Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 797 - 363: Overbearing (Part 2)

"Senior Wan Yang!"

True Monarch Lan Ling hastily bowed. "I didn’t expect your esteemed presence at our Valley of Ten Thousand Demons. May I know the reason for your visit?"

True Monarch Wan Yang looked down at the two.

"I am here to find someone."

True Monarch Wan Yang’s voice was cold and ruthless, piercing like icy blades, "Where is Yan Ruchen?"

Hearing Junior Brother Yan’s name, True Monarch Lan Ling felt a sudden chill, a sense of foreboding flooding her heart.

For such a figure as True Monarch Wan Yang to personally seek Junior Brother Yan, and with such an ominous tone, it could not be anything good.

Countless possibilities flashed through her mind: 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Did Junior Brother Yan offend the Heaven-Suppressing Sect?

Or was it due to some other reason?

No matter the cause, it did not bode well for Junior Brother Yan.

Lan Ling revolved her thoughts endlessly, pondering how she should respond.

She wished to conceal something for Xu Ping, but before an existence like True Monarch Wan Yang, any lie could be easily exposed.

Moreover, many in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons knew about Xu Ping’s departure, so hiding it held no meaning.

"In reply to Senior,"

True Monarch Lan Ling took a deep breath, striving to keep her voice calm, "Junior Brother Yan... has gone out."

"Gone out?"

True Monarch Wan Yang’s brows slightly furrowed, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

So coincidental?

He had just come upon the news and arrived, yet the person was conveniently away?

"How long has he been out and when will he return?" True Monarch Wan Yang continued to question, his tone tinged with impatience.

"He has been gone for over a month now."

True Monarch Lan Ling answered truthfully, "As for when he’ll return... Junior Brother Yan did not specify a definite time."

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Wan Yang’s frown deepened further, a glint of contemplation passed through his eyes.

Such coincidental timing forced him to suspect some hidden evasion.

Logically, an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator couldn’t foresee the actions of the Heaven-Suppressing Sect, nor could he escape beforehand.

However, if he truly possessed that mystical treasure, the situation would be completely different.

True Monarch Wan Yang recalled the words of the Supreme Elder.

The Profound Celestial Embryo is one of the most miraculous treasures in the world, not only containing boundless creation power but also the ability to foresee outcomes and avoid danger.

If Yan Ruchen truly possessed the Profound Celestial Embryo, leaving early upon sensing danger would not be unexpected.

Contemplating this, True Monarch Wan Yang’s frown eased, his eyes revealed strong interest and anticipation.

Such an unusual coincidence further confirmed his suspicions.

Yan Ruchen very likely has the Profound Celestial Embryo!

"Since he is not here, allow me a search."

True Monarch Wan Yang said coldly, "Open the Mountain Protection Array and bring out all items containing Yan Ruchen’s aura."

"Senior, this..." True Monarch Lan Ling hesitantly spoke.

She could accept the first request, but the second one left her troubled.

However, her hesitation thoroughly angered True Monarch Wan Yang.

"Hmph!"

True Monarch Wan Yang snorted coldly, a flash of icy murderous intent in his eyes.

His aura instantly surged, overwhelming like the sea, as pressure flooded toward True Monarch Lan Ling.

Endless flames burst forth from his palm, transforming into a roaring fire dragon that charged at True Monarch Lan Ling.

This fiery dragon, dozens of feet long, was entirely blood-red, emanating terrifying heat capable of burning mountains and boiling seas.

Where it passed, even the void twisted and deformed, emitting rumbling explosions.

True Monarch Lan Ling’s face changed drastically. She rushed to channel all her mana, forming a dense water curtain in front of her.

By rights, her main cultivation being Water Element techniques should greatly restrain flames.

But when cultivation disparity is too vast, all elemental restraining is futile.

Bang!

The fire dragon slammed into the water curtain, the terrifying heat instantly vaporizing it.

The relentless flames continued forward, striking heavily upon Lan Ling.

"Puff—"

True Monarch Lan Ling spat a mouthful of blood, her figure like a severed kite flying backwards.

"Supreme Elder!"

The disciples of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons paled in shock, exclaiming in unison.

Yet facing an existence like True Monarch Wan Yang, there was only anger without courage.

"Do you wish for your Valley of Ten Thousand Demons to be annihilated?"

True Monarch Wan Yang coldly scanned everyone present.

At that moment, True Monarch Yuan Tie’s gaze flickered, he suddenly spoke:

"Calm your anger, Senior. The junior is willing to cooperate with your search."

He understood that continuing resistance would only worsen the situation. Instead of letting the Valley suffer greater losses, he might as well cooperate, perhaps salvaging something.

"Senior Brother Yan usually cultivates at Cyan Cloud Peak, there lies his abode and cultivation chamber."

True Monarch Yuan Tie gritted his teeth and said, "In addition, he has a longtime servant girl named Xie Lu from whom some clues might be gleaned."

True Monarch Wan Yang nodded in satisfaction, the killing intent in his eyes slightly receding.

"Good, lead the way."

True Monarch Yuan Tie felt a bitter taste in his heart but could only brace himself and lead the way.

Soon, the group arrived at Xu Ping’s abode at Cyan Cloud Peak.

True Monarch Wan Yang swept his Divine Sense, immediately noticing various residual aura traces inside the abode.

Meanwhile, Xie Lu shook with fear under True Monarch Wan Yang’s overwhelming pressure.

True Monarch Wan Yang’s eyes gleamed, with a wave of his hand, a formless force instantly brought the trembling Xie Lu before him.

He extended a finger, the fingertip flashing with strange red light, and without hesitation tapped it onto Xie Lu’s brow, beginning a forcible search through her memory for all information.
