“Is Viper’s sword still with him?” Zhu Xiaotian asked.
That Cicada Sword was a high-grade spirit sword, the divine weapon ranked thirteenth on the Great Xia Dynasty’s Divine Weapon Rankings in his previous life.
“Viper’s sword was already gone when we found his corpse.”
Zhu Xiaotian’s face was grim. He had suffered heavy losses this time. Viper was dead, and his spirit sword had been robbed.
“Young Master, do you need me to do it personally?” Seven Steps asked in a low voice.
Zhu Xiaotian was silent for a moment before he shook his head. “Hold on. I have another plan!”
Zhu Xiaotian was well aware that the various factions were close to finding Li Yu. They would probably come knocking on his door tomorrow and send people to secretly monitor him.
He had already missed the best opportunity, and Viper’s death had already alerted him, so it was probably more difficult to kill Li Yu.

It might even expose him!
He did not want to get himself into trouble.
As a reborn person, he should be the big shot behind the scenes, and he had to be more patient.
He had been too rash previously.
He was not the only person in the world who wanted Li Yu to die.
Why don’t I wait for good news?
Furthermore, it was safer to get someone else to do it than him.
Upon hearing Zhu Xiaotian’s words, Seven Steps secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
He was ready to sacrifice for his mission as an assassin, but no one was willing to die out of instinct.
Even Viper had failed, and he would probably not be able to return had Zhu Xiaotian sent him.
…
Nan’an City, Eastern Palace.
“So it’s in Qing Prefecture’s Luo Water Town!” Murong Xingqiao was overjoyed when he got the news from his subordinate.
Immediately, he called for Imperial Tutor Wu Cheng.
“Immediately send someone to the Grand Tutor’s Mansion and tell them that they’ve found him. Accompany me tomorrow at six in the morning,” Murong Xingqiao said.
“Yes, Your Highness!” Wu Cheng cupped his hands.
At the same time, the Third Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, Murong Taisheng, and the Fifth Prince, Murong Zhengnan; As well as the various marquis factions, such as the Pingnan King’s Yi family, the North Garrison King’s Luo family, and others—they all received news of Li Yu’s whereabouts.
However, at the moment, Li Yu was in the Juyi Hall of Black Bear Mountain.
He dealt with the remaining bandits in the village alone and obtained a lot of gold, silver, and treasures.
He also rescued the women and laborers who had been abducted by the bandits.
As for Zhou Erlang and the others, they were sent off to reunite with Zhou Dalang.
After all, Tang Chi had already returned. Leaving those bandits in the Daoist temple would inevitably lead to trouble. It might even threaten Tang Chi’s safety.
Now that he had the money he had plundered from the bandits, he could hire actual craftsmen to expand the Daoist temple.
After all, there were specializations in every profession. The work of these mountain bandits was too low in standard.
The night passed uneventfully…
The first ray of sunlight in the morning sprinkled over the land on the official road to Luo Water Town.
More than ten disciples of the Jade Pure Dao Sect were splitting up to inquire about the news of That’s Quite A Big Sect.
“Hello, uncle, I have something to ask you.” A handsome, frosty-looking man stopped an uncle carrying two baskets of vegetables.
This man was the fifth place on the Hidden Dragon Rankings, the number one genius of the Jade Pure Dao Sect, Lin Chen.
After some investigation yesterday, Elder Hu and the others had already narrowed the area where Li Yu was located to the vicinity of Luo Water Town.
Therefore, early in the morning, Elder Hu led everyone to split up in the village near Luo Water Town to continue inquiring about Li Yu’s whereabouts.
Lin Chen had just come over to meet up with Elder Hu and the rest this morning.
He wanted to see what sort of person this Li Yu was.
As the current number one prodigy of the Jade Pure Dao Sect, he was also the most valued disciple.
Lin Chen did not have a good impression of Li Yu in his heart.
To be precise, he was jealous.
This was especially true when the Sect Master had the intention to take Li Yu under his wing.
He was extremely displeased.
If this fellow was recruited into their Jade Pure Dao Sect, his own status would definitely plummet.
The future number one genius of the sect would be Li Yu.
He was afraid that most of the cultivation resources and attention would be focused on him.
By that time, he would only be a green leaf.
So he wished for nothing more than to never find Li Yu.
“Please speak, sir!” the old man said amiably.
“Have you heard of That’s Quite a Large Sect?” Lin Chen asked.
“Which sect?” The old man looked at Lin Chen in surprise.
“That’s Quite a Large Sect!” Lin Chen said.
“Yes, I know. Which sect is it?” The old man asked again.
“That’s Quite a Large Sect!”
“…”
“That sect’s name is That’s Quite a Large Sect!”
The old man looked at Lin Chen as if he were a fool, then shook his head and said, “I’ve never heard of it!”
Lin Chen cursed “That’s Quite a Large Sect” in his heart.
However, right at this moment, a senior brother flew over from a distance, and he shouted excitedly, “Elder Hu, I heard that it’s on Nine-tailed Mountain that’s 10 plus kilometers to the west of Luo Water Town!”
“That’s great!” Elder Hu was overjoyed and immediately led everyone to fly towards the Nine-tailed Mountain.
However, they did not fly far before Elder Hu saw a group of people flying over from another direction. It was the members from the Great Sky Dao Sect.
The person in the lead was the person he least wanted to see—Jia Qinglin.
“Dammit, this old fellow is here as well!” Elder Hu frowned immediately.
He did not have to think to know that the Great Sky Dao Sect had surely arrived to look for Li Yu.
Moreover, based on the direction they were flying in, it was obviously Nine-tailed Mountain.
Jia Qinglin noticed the members of the Jade Pure Dao Sect as well.
Jia Qinglin did not say anything and started speeding up. His figure transformed into a ray of light, speeding towards the direction of the Nine-tailed Mountain with the fastest speed, leaving the group of disciples behind.
“Humph, you want to compete in speed with me?” Elder Hu snorted. “Thunder Dash Art!”
Elder Hu was not to be outdone. He, too, transformed into a bolt of lightning that pursued closely.
Only the disciples of the two sects looked at each other, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Actually, they were already used to it.
Although Elder Hu and Elder Jia were both Sect Elders, it was as if they were facing off against each other every time they met.
The two did not have any deep hatred, while some say they were from the same hometown.
Still, the two of them had liked to compete since they were young, comparing height and strength.
Despite their age, it was still the same.
Every time they bumped into each other, arguments were unavoidable, and there were even times when they fought.
“Jia, you old prick, I will definitely get there before you!”
“I won’t say that if I were you!” Elder Hu and Elder Jia could be said to have brought out their best as they madly rushed towards the Nine-tailed Mountain as if their lives depended on it.
Before long, the two of them flew to the top of the Nine-tailed Mountain and rushed into the Daoist temple.
Li Yu was sleeping in his room while Tang Chi was practicing alone in the yard.
Tang Chi was definitely much more hardworking than Li Yu in cultivation.
“Where is Li Yu?” Elder Hu shouted as soon as they entered the temple.
Elder Jia echoed as well.
The two of them had a race, and their faces were turning red from exhaustion.
Coupled with the fact that they were competing with each other, they gnashed their teeth with a scary look on their faces.
They did not seem to be here to recruit talent but to seek revenge.
Tang Chi almost pissed his pants.
He had just experienced the incident with the demon child yesterday and had not recovered from that yet.
