I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them? - Chapter 442

Chapter 442: Chapter 246: Intent to Destroy the Dai Family, Where are the Four Disciples?_2
 

“Alright, let’s begin our brothers’ fame by attacking the Dai Family!”

Meng Chong said with a fierce smile.

Yu Xiaolong poked his head out of Xu Yan’s sleeve and swallowed. He looked a bit panicked.

Indeed, being brothers, they are truly insane!

Are they really going to annihilate the Dai Family now?

“I am too weak; if I could cultivate, I could help too.”

Yu Xiaolong said with a face full of dejection.

Ultimately, he had failed to learn the Great Demon Method from the Red Cat.

Xu Yan laughed and said, “If you want to learn the Great Demon Method, wait a bit longer. Once the Red Cat has its breakthrough, it will teach you!”

How could Xu Yan not know what the Red Cat was thinking?

It was simply afraid that after teaching Yu Xiaolong the Great Demon Method, Yu Xiaolong might surpass it in strength. Hence, the Red Cat planned to wait until after its breakthrough, when its strength had increased and it could easily suppress Yu Xiaolong, to then impart the Great Demon Method.

Moreover, Yu Xiaolong would be its first Demon Soldier and Demon General on its path to becoming the Great Demon King.

“The Red Cat is rather ambitious,” Meng Chong said with a chuckle.

“Let’s find a friend to understand the situation in Yuzhou and gather some intelligence on the Dai Family.”

After changing his appearance, Xu Yan brought Meng Chong to a large city under the control of the Shen Family.

They were going to ask Shen Haizhou for some news.

Since Xu Yan had killed the Divine Refinement Celestial of the Dai Family and looted their treasury, Yushen Sect and the Su Family had joined forces to hunt him down, but Xu Yan had vanished as if into thin air.

No further news came.

The Yushen Sect and the Su Family, feeling a heavy burden, even reached out to Spirit Sects outside Yuzhou asking for help to locate Xu Yan.

Shen Haizhou, after waiting a while without leaking the information he provided to Xu Yan, started to wander around from his clan territory.

But out of caution, he only roamed within the territory controlled by the Shen Family.

Especially in the large city where he had agreed to meet Xu Yan, he stayed until now.

Not long ago, there were signals that someone had spotted Xu Yan, and two Divine Refinement powerhouses from Yushen Sect and the Su Family went to capture him.

Eventually, both families’ Divine Refinement powerhouses never returned and disappeared.

It was almost certain they were killed!

This set off alarms for Yushen Sect and the Su Family.

These were Divine Refinement powerhouses, the cornerstone of Spirit Sects and noble families. The threat Xu Yan posed to them reached its peak as if a hand was clutching the throats of these two great powers.

Yushen Sect and the Su Family once again raised their rewards, and the lavish bounty even tempted Divine Refinement Celestials among Loose Cultivators.

This also showed the firmness of Yushen Sect and the Su Family!

The conflict between these two great forces and Xu Yan instantly escalated to a life-or-death situation.

They even began persuading other Spirit Sects and families in Yuzhou to participate, to join forces to eliminate Xu Yan and kill off this future trouble.

The Shen Family was also invited.

After all, the Shen Family was among the top five elite families, equal in strength to the Su Family.

Shen Haizhou’s view was, “If we fail to kill him, my Shen Family will be dragged down, but by sitting on the fence, we might have a chance to strengthen ourselves and even take over the resources of Yushen Sect and the Su Family.”

With this remark, he convinced his father Shen Wang and his grandfather Shen Tai, as well as the other elders of the clan, thus they tactfully declined the invitation from the Su Family and Yushen Sect, despite the substantial benefits offered.

The second and third-tier Spirit Sects and families in Yuzhou naturally did not lack those who wanted to use this opportunity to curry favor with Yushen Sect and the Su Family, so the number of forces getting involved gradually increased.

“Brother Xu is in a precarious situation!”

Shen Haizhou sighed.

However, he believed that Xu Yan might have already escaped Yuzhou.

The Wanshi Alliance was also looking for traces of Xu Yan, and Wen Yong, who had fled Yuzhou, sent a message to the Hierarch of Yuzhou, formally introducing Xu Yan, a standout Loose Cultivator.

In a large city controlled by the Shen Family, Hope City,

in front of a small shop, a beautiful girl, listening to the praises of a chubby boy, blushed and timidly said, “Young master, I’m not as great as you say I am.”

Shen Haizhou’s chubby face was filled with smiles as he said, “The beauty of a lady is beyond what words can describe… shall I invite myself in to explore the beauty? I assure you, miss, you won’t be disappointed.”

Slap!

