People in Conferred Gods: Rising from humble beginnings, I am the God of Wealth

Chapter 287 A plot to seize Yunhua, the Styx River stirs up trouble!

After the young man steadied himself, he glanced at the strangely-looking Qingluan, then looked apologetic and bowed to Fairy Yunhua behind him.

"This humble Taoist priest, Yang Tianyou, has frightened the fairy. Please forgive me!"

Yang Tianyou was quite handsome, with a gentle and refined appearance, and such good manners made him easy to like.

For some reason, when Fairy Yunhua saw Yang Tianyou's appearance clearly and heard him introduce himself, her heart beat a little faster for a moment, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in her heart.

It's as if this person is her destiny, her lucky break, and she should spend more time with him.

But in the next instant, the image of Yang Xuan appeared in Fairy Yunhua's mind, completely dispelling the previous feeling.

Yang Tianyou is just an ordinary Earth Immortal, how can he compare to Emperor Yang Xuan?

With the cultivation level of Emperor Da Luo, he possesses an aura of omniscience and complete control. He holds significant power in the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, making him a unique figure in the primordial world. How could this Yang Tianyou possibly compare to him?
Fairy Yunhua frowned slightly, her previous inexplicable feelings disappearing and replaced by vigilance.

The young human before her was only at the Earth Immortal level, and it was their first meeting, yet he could evoke such feelings in her. This was clearly not quite right.

"It doesn't matter."

Fairy Yunhua nodded, then looked away from Yang Tianyou and did not speak to him again, continuing to look around at the temple and food.

As for Qingluan and Zhuque, they didn't even glance at Yang Tianyou, waving their hands to dismiss him.

The two sides' aesthetics are completely on different wavelengths!

Moreover, in the primordial world, once one's cultivation reaches the level of an Earth Immortal, reshaping one's appearance is as easy as a hand. It's unrealistic to expect to win someone's favor based on one's looks, let alone find a Daoist partner.

In the primordial world, what truly attracts people are cultivation level, power and status, and personal temperament. The reason why Yang Xuan is admired by so many celestial gods and immortals is because these three aspects are too outstanding.

As for Yang Tianyou...

Under normal circumstances, they might be able to fool naive young girls, but to the two blue phoenixes, they were no different from the others around them; in fact, they all looked the same.

Yang Tianyou was slightly taken aback when he saw that Fairy Yunhua had only replied with two words before leaving with Qingluan and Zhuque.

"This doesn't seem right..."

He was just an ordinary Earth Immortal, and his background wasn't particularly good, but he was still an Earth Immortal, so logically speaking, it was impossible for him to slip and fall on flat ground.

But for some reason, the moment he saw Fairy Yunhua, his heart suddenly raced, and a strong feeling arose in his mind that he was destined to be with Fairy Yunhua and should spend more time with her.

At the same time, it was because of this momentary lapse in concentration that he accidentally slipped and fell, leading to the scene described earlier.

As he watched Fairy Yunhua's departing figure, a strong sense of reluctance suddenly arose in his heart. He felt that he shouldn't miss this opportunity, so he subconsciously followed her.

But before he could take more than a few steps, he saw the blue divine bird turn its head and glance at him.

next moment.

Yang Tianyou felt a blur before his eyes, and when he could see his surroundings clearly again, he found that he had suddenly moved from the center of the mall to the outside of the mall's city gate in an instant.

"A great psychic?"

Yang Tianyou was immediately startled and broke out in a cold sweat.

Although the Nine Provinces are protected by the Nine Cauldrons Formation and have no worries about external enemies, the human race's crisis education has never been neglected.

He didn't know what level of cultivation was required to be able to send him outside the mall with just a glance, under the suppression of the Nine Cauldrons Formation.

But he was certain that this was something a Xuanxian (a high-level immortal) could not do, and even a Jinxian (a high-level immortal) might not be able to do it.

This means that the strange-looking blue divine bird was at least a Golden Immortal, or even a Taiyi Golden Immortal. How could he possibly offend it?

"Very well, since that senior is displeased, I will take my leave to avoid further displeasing him..."

Yang Tianyou thought for a moment, then turned and left.

Because of the Nine Cauldrons Formation, there are no alien races appearing in the Nine Provinces now. The alien beings that can enter the mall at this time can only be one thing: the immortals and gods of the Heavenly Court.

Nowadays, the human race and the Heavenly Court have a close relationship. Many humans, after becoming immortals, think about joining the Heavenly Court, becoming a righteous god, and then performing their divine duties to serve the human race.

Yang Tianyou had recently broken through to the Earth Immortal realm and was planning to sign up for the Heavenly Court's Nine Provinces Recruitment Fair once it began.

Now that he knows these three are most likely Golden Immortals from Heaven, or even Taiyi Golden Immortals, he must have been incredibly foolish to provoke them.

