Chapter 370 A Kind-Hearted Beauty Sets Up a Trap to Lure People
Just as he was stunned, a pair of fair, white hands lifted him up. Ignoring the voluptuous breasts, the person was quite exquisite in appearance.
Phoenix eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, delicate nose, cherry lips.
A few strands of black hair fell from her forehead, making her face appear even smaller. A chrysanthemum petal ornament adorned her brow. She wore a crane-patterned, butterfly-patterned, cloud-shaped dress, with a finely patterned gauze shawl draped over her shoulders.
She wrapped her snow-white arms around him and lifted him up, supporting his bottom with her armpits, while also curiously examining him.
Wang Yu did not react as strongly as before because he did not sense any danger from this person, who was a mature and beautiful woman in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
At that time.
Two maids approached, staring at Wang Yu with suspicious eyes, and cautiously offered a reminder.
“Madam, it’s rather strange that this child appeared alone at the South Gate. I’ve heard that a Ice Demon Child has recently appeared in Fengzhou, specializing in alchemy for cultivators.”
"His appearance is that of a child, and there is no need for you, Madam, to take such a risk."
Tao Sixuan's beautiful brows immediately furrowed.
She glanced at Wang Yu, who still seemed bewildered.
"Red lips and white teeth, a full forehead!"
"How could there be anything wrong with a boy who looks so decent? Don't be fooled by those rumors. This is Fengzhou Prefecture. Who would dare to cause trouble here?"
Seeing that the lady had already made up her mind, the two maids immediately fell silent.
They stood at the city gate and waited for a while.
After waiting for a while without finding the adult that Tao Sixuan thought she had, she said softly to Wang Yu, "I'm afraid your adult won't be found for a while. Would you like to come home with your aunt first?"
Although Wang Yu was sitting in her lap, his mind was only partially on her; he was thinking about intelligence gathering.
The reason he detoured to Fengzhou Prefecture was largely because he wanted to make contact with the Fengzhou Elders Council. These administrators must have detailed information about the changes in the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect.
Secondly, there's the Blood Axe's Fortuitous Encounter Site and the Mysterious Bone Mountain Underground Palace.
His true form is being hunted down by the Nine Evil Sword Lord and should not be revealed, while there is no suitable opportunity for his identity as the Ice Demon Child. This lady looks delicate and frail.
His cultivation level was also at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, but he gave the impression of being the kind of person who easily evoked compassion and had a kind heart. It was possible to cultivate such a personality in Fengzhou.
Wang Yu felt that she was somewhat like a concubine kept in seclusion by a powerful figure, and perhaps this was a breakthrough point.
Thinking of this.
I felt a little embarrassed.
But since no one knew anyway, he decided to exaggerate his acting, grabbing the beautiful woman's neck and rubbing his head against hers as if to express his affection, his head practically sinking into her skin.
Tao Sixuan couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
"You silly child, come with your auntie then."
Wang Yu's head was covered in the scent of milk, and his face was quite red, caused by the rush of blood to his head, as well as some embarrassment.
Don't be fooled by the fact that he is only three years old in physical form.
But the marks of time are still there in his bones; he is a true 148 years old, which is equivalent to half a lifetime for a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Various physiological reactions still exist.
As for the sparrow, it may seem unusable, but there are always more solutions than problems. With all sorts of ingenious methods, there's always a way to use it when needed.
He wasn't thinking too much about it right now, focusing on intelligence gathering for the time being. He had plenty of experience in self-control at crucial moments and wouldn't lose control.
After nodding, the group went through a side gate and entered the city directly.
Wang Yu leaned on the beautiful lady's shoulder, his keen senses detecting the guard secretly following them. He was a Golden Core cultivator in the early stage, more than enough for the purpose of staying in Fengzhou without venturing far.
This lady might bring him even more surprises.
…………
…………
Fengzhou Prefecture, Garrison Command.
This place is equipped with a low-grade fourth-order magic array, which was set up by the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect based on the characteristics of Fengzhou, and is called the [Thirty-Six Snow Dragon Killing Array]!
As its name suggests, the power of this formation is determined by its thirty-six array eyes. In addition to being primarily used by Core Formation cultivators, it can also be activated by magic treasures.
With this formation in place.
Even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators can't break through the city's defenses!
At this moment, in the huge conference room, there were thirty-six Core Formation Peak cultivators sitting alone, and even more standing behind them.
They are all in the range of Core Formation Level 3 to Core Formation Level 8.
There were at least three hundred of them, almost all of them local cultivators, some from small families or small sects, and some from other regions of Fengzhou.
There were too many people gathered, and it was so noisy it was like a vegetable market.
They argued back and forth, creating a huge uproar.
It is said that during its heyday, Fengzhou Prefecture had over a thousand Core Formation cultivators. Eighty percent of them died in the great war between the righteous and demonic forces four hundred years ago, and these are the ones that have grown up again in the last few hundred years.
after all.
