Lan Zhi said, "Senior, my eldest brother is missing. We don't know where he went. We can only wait for him to come back home..."

Beitang Shanyu was in a dilemma when he heard this. "If he were in Qingyue Country, I know some astrologers who could help me find your eldest brother's whereabouts. But this place is too far away from Qingyue Country, and I can't contact them..."

"It's okay. Why don't you let the two brothers learn from you, senior? The housekeeper and I will stay in the mansion." Lan Zhi said with a smile.

"no!"

Lan Zheyu and Lan Jinyu retorted at the same time that they would never leave their sister alone.

Although the brothers' cultivation was not high and they could not help their sister, they could at least stay by her side and make sure she was safe. If they all ran away, and Prince Rui came back and saw - oh, I've been away for a while, and when I come back, all these hostages are gone, then what are we waiting for? Hurry and snatch Lan Zhi back first.

Qingyue Country is so far away. If they really leave with the master, who knows when they will come back. How can they leave their sister alone in the fire pit?

"Master, it's hard to leave our homeland. We are all reluctant to go..." Lan Jinyu sat down next to Beitang Sanyu and said expectantly, "Why don't you stay here for a while?"

"I have a family too, and I need to go back to reunite with them. Qingyue Country is much stronger than yours... What's the point of staying in Darui Country forever? Cultivate, cultivate, and walk in the world. You can't just be limited to the present..."

Lan Jinyu said, "Master, I have a question for you."

"What's the problem? Tell me."

Lan Jinyu asked, "Can you kill a master of the Chengyuan realm?"

Beitang Sanyu: "..."

Lan Jinyu pressed on, "Master, why are you silent? Can you or can't you?"

Beitang Sanyu said: "That's not necessarily true."

"Why?" If you can, you can; if you can't, you can't. Why give an ambiguous answer?

Beitang Sanyu was embarrassed. He said with a dark face, "This is not a problem for you to consider. You are only in the Young Yuan Realm. Why don't you think about how to become a powerful soul master? Why are you thinking about killing people... I heard that Prince Rui is the only master in the Cheng Yuan Realm in the entire Da Rui Kingdom. You...you don't want your master to kill him, right?"

Beitang Sanyu's eyes widened.

"Yes." Lan Jinyu nodded in agreement.

"What is it! Do you want your master to never leave this country of Da Rui?" Beitang Shanyu felt terrible. Fortunately, before talking to his disciples, he used his spiritual sense to cover the Honglu Temple in advance, so no one could hear their conversation between master and disciple. Otherwise, it would be disastrous if outsiders knew about this.

Beitang Sanyu said: "Master mainly cultivates spiritual consciousness, and his physical body is just that of an ordinary person. He cannot absorb spiritual energy and is not even in the Infant Yuan Realm..."

Although his soul can walk under the scorching sun and survive even without a body, Beitang Sanyu still has a wife and children in Qingyue Country. He can't just go out and then go back without a body. How will he explain to his wife then?

"In our Qingyue Nation, some soul masters have ordinary bodies. Usually, their bodies die at the age of 100—"

"After the physical body is destroyed, it is equivalent to ending the ties of worldly ties. Only then can we devote ourselves to cultivating the spirit."

"In some families, all the family members are souls. They lived together in life, and after death, their spirits are immortal, and they can still be reunited with their families."

"Master is only sixty years old, and has another forty years to live."

“And spiritual masters, although you don’t cultivate your souls, do you know what the three words [Chengyuan Realm] mean?”

"Cheng Yuan Cheng Yuan has already reached a certain level. His body and soul are firmly connected. How can he be killed so easily?"

"Frankly speaking, as long as the master is determined to kill him, he will definitely be able to do so. No matter how many ways he has to save his life, the master can make his body and soul completely dead. But there will be a price to pay..."

"The price is the loss of my body."

Lan Zheyu asked in confusion, "Why is Master's body gone? Is this related to some kind of weakness of the soul?"

"It's not a disadvantage... Anyone who can cultivate to the Chengyuan realm is definitely not a fool. When I attack him, he can follow my spiritual energy and sense the location of my body. With the strength of the Chengyuan realm, he can't defeat my spiritual energy, so he will definitely destroy my physical body to vent his anger..."

Lan Jinyu said, "Then should we hide your body somewhere outside of the Great Rui Kingdom?"

Beitang Sanyu shook his head and said, "Souls have another weakness, which is that they can't be too far away from their bodies. For example, my body is here, and my spirit is within the capital. As long as someone replenishes my body with nutrients on time, my body will never die. But if my spirit leaves Darui Country and is too far away from my body... my body will die."

There was both truth and falsehood in this statement. For example, Beitang Shanyu's soul could actually travel to a place far away from his body, and he only needed to return within a day. However, he did not know the character of his two disciples, so he always had to be reserved in his words and could not tell them all his true situation.

Out of curiosity, Beitang Sanyu asked, "What is your grudge against Prince Rui?"

"He is the murderer of our father."

"I..." Beitang Sanyu suddenly felt like he'd gotten himself into trouble. He'd heard the phrase "cut the grass at its roots" before, and he couldn't understand why Prince Rui had killed someone else's father but spared his sons. Was it out of arrogance? Did he think the Lan Zheyu brothers, after their lifetimes of cultivation, weren't capable of seeking revenge?

Beitang Sanyu sighed and said, "If I had known this, I would have secretly taught you the skills every day, so that Prince Rui wouldn't notice me. Then, one day, I would suddenly attack him and make him fall asleep for a few hours. Then I could take advantage of this opportunity to take you away..."

"But it's okay now. Prince Rui doesn't know my background. You can pack up your things, and I can still sneak attack him and put him to sleep. When he wakes up, I will have taken you back to Qingyue Country..." Beitang Sanyu felt that his plan was quite comprehensive. "When you have achieved success in your cultivation, you can come back and seek revenge on him, right? As for your eldest brother, I can ask an astrologer to divine his whereabouts."

Hearing this, Lan Jinyu was moved. He and his brother had been reluctant to follow their master before because they were afraid that they would be caught and brought back by the astrologers who had divined their whereabouts before they had gone far.

"Azhi, what do you think?"

"It just so happens that Prince Rui is not at home recently. If we take this opportunity to leave, we'll have a place to go..." Lan Zheyu asked. He still had a little concern in his heart, which was...

Is this cheap master reliable?

The people of Qingyue were unfamiliar with the place and had no one to rely on. After they arrived there, they were locked up and sold, and they had nowhere to seek justice.

People always feel uneasy when they leave their familiar hometown.

It would be fine if Beitang Sanyu was really helping, but if Beitang Sanyu had some conspiracy, then wouldn’t they have just escaped from the wolf’s den and run into the tiger’s den?

Rather than leaving, it is better to stay in the safe country of Da Rui.
