449: Chapter 449 An Old Flame Comes Knocking

The next day at dawn, morning mist drifted over the streets of Luoxie City.

Overnight, the entire city had completely exploded into chaos.

Over a dozen medium and large factions within the city had been robbed.

The contents of their treasuries were swept clean, and even Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators had noticed nothing.

Rumors flew everywhere, with everyone speculating that a hidden expert or some old monster in the city had made a move.

For a time, Luoxie City was filled with panic; major factions imposed martial Law, and the atmosphere was tense.

The victimized factions searched bitterly for the culprit to no avail and rushed to the Huiwei Wu Family stronghold to seek help.

In the main hall of the Wu Family stronghold.

Three Soul Emergence Realm Cultivators of the Wu Family listened to the report, all with grave expressions.

To break through arrays so silently and be able to conceal oneself perfectly, this was definitely not something an ordinary Cultivator could do.

They asked themselves if they could do it, and other Soul Emergence Realm Cultivators certainly could not.

Unless a Soul-Splitting Realm expert had made a move...

But which Soul-Splitting Realm expert wasn't someone of esteemed status with deep pockets?

"Could it be Senior Wang?"

As soon as this thought emerged, the three of them shook their heads in unison, feeling it was absurd.

Yes, although he had just achieved a Breakthrough, he was still a dignified Senior, a Soul-Splitting Realm expert.

Why would he do such petty, thieving things?

Furthermore, the other party had been successfully recruited by their own Soul-Splitting Realm Old Ancestor some time ago and had received a large number of rewards from the clan.

Moreover, Luoxie City could provide him with five hundred thousand blood beads every year, along with a large amount of Heaven And Earth Treasure; he was not lacking in Cultivate resources at all.

Besides, at this moment, the other party was clearly still in seclusion, stabilizing their Realm.

The three of them deduced repeatedly but could not guess the true culprit, so they could only temporarily suppress their doubts and order a strict investigation throughout the city.

...

Meanwhile, the culprit of this turmoil was hiding in a secret chamber in the City Lord's mansion, focusing on Cultivate, completely unaware of the changing winds outside.

The secret chamber was tightly sealed, with a Restriction isolating it from outside movements.

Yao Yian sat cross-legged; in his Sea of Consciousness, the Spirit Stones, blood beads, Magical Artifacts, and Secret Manuals he had looted last night were piled up like a small mountain.

"Hehe, I'm rich, I'm truly rich now."

Beside him, the twin star mirror in a golden-red dress stood with hands on her hips, her small face full of triumph:

"This Young Miss said it, follow me and you'll eat well and live well, and you still didn't believe me?"

"I believe, I believe."

Just moments ago, when splitting the loot, the twin star mirror had waved her small hand and directly taken sixty percent, tossing forty percent to Yao Yian.

Yao Yian had wanted to haggle, but after one glare from her, he could only obediently accept his fate.

Although he only got forty percent, it was still a lot, enough to study three Soul-Splitting Realm Cultivation Techniques to Minor Achievement.

The Old Ancestor of the Wu Family had given him a total of ten Soul-Splitting Realm Cultivation Techniques.

After the twin star mirror confirmed that the former had not tampered with those Cultivation Techniques, Yao Yian chose one Mind-Cultivation Technique, one blade technique, and one movement technique to study.

Once all three Cultivation Techniques reached Minor Achievement, combined with his set of Soul-Splitting Realm fist techniques that had already reached Minor Achievement, he wouldn't even put a typical Soul-Splitting Realm Early Stage Cultivator with fifty years of experience in his eyes.

If he were to bring out the two all sentient beings blades, he could directly slay them!

Beside him, the twin star mirror in golden-red clothing leaned casually, occasionally intervening to correct flaws in his energy circulation, her eyes full of triumph.

Relying on the guidance of the twin star mirror, his progress in Cultivation Techniques was advancing by leaps and bounds.

In the blink of an eye, several months passed, and that shocking theft had long been gradually forgotten.

On this day, "Senior Wang" officially came out of seclusion, sent out invitations far and wide, and held a banquet at the largest immortal restaurant in Luoxie City to celebrate.

All the notable factions and powerful figures in the city arrived, and it was bustling with noise and excitement.

As soon as the three Soul Emergence Realm Cultivators of the Wu Family arrived, they were instantly stunned in place after just a slight perception.

This Senior Wang... his Cultivation aura had actually increased by a large margin again!

Must report this to the Old Ancestor immediately!

