Chapter 449: Chapter 447: Red Cloud Fairy Really Is Such a Good Person! Sending a Servant? A Servant Disciple Is Exactly What We Need!

Hearing Lu Ye speak so offhandedly like that, and then hearing the words "Mortal Realm Grandmaster, Middle Stage" in there...

Jiang Lianshan was, for an instant, like he’d been struck by lightning, completely stunned.

Wait, what...

This guy standing in a corner of the living room, all timid and cowering, even looking a bit terrified... is a Mortal Realm Grandmaster?!

Since when does a Grandmaster look like that?!

And next, the thing Lu Ye took out again made Jiang Lianshan seem to understand something.

Lu Ye took out a small bottle, with a few pitch‑black little pills inside. He said casually, "This is the antidote for them. About once every two months, just give each of them one."

The reason he handed the antidote to Jiang Lianshan right in front of these two people of the Nine Nether Race was precisely so they’d know that their life‑saving medicine was in Jiang Lianshan’s hands.

Even if Jiang Lianshan’s strength wasn’t high, his orders could not be disobeyed.

As for whether, after he left, these two would rely on their superior strength to directly seize the antidote from Jiang Lianshan’s hands—

Lu Ye wasn’t worried in the slightest.

First, these two had already suffered a huge loss at Youluo’s hands.

They knew Youluo’s strength was far above theirs; even if they did rob him, unless they fled the Northern Territory from then on and never ran into Lu Ye and the others again...

Second, the antidote Lu Ye handed over was only this little bit.

Even if they snatched all of it, at most it could only prolong their lives for a few months.

And poisons without a known recipe are notoriously difficult to cure.

As long as these two still wanted to live, they’d never do something that stupid. The fact that they’d taken the initiative to confess was proof enough that they didn’t want to die.

After handing the antidote to Jiang Lianshan, Lu Ye turned his head toward the two and said, "Do your work properly. As long as you harbor no thoughts of rebellion, there’ll be benefits for you later."

He’d already swung the big stick earlier; now Lu Ye drew on his Transmigrator-from‑Blue‑Star skillset and preemptively painted them a nice big pie.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the two somewhat frightened members of the Nine Nether Race were visibly delighted.

"Senior, we’ll definitely do our work well."

Having someone lead these two of the Nine Nether Race away to arrange quarters for them, Jiang Lianshan still felt like his head was buzzing a bit. He asked:

"Good son‑in‑law, are those two really Mortal Realm Grandmasters? Where did you find them? As far as I know, there doesn’t seem to be anyone like that in the entire Northern Territory."

"They’re not from the Northern Territory. They got into a bit of trouble and ended up in my hands." Lu Ye didn’t explain too clearly, just glossed it over.

After all, things like the Nine Nether Race, and Jiang Qingge being the Nine Nether Empress—those were frankly too unbelievable for ordinary people.

And this wasn’t the time to talk about that anyway.

"If anything happens to those two, just contact Jiang Qingge right away. Jiang Qingge will get in touch with me," Lu Ye said.

"Alright, good son‑in‑law, you’ve worked hard, running back and forth for our Jiang Family." Jiang Lianshan’s face was all smiles.

A Grandmaster guarding them!

And two of them at once!

Didn’t this foundation completely blow those so‑called Innate Clans and Grandmaster Clans out of the water?

Of course, Jiang Lianshan understood that all of this was because of this son‑in‑law, Lu Ye.

Watching Lu Ye’s departing back, Jiang Lianshan felt like his grin was about to wrap all the way around his head.

The Red Cloud Sect had sent over not just a Silver Mountain, no... a Gold Mountain!

"The Red Cloud Sect, the Red Cloud Fairy, they really are wonderful people." Jiang Lianshan said with deep emotion all over his face.

Before, he’d even complained that she’d sent over a Servant Disciple. Looking at it now... Servant Disciples are great!

What we want is exactly a Servant Disciple!

