239: Chapter 239 Heading to Blackwater Lake

Regarding Su Yiqing's words, Yun Chenfei only understood them partially.

He thought for a long time but could not figure out what exactly he had on him that could save Yi Kuhan and himself at a critical moment.

"Whatever, the cart will find its way when it reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally straighten itself when it reaches the bridge."

"For now, I will first go save Ran Xueyao and Lü Wenjing from Ye Xuan's hands and farm some favorability."

After pondering for a long time without reaching any conclusion, he simply stopped thinking about it.

Casually opening the storage ring Su Yiqing had given him, Yun Chenfei discovered it contained a large quantity of Medicinal Pills and Spirit Stones, as well as a set of top-grade sixth-tier Killing Formation.

Besides this, there was also a Jade Slip storing a map of the entire Great Yan Kingdom, and a personal token representing Sima Zhan.

Holding this token, he could travel unimpeded through any city except for the Forbidden Ground of the Great Yan Kingdom's imperial palace, and at critical moments, he could summon experts who owed Sima Zhan a favor to help.

It could be said that within the entire Storage Pouch, this token was the most precious. I believe I do not need to waste my breath explaining how extensive a Pill King's connections are, right?

The experts who owed him favors, while not countless, were spread throughout the entire Great Yan Kingdom, and even in the Southern Heaven Kingdom, there were quite a few people who owed Sima Zhan a favor.

"This Su Yiqing is truly thoughtful; she even prepared a map for me."

After opening the Jade Slip and checking the map of the Great Yan Kingdom, Yun Chenfei headed towards a teahouse.

If one were to ask where the fastest and most convenient place to gather information was, it would have to be a teahouse.

"Please come in, guest. Are you here for tea, or will you be dining and staying the night?"

Just as he entered the Ruyi Teahouse, a Waiter stepped forward to greet him.

"Bring me a pot of good spirit tea, and just serve a plate of spirit fruits."

After choosing a seat by the window, Yun Chenfei spoke.

"Alright, guest, please wait a moment!"

A moment later, the Waiter brought over a pot of spirit tea and a plate of spirit fruits.

Watching the endless stream of people outside the window, sipping spirit tea, eating spirit fruits, and listening to other guests talk about recent strange events, it was as comfortable as could be.

After scanning the surroundings a few times, Yun Chenfei discovered that the people in this teahouse were almost all Cultivators below the Spirit Refining Realm.

No wonder their cultivation levels were not very high; spending all day hanging out in teahouses chatting and bragging, it would be strange if their cultivation could be high.

Furthermore, the Cultivators in this teahouse did not even have any green Luck; they were all people with white Luck.

After looking around, Yun Chenfei suddenly felt a bit bored and immediately shifted his gaze to the pedestrians outside the window.

"I heard that the Saintess of the Hundred Flowers Sect has been tracking the flower-plucking thief Xing Wanli for the past two days."

"Yes, I heard that too. Yesterday, the two of them were playing cat and mouse at Black Water Lake."

"Xing Wanli was chased all the way to Black Water Lake by Ran Xueyao. It seems she is still searching for traces of Xing Wanli near Black Water Lake."

"This Xing Wanli deserves it; experts should have dealt with him long ago. I heard that Ye Xuan also went to Black Water Lake under the banner of suppressing the flower-plucking thief."

"Give me a break. Ye Xuan, that hypocrite? Would he go suppress Xing Wanli? I think he is just going to curry favor with Ran Xueyao!"

At this moment, the conversation between two Cultivators caught Yun Chenfei's attention.

Other guests nearby heard people talking about Ran Xueyao and quickly joined in, speaking vividly as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

"It seems that the news about Ran Xueyao being at Black Water Lake is true nine times out of ten."

Hearing everyone say that Ran Xueyao was at Black Water Lake, Yun Chenfei thought to himself, then left some Spirit Stones and stood up to walk out of the shop.

Meanwhile, inside the City Lord's Mansion.

"Madam, what exactly did you mean by that last sentence you said to Brother Yun?"

"Based on what I know of you, you originally did not want to say that last warning, did you?"

Looking at Su Yiqing, whose face was somewhat pale, Sima Zhan asked.

"Husband, do not ask anymore. In any case, it is best if Young Friend Yun does not have to use that thing."

"Once he uses it, the Water Moon Continent will surely face a bloody storm, and it might even be a catastrophe for the entire Eastern Land Profound Domain."

"As for what kind of catastrophe it will be, given my current cultivation, I cannot divine it. I can only roughly calculate that this disaster will be caused by the person Young Friend Yun is looking for."

Whether it was because of the backlash from leaking heavenly secrets or for some other reason, Su Yiqing's face was extremely pale at this moment.

"Madam, go and rest quickly."

Seeing this, Sima Zhan hurriedly helped her and headed towards the room.

After gathering information about Ran Xueyao, Yun Chenfei left Fengming City.

Looking at the map provided by Su Yiqing, Black Water Lake was directly south of Fengming City, which happened to be in the same direction as the Luofeng Ridge that Yun Chenfei needed to go to.

Calculating the time, the "three months later" mentioned in Lü Wenjing's personal information was also just about these past few days.

Perhaps she and Ran Xueyao were targeted by Ye Xuan near Black Water Lake.

After leaving Fengming City, Yun Chenfei took off on his Flying Sword and headed straight south.

It must be said that Fengming City was indeed the largest and liveliest city in the Great Yan Kingdom; the sky was filled with colorful escaping lights everywhere.

Some were coming out of the city just like Yun Chenfei, but most were heading towards Fengming City.

No wonder Sima Zhan and Su Yiqing were so generous; with so many Cultivators gathered here, it certainly boosted Fengming City's income quite a bit.

One day later, Yun Chenfei's figure appeared near Black Water Lake.

"Who the hell named this Black Water Lake? Are you sure this is a lake and not an ocean?"

Just seeing the boundless, magnificent lake water before him, Yun Chenfei was shocked.

The lake before him was simply too different from the lakes in his memories.

Black Water Lake was too large; even compared to most oceans on Earth, it was not much different.

No wonder that even with Ran Xueyao's strength, she lost track of Xing Wanli after following him here.

Trying to find someone in this boundless Black Water Lake was exactly like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Just like Yun Chenfei, he knew at this moment that Ran Xueyao was at Black Water Lake, but he had no way to start looking.

Originally, Yun Chenfei wanted to send a sound transmission talisman to Ran Xueyao to ask for her location, but he realized that this might change the direction of the entire matter.

This would make Ye Xuan afraid to act against Ran Xueyao, and then how could he descend from the sky at the critical moment to achieve the effect of showing off and farming favorability?

Helplessly, Yun Chenfei could only wander around aimlessly.

Stepping on his Flying Sword and looking down at the magnificent lake water below, compared to the mountains and forests he often saw, this different visual impact left Yun Chenfei intoxicated.

A moment later, two obscure auras appeared within the range covered by Yun Chenfei's Divine Sense.

Because Yun Chenfei's Divine Sense was much stronger than an average person's and covered a relatively wide range, the owners of those two auras had not discovered him so far.
