Long Yu did not know that the reinforcements from the Thundercloud Fortress had caught up so quickly.
He supported the old man, Pine Crane, and flew toward the west. In just two to four hours, they had flown a thousand miles and saw the small city that Pine Crane had mentioned.
"Xi Yangwu, the little girl is in this city."
Long Yu glanced at the small city and felt that it was not too small. It was at least as big as the imperial city of the Tang Empire. However, a city of this level was indeed considered small in the Beihai Kingdom.
"She is in this city. A few months ago, I placed Xiao Wu in the care of an ordinary martial arts practitioner family in the east of the city."
Pine Crane pointed to the east of the city.
"I'll go now."
Long Yu nodded and then quickly flew toward the east of the city.
The arrival of a Celestial Mystery Realm warrior in this small city immediately attracted the attention of all the martial arts practitioners in the city. In this kind of small border city, Celestial Mystery Realm warriors were not so common.
The City Lord was only a martial arts practitioner in the Rank Nine True Spirit Realm.
The appearance of Long Yu naturally attracted the attention of many people, but very quickly, his figure disappeared from the night sky, like a jet black meteor that suddenly streaked across the sky.
After using the Dragon Sparrow Instant Teleportation, Long Yu directly landed in a residential area in the east of the city and stopped at the door of the martial arts practitioner family that Pine Crane had mentioned.
The aura of a Celestial Mystery Realm warrior immediately alerted the people nearby.
"It would be great if there was a secret skill to hide one's aura. Otherwise, after entering the Celestial Mystery Realm, people will find me wherever I go. It's really too troublesome."
Long Yu thought to himself.
However, this time, the Dragon Seal of the Nine Underworlds did not heat up. Obviously, the Dragon Seal of the Nine Underworlds did not have such a secret skill.
Of course, this did not mean that this secret skill was very advanced. It was so rare that even the Dragon Seal of the Nine Underworlds did not have it. It was also possible that this secret skill was not qualified to be recorded by the Dragon Seal of the Nine Underworlds.
After all, the secret skills that the Dragon Seal of the Nine Underworlds had taught Long Yu in the past, including the Spirit-Seeking Technique and the secret skill to hide the Spiritual Qi of natural treasures, were all secret skills that did not appear in the Heavenly Mandate Continent.
The secret technique to hide one's aura might exist on the Heavenly Mandate Continent.
"The next time I see Wang Changfeng, I'll have to ask him if he has such a secret technique …"
Long Yu thought.
He raised his head and saw that the door in front of him had been opened from the inside. Then, a flattering middle-aged man appeared in front of him.
"Big Brother, may I ask what orders you have for me?"
The middle-aged man asked with a respectful and cautious expression.
For him, the experts of the Sky People Mystery Realm were big shots that he had only seen a few times in his life. Now, one had descended from the sky and was standing in front of his house. This made him feel a sense of fear.
He was afraid that if this person had any ill intentions towards him, then he would be killed in the blink of an eye, and no one would avenge him!
Long Yu looked at this person and found that he was a Martial Cultivator at the 3rd layer of the True Spirit Secret Realm. From his eyes, he could tell that this person no longer had the will to progress further on the path of Martial Dao.
To him, the bottleneck of the Rank Four True Spirit was too difficult to break through. He could only settle down and peacefully start a family here, living a peaceful life.
"Where is the little girl you adopted?"
Long Yu frowned and asked.
The reason why he frowned was because he heard a middle-aged woman's scolding voice coming from the courtyard behind the door.
"I told you to take care of our family's Little Zhi, why are you running to the door?"
The middle-aged woman's voice was incomparably sharp, causing people to feel disgusted just by hearing it.
At the same time, another boy's voice faintly sounded out, "Little girl, little girl, come and massage my shoulders … What are you shy about? When I grow up, you'll be my wife …"
Completely different from these two voices, a young girl's voice sounded out, "My grandfather is here, I want to see him."
This young girl's voice belonged to Xi Yangwu!
"Get out of the way."
Hearing these words, Long Yu could not be bothered to waste any more words with the middle-aged Martial Cultivator in front of him. He kicked open the door and barged in.
At this time, the middle-aged Martial Cultivator finally saw Sunset Crane Song who was behind Long Yu. He was immediately stunned on the spot, and his expression changed greatly.
He immediately turned around and knelt down in front of Long Yu. He kowtowed and stammered: "Big brother, big brother, please be magnanimous and forgive us. We were also forced to do so …"
Long Yu ignored him and walked straight through the courtyard to the backyard. He immediately saw the young girl dressed in grey clothes, Xi Yangwu.
After two years, this little girl had grown slim and graceful, and her figure was a little more plump than before. However, her eyes were filled with fatigue.
"Xiao Wu."
Long Yu looked at Xi Yangwu's situation and couldn't help but frown.
Because he saw with a glance that not far away, a middle-aged woman wearing luxurious brocade clothes was leading a seven or eight year old boy, chasing after him.
"What's going on?"
Long Yu asked Xi Yangwu directly.
"Big brother Long, you're here."
Xi Yangwu was instantly overjoyed to see Long Yu. Seeing Sunset Crane Song behind Long Yu, she couldn't help but show a joyful expression: "Big brother Long, was it you who saved Grandpa? What happened to Grandpa's hand? "
Her face was slightly pale, and she immediately saw Sunset Crane Song's empty sleeves.
