Chapter 151

Yin Thirteen smiled slightly, but his eyes were extremely serious: "Senior brother has to nag a few words; the most important thing about the Hidden Sect is the word 'Hidden.' Even if you become a Divine Hidden Person in the future, you must try your best to hide this identity when dealing with the people you trust most. Don't say she is Cang Li's sister; even Cang Li himself wouldn't do."

"I will report this matter truthfully to the Hidden Lord in the future; please don't blame me, junior brother."

"Thirteen senior brother, rest assured! I will restrain her myself; our identities will not be leaked from her mouth," Li Li Youyi could understand Yin Thirteen's worry, but he had long guessed the identity of the Hidden Lord, so he didn't think this matter would cause much consequence.

If he officially became a Divine Hidden Person, these would not be issues.

A Divine Hidden Person would naturally be responsible for his own actions, and no one had the qualification to blame or interfere.

Li Li Youyi asked: "How did you leave Yao Guan? Are Seeing Yao Yin and the others safe?"

Yin Thirteen transmitted with magic power: "We took the underground blood river; half a month ago, the Hidden People withdrew from Lizhou in batches, each to their own destination. Seeing Yao Yin and Yin Twenty-Four and the others should have followed Yin Nine to Qiuzhou state city to join the fun of the Qianlong Lantern Festival!"

"With Yin Nine's cultivation base and talent, he is fully qualified to compete for the treasures brought out by the Due Temple, not to mention the Longevity Pill; just the Dragon Seed is a fatal attraction to the top geniuses of the younger generation who are about to step into the Dao Seed Realm."

"What is a Dragon Seed?" Li Li Youyi asked curiously.

"I only know that it is an extremely precious Dao seed."

Yin Thirteen glanced at Li Ling, who was completely wrapped in a black robe, and suddenly said meaningfully: "Li Youyi, that girl Seeing Yao Yin cares very much about your safety and wanted to go deep into the Longshan mountain range to find you many times; fortunately, everyone stopped her, and in the end, Yin Twenty-Four forcibly took her away."

"I've made everyone worry; didn't I walk out of the Nether Realm of the Dead safe and sound?"

Li Li Youyi thought of Seeing Yao Yin's physical condition and felt worried in his heart. Her ice-soul cold Qi could flare up at any time, and no one knew if the next time would be the end of her life.

He had to find her as soon as possible.

What he promised, he must do.

"Thirteen senior brother, you said earlier that your mission this time was to cover a group of important imperial court members to head to Qiuzhou?" Li Li Youyi asked.

"Now the entire Southern Region is most stable in Qiuzhou, and everyone is fleeing there."

Yin Thirteen asked: "Why don't you two come with us! Zhizhou is not a safe place; the Li clan is powerful, but they don't have many rules and have great ambition. Not long ago, they sent troops into Lizhou to make trouble for the Jiuli clan, which is no different from thieves taking advantage of a fire. Moreover, the hill Night City cavalry in the south of Zhizhou often appears, looting passing martial cultivators."

Li Li Youyi naturally wanted nothing more than that; he didn't want to sleep in the open and be exhausted on the road every day, without any time to cultivate. He said: "Is it convenient?"

Yin Thirteen laughed heartily: "If your senior brother didn't even have this ability, what qualification would I have to be in charge of the Five Seas Realm affairs of the Hidden Sect?"

The steaming hot noodle soup was served.

After finishing a bowl, and after paying the bill, Yin Thirteen took Li Li Youyi and Li Ling and more than a dozen eunuchs purchasing supplies toward the pier.

As for the news of the collusion between the Three Chen Palace, Night City, and Ember Spirits, it had naturally been spread out first.

On the pier outside the town, apart from various messy fishing boats, there was only one large ship suitable for long-distance navigation.

It was a three-story building ship over seventy meters long, with a "Coffin Sea" flag hanging on the bow, using the merchant ship of the Coffin Sea Chamber of Commerce as a cover; otherwise, it would be difficult to pass through this region controlled by the Li clan.