At the same time, at some deserted place where she was in seclusion, repairing her Dao Heart, the former Red Cloud Fairy Xiao Qingyin couldn’t help but sneeze several times in a row.

At once, the former Red Cloud Fairy looked puzzled.

"This is... who’s talking about me?"

...

After leaving the Jiang Family, Lu Ye quickly flew out of Cloud Leaf City.

Finding Youluo, who was waiting outside the city, Lu Ye said, "I still have something to do. Are you coming with me, or do you have your own business?"

Hearing this, Youluo immediately shook her head like a rattle‑drum.

"I don’t have anything to do, Master‑Lord Husband, take me with you."

Lu Ye nodded. "Alright, follow me then. This time, I’m planning to look for something... You, do you know about the Void Nine‑headed Insect?"

At that, Youluo seemed startled, suddenly jumping to Lu Ye’s side and hugging one of his arms, a trace of fear appearing on her little face as she said,

"Master‑Lord Husband, why’d you suddenly bring up something that scary? You scared me to death!"

Lu Ye: "?"

Feeling Youluo naturally press up against him like that, Lu Ye felt... she was definitely taking advantage of the topic.

"So you know it?" Not caring whether Youluo was seizing the chance or not, Lu Ye asked.

"Of course I know. That disgusting thing... but if you really run into a grown one, it’s a real headache." Youluo showed a hint of disgust as she spoke.

"That thing can shuttle through space, like some slippery loach. Among the same realm, cultivators find it very hard to deal with."

"I’ve killed a Void Nine‑headed Insect before."

Hearing that, Lu Ye was a bit surprised. He hadn’t expected Youluo to have actually killed one of those things.

"Since you’ve killed one, that makes it easier. I’ll take you to kill another—how about it?" A moment later, Lu Ye’s lips curved into a slight smile.

Youluo shuddered. "Huh?! There’s still a Void Nine‑headed Insect in the Northern Territory?!"

This news really wasn’t something Youluo had anticipated. That thing... wasn’t it supposed to have gone extinct long ago?

"Not in the Northern Territory, but in the Southern Territory," Lu Ye explained. "And besides, it’s not necessarily a Void Nine‑headed Insect down there. I haven’t seen it with my own eyes."

"It’s all just my speculation. But if it really is, I’m thinking that before it’s fully grown..."

Saying that, Lu Ye’s eyes gradually grew sharp. "We take care of it while it’s still weak!"

Looking up at Lu Ye, who seemed to be exuding a faint killing intent, Youluo, pressed right up against him, wasn’t scared at all.

Instead, she got a bit excited as well.

"Alright! Master‑Lord Husband, then let’s go. If it really is there, we’ll take it out!"

...

The last time he came to the Southern Territory, it had been together with Nangong Xihua.

Afterward, once she’d decided that Lu Ye truly wanted to cooperate with her and wasn’t going to pull a backstab, Nangong Xihua had also shown Lu Ye that map.

So, that underground rift hidden within the mountain range was already firmly engraved in Lu Ye’s mind.

After entering the Southern Territory, the two of them both casually changed their outfits.

After all, although he had two Mortal Realm Grandmasters guarding the Jiang Family, there were clearly High Tier Earth Realm Grandmasters in the Celestial Curtain Prefecture of the Hidden Spirit Land.

There might not even be a shortage of Celestial Realm Grandmasters.

He had personally executed two Grandmasters of the Celestial Curtain Prefecture; to avoid being tracked, it was better to be cautious.

Entering that mountain range they’d visited before, Lu Ye led Youluo forward at high speed.

But before they got close to the previous mountain rift, they discovered some commotion...

They saw that the mountain rift had already been guarded.

Even from over a hundred meters away, they could see guards spread all around, each one emanating the fluctuations of the Postnatal Realm.

"What’s going on here..."

Seeing this scene, Lu Ye was a bit surprised.

If, earlier, he and Nangong Xihua hadn’t completely stripped the medicine garden beneath the rift clean, then having guards show up would’ve been somewhat normal.

Back then, after all, medicinal fragrance would waft out from time to time.
