"Is your wife currently in Martial Numinous Palace?" asked Yi Yun.
Xiaoqing said, "She has been placed under house arrest. I do not know her exact location but I do know that the person who will be marrying her is named Li Yunshang. I have always suspected that Li Yunshang was the culprit behind Master Wang's predicament."
"Li Yunshang …"
Yi Yun nodded. The information he obtained from searching Li Yunfeng's soul also included Li Yunshang. He originally believed that Wang Mu's wife was a venomous woman who killed her husband and abandoned her daughter for another man. He did not pay much attention to Li Yunshang's name.
But things were different now. Yi Yun asked Xiaoqing a few more questions, filling in the incomplete information he obtained from the soul search.
As such, Yi Yun's thoughts became clearer.
Li Yunshang was Li Yunfeng's cousin. There was a huge age gap between them and Li Yunshang's talent was a lot better than Li Yunfeng's. Their strengths were on completely different levels. Li Yunshang was already a candidate Elder of the Martial Numinous clan. He was the most highly regarded person among the Li family's younger generation.
The Li family was a very influential family clan in the Martial Numinous clan. As the Li family had its own unique heritage, it produced many alchemists. Even the Heaven Refinement Pavilion was mainly managed by the Li family. Because of this, the Li family controlled large amounts of resources. Few people in the Martial Numinous clan dared to offend the Li family.
"That Li Jiuxiao is indeed quite a figure in the Martial Numinous clan. However, he isn't that strong. He's only an ordinary Divine Lord. Everyone involved in Wang Mu's murder is a member of the Li family. It's highly likely that the Li family was the culprit. "
Yi Yun guessed that the Martial Numinous clan probably did not know that Wang Mu had been assassinated by the Li family. It was a secret operation of the Li family. Only a few core members of the Li family knew of it, including Li Yunfeng. If not, Yi Yun would have learned of the cause and effect of the soul search.
When the Li family learned that Wang Mu and his wife had obtained the ancient herbal garden's ruins, they secretly murdered Wang Mu. Then, they forcefully occupied his wife so that they could monopolize the herbal garden and exclude the Martial Numinous clan.
"I'll make a trip to the Li family first!"
Yi Yun quickly made a decision. He had memories of Wang Mu's wife and the Li family focused on alchemy. They did not have many experts. As long as he was careful, it would not be too dangerous.
"Thank you for your help, young master."
Upon hearing Yi Yun's words, Xiaoqing revealed a look of delight. From the looks of it, Yi Yun was interested in the ancient herbal garden.
If Yi Yun could really find Madam, there would be an additional chance of her being saved. Now that Madam Wang's situation was unknown, Xiaoqing was extremely worried about her.
"It's nothing. I have my own selfish motives. I just happen to need some medicinal herbs." Yi Yun did not hide it. He could be a chivalrous person, but if the matter itself was very tricky, to the point of endangering his life, then Yi Yun would not sacrifice himself to save others. But now, it was different.
"You cannot be discovered by the Martial Numinous Palace. You might as well stay with Wang Mu and his family," said Yi Yun.
"En, many thanks, Young Master." Xiaoqing was overjoyed as she immediately nodded. Following that, she was summoned out of the God Advent Tower and sucked into it.
Yi Yun put away the God Advent Tower and looked around. With a flash of his figure, he vanished from where he stood. The next moment, he appeared several kilometers away. He walked unhurriedly into the streets and blended into the crowd.
Yi Yun naturally knew the location of the Li family after searching Li Yunfeng's memories. He even roughly knew the distribution of the Li family's guards, as well as the residences of a few important members of the Li family.
He came to a spot thousands of feet away from the Li family and found a tea house. He quietly drank his tea and waited until it was completely dark. Yi Yun silently came to the outer wall of the Li family's backyard. Following that, his figure flashed and he entered the Li Manor.
The bright moon hung high in the night sky, covering the land with a faint layer of silver sand. However, the bright moon failed to illuminate Yi Yun's figure.
Yi Yun strolled through the Li family's backyard like a nimble cat. Wherever he passed, space would distort, completely concealing his figure. As such, even if Yi Yun approached the guards, they would not be able to discover him.
The strongest person in the Li family was Li Yunshang's father, Li Qijian. He was also the Li family's patriarch.
Yi Yun was still very afraid of Li Qijian. However, according to Li Yunfeng's memories, Li Qijian had been in seclusion for years. A person in seclusion would focus all their attention on cultivation. Yi Yun was not worried that Li Qijian would discover his whereabouts.
Yi Yun followed the route in his memories and approached Li Yunshang's residence. This was the place where he believed he could most likely find Wang Mu's wife.
…
At that moment, in the Li Manor —
Li Jiuxiao's figure landed in a manor. He was fuming with anger and the aura he released caused the manor to quake. If not for the array formation's protection, the manor would probably have collapsed.
The servants and maidservants in the yard fell silent out of fear.
