Less than a quarter of an hour after Yang Li and Black parted ways, a young man and two old men arrived outside the city.
The young man was wearing a green robe with a purple-gold "Wind" character embroidered on his chest. His hair was a little slanted, and he had an evil smile on his face. His eyes were filled with a playful smile and a sense of casualness. Although he was handsome, he gave people the feeling that he was a spoiled brat.
The two old men behind him were wearing purple robes with a silver "Wind" character embroidered on their chests. Their faces were expressionless, and there was a flash of light in their eyes from time to time. People couldn't help but feel a sense of fear when they looked at them. The two looked exactly the same, even the wrinkles were basically the same.
"Huh? So that kid in the Golden Stair Box also had a helper. He got rid of that old dog so quickly. " The young man felt the fluctuation of spirit power outside the city and smiled evilly. Judging from the voice, it was the young man in the Sky Box.
"Then are we still going to chase that kid? Young Master Wuhen. "The old man on the left asked.
"No, we'll meet again if we're fated. Let's go to Fiery Mist City first." Traceless Wind said casually.
The two old men stopped talking and followed Traceless Wind to Fiery Mist City slowly. They didn't know that fate was so wonderful. Their destination was actually the same as Yang Li's.
…
"Is this Fiery Mist City? Why does a medium-sized city look more magnificent than a big city? "Yang Li looked at the Fiery Mist City in front of him and couldn't help but wonder.
The guards at the gate of Autumn Moon City were only at Level 5 Qi Condensation Stage, but the guards of Fiery Mist City were all at Level 7 Qi Condensation Stage. They were actually two levels higher.
Moreover, the gate of Fiery Mist City was built very grandly. On the pavilion at the top of the gate, there was a lifelike five-clawed golden dragon. Although it was only made of stone, the dragon's eyes were carved with a special technique. Together with the array, it gave people a sense of oppression.
From time to time, the array formation on the city wall would flash with a gentle light, and the aura that leaked out was also extremely terrifying. If there were any reckless demonic beasts or enemies that attacked, they might directly die.
Since separating from Black One, Yang Li went straight to Fire Mist City. According to Yu Qiong, he had stayed in Fire Mist City for several years when he was young and had a lover. Unfortunately, his lover was a mortal and could not be brought back to the sect.
Later on, Yu Qiong was captured by Yu Tianhua and brought back to the sect. He was forced to cultivate and was restricted by Yu Tianhua. He was not allowed to leave the sect until he broke through to the Harmonious God Realm. However, nearly thirty years had passed since then.
Although Yu Qiong was extremely worried, he did not dare to step into Fire Mist City. He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and cause a disaster in Fire Mist City if he knew that his lover was dead or married.
On this trip, when Yang Li went down the mountain to gain experience, Yu Qiong naturally told him directly what was on his mind and asked him to investigate on his behalf. In this way, even if something happened, there would be someone to control him.
After entering the city, Yang Li looked at the cultivators in the city and could not help but murmur, "It's very lively, and there are many cultivators. This is a little strange."
After entering the city, Yang Li looked at the cultivators in the city and could not help but murmur.
Yu Mansion was a big mansion in Fire Mist City. The Yu Family's Patriarch, Yu Gunian, was very business-minded. In just a dozen years, his family's Chamber of Commerce had become one of the best in the Southern Fire Region.
Because Yu Gunian did not have any cultivation, he was naturally very concerned about the safety of himself and his family. He set up Fire Mist City to be impregnable and hired three or four Harmonious God Realm cultivators.
Recently, Yu Gunian was extremely happy because the Southern Fire Feng Clan's Young Master, Traceless Feng, had taken a fancy to his daughter.
The Feng Clan was a smithing clan that was comparable to the Yi Clan, but it did not belong to any faction. The two great sects and the four sects had tried to rope in the Feng Clan, but the Feng Clan made it clear that they would not coexist peacefully with the Yi Clan. Only one of the two clans could have a foothold in the Southern Fire Region!
However, the Feng Clan felt that the four sects did not have any Half-Law Realm cultivators and looked down on the four sects. The two great sects did not dare to act rashly because the Feng Clan was the same as the Yi Clan. They both had a powerful backer.
If other factions dared to intervene, they would be immediately warned or even eliminated by the faction behind them, which was rather interesting.
The Yu Clan was naturally delighted to be able to climb up to the Feng Clan. Due to Yu Gunian's identity, the Feng Clan would definitely send people to protect the Yu Clan's faction and merchant association. However, the Yu Clan would also have to give some benefits to the Feng Clan.
However, it did not matter. With a powerful backer like the Feng Clan, the Yu Clan would naturally develop even more rapidly. They could even enter the entire Southern Region through the Feng Clan. Giving and receiving were about the same.
Yang Li walked to the location that Yu Qiong mentioned and saw the words' Yu Residence 'hanging on it. He had some guesses in his heart and walked to a nearby teahouse to ask.
"Boss, is there a girl named Gu Liu in this Yu Clan?"
The teahouse owner heard Yang Li's question and looked at him. "Young man, is this your first time coming to Fire Mist City?"
"Yes." Yang Li nodded.
"Then it's no wonder that you don't know. This Yu Clan is too famous in our Fire Mist City. The Clan Head, Yu Gunian's mother is the Gu Liu that you mentioned."