A hand landed on his shoulder, and Shen Haizhou instantly got angry, turning around and said, “Didn’t you see I was…”

But what caught his eye was a handsome young man with a somewhat familiar face.

Next to the young man was a bald, burly man, exuding a fearsome and robust aura.

It scared him so much that his heart quivered.

“Brother Shen!”

Xu Yan revealed a smile.

Shen Haizhou was stunned, “Brother Xu?”

“It’s me!”

Xu Yan nodded.

“Who is he?”

Shen Haizhou swallowed a gulp of saliva and turned to Meng Chong.

“My junior brother, Meng Chong!”

Shen Haizhou breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out to be Xu Yan’s junior brother, but what made his junior brother so fierce?

“This is not a good place to talk, Brother Xu, please follow me.”

No wonder he looked familiar; it was Xu Yan.

Under Shen Haizhou’s lead, Xu Yan and Meng Chong entered a quiet, small courtyard.

“Brother Shen, I came to inquire about the Dai Family. I’m planning to completely remove this family from Yuzhou!”

Xu Yan said with a smile:

Gulp!

Shen Haizhou swallowed his saliva, his face filled with shock.

Hadn’t they just annihilated a Divine Refinement Celestial from Dai Family not long ago? And now they were planning to uproot the Dai Family itself?

While Xu Yan and Meng Chong were planning the extermination of the Dai Family, their mentor, Li Xuan, had already entered the Capital City of Zheng Country.

“It truly lives up to the Spiritual Realm.”

Gazing at the vast cityscape, bustling and bustling, far surpassing the Inner Domain, Li Xuan couldn’t help but marvel.

Passersby were all Martial Artists.

Grandmasters were everywhere, and only Great Grandmasters belonged to the middle-class warriors.

Wu-level martial artists and below were considered bottom-tier warriors.

Shops were numerous, selling spiritual medicines, medicinal potions, weapons, and more.

Transactions involved spirit crystals or spirit notes from the few supreme Transcendent Spirit Sects, though spirit notes were too scarce for lower-tier Loose Cultivators.

“So, this is what they call a slum?”

Li Xuan arrived at West Market, observing the chaotic, noisy streets, where Grandmaster Martial Artists could show off a bit and Great Grandmasters found a touch of loftiness that was hard to come by elsewhere.

Mostly, it was Loose Cultivators below the rank of Wu-level.

“How much to forge a fine quality treasure weapon?”

A martial artist stood in front of a blacksmith shop and asked.

A man wearing a short-sleeve fur vest raised one finger: “Ten thousand spirit crystals!”

“A little cheaper, I’ll provide some of the materials myself.”

“Eight thousand, I can’t go lower!”

“That’s too expensive.”

The weapon-seeking Martial Artist grimaced in pain and turned to leave.

“Six thousand, times are tough for everyone, and my shop’s rent isn’t cheap either. In the whole West Market, there are not many who can match my forging skills, and this is the lowest price.”

“Alright, six thousand!”

The Martial Artist clenched his teeth, still showing a pained expression, and took out a spirit note.

Li Xuan watched this scene, gaining a deeper understanding of the plight of lower-tier warriors in the Spiritual Realm.

“To cultivate Qimen Martial Art, one cannot lack talent in artifact refining and formation. Moreover, they must have high comprehension and ideally possess some unique and creative thoughts.

“Mediocrity, following the norm, without innovative ideas, makes it very hard to possess the talent for Qimen.”

Li Xuan walked through West Market, looking at each weapon forging shop, contemplating how to find his fourth disciple.

“Qimen Martial Art takes a unique approach. Those who are too conventional simply do not have the talent for cultivation. It’s not easy to find the right person.”

Li Xuan sighed inwardly.

The special talent required for Qimen Martial Art was extremely difficult to find.

“The Spiritual Realm is so vast, there must be such talented individuals somewhere. Hopefully, I can meet them.

“If the formation diagrams are released, those who can comprehend them will gain an opportunity. But would that attract the attention of Spirit Sects and noble families and bring about unnecessary troubles?”

Li Xuan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Searching alone was too difficult; it was truly about fate when it came to taking disciples!

Leaving West Market, he wandered into South Market.

South Market mainly sold spiritual medicines and spirit beasts. The beasts sold here were mostly low-priced, either for slaughter for food or concocting medicinal potions.

Or kept as pets.

After walking through the bustling streets of South Market to its quiet end, a slightly overweight teenager walked out of a shabby shop nearby. Upon seeing him, he revealed a mysterious and somewhat sleazy smile.

Mysterly leaning in, he said, “Hey big brother, come, come, I have a treasure here. Do you need it?”

Finally, he glanced around and whispered: “This is a treasure highly praised by Shen Family’s eldest son!”
