Immortal Life: Starting with Daily Last Words

Chapter 98 Recommendation for Extermination of the Clan

The sect's high-ranking members are about to arrive at Jinyang Island to conduct a thorough investigation. Yu Daoxuan, his fellow disciple surnamed Yu, and Luo Cheng have suspended their sea patrol duties and will remain at Jinyang Mountain to await further orders.

Thanks to He Zhixia's behind-the-scenes maneuvering, the three of them had already agreed on their story.

This matter was not an unforgivable crime such as betraying one's sect or falling into demonic possession. After weighing the pros and cons, all three agreed to help.

At noon, three streaks of light broke through the sky and landed steadily in front of the main hall of Jinyang Mountain.

There were three people who came this time: sect elders Tie Ting and Cao Can, and a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from the He family.

After the three men entered the hall, they sat in the main seats with solemn expressions and were summoned one by one for questioning.

Yu Daoxuan stepped forward first to answer, calmly recounting the entire story of his chance encounter with the Cai family's fleet in Jiuqu Bay, while still concealing the secret of the Ear Mouse.

As for He Ziming's trip to Fuchan Island, it was based on the explanation given in advance by He Zhixia.

After Yu Daoxuan and the other two finished speaking, Cao Can remained calm and said nothing more.

The face of the Foundation Establishment Elder of the He family grew increasingly ashen.

He Jingxian is a young generation that the He family strongly supports, and the hope for the future of the family.

Now, not only has his own death and spiritual dissipation been caused by greed, but it has also led to the deaths of several fellow disciples, which truly breaks the hearts of him and the entire Ho family.

Tie Ting replied indifferently, "Nephew He, you went to great lengths to come to our aid alone."

This statement, though seemingly approving, actually contains a deeper meaning.

Yu Daoxuan, with his clear mind, instantly understood the crux of the matter.

Tie Ting, Cao Can, and the others were all veteran Foundation Establishment cultivators who had lived for over a hundred years. With their extensive experience, how could they not see through the truth of the matter?

Naturally, he knew that He Ziming's trip to Fuchan Island was driven by greed, and that he ultimately returned empty-handed and seriously injured.

However, this matter was ultimately He Ziming's own fault, unlike He Jingxian, who led a team without authorization that resulted in the tragic deaths of seven or eight fellow disciples.

Given He Yiming's status and position within the sect, the group simply turned a blind eye and did not investigate further.

After the questioning ended, everyone dispersed.

Tie Ting left Yu Daoxuan alone and moved to a secluded spot in the back of the mountain.

A gentle mountain breeze blows, and the pines rustle in the wind.

Tie Ting looked at the young man before him with a hint of approval: "It's been several years since we last met. My junior nephew has already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. With your spiritual root, it's clear how diligently you've worked."

"Senior Uncle, you flatter me." Yu Daoxuan humbly cupped his hands and said the words he had prepared beforehand, "I was just lucky enough to obtain a Heaven-Mending Pill during my early years as a nascent immortal, which cleansed my roots and improved my aptitude, thus enabling me to make progress in my cultivation today."

Since returning from Haiyue Island, he no longer deliberately concealed his cultivation progress.

Since he was about to reach the Foundation Establishment stage and his cultivation could no longer be contained, he simply used the Heaven-Mending Pill as an excuse.

In the world of cultivation, there are countless opportunities, and it is not uncommon for rare and precious materials to improve one's aptitude.

When Cao Shen visited Xiexing Island before, he gave the same explanation.

Upon hearing this, Tie Ting's eyes flashed with surprise, and he said, "Junior Nephew Yu actually managed to obtain such an ancient treasure pill; his fortune is truly extraordinary."

He didn't ask any further questions.

Instead, she changed the subject, asking probingly, "I wonder how far you've progressed in your Wind and Thunder Steps?"

"Please enlighten me, Senior Master!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Daoxuan moved and immediately unleashed the Wind and Thunder Steps.

A flash of inspiration appeared beneath his feet, and his figure moved like the wind and lightning, so fast that only a blur remained in his movements. His steps were light yet contained the force of thunder.

Thanks to the constant blessing of the Mysterious Pearl, his cultivation of all techniques became twice as effective with half the effort.

After years of arduous practice, he had already mastered the Wind and Thunder Steps.

Seeing this level of skill, Tie Ting looked pleased: "Nephew's magical talent is extraordinary. Junior Brother Qi has taken on a fine disciple!"

"I was originally thinking of giving you a few pointers, but now it seems there's no need at all. Junior Brother Cao's recommendation was indeed spot on."

"Recommendation?"

Yu Daoxuan was slightly taken aback, his face showing surprise.

"You'll find out soon enough when you go find Junior Brother Cao. I won't say any more. Go now."

