Su Yu and Lou Yi, both come from Jin City's Seeking Immortality Hall.

Their relationship used to be quite good.

Lou Yi pointed out his cultivation techniques many times, even giving him Purifying God Pills to aid in sensing Spiritual Qi.

But Su Yu not only showed no gratitude, but also became insatiable, demanding Lou Yi to give him a better-positioned cave for cultivation.

After being rejected, he harbored resentment, a perfect example of a farmer and snake.

Unfortunately, he never sensed Spiritual Qi and was expelled from the sect.

Lou Yi thought they would never meet again in this lifetime, but unexpectedly encountered him here.

Seeing his cautious demeanor, Lou Yi instinctively activated the Yellow Extreme Breathing Technique.

A strand of purple-red True Strength plunges into his eyes, transforming the world before him into a gray void, with many red-yellow figures walking around.

Ahead, Su Yu's body emanates a deep red light, much stronger than ordinary people.

Judging from his walking posture and breathing rhythm, Lou Yi confirms he hasn't practiced martial arts.

So, he must have embarked on the path of cultivation. After all, cultivation also strengthens the body, just not as obviously as martial arts.

With nothing to do, Lou Yi uses his Disguise Talent, following Su Yu quietly to see his intentions.

Su Yu is extremely cautious, frequently looking back.

Occasionally, a strand of aura leaks, finally caught by Lou Yi.

'Qi Cultivation Fifth Level, or Qi Cultivation Sixth Level? How is this possible!'

Discovering Su Yu's true cultivation level shocks Lou Yi.

It's known Su Yu was unable to sense Spiritual Qi and couldn't even enter the Corpse-Driving Sect as an outer disciple.

His aptitude was among the lowest of Spirit Root cultivators.

Yet his current cultivation level surpasses that of his peer You Qingyi, reaching the peak of Qi Cultivation Middle Stage.

Thus, there is only one possibility: he has become an evil cultivator.

The evil cultivator organizations within Zhao Kingdom seem to belong only to the Yellow Springs lineage.

Lou Yi had killed many evil cultivators from Yellow Springs, harboring past grudges.

Thinking of this, Lou Yi continues to tail Su Yu, arriving at a secluded courtyard.

Seeing Su Yu enter the courtyard, Lou Yi's eyes flash, not following inside.

He stands in the shadow of a large tree outside the courtyard, activating his Disguise Talent.

Something magical happens.

On the small path outside the courtyard, people occasionally pass by.

Yet they seem oblivious to Lou Yi hidden in the shadow.

As time passes, Lou Yi's form becomes increasingly blurred, almost merging with the shadow.

Disguise (Passive): The longer you stay in a certain environment, the easier it is to blend into that environment.

While activating his Disguise Talent, Lou Yi also opens his ears, carefully collecting all sorts of sounds coming from the courtyard.

"Why did you just come back?"

"Protector Sun, I went out to buy some food. See if there's anything you fancy?"

"Ha, Su Yu is quite on the ball, no wonder Protector Sun favors him greatly."

"Hahaha!"

People inside the courtyard are apparently acquaintances, chatting casually without useful information.

Lou Yi is in no rush, quietly waiting.

Every voice, every footstep enters Lou Yi's ears, forming a detailed 3D map in his mind.

Su Yu's whereabouts, conversations, and the courtyard's structure become crystal clear to Lou Yi, as if he saw it firsthand.

Several hours later.

"Is everything ready? This mission concerns the reputation of our Yellow Springs!"

Lou Yi's spirits lift, the main event is here.

"The Patriarch of the Gu family is truly ignorant! Our Sect Hierarch wants to win him over, offering him an elder position and abundant resources for breakthroughs, yet he dares to refuse!"

"It's simply because He City is too close to the Corpse-Driving Sect; the old guy fears repercussions."

"Hmph, moving important family members resolves that fear; wanting benefits without taking risks, impossible!"

This time, we must teach them a harsh lesson, or else others won't heed Yellow Springs in the future!"

"Heh, their Gu family's foundation lies in the Qinglong Villa auction. If we ruin it for them, half of the Gu family is finished..."

After listening for quite a while, Lou Yi gradually understands the true intent of the Yellow Springs organization.

It turns out that the Patriarch of the Gu family rejected the Yellow Springs Sect Hierarch's attempt to recruit him, so Yellow Springs sought revenge.

The most important industry of the Gu family is the Green Dragon Manor auction.

