155. Chapter 155: Expedition

"Do you still remember your former enemies?"

"Of course I remember—even if turned to ash, I'd remember."

The woman in red wore full hatred, her yin energy churning violently.

"Good."

Luo Yao nodded, "If the chance arises, I'll take you to seek revenge."

These Blood Demon Sect people are all demonic cultivators who have harmed many innocents; her striking at them is justice served.

But if you have a target, there's no rush now.

After leaving Taixu Sect, Luo Yao disguised her face instead of showing her true one; though her master had warned the entire Immortal Cultivation World, some would still risk everything.

After emerging from her seclusion, Luo Yao received a message from Fang Qingyan: she had broken through to Foundation Establishment and had already set out for Taixu Sect to find her.

The next instant, she appeared dozens of meters outside the main gate.

She had wanted to show Fang Qingyan around the sect, but since the Cave Abode had been discovered, they had to hurry there—she could only visit Taixu Sect another time.

Closing her eyes and sinking into her consciousness, Luo Yao began studying this Supernatural Ability.

After her injuries healed, she departed.

So naturally, they wouldn't let Luo Yao become a flower kept in a greenhouse.

Who knew it failed—Liu Yizhou had no choice but to send his Foundation Establishment subordinates into action.

"Normal flight takes over ten seconds, but with Shrinking Ground to Inch, it's only about three breaths."

Now she possessed two Supernatural Abilities: one was Body Incarnation Technique.

But back then, her strength was insufficient; though the outer Array of the Cave Abode could be entered, the inner layers required Foundation Establishment or higher cultivation to access.

"Lan Jie?"

After some time passed, Luo Yao finally emerged from her seclusion.

The Palace Master of Star Palace and the Great Elder had a mediocre relationship; originally, they had competed for the position of Palace Master, and the Great Elder lost.

Liu Yizhou was overjoyed and immediately summoned his subordinates.

Nevertheless, before Luo Yao left, they still prepared many fine items for her.

But she also knew Yunhua Xianzi and Xi Lan had cared for Fang Qingyan.

The three hurried toward the Cave Abode Fang Qingyan had mentioned.

So as soon as she broke through to Foundation Establishment, Fang Qingyan thought of that Cave Abode and immediately wanted to go with Xiao Yao.

The Palace Master of Star Palace naturally had to give an explanation.

Actually, her master had given her several Supernatural Abilities, but she couldn't learn them.

Then she recalled how Fang Qingyan had vanished from her Foundation Establishment subordinates—first, to seek revenge, since it had caused her grandfather to scold him; second, to see if Fang Qingyan had any secrets.

Thus, when Luo Yao traveled the Immortal Cultivation World, she could avoid many hostile people targeting her.

Though slightly contradictory, most situations remained united against outsiders.

After all, he knew Fang Qingyan was at Moon Gazing Pavilion, so he couldn't act—only go to the place where Fang Qingyan had vanished to investigate.

But her Great Master didn't know she possessed ten-thousand-year-old milk, hence why her Spirit Power restored instantly—this weakness had already been compensated.

Moreover, he believed a Foundation Establishment cultivator could handle Fang Qingyan.

When she was being hunted by Star Palace, she accidentally entered that Cave Abode and escaped pursuit; without it, she would have been killed by Star Palace long ago.

This good news delighted Luo Yao, and Fang Qingyan also said she had found an Guxiushi Cave Abode and planned to explore it with Luo Yao.

But she soon learned that the pursuit of Fang Qingyan wasn't the will of the entire Star Palace, nor even its high leadership.

Liu Yizhou himself was only Foundation Establishment, and he could command only a few Foundation Establishment cultivators because he was the Great Elder's grandson.

Cough—failed breakthrough.

The one pursuing Fang Qingyan was Liu Yizhou; after learning of her disturbances, he felt humiliated and sent his subordinates to hunt her.

Luo Yao naturally didn't mind, though she was slightly surprised—after all, Xi Lan, as Yunhua Xianzi's only direct disciple, should be very busy.

She put away the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and began practicing Shrinking Ground to Inch.

Sure enough, her subordinates reported: there was a Cave Abode there.

Unfortunately, this Supernatural Ability consumed enormous Spirit Power; in just a moment, it drained most of hers—no wonder her Great Master warned her to wait until Foundation Establishment Late Stage to use it; now she was only laying the groundwork.

Liu Yizhou mobilized private forces, so the cultivators who pursued Fang Qingyan were mostly low-level.

Luo Yao hadn't expected Lan Jie to be there; Fang Qingyan explained, "Star Palace also discovered that Cave Abode, so I worried we couldn't handle it—I asked Lan Jie to come along."

She planned to seek other suitable Spells and Supernatural Abilities.

Logically, if they suspected a Secret Realm or something similar, they should have searched long ago—not only recently.

Yunhua Xianzi rescued Fang Qingyan, learned of her story, and sent a message to the Palace Master of Star Palace.

Liu Yizhou—a mere Qi Condensation cultivator—wasn't worth their attention.

But after inquiring, she discovered many Star Palace cultivators had appeared in that region—among them, some of those who had once hunted her.

The second was Shrinking Ground to Inch.

But she was still discovered by Star Palace cultivators; cornered, she was rescued by Yunhua Xianzi.

So he sent people to investigate the place where Fang Qingyan had vanished.

But this time, Liu Yizhou's incident had become too large, especially since it was questioned by Yunhua Xianzi, a sect leader among the Ten Great Immortal Sects.

They still failed. Fang Qingyan, relying on Pills and numerous Dharma Treasures, evaded pursuit for an entire day and night despite being chased by Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Then she vanished without a trace.

Moreover, when she previously attacked the Blood Demon Sect, it wasn't just to avenge Luo Yao—it was to tell the world: anyone who dares touch my disciple, Zi Qianxue's, will die.

Zi Qianxue didn't refuse; though Pingzhou's Immortal Cultivation World was now turbulent and perilous, which cultivator hasn't faced crisis? Who didn't walk out of blood and storm?

During that time, Fang Qingyan hid inside the Guxiushi Cave Abode.

Of course, although she could not learn the Supernatural Ability, she learned several Spells taught by her master.

Then, her figure flickered, and in an instant she appeared at the foot of the mountain from the mid-slope.

Of course, publicly they announced that Liu Yizhou had been punished with five years of house arrest, but in truth, the Great Elder of Star Palace had ordered his grandson to enter seclusion to cultivate, intending for him to break through.

After Liu Yizhou emerged from seclusion, he planned to seek opportunities.

……

Her speed increased by about double.

Those few were Ice-element Supernatural Abilities, but after she tried learning them, she found she could not enter the threshold no matter what, so she had to give up.

Now, she was not certain whether she could learn Shrinking Ground to Inch.

The Healing Pill goes without saying, along with the Defense Magical Treasure and other life-saving items.

However, his grandfather—the Great Elder of Star Palace—after learning of this, assigned him a Golden Core Peak Stage cultivator as a bodyguard.

After all, they all knew about the incidents where disciples from major sects had been harmed, and naturally feared for their own grandson's safety.

Their own grandson carried treasures; even Golden Core Stage cultivators might not be able to harm him.

With an additional Golden Core Peak Stage bodyguard, he could escape even from Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.