"Uncle, don't be angry over Yunfeng's matter. I'm also sad about Yunfeng's passing."
A man in white walked into the courtyard, accompanied by a somewhat androgynous voice.
The white-dressed man was none other than Li Yunshang.
He had a head of long hair and he held a jade flute in his hand. His clothes fluttered in the wind, making him look like a distinguished scholar of the mortal world.
Li Jiuxiao sighed. "If Yunfeng had your strength, he would not have ended up in such a state."
Li Yunshang sighed lightly and said, "It is indeed a pity for Yunfeng. However, Uncle, do not let your anger get to your head. We still have important matters to attend to. As long as this matter is done and we find some rare treasures, it will definitely nourish your body, allowing your strength to improve further. When the time comes, you might even have children more outstanding than Yunfeng. Yunfeng will be able to rest in peace in the underworld. "
Upon hearing Li Yunshang's words, Li Jiuxiao felt his mind jolt. Indeed, if he could find the ancient herbal garden, his strength would improve further. Compared to that, the loss of a son was not something unacceptable. All he had to do was give birth again.
"Have you dealt with that woman?"
Li Yunshang nodded. "Almost. I have already planted a Mind Loss Gu on her. Now, some of her actions are under my control. In a few more days, her thoughts will also be under my control."
"Alright, that's good …"
Li Jiuxiao took a deep breath. His nephew had too many tricks up his sleeves. He was just too vicious. Wang Mu had died under his hands without anyone realizing it.
As for Wang Mu's wife, Li Yunshang had used another method. Not only did he not silence her, he even slowly controlled Wang Mu's wife's mind. He planned on taking her into his room and slowly using her for dual cultivation.
Such ruthless means left even Li Jiuxiao feeling a chill down his back. It was unknown what would happen when Li Yunshang fully matured and became the Li family's patriarch. Regardless, Li Jiuxiao did not wish to offend his nephew. He did not know when he would die under his hands.
Upon coming to this realization, Li Jiuxiao shook his head and said, "Yunshang, go have a rest. I still have some pills to refine to treat that guest …"
As Li Jiuxiao spoke, he walked to his alchemy lab.
As for Li Yunshang, he had also returned to his residence. Following that, a woman with a seductive figure and foxy eyes walked out of a tiny yard.
"Young Master Yunshang, you are back."
The woman helped Li Yunshang to sit on the couch before kneeling down and helping him take off his shoes and socks.
Li Yunshang allowed the woman to serve him as he asked, "How's that woman?"
The woman massaged Li Yunshang's legs. Her hands were even and forceful. Every massage was perfect and there was even a hint of nomological charm to it. Clearly, the woman was an expert and not a useless vase. Yet, she was willing to bend her knees for Li Yunshang.
"She is in a daze all day. She sits there the entire day. I have no idea what's going on in her head."
"Alright." Li Yunshang nodded. The effects of the Mind Loss Gu were becoming stronger. In a few more days, her mind would be completely compatible with his. She would then become a perfect sex slave. When that happened, he could use her to cultivate in his' Extreme Bliss Sutra. '
Upon thinking of this, the corners of Li Yunshang's mouth curled up slightly. Wang Mu's wife had a special bloodline. She was perfect for cultivating in the 'Extreme Bliss Sutra. Unfortunately, that idiot Wang Mu had wasted a heavenly treasure and wasted his wife's primordial Yin. Li Yunshang had long wanted this woman.
At that moment, in the empty yard, space began to distort slightly. Yi Yun was standing there silently.
Yi Yun had heard Li Yunshang and Li Jiuxiao's conversation.
"Mind Loss Gu … This Li Yunshang sure is vicious." Yi Yun looked coldly in the direction Li Yunshang had left.
However, killing him now would alert the Li family.
Yi Yun turned his head to look in the direction where the maidservant had come from. If he was not mistaken, Wang Mu's wife was likely in the yard.
There were a few guards patrolling the yard. There were also a few maidservants waiting outside the door. And inside the house, there was a person's aura. It was likely Wang Mu's wife.
"Since I want the herbal garden, saving Wang Mu's wife is only right. It's not only to obtain information, but also to return a favor to the couple." As Yi Yun thought to himself, he had already snuck into the yard without realizing it.
It was impossible for anyone in the yard to discover Yi Yun. Soon, Yi Yun arrived outside the room. All he needed to do was bring Wang Mu's wife into the God Advent Tower before secretly leaving.
But at that moment, something unexpected happened!
Yi Yun suddenly sensed a cold and sinister aura sweep across the yard. Immediately following that, the aura locked onto him!
Yi Yun's limbs instantly turned cold.
Who is it!?
Yi Yun had been extremely careful tonight. Apart from Li Qijian, Yi Yun believed that no one could discover him.
Could it be that Li Qijian had come out of seclusion?
That's not right!
Yi Yun suddenly found the cold and sinister aura somewhat familiar. A person that suffocated him surfaced in Yi Yun's mind.
The aura belonged to … Myriad God Patriarch!
