Chapter 523: Chapter 521: Arriving at Yuqing City, Investigating the Qing Province State Preceptor...

"By the way, I’m planning to look for Qing Province State Preceptor Yin Wuyao and see what the situation is."

Lu Ye said: "Are you cultivating here, or what’s your plan?"

According to rumors, with Yin Wuyao’s strength, Lu Ye felt that going alone would be much safer.

After all, there’s a good chance that Xiao Qingyin might be detected by the opponent, rendering the investigation ineffective.

Xiao Qingyin obviously realized this too.

"My strength is still too low. Yin Wuyao, according to rumors, is at the Earth Realm Late Stage. This time I won’t join in the fun and cause you trouble."

After thinking it over, Lu Ye nodded and said: "That’s fine too, you continue cultivating here, or you can go elsewhere if you’d like, just use the Communication Jade Token to let me know."

This matter shouldn’t be delayed, so Lu Ye didn’t stay on the mountain. After speaking, he promptly left.

In recent days, he had also shown this body technique to Xiao Qingyin, and Xiao Qingyin said she had memorized it.

"His speed has increased again... Celestial Tier Body Technique is indeed terrifying."

Watching the scene of Lu Ye leaving in an instant, Xiao Qingyin was somewhat shocked.

She was familiar with the various forms of Purple Gold Transformation.

Lu Ye’s departure was like a flash of white light, indicating he was initiated into Purple Gold Transformation.

Even this way, there was hardly any difference compared to Lu Ye’s previous smooth and skillful body technique.

Collecting her thoughts, Xiao Qingyin continued her secluded cultivation on the mountain.

She feels that if she can fully master this cultivation technique, within five years... she might reach the Mortal Realm Late Stage!

This was something Xiao Qingyin dared not imagine before.

...

On the other side, after leaving the mountain, Lu Ye transformed into Lu Yan’s appearance and headed to the nearest small town.

Chen Beixuan’s identity has already made news throughout a province, and Lu Ye couldn’t be sure if anyone in Qing Province would recognize this identity.

In comparison, Lu Yan’s identity was much more low-key; even if someone recognized it, there weren’t many.

This was Yuan Wang’s domain, and as soon as Lu Ye arrived in the town, he heard a roadside storyteller talking about State Preceptor Yin Wuyao.

Ever since he appeared in Qing Province, he consecutively slew Mortal Realm Grandmasters, then joined Yuan Wang’s faction, expanding aggressively and angering several other Vassal Kings, who subsequently mobilized their Earth Realm experts.

Ultimately, they were instantly crushed by Yin Wuyao’s unparalleled divine power!

"To this day, our State Preceptor is heard to... soon breakthrough to Earth Realm Perfection, aiming to ascend to the Celestial Realm unseen in Qing Province!!" The storyteller finished, and a gasp of surprise arose from the audience.

These onlookers didn’t understand the difference between Earth Realm and Celestial Realm, but at this moment... as the storytelling atmosphere took hold, gasping was the response.

After all, Yin Wuyao’s previous accomplishments were already terrifying enough.

"Is it really known outside that he’s about to breakthrough to Celestial Realm soon?"

Hearing this, Lu Ye stood outside the crowd, deep in thought.

Why does he feel that, in reality, Yin Wuyao still has some way to go before breaking through?

Disseminating such news seems intentional, to make people think he is Earth Realm Ninth Layer Perfection, just about to ascend?

"Could there be other things pressuring him, thus deliberately creating the news that he’s soon a Celestial Realm Grandmaster..."

It’s not that Lu Ye overthought, but this feeling in his heart wouldn’t go away.

Next, Lu Ye gathered some information in the town, such as Yuan Wang’s current residence.

Then, he silently left the town.

"Yuqing City, I remember the Qing Province Stone Tablet seems to be here..."

Now, among the information Lu Ye received, Yuan Wang is right in this city.

As Yuan Wang’s State Preceptor, Yin Wuyao definitely is here too.

"Counting the time, there’s only about two or three days until the restriction from the last listing, so I can head over."

After calculating, Lu Ye immediately headed for Yuqing City.

Given the approximate three-day window, Lu Ye was not overly hurried on the journey.

He spent a day to arrive outside Yuqing City.

Other cities required inspections, and naturally, Yuqing City was no exception.

However, without the conspicuously attracting Xiao Qingyin along, Lu Ye entered the city easily.

Yuqing City was large, and military officers could be seen whizzing by everywhere.

Lu Ye, walking while contemplating, wondered how to draw out Yin Wuyao at the time?

Forcing a confrontation was definitely unrealistic.

"Got it... first seek an opportunity to infiltrate and assess Yin Wuyao’s strength."

At the right moment, he can utilize the commotion caused during the listing to lure Yin Wuyao out of the strict guard circle of Yuan Wang Mansion. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

When he completes his absorption...

will be the day Yin Wuyao meets his end!

Booking a room is his next step, until late at night when Lu Ye heads for Yuan Wang Mansion, effortlessly infiltrating.

With his strength, even in the reputedly crowded expert-filled Yuan Wang Mansion, no one could sense any movement on his side.

Silently, he reached the most guarded inner mansion, where the lights were bright, and a few people sat inside.

"State Preceptor, since the last capture operation failed, should we dispatch some personnel again in a couple of days?" Yuan Wang, seated and wearing a dragon robe, said.

"There’s no rush. After the last incident, those Rabbit Demons may not appear so readily." The man in black robe at the left hand replied in a deep voice.

Above the roof, Lu Ye, relying on Dao Pavilion to completely conceal his aura, gently eased a tile aside, peering through the gap below...

Yuan Wang’s physique was slightly robust, at least 1.9 meters, appearing quite tall.

Lu Ye then looked at the State Preceptor Yin Wuyao...

He was a man with a somewhat stern expression, surrounded by waves of terrifying intensity like a deep ocean, intermittently visible.

Besides...

Lu Ye indeed sensed a familiar feeling from when he faced Yin Wuya and others...

Faint sinister aura!

"Indeed, he’s from the Celestial Demon Sect."

With this thought flashing in his mind, Lu Ye already planned to withdraw.

Just as Lu Ye wrapped the tile with Grandmaster’s Source Qi and placed it back, less than a second after withdrawing, the State Preceptor in the hall suddenly lifted his head, looking toward a direction...

"State Preceptor, what’s wrong?"

Seeing Yin Wuyao’s movement, Yuan Wang couldn’t help being curious.

"I felt as if someone was spying on us just now." Yin Wuyao retracted his gaze after staring for two seconds.

His words shocked Yuan Wang.

"What... someone is spying on us?! State Preceptor, the mansion’s guards are so strict, how could..."
