371: Chapter 371 The Overturning Shark

Su Lianxue was also quite concerned about the clash between the Righteous and Demonic Paths.

Especially regarding those related to their Yuanxu Mountain.

As far as she knew, a portion of Yuanxu Mountain's forces had clashed with the Soul Refining Sect, one of the major Sects of the Demonic Path.

Among the forces dealing with the Soul Refining Sect were Disciples from Hidden Sword Peak.

Senior Brother Su Chi was likely among them.

The Soul Refining Sect was an evil demonic Sect skilled in manipulating the Divine Souls of others. In the clash five hundred years ago, many Disciples of their Yuanxu Mountain had died at the hands of the Soul Refining Sect.

This time, she was afraid Su Chi wouldn't return.

And then his childhood friend would remain in a brothel forever.

This was not the story she wanted to see, nor the reality she wanted to witness.

“Don't worry.”

Lin Ming shook his head.

“Senior Brother Su will be fine.”

...

Yuanxu Mountain

Main Peak

Sect Master Yun Xiao was seen playing a game of Go against a woman.

“Senior Martial Aunt, I have troubled you.”

Sect Master Yun Xiao said to the woman.

“It is only right.”

The woman didn't seem to mind at all and said,

“As for you, you still have the leisure to play chess with me.”

The woman said.

A piece was placed.

The momentum of a Great Dragon rose toward the heavens.

“Now is not yet the time,”

Sect Master Yun Xiao said.

A black piece was placed.

A dragon-slaying momentum rose, directly severing the formed Great Dragon.

“As expected, I am no longer your match in this regard, and neither was your Revered Master.”

The woman shook her head.

She directly conceded.

“Compared to Revered Master, I am still far off,”

Sect Master Yun Xiao said with a calm expression.

“The corpse of the Formless Demon Ancestor must be found.”

The woman suddenly said.

“We will.”

Sect Master Yun Xiao said slowly.

However, the opponent had released many decoys, making it very difficult for them to calculate the location of the Formless Demon Ancestor's corpse.

But that didn't mean they were without options.

It would just be much more troublesome.

Moreover, the Formless Demon Ancestor was likely only a part of their plan.

“Senior Martial Aunt, I have some news here, news regarding Junior Martial Uncle Beiwang.”

Sect Master Yun Xiao turned around and looked at the woman.

At the mention of this name, the woman's expression instantly became serious.

... ,

“No reply?”

Liu Shu frowned.

That Lin Ming hadn't paid them any attention and had simply ignored them.

What was the meaning of this?

Liu Shu suddenly had an ominous thought.

“Family Head, they said they want to change their taste; they want something fresh and tender.”

A man suddenly walked in and spoke with an indifferent, numb expression.

“Hmph...”

Liu Shu snorted coldly.

The appetites of these fellows were becoming a bit too large.

“I understand,”

Liu Shu said in a heavy voice.

Once certain things are done, it becomes difficult to stop.

...

In the small courtyard,

“The taste is getting worse and worse.”

She Shu said as he drank tea.

The ground in front of him had obvious marks, like the traces of some creature struggling violently.

“A bunch of useless trash, have they still not found it?”

She Shu said coldly.

He hadn't come out to sea to play.

He had to produce results.

Only then could he increase his standing in the eyes of his father, His Majesty the Snake Emperor.

That was why he had taken the initiative to accept this mission.

But there was still no progress, which made him gradually become impatient and irritable.

Not far from She Shu, a person stood quietly watching him.

“The Liu family.”

It seemed this Liu family was a bit more show than substance.

“My Lord.”

At this time, a man walked in and stood before She Shu.

“Speak quickly.”

She Shu said impatiently.

“A girl from the Huaqing Pavilion, after our extensive investigation, should be the person you are looking for, My Lord.”

The man then spoke.

The man also pulled out a portrait.

The portrait depicted Xiao Yun's appearance.

“Bring her here.”

She Shu glanced at Xiao Yun's portrait and said.

Whether it was her or not, he just needed to verify it.

Huaqing Pavilion.

This place indeed had a background.

However, that background was now gone. For a brothel without a background, dealing with it was a simple matter.

“Yes.”

The man nodded.

It was also at this time that Liu Shu entered.

“Young Revered Master Shu.”

After entering, Liu Shu immediately greeted She Shu.

“Family Head Liu, just in time. Bring the person in this portrait to me; she is at the Huaqing Pavilion.”

She Shu glanced at Liu Shu and said.

The Liu family was a pawn; it would be a waste not to use them.

If not for them—

“Returning to the mountain just like that?”

Su Lianxue said upon hearing this.

“Of course, the mission is complete, it's about time to go back.”

Lin Ming nodded.

“Tch, Senior Brother, do you really think I don't know what your mission was?”

Yu Yaoqin complained.

“Delivering a letter to Senior Brother Su Chi, and it took this long?”

“Of course, Lady Lan Qin is the top courtesan of the Huaqing Pavilion. I had to wait a long time for an appointment.”

Lin Ming said with a straight face.

“Tch...”

Yu Yaoqin let out another disdainful sound.

If her Senior Brother hadn't revealed his identity, perhaps that would be true.

But Senior Brother's identity was practically common knowledge in Dongchao City.

She didn't believe that with Senior Brother's status, he couldn't get an appointment with a brothel's courtesan.

“Alright, Junior Sister. The situation ahead is unfavorable; perhaps we will also have to go to the front lines to fight for the Sect.”

Lin Ming said.

“Stinky Senior Brother, we came here this time with a mission.”

Yu Yaoqin said with a look of pride.

“A mission?”

Lin Ming's first reaction upon hearing Yu Yaoqin's words was disbelief.

He looked toward Su Lianxue.

Su Lianxue nodded in response, indicating that Yu Yaoqin was telling the truth.

“Stinky Senior Brother, you actually doubted me!”

Yu Yaoqin's cheeks puffed up as she looked at Lin Ming with dissatisfaction again.

She pulled out a token and flashed it before Lin Ming's eyes.

“The Sect Leader's Token?”

Lin Ming looked surprised upon seeing the token.

The token in Yu Yaoqin's hand was indeed the Sect Leader's Token representing the head of Yuanxu Mountain.

“How about that, Stinky Senior Brother?”

Yu Yaoqin said.

“You have a lot of nerve, stealing the Sect Leader's Token.”

Lin Ming said immediately.

“Stinky Senior Brother, who could possibly steal the Sect Leader's Token?”

Yu Yaoqin said.

This was the token of their Yuanxu Mountain's leader, the Nirvana Ancestor's token; it wasn't something she could steal just because she wanted to.

“Just kidding.”

Lin Ming chuckled and said.

He naturally knew that.

It was just a small joke.

“What kind of mission would be given to you?”

Lin Ming asked curiously.

Lin Ming was curious about what mission their Sect Head would assign to Yu Yaoqin.

The burly man's actions were immediately noticed by the other mermen.

A group of mermen then headed toward the burly man.

“I don't have time to play with you lot.”

The burly man said coldly.

Just a bunch of small fry who haven't even reached the Other Shore Realm.

Liu Han fell heavily to the ground.

A trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and his expression revealed a hint of fear.

“I... I don't know.”

“Don't know?”