The Coffin Sea Chamber of Commerce would pay off along the way every season, sending out massive amounts of silver just to ensure the shipping lanes were clear.

The turmoil in Lizhou had broken out for more than a month, and the truly important imperial court members had long since evacuated.

On this ship, almost all were the concubines kept by imperial officials, as well as illegitimate sons and daughters. They couldn't see the light of day and couldn't leave with the real families of the officials, so they could only be secretly picked up and settled by the people of the Attendant Hall.

Yin Thirteen was the Chief Registrar of the First Office of the Three Offices of the Lizhou Attendant Hall, and his status on the ship was very high; all trivial matters were under his management, and he was the third-ranking figure, second only to "Lady Xue" and the Guard Commander "Wu Wu Zhaonan."

Lady Xue, according to Yin Thirteen, even he hadn't seen her true body, only knowing that her background was very large, and she was the one with the highest status among all the concubines, living in the highest third-story cabin.

The entire third floor, apart from the guards, servants, and maids Lady Xue brought herself, was not allowed to be stepped on by anyone else, otherwise, they would be killed without mercy.

Wu Wu Zhaonan wore magic artifact armor, his tiger body was tall and sturdy, looking like he was in his forties or fifties, with gray short whiskers on his chin, but his real age was actually over seventy.

"Secret agents of the Attendant Hall?"

Wu Wu Zhaonan's gaze was strange as he looked at Li Li Youyi and Li Ling following Yin Thirteen.

He wasn't doubting the authenticity of the secret agent status of Li Li Youyi and the others, but their attire was really too strange.

Li Ling was a rare pure immortal body after all, so to cover this up, she wore a ghost mask on her face and wore wide robes. Li Li Youyi had to cooperate with her, so naturally, he was in the same attire.

Yin Thirteen smiled: "I happened to meet them in Tianchi Town; they have a secret mission and are also heading to Qiuzhou."

Wu Wu Zhaonan didn't ask too many questions, clearly trusting Yin Thirteen.

"This Guard Commander is a fourth-realm Five Seas cultivation base, right?" Walking in the corridor of the deck, Li Li Youyi transmitted with magic power.

Yin Thirteen was quite surprised: "Good eyesight."

Li Li Youyi had already fought with a fourth-realm Five Seas martial cultivator, so he naturally had a rough judgment of the intent aura of this level of martial cultivator in his heart.

Third-story building ship.

Zhuang Yue, wearing a blue maid uniform, returned quickly to the luxurious and spacious cabin room.

Inside the room, a hundred-character array was arranged; some array characters were suspended in mid-air, and some were stuck to the floor, walls, windows, and roof.

Jiang Ning sat in the center of the array, her upper body almost bare, her face pale, fine beads of sweat on her forehead, pure and formidable magic power circulating on her body, eyes closed to heal her injuries.

Her snow-white back, like jade skin, was originally perfect and flawless, like a masterpiece of heaven, but it was destroyed by a claw mark deep enough to see the bone, constantly leaking black mist.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of black blood was spat out from her mouth.

Her eyelids opened slightly, revealing a pair of tired and weak eyes; she draped her outer garment back on her body and exhaled quietly: "What a powerful Night Emperor Toad poison!"

"Still unable to completely refine and force out the toxin?" Zhuang Yue was very worried; she had never seen her young lady injured so heavily.

Jiang Ning shook her head: "In the legends, the Night Emperor Toad is a poisonous beast raised by the ancient Son of Heaven, and its poison is no small matter. That claw mark General Yuwen General Yuwen Tuozhen used to sneak attack me was soaked in this poison. Fortunately, tens of thousands of years have passed, and the real Night Emperor Toad poison has long been extinct, leaving only some poison tools with a large loss of toxicity. What's the situation outside?"

