Chapter 146: Chapter 106: Hundred Ghosts Asura Xuanyi

Liou Yuan had never seen Fang Yu, this Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, in such a complaining posture before.

That ceaseless chattering continuously echoed in Liou Yuan’s ears, filled with distress.

Even Liou Yuan felt a bit embarrassed listening to it. After awkwardly rubbing his nose, he forced himself to say, "Mr. Yu, it’s not that my elder brother and I were hiding it from you."

"You know the situation of us two brothers on the Five Extremes Mountain."

Liou Yuan hinted at the existence of the Liou Family in his words.

His own background was indeed something that could be used as an excuse.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Fang Yu immediately fell silent. He was naturally aware of the situation of Liou Yuan and his brother, and upon reconsideration, it indeed made sense.

Liou Zhen had already established his foundation through a Five-Star Star Acupoint, and now he was vaguely threatening the strength of the Liou Family of Xiang Mountain.

If Liou Yuan’s talent for a Five-Star Star Acupoint were again exposed, he would also be a potential Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.

Two brothers from the same family both establishing foundations, and both from the main bloodline.

"If the Liou Family of Xiang Mountain knew in advance, they might do something crazy."

"If I were the Liou Family of Xiang Mountain, I would never let Liou Yuan, this latent risk with Foundation Establishment potential, live."

"Having let one Liou Zhen go, there’s no way they’d let Liou Yuan go as well."

Fang Yu nodded silently, approving of the actions of the two brothers.

At this point, Fang Yu realized something he had previously overlooked.

He looked seriously at the young man in front of him, who still had an awkward smile on his face, and gently said, "You two brothers from the main bloodline, both have Five-Star Star Acupoints. The most prosperous era of the Ice Acupoint main bloodline of the Liou Family was nothing more than this."

"Do you know what this means?"

"I understand!" Liou Yuan’s expression turned solemn as he nodded seriously.

Of course, he knew what this meant.

However, when Liou Zhen revealed their family background, Liou Yuan had already prepared for this aspect, and now, with an unexpectedly calm tone, he said, "It’s nothing more than open and hidden threats."

"Mr. Yu, I have a suggestion for you: don’t leave the Five Extremes Mountain before your Foundation Establishment."

"The Liou Family of Xiang Mountain wouldn’t dare to move against you openly on the Five Extremes Mountain; the sect’s deterrent power is still there."

Fang Yu spoke earnestly, because he was close to Liou Zhen, so he took great care of Liou Yuan as well.

"Thank you, Mr. Yu. I understand," Liou Yuan nodded in agreement.

After all, he had said what needed to be said; the grievances between Liou Yuan, Liou Zhen, and the Liou Family of Xiang Mountain essentially belonged to the Liou Family’s internal affairs.

It wasn’t Fang Yu’s business; merely speaking to this point was already the epitome of kindness.

After finishing his words, Fang Yu didn’t say more and reached out to pat Liou Yuan’s shoulder.

Liou Yuan did not dodge, felt the weight of Fang Yu’s hand, and heard his sigh: "You and Liou Zhen were born too late."

"If you two had started cultivating before the two bloodlines contended, as dual prodigies, even if the Ice Vein was unable to defeat the Fog Vein, the higher-ups of Five Extremes Mountain would have secured your main bloodline’s position as patriarchs."

"Now that it’s become a reality, your first thought should be on how to keep your life safe."

"I just wonder what the reaction of the higher-ups of Five Extremes Mountain will be when they hear this news, hahaha."

Fang Yu, as if remembering something amusing, laughed with a hint of mockery.

While talking with Liou Yuan, Fang Yu used True Essence to seal their surroundings, so he wasn’t worried that their conversation would leak out.

Finally, after handing over the reward for Liou Yuan’s breakthrough to the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, Fang Yu transformed into a stream of light and flew away.

Liou Yuan was left standing in deep thought at the peak of Xiaopei Mountain, holding his token.

Fang Yu had given him a warning.

Liou Yuan was also considering the series of consequences his exposure would trigger.

"I can’t conceal the fact that I’m at the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer."

"The Liou Family will definitely not sit still."

"If I can avoid going out during this period, it’s better not to leave the Five Extremes Mountain."

The difficult part was that Liou Yuan still had two matters to attend to, both requiring him to leave the sect.

One was the affair with Qiwen Mountain.

The other was the debt collection affair with Bai Ling.

Both matters required him to leave the Five Extremes Mountain.

The affair with Bai Ling was easy to manage, as collecting the Star Stones could be entrusted to Xie Miaobo or Qiu Ming.

