Chapter 376: Chapter 370: Severely Lacking Immortal Jade

"What?"

Zhao Ming couldn’t believe his ears. He collapsed to the ground, his legs giving way.

An elderly man in white robes said in the hall, "Shuo’er, isn’t there any other way to save Shan’er?"

Zhao Shuo replied slowly, "Third Uncle, there is a way, but it’s unrealistic."

The elderly man urgently asked, "What way?"

Zhao Shuo responded flatly, "Unless we find another strong individual at the Immortal Venerable Realm to help, only then can we save Shan’er. However, there are only a few Immortal Venerables in the entire Immortal Domain, and even if we find them, they may not come."

"Sigh..."

The elderly man let out a long sigh.

"At present, it seems that only by finding Emperor Yan can we save Shan’er."

At this moment, Zhao Ming suddenly crawled over to the elderly man and tightly hugged his leg.

"Third Uncle, please send someone quickly to find Emperor Yan, and beg him to save Shan’er..."

Zhao Ming repeatedly pleaded desperately with the elderly man.

The elderly man looked at Zhao Ming, once so confident but now in such a state for the sake of Zhao Shan, and couldn’t help but shed tears.

"Shuo’er, Zhao Shan cannot die."

Zhao Shuo paused for a moment, then resolutely said, "Third Uncle, I will immediately inform the entire city, and have everyone from all the families search for Emperor Yan, aiming to find him within a day..."

To save Zhao Shan, Zhao Shuo engraved Yan Rufeng’s portrait on a Communication Immortal Sword.

The Communication Immortal Sword is an immortal communication tool, its speed is a thousand times that of a Communication Jade Scroll, and with an Immortal Monarch Realm expert’s engraving, it is even a thousand times faster...

A thousand beams of light flashed from the inner courtyard of the Zhao family, and a thousand Communication Immortal Swords flew towards various parts of Feng City. In a quarter of an hour, each family patriarch in Feng City had a Communication Immortal Sword in hand.

The Communication Immortal Sword sent by Zhao Shuo not only bore Yan Rufeng’s portrait but also contained a single message.

"Whoever finds this person, immediately notify the City Lord, with a reward of one hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Jade!"

In an instant, the entire city of Feng City was mobilized to search for Yan Rufeng, aiming for the hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Jade reward...

Southeast Feng City, Li family residence. Li Mo, holding the Communication Immortal Sword sent by Zhao Shuo, stood there in a daze, unable to believe that the Yan Rufeng brought by Li Xihan was the same person Zhao Shuo was searching for.

Li Mo was deeply worried and thought, "I didn’t expect that he is the Yan Rufeng Xihan mentioned. Now that Zhao Shuo is willing to pay a high price to find him, could it be that he indeed forced the Zhao family to break off the engagement with our Li family..."

Immediately, Li Mo furrowed his brows deeply and thought, "Yan Rufeng is now in the Li family’s courtyard. If I conceal this and the Zhao family finds out one day, they will surely blame our Li family. But if I tell the Zhao family that Yan Rufeng is with us, aside from gaining a reputation for disloyalty, if Yan Rufeng then accuses us of being the ones who forced the Zhao family to break off the engagement, what should I do..."

Li Mo was caught in a dilemma.

Things in the world can be so coincidental. Just after Li Xihan brought Yan Rufeng to the Li family and saw Li Mo, the Communication Immortal Sword from the Zhao family arrived in Li Mo’s hand.

Sensitive to nuances, Yan Rufeng noticed that something was odd with Li Mo and gave a faint smile.

"I don’t understand why Patriarch Li has such an expression."

Hearing Yan Rufeng’s question, Li Mo sighed internally and thought, "No matter, let’s first figure out Yan Rufeng’s background."

With a courteous smile, Li Mo said, "Young Master Yan, I heard from my daughter that you went alone to the Zhao family for her, and it was you who made the Zhao family unconditionally break off the engagement?"

Yan Rufeng responded calmly, "Patriarch Li, your daughter Xihan once helped me. I am someone who doesn’t like owing favors. Doing this was also to repay a favor and fulfill your daughter’s wish."

Li Mo fell silent and thought, "Judging by his tone, it seems like the powerful Zhao family means nothing to him. But how could a mere True Immortal Realm junior have such confidence?"

Li Mo remained silent, seeing the situation becoming awkward. Li Xihan stepped in, "Father, Young Master Yan forcing the Zhao family to break off the engagement has already made him my lifesaver. I’ll go instruct the servants to prepare a banquet to entertain Young Master Yan."

Contemplating whether to inform Zhao Shuo about Yan Rufeng being in the Li family, Li Mo nodded and allowed Li Xihan, then instructed, "Do everything at the highest standard..."

After Li Xihan left, Li Mo suddenly got an idea and smiled slightly, "Young Master Yan, although I’m not sure how you forced the Zhao family to break off this engagement, I must inform you of something."

"Oh!"

Yan Rufeng smiled, "Patriarch Li, feel free to speak your mind."

Li Mo handed the Communication Immortal Sword to Yan Rufeng.

"Young Master Yan, this Communication Immortal Sword was just sent by Zhao Shuo. Take a look yourself."

Holding the Communication Immortal Sword, Yan Rufeng spread out his Divine Sense to inspect it.

"Haha!"

After reviewing the Communication Immortal Sword, Yan Rufeng laughed, "Patriarch Li, I have a deal. Would you be interested?"

Li Mo asked in confusion, "What exactly is the deal you speak of, Young Master Yan?"

Yan Rufeng smiled, "Didn’t Zhao Shuo mention that whoever finds my whereabouts would be rewarded with one hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Jade?"

Li Mo scrutinized Yan Rufeng carefully, feeling skeptical.

"Who would willingly walk into the tiger’s mouth? Yan Rufeng’s deal must be testing the Li family. A person whom the Zhao family would mobilize the entire city to search for is definitely extraordinary, and our Li family cannot afford to offend him. Mishandling this matter could drag the Li family into this conflict."

Li Mo shook his head and said, "Young Master Yan, I’m not interested in the business you’re proposing."

"Sigh..."

Yan Rufeng shook his head helplessly, "Patriarch Li, I don’t know what you’re worried about. I currently don’t have any Immortal Jade on me. Right now, Zhao Shuo is simply sending money our way. If you report, we’ll split the reward fifty-fifty. Why not?"

Li Mo questioned, "Young Master Yan, with a single word, you can make the Zhao family break off the engagement with our Li family. Do you really not have any Immortal Jade on you? Is it necessary to risk your life to earn that fifty thousand top-grade Immortal Jade?"

Yan Rufeng sighed, "Patriarch Li, nothing is impossible in this world. If I had Immortal Jade, why would I let your daughter cover my entry fee into Feng City? I’m really short on Immortal Jade right now."

Li Mo suddenly recalled that Li Xihan once mentioned covering Yan Rufeng’s entry fee when they first met.

Yan Rufeng’s voice rang in Li Mo’s ears again.

"Patriarch Li, you can now send the Communication Immortal Sword to Zhao Shuo, telling him I, Yan Rufeng, am here."

Li Mo hesitated, thinking, "It seems like Yan Rufeng is not testing me. But if Zhao Shuo comes here, Yan Rufeng might be in grave danger. Is he really doing this just because he is so short on Immortal Jade..."