Tie Ting waved his hand, his smile gentle.

"I'll take my leave, junior disciple."

Filled with doubt, Yu Daoxuan went to Cao Can's temporary residence.

Upon seeing him enter, Cao Can smiled broadly and got straight to the point: "Dao Xuan, don't say that your uncle didn't look after you. The matter of Fu Chan Island has caused too much of a stir and has already alarmed our master. Now, the sect is determined to unite with several surrounding sects to wipe out the demon cultivators of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect and eliminate the hidden dangers."

"The Cai family of Yiping colluded with the Seven Monsters of Qilian to wreak havoc on the region, and their crimes are undeniable. They are merely a small Qi Refining force, with the highest-ranking members being only two at the ninth level of Qi Refining. They are not worth the sect's serious mobilization. Therefore, I recommend you to take full responsibility for confiscating and exterminating the Cai family."

Yu Daoxuan then understood and immediately bowed respectfully, saying, "Uncle-Master, rest assured, Daoxuan will certainly live up to the expectations of the sect and Uncle-Master, and complete this task safely."

He knew that Cao Shen was deliberately trying to gain merit and benefits for him.

Destroying the Cai family of Yiping would not only secure a merit for the sect, but also allow them to make a small fortune from the Cai family.

From these words, he also understood that the sect's elders had already made a comprehensive plan before their arrival.

Having calmed down somewhat, Yu Daoxuan inquired about the important matter that had been weighing on his mind for a long time: "Uncle-Master, have you discovered anything regarding the Xuanmu Sect incident?"

When this matter was mentioned, Cao Shen's smile vanished instantly, and his expression became somewhat serious.

"Previously, when I captured the head of the Changping Island branch, I did uncover some secrets."

"This Xuanmu Sect is no ordinary folk cult. It has risen to prominence at an extremely rapid pace. Now, it has branches almost everywhere in the islands of Nanming Continent. It is suspected to be related to the Wan Yao Sect. Its background is extremely complicated."

Yu Daoxuan's heart tightened, and he pressed on, "Uncle-Master, a relative of mine has mistakenly entered this sect and has disappeared without a trace. Does the head of that branch altar know anything about his whereabouts?"

Cao Can sighed softly, his face darkening: "I was just about to ask about this, but that witch seemed to be bound by a forbidden technique. She died suddenly after only three breaths of questioning."

"This religion is mysterious and unpredictable. You must remember not to act rashly or take risks on your own."

"Don't worry, Uncle-Master, Daoxuan understands."

Seeing that he hadn't gotten any results, Yu Daoxuan sighed inwardly, realizing that it would be difficult to find Bai Zhiwei anytime soon.

Return to your own cave.

Since he was to lead a team to Caijia in Yiping the next day, he prepared to make a few talismans as a backup plan.

The first thing to be drawn was the Thunderclap Talisman.

He had drawn this before, but the success rate was low. He often had to draw more than ten to get one successful, which was incredibly costly.

Fortunately, Yu Daoxuan had acquired a considerable amount of spoils of war, which was enough to support his expenditure of resources.

Two hours later, he finally managed to draw a Thunderclap Talisman.

Just as they were resting for a moment and about to start drawing again, a strange sound came from the top of Jinyang Mountain.

He stepped out of the cave and looked around, only to see several second-tier spirit ships of the sect flying down from the sky.

Not long after, he reunited with his fellow disciples, including Zhu Hongyi, Zhou Junyi, and Zhou Keyi.

I just learned that the sect has sent several Foundation Establishment and late-stage Qi Refining disciples, preparing for a major battle.

Putting aside the demon cultivators of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, the Blood Infant Carp alone is enough to warrant this massive operation.

However, he did not see his master, Qi Donglou, this time.

"My master is currently taking over the sect's fleet in place of Uncle-Master Guo."

Upon hearing his question, Zhu Hongyi offered his explanation.

"I see!"

Yu Daoxuan instantly understood.

If he wasn't mistaken, Guo Xiaotian was preparing to break through to the Purple Mansion realm.

"Junior Brother Yu, when I came from Master just now, he asked me to give this talisman to you."

"Junior Brother, please take good care of me during my trip to the Cai family tomorrow!"

At this moment, Zhou Ke smiled and took out a yellow talisman from his storage bag.

Yu Daoxuan took it and saw that it was a second-tier low-grade array-breaking talisman.

After carefully putting away the talisman, he humbly said, "I will need the help of my senior brothers and sisters on this trip."

"Haha, don't worry, junior brother, Master gave us all the instructions beforehand."

Zhou Ke patted his chest and said.

Zhu Hongyi, Zhou Junyi, and others also expressed their willingness to do their utmost.
