Zhuo Qun was one of the six Foundation Establishment cultivators who followed Qin Wuxian to Daqian Immortal City. Although his cultivation was only at the Foundation Building Middle Level, he was already 150 years old. Over a hundred years of experience in management, business, and interpersonal relations made him very knowledgeable and skilled.
Qin Wuxian assigned him to a large Immortal City in the far north of Qianzhou, Jinyun Immortal City.
Jinyun Immortal City was located near the Evil Mountain Range. However, several relatively safe trade routes had been opened up in that area of the Evil Mountain Range. At the other end of these trade routes was a large Immortal City of Daqin.
Qin Wu Xian dispatched experienced Zhuo Qun to face the biggest business opportunities and the most severe tests.
“How did he disappear?” Han Yi asked.
“I don’t know. I just received a message from Wei Tushen today, saying that Senior Brother Zhuo Qun disappeared yesterday without a trace, as if he disappeared into thin air.”
Wei Tushen was Zhuo Qun’s disciple, with a Qi Refining stage nine cultivation base.
“I have activated the transmission array to inform the sect.”
“Master Zhuge instructed me to convey the message to you, asking you to go to Jinyun Immortal City and investigate this matter first.”
“He will follow closely behind.”
Liu Ruyan’s gaze fell on Han Yi, leaving him no choice but to accept.
Xuandan Sect had set up transmission arrays in the Profound Immortal Pavilions where the ten Elders lived. However, these transmission arrays were only second-stage, which could only transmit information but not cultivators.
It was rumored that only fifth-stage transmission arrays could teleport cultivators, and the Spirit Stones needed for one teleportation were all Top-Grade Spirit Stones. In Daqian, only Daqian Immortal Country and the two holy lands possessed them, and Xuandan Sect could not afford the price even if they wanted to use them.
In terms of time, it will take Master Zhuge about twenty days to arrive at Jinyun Immortal City. Junior Brother Han, you should be able to arrive within ten days. During these ten days, be careful in your investigation and don’t be careless or reckless. If you encounter provocations, you can show the Inspector’s token to seek Daqian’s protection.”
“Junior Brother Han, be careful.”
There was a hint of worry in Liu Ruyan’s eyes. After more than a year of getting along, this junior brother, who was younger in age but much stronger in strength and had a gentle character, was the most suitable person to be a fellow disciple. Naturally, she didn’t want Han Yi to have an accident.
Han Yi nodded, his face solemn but not panicked.
“Elder Sister Liu, tell me about the situation in Jinyun Immortal City.”
Half an hour later,
Han Yi soared into the sky from the Profound Immortal Pavilion, released his Immortal Boat, and headed towards the side gate of the Immortal City, crossing the Ninth-fold Immortal Court.
When his Immortal Boat just left the Profound Immortal Pavilion, he didn’t notice that a loose cultivator disguised as a Third Stage Qi Refining realm vendor pushed up his hat, revealing a cold light in his eyes.
“Heh, this guy has finally left. Otherwise, I’d have to sneak in.”
The loose cultivator wearing a hat packed up the low-grade magic weapons on the stall, turned around and entered an alley. When he came out, he had changed his face into that of an elder with immortal wind and dao bones. The elder didn’t use any tools to fly, but directly rose into the air, and only then did he release his Immortal Boat, catching up in the direction Han Yi had left.
However, after leaving the Immortal City, the more he pursued, the more he felt something was wrong. The speed of the Immortal Boat in front was getting faster and faster, and in less than an hour, it had exceeded his divine consciousness sensing range, leaving him dumbfounded.
A moment later, he had no choice but to stop, and a hint of speculation flashed through his eyes as his original appearance returned.
This was a rugged-faced middle-aged cultivator named Yan Bu. In addition to his identity as a loose cultivator, he had another identity – a killer of the Black Divine Tower.
Black Divine Tower was one of the largest organizations in the Yu Heng World, spanning across Daqin, Daqian, Dayong, and other major and minor forces.
Unlike the evil cult style of the Fragrance Sect, the Black Divine Tower was more covert, and their main activities involved assassination and dark schemes. They were even willing to attack Lord Spirit Transformation, as long as the price was right.
In the history of the Black Divine Tower, three Monarchs had once jointly assassinated a Lord, which showed their recklessness. Although they ultimately failed to kill the Lord, their bizarre methods seriously injured him.
Under the heavy injury, the Lord killed two Black Divine Tower Monarchs and was chased by the third Monarch – the leader of the Black Divine Tower, a Nascent Soul Cultivator who inherited the title of Black God Monarch.
Since that battle, Black Divine Tower had become one of the most powerful organizations in the Yu Heng World.
Their strength wasn’t necessarily the strongest, but their boldness was undoubtedly the strongest.
Yan Bu had accepted a secret mission within the tower to kill a Foundation Building Late Stage cultivator. According to the materials, the target was named Han Yi, ranked ninth on the Qianlong List, and was very strong in both strength and potential.
However,
Yan Bu didn’t find it tricky. Killing head-on was too devaluing. The Black Divine Tower was good at using poison, which was also the origin of the word “black” in the Black Divine Tower. He believed that he could poison even a Spirit Transformation cultivator, as long as the opportunity was appropriate.
However, if he couldn’t catch up, there was indeed nothing he could do.
“According to the information in the secret post, the opponent’s strength is no less than that of an ordinary early-stage Golden Core cultivator.”
“This business is not easy.”
“However, killing a Qianlong genius, especially a top ten genius, is both a challenge and an opportunity for me. Even if it takes a long time, it’s worth it.”
Yan Bu’s eyes showed a hint of excitement and eagerness.
He had encountered such prey before, and it took him a full eight years to kill them. After killing the prey, his thoughts became clear, and he broke through to the Golden Core stage in one fell swoop.
On the other side,
As Han Yi hurried along, he noticed a strange divine consciousness sweeping over him from behind but didn’t pay attention to it. Instead, his divine consciousness surged and poured into the Immortal Boat.
This Immortal Boat was not his original Human Immortal-level Immortal Boat, but an Earth Immortal level Immortal Boat temporarily borrowed from the Profound Immortal Pavilion. The control center of the Immortal Boat had a total of 199 grooves.
When all the Spirit Stones were embedded and the grooves were full, and Han Yi’s divine consciousness exerted its full strength, it made it impossible for Yan Bu behind to catch up.
Ten days later,
The Immortal Boat slowed down, and a city was less than ten miles ahead.
