Chapter 165 Turbulence
When Luo Xuanyi and Ding Jing Zhenren finalized everything and Ding Jing Zhenren returned to Longlan City, there was a small town.
There were hardly any people on the street, and even at dusk, not a single wisp of smoke rose from the streets. The street exuded an air of decay and desolation.
But from the street level, the town appears to be well-planned and well-built, with numerous shops lining the streets, offering a glimpse into its former prosperity. This is the appearance of an ordinary town after the disaster of the fat legacy.
The wind picked up, and suddenly a wooden door opened, startling the empty street with a scraping sound. It was a couple with three children, who had packed everything they could carry into their bags and were looking longingly at the familiar door of their home.
The natural disaster was too severe. Not long ago, even the mayor, who had issued a notice vowing to live and die with the town, had left this dead city. In order to survive, his family had no choice but to leave home and head south.
The woman, wearing a flowered headband to shield herself from the sun, hesitated as she looked toward the neighbor's house. It was a rather old house, its decor out of place among the neighbors. It was a very old house, its name unchanged for nearly five hundred years.
They are all miserable people.
She knew that she might just be meddling in other people's business, but she still went up and knocked on the door.
"Brother Yao, Brother Yao."
Before she could call a third time, the door opened a crack, then halfway open, and a man in plain clothes stepped out, bending over. He looked very young, but his hair was already gray.
"Sister Lin, what's wrong?" His voice was unexpectedly rough and unpleasant, completely at odds with his youthful appearance. It was as if there were gravel in his throat, making one feel uneasy.
"Nothing, it's just that my family is moving away, so I came to ask you." She sighed a little sadly, "Do you want to wait any longer? We are the only two families left in the city who haven't moved away."
"The hottest days haven't arrived yet. I heard that some city lords are still good at governing their cities, and at least you can have food to eat... Are you really not leaving?"
"Yeah, Brother Yao, it's been so long," Lin Da, who had double-checked the door lock, came over to persuade him, "If you haven't found your daughter yet, you should go first... If she comes back, won't she be sad? You're her only relative."
The couple were honest and good people. Yao Yong knew that they were really worried about him, so he just smiled and shook his head, turned back to the house, took out a box of gold bars and stuffed it into their hands.
"Brother Yao, this is so embarrassing!" Lin Meizi was so scared when she saw what was inside that she immediately wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Yao Yong.
"For so many years, you always bring food during the New Year and other festivals. This is also my little token of appreciation. It will be useful on the road. Don't let the three children go hungry."
The couple fell silent at the mention of their child. Finally, they thanked Yao Yong deeply, looking back every few steps, and finally, they gritted their teeth and walked out of the city gate, heading south.
Yao Yong took a deep breath and his expression turned grim.
"Sir, something seems to have happened with Master Gulan. The ghost Buddha escaped from the Lianshan Ghost Market early."
Yao Yong looked toward the courtyard. A kneeling subordinate met his gaze and immediately bowed his head. Beads of sweat fell from his forehead, soaking his crimson clothes. "Why do I always have to deliver this kind of news?" Tao Zhenhao thought with a hint of despair.
This was of course also related to his decision to go undercover in Yunyumen. Who said this place was close to the main peak of Yunyumen?
No one would have guessed that Yao Yong, the most evil cultivator among the righteous, leader of the Paper Arts Sect and known as Master Fuhe, lived year-round beneath the main peak of the Meteorite Jade Sect. He changed his appearance every century and stubbornly lived in the Yao family's ancestral home, waiting for his daughter, Yao Mian, to return home.
Tao Zhenhao didn't know why Yao Yong refused to use his subordinates to search for Yao Mian. According to his thinking, as long as Yao Mian didn't escape to Zang Yao Sect or the Sea of Heaven, wouldn't the Paper Art Sect be able to find him?
However, it has been rumored within the sect that the Yao family has a kind of blood connection. Although no one knows how it works, perhaps Yao Yong has always known where his daughter is and is just waiting.
According to the old people who had followed Yao Yong for a long time, Yao Mian ran away in anger because his mother died.
After a lot of random thoughts, Tao Zhenhao finally relieved his tension and regained some of his rationality.
Oh, am I not finished with the message yet?
Tao Zhenhao, who finally reacted, wanted to hammer a hole in the ground with his head and bury himself in it! But before that, he had to finish his trembling words: "...Master Gulan, Master Gulan said that Master Yuangu in her body seemed to have suffered a very strong Taoist attack and temporarily fell into a deep sleep. The doctor in the sect said that the Taoist magic was lingering in the body. She wanted to go and kill that person, so she will not be in charge of the main temple for the time being!"
"Yeah." Yao Yong reached out to help Tao Zhenhao up, and felt Tao Zhenhao trembling all over. He seemed to want to pat Tao Zhenhao on the shoulder to express his encouragement, but as soon as his hand fell, Tao Zhenhao felt his right shoulder go empty.
His body was torn in half starting from his right shoulder, along with his right arm and right leg!
"Ah!!!" Tao Zhenhao screamed in the familiar pain, tears and snot pouring out of his face uncontrollably. He was nearly going crazy with pain, but he was forced to stand. Yao Yong had heard enough of his screams, so he calmly grasped Tao Zhenhao's body, which had been split in half, and slammed it into him.
Almost in an instant, a strange bright red spell suddenly appeared on Tao Zhenhao's body and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Without using any panacea, Tao Zhenhao only felt that his body was stuck back to the state before the injury, and the pain that drove him crazy also disappeared.
Not only was there no pain or wound, but Tao Zhenhao's clothes were completely undamaged. Everything seemed to have never happened, and only the awe of Yao Yong was deeply engraved in Tao Zhenhao's heart.
"Alright? Then, you can go now." Yao Yong withdrew his hand. "Report all the details of the Lianshan Ghost Market to me tomorrow. List all the disobedient cultivators and I will curse them to death."
"Have the caller gather all the necessary materials for the curse and stop acting haphazardly."
"Yes!" Tao Zhenhao felt bitter, but he wouldn't say anything. The caller brought his precious skinny dog, who was always acting crazy. He was also Yao Yong's self-made confidant, and it was said that he had brought him from a ruin. Who among his subordinates would dare to control him? Who could control him?
I don't care anyway.
Yao Yong walked into the house. He knew he should first send a message to Gulan. Ever since the twins died once and were revived by him fusing them together, they had been inseparable. With her brother Yuangu asleep, Yuanlan would likely be unable to remain calm.
But isn't he the same?
These days, no, since a long time ago, the distant blood curse that he had only a very weak sense of and could not determine at all, suddenly became clearer and clearer in him.
He couldn't tell who the other person was. After all, the sense was too weak. He didn't even know whether it was a blood mark or a hunting mark left by an enemy in a vendetta.
However, this had given him hope. He had waited for one hundred and fifty years, and he could no longer let go of any clues about Yao Mian.
It’s time to make the paper art known.
Second update~Sister Yi: If she's not your daughter, don't come.
The Paper Arts Sect and the Yao Family have officially joined the fray. Remember those two brothers Sister Yi killed? This has truly stirred up a hornet's nest. The Yao Family is known for their unity, making them a unique family. More details will follow later.
There is no update today, but there will be two updates tomorrow, which means there will be four updates tomorrow~
