Chapter 208: Tang He's Plan

"Family Head, it's confirmed Yu Zhangsheng has arrived in Dongyang City."

Hearing this, Tang He's brush paused for a moment in his hand, then continued sketching; without raising his head, he said lightly:

"Very good. Were there any accidents? He wasn't discovered, right?"

"Should be..." The black-robed cultivator opened his mouth, about to say no, but upon second thought, recalling Yu Zhangsheng's final glance, he suddenly hesitated.

"Should... be no?" The black-robed cultivator said, his tone carrying some uncertainty.

"Should be?" Tang He casually frowned and asked lightly.

"That kid doesn't seem simple; his spiritual sense seems very sharp." The black-robed cultivator lowered his head, his voice weak, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Although Yu Zhangsheng had exposed his Golden Core divine sense during the Inner Disciple Trial that day, after all, not everyone was so discerning; apart from a few, most merely thought Yu Zhangsheng had used some special means.

Plus, with Wei Lao deliberately concealing the news, and this place being truly far from Wanxiang Sect, Tang He naturally wouldn't think Yu Zhangsheng possessed divine sense power comparable to a Golden Core.

Their supposedly watertight surveillance had actually been discovered as soon as Yu Zhangsheng stepped into Dongyang City; it was just that Yu Zhangsheng couldn't be bothered to startle the snake.

"Sharp spiritual sense?" Tang He continued writing, occasionally glancing at the black-robed cultivator before him, saying lightly: "Your Shadow Merging Technique is hard even for me to detect; how could a little Qi Refining brat notice it? You're overthinking it."

The news of Yu Zhangsheng's Foundation Establishment, apart from his Master and Lu Ruikai and Shen Xingchen, was still unknown to others within Wanxiang Sect for the time being.

Plus, along the way Yu Zhangsheng had deliberately used Disguise Treasure Pearls to hide his cultivation base; the Tang Family's impression of Yu Zhangsheng was merely that he was a Qi Refining Peak cultivator.

"However, even if he noticed something, so what? He's ultimately just a little brat who hasn't even grown his hair yet."

"In Wanxiang Sect and Haoyue City I can't move against you, but since you've arrived at my turf, with the Emperor far away and heaven high, heh, an accident here and there isn't exactly abnormal, is it?"

Tang He chuckled softly, the hand holding his brush unconsciously adding a bit more force, the ink darker; on his gentle face, a trace of coldness inadvertently showed.

"Since you've come, you must be properly entertained; you killed my brother, exterminated my son, and really thought having a Third-Rank Alchemist protecting you would keep you safe?"

"If it weren't for Gongsun Yang having some connections, that old thing would count for nothing."

"This grudge, how could it be so easily let go?!"

Tang He coldly laughed; thinking of the painful part, a trace of pain and hatred flickered in his eyes, and his own cultivation base couldn't help but erupt; the pressure of Foundation Establishment Middle Stage swept in like a vast sea, suffocating; within the small study, the air seemed to begin solidifying.

The black-robed cultivator's figure couldn't help but tremble slightly; bean-sized beads of sweat continuously dripped from his forehead; he was only Foundation Establishment First Layer, his cultivation base raised through some special method, merely skilled in concealment techniques.

Really thinking about it, relying on Tang He's cultivation base, exterminating him was merely a matter of a blink; this was also why he dared not rashly probe Yu Zhangsheng back then.

Fortunately, this pressure didn't last long; just a moment, and Tang He recovered his calm appearance; amidst the flickering lamplight, the ink was rich and dense.

"As a Beast Tamer, hearing news of the Qingluo Beast, his coming is normal; it's not that I deliberately released this news; even if it drew so many other cultivators, increasing the uncertainty of my capturing the Qingluo Beast."

"But as long as Yu Zhangsheng takes the bait, then all this is still worth it." Tang He pondered, continuing: "This way, you release the news, saying traces of the Qingluo Beast were found again on Honghu Mountain, while secretly contacting Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators to follow Yu Zhangsheng for me; as for the Foundation Establishment cultivators within the clan, they're not needed for now; although here the Emperor is far away, traces might still be left."

"I think, dealing with a Qi Refining Cultivator, offering payment, those poor Loose Cultivators shouldn't be able to refuse."

Tang He heh coldly laughed; Foundation Establishment in Dongyang City also counted as high-end combat power; even the entire Tang Family only had a few.

Being able to mobilize this lineup to hunt down Yu Zhangsheng was enough to show how much Tang He valued Yu Zhangsheng.

"This time, I think Yu Zhangsheng should have difficulty escaping even with wings."

Tang He slowly closed his eyes; upon opening them, killing intent in his eyes was not concealed at all; he pressed his fingers hard; amidst Dragon Flying Phoenix Dancing, a huge character appeared on the xuan paper—

"Die!"

……

On the Other Side, Yu Zhangsheng slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of Turbid Qi, and a smile fell to the bottom of his eyes.

"So that's how it is; the Tang Family, huh; even letting news of the Qingluo Beast leak out, they still want to put me to death; this grudge, it seems cannot be resolved."

"However, speaking of which, looking at it this way, at least the news of the Qingluo Beast truly exists; that counts as a good thing."

From the beginning, Yu Zhangsheng had held a doubtful attitude toward this news of the Qingluo Beast.

Therefore, from the moment he entered Dongyang City, he was especially cautious, his Divine Sense probing without interruption; and after noticing the black-robed cultivator's surveillance, he placed a bit of spirit on him; under the empowerment of the Wan Ling Jue, every move of the black-robed cultivator entering the Tang Mansion was fully observed by Yu Zhangsheng.

"This Wan Ling Jue plus my Divine Sense is truly abnormal; unbeknownst to gods or ghosts, impossible to guard against, and it doesn't emit Divine Sense fluctuations, not easy to be noticed; indeed it's a scouting divine art."

"It's just a pity it can't last long; otherwise it would truly be a godly technique."

Yu Zhangsheng sighed slightly; the wonder of the Wan Ling Jue indeed surprised him; after being grateful to Wei Lao, he fell into contemplation.

"However, now the entire Dongyang City is mixed with dragons and snakes these days; one still needs to be careful and not underestimate the enemy, but... if you really think a few miscellaneous fish cultivators can deal with me..."

A trace of coldness flashed in Yu Zhangsheng's eyes; a bloodthirsty smile curved up: "Then I don't mind letting this Dongyang City move a bit; all this killing and grudges coming and going is too troublesome; it should be ended sooner."

The sky was like a curtain, the stars became embellishments; this night the bright moon hung high, especially bright among the stars.

Moonlight like water fell on the ancient city, adding several touches of charm to the somewhat mottled city walls; falling on the blue stone alleys, it shone brightly.

Meanwhile, pedestrians hurried along, panicked; various Loose Cultivators gradually appeared under the night; some took the opportunity to kill and seize treasures; some were wanted and fled for their lives.

A cool breeze blew, carrying the coolness of night, mixed with a faint scent of blood; slightly solemn; killing and stillness bloomed at the same time; amidst the liveliness, countless cultivators couldn't sleep all night.

One night passed without words.