Not far from here lies the Mysterious Heaven Realm, which produces a vast quantity of ordinary Core Formation spiritual items and a small quantity of high-grade Core Formation spiritual items.
It's quite easy for cultivators to accumulate a large number of Core Formation cultivators using ordinary spiritual items; generally, only high-grade Core Formation spiritual items are sent to the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect's mountain gate.
As fame grows, more and more people gather around.
With a large base of Foundation Establishment cultivators, it's understandable that there would be a thousand Core Formation cultivators at the peak. These people would also contribute to Fengzhou Prefecture and attract various merchant guilds.
This made the city prosperous and bustling, because it was a fourth-tier city with a very high capacity.
The reason they were arguing was actually just one issue: whether or not to support the sect?
They could bury their heads in the sand when things were chaotic before, but in Fengzhou, the sudden appearance of the Ice Demon Child has frightened many people with ill intentions.
In some places, entire clans have even begun to flee, fearing retribution from Fengzhou Prefecture.
Once the chaos in Fengzhou was cleared up, their three hundred-plus Core Formation cultivators stood out conspicuously. They were still staying at home and receiving salaries without working, even though everything was fine. What did that mean?
And so, this big meeting came about.
"If no one helps us now, how will the Holy Sect view us in the future? Killing us all would be a blessing! You! You! And you, your entire family will be exterminated!"
Those who were singled out were the loudest.
They even went so far as to say that the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect wouldn't last three years, and even suggested that the thirty-six members of the Fengzhou Elder Council organize a force to plunder Yeqiongzhou.
Someone has already done this before.
The Xuan Gu Thief is one piece of evidence!
"Foolish! Those trash may not know how strong the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect is, but do you think we don't know?"
"Come on, you said it would collapse in three years?"
"I told you you'd die in three days, believe me or not?!"
"Send troops! We must send troops!"
The two groups were arguing fiercely, while others tried to smooth things over by intervening.
Although the meeting ended badly and a second meeting was planned to be held in a few days, it seemed that the pro-war faction still had a stronger voice than the ostrich faction.
The opportunistic faction, on the other hand, is completely stagnant.
Only a fool would bring up something like this in a meeting; those who made the suggestion were mostly just trying to cause trouble.
For example, deliberately harming those who have already taken action.
The Wang family residence.
Wang Yu looked up and saw the plaque. He was stunned. This coincidence was really a bit... It goes without saying that he had just spent half an hour wandering around the city with Tao Sixuan.
He had just returned home; his prediction was very accurate.
The beautiful woman was indeed one of Wang's concubines. She had no children and seemed to be disliked by the other women in the inner quarters, probably due to jealousy.
After all, the fact that a Core Formation Guardian was secretly following her already showed that the man valued her; otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths.
From the front garden, then across the long covered bridge.
We arrived at a courtyard called [Wisteria Garden].
Along the way, some old servants, having heard their master's instructions, deliberately spoke ill of Tao Sixuan at a volume just loud enough for her to hear, pointing and gossiping about her.
The arrangement was specifically designed around the lowest of the low, which made Wang Yu frown.
It is common for the people of Chiyuan to have three wives and four concubines. Members of the Hehuan Sect especially like to take their "furnace vessels" as concubines, using them for a long time to show their affection. They often give their concubines away to others, either to curry favor or to win them over.
Depending on the individual, there are also exceptional individuals who are specially trained from childhood to satisfy special preferences, and pure virgins who are proficient in bed-making techniques.
It's hard to say that the gifts given out when making friends with prominent figures from other sects weren't for some ulterior motive.
After examining the Wang family mansion with his divine sense, he found that there were fifty-four women, but strangely, there wasn't a single child.
Wang Yu couldn't help but grumble to himself, "He's got so many beautiful women."
Are you able to manage all that?
Wisteria Garden.
After settling Wang Yu in and instructing the maid to look after him, Tao Sixuan went to the main house. Out of curiosity, someone sent a wisp of their divine sense over there.
Soon after, he casually took it back.
Behind the main house seemed to be a greenhouse bathroom, heated by a ground fire, with steam constantly swirling around it. He glanced at it and then looked away.
It was all white; I couldn't see anything.
"Is taking a shower at this time... a habit?"
He quickly realized that the master of the house was coming back. It was only a few dozen steps away, and he was immediately greeted warmly by the group of women.
The owner of the Wang family mansion was a peak Core Formation cultivator who was already showing signs of old age and frailty, and it was estimated that his lifespan had exceeded seven hundred years.
He was rather old, and looked to be in his fifties.
This man, surrounded by wives and concubines, certainly knew how to have fun. As soon as he returned, he was touching and kissing people here and there, showing none of the taciturnity he displayed during meetings.
A woman asked with a charming smile.