"It's fine. Your Big brother Long is here. We can leave this place and find another place to stay."
Sunset Crane Song looked at Xi Yangwu's current appearance and felt a pang of heartache.
It seemed that Xi Yangwu's life after being fostered in this Martial Cultivator family was not good, and she was even bullied by the family of three!
With just a few words, Sunset Dance summarized her life here for the past few months.
Because Sunset Crane Song had left behind hundreds of Crystal Cores, it was definitely an unimaginable amount to an ordinary Martial Cultivator. He had already guessed that he would be caught by the Xi family and would not have a chance to use these Crystal Cores.
Therefore, he divided all his assets into two portions, one placed in a storage belt and gave it to Xi Yangwu, and the other to the Martial Cultivator family that had adopted Xi Yangwu as a reward.
With these Crystal Cores, the husband and wife did not spend extravagantly, but they became very concerned about their son who was only seven or eight years old.
As they were afraid that others would find out about their wealth, they would secretly go out to buy some precious elixirs and Inner Cores every once in a while for their son to consume. Unexpectedly, their son had stepped into the Seventh Stage Martial Path in a short month!
From then on, they felt that their son would have a bright future. After all, they were rich!
Moreover, they had more or less guessed that since Sunset Crane Song had entrusted Xi Yangwu to them, he would most likely not return. Thus, they began to have ideas about Xi Yangwu.
First, the storage belt that Sunset Crane Song had left for Xi Yangwu had been forcibly taken away by the middle-aged man. He had said that he was going to buy some cultivation elixirs for her, but in fact, the elixirs he had bought were all for his son to consume.
Secondly, they had seen that Xi Yangwu was beautiful and had a talent in alchemy, so they had forcefully decided to betroth Xi Yangwu to their son as a concubine.
The reason why she was a concubine was because their son would eventually have great achievements in the Martial Path. It was Xi Yangwu's good fortune to be his concubine!
One could imagine how tough Xi Yangwu's life had been in the past few months.
In Long Yu's memory, although Xi Yangwu was a little over fourteen years old, she had never left the Passionless Mountain Range and did not know much about the ways of the world.
Now, Xi Yangwu was a little over sixteen years old. The little girl was slender and elegant. She had learned a lot in the past few months!
"Xiao Wu's cultivation?"
Long Yu frowned slightly.
"She was injured by an enemy a few months ago. I tried my best but could only save her life. That's why I placed her here. I didn't expect that …"
Sunset Crane Song's face darkened.
He had never expected that this family would treat his granddaughter this way after he placed her here and left so many crystal cores and money for them!
There was nothing more sinister than this.
"You're worse than pigs and dogs."
Long Yu looked coldly at the middle-aged couple. As for the boy, he was still young. The boy could not be blamed for what had happened.
"Spare us, Big Brother. We were wrong!"
The middle-aged man continuously kowtowed towards Long Yu, to the point that blood splashed out: "Big brother, if you want to kill, then kill me. Let my wife and my son go. They only became like this because they listened to me!"
The middle-aged man knew that Long Yu would not let him go. Therefore, he had taken the initiative to beg for death in order to protect his wife and son.
"There's no need. Hand over the storage belt. From today onwards, we will not have the chance to meet again."
Long Yu glanced at the family of three and said calmly.
The middle-aged man was stunned by his words. He was overjoyed. "Big Brother, thank you, Big Brother. I'm worse than pigs and dogs. Thank you for your mercy. Xiao Zhi, wife, why aren't you kneeling and thanking this Big Brother for not killing you?"
The middle-aged man had roamed the Jianghu for many years. Therefore, he knew the rules of martial arts.
Even if they were nice to Xi Yangwu, they still had to be respectful when facing an expert of the Heavenly Mystical Realm, not to mention how they had treated Xi Yangwu. Otherwise, they would be killed in one move if they were in a bad mood!
"I'll go get the storage belt."
The middle-aged woman was frightened by the aura of the Heavenly Mystical Realm. She ignored her husband's words and dragged her son into the house.
Soon, the woman came out alone. She was holding the storage belt that Xi Hesong had given to Xi Yangwu.
"Alright, let's go."
The storage belt was quite valuable. At least, some of Long Yu's friends did not have one. He could not let it go to waste. Moreover, there were still a few hundred Crystal Cores in the storage belt. This made Long Yu feel better.
Long Yu held Xi Yangwu's hand and left the yard.
Xi Hesong hesitated, but he obeyed Long Yu and followed.
"Little Dragon, if you don't make a move, this old man will!"
Killing intent flickered in Xi Hesong's eyes.
"Killing one's wife and child is worse than pigs and dogs. Just like how they treated Xiao Wu … Although they didn't treat Xiao Wu well, we don't have to do it ourselves."
Long Yu smiled, "As long as we spread the news that the family has a few hundred Crystal Nuclei, what do you think will happen, Elder Xi?"
Xi Hesong's expression turned solemn.
"Kid, you're quite the treacherous one!"
Xi Hesong guffawed.
"I was forced to do it. I don't think the Xi family will let this go so easily. We can't stay here for long. It'll be bad if we cause trouble by killing them. "
Long Yu narrowed his eyes.
