Chapter 1126 - 374: the Xu Family (Part 3)

"Mu Jianli? Did she come here too..."

Lin Zheyu glanced toward the distant sky, a slight expression change on his face.

He had once crossed paths with Mu Jianli; although they had no real connection, in truth, Lin Zheyu owed Mu Jianli a favor.

Oh, and there’s Lei Xi Yuan from the Lei Family.

After carefully perceiving, Lin Zheyu confirmed that the other party was not in danger, smiled slightly, and vanished into the darkness.

...

East Sea region, above the Chaotic Star Sea.

Lin Zheyu’s figure stepped out from the void, striding toward the island below.

To him, the Island Protection Array was as though it didn’t exist.

"Greetings, sir."

"Greetings, Mr. Xiao!"

On the island, U Di and Xi Chi had been waiting for quite a while.

"Hmm."

"Shall we set off now?"

Lin Zheyu looked at Xi Chi and asked indifferently.

The primary purpose of his visit was to obtain the Celestial Derivation Sect quota in the hands of the Xu Family.

"That would be best."

Xi Chi’s eyes showed a hint of joy, and he quickly spoke.

Between his brows was a trace of fatigue; the Xu Family has not been faring well lately.

"Let’s go then."

"U Di, inform Kong Yu Jing to bring along the recruited demon cultivators and wait for me at your side."

Lin Zheyu gave the order indifferently.

"Yes, sir."

U Di responded respectfully.

After Lin Zheyu and the others left, he gradually lifted his head and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Facing this lord, U Di felt an increasing pressure; that inexplicable might was suffocating him.

...

"We’re almost there, fellow cultivator."

Xi Chi seemed somewhat anxious, speaking with slight breathlessness.

Now the clan is in chaos, and he only managed to spare some time to come out.

"Mm."

Lin Zheyu responded briefly, glancing to the right ahead.

There, a Foundation Establishment cultivator was in hiding.

That cultivator used some kind of special concealment magical treasure, so unless one intentionally perceives, even a Golden Core cultivator wouldn’t be able to detect them.

Lin Zheyu cast a glance and then withdrew his gaze.

He had no ties with the Xu Family; assisting Xi Chi’s grandfather was merely part of a transaction.

As long as it didn’t affect this transaction, Lin Zheyu had no intention of interfering with the Xu Family’s troubles.

Soon.

The two arrived at the Xu Family’s residence.

"This is the place."

"Please come inside, fellow cultivator." Xi Chi said respectfully.

The two entered the residence.

Upon sensing Xi Chi’s arrival, a middle-aged man emerged from the main hall, a slight anger coloring his gaze toward Xi Chi.

"As the clan’s Golden Core combat power, where have you run off to at such a critical time!"

"The Qian Family could turn against us at any moment, launching an attack on the Xu Family, and many forces around are eyeing us greedily."

"At such a time, you bring an unknown man into the clan’s territory, are you trying to endanger the family?"

The middle-aged man berated.

His eyes slightly narrowed, a dangerous aura emitting from him as he looked at the stranger beside Xi Chi.

Unfathomable.

He couldn’t fathom this person at all, making the middle-aged man rather apprehensive.

"Third Uncle, this is Mr. Xiao, the one I mentioned last time, the fellow cultivator capable of resolving the demon will’s corrosion."

"The current situation of the Xu Family is due to Grandfather’s issues, once Grandfather is healed, everything can be solved smoothly."

Xi Chi furrowed his brows slightly but still patiently explained.

"Humph, absurd!"

"The corrosion of demon will is incurable, unless a Divinity Transformation expert intervenes, or uses special secret treasures, only then could it possibly be alleviated, but merely alleviated."

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

He looked at Lin Zheyu, his aura growing increasingly dangerous, a trace of lethal intent flickering in his eyes.

"What’s this fellow cultivator’s background, sneaking into the Xu Family with Xi Chi, what is your purpose!" the middle-aged man asked coldly.

"None of your damn business."

Lin Zheyu shot him a glance and said indifferently.

As a demon cultivator, one must have the temper typical of demon cultivators; facing such inexplicable individuals, there was no need to show them any favor.

Moreover.

Since entering the Xu Family’s residence, Lin Zheyu had activated the Spiritual Celestial Eye, thoroughly researching the various array restrictions within the Xu Family’s territory.

Currently, the strongest within the Xu Family territory is merely at the Golden Elixir Layer; even with the array restrictions, they pose no threat to him.

"You!"

"Courting death!"

The middle-aged man was momentarily shocked, his terrifying aura erupting instantaneously.

But before Lin Zheyu could take action, another aura blocked it, as Xi Chi stepped across, shielding Lin Zheyu.

"Third Uncle!"

"Do not force me to act against you!"

Xi Chi said coldly, his face grim.

Big families also have their big family troubles; the Xu Family is not monolithic.

Xi Chi’s third uncle had always been seeking chances to wrest more resources and power from Xi Chi.

"Good, good, good!"

The middle-aged man repeated the word ’good’ three times, laughing with anger, snorted coldly, and then directly turned to leave.

"Activate the emergency plan, initiate the surrounding array restrictions, seal this area, without my orders, no one is allowed to leave!"

The middle-aged man’s voice echoed from afar.

Instantly, energy began to flow around, and powerful array restrictions started to activate gradually.

"Fellow cultivator, what does this mean?"

Lin Zheyu squinted his eyes slightly, asked in a low, deep voice.

The Celestial Eye in his sea of consciousness quietly observed the surrounding array restrictions; upon confirming they couldn’t trap him, he dismissed the idea of leaving.

"Apologies for letting you witness this, fellow cultivator."

"Rest assured, I have the Clan Leader’s token, he can’t trap us." Xi Chi furrowed his brows slightly, offering apologies.

"This is a jade talisman for direct transmission away from the Xu Family; if you encounter danger, you can use the jade talisman to leave directly."

Fearing Lin Zheyu would misunderstand, Xi Chi paused in thought, took out a jade talisman, and handed it over.

In fact, he didn’t fully trust Lin Zheyu either; the third uncle’s activation of arrays was a safeguard, preventing Lin Zheyu from bringing greater danger to the Xu Family if things went awry.

Meanwhile, the provided jade talisman ensured Lin Zheyu’s safety and reassured him in treating his grandfather.

It accomplished many things at once.

"Oh..."

Lin Zheyu accepted the jade talisman, expressionless, barely responded.

"Let’s go; where’s your grandfather?" he asked lightly.
