“Why was she killed? Could it be the Jade Spiral cultivators?” Wu Zhu pressed, these years he had been investigating this matter, but looking at this star system, the only ones who could have killed Qin Yuandai were those from the Jade Spiral. That’s why he suspected them.
<<>>
Wu Zhu had been bearing it all these years, waiting until he reached the late stage of Yue Yao before going to inquire about it.
<<
>>>
"I am not a Yuluo cultivator. It was I who killed Yueyao, that noblewoman of your realm!" Lu Ye looked calmly at Wu Zhuo.
<<>>
Since Lu Ye admitted it, he naturally didn't want to hide it. Qin Yuandai's death was known to Tang Jun and many cultivators in the Nine Continents. There is no wall that doesn't leak wind in this world. Rather than letting Wu Zhu learn about it through other channels in the future, it's better for him to explain everything here.
As for killing Qin Yuandai, he didn't think he had done anything wrong. Back then, it was either their death or his.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! "That Qin Yuandai Daoist, I indeed killed him!"
Even though Wu Zhuo's might was like a mountain, imposing and formidable, Lu Ye remained calm and composed.
<<<"Just you?" Wu Zhu's voice turned cold. Although Qin Yuandai was old and frail, she was at least a Moon Yao mid-stage cultivator. How could Lu Ye, a mere Star Realm cultivator, possibly kill her? He instinctively felt that something was amiss.>>>
Lu Ye said, "In terms of strength, I am naturally no match for her. But wanting to kill someone doesn't simply require strength; one can also use... external force!" With that, Lu Ye raised his hand and squeezed it. A red glow bloomed at his fingertips.
<<>>
Lu Ye nodded. "A red talisman from the Minor Race people!"
武卓's gaze darted back and forth between Lü Ye and the red talisman, before finally speaking after a long silence: “Fellow Daoist, if you think you can threaten me with this red talisman, you are mistaken. At such close range, even if you could activate its power, I could still take your life!”
Lu Ye's expression remained serene. With a casual glance, the red glow on his fingertips dissipated. "I came here only to discuss some cooperation with my fellow cultivators. I'm not threatening you in any way. You asked, so I answered."
Wu Zhu stared fixedly at Lu Ye, a hint of surprise in his eyes. He hadn't expected Lu Ye to dispel the power of the red talisman. Without the red talisman's constraints, if he wanted to take Lu Ye's life now, it would be as easy as turning his palm over.
He understood clearly. Though this young man appeared to be quite young, his courage was extraordinary.
"Are you so sure I won't kill you?" Wu Zhu leaned forward slightly, the feeling of the ancient beast growing stronger.
"Though I've never met you, Daoist friend, I learned a lot about you from my chats with Old Tang. You are ambitious, and ambitious people never cut off their escape routes. They wouldn't make reckless moves!"
"Humph!" Wu Zhu let out a soft hum, and as his body leaned forward, the surrounding pressure dissipated. He remained silent for a moment before asking, "Does Tang Jun know about this?"
"Back then, Lao Tang and that friend Qin went to Wushuang together. They witnessed the event with their own eyes, which is why Lao Tang has been relentlessly pursuing me ever since. In the end, both he and I were trapped in a newly formed wormhole. Fortunately, we managed to escape, and that's how I ended up entering the Myriad Realms Galaxy."
Wuzhu couldn't help but frown, because in the jade slip, Tang Jun didn't explain this clearly. He only said that he fell into the nascent worm path with Lu Ye, without mentioning the reason. It turned out there was another layer to it. Looking at it this way, Tang Jun seemed to be intentionally concealing something.
"Why did the conflict happen?" Wu Zhu asked, some things had passed, but they still needed to be figured out.
Lu Ye then recounted the initial conflict. Wu Zhu's face darkened as he listened, because even in the Qingli Dao Realm, the Wan Hun Banner was a prohibited item, too inhumane.
He didn't expect that Qin Yuandai's heir would secretly run out and find a thriving domain to refine the Soul-Gathering Banner.
This is simply not worth mentioning. You must know that any habitable area in this star system is a resource, just like the Qingfeng Realm to the Qingli Dao Realm, it holds some value.
If all the celestial cultivators were to run rampant and wreak havoc across the domains, what future would there be left in this cultivation world?
Qin Yuandai also had inescapable responsibility. Knowing what her junior disciples had done, she not only failed to stop them but even sheltered them. As a result, they capsized in the gutter and were killed by someone with a red talisman.
Whatever bad things could happen, they all happened to him. Wu Zhu couldn't help but feel resentful in his heart.
"The culprit has been dealt with, and I've avenged the nine Heavenly cultivators who died. I have no intention of pursuing this matter further." Lu Ye spoke slowly.