Zhuang Yue reported: "We have already escaped Lizhou and entered the Zhizhou region. Young lady is brilliant, using this move to deceive the world; Long Ting, General Yuwen General Yuwen Tuozhen, Mie Di, and Dao Di will inevitably lose their target, so how can they catch up?"

More than a month ago in the Longshan mountain range, Jiang Ning chased and killed Long Ting into the Nether Realm of the Dead, but was ambushed by Night City Young Master General Yuwen General Yuwen Tuozhen and Mie Di and Dao Di.

After being seriously injured, she was pursued and intercepted by these four top experts, almost dying in the Nether Realm; it was only after fighting wits and courage all the way that she escaped back to Jiuli City in a roundabout way.

But the imperial court experts led by the Lizhou Governor had long since evacuated Jiuli City, and with no one to use, Jiang Ning could only hide on this ship and disappear from the vision of the four top experts.

The real Lady Xue had long been controlled by her with runes, becoming a puppet to issue orders.

Jiang Ning shook her head gently: "These four are not ordinary figures; their wisdom and martial arts are all top-notch among the younger generation. Although I set up a suspicious array in Jiuli City to create the illusion that I am still in the city, how long I can interfere with them is really hard to say. Moreover, this ship has weak defensive capabilities; whether it can carry through other dangers on the road is still unknown."

Zhuang Yue said: "By the way, young lady, two secret agents of the Attendant Hall just boarded the ship; should we contact them?"

The Attendant Hall is a subordinate force of the Green Luan Terrace.

"Don't cause extra trouble; not letting anyone know we are on the ship is the best."

Jiang Ning continued to heal.

Li Li Youyi and Li Ling were settled in the stern of the ship on the first floor, with two cabins adjacent.

Li Ling entered the cabin to take a look, then walked out: "Just arrange one room!"

Hearing this, not to mention Yin Thirteen being stunned, even Li Li Youyi was not used to it, feeling that the relationship didn't need to develop so fast.

Staring at Li Ling entering Li Li Youyi's cabin, Yin Thirteen gave Li Li Youyi a cautious look and transmitted with magic power: "Senior brother has to remind you, Li Ling's identity is not simple; don't provoke her easily, and don't stand on two boats. You have to think clearly, what about Seeing Yao Yin? Also, don't go to the third-story cabin; if there is anything, find me at any time. My official name is Chen Chuan; you can call me Registrar Chen or Manager Chen."

When Yin Thirteen left, he patted Li Li Youyi on the shoulder heavily.

"Seeing Yao Yin?"

When Li Li Youyi promised Chan Hai Guan Wu to try falling in love, he hadn't thought about this problem at all.

In his view, Seeing Yao Yin was just a little sister who was enough to make people feel sorry for her.

Walking into the crowded and narrow cabin, he looked at Li Ling sitting on the edge of the bed.

Li Ling said in a clear and quiet tone: "I want to enter the Shaoyang Star and continue to absorb the power there to nourish my soul and strengthen my physical body."

"That's good; I have the same intention."

Li Li Youyi breathed a sigh of relief, preparing to go into seclusion in the Shaoyang Star on the way to Qiuzhou, striving to break through to become a Great Mentalist as soon as possible and pick the Xihe flower.

He took out the ghost flags and shadow flags to arrange them in the cabin.

That afternoon.

The building ship was pulled by three water lion beasts and sailed upstream.

Inside the blood-mud space.

Li Li Youyi took out the boundary bag and poured out nearly a hundred jin of immortal soil, spreading it into a small piece of land three feet square on the spiritual soil.

The immortal soil was four-colored, flowing with light and color, completely different from the soil of this world, with a sense of mystery and treasure.

He sat on the ground like a wealthy landlord and counted.

There were 154 dyed-mist exotic medicines on him, which couldn't all be planted. So, he only took out ten dyed-mist exotic medicines that could help open the Qi sea and planted them in the immortal soil.

One liang of immortal soil is worth a million silver!

A hundred jin of immortal soil could already be called priceless.
