Chapter 3733: Unnoticed

The two close bodyguards heard that he wasn't going out, so they didn't follow. Jiang Lan's courage isn't great; before, without those two with him, he would absolutely never go out.

The black cat also didn't notice any realm fluctuation, so they didn't pay much attention.

"First go to the training ground, see if the other two legitimate Jiang family heirs are there, the rest is up to you!"

Ye Liuyun sent a Transmission Voice to Little Witch.

"Master, don't worry! But I sense a very strong Soul fluctuation in the Jiang family's back mountain," Little Witch also told Ye Liuyun.

"Hmm, that place is where the Jiang family's founding ancestor cultivated, so his Divine Soul Power should be stronger there. It's also the hiding place of that ancient Dragon Pearl, and it's said that within the pearl lies a dragon soul that has become a god." Ye Liuyun didn't hide this from Little Witch.

"If it's already a god, can only its Soul remain? Who could kill a dragon that has become a god?" Little Witch was immediately confused.

"There are people beyond people, mountains beyond mountains! Perhaps it's a stronger hand of divine movement." Ye Liuyun was just guessing. He walked while using Divine Sense to search for the strong ones.

At that moment, he suddenly caught a Dong Tian Realm fluctuation, went over, and saw it was Elder Two's residence.

Elder Two was giving orders in the courtyard, seeming to be taking some subordinates out; Ye Liuyun immediately stopped and waited for him briefly.

Soon, Elder Two led his men out of the courtyard and brushed past Ye Liuyun.

"Elder Two, hello!" Ye Liuyun respectfully greeted.

"Third Young Master, I just heard you caused trouble again? And were detained by the Royal Mansion?" Elder Two asked with a face of schadenfreude.

He was contesting the guardianship of the Dragon Pearl with Jiang Lan's father; although he wouldn't act against that useless person, teasing him a bit was still rather entertaining.

"It's Wang Wenli making a big fuss over nothing; it has nothing to do with me!" Ye Liuyun mimicked Jiang Lan's tone and explained.

"Is that so! I thought that divine child didn't even regard our Jiang family. If he bothers you again, tell me, and I'll go avenge you!"

Elder Two deliberately provoked, hoping Jiang Lan the useless one would provoke the Royal Mansion, giving him a lever to attack the family head.

However, suddenly he seemed to feel some energy spilling out of his body, but upon close inspection, nothing appeared to have diminished.

"What's going on?"

He keenly noticed a flash of light in the black cat's eyes.

"Could this black cat have some X‑ray ability?" he muttered to himself. Yet he felt no effect on himself, so he didn't act.

"Good, with Elder Two backing me, I'll make him look good next time!" Ye Liuyun also said in agreement.

Inside, he snarked: "Is Jiang Lan a fool? He couldn't even see this kind of trap before."

Elder Two nodded satisfactorily: "Good, worthy of our Jiang family's descendants, full of ambition. Go have fun; I have some matters, so I won't chat with you!"

"Elder Two, take care!" Jiang Lan bowed and left, then hurried toward the training ground.

After Elder Two had walked away, he instructed a subordinate: "Go investigate the origin of the black cat in that kid's hand; why does that black cat feel strange to me?"

"Yes."

The servant replied affirmatively and immediately headed toward the family head's residence.

"Done yet?" Ye Liuyun transmitted a voice to Little Witch at that moment.

"All done! If I don't use my own eyes to cast the spell, it takes a bit more time. It's about the same as just now. In the future, give me enough of that time, and the misfortune curse can disperse their luck."

"That old guy won't live more than two days; he'll have no luck left. If he goes out to fight, he'll die even faster!"

"Alright! It's just a few sentences' worth of time, should be no problem." Ye Liuyun immediately agreed.

Not long after, they appeared at the training ground.

"Second brother!" Ye

Ye Liuyun shouted from afar at a middle‑aged man who was directing the disciples in paired training.

"Jiang Lan, why did you run to the training ground?"

The middle‑aged man who spoke stepped forward; he was Jiang Lan's second brother, Jiang Yuan.

His reputation within the family was far better than Jiang Lan's, and in cultivation he was also far more diligent, already becoming a role model for the Jiang family's young disciples.

Jiang Yuan went to the training ground every afternoon to guide the disciples' cultivation. Seeing Jiang Lan arrive today, he found it odd, because Jiang Lan almost never comes to the training ground.

Jiang Lan's realm was built up by resources; his real combat power was poor, and he wouldn't even dare to spar with peers.

"Father won't let me go out, so I have nothing to do, I came to watch your paired practice," Ye Liuyun said casually.

"Alright, just watch from the side, don't get too close! I'll keep you company after I'm done here." Jiang Yuan glanced at the black cat in his arms, thinking it was a toy he'd found, so he didn't mind.

"You mind your own business, no need to compensate me; maybe I'll get bored later and leave first!" Jiang Lan said, then moved to a side, sat down holding the black cat.

"The Jiang family's foundation is indeed solid; among the disciples many have Dong Tian realms. Jiang Lan's second brother even has a Third Stage of Dong Tian, truly far stronger than ordinary families."

Ye Liuyun observed the Jiang family disciples while having Little Witch cast misfortune curses on all disciples with Dong Tian realms.

To avoid detection, Little Witch performed the curses covertly, though it took longer; fortunately, sitting on the side made it hard for others to notice.

Some sensitive people glanced this way, but none noticed anything unusual.

After Ye Liuyun and Little Witch finished the spell, they didn't linger; Ye Liuyun told Jiang Yuan he had other business and left immediately, lest any misfortune later involve him.

Sure enough, before he got far, he heard a scream from the training ground, probably a unlucky soul who slipped and killed someone during a duel.

Ye Liuyun's mouth twitched upward, he sped away toward the positions of several other strong ones.

"Uncle Chang, what are you busy with?"

"Brother Geng, have your realms advanced recently?"

"Elder Uncle…"

Jiang Lan spent the afternoon running around the family; his strength among peers was lacking, but he was smooth‑talking and popular, able to converse with some strong ones, so that afternoon many Martial Cultivator fortunes of the Jiang family were siphoned off.

"Only a third in half a day, many still haven't been encountered!"

Ye Liuyun didn't return to his quarters until dinner time. After returning, his bodyguard told him Elder Two was dead, and now those big figures had gathered in the council Grand Hall.

"Opportunity has arrived!" Ye Liuyun immediately grabbed Little Witch and rushed over.

At that moment, the family head, chief steward, elders and several stewards were gathered inside the Jiang family's council Grand Hall, where Elder Two's corpse lay.

They had just learned that Elder Two had gone out to negotiate business, but not only failed, he got into a fight, was severely wounded, and died before he could make it back to the Jiang family.
