Chapter 434: Chapter 428: Finding an Apprentice

Yan Rufeng had an idea immediately pop into his mind.

"I want to terminate the master-servant contract with you..."

"Hehe!"

Yudie seemed to see through Yan Rufeng’s thoughts and smiled charmingly: "Brother Rufeng, are you thinking of terminating the master-servant contract?"

"Damn it!"

Yan Rufeng felt as if a thousand horses were galloping through his mind.

"She guessed again. How can anyone survive like this!"

Yudie rolled her eyes at Yan Rufeng.

"Brother Rufeng, let me tell you the truth, I am the Spiritual Body of the Innate Treasure, the Creation Jade Disc."

"Just think about it, an Innate Treasure that appeared before heaven and earth were formed, willingly bowing to someone and acknowledging them as the master. Do you think this master-servant contract can be terminated just because you say so?"

Yan Rufeng sneered and lifted his head coldly: "What if I insist on terminating it?"

Yudie smiled: "Brother Rufeng, this is not something you and I can control. Once an Innate Treasure recognizes a master, both rise and fall together. Neither party can unilaterally terminate the contract. If you don’t believe me, you can give it a try."

"Uh!"

Yan Rufeng, who prided himself on his invincible eloquence and ability to debate the world, suddenly found himself at a loss for words.

Then Yan Rufeng began muttering incantations, attempting to sever the master-servant relationship with Yudie. However, it proved to be in vain.

A moment later, a slightly spirit-exhausted Yan Rufeng weakly asked a question.

"Sister Yudie, can you tell me why you wanted to test my Soul Power?"

Yudie smiled sweetly: "Isn’t it to better understand you?"

"Haha! Understand me for what?"

Yan Rufeng sneered: "That’s a really weak excuse."

Yudie scoffed: "Although I’m just the Spiritual Body of the Creation Jade Disc, if I had any ill intentions toward you, I would have taken over long ago. Brother, stop worrying unnecessarily and torturing yourself."

"Heh!"

Yan Rufeng suddenly laughed.

"Sister Yudie, you didn’t suddenly show up just to tell me this, did you?"

"Hehe!"

Yudie laughed charmingly: "Brother, I’m here to analyze for you what your two disciples did in your past life."

"Oh!"

Yan Rufeng asked in shock: "What insights does Sister have?"

Yudie spoke slowly: "Brother, in your past life, when you were besieged by the Demon Clan, and before your self-detonation, the words spoken by the Demon Clan members, didn’t you have any doubts?"

Yan Rufeng fell into deep thought and then replied after a long time: "The Cultivation Technique practiced by the Demon Clan is different from ours. What use would they have for the Five Elements Qiankun Cultivation God Art."

"But Qingxiao and Jiayao always kept pestering me to teach them. Because they were not qualified, I never agreed."

"Unexpectedly, to obtain the technique, they colluded with the Demon Clan in advance, set up a trap, sent me several urgent Immortal Sword messages, and even made Mumu sacrifice himself."

"The matter is quite clear. What else is there to doubt?"

Facing Yudie, Yan Rufeng kept suppressing his anger without letting it out.

Yan Rufeng continued to insist on his point, while Yudie, an outsider, disagreed.

"Even so, you can’t just conclude that your disciples were in cahoots with the Demon Clan."

"If not, then what?"

Yudie said: "Anyway, I believe it is unlikely that the normally proud and domineering Demon Clan would work for two weak women. Moreover, after obtaining the technique, what benefit could the Demon Clan get from your two disciples?"

"True!"

Yan Rufeng suddenly fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Yan Rufeng slowly said: "Could it be that Qingxiao and Jiayao were being used?"

"But then, who was using them?"

Yudie smiled: "Brother, think about who in the Immortal Domain would most want you dead!"

Yan Rufeng calmly said: "In the Immortal Domain, there are many people who want me dead, countless indeed!"

"Uh! Countless? How many is that?"

Yan Rufeng extended one finger.

"Haha!"

Yudie laughed: "Just one and you call it countless!"

Yan Rufeng shook his head.

Yudie asked doubtfully: "Could it be a hundred?"

Yan Rufeng shook his head again.

"Is it a thousand?"

"No!"

"Then how many?" Yudie asked urgently.

Yan Rufeng calmly said: "At least a billion!"

"What? A billion?"

Yudie wiped the cold sweat from her brow and hurriedly said: "Brother Rufeng, I didn’t expect you to have so many enemies. With your cultivation level, walking around the Immortal Emperor Star will be extremely dangerous, and you could lose your life if you’re not careful. Let’s hurry back to Wanhua Valley."

Yan Rufeng shook his head and said: "Returning is out of the question. I need to find Qingxiao and Jiayao to uncover the truth behind the great battle from years ago — who was manipulating them to harm me and Mumu."

Yudie looked worried.

"Aren’t you afraid that your enemies will recognize and trouble you in the Immortal Domain?"

"Afraid?"

Yan Rufeng lifted his head with a hint of disdain on his face.

"In my dictionary, there’s no such word as fear."

"Tsk!"

Yudie scoffed: "When I mentioned the Soul Power Test earlier, I wonder whose heart was pounding nervously."

"Uh!"

Yan Rufeng’s expression turned somewhat ugly, and he murmured: "That was because you were the one involved. If it were someone else, I wouldn’t have shown such a reaction."

"Hehe!"

Yudie laughed charmingly: "Brother, stop bantering. Since Qingxiao and Jiayao are not at Wangyou Cliff, think about your next plan."

Yan Rufeng said flatly: "What else can I plan? Find Qingxiao and Jiayao first!"

"Alright then, go find them!"

"And you, Sister?" Yan Rufeng asked.

"Me?"

Yudie smiled sweetly: "I think the scenery here is quite nice. I plan to stay here for a year or so."

"No way?"

Yan Rufeng asked in disappointment: "Sister, are you sure you will stay here at Wangyou Cliff instead of returning to my Purple Mansion?"

"I’m not going back."

"Sister, you’re not following me just because the scenery here is nice?"

Yudie rolled her eyes at Yan Rufeng.

"Naturally, staying here allows someone to stop living in constant fear of his Divine Soul being taken over."

"Uh?"

"So, this was waiting for me?"

Yan Rufeng spread his hands helplessly and said: "The scenery at Wangyou Cliff is not only picturesque, but the Immortal Yuan Qi here is also exceptionally dense. Staying here even for a few days will make one feel immensely better. I’ll find Qingxiao and Jiayao, uncover the truth, and then come back to get you, Sister."

"Hehe!"

Yudie covered her face with a laugh: "Now go on, and don’t bother me during my seclusion."

Yan Rufeng shook his head and turned to leave.

Leaving Wangyou Cliff, Yan Rufeng let out a sigh.

"Sigh."

"Although I have both the Creation Jade Disc and the Six Paths Reincarnation Disk, two great Innate Treasures, and a Heaven-defying Technique, a Heaven-defying Divine Sword, in short, I still feel Xiao Jian treats me the best."

"Haha..."

A hearty laugh came from afar.

"Master, you now admit that I’m the best, don’t you?"

Yan Rufeng forced a slight smile.

"Xiao Jian, first take me to Luoxian City for a tour."

"Alright!"

A green streak of sword light flashed, and both man and sword vanished into the horizon...
