Immortal Life: Starting with Daily Last Words

Chapter 3 The Danger of the Last Words

Yu Daoxuan did not rush back to his sect, but continued to cultivate and consolidate his cultivation.

Until late at night, the silvery light was like water.

"It's midnight now. I wonder what last words will appear on the golden tablet today."

Yu Daoxuan's heart stirred, and the ancient, gilded stele instantly floated before his eyes.

A spiritual light flowed across the stele, and lines of characters slowly emerged.

"My name is Yu Daoxuan. By the time you see this, it will be too late for regrets. Ma Fuping, the manager of Guyuezhai, secretly sprinkled tracking powder on my clothes. Caught off guard, I was ambushed and killed on my way home, dying with resentment in my heart..."

Upon reading the words on Qing's last words, Yu Daoxuan was startled.

In this world of cultivation where power resides within oneself, the law of the jungle prevails.

Even though Baotai Market was established by the Qingyuan Sect and has Foundation Establishment cultivators from the sect stationed there year-round, it doesn't mean it's absolutely safe.

Therefore, Yu Daoxuan acted cautiously all the way, but he did not expect that he would still be targeted.

"It seems that Ma Fuping saw me asking about the ancient box and noticed that I was only at the third level of Qi Refining, so he thought I was a fat sheep and planned to ambush me on the way and rob me of my belongings."

Yu Daoxuan's mind raced, and he instantly understood the cause and effect.

Ma Fuping must be quite powerful to have established himself in the antique street. With his newly broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, he is no match for Ma Fuping alone.

Without the Golden Inscription warning, tomorrow's return journey would certainly be fraught with danger.

After a moment's thought, Yu Daoxuan came up with two solutions.

First, we should seek help from the sect's law enforcement team.

The sect has an enforcement team in the market to maintain the safety and order of the market.

As a promising young disciple of the Qingyuan Sect, the enforcement team would most likely lend a hand should he ask for help.

Secondly, they swallowed their anger, changed into a new set of clothes, and quietly left the market to avoid the massacre.

But Yu Daoxuan was never one to swallow his anger; he always sought revenge for wrongs and repaid kindness with kindness.

Having made up his mind, he immediately took out a new set of blue clothes and a new straw hat from his storage bag and put them on.

They left the old clothes and black hat, stained with tracking powder, in the cave to create the illusion that they were still at the inn.

He walked out of the inn and headed straight for the market enforcement team's station.

The market enforcement team's headquarters is located in the northwest corner of the market. Two sect enforcement cultivators dressed in black armor are stationed at the entrance, both of whom are at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

The market enforcement team is divided into four teams, each with ten members. Only cultivators at the late stage of Qi Refining can serve as team leaders, and the team leaders are generally at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Yu Daoxuan stepped forward and revealed his identity and purpose to the gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper monk dared not delay and immediately allowed him to enter, then went to the backyard to report.

Before long, a burly figure strode out from the camp.

He was dressed in a black law enforcement uniform, with a resolute face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was Chen Hu, the captain of Team A, with a cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Upon hearing that a promising young disciple of his sect had been framed, Chen Hu felt both angry and delighted.

What enraged him was that someone in the market dared to touch a disciple of his Qingyuan Sect; they were truly audacious and courting death.

He was delighted that he had another opportunity to make a contribution.

He strode up to Yu Daoxuan and asked in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Yu, please explain in detail what happened? Who dares to be so bold as to plot against a disciple of my Qingyuan Sect in the market?"

Yu Daoxuan bowed respectfully and told Chen Hu the whole story.

However, the details of Jinbei's last words were deliberately omitted, only that he accidentally discovered the tracking powder on his body.

Upon hearing this, Chen Hu's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he said, "That Ma Fuping! He dares to harm people on my Qingyuan Sect's territory! He truly doesn't know what's good for him!"

"Junior Brother Yu, let's go to the inn where you're staying first to check the tracking powder on your clothes."

Upon arriving at the inn's room, Chen Hu confirmed everything was in order, his smile widening as he thought that capturing Ma Fuping would surely bring him great merit.

He turned to look at Yu Daoxuan, his tone resolute: "Junior Brother Yu, you have indeed been targeted by a tracking device, but don't worry, with me, Chen Hu, here, I will make sure that Ma Fuping is doomed."

"Then I'll have to trouble you all, fellow disciples."

Yu Daoxuan bowed and thanked him.

"No need to be so polite." Chen Hu waved his hand. "Maintaining the safety of the market is the responsibility of my enforcement team. Moreover, you are a cultivator from my Qingyuan Sect, so there is no reason for us to sit idly by."

After a pause, Chen Hu looked somewhat embarrassed: "However, Junior Brother Yu, there's something I need to make clear to you."

"Although we have confirmed that you have been drugged with tracking particles, this does not directly prove that it was Ma Fuping who did it. Without concrete evidence, we cannot directly go to your door to arrest you."

Seeing that Yu Daoxuan remained calm, Chen Hu continued, "So, I have an idea, and I need Junior Brother Yu's cooperation."

"You pretended not to know you were being tracked and continued to stroll around the market as usual, luring Ma Fuping to send people to follow you. The moment they made their move outside the market, we made our move and arrested them, catching them red-handed."