"Sir, how did today's meeting go? Did anything major happen?"
"These are turbulent times..."
Wang Zhenghong said, stroking his short beard.
"Shufen, everyone in the manor should be more discreet lately. Avoid going out if possible, to prevent trouble from arising. Those people are probably going to fight each other to the death."
“Our family shouldn’t get involved in anything, and neither should your poor relatives. If anything happens, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
In his view, both providing support and taking advantage of the chaos were extremely dangerous. Although there were opportunities, they were no longer worth risking his life for.
Even with the best of circumstances, could he achieve Nascent Soul formation?
Therefore, Wang Zhenghong is the most conservative of the conservatives.
With less than a hundred years left to live, the most important thing is to try our best to leave behind a son or daughter. Let those who want to fight over it.
I'd rather do nothing than make a mistake.
Hearing him describe the situation as so serious, the women's expressions changed slightly, and they immediately agreed. However, some of them hatched a scheme.
"Master, Tao Sixuan went out today and brought a servant boy back with her. Could it be that she's out there..."
Wang Zhenghong looked puzzled. He didn't believe he had been cuckolded. Who would have the guts to bring their child back?
He could guess what they were thinking, so he simply nodded to indicate that he understood: "I'll go and see."
After entering the courtyard, he dismissed the group of women.
Then proceed to the Wisteria Garden on your own.
Wang Yu's divine sense saw everything. In a flash, he appeared in front of the Wisteria Garden. To obtain complete information, he had to control Wang Zhenghong.
Searching only one person's soul might be a waste of time if the information is insufficient, and there's also the risk of alerting others.
Since we've decided to gather intelligence, let's gather it all at once. The key is to find the right people; who will be responsible for contacting the Holy Sect is of paramount importance.
Tao Sixuan was merely a tool for him to infiltrate the city. He didn't have time to play house, so Wang Yu, who always valued efficiency, decided to confront Wang Zhenghong directly.
in this way.
Wang Zhenghong, who had arrived in a hurry, saw a three-year-old child standing there. Just by making eye contact, he could feel the child's profound and unfathomable spiritual realm.
His knees buckled, and he slid to his knees with a thud.
"Whoosh—"
He knelt at Wang Yu's feet, his forehead pressed against the ground.
"Whatever Senior Ice Demon wishes to know, this old man will answer to the best of his ability and do everything in his power to satisfy your needs!"
Wang Yu was slightly surprised. As expected of someone who survived the great war between good and evil four hundred years ago, he had mastered the art of being flexible and adaptable.
It's normal for him to be recognized; he didn't try to hide it.
The portrait of the Ice Demon Child must have circulated among the powerful figures of Fengzhou several times; he prefers to talk to people who know how to adapt to the times.
"Get up, I have something to ask you."
"yes!"
He verbally agreed, but only raised his head slightly, maintaining a comical upward angle, waiting for Wang Yu to ask a question.
"Who is responsible for contacting the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect?"
"It is the Communications Division, which has a staff of three hundred. Only two people are authorized to know all the secret messages, and they are currently in the city."
"If Senior Ice Demon needs it, I can find a way to lure them to my residence. In addition, there is a young master of the Yu family of Holy Mountain in the city who may know something. We can invite him as well."
What a shrewd old man! He was afraid that Wang Yu would search his soul, so he deliberately highlighted his own role and set a trap to lure the target who wanted to search his soul to come to him.
What I'm trying to say is simply that I can't live without him!
As for abandoning someone after they've served their purpose, that's another matter. Wang Zhenghong's quick wit is commendable, and people like this are actually easier to control.
—Because he's afraid!
After some thought, Wang Yu responded.
"Young Master Yu, there's no need for that. Go and arrange for the head of the Intelligence Division to come over. Do you have any detailed information about that person?"
"some."
After presenting a jade slip containing intelligence, Wang Yu flicked his finger and planted a seed of demonic intent, issuing a warning.
"Do me a good deed, and I'll spare your life."
"I will remember this."
"Step down."
Wang Zhenghong slowly retreated, glancing reluctantly at the Wisteria Garden before finally abandoning his beloved concubine and going to do Wang Yu's bidding.
Now that things have come to this, I can only accept my bad luck.
Wang Yu then checked the information on the young master of the Yu family. This was an unexpected situation. The Yu family's sacred mountain was located in the northeast corner of Yeqiong Prefecture, near the Chaotic Ancient Sea.
A large area of sea and land nearby belonged to them, and the young master in Fengzhou Prefecture was far inferior to Yu Xing in status.
He was just a concubine's son from a collateral branch of the family, and the local bullies in Fengzhou weren't very powerful. He was actually just a spoiled young master who came to show off his power.
It's just venting some random emotions.
It's not worth paying attention to.
I have diarrhea, so today's update will be postponed.
First update complete. Two more updates to come today.
