Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law-Chapter 267 - 265: Red Cloud Begins to Suspect Lu Ye’s Identity, Inquires About the Five Poison Sect’s Whereabouts, Youluo Arrives
Suddenly recalling this question, the Red Cloud Fairy indeed felt a bit curious.
In this world with hundreds of surnames, why did he specifically choose the character "Lu"?
However, having asked the question, Red Cloud also knew that whether or not that person would answer...
Wasn’t certain.
If it were someone else ignoring her communication, the Red Cloud Fairy would find it unbelievable.
But being ignored by Chen Beixuan, or rather Lu Xuan... to be honest, she was kind of getting used to it.
Sure enough, after the message was sent, a full two minutes passed without any response.
The Red Cloud Fairy remained calm, as if she hadn’t sent the message at all.
However, a hint of lingering doubt in her heart persisted.
The "Lu" surname she linked to, of course, was... the disciple sent off for a marriage alliance, Lu Ye!
Reflecting on her two conversations with that Lu-surnamed disciple, the Red Cloud Fairy suddenly realized that, besides a slight trace of resentment...
He seemed to have a touch of confidence.
After all, without confidence, even if she sent him away...
In the martial world, strength has always been revered, so what disciple would have the guts to speak to the Sect Leader so directly without support?
At the time, she merely thought this disciple was resentful, so the Red Cloud didn’t put on a Sect Leader’s air.
But now that she had time to think back, the Red Cloud Sect Leader vaguely felt...
That something seemed not quite right!
Previously, she hadn’t doubted, but this time, the feeling was especially strong.
...
Outside the cave, Lu Ye looked at the message sent by the Red Cloud Fairy, then glanced at the sky, lost in thought.
It sounded to him... like the commotion caused by his previous breakthrough to the Ninth Layer of the Grandmaster.
However, having the Northern Territory’s attention drawn to those few Ninth Layer Grandmasters, Lu Ye didn’t mind much.
Since encountering Yin Wuya of the Celestial Demon Divine Sect, Lu Ye always felt that what was sealed in the Northern Territory wasn’t just him alone.
Moreover, the Celestial Demon Sect member who escaped from the Soul Falling Valley further confirmed this, and the enemy was likely hiding to regain strength.
In such a situation, unless the Northern Territory could truly be subdued, it was indeed better not to draw countless gazes.
However, not revealing himself for the time being was temporary, and acting in the shadows wouldn’t cause delays.
Having recently advanced to the Ninth Layer of the Grandmaster, with the Illusory Destruction Yin Yang Finger achieving Small Success,
Lu Ye was eager to test... just how strong the Five Poison Sect Leader, who once injured Youluo, really was!
"The Five Poison Sect..."
Squinting slightly, a plan formed in Lu Ye’s mind, and after a moment’s thought, he sent a message to Youluo.
After all, the location of the Five Poison Sect’s headquarters was secret, and ordinary people had no knowledge of it.
Only someone like Youluo, who had been there, knew where the headquarters was hidden.
... 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
In Cloud Leaf City.
Today, Youluo hadn’t gone to the fixed spot on the roof of the Jiang Mansion, but stayed in the backyard of a shop.
Upon receiving Lu Ye’s message, she was so surprised that she abruptly stopped her practice.
Youluo: [My lord husband, what are you asking this for?]
Youluo: [No, no, why do I feel like you’re planning to cause trouble for the Five Poison Sect?]
Lu Ye: [You’re overthinking it. I’m just asking, so can you tell me the address?]
Reading the latest message, Youluo pursed her lips, clearly unconvinced.
Did he really think her mind was empty?
Youluo: [Well... it’s not that Youluo can’t tell you, but Youluo wants to go with you!]
Youluo: [That way, we can support each other when the time comes.]
Lu Ye furrowed his brow, did she really want to join?
Still, Youluo’s strength was unquestionable, being at the Ninth Layer of the Grandmaster, even without using Divine Techniques, she was definitely among the top in the Northern Territory.
Bringing her along wouldn’t be a hindrance.
In some situations, she might actually be of some assistance.
With this thought, Lu Ye agreed.
[Alright, you tell me the headquarters’ address, and we’ll go together then.]
Youluo: [My lord husband, don’t be in a hurry. First tell me where you are; once I find you, we can go together!]
Youluo thought, what if he ran off early if he got the address ahead of time?
Simultaneously, a small sense of gratitude welled up in Youluo’s heart.
"My lord husband suddenly wanting to find the Five Poison Sect’s headquarters, could it be mostly because of Youluo?"
After all, they shouldn’t have had any past grievances, so it was probably because last time she talked about investigating the Five Poison Sect’s injury...
So my lord husband got angry!
It must be like this!
It was precisely because she understood this that Youluo insisted on accompanying him.
After all, it was the Five Poison Sect’s stronghold, and she feared the Sect Leader might play tricks; if Lu Ye got into trouble, having her along would add an extra layer of support.
A moment later, upon receiving the location from Lu Ye, Youluo dressed in black and swiftly darted out of the shop’s backyard, heading towards the place Lu Ye had mentioned.
...
When Lu Ye finally saw Youluo, not even two hours had passed.
He had to admit, her speed exceeded his expectations.
Youluo had flown at full speed without pause and hadn’t consumed any Recovery Elixirs.
It was only after landing that she realized her dantian’s Grandmaster’s Source Qi had been reduced by about half.
Lu Ye noticed this as well and said calmly, "There’s no need to rush... recover first."
Exploring the Five Poison Sect’s stronghold was best accomplished in full strength.
"Alright, wait for Youluo a bit, it’ll be quick."
Youluo nodded, she had brought several bottles of Recovery Elixirs to speed up her recovery significantly.
Besides, she also brought several types of antitoxic pills for this occasion.
After consuming a few Tier Four Recovery Elixirs, Youluo felt restored to peak condition in just the time of one incense stick.
"Hehe, my lord husband, aren’t I fast at recovering?"
Youluo laughed.
Lu Ye smiled slightly; Tier Four Elixirs were just right for cultivators in the Grandmaster Realm.
Only an Alchemy Master who had reached Tier Four could craft them.
Even though Recovery Elixirs were cheaper than cultivation ones, their cost was still intimidating to ordinary people.
If Youluo didn’t recover quickly after gulping down several, it would be quite odd.
"Oh right, take two bottles; sometimes they can save some time." Youluo took two bottles of Tier Four Recovery Elixirs and a bottle of Antitoxic Pills from her Storage Ring.
After some thought, Lu Ye accepted the Recovery Elixirs but declined the Antitoxic Pills.
"You know the Five Poison Sect’s headquarters, lead the way, let’s go."
Seeing that Lu Ye refused the Antitoxic Pills, Youluo was momentarily stunned.
However, recalling that Lu Ye had withstood even the toxic fog concocted by Yin Wuya’s mixed poison, Youluo chose to trust him.
Since my lord husband didn’t want them, he must have his reasons.
"Alright, follow me. The Five Poison Sect headquarters is located in the Hundred Poison Mountain Range, ten thousand miles away; that’s where toxic fierce beasts reign..."
Hundred Poison Mountain Range?
Upon hearing this, Lu Ye seemed deep in thought.
Choosing that place as their headquarters, even if people knew about it, there was little they could do.
Not to mention, the Five Poison Sect was among the top forces in the Northern Territory.