The boss then told Yang Li about the Yu Clan's history in detail. In the end, he seemed to be a little uncertain. "I heard that Gu Liu once asked who his father was. Gu Liu only said that his father was a cultivator who died and did not say anything else."
"Although we all guessed that Gu Liu was abandoned, we did not dare to say much. Otherwise, we would definitely not be able to stay in this Fire Mist City."
After listening, Yang Li confirmed his guess in his heart. This Yu Gunian was Yu Qiong's son, and Gu Liu was Yu Qiong's lover.
Then, Yang Li thanked the boss and directly walked towards the Yu Mansion.
There were eight guards at the entrance of the Yu Mansion. Judging from their aura, they were all Blood Tempering Realm cultivators. When the eight of them saw someone walking over, they immediately raised their weapons and said in a serious tone, "Who are you! This is the Yu Mansion, you are not allowed to trespass! "
"I am Li Yue. I am here to visit Clan Head Gu on the orders of my elders. I hope that Brother Guard can make things convenient for me. If Clan Head Gu asks, just say that I am Yu Qiong." Yang Li said in a clear voice.
Li Yue was a fake name that Yang Li gave himself. It was also to match his identity.
When the guards heard Yang Li's words, they looked at him suspiciously. Then, they looked at each other and one of the guards said, "Then wait here for a moment. I will go and inform them."
Although the eight of them didn't really believe what Yang Li said, they still decided to believe him. If it was really the younger generation of Clan Head Gu's old friend who came to visit and was stopped by these people indiscriminately, then a punishment would be unavoidable.
The interior of the Yu Mansion was extremely luxurious. The courtyard where Gu Liu was in was a huge garden with thousands of flowers swaying in the wind. In the middle of the garden was a large pavilion, enough for ten people to sit inside.
At this time, Gu Liu was sitting in the pavilion in the garden. His eyes were blank, and no one knew what he was thinking.
At this time, a servant girl about fifteen or sixteen years old walked in and said in a sweet voice, "Grandma Gu, someone said that he is here to visit you on the orders of your old friend, Yu Qiong."
"Just say that I am resting and it is not convenient." Gu Liu replied absent-mindedly.
The servant girl was about to leave when Gu Liu suddenly said, "Wait! Cui 'er, say it again! "
Cui 'er looked at Gu Liu and found that Gu Liu was excited and his eyes were full of hope. She hurriedly said, "Someone said that he is here to visit you on the orders of your old friend, Yu Qiong."
When Gu Liu heard the two words Yu Qiong, he was very excited. Then, his eyes became moist and he murmured, "My enemy! After all these years, you've finally thought of me. "
When the servant girl saw Gu Liu like this, she asked cautiously, "Grandma Gu, do you want to see this person?"
"Yes! I want to see who it is! " Gu Liu said decisively. At the same time, she was nervous. She was afraid that it was Yu Qiong's descendants who brought her bad news about Yu Qiong. Although they had not seen each other for many years, she still loved Yu Qiong.
Cui 'er immediately retreated and told the guard to bring Yang Li over. Then, she stood at the door of the courtyard and waited quietly. Gu Liu was a little emotional, and she couldn't help but worry.
Gu Liu was usually very kind and treated the servants very well. From time to time, he would give them some things. Even when the servant girls got married and left, Gu Liu would personally give them gifts.
They usually addressed Gu Liu as' Grandmother '. If it was any other family, they would definitely not allow them to address her like that.
Not long after, the guard brought Yang Li over. Cui 'er waved her hand and let the guard leave. Then, she walked into the courtyard with Yang Li.
Yang Li followed Cui 'er and soon saw a pavilion. An old woman with a head full of white hair was sitting in the pavilion. The old woman was wearing a purple and gold robe. Her robe was embroidered with a phoenix spreading its wings. She gave off a graceful and luxurious feeling.
Although the old woman had a lot of wrinkles on her face and some age spots, her eyes were extremely sharp and bright. From time to time, a trace of excitement and expectation flashed through her eyes. This old woman was Gu Liu.
Yang Li also guessed this. He walked in front of Gu Liu and cupped his hands. He said, "Junior Li Yue greets Senior Gu."
The reason why Yang Li didn't tell Gu Liu his real name was also because he was afraid that the walls had ears. There were all kinds of birds in the forest. The Yu Clan couldn't rule out the possibility of Yi Clan's spies.
Gu Liu looked at Yang Li in front of her and said kindly, "Get up, little fellow. I heard that you came to visit me under Yu Qiong's order? How is Yu Qiong now? "
Although Gu Liu hid it well, Yang Li still heard a trace of eagerness in her words. The servant girl was still next to him. He didn't know whether he should speak or not.
As if seeing this, Gu Liu smiled at the servant girl and said, "Cui 'er, you go out first. This old one will be fine."
When Cui 'er heard Gu Liu's words, her eyes were filled with warning. She stared at Yang Li. However, Yang Li directly ignored her and waited for her to leave.
After seeing Cui 'er leave, Yang Li said, "Yes, Senior Gu. This junior came to visit you under Senior Yu Qiong's order. Senior Yu Qiong is now the hall master of my Tenlan Sect's Pill Hall."
