Luo Yu City was still the same as before. As long as a feather flew past, it would definitely fall from the sky.
Xiao Lingyu came to Luo Yu City again for no other reason than to inquire about the news about Earth. Other than cultivating and protecting himself in the cultivation world, there was something more important that he needed to do. That was, he needed his close friend and girlfriend, Gu Xiaomin.
If he wanted to inquire about something, he naturally had to go to a place with a lot of people. On the Flying Feather Continent, the places with the most people were in the cities. Moreover, the people in the cities came from all directions. Even if the information they could provide was not in-depth enough, the coverage was still wide enough.
Xiao Lingyu also did not know how to inquire about Earth. Therefore, he used the most primitive method. When he saw cultivators who seemed friendly, he would go up and ask them a few questions. He was not angry when they ignored or annoyed him. Instead, he kept smiling. After all, he was the one who was asking for help.
The news of his reappearance in Luo Yu City naturally spread out not long after. Those who wanted to capture him also rushed to Luo Yu City.
Xiao Lingyu was already on guard because he found out that he had actually become a famous person on the Flying Feather Continent. Even though his fame was not very high, he could often hear his name mentioned in the taverns and teahouses in Luo Yu City.
His actions in the treasure vault in the Falling Rock Desert had been spread out in many different versions. However, all the versions said that he had obtained an immortal weapon and that he was just a lucky junior who was only at the Gold Core Realm.
This was only one of the reasons. Everyone already knew that he was being hunted by the Void Inquiry Stage Immortal Sect.
The scariest thing was not these. The Void Inquiry Stage Immortal Sect and the cultivators who had seen his appearance in the treasure vault in the Falling Rock Desert had all imitated his image. His appearance and characteristics were remembered by many cultivators on the Flying Feather Continent. After all, everyone thought that he had obtained an immortal weapon and was not strong enough. Many cultivators had the intention to kill him and snatch his treasures.
Besides, not only could they obtain the immortal weapon after killing him, they could also go to the Void Inquiry Stage Immortal Sect to receive a reward. It was a wonderful thing to kill two birds with one stone.
After being on guard, Xiao Lingyu found a secluded place and adjusted his appearance and temperament. For him who had reached the Chaotic Nascent Soul Realm, this was a very easy thing to do.
After "changing her appearance", Xiao Lingyu once again appeared on the streets of Luoyu City and continued to inquire about Earth.
His strength had greatly improved since the last time he came, which caused the other party to misunderstand him.
Unfortunately, his method, which was almost like looking for a needle in a haystack, did not have the slightest effect. Regardless of whether there was someone in Luoyu City who knew the news about Earth, even if they knew, it would be difficult for him to meet that person. Even if he was lucky enough to meet that person, that person might not necessarily tell him the truth.
Xiao Lingyu realized once again that a single person's power was limited. If he had tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of subordinates, things would be much simpler if he let them search everywhere.
Xiao Lingyu was a little worried that she had not been able to obtain any information. Was she the only one who had been moved to the Feiyu Continent, while the rest of the people on Earth had gone to other places?
If everyone was on a different continent, or if the others didn't even go to the Cultivation World but went to other planets with life, how was he going to find them?
In the vast universe and the infinite starry sky, even if he was at the peak of the Cultivation World, it was impossible for him to carefully search every corner of this world.
Moreover, it had been so long. God knew if his relatives and friends, as well as Gu Xiaomin, had already met with misfortune.
Just as Xiao Lingyu was looking for targets on the streets to continue asking about Earth for two more days with a worried frown, his shoulder suddenly sank. Someone had gently patted him.
Xiao Lingyu turned around and saw a familiar face, and this face was very beautiful.
It was a woman, the woman from the Cloud Gathering House whom Xiao Lingyu had met when he came to Luoyu City last time. She was also the one who made the decision to let the Cloud Gathering House take away Old Demon Wu's demonic armor and demonic sword.
"Miss, are you looking for me?" Xiao Lingyu pretended to be confused and asked. He had changed his appearance, and his cultivation had greatly improved. He did not believe that this woman could still recognize him.
"Hehe, of course I'm looking for you, but this is not the place to talk. Can you come with me to the Cloud Gathering House to serve tea?" The woman smiled and nodded.
"I'm sorry, I'm very busy. I don't have time to chat with you." Xiao Lingyu shook his head and refused. This woman knew some things about him, so Xiao Lingyu did not want to be too entangled with her.
"Brother Xiao, no matter what, we've met once, and even negotiated a not small business deal. How can Brother Xiao turn around and treat me like a stranger?" Although the woman's words were a little bitter, she still looked at Xiao Lingyu with a smile.
"How did you recognize me?" Xiao Lingyu did not pretend anymore, but frowned and asked.
