Chapter 240 Xiao Huan was sold?

After leaving the arena, Ye Luo went to look for the inn where the Fourth Elder was staying, but as he had guessed, he found nothing there.

That room was vacated a long time ago, and now it's completely empty.

Ye Luo was even more worried at this moment. No matter how you looked at it, the actions of the master and apprentice seemed to be a desperate, all-or-nothing move.

"What on earth is going on...?"

Ye Luo returned to the inn with a gloomy face, only to unexpectedly run into the group from Peach Blossom Valley. As expected, Nan Muyin had won, and it was a crushing victory. Peach Blossom Valley had successfully won first place.

Ye Luo: "Master, I have some questions for you."

Seeing his solemn expression, Ming Cang led him away from the crowd and into the study. "What is it?"

Ye Luo: "Fourth Elder, what exactly is she planning in Wangxian City?"

"She needs to resolve some old issues. Don't interfere too much. Just pretend you know nothing about it."

"Who exactly is she? Can you tell me?"

Ming Cang looked at him and sighed, "Since she chose to conceal her identity, she must have her reasons. I can't reveal anything, and you shouldn't ask too many questions either. If everything goes smoothly, you will naturally know when the competition ends."

Upon hearing this, Ye Luo pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, will they be in danger?"

"There is certainly danger, but we'll see how things develop. I believe they will escape danger and be safe."

Ming Cang patted him on the shoulder, "Alright, go back and rest. There's one last match left, try to be at your best."

"Yes, then this disciple will take his leave."

Ming Cang watched Ye Luo leave, then glanced into the inner room, where he could vaguely see a white figure. "Have you thought it all through?"

"Yes, I am grateful for the sect leader's care over the years."

"Oh, you're welcome."

After sensing her presence disappear, Mingcang couldn't help but sigh, "I hope you can achieve your wish..."

...

Clang!

Inside the inn, the sound of porcelain shattering echoed. Bai Ruoqian was slumped on the carpet, looking utterly dejected.

"Damn it...why...why is it always like this..."

"Junior Sister, please don't be like this." Su Yuyuan felt a pang of heartache seeing her like this and stepped forward to support her shoulder, but was met with a cold glare from her.

"Useless trash, get out of here!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yuyuan's eyes showed sadness. He got up and walked out of the room, and the room instantly fell silent.

Heart Soul Guide: "That Ye Luo is too perceptive. You'll have to be more careful in the future and can't act rashly anymore."

Bai Ruoqian retorted angrily, "What are you afraid of! Just kill him! Why are you acting all timid and cowardly!"

"Can't you use your brain for once?"

"Ye Luo is not the same as before. His cultivation level alone is not to be underestimated. Even the people around him are strong. Moreover, Jun Yi left him so many guards. How can you kill him as easily as you say?"

"And this matter is a bit strange. Why did he suddenly decide to investigate you? Judging from his fearless appearance, he may be hiding someone who is plotting with him."

Bai Ruoqian had calmed down a bit by now and asked suspiciously, "You mean to say that someone is secretly investigating you?"

Perhaps.

Bai Ruoqian was puzzled and asked, "Aren't you from ten thousand years ago? How does anyone still know about your existence?"

"Actually, I woke up inside the broken jade a few years ago, and there were still people who knew of my existence."

"Oh, I see. Then why have you been asleep for so long?"

"Hmph, it's all because of that madwoman Yu Zheng. She not only severely injured my soul, but also almost caused me to be reduced to ashes."

"Yu Zheng? That name sounds familiar." Bai Ruoqian pondered for a long time. "Isn't that Yu Xian'er's older sister?!"

"Yes, if she hadn't ruined my plans and damaged my soul and vital energy, we wouldn't be in such a passive position."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ruoqian fell into thought, and after a moment asked, "How many soul fragments do you need to regain your former strength?"

"If it's a cultivator, it's around five thousand; if it's an ordinary mortal... it would be at least several hundred thousand."

"So many!" Bai Ruoqian was also shocked. Even if they killed for several days and nights, it would be impossible to achieve this number.

Heart and Soul Guide: "We can use an array. If successful, we can recover a significant amount within a few days."

"Okay, but you should teach me the art of soul refining when the time comes."

Xinhun Yin was somewhat surprised, "You want to learn the Soul Refining Technique?"

