Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law

Chapter 519 - 517: Celestial Demon Divine Sect... Yin Wuxiao?! I’ll Take This Task—Xiao Qingyin’s Shock

If Yin Wuxiao really is one of the remnants of the Celestial Demon Divine Sect...

Hiding in Qing Province, letting him grow step by step to what he is now, and even becoming a State Preceptor of a nation...

Then things get interesting.

Beside them, hearing the clan leader’s words, Xiao Qingyin couldn’t help showing a trace of surprise.

She remembered that ever since they came in, Lu Ye hadn’t displayed his strength at all.

So how was this clan leader so sure that Lu Ye, who looked so young, was actually capable of dealing with State Preceptor Yin Wuxiao, whose terrifying reputation shook all of Qing Province?

You had to know, even from just some rough information, Xiao Qingyin had already learned yesterday...

Just how terrifying the tip of Yin Wuxiao’s iceberg was.

He had killed no fewer than twenty Mortal Realm Grandmasters!

As for Earth Realm Grandmasters, he once killed three in one go; counting before and after, there were in total seven or eight who had fallen to his hands.

That he could stir up storms in Qing Province and possess such a dreadful momentum was entirely because he had killed his way out from mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

A moment later, Lu Ye, who had come back to his senses, likewise asked.

"Clan Leader, I’ve heard you speak of this Yin Wuxiao as well. Not only can he kill Earth Realm cultivators, but even if three or four Earth Realm Grandmasters join forces, they can’t pose much of a threat to him. Why do you think I have the strength to take care of him?"

Hearing this, the clan leader showed a slight smile and said, "Instinct..."

"I once met Yin Wuxiao at close range. Back then, he didn’t know the situation within our territory and wanted to wipe out my clan in one stroke."

"He once came to my clan alone, but our Ancient Spirit Tree is innately extremely suppressive toward all sinister and evil powers. Add to that our clan’s guardian treasure, and that time, we managed to drive him back."

"Now that I’ve met you, honored guest, though you haven’t made a move, the feeling you give this old man is not weaker than that Yin Wuxiao."

Pausing for a moment, the clan leader glanced at Lu Ye, whose appearance was really far too young, and began doubting his own instinct a bit—whether it could be trusted. He sighed and said,

"Of course, Yin Wuxiao is truly too powerful. If this matter cannot be done, then after you take the Thunder Pearl, just leave. In our hands, this Thunder Pearl wouldn’t be used many times anyway."

After all, it was only an instinct. The clan leader wouldn’t stubbornly insist that Lu Ye absolutely had the ability, that even if he went all out, he could kill Yin Wuxiao.

Lu Ye didn’t speak immediately. He stared at the Thunder Pearl placed on the table, his gaze deep.

Earth Realm Ninth Layer...

There was no doubt that this was indeed an extremely powerful man.

To be able to stir up storms in Qing Province—without truly terrifying strength, it would absolutely be impossible.

Only, now that he had advanced, an Earth Realm Ninth Layer no longer felt like an unbeatable existence to Lu Ye.

After seriously thinking for a moment, Lu Ye raised his head, looked at the clan leader, and nodded. "Alright, I’ll take this task."

"I’ll find a chance to meet that Yin Wuxiao once. If I feel the matter is doable, I’ll make a move. If, for the time being, it isn’t... I’ll leave first."

On the side, Xiao Qingyin was so shocked by these words that her small mouth opened slightly. That was an Earth Realm Ninth Layer!

This guy actually accepted this mission?!

Is this Thunder Pearl really that good?

She knew that with Lu Ye’s character, if he couldn’t fulfill this request, he definitely wouldn’t take someone’s Thunder Pearl for nothing.

The problem was, Yin Wuxiao sounded truly extremely powerful and terrifying.

Inwardly, she gave a small shake of her head. Xiao Qingyin knew that since he chose to accept, Lu Ye definitely had his own plans.

So she didn’t speak up to interfere with Lu Ye’s thoughts.

Sitting opposite them, the Rabbit Demon clan leader’s old eyes lit up.

From these words, he could already tell that his instinct was indeed not wrong. This young man truly had the strength to contend with Yin Wuxiao!

And what he said... "if, for the time being, it isn’t doable"!

The clan leader was a man with a wealth of experience. From that sentence alone, he could hear it clearly.

Even if, for now, he couldn’t do anything to Yin Wuxiao, he would definitely go deal with him once he had the chance later.

That was basically telling him plainly that he wouldn’t take this Thunder Pearl for nothing.

A surge of delight welled up in his heart. The clan leader personally picked up the Thunder Pearl from the table and handed it to Lu Ye with great joy.

"Honored guest, this is yours now... Right, I’ll find another one hundred Source Crystals for you. This is the savings our clan has accumulated over many years. They should be of use to you as well."

As soon as he finished speaking, the clan leader immediately had people bring out a hundred Source Crystals from the clan’s storehouse and present them before Lu Ye.

"Clan Leader, how can I accept this..."

"You can, what’s there to be embarrassed about? Honored guest, from this day on, you are my clan’s closest friend!" At this moment, the clan leader’s old face was blooming with smiles.

"Oh, right, honored guest... there’s one more thing. These Four Directions Thunder Pearls, if I’m not mistaken, should total four in number. When all four are gathered together, their power will be extremely terrifying!"

Hearing the clan leader’s words, Lu Ye roughly understood why he was willing to hand over this Thunder Pearl.

He must have, through some method, sensed that there were similar fluctuations on Lu Ye’s body as well...

...

After coming out from the Ancient Spirit Tree, Xiao Qingyin walked in silence for a distance first.

A moment later, she asked in a low voice, "Are you really going to seek out that Yin Wuxiao?"

Hearing this, Lu Ye nodded slightly and said, "After the secret trove, we can go take a look first. It doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll have a battle with him."

If, after checking, he discovered that Yin Wuxiao was indeed from the Celestial Demon Divine Sect...

Then this battle, Lu Ye knew, was actually unavoidable.

Between him and the Celestial Demon Divine Sect, there was already an irreconcilable conflict.

Along the way, how many from the Celestial Demon Divine Sect had he killed?

From that Guardian of the Divine Sect in the Fog Forest, to the Celestial Demon Elder beneath the West Border Demon Burial Plain...

Next to them, Hu Lan led Hu Ling over somewhat nervously and said softly, "Benefactor, are you leaving now? I’ll take you out."

Lu Ye smiled and said, "Alright, I’ll trouble you then."

Crossing that vast stretch of continuous land once more, the four of them arrived again at the entrance to the Rabbit Race’s territory.

Lu Ye took out the Jade Token and opened a gap in the passageway. He and Xiao Qingyin stepped out, and Hu Lan and Hu Ling actually followed them out as well, saying,

"If Benefactor has time, you can come visit our clan again. Our clan will always welcome your arrival."

Hu Lan pointed to a big tree in the southeast. "There is an Array Flag there. I see that Benefactor is quite proficient in Arrays. If you come, just lightly attack that spot directly, and our clan will notice."

Following her gaze, Lu Ye looked over there and nodded with a smile.

Wasn’t this kind of device basically an otherworld version of a doorbell? It’s just that the transmission range was a bit far.

The next moment, Lu Ye and Xiao Qingyin stopped lingering. Their two figures shot straight up from there, soaring into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, they had become two tiny black dots.

Watching the two figures depart, Hu Lan stared fixedly at those two little black dots, feeling a bit wistful.
