With the transaction completed, Ye Yun's last objective in coming here was also achieved.

The pills needed to break through to the Dao Foundation stage, the information about the Ascension Sect, and even the three thousand points of fortune value on Bai Zhi's body.

The harvest this time was truly bountiful!

He glanced at Bai Zhi beside him and said calmly.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I should take my leave now."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Bai Zhi tried to persuade him to stay.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, won't you stay a little longer? Shall we find a place to have some tea and chat?"

She felt that there were too many mysteries surrounding this Nangong.

If I have the chance, I'd really like to study it in detail.

Ye Yun shook his head slightly and replied calmly.

"No need for that. I have some matters to attend to and need to leave early."

Normally, he might actually agree to stay, have some tea, and chat with the other person.

But Xian'er is still at the inn, so it's not appropriate to keep her there while I'm out chasing women.

Therefore, as soon as the matter was over, Ye Yun planned to return home.

"Oh well."

Bai Zhi sighed softly, then seemed to think of something.

"By the way, could you please keep what happened between us a secret, Fellow Daoist Nangong?"

"Especially to Ruoruo, please don't mention our matter to her."

Ye Yun wasn't too surprised by this explanation.

He smiled and nodded, then spoke slowly.

"Sure, I'm not usually a big mouth."

"Um... thank you very much."

Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile.

After that, she thought for a moment and then gave some more instructions.

"By the way, when you return, please be careful of the Chen family and make sure they don't set their sights on you."

Based on her understanding of the Chen family members, they were all vengeful and vindictive.

Nangong ruined their plans today, so they probably won't let him off so easily.

"Understood, I will be careful."

Ye Yun smiled slightly and nodded.

When he gets back, he will definitely take a look around.

Hearing him say that, Bai Zhi felt a little relieved.

"Hmm...that's good."

Then, she hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"By the way... Fellow Daoist Nangong, will we ever meet again?"

It wasn't that she had deep feelings for Ye Yun, but rather that the abilities, or rather the resources, he displayed deeply attracted her.

Not only can they produce the Grade 9 Rejuvenating Pill, but they can also produce those Grade 8 pills.

Furthermore, they are all flawless quality pills!

This clearly shows that the other party must have many other flawless pills in their possession!

If we can get in touch with them, they might be able to help us in similar situations in the future.

This is why she insisted on keeping her promise.

In this way, on the one hand, the agreed-upon matter was fulfilled, and on the other hand, the mind was at peace.

On the other hand, having had physical intimacy with the other person in this way can take the relationship to the next level.

Ye Yun chuckled without hesitation at the question.

"Of course, if we are destined to meet again, we will meet again."

That being said, unless we need to contact them again in the future.

Otherwise, they most likely won't come looking for you on their own initiative.

On the one hand, there was nothing wrong, and on the other hand, it was indeed too far away.

Given his cultivation level, it would take him several days to travel from the Ancient Holy Land.

"Well... okay."

Bai Zhi couldn't help but sigh softly, but on the surface, she still wore a smile.

She looked at Ye Yun and gently waved her hand.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, we'll meet again someday."

"Well, see you again sometime."

Ye Yun also waved, a faint smile on his face.

After that, he quietly left and departed from the Alchemist Association.

Bai Zhi, who came later, even came to deliver it in person.

They escorted me all the way to the door and even helped me scout out the surroundings.

Finding that no one was watching nearby, he felt a little relieved and nodded to Ye Yun as he left.

However, there was still a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

"Sigh... It's a pity that we couldn't get him to stay in the end."

Even she found it a little strange that her emotions were being affected by the other person.

They've only met once, so is it because the other person took her virginity?

Thinking about this, her thoughts became somewhat chaotic, and she couldn't help but shake her head.

A short while later, a soft female voice came from behind.

"Sister, has Senior Nangong left?"

She turned around and saw her younger sister, Bai Ruoruo, who had just come back to life.

She walked over at some point and peeked out the door.