"I want to become stronger... I don't care what method I use to obtain the ultimate power!"

Bai Ruoqian's eyes were filled with murderous intent. Ye Luo had humiliated her in public like that, and she was determined to avenge that grudge herself!

“Alright.” Xin Hun Yin Yin laughed. “Then you write a letter to Shi Tian Xin and the others to come and help set up the formation.”

Bai Ruoqian: "Let them come?"

“The City of Ten Thousand Sins is a branch of the Soul Refining Hall. No one knows how to set up formations better than them. Moreover, this is a win-win situation, so they won’t refuse.”

"Good!" Bai Ruoqian's eyes flashed coldly. "Now let's see if that guy Lin Chen can do anything. It would be best if he could kill Jun Yi!"

"That's not something we need to worry about. Let me help you heal your wounds first."

...

The Realm of Chaos.

The enormous teleportation array emitted light, and as the light faded, several figures slowly emerged. It was Jun Yi and his group who had come to the upper realm to seek the array.

Ling Lie said, "Your Excellency, this is wonderful! By teleporting here, we can save some travel time!"

"Hmm." Jun Yi summoned a flying boat, and the group jumped aboard, immediately flying towards the entrance to the upper realm.

Ling Lie said angrily, "That Tantai Immortal Mountain is really hateful. We have already given them generous gifts, but they won't even let us use a broken teleportation array. Fortunately, the Xiao family of the Central Region has relented, otherwise we would probably have had to wait a long time."

Jun Yi: "They have old grudges with Tianzong, so it's normal that they won't lend us the money. We have nothing to say about it."

"When did we become enemies with them?" Ling Lie asked.

Jun Yi said, "I heard it from Shuang Qiao, but I don't know the specifics. Judging from their attitude, the grudge is quite large."

"By the way, Your Excellency, how did you persuade the Xiao family patriarch?"

Junyi took out a portrait and handed it to him, "Look at this portrait, who do you think he looks like?"

"This is Young Master Xiao Huan?!" Ling Lie suddenly realized, "Could he be from the Xiao family of the Central Region?!"

"After being rejected, I sneaked into the study of the clan leader Xiao Xu and accidentally discovered this portrait. Later, I used mind control to investigate and found out that he was actually the missing fourth young master of the Xiao family."

Ling Lie's face showed worry. "So... you told him about Xiao Huan's whereabouts?"

Jun Yi chuckled lightly, "It was only half true and half false. I simply said that I had seen him in the Eastern Region before, and that his cultivation method, appearance, and personality matched up. And then... he was actually convinced."

"I heard the Xiao brothers killed each other... Is he in danger?"

Jun Yi looked at the portrait in his hand and said with a meaningful and firm tone, "Don't worry, it won't happen."

Really, you don't know how?

For some reason, Ling Lie felt a vague sense of worry for Xiao Huan, hoping that he could find his own good fortune.

...

Achoo—!

Xiao Huan suddenly sneezed and couldn't help but touch his itchy nose. "Oh dear, whose daughter misses me?"

Ye Luo chewed on the green spiritual fruit in her hand, looked at him with disdain, and said, "Tch, I guess she's insulting you, right?"

"Pah, pah, pah! I'm so handsome and dashing, I'm exactly what girls like. How could I possibly be hated?"

Seeing that he was eating with relish, Xiao Huan also took a bite of a green spiritual fruit on the table, only to find that it was so sour that it almost made his teeth fall out.

His features instantly contorted, and he smacked his lips. "Damn, how can you eat such a sour spiritual fruit!"

"Hmm? Where's the sourness? I think it tastes pretty good." Ye Luo leaned back on the small couch and said, "If you don't like it, don't waste it!"

Xiao Huan tossed the spirit fruit onto the table. "What a strange flavor... I'm going to sleep."

"Hmph, what a shame." After eating a spiritual fruit, Ye Luo suddenly felt sleepy. "Ling Qing."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared and bowed, saying, "Young Master."

Where is Xixi?

"Young master, you are currently staying with Miss Yaoyao. I guess you'll be sleeping there again tonight."

"Alright, you all need to be careful with the guards." Ye Luo yawned. "You call some water for me, I want to take a medicinal bath."

"yes!"

After Ling Qing left, Ye Luo lay on the small couch, unable to resist her drowsiness, and gradually fell asleep.
