Myriad City did not enforce a curfew. Warriors did not need to sleep, so be it day or night, Myriad City was always bustling with activity. It was especially so in the core region of Myriad City.
At that moment, a shop in the core region was being renovated and remodeled.
The original signboard had been torn down and thrown to the ground. On the signboard were three words — 'Yun Xin Loft'.
A young man in embroidered robes, carrying a longsword, stepped on the "Yun" character on the plaque and spat on it.
"Move everything out. Keep the useful ones and smash the useless ones," the youth said languidly.
More than ten Myriad Immortal Pavilion disciples had already turned Yun Xin Loft into a mess. All the herbs and Fey bones had been moved away. As for the shop's original decorations, they had been completely destroyed.
They planned on replacing it with a new one, giving the shop a new look.
Yun Xin Loft had now become the Myriad Immortal Pavilion's. And the youth was sent by the Myriad Immortal Pavilion to manage Yun Xin Loft.
In Myriad City, being the chief steward of a shop in the core region was a lucrative job. The yearly commission was unimaginably generous. All this wealth could be converted into cultivation resources, allowing one's cultivation level to improve by leaps and bounds.
Such a good thing would only happen to core disciples. The youth was none other than the Myriad Immortal Pavilion's core disciple — Si Shaoyu.
Ever since Si Yusheng's dantian had been crippled by Yi Yun, his status as the successor to the Myriad Immortal Pavilion was naturally gone. Now, Si Yusheng was in despair. He locked himself in his room daily, refusing to eat or drink. He refused to meet anyone — in fact, Si Yusheng was unlikely to meet anyone even if he wanted to. Humans were pragmatic. When he was in his prime, many people would try to curry favor with Si Yusheng. Now that he was crippled, people abandoned him like a pair of worn-out shoes.
Si Shaoyu was still very happy about this. He had long been envious of Si Yusheng. Now that Si Yusheng was crippled, he, Si Shaoyu, had a chance of becoming the successor to the Myriad Immortal Pavilion!
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Hahaha, Brother Shaoyu, business is booming!"
At that moment, Zhou Baifeng walked over with a smile. Beside him was his mercenary, Zhang Zhiyuan.
Now that Yi Yun was being pursued by the Myriad Immortal Pavilion, Zhou Baifeng was very willing to sit on the sidelines and reap the spoils. He yearned for Yi Yun to be killed by the Myriad Immortal Pavilion.
"It's alright. Although the shop is a little small and remote, it's still passable," Si Shaoyu said indifferently.
"Hahaha." Zhou Baifeng laughed out loud. "Brother Shaoyu, you must be joking. The only places bigger and better than this shop are the Heaven Bestowing Medicinal Clinic and the Medicinal Immortal Pavilion. Now, such a good shop has been given to you by the Myriad Immortal Pavilion. Who knows how much profit you will earn every year. How can the Elders not know that they have tacitly agreed to this? From the looks of it, they want to nurture Brother Shaoyu as the successor to Pavilion Lord."
As Zhou Baifeng spoke, he revealed a meaningful smile. Now that the Myriad Immortal Pavilion's Pavilion Lord successor was vacant, it was unknown how many people were eyeing it. Si Shaoyu indeed had the ability to compete.
Upon hearing Zhou Baifeng's words, Si Shaoyu was rather pleased. He said, "If I can capture Yi Yun, my status as the successor to Pavilion Lord will be secured. But now, there is no news of Yi Yun at all."
Yi Yun was the greatest enemy of the Myriad Immortal Pavilion. Yi Yun's talent was too terrifying. Once he was released, there would be no end to the trouble.
"Speaking of Yi Yun, my goal is the same as Brother Shaoyu's. I detest that little bastard very much. In fact, I have a theory that might be able to lure the little bastard out …"
"Oh? Tell me about it. "Si Shaoyu's interest was piqued.
"Brother Shaoyu, back when Yi Yun fled, I was there too. I noticed that before Yi Yun fled, he glanced at City Lord Qin. It was as though he had transmitted his voice to City Lord Qin. In recent days, City Lord Qin has been searching for something …"
"Oh? What is it? "
"The Soul Returning Root! I'm guessing that the Soul Returning Root is what Yi Yun wants. Why did he have a grudge with Zuoqiu Haoyu? It was because he went to the Heaven Bestowing Medicinal Clinic to buy the Soul Restoring Relic and was made things difficult for by Zuoqiu Haoyu. I've learned of this matter. Back when Yi Yun bought the Soul Restoring Relic, he had borrowed the Myriad Runes from City Lord Qin. Back at the Heaven Bestowing Medicinal Clinic, he endured it again and again. Clearly, he yearned for the Soul Restoring Relic. That little bastard is a person who can't tolerate even a speck of dust in his eye. Why did he act so subserviently? It must be because the Soul Restoring Relic is extremely important to him. Later on, he could no longer tolerate being deliberately made things difficult for him. Finally, he exposed his true nature and left. "
"In the end, he did not obtain the Soul Restoring Relic. However, would there be no consequences for not obtaining such an important item? I don't think it's very likely. Perhaps, it's because of the consequences that he needs the Soul Returning Root to repair himself. "
"If we can find a Soul Returning Root, we might be able to lure that punk out!"
When Zhou Baifeng said that, Si Shaoyu fell into deep thought. From Zhou Baifeng's analysis, it was indeed highly possible.
If that was the case, and the Myriad Immortal Pavilion publicly sold a Soul Returning Root, it was possible that Yi Yun would take the risk out of desperation. They would then be able to find Yi Yun.
Although this method might not work, it was better than running around aimlessly like a headless fly.
"Alright! Let's do it that way. Brother Baifeng, if I use this method to find that little bastard, I will definitely reward you handsomely. "A glint flashed in Si Shaoyu's eyes.
"Hahaha! Brother Shaoyu, you are exaggerating. I also wish to kill that punk. Our goals are the same. "
Zhou Baifeng laughed out loud. If he could really use this method to find Yi Yun, he would be able to resolve his hatred and befriend Si Shaoyu. He might even be able to push Si Shaoyu to the position of successor to the Myriad Immortal Pavilion. It would be killing many birds with one stone.
And just as Zhou Baifeng was laughing heartily, he suddenly felt that something was amiss.
"Oh? Why do I feel a chill down my spine? "
For some baffling reason, Zhou Baifeng felt a chill run down his back. It was as though a cold wind had blown past him.
"It feels like a cold wind."
Si Shaoyu frowned slightly as well. It was as though a cold wind had just blown into his bones.
However, when the two surveyed their surroundings, they did not see anything out of the ordinary. It baffled them.
"It might just be a gust of wind. There are quite a number of experts in the core region of Myriad City. How can there be anything that can hide from the perception of so many people? We are overthinking things."
"Hahahaha, that's right. Brother Shaoyu, let's part ways here. I hope you will pay more attention to the Soul Returning Root."
"Of course, although the Soul Returning Root is rare, it is not impossible for my Myriad Immortal Pavilion to find it!"
Si Shaoyu was very confident. The Myriad Divine Territory was one of the trading hubs of the Yang God Empyrean Heaven. The Myriad Immortal Pavilion was also the biggest faction here, so it was not difficult to find an item.
Si Shaoyu and Zhou Baifeng parted ways. Following that, Si Shaoyu reported the matter to the Elder Consortium.