As for his strange feelings towards Fairy Yunhua, he didn't think much of it and forcibly suppressed them.

Are you kidding me? With two immortals at least at the Golden Immortal level protecting him, how could he possibly be worthy of such a position?

"It's strange, really, why would I have such a thought..."

Yang Tianyou shook his head and smiled, then turned and flew into the air, preparing to use his escape light to leave the mall.

However, just as he activated his escape technique, he heard a slightly mocking chuckle.

"This is not up to you!"

Turning his head, he saw two people dressed in black robes, whose faces he could not see, standing beside him and placing their hands on his shoulders.

next moment.

Yang Tianyou then found himself unable to move. The two men in black robes brought him back to the ground, then concealed their presence and used the earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of escape technique) to disappear into the ground, remaining motionless deep within the earth.

After more than a hundred years, it flew away to an unknown place.

Unbeknownst to them, not far away, a figure dressed in a blood-red Taoist robe leaned against a large tree, silently watching them.

"Now I've finally found you..."

After a while, his figure disappeared. Following the three people in front, he finally arrived at the outside of an inconspicuous little mountain next to Wuyi Mountain.

This mountain is truly unremarkable, with not even a single array around it, and a large number of ordinary creatures live within it.

If someone were to pass by and see such a small hill, they wouldn't find anything unusual about it.

Furthermore, this place is right next to Wuyi Mountain, which is Yang Xuan's Daoist temple in the Nine Provinces, with two Great Luo Golden Immortals presiding over it.

A large number of celestial deities reside here; in later terms, it was the celestial embassy in Kyushu, making it the safest underworld in Kyushu.

No one would think there's anything wrong with this ordinary little hill next to Wuyi Mountain.

"No wonder that after so many years, the Heavenly Court, the Human Race, and the Dragon Race have joined forces but still haven't been able to find you. It turns out you were hiding right under their noses."

"I have to say, you're really bold."

As the two men in black robes led Yang Tianyou into the mountains, the figure in the red Taoist robe emerged from under a tree in the distance.

However, he did not rush into the mountain. Instead, he took out dozens of blood-red stones and set up a spatial array centered on the small mountain to disable teleportation magic and spiritual treasures before entering the mountain.

……

Fire Cloud Cave.

From the moment the Styx River arrived in the Nine Provinces, Fuxi and the others kept a close watch on him to prevent him from doing anything that would harm the human race.

Unexpectedly, after watching for so long, they discovered that the Styx River had traveled all the way to Kyushu just to follow Yang Tianyou and his companions into this small mountain. "What is he doing?"

Xuanyuan frowned, looking puzzled.

Styx is a well-known quasi-saint in the prehistoric world, famous for being difficult to deal with and unreasonable. If he gets ruthless, he would even dare to offend a saint like Houtu.

Yang Tianyou was just an ordinary Earth Immortal, and the two men in black robes were only Golden Immortals, a difference that was immeasurable compared to Styx.

He simply couldn't understand how these three people could possibly have any connection with the Styx River, causing it to travel hundreds of millions of miles to the Nine Provinces and then be so cautious as to set up an array outside this small mountain.

"Could these three be disciples of some Quasi-Saint level expert? Is Styx following them all this way in order to find that Quasi-Saint?"

Xuanyuan looked at the inconspicuous little mountain through the cloud mirror in front of him, his brows furrowing even deeper.

If there really is a quasi-saint powerhouse in this small mountain, and Styx came for this quasi-saint, judging from Styx's consistent style, a great battle between quasi-saints is probably about to break out.

This small hill is right next to Wuyi Mountain, which is Yang Xuan's training ground in the Nine Provinces. Given Yang Xuan's reputation among humans and in the Heavenly Court, even if Xuanyuan had never paid attention to this place, he could guess that there must be quite a few humans in this area.

If the Styx River were to erupt into another war between quasi-saints, a large number of humans would surely perish, and the many celestial gods in Wuyi Mountain would also be hard-pressed to escape.

There was just one thing he couldn't understand: this was the Nine Provinces, protected by the Nine Cauldrons Formation.

Even if someone is a quasi-saint, as long as they are not human, or like Yang Xuan who has obtained partial access to the Nine Cauldrons Formation, their cultivation will still be suppressed to some extent once they enter the Nine Provinces.

Cultivation and enlightenment would be greatly affected, so how could any quasi-saint be willing to stay in the Nine Provinces?
unless……

This quasi-saint has come here with a purpose!

Regardless of the circumstances, if the Styx River and that Quasi-Saint were to engage in a major battle, it would cause considerable losses to the human race and would also affect the righteous gods of the Heavenly Court in Wuyi Mountain.

Wuyi Mountain is Yang Xuan's training ground in the Nine Provinces. If Wuyi Mountain is damaged, the human race will have no way to explain it to Yang Xuan.

