Translator: 549690339
Listening to Xu Zhi Wu’s account, Lin Yi’s face was as sombre as water. He hadn’t expected that it was really the good deeds of Feng Yucheng, the resident Immortal Master of Qing Shi City.
After he killed the Flower Thief and left, this man had claimed to the outside world that he led people to kill the Flower Thief and save the daughter of the wealthy Liu family, Liu Qiao Ling, earning some rewards from Qing Shi City.
If it was just that, it would have been forgivable. However, he later actively asked for the wealthy Liu’s daughter’s hand in marriage and made the beautiful girl his concubine.
Although she became just a concubine and not a wife, the rich man willingly agreed. They might look wealthy, but they were nothing compared to ordinary gentry and officials, not to mention cultivators who transcended the mundane world.
Being able to marry a cultivator and become a concubine, especially to a disciple of the Ten Major Sects such as Liu Yun Sect, could be said to be a matter of great luck. Moreover, this Immortal Master saved his daughter and promised to treat her like a wife.
However, Liu Qiao Ling at the time had some doubts because she faintly smelled herbs while she was in a coma, but there was no such smell on Feng
Yucheng.
However, under the matchmaking of the City Lord of Qing Shi City and the persuasion of her parents, she had to agree to the marriage, becoming Feng Yucheng’s concubine.
At the same time, as the resident Immortal Master, he issued an order prohibiting the discussion of the Flower Thief as well as his marriage within
Qing Shi City, to prevent the Flower Thief’s accomplices from seeking revenge.
When Lin Yi heard this information, he suddenly thought of the time less than a year after he killed the Flower Thief when he went to the vicinity of Qing Shi City, wiped out a gang of Green Mountain Bandits, and created a ruckus with his spells which attracted Feng Yucheng, the resident Immortal Master of Qing Shi City.
After a few exchanges, Feng Yucheng invited him to Qing Shi City to show some hospitality, but Lin Yi said he had been there before. At that time, he could feel that Feng Yucheng become a bit tense.
It’s a pity that he didn’t spend much time in the pub in Qing Shi City and also didn’t hear the news about Feng Yucheng killing the Flower Thief, which was probably related to the order.
Later, Feng Yucheng gradually revealed his true nature. Considering himself higher than others as a cultivator, he often abused Liu Qiao Ling.
Liu Qiao Ling tried to run away from home several times, telling anyone she met that Feng Yucheng was not the Immortal Master who killed the Flower Thief. She even planned to go to Qing Yun City with a convoy to lodge a complaint.
However, the speed of an ordinary convoy couldn’t compare to the cultivator’s flying boat. She was caught and brought back several times while trying to escape. Feng Yucheng would tell others that Liu Qiao Ling was mentally ill and asked everyone to keep it a secret.
He spread the word that he had a cousin in the inner sect who was at the Qi Refining Eighth Stage. It was this cousin who had ambushed and killed the Flower Thief.
After Feng Yucheng resided in Qing Shi City for five to six years, he brought the wealthy Liu family to another city slightly further away from Liu Yun Sect.
Shortly after they moved there, he went out on a task. A fire then burnt down the entire house. The entire Liu family, including Liu Qiao Ling, perished in the fire and were quickly buried by him.
Now, this Feng Yucheng has returned to Liu Yun Sect. His cultivation seems to have reached the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, entering the latter stage.
Xu Zhi Wu said that the reason he could hear this news was because Feng Yucheng had left Qing Shi City for many years and he didn’t have much influence anymore.
Although the next resident Immortal Master who had a good relationship with Feng Yucheng continued to forbid related discussions, there was another Immortal Master resident in the city two years ago.
This Immortal Master, who was stationed in Qing Shi City, did not know Feng Yucheng, so he did not forbid relevant discussions, and some people began discussing this matter after meals.
Xu Zhi Wu remembered that Lin Yi had casually mentioned before that he had killed a Flower Thief in Qing Shi City, which was why he sent a Sound Transmission Talisman to confirm.
After hearing Xu Zhi Wu’s account, Lin Yi’s face became colder. If Feng Yucheng had just claimed credit for killing the Flower Thief, made the girl his concubine, and they were loving, Lin Yi wouldn’t have said anything.
However, Feng Yucheng turned out to be scum, abusing and eventually killing to silence people. Naturally, Lin Yi couldn’t ignore this.
Seeing Lin Yi’s icy gaze, Xu Zhi Wu shivered and asked in a soft voice, “Master
Lin, what should we do next…”
Just then, a commotion came from outside. “Inner Sect Disciple of Liu Yun Sect in action, get out of the way.”
With the words, the door of the private room was kicked open, and a middle-aged man with a few subordinates rushed in, exuding an aura of Large Completion of Qi Refining. “So it’s you guys who have been inquiring about my cousin Feng Yucheng. How dare you annoy an Inner Sect Disciple of Liu Yun
Sect, you’re courting death.”
He glanced at the three people in the room. “An Innate Martial Artist, a Sixth Layer Qi Refiner, you guys are really bold. Kid, stop drinking tea. there is no fluctuation of spiritual power on you, yet you dare to be so arrogant…”
Lin Yi slowly looked up at him and withdrew his Concealing Breath Technique of the Great Perfection level. A strong aura of Foundation Establishment suddenly emanated from him.
Sensing this powerful aura, the middle-aged man’s face changed drastically, and the few subordinates behind him collapsed directly onto the floor, their legs weak.
However, when he saw Lin Yi’s face, he turned pale and immediately saluted, “Li, Lin Yi, I pay my respects to Uncle Master Lin..”