If Yellow Springs causes trouble at the auction, ruining the event they've prepared for so long, and kills more people.

The reputation of the Gu family will certainly suffer a major blow, and in the future, few people will dare to attend their auctions…

'This seems like an opportunity.' Lou Yi thought to himself.

His original plan was to sneak into the Green Dragon Manor's heartland, using his Disguise Talent to see if there was a chance to directly steal the Wind Riding Fruit.

However, judging from the chats of Yellow Springs' evil cultivators, Green Dragon Manor is the foundation of the Gu family, with a lot of Arrays set up inside.

Lou Yi had just realized the power of the Array Plate he carried with him, and he was unwilling to take the risk.

'The more chaotic the situation, the better, so I have the chance to take chestnuts out of the fire.'

A vague plan formed in Lou Yi's mind, so he continued to stand silently in place, waiting for an opportunity.

People occasionally entered and exited the courtyard, but none were whom he was waiting for.

Several hours later, a familiar shadow emerged from the courtyard.

"Damned! At night suddenly wants to drink to entertain, and even asks me to go out and buy." Su Yu cursed, his face very gloomy.

Seeing Su Yu come out, Lou Yi stepped out of the shadows and followed him along.

Walking to a deserted alley.

'Whiz!'

Lou Yi suddenly struck, flashing in front of Su Yu like a lightning bolt, and punched him hard in the neck!

'Snap!'

Su Yu's eyes went dark, about to fall, but the Spiritual Power in his body seemed to automatically protect its master and was about to erupt suddenly.

However, Lou Yi couldn't allow such a thing to happen.

Two fingers quickly pressed several pressure points on Su Yu's body, completely suppressing his Spiritual Power.

At the same time, True Strength entered his body to seal it off, ensuring that Spiritual Power would not take effect for several days.

Before long, a completely naked pale body was tied up and thrown into the underground gutter.

To be safe, Lou Yi not only infused a lot of True Strength into Su Yu's body but also attached several Suppressing Soul Talismans, each capable of preventing a cultivator at Qi Cultivation Middle Stage from easily waking up.

Actually, killing him would be the easiest.

But first, Lou Yi had no bitter enmity with Su Yu, and second, he vaguely had an idea of laying down a chess piece, so he didn't do it.

At this moment, Lou Yi's appearance was fair-skinned, tall, thin, and had a somber gaze.

Having spent considerable time with Su Yu, and understanding his mannerisms, habits, and personality, he could almost achieve a genuine impersonation.

Even Su Yu's parents would find it hard to recognize him.

He walked into a liquor store, casually bought a few jars of yellow wine, and then retraced his route back to the small courtyard he hadn't entered before.

Just as he stepped through the courtyard gate, two gray-clad men with icy expressions greeted him, each at the Qi Cultivation Third Level.

"Password."

"Body crossing Yellow Springs, demonstrating my great path…" Lou Yi quickly recited a series of secret phrases, then rudely pushed the two aside, "Get lost, don't you recognize me? Next time, be careful or I'll flay you alive!"

"Cough cough, it's duty, please forgive us, Master Su." The two immediately showed a flattering expression and hurriedly stepped back.

Lou Yi secretly congratulated himself.

Luckily, he had listened long enough outside, hearing all their passwords, or he would have revealed himself.

Following Su Yu's previous route, he entered an inner chamber.

Upon opening the door, he found two male cultivators waiting for him.

A strangely positioned bed was placed in the middle of the room, squeezing the usual furniture aside, indicating it had just been taken out from a Storage Bag.

One wore a black robe, appeared about fifty years old, had a big nose and small eyes, and could be described as ugly.

But the aura emanating from him couldn't be underestimated by Lou Yi; he was at the Peak of Qi Cultivation, presumably the protector Sun mentioned by Su Yu.

The other was a young man in his twenties, with a fair complexion, powdered face, and red lips, which left Lou Yi momentarily stunned.

Sun protector let out a lewd laugh: "Did you get the wine? I can't wait any longer!"

After speaking, he untied his black robe, revealing loose, dark fat.

"Brother Su, today the two of us must serve Sun protector well." The powder-faced youth let out a 'coquettish' laugh, twisting his supple body like a seductive snake, hastily pressing against Sun protector.

"I! @#￥%..."

Lou Yi was utterly dumbfounded, do these evil cultivators of Yellow Springs indulge so freely?
