Chapter 369: Chapter 183 Young Master, Scholar_3

He also used the Forget Sorrow Talisman to erase the unpleasant experiences of the children who had been sent back home from the Taiping Sect.

Yu Tiancheng had originally planned to summon the souls of those from the Taiping Sect and erase their memories, but when he tried to summon the souls, he couldn’t summon even one.

"Could it be that the Scholar has already dealt with it?" he wondered, without giving it much thought.

On the day the meeting of Independents ended, a few strangers arrived at Phoenix Ridge.

They were weary from travel, and as soon as they arrived at Phoenix Ridge, they immediately cast the Soul Summoning Talisman. When that failed to summon any souls, they cast the Seeking Person Talisman and the corpse-finding charm.

One of them approached the mountain gate and burned incense to consult the Divine Beasts guarding the gate, but Chen Shi had destroyed them, thus they received no response.

Having no other choice, they went down the mountain to inquire in the nearby villages and towns, but the villagers and townspeople had no recollection of these events.

Unable to find any useful information, the group wrinkled their brows and gathered to discuss, "The young master sent us to find the murderer and to locate that box of Resurrection Lotus. Now that we have found out nothing, how can we go back and report?"

"As long as someone makes a move, it should leave a trace, yet there are no clues to be found on the mountain, at its foot, or even in the underworld. Our only option is to face the music and report back."

Having decided on their course of action, the group prepared to return.

At that moment, they saw a tall, burly man approaching, dressed in a plain blue robe with a red silk belt around his waist and a blue cloth wrapped around his head.

"Friends who come from afar should be welcomed."

The tall man smiled, "Are my good friends by chance from Yudou? Why are you in such a hurry to return?"

The four men stopped in their tracks, their hearts suddenly wary. The man in the lead, dressed as a steward, asked cautiously, "May I ask who you are?"

Yu Tiancheng replied with a slight smile, "I send greetings from the Scholar to your young master!"

He unleashed his Primordial Spirit and, with explosive movement, burst into the midst of the four.

The four were on a mission from their master: one was to investigate the destroyer of the Taiping Sect, and the second was to capture the true culprit. Since eradicating the Taiping Sect required considerable strength, the man they sent with the highest cultivation was a great master in the Divinity Transformation Realm!

The other three were masters in the Nascent Soul Realm, also not weak by any means!

The four joined forces and clashed with Yu Tiancheng. In a flash, three of them fell dead!

The remaining one was the steward, his Primordial Spirit suppressed by Yu Tiancheng.

"After training with the two elders Han Qian for over ten days, my progress has been this substantial! This steward’s cultivation is not weaker than that rascal Wu Daozheng, and yet I managed to capture him in just a few moves!"

Yu Tiancheng was both shocked and elated, but without time to think further, he demanded, "Who is your young master? Speak quickly! Otherwise, I will take your life and scatter your ashes!"

The steward’s face twisted fiercely, and suddenly his Primordial Spirit burst into flames. Yu Tiancheng was shocked and hurriedly let go, only to see the steward’s Primordial Spirit burn to ash in an instant, choosing to self-immolate!

Yu Tiancheng turned pale, his heart racing uncontrollably.

"He would rather his Primordial Spirit self-immolate and his soul scatter than reveal his master’s name... I must stop the investigation!"

Yu Tiancheng steeled his nerves. If he investigated further, his own life would be at risk!

He went to find Chen Shi and recounted the entire incident.

Chen Shi was puzzled, "Who exactly owns the Taiping Sect? Who is this young master? Coming from as far as Yudou but having property in Henggong Mountain dedicated to producing Resurrection Lotus for him, even commanding a Divinity Transformation Realm master to the point of self-sacrifice rather than reveal his name. This young master must have no ordinary background..."

Yu Tiancheng’s expression grew solemn, "No matter his background, he is far beyond what you and I can provoke. Scholar, this matter is of great significance. We must cease the investigation! If we continue, not only us, but even Red Mountain Hall might be leveled to the ground!"
