Chapter 513: Chapter 9 Demon Young Master Arrangement

Zhang Xuanji continuously drew upon the Primordial Energy, probing the True Pill belonging to Zhang Xuanlian again and again, observing various changes.

Qing Yu might not understand the profound Alchemy Dao very well, but he noted down everything with full concentration for later study.

After all, this was also beneficial for the study of True Pill, which could deepen Qing Yu’s understanding of his own True Pill and better refine his Golden Core.

Just by looking at Zhang Xuanji, it was clear that his improvement in the True Core Realm wasn’t solely due to the nourishment from True Pills refined by Human Furnaces. His own accomplishments in the Alchemy Dao were also one of the reasons behind his rapid progress in the True Core Realm.

"Hmm?" While intently noting down the various changes in the True Pill, Qing Yu suddenly noticed someone hurrying over in their direction.

A familiar person, no less.

His figure vanished silently, not disturbing Zhang Xuanji’s research. Qing Yu reappeared abruptly in front of a chubby individual outside.

"This..." The plump Meng Yunfei was startled by the sudden appearance of a figure before him, giving him quite a scare.

When he realized it was the very person he had been seeking an audience with, Meng Yunfei quickly performed the necessary etiquette and said, "I’ve seen the Hidden Mirror Man."

Perhaps due to their familiarity, the Shadow King had once again sent the well-known Meng Yunfei to assist Qing Yu. But the Meng Yunfei of now had no idea that the Hidden Mirror Man with a terrifying aura standing before him was actually his old acquaintance, Gong Ziyu.

In Meng Yunfei’s memory, Gong Ziyu was already dead. This was the Shadow King’s order, and even if Fatty Meng had doubts in his mind that Gong Ziyu somehow survived the disaster, he could not utter it.

"What is it?" Qing Yu, with his hands behind his back, looked at the shivering plump man and asked.

At this question, Fatty Meng shivered even more violently. He felt as if twelve poisonous dragons were roaring at him from the formidable and terrifying figure opposite him, greedily eyeing his two hundred and fifty pounds of flesh.

’This fatty is quite keen, indeed.’

Meng Yunfei, who had lingered in the Divine Origin Realm for years, had sharp perception and could sense the terrifying Xuanyin Su Sword on Qing Yu.

Having just been through a major battle and still nursing slight injuries, some of Qing Yu’s Xuanyin Sword Intent couldn’t help but leak out slightly. However, the fact that Meng Yunfei could detect it was exactly a testament to his keen perception and also to...

Compatibility.

The ability to sense the Xuanyin Sword Intent was due to Meng Yunfei’s compatibility with the Xuanyin Su Sword.

’It seems this Fatty Meng has ambitions of his own as well.’

If he had been a completely ambitionless waste, he wouldn’t have been able to resonate with the supremely yin and evil Xuanyin Twelve Swords.

As Qing Yu’s interest in Meng Yunfei grew, the Xuanyin Sword Intent became more pronounced, probing Meng Yunfei’s potential bit by bit.

The words that were about to come out of Meng Yunfei’s mouth were again suppressed by the terrifying Qi Mechanism, his body shaking even more like a sieve. But his own resilience was such that he did not fall, instead trying once more to speak.

"Not bad!"

The deep pressure and the unknown terror suddenly vanished, leaving Meng Yunfei drenched in cold sweat, but he still insisted on reporting to Qing Yu, "Hidden Mirror Man, the Demon Young Master has located the Shadow Pavilion and says he can help us deal with Yu Jian Manor."

Demon Young Master?

Qing Yu recalled this honored figure from the Heavenly Demon Palace, ’Is he still not dead?’

Since Yun Wuyue had been a great help during the previous Northern Zhou plan, Qing Yu had also reciprocated by providing her with considerable assistance, aiding her Power advancement and a significant increase in strength.

