Cultivation begins with forming a bond with a spirit bee.

Chapter 64 All Beings

"The Sun family's operation has begun."

Hearing the sounds of the battle, Qu Ye was not surprised; instead, he felt a sense of relief that the outcome had finally been settled.

He leaned closer to the window, listened intently, and discovered that the sound was coming from the direction of the inner city.

That's normal.

The inner city is home to some of the disciples of the three major families year-round, and the Sun family will certainly not let these people go.

However, although the incident did not affect the outer districts, Qu Ye still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

He disliked the feeling of not being able to grasp the specific situation and being forced to wait passively.

After thinking about it, he decided to go out and see what was going on, to learn as much as possible about the situation.

Don't get me wrong, Qu Ye had no intention of observing up close.

Although this might allow him to find some overlooked spiritual items, the risk was too great, and he wouldn't risk it for such a small amount.

It just so happens that his spiritual vision technique has reached its peak, allowing him to see quite far, and he hasn't used it much since then.

It's better to observe from the rooftop of the courtyard than to stay inside the cultivation room.

After thinking it over, Qu Ye walked out of the courtyard, his figure swayed, and he lightly leaped onto the bricks and tiles on the roof of the house.

The sounds of the battle continued unabated, so it was impossible that only Qu Ye could hear them.

He glanced around and noticed several cultivators craning their necks to look towards the inner city from the rooftops.

One of the unfamiliar Qi Refining Level 3 cultivators was right next to Qu Ye, on the roof of the courtyard where Zhou Ming used to live.

"Has Fellow Daoist Zhou moved away?"

Qu Ye nodded inwardly.

Fellow Daoist, you've had good luck this week, managing to avoid the turmoil in the market.

He withdrew his gaze, used his spiritual eye technique to make his eyes bright, and looked towards the inner city.

Because the buildings in the inner city were generally tall, he could only see some thick smoke from burning flames and a few fleeting spells.

All the situation was confined to a part of the inner city; the rest of the city was calm and peaceful.

Of course, the calm and tranquility mentioned here is only relative.

In the short time Qu Ye had been on the rooftop, he saw cultivators from other parts of the market heading towards the inner city.

These cultivators were either outlaws with fierce eyes, or they felt hopeless about their path to immortality and decided to gamble for wealth and status.

But in a corner that Qu Ye couldn't see.

A middle-aged female cultivator turned around and looked at the boy in the dilapidated courtyard, her gaze slowly hardening.

Seemingly sensing something, the little boy stepped forward and tugged at the female cultivator's robe: "Mother, where are you going?"

The female cultivator gently patted the boy's head: "Don't worry, Mother will prepare some spiritual items for you. My son will be able to cultivate immortality soon."

Unexpectedly, the boy pulled even tighter and said timidly, "I don't want to cultivate immortality anymore. Mother, please don't go."

Upon hearing this, the female cultivator's initially resolute resolve almost wavered.

But when she thought about her meager income and her child's future, her resolve was strengthened once again.

Do you want to watch your child grow old and die before you?

She took the boy's small hand and led him to lie down on the stone bed, whispering, "My dear, don't be afraid. Take a nap, and I'll be back soon. When I return, I'll make you your favorite spirit fish."

"Great! We get to eat spirit fish! Mother, you have to keep your word!"

The female cultivator responded and watched the boy drift off to sleep with a sweet smile on his face.

She stood up, gave the boy a deep look, turned around, and headed towards the inner city without looking back.

In another courtyard, conversations could be heard at that moment.

A middle-aged monk earnestly advised, "Father, this is a rare opportunity. If it doesn't work out, so be it. But if it does, our family's life will be much better."

The one he called his father, a cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining, with a deeply lined face, was very old and sat silently on a stone chair.

..

Even if you don't think about me, you should at least think about your granddaughter.

Seemingly touched by those words, Lao Xiu thought of the little girl who always obediently accompanied him, patted his bottom, and stood up.

He took a close look at the son he had raised with such care, his eyes filled with complex emotions, and sighed.

Without saying anything, he summoned a tattered little hammer and headed towards the inner city.

Such situations are constantly occurring throughout the market.

Qu Ye even saw a cultivator who thought the market was completely unmanaged, so he smashed open a shop in the outer city and prepared to plunder it.

Before they could even act, they were apprehended by the Yang family's law enforcement team, who were maintaining order in the distance, and their heads were displayed to the public.

After this battle, no cultivator dared to continue causing trouble in the outer city and all flocked to the inner city area.

The fighting within became more frequent.

Qu Ye stood on the roof for a while longer, and only breathed a sigh of relief after he felt that the situation was indeed under control and would not affect him at all.

In this light, it seems that he made the right decision not to leave directly earlier.

It's just a matter of waiting a few more days.

After all, the Sun family had been planning for many years, and the battle could not remain deadlocked for too long.

Either the Sun family will quickly defeat the Hou family, or Hou Zhilan will successfully break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and the Sun family will retreat.

Qu Ye shook his head, preparing to jump off the roof and return to his room to cultivate.

As I was leaving, I glanced around and suddenly spotted a somewhat familiar figure on the edge of the inner city.

-

Although it was somewhat blurry, Qu Ye was still able to get a general idea of ​​what was happening on the edge of the inner city, since there were no tall buildings blocking the view.

"Isn't this—Manager Chen from Tianxiang Pavilion?"

"How did she get there?"

Qu Ye was somewhat puzzled, so he activated his Spirit Eye Technique to its maximum and continued to stare at the target.

Chen Rong controlled a long sword magic weapon, approached a fleeing cultivator, and pierced his head with a single strike.

This cultivator was still wearing the robes of a Hou family disciple.

She then stepped forward, collected the disciple's storage bag, and turned to walk back into the inner city.

"Wait, why did Chen Rong kill the Hou family disciples?"

Qu Ye's eyes narrowed, and a thousand thoughts raced through his mind.

Many details were brought together at this moment.

If the Sun family wanted to prevent Hou Zhilan from breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, then it was entirely possible for them to work on Foundation Establishment spiritual objects.

Such spiritual objects are extremely rare in Yumen Market. In all the years Qu Ye has been in Yumen Market, he has only seen one once, at the auction of Tianxiang Pavilion.

Furthermore, the current manager of Tianxiang Pavilion is actually slaughtering Hou family disciples.

Could it be that the Sun family colluded with Tianxiang Pavilion to tamper with the Earth Fire Mystic Fiend?

Probably!

Qu Ye recalled the Foundation Establishment cultivator named Gongsun Jin whom he had met before.

No wonder the Sun family sought out rogue cultivators to test the Hou family. Qu Ye had thought that the test had another purpose, but it turned out to be to hide the Tianxiang Pavilion.

After all, the Hou family wasn't stupid. If the Sun family did nothing, it would only make them more suspicious.

Therefore, the Sun family simply turned the tables on the plan, thus concealing their core scheme and mixing it into a large number of ordinary tests.

Having figured this out, Qu Ye finally had a more comprehensive understanding of the whole incident.

"Wonderful."

He gave a silent sigh of admiration, then stopped paying attention to the inner city and returned to the courtyard.

Regardless of how the two sides fight, he decided not to inquire, not to participate, and not to get close.

After all, he and the Hou family owed each other nothing. The only person in the Hou family he was somewhat worried about was Red Hare.

However, it's unlikely that the Sun family would casually kill such a rare and spirited steed as Red Hare.

Once the situation stabilizes, I will immediately flee far away and embark on the road to Wuliufang City.

Let's return our perspective to Cicada Mountain.