Upon seeing this, Bai Zhi paused for a moment, then immediately asked with concern.

"Ruoruo, why aren't you resting inside? What are you doing out here?"

She had initially thought her younger sister was still meditating.

Bai Ruoruo shook her head slightly, a smile appearing on her face.

"I'm fine. I've regained a lot of strength in the past two hours."

As she spoke, she turned around in front of Bai Zhi to indicate that she had indeed recovered quite a bit.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi said helplessly.

Even so, you need to rest some more to avoid a relapse of your old injury.

"Okay, I know, sister. I'll be careful."

Bai Ruoruo smiled and then repeated the question she had just asked.

"Speaking of which, Fellow Daoist Nangong, he..."

He's gone.

Bai Zhi turned her head, glanced at the street in the distance, and sighed softly.

"Originally, I wanted to keep him a little longer."

Her words betrayed a deep sense of regret.

At this moment, Bai Ruoruo asked with some curiosity.

"Sister, do you know where those fellow Daoists from Nangong came from?"

She was quite interested in Fellow Daoist Nangong, who had given her the life-saving elixir, and wanted to learn more about him.

However, Bai Zhi gave a bitter smile and shook her head helplessly.

"This... I don't know either. He came to me today on his own initiative..."

She recounted in detail to her younger sister the process of meeting Ye Yun and discussing the transaction that day.

Of course, in this process, she overlooked the fact that she was in a relationship with the other person because of her role as the older sister.

This was not only for his own sake, but also to take care of his sister's feelings.

If the other party knew that he had sacrificed himself to the former Fellow Daoist Nangong in order to save her, he would probably feel extremely guilty.

Therefore, it's best to keep this matter only to myself and Fellow Daoist Nangong...

After listening, Bai Ruoruo suddenly understood and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"I see. He really is a mysterious guy."

"I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to see him again."

She had a rather favorable impression of that fellow Daoist Nangong.

Especially the mysterious aura surrounding the other person.

If I had the opportunity, I would really like to get to know them better.

Hearing her regretful words, Bai Zhi smiled faintly and offered words of comfort.

"Don't worry, if fate allows, we will definitely meet again."

The words Ye Yun had used to comfort her were now being used by her to comfort Bai Ruoruo.

Fortunately, Bai Ruoruo seemed to agree with her words and nodded.

"Yes, I believe it will!"

……

On the other side, Ye Yun, who had left the Alchemist Association, quickly blended into the crowd.

At this moment, he was just like one of the millions of ordinary people.

Shortly after leaving, Ye Yun asked Nangong Jiutian in his mind.

"Senior Nangong, is no one following me in secret?"

Bai Zhi's reminder had made him more cautious.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Jiutian said calmly.

"There is indeed a little mouse watching you in the dark."

It is clear, as Bai Zhi said, that she has been targeted by the Chen family and they intend to deal with her.

Ye Yun frowned immediately and asked a question.

"Hmm? What level of cultivation?"

If one's cultivation level is too high, it can really be a bit troublesome.

Immediately, Nangong Jiutian replied.

"Probably... the third level of the road construction."

"A cultivator who builds the Dao...?"

Ye Yun's expression turned even uglier; this was truly a tricky situation.

The key point is that it's very difficult for him to shake off cultivators who have achieved the Dao of Foundation Establishment.

As for teleporting continuously through a crowd, while it might shake off the opponent, it would also expose one's trump card.

Furthermore, I can't go straight back to the inn, which is quite troublesome...

Suddenly, Ye Yun thought of something and asked Nangong Jiutian.

"By the way, senior, could you do me a favor?"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Jiutian knew that the other party was up to no good.

"Huh? What are you up to now, kid?"

Immediately, Ye Yun chuckled.

"It's nothing, just... to scare them a little."

"Oh?"

Nangong Jiutian was somewhat curious.

Afterwards, Ye Yun shared his thoughts with her.

After listening, Nangong Jiutian sighed.

"Kid, you really do have a way with things..."

"Of course!"