The only difficult one was the affair with Qiwen Mountain.

"There shouldn’t be any changes on the Qiwen Mountain side in the short term."

"Even if that old man Jin Yingjie does send a letter, there’s no hurry to go out. Qiwen Mountain won’t run away since it’s standing there."

"The difficult part is, if the Jin Dynasty wants to strike a Calamity-level Star Evil, I can’t use the Fixed Star Compass... Actually, there’s a solution. At worst, I’ll ask my elder brother to come out and protect me on the journey."

After pondering these things, Liou Yuan finally focused his attention on the token in his hand.

For breaking through to the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer, Fang Yu brought a reward of 160 merit points.

When accepting the suppression mission, Liou Yuan had 88 merit points.

The completion of the suppression mission granted him 15 points; Liou Yuan exchanged 10 merit points for a Star Stone for cultivation, leaving 5 points.

This made 93 points in total.

Adding the 160 merit points, Liou Yuan’s merit point total reached 253 points.

"Enough for me to select a cave residence." With merit points, Liou Yuan had gained confidence.

Within the Inner Sect of Five Extremes Mountain.

At the peak of the immortal mountain, a spiritual spring flew and cascaded down the cliff like a silvery river falling from the nine heavens.

The rushing water splashed in midair, transforming into myriad crystalline droplets that shimmered with multicolored light as they caught the sun’s rays.

At the base of the waterfall, a clear spring pool lay quietly, its water as transparent as a mirror, reflecting the surrounding mountains, clouds, and sky.

In the water, spiritual fish swam back and forth, their scales glowing with slight luminescence, like tiny stars swimming through the water.

Following the winding spiritual path onward, jade trees and exotic flowers lined the way in various forms and postures.

At the end of the spiritual path, along the waist of the immortal mountain, stood a continuous stretch of jade pavilions and towers.

Among them was a pavilion named "Wenda Tower."

A young Daoist in a moon-white robe, as if bathed in moonlight, appeared as light and nimble as the mist swirling in the mountains, yet still dignified.

The edge of his robe was embroidered with pale blue cloud patterns, which seemed to flow like ethereal fairy energy as he moved, dreamlike and illusory.

His face was gentle as jade, its contours soft yet resolute. His brows were like distant hills, emanating an inherent sense of elegance. His eyes were like deep pools, their gaze gentle yet profound.

This Daoist was intently clutching a brush, painting the last feather on the crane sketched in faint ink on the desk before him.

In front of the desk, Fang Yu’s tall figure was respectfully prostrate.

Just after leaving Xiaopei Mountain, Fang Yu had received a transmission to meet from the Sect Leader and came straight to Wenda Tower without stopping.

The Sect Leader said not a word, only painted, while Fang Yu touched his head to the ground, not daring to look at him.

Fang Yu wasn’t foolish. In fact, when he heard the Sect Leader’s transmission, he already knew that Liou Yuan’s matter had been exposed.

After all, the person before him was Xuanyi, the youngest Sect Leader in the history of Five Extremes Mountain.

Foundation Establishment at twenty.

At twenty-five, he journeyed outward, sweeping through the sects of Jiuli and the Jin Dynasty with an invincible stance, the undisputed first of his generation.

At thirty, he ascended to the position of Sect Leader, strategizing from behind the scenes.

This year marked the twentieth year of his tenure over Five Extremes Mountain.

Do not be deceived by his refined and gentle demeanor now; in his youth, he was the Hundred Ghosts Asura, feared by countless, with countless Foundation Establishments perished at his hands.

A decisive figure in battle, with intellect and stratagems far beyond the norm, truly a prodigy among the heavens.

Not to mention Fang Yu feeling intimidated in his presence, no one in Five Extremes Mountain wasn’t afraid of him.

The calm atmosphere within Wenda Tower was torture for Fang Yu. Although Xuanyi said nothing, he was sweating profusely.

One incense stick of time later, the last stroke of the crane on the desk was finished.

Xuanyi’s thin lips slightly curved upwards, revealing a just-right gentle smile, showing his satisfaction with the painting.

Only then did his gaze leisurely fall on the kneeling Fang Yu before him.

His words were gentle, and his tone was neither too high nor too low.

"The entry examination is the lifeblood of a sect, concerning its rise and fall."

"Don’t tell this poor Daoist any negligence or carelessness; among the Inner Sect disciples of Five Extremes Mountain, your work is the most meticulous, Fang Yu."

"Think carefully about how you are going to explain this matter to this poor Daoist."