Fearing that Yu Daoxuan might be worried, he quickly added, "Don't worry, we would never joke with the lives of our fellow disciples. I will first send some brothers to ambush you on your return journey, and I will also personally keep an eye on your back to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

After saying that, he took out a golden talisman from his storage bag: "This is a first-grade high-quality golden talisman, which can withstand a full-force attack from a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator. If you are willing to cooperate, junior brother, I will give you this golden talisman for self-defense."

"In addition, if you encounter any difficulties in the sect or the market in the future, you can come to me directly, and I, Chen Hu, will do my best to help you."

Yu Daoxuan was greatly surprised.

Unexpectedly, Chen Hu, who looks like he has thick eyebrows and big eyes and a heroic air, is actually shrewd and calculating.

He pondered for a moment, considering the feasibility of the matter.

Chen Hu's plan was meticulous, and with the Golden Light Talisman protecting him, the risk was low. It would also allow Chen Hu, as an elite inner disciple, to owe a favor.

He immediately accepted the golden talisman, cupped his hands, and said, "I'll leave it all to Senior Brother Chen. Thank you for your help."

"Haha, no trouble at all." Chen Hu was overjoyed. "Let's not delay, let's make the arrangements now. You can prepare briefly and then proceed according to plan."

After making some arrangements, Chen Hu left under cover of night.

Yu Daoxuan sat cross-legged on the bed, his mind filled with all sorts of thoughts.

Sometimes, the scene of him joining Chen Hu and others to ambush Ma Fuping would appear in his mind, and sometimes, the scene of Ma Fuping suddenly using a magical talisman to break the Golden Light Talisman and severely injure him would appear in his mind.

But he knew that worrying unnecessarily would only disturb his resolve.

He immediately suppressed his chaotic thoughts and began to cultivate quietly.

Time passed slowly, and before we knew it, it was Chen Shi (7-9 AM).

Yu Daoxuan put his old clothes and bamboo hat back on, held the golden talisman in his hand, and began to stroll around the market as planned.

He remained calm, sometimes looking at the spirits in the shops, sometimes asking a few questions to the street vendors, pretending to be completely unguarded, but actually keeping an eye on the movements behind him.

Before long, he sensed two subtle presences quietly following behind him.

Those two auras were extremely well concealed; if he hadn't broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining and greatly increased his strength, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect them.

He remained calm and continued strolling leisurely until noon before leaving the market.

An hour later, just as he stepped onto a secluded path, the two figures behind him could no longer contain themselves and sped up to catch up with him.

Yu Daoxuan noticed the undisguised aura behind him and quickly took out the Golden Light Talisman and the sect's standard magic weapon, the Green Leaf Sword.

The two men were dressed in black, their faces covered by masks, revealing only a pair of sinister eyes, exuding an aura of the seventh level of Qi Refining.

The man in black on the left was quite surprised to see Yu Daoxuan stop in place, thinking he had been ambushed.

But after glancing around and finding nothing amiss, he said in a chilling tone, "Kid, be smart and hand over all your treasures, and I might give you a quick death. Otherwise, I'll make sure you die a horrible death."

Hearing the threat from the other side, Yu Daoxuan showed no panic whatsoever. Instead, he smiled faintly and said, "Is that so? Then let's see if you have the ability. Senior Brother Chen Hu, it's your turn to make your move."

"Chen Hu?!"

The two men in black were terrified when they heard the name.

They never expected that the kid they were ordered to intercept and kill would actually bring in Chen Hu, the captain of the law enforcement team.

Chen Hu was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, while the two of them were at the seventh level of Qi Refining and were no match for him.

"run!"

The two reacted very quickly, immediately turning around and trying to escape into the mountains and forests.

Just then, two sharp auras suddenly burst forth from both sides of the forest, instantly blocking their path. These were the law enforcement officers that Chen Hu had arranged to ambush them in advance.

Immediately afterwards, a burly figure descended from the sky, his aura as deep and profound as an abyss; it was Chen Hu.

He stood in front of the two, a cold smile on his face: "Since you're here, don't even think about leaving."

As he spoke, he moved, and two sharp sword energies shot out swiftly, striking the two men directly in the chest.

Within a few moves, the two men in black were subdued, their spirit-locking chains binding them, leaving them completely powerless to resist.

Upon returning to the law enforcement headquarters in Fangshi, Yu Daoxuan did not participate in the remaining arrest operations.

About half an hour later, footsteps were heard outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Hu walked in with a beaming smile, his face full of smug satisfaction.

"Junior Brother Yu, Ma Fuping has already been brought to justice."

Chen Hu strode up to Yu Daoxuan, a look of delight on his face.

After speaking, he took out a storage bag from his bosom and handed it to Yu Daoxuan.

"These are the spoils we found on Ma Fuping. Apart from some that were handed over to the sect, the rest were distributed among the brothers in the team. There are two hundred spirit stones in this bag, which are for you. Don't think it's too little, Junior Brother Yu."

Yu Daoxuan was secretly pleased, not expecting that Chen Hu was indeed a trustworthy person.

He is currently short of spirit stones, and these two hundred spirit stones are undoubtedly a godsend.

He did not refuse, but cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you very much, Senior Brother Chen. I will accept this token of my appreciation."

Seeing that Yu Daoxuan accepted the gift, Chen Hu smiled even more broadly, then lowered his voice, his tone tinged with excitement: "Junior Brother Yu, you have no idea how much we've accomplished this time!"
