Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law-Chapter 234 - 232: Qing Yu Bitten by the Thousand-legged Centipede, Yet Burned by Blood Power? The Tian Family’s Black-robed Emissary!

Chapter 234: Chapter 232: Qing Yu Bitten by the Thousand-legged Centipede, Yet Burned by Blood Power? The Tian Family’s Black-robed Emissary!

When they had finished eating and left the courtyard, Qing Yu stood silently at the entrance.

Watching Lu Ye’s departing figure, she stood there like a piece of wood, lost for a long time.

Only after several minutes did she return to the courtyard somewhat absent-mindedly.

Counting on her fingers, Qing Yu murmured, "The next time the young master returns, it should be in a month..."

Just then, a shadow silently slipped into the courtyard, appearing behind Qing Yu!

Before Qing Yu could notice, the shadow swiftly lunged forward, biting into the exposed back of her neck!

Immediately, a strong toxin injected itself, starting to feed on this Human Race girl’s blood!

It was precisely the Thousand-legged Centipede that had previously slipped out of the dim room.

On the verge of advancement, it felt a strong craving for blood food.

But those who fed it had yet to arrive.

The Thousand-legged Centipede could no longer suppress its instincts and dashed out of the room, sensing an existence here that greatly attracted it.

At that moment, the Thousand-legged Centipede decided to strike!

Feeling a sudden numbing pain on her neck, Qing Yu thought it was some blood-sucking mosquito, and she slapped it forcefully!

Smack!

The Thousand-legged Centipede, whose poison had been enhanced once, never expected...

After injecting its horrifying poison, the person in front of it without any cultivation, could actually fight back!

Instantly, it received the full force of the slap.

Thud!

The Thousand-legged Centipede fell to the ground immediately.

At the same time...

The blood just absorbed from this Human Race girl seemed to begin functioning, making the Thousand-legged Centipede feel like its insides were ablaze!

Suddenly, the Thousand-legged Centipede twisted desperately on the ground.

Qing Yu turned her head, immediately scared out of her wits.

"Cent... Centipede?!"

Her face turned pale in fright as she stared at the constantly twisting member of the Five Poison on the ground, mustering the courage to stomp down hard!

...

Nightfall gradually approached, and the streets began to light up with paths of illumination, lighting up various parts of Cloud Leaf City.

But some corners remained in darkness, swallowed by shadows, devoid of light.

Lu Ye did not rush to the Tian Family to investigate but continued his habit of cultivating outside the city for the first half of the night.

With the Hundredfold Amplification activated, he could clearly feel his realm rising bit by bit... indeed a somewhat immersive experience.

Soon, midnight arrived, and the chill gradually intensified.

The streets inside the city had become sparsely populated.

Occasionally, a few people hurried by, fearing something.

After all, rumors of two disappearances inside the city were known by almost everyone in Cloud Leaf City.

In the deep silence of the night, a shadow, like a ghost under the moon, silently slipped past yawning guards of the Tian Family, entering the old residence.

Upon entering, Lu Ye immediately felt... that something was definitely amiss with the Tian Family.

In a side hall were actually several Innate Realm auras! 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

To know, before Tian Qing left, only Tian Xiong should have been the sole Innate in the Tian Family.

Thinking momentarily, Lu Ye promptly headed toward the side hall.

Inside the side hall, a few people were whispering.

"Do the people monitoring Tian Qing have any developments to report?"

"Nothing for now, this Hermit Grandmaster doesn’t seem to frequently interact with Tian Qing."

"I say, why bother with that Hermit Grandmaster? I don’t believe, if Tian Qing really is dead, he will exert great effort to avenge a dead man."

The last voice, tinged with anger, was Tian Xiong.

He sat in a chair, not in the main seat, but on the right side.

In the main seat was a man completely shrouded in a black robe, who, upon hearing that, said in a deep voice, "Patriarch Tian, don’t be anxious, we certainly won’t stand by idly in this matter."

"It’s not me who’s anxious, Envoy. If Tian Qing and that Hermit Grandmaster meet and talk about my Tian Family’s affair..."

Tian Xiong’s face twitched, gloomily saying, "My Tian Family will be finished, and all associated with my Tian Family will be implicated."

The black-robed Envoy sat in the main seat, seeming to fall into contemplation.

Admittedly, Tian Xiong’s words did hold some truth.

However, the Hermit Grandmaster’s strength... ordinary Martial Arts Grandmasters are no match for him.

If one wishes to solve this comprehensively, achieving the "dead men tell no tales" level of confidentiality.

It would require permission from the sect to deploy top experts above the Sixth Layer Grandmaster level.

But even within the sect, after years of development, Sixth Layer Grandmasters are few, countable on one hand.

Suddenly, a person in black on the left side said, "This matter might truly need the Envoy to inform the sect because Tian Qing has already discovered clues. We could potentially be exposed."

The weight of this person seemed heavier than Tian Xiong’s, and after hearing, the black-robed Envoy slightly pondered, saying, "Then let the Envoy notify the Divine Sect. If there’s a response, you’ll be informed first."

While these people were talking, atop the roof, someone had wrapped himself in Grandmaster’s Source Qi, stealthily removed a tile, and recorded the whole scene indoors using a Memory Stone.

Among the recorded images, Tian Family’s new patriarch Tian Xiong was the only one with a revealed identity, distinctly visible.

Thinking for a moment, Lu Ye not only recorded the image.

But also directly used the recently learned Spiritual Awareness Technique, the Purple Extreme Divine Refining Technique, silently marking a Spiritual Mark on these black-clad individuals.

Due to being on the rooftop, even with Lu Ye’s prowess, marking the Spiritual Mark was somewhat arduous.

Luckily, the casting distance of the Purple Extreme Divine Refining Technique is much farther than ordinary spiritual techniques, ultimately completing without alerting these people.

After leaving the Spiritual Mark, Lu Ye quietly exited the Tian Family.

"Who would have thought, a small Cloud Leaf City has now caught the attention of these Evil Influence and got infiltrated."

Under the night sky, Lu Ye shook his head helplessly.

A glimpse of more significant issues through a small opening, considering Cloud Leaf City is infiltrated... What about other places or influences?

Although he doesn’t have much affection for Red Cloud Fairy, her control of Red Cloud Sect is necessary, especially when the situation in the Northern Territory truly changes.

Otherwise, relying on one person alone would struggle to cope, even with talents like having three heads and six arms.

Taking out the Communication Jade Token, Lu Ye thought for a moment and sent a message to Red Cloud Fairy, whom he recently added contact with.

[There are traces of Evil Dao in Cloud Leaf City, so be cautious about Red Cloud Sect being infiltrated.]

...

At this moment, in Red Cloud Sect, dense Heaven and Earth Source Qi lingered within the sect’s mountain range.

Red Cloud Fairy, who had just returned to the sect not long ago, was meditating in a quiet chamber.

Suddenly, the Communication Jade Token in her Storage Ring signaled a message alert.