"Brother Fuxi!"

As the Styx River set up its grand formation and entered the small mountain, Xuanyuan produced a golden longsword and turned to look at Fuxi.

Among the three quasi-sages of the human race, Fuxi's method of deduction was the most ingenious.

Prior to this, they were worried about angering the Styx River, and with the primordial chaos now rampant, their methods of deduction were limited, so they did not make any deductions about the Styx River's arrival.

Making excuses for others is not a polite thing to do.

But now, with a quasi-saint war on the verge of breaking out, we can no longer just stand by and watch.

Moreover, since the Styx River has already come knocking, even with the interference of the calamity energy, we can still deduce something useful by making further deductions at this point.

If there truly is a quasi-saint within this small mountain, for the sake of humanity's safety, they have no choice but to act prematurely and expel the Styx River and that unknown quasi-saint from the Nine Provinces.

If you want to fight, go fight outside of Kyushu!
Of course, if Fuxi deduces that the quasi-sage in that small mountain, under the pressure of the Nine Cauldrons Formation, is staying in the Nine Provinces with the intention of plotting against the human race, then they wouldn't mind helping Styx.

Fuxi understood Xuanyuan's meaning; he shared the same thought. He then took down the Hetu and Luoshu from his waist and began to deduce their meaning.

But the next moment, he paused slightly, his expression turning somewhat strange.

This time, the deduction was easier than he had expected. With just a little deduction, he deduced the identity of the person in the mountains, who was not a quasi-saint at all!
Then he suddenly realized why the Styx River had entered the Nine Provinces so brazenly, without any concern for the human race's obstruction.

"What's wrong? Is there something unusual about this person's identity?"

Upon seeing this, Xuanyuan couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity.

"This person's identity is indeed somewhat special. In fact, he has some past grievances with our human race..."

Fuxi paused slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to keep it a secret.

"If Styx comes to cause trouble for this person, it won't harm the innocent and will even solve a problem for us. We can just watch from here."

As he spoke, Fuxi lightly touched the ground with his finger, completely disrupting the heavenly secrets of the place. Then he leaned back in his chair and stopped talking, looking like a charlatan who believed that heavenly secrets could not be revealed. This made Xuanyuan and Shennong extremely angry.

I hate people who only say half of what they mean!

If it weren't for the fact that you have connections, I would definitely beat you up!
at the same time.

Inside a natural cave on that small hill, two men in black robes led Yang Tianyou in.

The cave is quite simple and no one comes here for many years. Apart from a black pool of water in the center, the cave is full of weeds and moss.

After following the two men in black robes into the cave, Yang Tianyou's expression suddenly became dazed upon seeing the black pool of water, and he stood there dumbfounded.

next moment.

Then a divine soul flew out from between his eyebrows and fell into the pool in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, a black lotus flower emerged from the water, surrounded by black mist, forming a Taoist priest dressed in a black robe.

However, black mist surrounded him, obscuring his true appearance; one could only vaguely discern that he was a young male Taoist priest.

He glanced at Yang Tianyou, who looked dazed, and frowned slightly.

"Qingluan?"

"Why did Qingluan descend to the mortal realm with Yunhua? And who is that fiery red divine bird? Could it be the Vermilion Bird?"

"But why are those three people hanging out together?"

The more he thought about it, the more his brows furrowed, and his face was full of confusion.

But what puzzled him the most was that Fairy Yunhua didn't seem to have any feelings for Yang Tianyou at all, which was clearly strange.

"How is this possible? This is the result of years of planning by that person. Even Haotian did not notice it. Even if a Quasi-Saint could discover it, it would be impossible to break through that person's divine power."

"Could it be that the time is not yet ripe, and we need to make more contact?"

His brows furrowed, and he seemed unsure of how to proceed.

If it were just Fairy Yunhua alone, it would be easy to resolve through gradual contact. However, the problem is that Yunhua also has two Great Luo Golden Immortals, Qingluan and Zhuque, by her side.

Yang Tianyou was merely a human Earth Immortal, and it was clearly unrealistic for him to have any contact with Fairy Yunhua under the protection of the two birds and further activate his supernatural powers.

"We need to find a way to get Qingluan and Zhuque away, otherwise we won't have a chance to make a move..."

The Taoist in black nodded secretly, took out a jade talisman in his hand, and prepared to report the matter.

But just then, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the cave...

PS: I've noticed these past few days that writing 4,000 words per chapter is smoother and makes me feel better.

I'm thinking of changing the next update to 4,000 words a day, then 8,000 words a day. If I'm in good shape, I should be able to update 8,000 words a day for several days in a row (like the previous few days).

But no matter what, I can guarantee at least 18 words a month, and I will make up for any missed work.

The backend shows that 218104 words were updated last month. The extra 30,000 words are the result of updating like this in the last few days.
