Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law

Chapter 530 - 528: Heading to the Rabbit Demon Race’s Meeting, the State Preceptor’s Ring and Its Astonishing Resources

This decision, Yuan Wang made very quickly.

Since Yin Wuxiao’s Soul Token was already shattered beyond repair, there was no second option.

After all, a dead State Preceptor, could he possibly come back to life?

So, when Yuan Wang Mansion whipped its men to post this notice everywhere, uproar instantly swept through Yuqing City.

The former Yuan Wang Country Master, Yin Wuxiao, was actually from the Evil Dao?!

If someone else had said this, others might still be doubtful, but right now, the ones putting up the notice were clearly from Yuan Wang Mansion.

They were basically old colleagues.

That made the credibility of this matter shoot up quite a bit.

"Now that even Yuan Wang Mansion has issued a notice, there’s no need to think about it. To release this kind of notice, they must have Yuan Wang’s permission. Could it be that Yin Wuxiao really is an evil cultivator?!"

"It looks a bit ridiculous, but maybe the credibility of this thing really is quite high. Do you know, for a while Yuan Wang’s forces kept sending people to capture a Demon Race member? I feel like that was not some normal business!"

Previously, when Yuan Wang Mansion sent people to capture the Rabbit Demon, they hadn’t done it very covertly nor bothered to hide it, so quite a few people knew of this matter.

Now that it was brought up, some people immediately sensed that something was off.

Serious people... who goes around grabbing Rabbit Demons every day?

While Yuan Wang’s side was responding at extreme speed, elsewhere.

Lu Ye calmly put away the two square Thunder Pearls, returning them to the Myriad Dao Pavilion space, then stowed away a Memory Stone that had already finished recording.

Not far in front of him was a figure blasted by thunder to the point that no distinct features could be seen.

Of course, his fatal wound was actually that Ultimate Sword Qi Yin Wuxiao had shouted out at the moment of death; the subsequent Thunder Power was just the icing on the cake.

"Ultimate Sword Qi? This is called Divine Origin Invisible Sword Qi."

Murmuring so indifferently, Lu Ye took out Bone-Dissolving Powder and processed this body that had once shaken Qing Province and been hailed as invincible in Qing Province, in one go.

Very soon, a Storage Ring fell into Lu Ye’s hand.

Lu Ye was rather looking forward to this Storage Ring; after all, it belonged to an Earth Realm Ninth Layer figure of Qing Province.

No matter what, there had to be some good stuff inside, right?

The next moment, as Lu Ye’s Spiritual Sense entered the Storage Ring and he saw the scene inside...

At a single glance, Lu Ye was immediately stunned.

There were nearly a thousand Source Crystals alone inside! This was the most Source Crystals he had ever seen from a single haul.

In addition, there were all kinds of Grandmaster Pills for the Earth Realm, with one or two bottles of each type. There were four or five bottles specifically for recovery and boosting cultivation!

In all his cultivation up to now, this was the first time Lu Ye had, in the literal sense, felt what "filthy rich" meant.

Other various Spirit Medicines were piled up as well, with the lowest at Tier Five and even a few Tier Seven stalks preserved inside.

Who knew if Yin Wuxiao had been planning to save them for when he broke through to the Celestial Realm.

"Just this one ring alone... even if you ransacked all the sects in the Northern Territory, you’d still struggle to scrape together this much wealth."

One man’s wealth far surpassed that of all sects in a First Realm combined!

Though the Northern Territory was itself barren, this was still outrageous. After all, Earth Realm didn’t mean literal invincibility.

Above that, there was still the Celestial Realm and Celestial Human Realm Land Immortals!

Many places were still Forbidden Lands.

And Yin Wuxiao had only been serving as Yuan Wang Country Master for these last few years, from what he’d heard.

To be able to loot so much in such a short time—this didn’t even include what he’d already used up himself...

He could already be called the all-round king of plunder!

As for other Secret Manuals and such, there wasn’t much.

After all, he was at least a big shot of the Celestial Demon Divine Sect who had seized a new body and been reborn.

His head was full of High-level Secret Scripture from the Celestial Demon Divine Sect; you could tell from the fact that he could use Middle Grade Divine Techniques like eye arts.

As for those Earth Tier and Celestial Tier Secret Scripture out here, he probably couldn’t even be bothered to glance at them.

"These resources are more than enough to support me in cultivating to Earth Realm Ninth Layer."

Lu Ye withdrew his Spiritual Sense and nodded in satisfaction.

He glanced around; traces of the previous battle could be seen everywhere, downright terrifying. After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye didn’t linger here and vanished in an instant.

It wasn’t until half an hour later that some bold cultivators, having kept in mind the Celestial Thunder they’d heard rumbling over here, made their way to the spot.

When they saw that within a radius of dozens of miles there were obvious battle scars—as if mountain-sized beasts had fought here—the ground cracked and charred, with more than a dozen ravines several meters deep crisscrossing the area, they sucked in several sharp breaths.

"So this is the destructive power of Earth Realm Grandmasters?! It’s actually this terrifying. Two people fighting nearly leveled dozens of miles of land?!"

"Hiss... I’m starting to understand why Yuan Wang suddenly issued that notice! If it’s really as I’m guessing, the sky over Qing Province is about to change..."

"Hm? Spell it out. I didn’t quite understand Yuan Wang’s notice. After all, Yin Wuxiao is Earth Realm Ninth Layer. Now Yuan Wang comes out and personally declares that his former State Preceptor is from the Evil Dao. Once Yin Wuxiao comes back, won’t Yuan Wang be in trouble? Unless Yin Wuxiao has fallen—but how could that be..."

Before he could finish, that somewhat thoughtful Innate Realm Cultivator continued, "How is it impossible? Sometimes... the truth really is just that simple!"

As for what kind of person Yuan Wang was, after all his years in Qing Province, many in Qing Province had a pretty clear idea.

If Yin Wuxiao weren’t dead... even if you gave Yuan Wang eight more guts, he wouldn’t dare so casually brand Yin Wuxiao a fiend of the Evil Dao and announce it to the public.

...

Rabbit Demon clan territory.

A figure silently arrived within the mountain range of the territory and, following the method Hu Lan had explained earlier, activated the Rabbit Demon clan’s Array Flag to notify those inside.

Soon, a figure appeared on the forest path, cautiously peering this way...

When she clearly saw Lu Ye’s figure, that Rabbit Demon who’d come out finally let out a breath of relief.

"Senior Lu, it really is you?"

The Rabbit Demon who came out was, unsurprisingly, Hu Lan.

After all, she was the one who had told Lu Ye about this switch. If someone else triggered it, and whoever came out to check got captured... Hu Lan would surely blame herself.

So, though Hu Lan was scared, she still came out.

Now that she saw Lu Ye, she finally relaxed.

Then she said happily, "Senior Lu, did you come to visit my clan? Please come with me."

Leading Lu Ye, she quickly arrived at the entrance to the clan grounds. Hu Lan took out her Identity Jade Token and opened a passage; the two of them stepped inside.

Only then did Lu Ye speak. "Where’s your Clan Chief? I’m here to fulfill my promise."

Clan Chief? Promise?

Hearing this, Hu Lan was a bit curious.

The matter of asking Lu Ye to help slay Yin Wuxiao was not something the Rabbit Demon Clan Chief had widely announced within the clan.
