Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 393 - 192 Liu Emei's Debut

From the intelligence, it was clear that the Yang Family was teetering on the edge of a crisis, with various opposing forces preparing to take advantage of the situation.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.

The key to the Yang Family's survival actually lies in whether Yang Dan could succeed in forming the golden pill,

Even if Yang Dan succeeds in forming the True Core, under such circumstances, he might have to hand over the third-tier spiritual veins of Wangyue City.

As for Yang Dan and Tan Feng becoming Cultivation Partners,

This notion, Chen Yi simply listened without comment,

Yang Dan did not regard Tan Feng highly.

If Yang Dan succeeds in forming the golden pill, and Tan Feng only manages to form a True Core, Tan Feng is even less worthy of pursuing Yang Dan.

If Yang Dan fails in creating the golden pill, but Tan Feng luckily succeeds in forming a True Core, there might still be a slim chance,

But under such circumstance, with the Yang Family facing numerous enemies, even if Tan Feng's master, True Person Chengji, might not be willing to stand up for the Yang Family,

By then, how could Yang Dan, bereft of the third-tier spiritual veins, benefit from forming a Cultivation Partnership with Tan Feng?

Besides, Chen Yi would never sit idly by and let these two enemies form a Cultivation Partnership,

No, he wouldn't even allow them the chance to form the Core successfully!

From the intelligence, Chen Yi also learned that Zhao Jingwu has formed a Pseudo-core,

With his dual cultivation of magical and physical arts, his combat strength was considerably stronger than that of an average Pseudo-core.

However, Zhao Jingwu has been added to the list of the Yang Family's enemies....

The intelligence only provided a brief account of Zhao Jingwu's actions, who killed City Lord Yue Xiu, one of the higher-ups in the Yang family, leading to his being wanted by the Yang Family, resulting in Zhao Jingwu bearing a grudge,

But the real situation might be that Zhao Jingwu suspected that Liu Yonggang, the former alchemist, was killed by Yue Xiu. When Yue Xiu shifted the blame to Zhao Jingwu, Zhao Jingwu retaliated,

However, it seemed as though after defeating Yue Xiu and interrogating him, Zhao Jingwu concluded that Yue Xiu had not laid a hand on Liu Yonggang,

This left Zhao Jingwu puzzled,

But since the Yang family had issued a warrant for Zhao Jingwu, and he had always been a person who could not tolerate sand in his eyes, it was normal for him to regard the Yang Family as the enemy.

There's also another person, namely Red Sleeve True Person, a high-ranking member of the Fabric Workshop,

Due to the misfortunes that befell the Fabric Workshop in Wangyue City in the past, the Yang Family ended up offending Red Sleeve True Person on the level of True Person,

Now that the Yang family is in trouble, Red Sleeve True Person has unknowingly infiltrated Wangyue City.

A storm is coming.

Chen Yi reflected.

He planned to return to Little Cold Peak, then move to Wangyue City incognito, waiting for the outbreak of the war, seeking an opportunity to sabotage Yang Dan's Core Formation, and thereby settling their past karma.

As a disciple of the Cold Sword Gate, Chen Yi was preparing to return to his Cave Mansion through a secret passage near Little Cold Peak,

He cast a divine sense scan using the Turtle Breathing method,

and surprisingly found that there was a sporadically flashing red light outside Little Cold Peak.

"Is someone hiding outside Little Cold Peak?"

After making some calculations, Chen Yi was stunned to discover that this person bore malicious intent. His target was neither Chen Yi nor Ma Xiaoqiu,

But Liu Emei!

Who was targeting Liu Emei?

Has Liu Emei's secret been discovered?

Chen Yi thought hard about the possible karmic ties Liu Emei might have,

Eventually, Chen Yi deduced that the person most likely to have been keeping an eye on Liu Emei over the years was, astonishingly, Tan Feng!

Back then, at the funeral of Liu Emei's father, Liu Zhu, Tan Feng had come to Wangyue Island for the first time as a disciple of Qinglong Island and had caught a distant glimpse of Liu Emei,

During that time, because of the death of her relatives, Liu Emei had inadvertently exposed her true nature, which had surprised Tan Feng with her beauty.

The second time, when Tan Feng came to trouble Chen Yi, he used his divine sense to investigate Liu Emei, and nearly ended up with frostbite from her icy aura,

That's when he began to take notice of Liu Emei's constitution,

After several years of investigation, he roughly guessed that Liu Emei might possess the Ice Essence Cold Physique,

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Tan Feng wanted to give it a try as it could significantly boost his chances of successful core formation and enhance the quality of his Core.

Chen Yi spent more than twenty days hiding nearby in the vicinity of the Foundation Establishment cultivator hiding outside Little Cold Peak, employing the Shadow Evasion Skill and the Restraint Skill.

The hidden Foundation Establishment cultivator had not had an opportunity to make a move, but he was hiding in his Array Method, making it impossible for Chen Yi to strike him,

If Chen Yi were to try to kill him forcibly, he estimated that subduing him would be easy, but killing the cultivator would be difficult. If he were to alert his enemy in the process and let Tan Feng reveal Liu Emei's special physical condition, that could lead to disaster.

For this reason, Chen Yi had to remain hidden, waiting for the opportunity.

Finally, a middle-aged man in a gray robe came to this place quietly to meet with him.

"Old Yang, how's it going?"

"Mr. Tan, I've been here for half a day, and that little maid named Liu Emei hasn't taken a single step out of Little Cold Peak, so I really haven't had the opportunity to make a move."

Tan Feng frowned, "Didn't I already send someone to buy pills and Talisman Scrolls, inviting her out to deliver the goods? Why hasn't she come out yet? Is the price too low?"

"I really don't know why, it could be that the price is not right, or there may be other reasons, but the young lady just does not want to come out."

"If she doesn't come out soon, we're going to miss our chance. Alright, I understand. Maintain your position for two more months. I'll think of a way personally."

With this, the young master vanished in a flash.

After half a day, Tan Feng returned in a sumptuous and magnificent robe, alone, to formally pay a visit to Little Cold Peak:

"Is this the residence of Doctor Chen? I am an old friend of Doctor Chen, the current head of the Tan Family, Tan Feng. I would like to purchase some Talisman Scrolls and pills."

The Tan Family? Isn't that the enemy of Brother Chen?

No way!

Liu Emei was about to refuse, but she heard a voice transmission from Chen Yi.
