71: Chapter 71 Rescue
Normally, faced with Fan De, A-Jiu would not have paid him any mind.
Although both were Spirit Transformation Cultivators, he, A-Jiu, had the backing of the Chaotian Spirit Realm, not to mention his origin Sect; how could Fan De compare?
However, Fan De bringing up the Fourth Master disgusted A-Jiu.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Li Yingtang and Li Yingzhen were at odds, constantly belittling and stepping on each other; that was between the two brothers.
If any outsider were to say even one word against them, the result would be Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.
"I hope Fellow Daoist Fan will not laugh, but the Chaotian Spirit Realm is vast and boundless; I truly do not know where Zhao Yi is being held."
"I was just preparing to go and ask place by place."
"To be honest, I was afraid of delaying the important business of the two Masters just now. Now that I have the help of Fellow Daoist Fan, it is truly wonderful."
A-Jiu attained the Dao in middle age and had an honest and simple appearance. If it weren't for the fact that Fan De and he were both in Anning Prefecture and understood each other, he might have really believed his nonsense.
Grabbing A-Jiu, Fan De said sternly, "Fellow Daoist, there is no need for you to wander blindly around the Chaotian Spirit Realm anymore."
"Zhao Yi is in the Lingran Realm of the Bai Family."
A-Jiu looked bewildered.
"Is that so?"
"Where did Fellow Daoist Fan get this information?"
"Let us search the Chaotian Spirit Realm first."
How could Fan De let him have his way?
He grabbed his hand and said, "Go to the Lingran Realm."
"Otherwise, I will go in and petition the Ninth Master."
Seeing that Fan De was really about to go in,
A-Jiu hurriedly stopped Fan De.
"Then let us go to the Lingran Realm first."
"It is truly strange; how did you get information that even I do not know?"
"However, going to the Lingran Realm first and then returning to the Chaotian Spirit Realm will waste time. If something goes wrong, do not blame me."
A-Jiu estimated the time, assuming that Bai Yucheng had already finished the task, so he agreed to go to the Lingran Realm.
Not long after.
Two streaks of light descended into the Lingran Realm.
The specks of divine light within those streaks of light allowed the Bai Family Cultivators to see at a glance that a Soul Transformation had arrived.
Watching the many Bai Family Cultivators greeting them in a panic, a bad premonition arose in A-Jiu's heart.
"Where is Fellow Daoist Yucheng?"
"Reporting to the Old Ancestor, the Elder is in seclusion."
"Seclusion?"
"What kind of seclusion?"
"Is now the time for seclusion?"
A-Jiu was anxious.
"Where is Bai Miyao?"
Those Bai Family Cultivators looked at A-Jiu strangely, then said with fear and trepidation, "Is Old Ancestor Mi Yao not in the Chaotian Spirit Realm?"
A-Jiu slapped his forehead.
"My fault."
"I forgot she was helping in the Chaotian Spirit Realm."
"Fellow Daoist Fan, Bai Yucheng is in seclusion. I will make the decision; you may search the Lingran Realm as you please. If you find Zhao Yi, we will complete our mission."
"If you cannot find him, we will return to the Chaotian Spirit Realm to search..."
Fan De shook his head.
"No need, I have already found Zhao Yi."
"He..."
"Is in Bai Yucheng's cultivation room."
As he spoke, Fan De did not wait for A-Jiu to react; his figure instantly disappeared,
subsequently appearing in front of the underground cultivation room of the Lingran Realm.
"Important Bai Family grounds, no unauthorized personnel allowed!"
"Get lost!"
Without even looking, Fan De slapped the Golden Core Cultivator in front of him away and kicked open the door of the cultivation room.
Before A-Jiu could react, he entered the cultivation room.
"Zhao Yi~"
Upon entering the cultivation room, Fan De saw Zhao Yi with a ruddy complexion, and next to him was a Bai Yucheng with a withered aura.
What is this situation?
Fan De was completely baffled; the situation in the cultivation room seemed completely different from what he had imagined.
According to his guess, even if Zhao Yi had not lost his life, he should have lost all his cultivation or suffered heavy injuries, not like this now, with a ruddy complexion, as if someone had been healing him.
Bai Yucheng?
