Chapter 138: Chapter 133: Luo Yan Delivered to the Door

"Lord Luo, Lord Luo..." a faint calling voice echoed through the dense forest.

This Small Secret Realm’s ecosystem was maintained by the Array, allowing trees to grow but not hosting as many creatures as a regular forest would, so there were no sounds of birds or insects.

In the quiet dense forest, only Qing Yu’s voice echoed, adding a ghostly quality to his solitary situation.

"I feel like an idiot..."

He had called for a long time, but no one came to this place. With Luo Yan’s Qinggong, he should have been able to reach here in such a long time. If he didn’t come, he was either dead or had discovered Qing Yu the stealthy wolf.

"Forget it, I’ll just have to look for him!" Qing Yu sighed helplessly.

Searching for Luo Yan was a tough task and might not even be successful. Although Qing Yu’s speed surpassed Luo Yan’s, it was useless if he couldn’t find the person. With Luo Yan’s Wind Listening Technique, he had an advantage in this Small Secret Realm.

Although Qing Yu had cultivated the Black Heaven Book and had barely touched the threshold of the Divine Origin Realm, he couldn’t perform the spiritual power exploration unique to a Divine Origin Realm warrior. Even Luo Yan’s Wind Listening Technique was only vaguely able to sense if there was eavesdropping, but couldn’t track in reverse.

"Hmm..." Qing Yu suddenly heard a noise—it was the sound of an approaching person.

However, these heavy footsteps and coarse breathing—this stalker was not qualified. The adept stealth and backstabbing Qing Yu commented.

His figure flickered, and Qing Yu’s form vanished into thin air.

"Colorless Transformation."

Moving swiftly toward the unqualified stalker, Qing Yu was about to strike the person down and incapacitate them first.

However, he immediately withdrew his hand when he saw who it was.

The person he saw, the unqualified stalker, was indeed Luo Yan, whom Qing Yu thought would not come.

His face was pale, his lips bore a trace of blood, and upon seeing Qing Yu, he relaxed and fell to the ground.

"You can’t be serious..." Qing Yu bizarrely observed the scene. Luo Yan didn’t come earlier not because he discovered Qing Yu the stealthy wolf, but because he was nearly dead and couldn’t make it.

Qing Yu knelt to examine Luo Yan’s injuries. A wound from a sneak attack from behind appeared to be the cause.

In this Small Secret Realm, the only ones capable of sneak-attacking Luo Yan, who had the Wind Listening Technique and was adept in Qinggong, were likely those who caught him off guard. So, who could it have been?

Qing Yu thought of Brother Wu, who had not even revealed his name; only their few accomplices could have sneaked up on Luo Yan without alert.

No wonder they were not worried about Luo Yan taking the Emperor Martial Art to hide and open the Small Secret Realm after the struggle in the Literary Arena had ended. Apparently, they were very confident that Luo Yan could not escape the search of the Academy’s scholars.

With severe injuries, moving outside, Luo Yan definitely couldn’t escape his pursuers’ search, better to find a secluded place to hide. But on Datong Mountain, what secluded place could there be that could elude scholars from Mountain River Academy who had lived there for two to three years?

After checking Luo Yan’s injuries, Qing Yu’s hand reached into his chest, searching for the Emperor Martial Art.

Suddenly, Qing Yu’s eyebrows lifted as if he had discovered something. However, judging from his empty extended right hand, the Emperor Martial Art was not on Luo Yan. It must have been hidden somewhere by Luo Yan.

On Datong Mountain, hiding a person was challenging, yet concealing an object was not. Emperor Martial Art would hardly be something anyone would possess on such a large scale.

"It seems, I must first save Luo Yan..."

Qing Yu helped Luo Yan up, administered an elixir for healing, and then had him sit cross-legged in front of him, placing his palms on Luo Yan’s back, practicing his art to heal the injuries. This classical Martial Arts healing was well-known, yet it was Qing Yu’s first time employing it.

True Qi continuously flowed into Luo Yan’s body, but Qing Yu’s mind unintentionally recalled an old version of "Dagger and Saber" TV series from his past life. The protagonist, Zhang Wuji, simply needed to place his palm on men to heal them. For women, well, removing their clothes came first, for clothes could hinder the exercise of their power.

With such whimsical thoughts, Qing Yu suddenly laughed at himself. It had been over ten years since his memory awoke, and the past was gradually turning into clouds of yesterday. If not for the system and the regular sight of familiar Character Cards, he would have almost completely forgotten his past and truly merged into this new world.

As his mind wandered unchecked, the True Qi he transferred was not slow at all. Soon, Luo Yan’s injuries stabilized under the aid of Qing Yu’s Elixir and True Qi, though his consciousness remained somewhat blurred and he did not fully regain consciousness.

But this, too, was just right...

Qing Yu turned to face Luo Yan, lifted his eyelids, and made eye contact with his somewhat dazed eyes. The "Mind Control Spell" from the Qin Dynasty Yin Yang Family was already in motion.

"Luo Yan... Luo Yan... tell your teacher, where is the Emperor Martial Art hidden?" Qing Yu’s voice changed, now mimicking that of Luo Yan’s teacher—the Six Gates "Chasing Wind Divine Constable" Lu Qifeng.

"Emperor Martial Art... is in..."

Although Luo Yan struggled a bit in the environment Qing Yu had woven around him, he was still useful to Qing Yu, and could not be treated harshly as Lu Yi had been. The methods used on Lu Yi had been extremely brutal; after their use, even if Qing Yu did not kill him, Lu Yi would die from the injuries caused by the harsh methods.

So, with no other options, it was going to be a bit exhausting for Qing Yu.

"Tell your teacher..." Qing Yu spoke with Lu Qifeng’s voice.

Repeating the phrase several times, Luo Yan’s resistance gradually weakened, and at last, he disclosed the location where Emperor Martial Art was hidden.

"Very good," Qing Yu rejoiced.

It was a pleasant surprise to obtain the Emperor Martial Art so effortlessly, sparing him the task of chasing Luo Yan across the mountains.

And moreover, another surprise...

Qing Yu’s gaze shifted to Luo Yan, who had fallen into a deep sleep due to the hypnosis.

In this venture in the Small Secret Realm, Qing Yu had overtly idled away but covertly rebelled, effectively betraying the Six Gates. To prevent Lu Qifeng from later exposing his identity, Qing Yu had initially planned to capture Luo Yan and to use the "Black Heaven Book" to control him.

The master-apprentice relationship between Lu Qifeng and Luo Yan was excellent, unlike Qing Yu’s with his nominal master, Xuanfa—Lu Qifeng and Luo Yan were more like father and son, with deep parental affection.

By threatening with "Black Sky Tribulation," Qing Yu was confident that Lu Qifeng wouldn’t harm him. It was also a tactic to ensure his own safety, after all, if successful in obtaining the Emperor Martial Art, Qing Yu would no longer be of any use.

And once he became useless, Qing Yu’s situation would become quite precarious.

Thus, certain measures were still necessary. But that was before, now...

With Luo Yan severely injured and his mind unclear, it gave Qing Yu many opportunities to manipulate. Hypnotic brainwashing—I am most skilled at this...
