Chapter 651: Chapter 14: The sound of the Lei Family [Requesting Monthly Tickets!] _1

After all, the Demonic Bull was a creature of the Fourth Realm, and now it had vanished without a trace, dead or alive. The servants were naturally brought in for intense inquiry.

If the rune array of the regular fence was damaged and the beast escaped, there would certainly be traces. This kind of evaporating into thin air was indeed strange.

If one would scrutinize over time, they might suspect Chu Liang, but he never intended to stay long, so he naturally wasn’t afraid of this.

Before leaving, Steward Wang glanced at Chu Liang. The more apprehensive he was, the less Chu Liang bore any animosity towards him.

After all, this bull could be described as a means to harm him, but it was more like a blessing delivered to his doorstep. What a pity Steward Wang would probably not dare to repeat this. If there were more incidents of fence damage in the garden, he would end up losing his stewardship.

After making a ruckus for a while, Chu Liang continued to rest with closed eyes, while his Divine Sense plunged into the White Pagoda. Taking advantage of the attention being elsewhere, he quickly rewarded himself.

The imprint of the Demonic Bull was hanging there.

Boom —

Chu Liang stepped forward to activate the "refine" button, there was a sudden flash of red light. The reward in his hand was dulling, but it turned out to be a pair of black bullhorn-like objects.

[Mother-Child Communication Horn]:

Made from Mother-Child Black Rhinoceros Horns, put the child horn anywhere within a hundred miles, and you can hear the sounds near the child horn from the mother horn. Please note that this horn can only be used for communication and not for other purposes.

This thing...

Chu Liang looked at its function and couldn’t help but smile.

Isn’t this just a natural eavesdropping device.

Originally, I was going to leave an avatar in the court after work and sneak into the family head’s study room, which would carry some risk.

If I place an eavesdropping device into the room, that would be much more convenient.

Right away, he activated his External Avatar, leaving the clone to guard the garden so as not to arouse suspicion. His real body turned into wind and arrived inside the study room.

The study room was still empty. He looked left and right, and placed the child horn in a porcelain bottle on the shelves.

Previously, I thought about enlivening an ornament with the Reincarnation Rune, to serve as my eyes and ears. However, the things brought to life by the Reincarnation Rune have low intelligence, and if there is a lifeform nearby, a cultivator could easily detect it, so I gave up the idea.

This Mother-Child Communication Horn appeared at just the right time.

On second thought, I should thank Steward Wang for the gift.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to sneak into their well-guarded garden to kill those innocent demon beasts.

After placing the child horn, the sound of footsteps came from outside. Chu Liang quickly escaped through the window and returned to the garden.

Then he plunged his Divine Sense into the mother horn, ready to pry into the secrets of the study room.

The first thing he heard was a "wimp."

"Hmm?" Chu Liang frowned, realizing that things were not as simple as he thought.

Then he heard a soft, mellifluous female voice, "Mister Fang, you are quite bold, this is the master’s study."

"Hehe." Then came a man’s voice, "If you’re going to seek thrills, then follow through to the end."

"..."

With a full face of black lines, Chu Liang put down the mother horn.

I really didn’t expect such an exciting show.

After a moment, when he picked up the horn again, it had returned to silence.

It seemed that although these two people were thrill-seekers, they didn’t follow through for long.

...

By the time dinner rolled around, Chu Liang came to the courtyard assigned to the servants. Together with the other servants for the night, there was no further sound.

It wasn’t until the moon was high in the sky that there were sounds coming from the study room again.

It was the sound of two people’s footsteps.

"Has anyone been in my study?!" This time it was deep middle-aged man’s voice.

"Eh?" That Mister Fang’s voice rang out again, this time noticeably shaky. Even though Chu Liang wasn’t present, he could imagine his panicked face, trying to figure out where he had slipped up, but not daring to admit it.

"Otherwise, where did this letter come from?" The deep male voice rang out again.

"Ah..." Mister Fang breathed a sigh of relief, "So the master is talking about a letter."

"What else?" Turns out the middle-aged man was Lei Ren, the current head of the Lei Family.

"I thought the master had lost something important." Mister Fang immediately laughed, and his mood shifted naturally.

"You know me, would I place important things in the open?" Lei Ren paused, there was the sound of paper rustling as if he was reading the letter, and then he suddenly gasped, "It is actually this!"

"Master, what important thing is it?" Mister Fang asked.

"You came to my house to be a strategist, that must have been more than a decade ago?" Lei Ren said, "You probably don’t know why my Lei family came to Fengya Pass before then."

"Didn’t the Lei family move from Wood Branch City to Fengya Pass for easier demon beast hunting?" Mister Fang asked.

"That’s only the apparent reason, but in reality it’s due to a secret affair from those years..." Lei Ren’s voice gradually softened.

