Chapter 747: Chapter 219: Terrifying Li Yuan, Crushing the Immortal Envoy

Wei Huosheng?

This name, when reversed, becomes Sacred Fire.

Just like when Su Mushen’s name is reversed, it becomes Divine Wood.

Sacred Fire, Divine Wood, are precisely the names of "Holy Fire Palace" and "Divine Wood Hall" among the Five Elements forces.

Is it really that straightforward?

Li Yuan pondered for a moment and directly asked, "Where does Wei Huosheng live?"

He was fairly certain that the "three Immortal Envoys of the Three-Part Ghost Realm are respectively in Fujiang Path, Yanyun Dao, and Jade Capital City."

But the situation in Jade Capital City was extremely complex. Although he had to go, before that he wanted to test his hand with a certain Immortal Envoy.

He naturally would not go to weaken Sister Yan’s side of the forces, so he planned to look for Wei Huosheng.

Peng Mi was stunned for a moment and asked, "You... plan to..."

Li Yuan said calmly, "Don’t be nervous, I’m just helping you ascend."

Then, he asked a very simple question, "Would you prefer for the Lotus Sect to be backed by Wei Huosheng, or by me?"

Peng Mi’s eyes slowly lit up, and then he expressed ecstatic joy, "Of course, it’s you, of course, it’s you, of course, it’s you!!"

Li Yuan said, "Take me to him."

Peng Mi replied, "His whereabouts are unpredictable. I only know where he might appear, but I don’t know when that will be."

Li Yuan said, "Then I’ll wait."

After saying this, he waved his hand and said, "Return."

Peng Mi looked behind him; it was an utterly desolate mountain wilderness, but he dared not be rash, only nodding slightly before turning and walking towards the cave entrance.

Suddenly, a voice sounded again from behind him.

"Don’t make me wait too long.

I’ve already laid out the bait for you.

You just need to make them take the bait quickly."

"Bait?"

Peng Mi looked surprised.

However, Peng Mi, who was once the Vice Sect Leader of the Black Lotus Sect and now the "King" of the Black Lotus Sect in a "mountains with no tigers, a monkey is king" scenario, suddenly recalled the oddities that happened in the bustling market during the day, like "a butcher discovered missing pig ribs but found money nearby" and "a vendor found missing Chinese honey locust soap, but there was also money, yet the vendor saw no one at all." These strange events.

Originally, Peng Mi didn’t take these things seriously, but unexpectedly...

Li Yuan added, "In the neighboring Fuding City, there have also been incidents of government officials encountering ghosts. If you investigate, you will find it’s the same kind of situation."

"I understand."

Peng Mi turned and bowed again, then stepped out of the cave.

Since the Senior did not tell him where this place was, he still had to find his way back.

But unexpectedly for Peng Mi, as soon as he stepped out of the cave, he appeared back in front of the original door.

This somewhat shocked his mind. Then he pushed the door again.

Behind the door, it was no longer a cave but his own residence.

"Immortals fighting, immortals fighting..." Peng Mi took a deep breath, feeling that this world was becoming more terrifying, but at the same time, he was grateful that at least one such Immortal was standing behind him.

...

On the other side, Li Yuan yawned and got up.

Acting as the secret mastermind behind the Lotus Sect was just teasing Peng Mi.

Such a big burden, such a big cause and effect, why carry it for nothing?

Is it really necessary to be the nominal mastermind, but actually work diligently for the Lotus Sect and then nurture the next generation for the Lotus Sect like a nanny?

He just regarded the Lotus Sect as a pawn.

Others have done this, and others are still doing it.

So... can the monk do it, but not him?

Although it’s cruel, that’s the reality.

At most, when using them, he would be a bit warmer compared to those people.

But that’s just for outsiders.

Not for family.

...

The next day.

Li Yuan carried a wooden basin filled with dirty clothes from the previous day.

Not far away, a temporary earth stove was burning with wood.

Ribs were stewing in the pot.

He went to the stream, crouched down, rolled up his sleeves, and began to wash his and Xie Yu’s dirty clothes.

Having been on the road for several days, Miss Xie felt tired and, coupled with the spring lethargy, she was still sleeping.

Li Yuan took each piece of clothing, washing them in the clear stream. From time to time, he scrubbed them with Chinese honey locust soap "bought" from town.

And feeling as if he was missing a wooden basin to hold clean clothes, he summoned a Ghost Hand and bought a new wooden basin from the neighboring Huakai Town.

The copper coins clattered on the table under the vendor’s terrified gaze, and a wooden basin vanished into thin air.

The vendor’s pupils contracted, his Adam’s apple bobbed, and he gulped, wiped his cold sweat, and quickly ran out of the house, speeding towards a certain place using Body Skill.

Li Yuan, after acquiring the new basin, first washed it with clean water and then placed the freshly washed trousers, silk hood, skirts, etc., into the basin.

After he finished washing the clothes, he gently raised his hand, cleaned his messy hair, looked up and squinted at the sky, then stacked the new and old basins, returned to the front of the house, and hung the clothes and trousers on a thin rope between two old trees in the yard.

Having done all this, he went to check the pot again, adding some firewood.

Noticing that just eating pork today would be too greasy, and having no time to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, Li Yuan again summoned a Ghost Hand to buy some vegetables and a piece of soft tofu from the vegetable market in the neighboring Huakai Town.

The vendor at the vegetable market was shocked to see a few large coins spinning in midair until the large coins fell with a "ding" sound. Only then did he react, hurrying away, seemingly reporting to someone.

The ribs were taken out of the pot.

Li Yuan continued to stir-fry the vegetables.

Finally, he planned to make boiled tofu.

He picked up the kitchen knife, his palm slightly shaking as he chopped the tofu.

In the past, he could easily slice the tofu into pieces as thin as a cicada’s wings, but now...

Boom!

The tofu exploded.

His Concealing Power was no longer able to contain the eruption of Yang Qi and the vibration of the Ancestral Talisman.