Ye Yun smiled slightly, and then, as planned, suddenly stopped in the crowd.

Meanwhile, not far behind him on a street corner, a monk in blue robes pretended to be buying something.

Their gazes were fixed on Ye Yun, who remained constantly within the crowd.

"This guy... he looks pretty ordinary no matter how you look at him."

Seeing that the other party was completely unaware, the monk in blue robes revealed a mocking expression.

Among the cultivators of the Chen family, he is the most skilled in concealment and tracking.

He is quite confident in his abilities in this area.

If one is careful, even an ordinary expert at the Imperial Realm might not be able to detect them.

Of course, it was precisely because of this that Elder Chen Hong had him keep an eye on this guy who had intercepted their goods.

"I wonder where this guy came from, that he dares to offend even our Chen family..."

Just as the monk in blue robes was pondering, he suddenly noticed that the person following him in the crowd paused for a moment.

"Hmm? What's wrong with him?"

The cultivator in blue was taken aback, his brows furrowing slightly. Had the other party noticed something?

Just as he was thinking this, he saw the person he was following suddenly turn around.

A pair of icy, abyss-like eyes swept across the dense crowd and stared straight at him.

That single glance caused the blue-robed cultivator to shudder, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his very soul trembled.

"Oh no...we've been discovered!"

The cultivator in blue swallowed hard, and almost without hesitation, he immediately disappeared into the crowd.

He only breathed a slight sigh of relief after disappearing into the distance and not sensing anyone following him.

Even now, he is still sweating profusely.

Just thinking about the look in that person's eyes made his body tremble.

"Just what level is that guy at...?"

Even the previous head of the family had never given him this feeling.

But in any case, the tracking can't continue any longer.

Just kidding, we've already been discovered, so following them any further would be tantamount to provoking them.

That glance just now was probably a warning to myself.

If I continue following them, I fear my life will be in danger.

"No, we must go back and tell the Grand Elder right away."

After all, he was just a respected elder of the Chen family, and their relationship was one of cooperation.

He could risk his life for the Chen family, but risking his life is impossible...

……

At the same time, Ye Yun, who was in the crowd, withdrew his gaze and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Great, great, this really works!"

The coldness in his eyes quickly faded.

As for Nangong Jiutian, he sighed in his mind.

"It's really amazing that you could come up with the idea of ​​having me scare him with your body."

What they just did was simply switch control of their bodies.

Then, you should glance at the other person as you walk through the crowd, give them a look, and let them interpret it themselves.

As it turned out, it really scared people away.

Ye Yun chuckled lightly at this.

"Judging from your eyesight, senior, I reckon no one below the Emperor rank would dare to follow you."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Jiutian said quietly.

"Oh? You mean my gaze is frightening?"

"Ahem, that's not what I meant."

Ye Yun coughed lightly and quickly explained.

"What I mean is, your gaze is very intimidating, enough to deter any troublemakers!"

"Hmph, that's more like it. At least it sounds like human language."

Nangong Jiutian gave a light snort and said calmly.

As for Ye Yun, he was filled with doubt.

Isn't your gaze frightening?

For cultivators, their senses are much sharper than those of ordinary people.

Naturally, one can also sense the special information and even emotions contained in a person's eyes.

Therefore, sometimes, a single glance from a powerful figure can terrify a low-level cultivator half to death; that's the meaning of it...

"So, nobody's following us anymore, right?"

"Hmm, that's all."

Nangong Jiutian replied.

Hearing this, Ye Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the cultivator from the Chen family simply sent one person to keep an eye on things here.

That makes sense; if it's just about tracking, too many people are actually not a good thing.

"Never mind, let's go back to the inn first."

Ye Yun shook his head, then found a secluded spot and changed his appearance back to normal.

Only then did he quietly blend back into the crowd and head towards his inn.

During this time, I could hear the chatter of passersby.

"Have you heard? The date for the Alliance Leader Battle seems to have been moved up by a day."

"Really? So that means... three days from now?"

