Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law-Chapter 232 - 230: Is the City Lord of Cloud Leaf City Also Compromised? Visiting Qing Yu

Chapter 232: Chapter 230: Is the City Lord of Cloud Leaf City Also Compromised? Visiting Qing Yu

Tian Qing let out a slight sigh, didn’t say much, and turned to head towards the small courtyard in the suburbs.

Behind him, a flicker of fierceness appeared deep within Tian Xiong’s eyes, seemingly... contemplating some decision.

Eventually, that hint of fierceness condensed into substance.

"Since you’re old and muddled... don’t blame me for neglecting old ties."

Cruelty emerged in Tian Xiong’s heart; Tian Qing, being at Innate Third Layer, he truly couldn’t deal with now, but... there was someone who could!

...

Jiang Family.

After returning to the Jiang Mansion, Jiang Lianshan exhaled a long breath.

With the ancestor absent, every incident nowadays made him feel a crisis like walking a tightrope.

Though the tiger skin sent by the Red Cloud Sect was in possession, the leaked news of the ancestor’s demise...

On the surface, everyone appeared harmonious for mutual gain, but the various secretive actions faced behind the scenes were enough to leave him in a mess.

Moreover, Jiang Lianshan wasn’t someone who doesn’t think; he had a vague intuition...

This series of disappearances within Cloud Leaf City seemed to reveal something strange.

Thankfully, twice they’ve targeted Condensing Origin Realm martial artists with no significant background, indicating some degree of caution from the other side.

After a moment’s thought, Jiang Lianshan summoned Jiang Qingge and Lu Ye to come over together.

Inside the small courtyard, Lu Ye, having just returned not long ago, was slightly surprised to hear Jiang Lianshan calling him.

Though part of the Jiang family, he hadn’t had much interaction with this father-in-law in recent years.

"Father called us over, there must be something." Jiang Qingge said softly, "Shall we go?"

After a moment’s thought, Lu Ye nodded.

Upon reaching the hall, after Jiang Qingge greeted him, he curiously asked, "Father, why did you call us over? Is there something happening?"

Jiang Lianshan relayed the information he had previously obtained, and soon after, he took out several talismans from the storage ring and handed them to the two of them, saying.

"The outside isn’t very safe now, you two must pay extra attention to your safety. These are Tier Three Lower Grade Defense Talismans I specifically purchased, capable of blocking a full-force strike below Innate Middle Stage!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye’s brows furrowed slightly, are such incidents occurring again?

After the previous incident, he thought those people should have left Cloud Leaf City by now.

Shoot and change location.

Unexpectedly, Cloud Leaf City could still have a repeat occurrence.

While Jiang Qingge, looking at the talismans ready to be handed to them by Jiang Lianshan, glanced at Lu Ye and stepped forward to take them.

"Thank you, father."

Jiang Lianshan looked at Jiang Qingge, who had taken all the talismans, and asked, puzzled, "You’re not giving half to Lu Ye?"

Jiang Qingge: "..."

He’s already a Martial Arts Grandmaster, even if out of boredom he casually swings, it’s more terrifying than these Innate Talismans!

However, on the surface, Jiang Qingge still said, "Here, husband, for you."

Watching Jiang Qingge raise her eyebrows at him, Lu Ye calmly nodded and took the talismans.

Simultaneously, he contemplated on seeking out Tian Qing, he’s been in the city for a while to see if he could know any clues.

...

After leaving the Jiang Family, Lu Ye headed straight for Tian Qing’s courtyard in the suburbs.

Soon after, upon approaching the nearby courtyard, Lu Ye sharply sensed something amiss.

Around him... there was someone watching!

Though the person watching was hidden rather discreetly, in front of Lu Ye, all this was irrelevant.

"An Innate Fifth Layer, coming to watch over Innate Third Layer Tian Qing... interesting."

Lu Ye remained calm, pretending not to see, entered Tian Qing’s courtyard in a black outfit.

Seeing the sudden arrival of a person in black, the somewhat pensive-looking Tian Qing first froze, and then, just as he was about to speak, he saw the person in black gesture to silence.

Immediately, Tian Qing understood, and switched to using Innate True Qi for transmission while saying aloud, "Hehe, so it’s the young friend, please have a seat."

No title, no surname, just a simple young friend as if engaging in casual greetings with a junior.

Outside the courtyard, inside the meticulously monitoring house, the Innate Fifth Layer eavesdropper immediately sent his perception to expand discreetly.

Upon sensing that the coming person was merely a regular Postnatal Second Layer Realm, interest was instantly lost.

His surveillance had dual purposes: waiting for Tian Qing to leave Cloud Leaf City... and also waiting for a particular individual!

That rumored mysterious Martial Arts Grandmaster behind Tian Qing!

To act against Tian Qing, it’s imperative to fully understand this grandmaster’s true nature or identity.

Otherwise, the wrath of a grandmaster would be enough to turn Cloud Leaf City upside down.

His reason for monitoring Tian Qing, aside from strength, remained the possession of a Yellow Tier Upper Grade Spiritual Awareness Technique!

The moment he discovered the Martial Arts Grandmaster, he could stealthily plant a Spiritual Mark.

Subsequently, effortlessly locating the hermit grandmaster’s hidden residence within the city!

To target Tian Qing, the influence of this grandmaster naturally couldn’t be ignored.

"What’s going on, I noticed you being monitored, and it’s an Innate Fifth Layer." Lu Ye transmitted.

Tian Qing sighed inwardly, saying, "I have a guess who’s behind this, they really have gone astray, otherwise, they wouldn’t involve an Innate Fifth Layer cultivator."

With Tian Qing’s transmission narration, Lu Ye’s brows gradually furrowed.

He hadn’t expected that after traveling to the Eastern Territory recently, within Cloud Leaf City, an entire Innate Clan had already been infiltrated by an Evil Dao and turned into pawns.

Tian Family...

After a moment of thought, Tian Qing’s tone grew solemn, saying, "Moreover... I suspect there’s another force in the city that’s also fallen into the hands of evil cultivation."

"Being merely Innate Third Layer, after I rebuked Tian Xiong yesterday, if they could involve an Innate Fifth Layer, they could easily act against me even within the city."

"But they didn’t, instead, they chose to monitor me."

Pausing, Tian Qing looked at the masked Lu Ye, transmitting, "Hence, I suspect they might be aware of your presence behind me."

"This matter, I previously mentioned only once to City Lord Wang Xingluo in Cloud Leaf City..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye’s brows suddenly furrowed, he already understood Tian Qing’s implication.

Within Cloud Leaf City... there’s deceit!

Moreover, it’s not just the Tian Family, even the City Lord of Cloud Leaf City... might have issues!

...

After leaving Tian Qing’s courtyard, Lu Ye’s hand already held several Memory Stones.

He’s planning to sneak into the Tian Family and City Lord’s Mansion at night to record some footage.

Tian Qing had already come to terms with matters regarding the Tian Family.

A family willingly falling into the Evil Dao, indulging in sinister cultivation methods, continuing to exist would undoubtedly grow into a larger cancer.

Thinking of the small courtyard he purchased nearby, in the alley, he removed his black robe and planned to visit Qing Yu.

Buying some meat and vegetables along the way, after thinking for a moment, he selected an ornamental hairpin from a street vendor and proceeded to his courtyard.