Soon, the banquet began, and this night in Luoxie City was exceptionally lively.

During this time, "Senior Wang" spotted a beautiful Junior of the Huiwei Wu Family from the crowd of people offering congratulations and forcefully took her as his personal maid at the banquet.

When Wu Qingqing was brought to the City Lord's mansion by the other party, her whole body was tense, and her heart was beating like a drum.

She kept her head down, not daring to look directly at this Soul-Splitting Realm expert before her, her heart in a state of turmoil, filled with uneasy speculation.

But the thing she anticipated did not happen.

"Senior Wang" did not immediately do this and that to her, but instead asked about the sachet she wore on her person.

"Where did this sachet on you come from?"

Wu Qingqing was slightly taken aback, then hurriedly replied respectfully.

"Replying to Senior Wang, this item was found by this Junior by chance in a medium Epoch Battlefield."

A medium Epoch Battlefield, a battlefield with a volume no less than the Heavenly Domain, only for existences above the Silent Spirit Realm and below the Evil Yuan Human Saint Realm.

"If Senior is interested, this Junior will gift it to Senior."

"That won't do, that won't do."

Yao Yian refused repeatedly with his words, but his actions were very swift.

However, he did not want to take advantage of others for free, so he waved his large hand and directly gifted her several high-level Cultivation Techniques as compensation.

"Do you still remember the location of that place?"

"This Junior remembers."

"Very good."

Yao Yian nodded slightly.

"This is my transmission jade token, take it first. In the future, when I head to the medium Epoch Battlefield, you will accompany me."

"As you command, Senior!"

"By the way, you should understand what should be said and what should not be said..."

Thus, Wu Qingqing became the personal maid of "Senior Wang," her status rising, and her position suddenly jumping up several levels.

Originally, she could at most be considered a Junior with a little bit of Aptitude in the Huiwei Wu Family, a tool for marriage alliances with other factions in the future.

Now... it was vastly different.

As soon as Wu Qingqing returned to the Wu Family stronghold in Luoxie City, she was immediately surrounded by several Nascent Soul Elders.

Even the steward who previously did not give her a second look was now smiling all over his face, coming forward to show concern.

Everyone knew that she was now the personal maid of the Soul-Splitting Realm Senior Wang; such an identity was already incomparable to ordinary Wu Family disciples.

The three Soul Emergence Realm Old Ancestors of the Wu Family even summoned her personally and asked in detail about her experience at the City Lord's mansion.

Upon learning that Senior Wang thought highly of her, had even gifted her several high-level Cultivation Techniques, and had even promised to take her to the medium Epoch Battlefield in the future, they were all overjoyed.

Wu Qingqing herself felt like she was dreaming; in just one day, her life had been turned upside down.

City Lord's mansion, Cultivation secret chamber.

That sachet was also no ordinary object; it was inlaid with a small fragment of Heavenly Dao Law.

"twin star mirror, open your mouth, I have something tasty for you."

After studying it slightly, Yao Yian directly fed it to the twin star mirror.

A quarter of an hour later, a ding sound rang out.

This fingernail-sized fragment of Heavenly Dao Law had actually brought him a Cultivation boost comparable to five million blood beads.

"Yao Yian, the taste of this fragment is not bad."

"A place like the medium Epoch Battlefield must have many such fragments!"

"I want them! I want them!"

"Hehehe, no rush."

"If there is an opportunity, it wouldn't be impossible for us to take a trip to the medium Epoch Battlefield."

Days returned to calm, and Yao Yian continued to go into seclusion in the City Lord's mansion to study Cultivation Techniques.

...

"Buzz buzz!"

After an unknown amount of time, Yao Yian, who was in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes.

Oh no, he sensed an old flame heading towards Luoxie City.

Li Weiqing?!

Recalling this name, Yao Yian's heart first shrank violently, and subconsciously, a bit of fear arose.

After all, the scenes from when he first met Li Weiqing to being chased by her for decades were still vivid in his mind, having long ago left deep psychological trauma on him.

But in the next second, Yao Yian came back to his senses.

Feeling the Soul-Splitting Realm Cultivation within his body, a smile slowly curled on the corner of his mouth.

That's right, what is there to be afraid of?

Today's himself is no longer the Yao Yian who could only flee in a sorry state back then.

No one can speak loudly to him!

Even an old flame cannot!

With a thought, Yao Yian no longer hesitated, his figure flashed and left Luoxie City, taking the initiative to go and welcome his old flame.