Didn't these two have a grudge?
A-Jiu, who followed him in, saw the situation in the cultivation room and, without a moment's hesitation, sent a blade of light flying towards Zhao Yi,
but Fan De was right beside him; how could he let him have his way? He pinched a spell with both hands.
"Water and Wood Brilliance."
A curtain of light protected Zhao Yi.
"Bang!"
The blade of light struck Fan De's protective spell, emitting a heaven-shaking sound.
Bai Yucheng, who was originally closing his eyes to heal, was startled by this and sprayed a mouthful of old blood several meters away.
"Who is ambushing this old man?"
He struggled to open his eyes to look and discovered it was A-Jiu and Fan De. He could no longer hold on and fainted completely.
Fan De spread his hands,
"This cannot be blamed on me."
After finishing, he confirmed Zhao Yi's state and found that he was exhausted, not cultivating, so he carried Zhao Yi and soared into the air.
"I am taking him to see the Fourth Master."
A-Jiu looked at Bai Yucheng with an angry face,
"Trash!"
Although he was scolding him, his hands did not stop; he took out a jade bottle and poured it directly into Bai Yucheng's mouth.
No one knew what was in that jade bottle, but after drinking it, it was immediately effective.
Bai Yucheng groaned and slowly woke up.
"What is going on with you?"
"Why is your Primordial Spirit injured?"
"Also, I told you to kill Zhao Yi; why did you not do it?"
Facing A-Jiu, Bai Yucheng did not know how to explain.
Should he say directly that because he was searching his soul, he was bitten by the dog in Zhao Yi's Sea of Consciousness and injured his Primordial Spirit?
If he said that out loud, wouldn't it be a joke?
Furthermore, Bai Yucheng coveted Zhao Yi's many secret arts, so he chose to conceal it.
"A-Jiu, that kid has a secret art protecting his body; I was careless for a moment and fell into his scheme."
"However, it is not a big problem. Give me a few more days, and I will definitely be able to obtain the Spirit Stone Digging Secret Art."
"As for killing him..."
"I did not receive any notification from the Ninth Master."
A-Jiu...
"The Fourth Master has come to Anning Prefecture. Just now, Fan De has already rescued Zhao Yi. You have ruined the Ninth Master's important matter; wait for your punishment."
Why did he wake Bai Yucheng up? He was afraid he was faking his injury.
Now that Bai Yucheng had recovered, A-Jiu's figure disappeared; he still had to return to report.
In the cultivation room, only Bai Yucheng and a Golden Core True Person, Bai Rensen, who was unconscious, remained.
"Rensen, wake up now."
Bai Yucheng 'woke' Bai Rensen.
After Bai Rensen woke up, his brain seemed not to be working well; he hugged Bai Yucheng,
"Old Ancestor, Old Ancestor, news came from the Chaotian Spirit Realm to kill Zhao Yi immediately."
"Seeing that your Qi was not right, I thought I would deal with him myself."
"But he is too hard to kill."
"I exhausted all methods and still could not kill him. I could not suffocate him to death, nor could I cut off his head..."
"Old Ancestor, I have truly exhausted all methods."
Bai Yucheng...
He took a deep breath. These were all descendants of the Bai Family and could not be killed, especially now that the Nascent Soul True Monarchs had died out, and they relied on these Golden Core True Persons to keep up appearances.
"What a piece of trash!"
"Wait until I return to deal with it."
The matter entrusted by Li Yingtang was not done well, and he did not know what punishment awaited him.
Bai Yucheng could not sit still and hurriedly headed for the Chaotian Spirit Realm.
At this time in the Chaotian Spirit Realm, Li Yingzhen had a calm face, and one could not tell what she was thinking.
Li Yingtang looked as if he had seen excrement, his face full of disgust.
In front of the two of them lay Zhao Yi, and standing there bowing were A-Jiu and Fan De,
as well as Bai Yucheng, who had rushed over and knelt on the ground.
"What is going on with Zhao Yi?"
Seeing the atmosphere becoming increasingly stiff, Li Yingzhen broke the silence and asked.
"Reporting to the Fourth Master, Zhao Yi has overexerted his physical strength."
"Otherwise, there is no major problem."
