Chapter 746: Chapter 219: The Terrifying Li Yuan, Crushing the Immortal Envoy

She lifted her face, revealing eyes like crescents and a smile like peach blossoms.

Then she ran to the pork ribs, looking at the bloody, dirty pork. After a slight hesitation, she grabbed them with both hands and proceeded to place them in a nearby iron pot ready for takeout.

Along the way, her lady-like cleanliness started to dissipate.

It’s just...

Xie Yu expressed concern: "Gucheng, are you sure using your abilities like this won’t attract too much attention? The government is currently scrutinizing the Incense Worship Sect and the Lotus Sect rigorously. If strange incidents like this occur at the market, it’s bound to draw attention, and then..."

Li Yuan replied softly, "Don’t worry, I’m here."

...

...

That day, the two of them built a wooden house in front of the Peach Blossom Forest and stream.

At nightfall, Xiaoyu’er lay down to sleep, while Li Yuan stood up, walked to a nearby small cave, and transformed into a slightly chubby knight, then transformed again into a ghost hand, pressing his left hand on the ground.

Phantom doors appeared one after another.

These doors led to nearby caves and the doors of some houses in the neighboring county.

He could see everything happening behind those doors, see all the different people behind them.

Suddenly, his expression changed slightly, and he gently pointed at one particular door.

Someone was entering through that door.

It was a man with smiling eyes and a glazed jade blade at his waist, but when he turned around, his smile became indifferent.

The man pushed open the door and walked in.

Then... ℯℯ𝑙.

His eyes widened in shock.

Because he wasn’t seeing the place he had anticipated, but a strange and eerie cave.

On the cold and hard cave walls, a mysterious dark silhouette was leaning against it.

The moonlight fell outside the cave, but the figure was immersed in shadow, appearing sinister and terrifying.

The man who stepped through the door into the cave was none other than the former Vice Sect Leader of the Black Lotus Sect, Peng Mi. He had traveled from Fujiang Path to Star Sea Dao, then crossed Yongzhou Path, arriving at Yanyun Dao.

However, his destination was not Chixia Mountain of Yanyun Dao.

He had lied to Li Yuan, gritting his teeth and cleansing himself multiple times with his own Fourth Grade Essence Blood of high purity, just to sever the "Thousand-Mile in a Line" link with Bai Mei’Er.

As the Vice Sect Leader of the Black Lotus Sect, he naturally couldn’t trust such an unexplained mysterious figure, much less bring him into the Lotus Sect’s final base in the enemy’s headquarters.

Unfortunately, Li Yuan had actually tied up another Red Lotus disciple.

Thus, Li Yuan still appeared.

Afterward, he established a connection with Peng Mi.

Peng Mi sincerely believed that this senior was not a high-level member of the "Judge," thus continually bowing in apology, eventually agreeing to do some things for him.

All of this was just something Li Yuan did coincidentally during his time in Yanyun Dao.

This time, he left the small city by imperial carriage and headed to the wilderness near a small town... for a reason.

Because this small town... was the final base of the Lotus Sect—Huakai Town.

He took a pork rib from Huakai Town, naturally not worrying about the government investigating whether there were remnants of the Lotus Sect in the town.

Because everyone in this town was a remnant of the Lotus Sect.

...

"Senior."

Peng Mi, after a brief moment of bewilderment, reacted and hurriedly bowed down.

In his eyes, this senior was unfathomably extreme.

Li Yuan, with his face shrouded in darkness, asked faintly, "How is the investigation I asked you to conduct?"

Peng Mi gathered his thoughts slightly, then spoke, "Your judgment was correct, the Firefly Demon is indeed the Jade Remains of the Forbidden Ghost Realm ’Ghost Lake’ in Yanyun Dao.

I personally heard her admit this during a secret meeting.

She said she wants to help Ghost Lake unify the ghost realms of Yanyun Dao as much as possible, thereby producing stronger Meat Fields in Yanyun Dao to facilitate the development of the Lotus Sect.

Recently, there have indeed been significant changes in the ghost realms of Yanyun Dao. I can sense that this ghost realm is absorbing smaller ones, and some inexplicably strange changes have already occurred."

Li Yuan: ...

He was actually just making a wild guess.

Because he thought the Lotus Sect wouldn’t randomly choose a location as their final base.

This location must be related to a high-ranking member of the Lotus Sect.

Excluding the deceased Peng Chao, the missing Peng Mingyi, and the identity-unknown Bai Lianjue, the remaining candidate was the Jade Remains, Firefly Demon.

In other words, she possibly had a connection to the Forbidden Ghost Realm of Yanyun Dao.

He closed his eyes slightly and asked, "Have any mysterious individuals appeared in Huakai Town?"

Peng Mi was stunned for a moment, then nodded solemnly, "Yes, they are very powerful, exceptionally so... After they arrived, they worked with the Lotus Sect in a semi-alliance, semi-control fashion.

The reason for the semi-alliance seems to be their goal of helping Ghost Lake absorb the ghost realms of Yanyun Dao as much as possible.

The reason for the semi-control is due to their overwhelming strength."

Li Yuan asked, "How many of them are there?"

Peng Mi recalled, "There should be three or four.

But I’ve only seen three."

Li Yuan asked, "What kind of people are they?"

Peng Mi said, "Two of them are in red robes, capable of effortlessly using domains, probably both Fourth Grade, but they are far more formidable than me... I can sense that they could easily kill me.

And one more...

The other one..."

Peng Mi gritted his teeth and said, "That person calls himself Wei Huosheng, wearing red armor and carrying a strange, chimney-like long sword...

He is extremely, extremely terrifying, and usually doesn’t bother to hide himself, only his gaze is filled with indifference, not treating us like humans even when he looks at us.

I know, in his eyes, we are merely ants, which is why he is so indifferent, so casual...

I suspect he is a presence beyond grading."