"Brother Xiao, if you want to know, come with me."
The woman smiled sweetly, then turned and walked in the direction of the Cloud Gathering House.
Xiao Lingyu was a little curious, so he only hesitated for a moment before hurrying after her. He wanted to know how he had exposed his identity. This was very important for his safety in the future.
Also, his cultivation level was too low last time, so he could not see through this woman's cultivation level. But this time, he could feel that this woman's cultivation level should be in the middle or late stage of the Body Integration Stage. He was not very afraid of cultivators of this level.
Led by the woman, Xiao Lingyu arrived at a room on the second floor of the Cloud Gathering House.
"Brother Xiao, please take a seat."
"Thank you."
Xiao Lingyu took a seat and scanned the room. He found that there were no other special arrangements except for the defensive restriction at the door, so he was more relieved.
"Now can you tell me how you recognized me?" Xiao Lingyu said impatiently. He also knew that this woman had come to find him because she had other things to say.
"I didn't recognize you by looking at your appearance, but …"
At this point, the woman suddenly paused, smiled slyly, and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about a business first. If the business can be concluded, this can be one of my bargaining chips or one of my rewards."
Sure enough, there was something else. However, Xiao Lingyu did not fall for this woman's trick, nor did he want to go along with this woman's plan. He stood up and said, "If you don't make it clear first, I'll leave. As for cooperating with your Cloud Gathering House, I don't have a strong desire in this regard."
The woman rolled her eyes at Xiao Lingyu and said helplessly, "Okay, okay, okay. I'll talk first. Can you sit down first?"
After Xiao Lingyu sat down again, the woman said, "When you were in the small towns outside the Rockfall Desert, have you been inquiring about a mortal planet called Earth?"
Xiao Lingyu nodded, but he had already thought of something.
"I'm sure Brother Xiao can already guess how I recognized you … You were inquiring about Earth outside the Rockfall Desert, but no one on this planet knows about it. Now that someone is inquiring about it in Luoyu City, I naturally thought it was you," the woman said.
"You know quite a lot of things. I'm guessing there are some servants helping you collect this information, right?" Xiao Lingyu narrowed his eyes and asked curiously.
"There are some servants helping. After all, it's a business of all kinds of treasures. Naturally, they have to be more knowledgeable." The woman nodded calmly.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. The fact that you can make things so clear is enough to show that your intelligence network is very tight and meticulous. The area it covers is also very wide. Your functions are not simple."
Seeing the woman shake her head and a trace of surprise in her expression, Xiao Lingyu continued, "I have no intention of inquiring about your situation, nor do I want to know what thoughts or intentions you have. Seeing that you answered my question, I'm willing to listen to the business you want to discuss with me."
The woman was indeed a little surprised. The origin of the man in front of her was very mysterious. Even Luo Bo could not see through him, and her intelligence network could not find out what this person's background was. However, this person's mind was very meticulous. He was actually able to guess some of her situation with just a few words.
"The business we want to do is for you to help us overturn the Dragon Subduing Valley." The woman stared at Xiao Lingyu and did not seem to be joking.
Hearing this, Xiao Lingyu did not even frown. Instead, he laughed out loud and said, "Miss, you think too highly of me. With my strength, how can I help you overturn a top sect like the Dragon Subduing Valley?"
The woman also smiled and said, "I'm not afraid to tell Brother Xiao the truth. We have been preparing for many years to overturn the Dragon Subduing Valley. Right now, the time is ripe, but we lack an opportunity. You can bring us this opportunity."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details. "Xiao Lingyu replied calmly. However, in his heart, Xiao Lingyu already understood that this Cloud Gathering Treasure House was not an honest merchant force, but an organization with great ambitions. Otherwise, they would not have such a powerful intelligence system.
At the same time, Xiao Lingyu also became slightly more vigilant. The other party dared to tell him such a secret, firstly because they were very confident in their own strength, and secondly because they were not worried that he would leak the secret.
If they weren't worried that he would leak the secret, then there were only two possibilities. Either he would cooperate with them, or they would kill him.
"Right now, everyone is saying that you have an immortal equipment on you, and many cultivators believe this rumor. Even the Dragon Subduing Valley believes it, and they have already sent out many elite experts to search for you. We plan to use you as bait to lure the elite experts of the Dragon Subduing Valley to surround and kill you. We will lie in ambush at the side and kill them all. "The woman said calmly.
"Then, they will send out even more powerful experts. You will then plan to surround and kill them, forcing the Dragon Subduing Valley to go crazy and continuously send out stronger cultivators. However, I'm guessing that your goal is not to overturn the Dragon Subduing Valley, but to sneak into the Dragon Subduing Valley to do something secret. "Xiao Lingyu followed the other party's words and said.