"Suddenly a piece of news spread in the Jianghu, there are four Immortal Treasure maps scattering around Nine States, whoever gathers them could find the legendary Endless Immortal Treasury to achieve immortality. At that time, all the major Immortal Clans were looking for the Immortal Treasure maps, and one of them appeared in Wood Branch City."

Lei Ren slowly narrated.

"At that time, my Lei family was also one of the major aristocratic families in Wood Branch City, naturally, we joined in the competition. The family head then was my father. In order to get that Immortal Treasure map, he fought with numerous other factions multiple times, until..." His words paused here.

"He got it?" Mister Fang asked.

"Until he was severely injured and dying, that’s when I was able to take his place." Lei Ren added.

Such a necessary pause, wasn’t it?

Mister Fang and Chu Liang in the distance simultaneously cursed in their hearts.

You sound quite happy about it, don’t you?

"After the family head died, my first action as the new head of the Lei family was to relocate the entire family." Lei Ren continued, "At that time, everyone in Wood Branch City thought we were scared and were trying to avoid attention, but what they would never have expected was..."

"That map of Immortal Treasure was already in our hands?" Mister Fang asked.

"No, they would never have expected that my wife was pregnant at that time." Lei Ren added.

Who cares about that?!

Mister Fang and Chu Liang had the same thought at the same time.

No one cares!

"Haha, on the day my father died, our child was born." Lei Ren continued: "Before his death, my father secretly branded that Immortal Treasure map on the child’s back, that’s why it hasn’t been found all these years. The fragment of that Immortal Treasure map has always been in my Lei family!"

"Sigh."

Mister Fang and Chu Liang sighed at the same time.

You could have mentioned this earlier.

So, the last Shenxu picture scroll is branded on the back of a child in the Lei family. Chu Liang quietly noted this crucial information.

Mister Fang then asked, "Does the master plan to follow the instructions in the letter, and trade with the mysterious person?"

"Of course not." Lei Ren said: "That’s the legendary Immortal Treasure. He wants to deceive me by saying it’s an ill-omened object? If it really were ill-omened, why would he rack his brains trying to get it?"

"Chaps." To this, Mister Fang said: "So the master means..."

"You must have guessed it, since this person wants the Immortal Treasure map, it indicates he must have a fragment too!"

...

While Chu Liang was secretly listening to their conversation, he had obtained vital intelligence. He transformed into a gust of wind and left immediately.

Jiang Yuebai had been waiting outside Lei family to assist Chu Liang, and they were always in contact with each other. At this moment, with the acquisition of vital intelligence, it was essential to discuss face to face on what to do next.

Meanwhile, during the time Chu Liang was eavesdropping, Jiang Yuebai, who had been waiting for him outside Lei family’s location, also had some unwelcome visitors.

Jiang Yuebai had been hiding on a cliff edge outside the Lei family home, a place easy for concealment. But just a moment ago, an array of divine lights plunged into the ground from the sky, instantly taking up the whole territory.

They were also observing Lei’s family from the distance, looking covetously, which suggested they are ill-intentioned.

Jiang Yuebai wanted to flee, but suddenly saw a familiar figure among the people who had just arrived.

"Feng Chaoyang?" Jiang Yuebai called out.

"Eh?" The man turned his head and revealed a handsome face; it was indeed the Chief Disciple of the Heavenly King Sect, Feng Chaoyang.

Six years had passed. Feng Chaoyang had grown much taller and his cultivation had also greatly improved.

On seeing Jiang Yuebai again, he instantly revealed a surprised and delighted smile, "Yue Bai! You’re here too? I haven’t seen you for many years. How come..."

"What are you planning to do to the Lei family?" Without any intention of catching up on old times, Jiang Yuebai cut right to the chase.

"Ah..." Startled by her question, Feng Chaoyang then answered, "We heard that the people of Thunder Fortress are coming here to trade with Lei Family..."

Jiang Yuebai nodded slightly, she had heard some rumors regarding the dispute between Thunder Fortress and the Heavenly King Sect over the years.

Before she could speak again, Feng Chaoyang said, "We all heard about what happened to Chu Liang, and I know you must be very sad. But Yue Bai, people always have to move forward, to look forward. Chu Liang has disappeared for so many years, he’s most likely dead by now. You have to find someone new, you can’t always dwell on the past..."

Without waiting for him to finish, Jiang Yuebai showed a mocking smile and said: "I suggest you look behind you."

"Hmm?" Feng Chaoyang blinked and laughed: "Don’t joke around, I’m being serious. When I was younger, maybe I didn’t understand, but now I can say, I’m truly, Yue Bai..."

"Ahem." From behind, a clear cough interrupted his passionate confession, "So it’s you who has been going around saying that I’m dead?"