Wu Zhu couldn't help but glance at him, wanting to ask him what gave him the right to question him. But thinking that this matter was caused by people from the Qingli Dao realm, he really didn't have the guts to ask.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! "He remained silent for a while before saying, "Have you and Tang Jun made up?" Otherwise, there was no reason for Tang Jun to help Lu Ye cover this up."
Lu Ye said, "People die and cannot be resurrected. Since I and he both ended up in the Myriad Realms Star System, we can only rely on each other. What else could we possibly care about?"
<<>>
Let's not dwell on this any further. Wu Zhuo, full of excitement, asked: "Daoist Lu, how long did it take you to return from the Myriad Forms Star System?"
Lu Ye said, "About three years."
Wu Zhu suddenly regained his spirits: “If my friend returns, it will only take this long again?”
"Almost there!"
How many people can you take?
"How many people do you want me to bring?" Lu Ye asked in return.
Wǔ Zhuò was about to say the more the better, even he wanted to go to the Wanxiang Star System himself. But after thinking carefully, it wasn't very practical. Their own star system had a limited number of stars, and it was impossible for them to leave them all behind. He couldn't go either. Even if Lù Yè had this ability, the Qinglì Dao Realm didn't have that foundation.
"I know what you're thinking, friend," Lu Ye said. "But this isn't just a matter between me, the Nine Heavens, and the Qingli Dao Realm. Old Tang and I have discussed it, and we need to rope in Yu Luo to make this happen."
"Why is this?" Wu Zhu frowned, clearly not wanting Yu Lu to get involved in this.
Lu Ye said, "The power in the Sea of Myriad Forms is abundant, and there are many rules. If you want to establish a foothold there, Yue Yao is indispensable. To tell you the truth, my Nine Heavens realm is newly established, and we don't have any Yue Yao. Lao Tang is alone over there, struggling on his own. Since you need to preside over the Dao Realm and cannot leave, if you want help from Yue Yao, you can only rely on Yu Luo to provide."
Wu Zhu's expression turned downcast for a moment, before he helplessly nodded. "Let them have it then!"
<<>>
<<>
As for whether the Jade Shell would be interested... that's something we don't need to consider. Without and Dà Luo stars are things that can be seen, the Jade Shell couldn't possibly miss them. If they really couldn't see them, then they deserve to remain forever trapped on this patch of land. Lu Ye doesn't have to drag them along to get rich either.
"It's fine to go to Yuluo, I'm somewhat familiar with that place." Wu Zhu nodded. "However, fellow Daoist, the Heavenly Nine Style is waning, and our Qingli Dao realm isn't doing much better either. If something like this were to reach Yuluo's ears, they might develop some ill intentions…"
<<>>
Wu Zhu heard this and nodded: “I understand!”
"Another thing, Dao friend, you need to remember."
Wuzhuo said, "What is it?"
Lü Yè said: "When I was discussing this matter with Lao Tang, he told me something. He said that there were some problems in your world. The cultivators who promoted to Xingxu in your world could hardly be promoted to Yuéyáo. So he hoped that some places would be sent to Wushuang for cultivation every year, and they could promote to Xingxu. I agreed to him at the time, but in fact, the Wushuang Realm is not suitable for the promotion of Xingxu because it is just an ordinary realm, and the corpses are rampant."
When Wu Zhu heard this, he became even more worried about Tang Jun's intelligence.
Lu Ye continued, "Daoist friend, if you go to Yuluo, you can talk to them about this. If you can reach an agreement, it will also be considered my explanation to Lao Tang."
Wǔ Zhuò nodded: "Before, we had considered sending some people to Yúló Jìn shēng Xīng sù, but as fellow Daoists know, the spiritual light nurtured by large realms is their own foundation. It is understandable for cultivators of this realm to use it for ascension, but they would never easily allow cultivators from other realms to obtain it, so we gave up on the idea. However, if this matter were to be discussed this time, it wouldn't be out of the question."
At least there's hope of success, Lu Yiye is trying his best.
Lu Ye stood up and said, "Then I'll leave the matter of the jade snail to Daoist friend. I still need to return to the Nine Heavens, so farewell!"
Though Wu Zhu wished to keep Lu Ye for a while longer, asking him more about the Wanxiang Star Region, seeing Lu Ye's resolute determination, he wouldn't force him. He stood up and saw him off.
"By the way, Lu Daoist friend, some things are hard to prove verbally. Daoist friend, do you have any specialties from Wanxiang Sea to leave behind? In this way, I'll bring jade snails as well, and it will be more convincing for them." Wu Zhu suddenly spoke.
<<<"Specialties..." Lu Ye thought for a moment and took out a few strands of Bai Ling directly. “This is Ling Yu from the Wanxiang Sea, it's a special kind of star beast, valuable both for cooking and medicine.” >>> |