By now, the Demon Young Master should be no match for Yun Wuyue. Given Yun Wuyue’s previous methods, she would likely take the opportunity to get rid of the Demon Young Master, this annoying "fly" troubling her. However, the fact that the Demon Young Master was still alive indicated that Yun Wuyue’s chance had apparently not yet come.

"What does the Demon Young Master want then?" Qing Yu asked with evident interest.

He would not assume that the Demon Young Master was here to play philanthropist. Where gifts flow, expectations follow. The demand of the young master from the Demon Sky Demon Palace was certainly not minor.

"I do not know, the Demon Young Master has invited you to meet tonight at the ruins of Cold Mountain Temple, which lies three miles away." Meng Yunfei said respectfully.

"Is that so? Then let us go and meet this Demon Young Master," Qing Yu uttered a laugh whose meaning was unclear.

"Oh, right, your will is commendable—you deserve a reward."

With a flick of his finger, the invisible power of thought surged into Meng Yunfei’s mind, bringing with it a stream of information.

Meng Yunfei felt his mind thundering, counting binaries and patterns swirling within his thoughts.

Heavenly Heart Lotus Ring, Lotus Step... The heart is the monarch’s officer, where divinity emerges...

In the blink of an eye, Meng Yunfei received a set of Martial Arts suited for his realm.

Shi Zhixuan could develop Broken Lotus Eight Moves, naturally comprehending An Long’s Heavenly Heart Lotus Ring thoroughly, and Qing Yu, having received Shi Zhixuan’s Martial Arts enlightenment, naturally understood the mysteries of the Heavenly Heart Lotus Ring.

Now, Qing Yu passed on this Martial Arts as so-called reward to Meng Yunfei.

"I’ll also play the investor like the Shadow King. If you’re brave and talented enough to cultivate this Heavenly Heart Lotus Ring to great success, I certainly won’t hesitate to invest more into you."

The cultivation path of the Heavenly Heart Lotus Ring was extremely dangerous—one careless moment could lead to the bursting of all meridians and instant death.

Meng Yunfei’s own Martial Arts were not inferior to the Heavenly Heart Lotus Ring. If he was courageous and possessed enough talent to successfully cultivate this perilous technique, then he would prove himself worthy of Qing Yu’s investment.

If so, Qing Yu would not mind nurturing this old acquaintance somewhat.

"Whether you choose to train or not will depend on how great your ambition is, hahaha..."

With a laugh, Qing Yu faded into nothingness, leaving Meng Yunfei alone, his face clouding and brightening in turns, indecisive.

...

Inside Yu Jian Manor.

Xuan Yun lay in a deep coma on the bed, his body dripping with blood and occasionally flashing with a ghostly green gleam.

Before the bed, Manor Master Xiao Qianxiu was meticulously inspecting the somber green Sword Qi at the wounds while the Sword Qi in his own hands danced unpredictably. It was as if a miniature person was wielding a sword on his fingertips, engaging with the Xuanyin Sword Energy above the wounds.

After a while, a flash of Sword Light suddenly burst from Xiao Qianxiu’s hand, forcibly ejecting a strand of Xuanyin Sword Energy. It slithered like a Spiritual Snake, looking for an escape.

However, Xiao Qianxiu extended two of his fingers, like two sharp swords, pinching the seven inches of the snake, capturing it in his grasp.

"Hissss—"

As if realizing there was no hope of escape, the Xuanyin Sword Energy directly disintegrated, vanishing into nothingness, allowing the foe no chance to seize it.

"Such strong sentience, this Sword Qi is like a living thing." Xiao Qianxiu praised between the empty space of his two fingers.

He turned to ask Taoist Xuanming, "Taoist Xuanming, is this really Sword Qi from a True Core Realm Martial Artist? Judging by its essence, it far exceeds the scope of the True Core Realm, having reached the level of the Divinity Realm."

"If this were Sword Qi released by a warrior of the Divinity Realm, how could my disciple and I still be alive?" Xuanming shook his head and smiled bitterly.