"Yes, I plan to go two days in advance to grab a seat, so that I won't end up with nowhere to stand."

"I'm more concerned about who will win this battle for the title of leader."

"Is there even a question? It's definitely Alliance Leader Jian Wuyai! I believe he can create another glorious chapter!"

"I think Fairy Jade Snow is more powerful..."

Listening to the two's discussion, Ye Yun seemed to be deep in thought.

"Three days later? That's fast..."

He then disappeared into the crowd and quickly left.

……

On the other side of Wanmeng City, inside the Chen Family Mansion.

Chen Hong returned quickly after leaving the Alchemist Association.

He planned to go directly to the head of the family and prepare to report his experience.

After waiting for a long time, the other party finally came out of the pass.

Only now have I had the chance to report the situation.

"Master, this is what happened. That guy who suddenly appeared ruined all our plans."

After hearing this, Chen Wufeng, the head of the Chen family, had a gloomy face and could not hide his anger.

"Damn it! That guy completely disregards the Chen family!"

It's worth noting that they spent a considerable amount of resources to buy the Fuyang Pill before Baizhi could.

But things turned out quite differently; because of this unexpected guy, everything fell through.

At this moment, Chen Hong asked.

"So what do we do now?"

Chen Wufeng said with a gloomy face.

"Did you have someone keep an eye on that guy?"

"Of course! I've already had Guiyi keep an eye on him. With his abilities, there shouldn't be any problem."

"That's good……"

Before Chen Wufeng could finish speaking...

A figure rushed in from outside, moving as fast as the wind.

"Elder! Patriarch!"

As soon as the man entered, he cried out, his face ashen.

Upon seeing this, Chen Hong frowned slightly.

"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on things over there? Why did you come back?"

The person who returned this time was none other than Gui Yi, the elder who had been sent to track down Nangong.

Upon hearing this, Gui Yi turned pale and hurriedly explained.

"Elder, Patriarch, that guy has found me."

"What?"

Chen Wufeng and Chen Hong frowned slightly and exchanged a glance.

They had considerable confidence in this person's tracking ability.

"What exactly happened?"

Chen Wufeng immediately asked.

Upon seeing this, Gui Yi quickly explained.

"Just now, while I was tracking them..."

He recounted his experiences in detail.

After listening, Chen Wufeng and Chen Hong both had extremely solemn expressions.

"Damn it... this guy seems likely to be a high-level Dao-controlling cultivator, or even..."

Chen Wufeng didn't continue, but the other two understood that he meant to talk about Emperor-level experts.

Only beings of this caliber could scare away a ghost with a single glance.

Chen Hong took a deep breath and asked.

"Should we continue? Or should we ask that senior colleague for permission?"

After all, the Chen family still has Jade Snow Fairy, who is also an Emperor-level expert!

Upon hearing this, Chen Wufeng glared at him and said coldly.

"She's currently preparing for battle with all her might, so sending her to deal with a powerhouse who's suspected to be at the Emperor level is a bad idea."

"How many heads do you think we have to chop off?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Hong fell silent.

Indeed, although Fairy Yuxue is now in their Chen family, they cannot borrow her power at all.

Moreover, they hadn't even told the other party that they had spent a lot of money to buy the Rejuvenating Pill for Angelica dahurica.

"So what do we do now?"

"Let's leave that for now."

Chen Wufeng shook his head decisively and said coldly.

"If it is truly an Emperor-level expert, then it is not something we can touch. Let's put this matter aside for now."

If we stop here, at least we can stop the damage in time. But if they continue to pursue us, they might wipe out our entire family.

He was still able to clearly distinguish the pros and cons involved.

Only by being able to bend and stretch can one achieve great things!

Then, he looked at Chen Hong and gave instructions.

"Anyway, go find someone to investigate something else."

Chen Hong was taken aback and asked in confusion.

"What is it?"

At this moment, Chen Wufeng said calmly.

"My youngest son, Chen Feng, was beaten in public on the street yesterday."
