Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law-Chapter 212 - 210: My Combat Power Is Eight Thousand; Lu Ye’s Is at Least Ten Thousand! Five Poison Saint Son Breaks Through to Grandmaster
In the past two days, for some reason, a few strange events have occurred consecutively in Cloud Leaf City.
Several households living on the outskirts of the city have mysteriously disappeared from their homes!
This news spread quickly, causing many people to start panicking.
Because among the missing households, there is a martial artist at the Eighth Layer of the Condensing Origin Realm.
For those in the Postnatal or Innate Realm, although their strength isn’t high, it’s not that easy for ordinary people to target them.
At this time, additional personnel have been deployed in the Jiang Mansion to strengthen patrols.
When the news reached Jiang Qingge, she keenly sensed that it might not be so simple.
A person living well in the city, how could they suddenly disappear?
Connecting it to the news that had gradually emerged months ago, about villagers in remote villages being brutally poisoned by mysterious forces...
"Could it be that someone is now targeting the city itself?"
Jiang Qingge pondered, targeting within the city was unexpectedly effective and truly viral.
After all, those martial artist teams from the Eastern Territory wouldn’t expect that while they were focusing all their defenses on villages and towns, the threat was directly stealing right inside the city!
"No wonder having strength can bring peace of mind."
Jiang Qingge murmured to herself; if one possesses enough strength, in such a dangerous situation, it equates to having enough confidence.
Days passed again, and Jiang Qingge glanced at her current realm, Condensing Origin Seventh Layer.
Since last speaking with Lu Ye, and after Lu Ye reassured her to focus on her cultivation, Jiang Qingge hadn’t worried about this aspect anymore.
She was instead curious if she could progress similarly upon reaching the Postnatal Realm.
After all, compared to the Postnatal Realm, the Condensing Origin Realm required far less Heaven and Earth Source Qi.
Rapid cultivation in the Condensing Origin Realm doesn’t signify much, but rapid progress in subsequent realms truly signifies speed.
...
At this time, in the City Lord’s Mansion.
Wang Xingluo’s face was nearly as dark as charcoal; he never expected such an adverse event to occur in Cloud Leaf City.
The idle personnel from the City Lord’s Mansion have been dispatched entirely, attempting to trace any clues from the missing households.
Unfortunately, no significant information has come through yet.
The investigation that started yesterday in the city also hasn’t uncovered a trace of hidden evil cultivators.
This evil cultivator, or this group of evil cultivators, seems to have already left Cloud Leaf City and moved to the next location, leaving no trace.
On the other side.
Lu Ye and Youluo traveled swiftly, reaching the small town at the junction of the two territories within half a day after leaving East Cang City.
The town has returned to its former tranquility, with few people around.
Lu Ye and Youluo, still dressed in black, rented two rooms after entering the town.
"By the way, husband, I forgot to ask you, why don’t you wait a little longer?" Youluo asked with curiosity in Lu Ye’s room.
"The people from Flame Castle can’t hide in East Cang City forever; once they leave the city, with Youluo’s strength combined with yours... below the Grandmaster level, we completely have a chance to acquire that sword."
Youluo spoke honestly.
She even felt that if Lu Ye unleashed his full potential, his fighting power would surpass hers!
If her fighting strength were eight thousand, then when her husband exploded with full power, it would at least be ten thousand!
It’s just that the fleeing Saintess Xihua considered her husband a pretty face.
Youluo was curious, have you ever seen a pretty boy who lives off others, able to kill one of the Celestial Demon Divine Sect’s Twelve Guardians, Yin Wuya?!
Upon hearing this, Lu Ye smiled faintly and said, "Upper Grade True Artifact, only those destined shall acquire it."
Youluo: "..."
She didn’t quite understand, but it seemed impressive.
Clearly knowing she doesn’t use her brain much, preferring to solve issues with force, her husband still speaks mysteriously!
"It’s alright; Youluo’s warehouse has quite a few good swords. When I have time, I’ll bring out a couple for you, my husband." Youluo said.
As the master’s man, he’s always using a Mortal Tier Magical Artifact, truly frugal.
Fortunately, Youluo had a bit of wealth; the warehouse only had about a hundred and eighty good swords.
Lu Ye smiled indifferently, not saying that the destined one was himself.
...
In a dilapidated hut in the mountains.
Saintess Xihua gazed at her tattered white clothes, her face still somewhat pale.
Divine Techniques... even in the Dao Sect of the Celestial Realm, passed down since ancient times, there are only two.
Carved into the Divine Power Jade Stele, only those who have made significant contributions to the sect have a chance to comprehend them.
"Who is that person in the black robe, able to bring out even Divine Techniques?"
A glimmer appeared in Saintess Xihua’s eyes.
This participant of the Grandmaster Ninth Layer Realm certainly wouldn’t be a nameless figure in the Eastern Territory.
As long as the origins of the person in black are found, this pretty boy who lives off others definitely can’t escape; the Starfall Spirit Sword still has a chance to be obtained.
"A Grandmaster Second Layer, strong enough, yet choosing to fall so low, feeding themselves to the tiger." Saintess Xihua shook her head.
...
On the other side.
Amidst a mist-filled swamp with pervasive poisonous gases, a pitch-black hall stood.
Inside the secret chamber, the Five Poison Saint Son, who hadn’t ventured outside for a long time, pulsated with dark green Source Qi, his aura increasingly terrifying!
As the Five Poison Saint Son’s momentum reached a peak, he took out a dark green elixir and swallowed it whole.
In an instant, the poisonous green mist around him advanced again, turning a terrifyingly vivid green!
The Saint Son’s aura transformed rapidly, a genuine grandmaster aura began to emanate from his being.
Returning from the Holy Mountain Spirit Pool several months ago, the Five Poison Saint Son... successfully ascended to Martial Arts Grandmaster!
He slowly opened his eyes, surveying the vividly green poisonous fog filling the room, and laughed coldly.
"My poison technique takes another stride forward; once stable, Grandmaster Second Layer... merely a flick of the wrist to suppress!"
Yet, recalling the rumors heard earlier about that mysterious grandmaster mastered in the Holy Mountain, now capable of reversing the decline of the Grandmaster Fifth Layer...
A hint of venom flashed in the Saint Son’s eyes.
If it weren’t for the emergence of that mysterious grandmaster, he, the Five Poison Saint Son, should have been the brightest young prodigy in the Northern Territory!
Now, at least ninety percent of attention in the Northern Territory is focused on that person.
Every appearance swiftly draws immense attention.
By comparison, he, the esteemed Five Poison Saint Son, poised to accompany the Five Poison Sect in making great achievements, appears unnoticed on the sidelines!
"Once the Five Poisonous Divine Centipede evolves again and I absorb the evolved venom... whether you can reverse the decline of the Grandmaster Fifth Layer, you may not withstand this poison!"
The Saint Son’s chilling words echoed in the poison-filled chamber.
...
In the border town.
In the inn, Lu Ye was meticulously checking himself; the fact that the woman in white could suddenly catch up must have a reason.
