the Nascent Soul stage. Basically, there is no need to worry too much about any major chaos.

But compared with Cangzhou City, Tianhai City obviously does not have so many powerful people in charge, and most of the families in the city are only at the first-grade level. However, Su Xinghe heard that the Chen family, the top family in Tianhai City, is only among the second-grade families.

The rank assessment of the aristocratic family is not a self-promotion of the aristocratic family, but is based on the strict official assessment standards of the Immortal Alliance.

This not only requires the family to have a large enough business, but also to have enough strong people to support it in order to be evaluated.

However, it is rumored that in recent years, the Chen family has shown an industry with remarkable growth momentum, and the Chen family's business is getting better and better, especially the essential oils that have recently become popular in the entire cultivation world. It has always been one of the Chen family's main products. This wave of market opportunities has made the Chen family earn a lot of money and accumulated a lot of wealth.

With strong financial support, the Chen family was able to invest more in cultivating talents and recruiting strong people, and its strength gradually increased.

Su Xinghe asserted that the Chen family might become the first family in Tianhai City's history to enter the third-grade ranks.

"Hmm? The Chen family still only has a second-grade one? But... that senior is already in the Nascent Soul stage, right?"

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly noticed something was wrong.

Yun Zhonghe couldn't help but frown when he heard this. Since the senior in the cave was from the Chen family, the strength of the Chen family should be far more than this.

After all, the family that can cultivate a powerful Yuanying stage master has a foundation and strength that is incomparable to an ordinary second-grade family.

Su Xinghe nodded slightly. "Perhaps in the distant past, the Chen family also had its heyday, just like our Su family, we were both fourth-grade families, but later gradually declined. But since we were once fourth-grade families, the family bloodline's talent inheritance must have been preserved to a certain extent. That senior, after awakening a certain talent, perhaps chose to leave the Chen family and go to a certain sect to concentrate on cultivation, eventually achieving the Nascent Soul stage. Therefore, he couldn't always keep his daughter with him, so he had to let her stay in the Chen family."

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhonghe nodded secretly in his heart, thinking that Su Xinghe's analysis made a lot of sense.

The three of them rode their horses, slowly moving forward along the winding road, enjoying this rare moment of relaxation. Sometimes they talked and laughed, sometimes they were silent and thoughtful, enjoying this rare tranquility and freedom.

Walking and chatting.

There was a sudden glint of movement in Yun Zhonghe's eyes, but on the surface he was still talking and laughing with Su Xiaoxiao and Su Xinghe.

In fact, ever since I left the sect, I have felt a strange feeling coming from the Book of Prophecy from time to time.

The Book of Prophecy hasn't had any major reaction for a long time, and as time went by, people almost forgot its existence.

I don’t know if it’s because Yun Zhonghe is not the protagonist, so the Book of Prophecy is not very compatible with him and cannot be fully charged. Therefore, its reaction becomes weaker and weaker. Even when Yun Zhonghe wants to use it to see what his future will be like, he cannot deduce it.

It's like a device in low-power standby mode, only flashing occasionally under certain circumstances.

And now, the Book of Prophecy occasionally conveys certain reminders to Yun Zhonghe, which makes Yun Zhonghe alert.

Half a day later, Yun Zhonghe found an opportunity, left the team temporarily under the pretext of convenience, and put a concealment talisman on himself.

Soon, Yun Zhonghe found out who was following him.

Yun Zhonghe originally wanted to capture him alive to find out the truth, but the other party was obviously no ordinary person. His first move was a killing move. There was a cold and strange aura in his spiritual power, which stirred up gusts of cold wind and headed straight for Yun Zhonghe. Moreover, the other party was at the Golden Core level.

Yun Zhonghe was forced to kill him with a sword.

There was no way. The other party wanted to take his life as soon as he attacked, and his Jindan cultivation was much higher than Yun Zhonghe's. Yun Zhonghe was not strong enough to capture the other party with ease.

It is much more difficult to capture someone alive than to kill him.

When Su Xinghe and Su Xiaoxiao hurried over following the sound of fighting, they were both stunned when they saw the corpses on the ground.

Su Xinghe quickly sensed the strange aura in the air, his face darkened, and he asked in a cold voice, "Demon cultivator?"

Demonic cultivators, evil cultivators who practice evil magic techniques, are a group of crazy people who are so crazy that they will do anything to achieve their goals.

Yun Zhonghe nodded, his expression solemn: "It seems like he has been following us since we left the sect."

Su Xinghe frowned, "But wasn't there an inspection by the Immortal Alliance before? How did they get in?"

Yun Zhonghe didn't know either, but he didn't care about it. After all, the methods of the demon cultivators were often strange and unpredictable, and they might have some special means of evading detection.

He was just very curious as to why this group of demonic cultivators were following them.

Could it be that they were sent by the mastermind behind the demonic puppet that suddenly attacked Yun Zhonghe in Xuantian Sect?

maybe!

If she was really the mastermind behind this, she would never have sent only a few Jindan-stage demon cultivators to die. After all, the puppet at that time had the combat power of Yuanying-level.

It could also be that the evil cultivators from other forces are causing trouble.

The world has been a bit chaotic lately, and it's not surprising to see all kinds of monsters and demons causing trouble.

Perhaps, these evil cultivators simply wanted to attack the disciples of famous and upright sects to show their presence, or they wanted to take the opportunity to plunder some precious resources and magic weapons.

In short, Yun Zhonghe did not have much sympathy for these evil cultivators.

If you kill, kill.

Afterwards, Yun Zhonghe silently recorded all of this and left conclusive evidence with the photo stone.

After entering the city, he will report the evidence to the local branch of the Immortal Alliance, asking them to be more careful and prevent these evil cultivators from continuing to do evil.

……

Just as Yun Zhonghe and the other two used the photo stone to record some evidence and left, someone came to the person who had just been killed, took a look at the body, and whispered, "I didn't expect them to be so powerful that they could actually kill someone above their level."

A man soon appeared beside him, a sneer on his face. "After all, they're disciples of the Xuantian Sect, so it's normal for them to have some tricks up their sleeves. Forget it, don't cause any trouble! They're not easy to mess with either. Even though it's an order from above, there's no need for us to fight so hard, especially for a dead person."

"You're right." The first man nodded, as if agreeing with his companion's opinion.

The two talked for a while, completely disregarding the life or death of their companions, and soon disappeared from the spot.

As for the dead, no one cares.

As for the mission... there is no rush. They have not received any death order to capture the person immediately. If they alert the enemy now, not only will they not gain any benefit, but they may also bring themselves unnecessary trouble.

If you have the opportunity, take action; if you don’t have the opportunity, don’t force it.

……

As he walked, Yun Zhonghe involuntarily turned his head and looked behind him.
