Chapter 442: Chapter 254: Sudden News

During the following days, the Northern Zhou military commanders, shook with fear, no longer dared to seek pleasure everywhere during their tenure as before.

Even when they ventured out, they traveled in groups, always five or more, not daring to give any opportunity.

This indeed reduced the chances for the Azure Dragon Association, even leading to several failed assassination attempts that did not kill the intended targets.

However, they were only there to give their reports and ultimately had to return to their original postings. It was impossible to keep traveling in groups back at their garrisons.

So, Yun Wuyue was always waiting for an opportunity.

As for Qing Yu, he had delegated the assassination tasks to Yun Wuyue and spent his days leisurely in a villa outside the Divine Capital, silently refining his spirit.

After the Late-stage Divine Origin Realm, reaching the Peak and obtaining the opportunity to advance to True Pill required perfecting the integration of spirit.

During this process, due to Qing Yu’s unique condition, his progress could be seen from his appearance.

As he refined his spirit, the combination of the Three Elements in him grew even tighter, and his white hair gradually increased.

When Qing Yu’s hair turned completely white, it would mark the day of his great achievement.

In these days of refining his spirit, Qing Yu’s white hair had become undeniable, although still not conspicuous, strands of silvery white were now visible within his black hair.

One day, sitting cross-legged on the top of a specially built tall building, basking in the sun while finely refining the Three Elements to make them more cohesive.

His long hair hung down his back, under the sunlight it looked exceptionally dark and shiny, yet the streaks of silver-white added a somewhat dazzling yet harmonious effect.

"What is it?"

Qing Yu could hear someone coming up the stairs; unless it was something important, his subordinates would not dare disturb him lightly.

A dark figure rushed to the top floor softly and rapidly, half-kneeling, said, "Third Dragon Head has something important, please, Dragon Chief, come over for a discussion."

This Third Dragon Head was naturally Yan Nanfei, also known as Feng Jiu.

These days, although Qing Yu had not gone into seclusion, silently refining the Three Elements took an untold amount of time. Therefore, Qing Yu delegated the assassination tasks to Yun Wuyue and pulled Feng Jiu to the position of Third Dragon Head, handing other matters to him to handle.

After all, Feng Jiu was dealing with court matters every day, so a little more wouldn’t hurt.

"Go ahead," said Qing Yu.

The dark figure then quietly withdrew.

’It’s an important matter, but it should not be so crucial to the current situation. Otherwise, Feng Jiu wouldn’t still be busy approving memorials; he would have come directly to me.’

’But if it’s not urgent, how could it still be called an important matter?’

Qing Yu’s figure suddenly disappeared from the top floor, flickering in the distance, rapidly moving towards the Divine Capital using "Harmonizing Light with Dust."

Although now a significant figure, Qing Yu never saw the need for the use of carriages that high officials used for travel.

Carriages, though comfortable and status-symbolizing, only served those two purposes.

Qing Yu had not forgotten that before, Ouyang Yan and others had traveled by carriage to the Imperial Palace, only to be intercepted by him and Feng Jiu in advance and outmaneuvered.

Thus, Qing Yu always believed that as a martial artist, Power was the most important; there was no need for a carriage to assert status.

If you possess the cultivation of the Divinity Realm and can fly and descend from the sky, that truly shows your status.

Leaving that aside, Qing Yu traveled quickly using "Harmonizing Light with Dust" with the aid of "Qi Dual Flow," naturally without worry of running out of True Qi.

In no time, Qing Yu reached the gates of the Imperial Palace, very swiftly. Moreover, with "Harmonizing Light with Dust," he didn’t need to worry about being spotted.

As before, he entered through the main gate of the Imperial City unabashedly.

The guards were Imperial Guards, absolutely vigilant, but despite their high alertness, they failed to notice the figure of Qing Yu flashing by.

Without a trace of a breeze or any foreboding, they let Qing Yu enter the Imperial City, completely unaware.

After entering the Imperial Palace, Qing Yu quickly made his way to the Eastern Palace, outside Feng Jiu’s sleeping quarters.

This time, Ou Jianyuan was not in the sleeping quarters but was practicing martial arts in a nearby square.

Royal Tributors, being tributors and not guards, understandably didn’t follow Feng Jiu around all day every twelve hours; they had their own personal needs too.

People like Qi Sibo, who followed around all day, weren’t there for protection.

So, Qing Yu directly flashed into the sleeping quarters and slowly materialized beside Feng Jiu, who was engrossed in reviewing documents.

Feng Jiu, who was approving memorials, jumped a bit when he suddenly found someone beside him.

The connection between the Tribulation Master and Tribulation Slave was one-way in Qing Yu’s careful shielding; only he could sense Feng Jiu, but Feng Jiu couldn’t detect his arrival.

However, on seeing it was Qing Yu, Feng Jiu calmed down.

"Your progress is becoming increasingly inscrutable," Feng Jiu remarked, observing the increasing white hair on Qing Yu’s head.

His Power was entirely derived from Qing Yu, so he knew deeply about Qing Yu’s Realm and the significance of the white hair.

But he didn’t expect the advancement to be so swift.

Just now, if it weren’t for his alertness, with peripheral vision while editing documents, Qing Yu’s appearance beside him would have gone unnoticed.

And this was even without Qing Yu purposely suppressing his aura.

"If you could see through it, why would I still practice martial arts?" Qing Yu said helplessly.

If even his Tribulation Slave could sense the reality of the Tribulation Master, it would be better for Qing Yu, the Tribulation Master, to just end it all.

"Enough with the idle chat; you mentioned something important, what is it?"

Qing Yu looked at Feng Jiu, who didn’t seem to be in a rush.

"It is important, but not urgent," Feng Jiu took out a document, "Daqian Six Gates has officially submitted a request to Northern Zhou, claiming a wanted criminal from Daqian has entered Northern Zhou and has requested permission from Northern Zhou Court for Six Gates to send agents to capture them."

"Oh?" Qing Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Since when did Six Gates start following such protocols?"

Six Gates’ intelligence agency, Yunlai Inn, had extended to the Divine Capital, and the Four Great Divine Capturers such as Lu Qifeng and Meng Wuchang came and went as they pleased; since when did they start submitting official documents to the Northern Zhou Court?

Oddly, Qing Yu thought of his old superior and rival—Chasing Wind Divine Constable, Lu Qifeng.

He had a lingering suspicion that this might again be Lu Qifeng’s doing.

"This detail, you would know once you read the document," Feng Jiu said.

"Is that so..."

Qing Yu opened the document.

Then he saw the wanted criminal’s name.

"Li Xin."
