Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law-Chapter 271 - 269: Youluo: "Can I Try Helping Master Again..." Exposing the Five Poison Sect Leader’s Secrets, Shocking the Northern Territory

Chapter 271: Chapter 269: Youluo: "Can I Try Helping Master Again..." Exposing the Five Poison Sect Leader’s Secrets, Shocking the Northern Territory

Just before falling unconscious, Youluo’s last thought was...

"That cunning Five Poison Sect Leader has advanced to Grandmaster... Thankfully my master husband is alright!"

Her head tilted, and Youluo collapsed onto Lu Ye.

Catching Youluo’s delicate body, Lu Ye shook his head slightly.

Clearly aware of her weak poison resistance, she dared to charge into the Poisonous Miasma Forest, relying only on a basic version of the Antitoxic Pill.

Should it be called bravery, or is bravery all she has left...

Surveying the surroundings, Lu Ye chose a direction and disappeared with the unconscious Youluo.

...

By a mountain stream, the water meandered down from the mountains, making a tinkling sound.

Less than a hundred meters away was a bamboo hut, but due to years of disrepair, it had become quite dilapidated.

Inside the bamboo hut, Lu Ye took out a spare set of black clothes and placed them on the bamboo bed after cleaning it up. Lying on the clothes was Youluo, her eyes tightly shut, still unconscious.

Standing by the window, without turning his head, Lu Ye said calmly, "If you’re awake, stop pretending."

Youluo: "..."

Just awakened from unconsciousness, but not opening her eyes, Youluo was a bit curious. She opened one eye and asked, "How did you know I was awake? I didn’t change my breathing rhythm."

Turning back to glance at her, Lu Ye gave a calm look without saying a word.

After all, it was he who had helped expel the poison from her body. Lu Ye had predicted she would wake soon.

Youluo didn’t open her eyes immediately because she felt... a bit embarrassed.

After all, as a respectable Grandmaster Ninth Layer, she had succumbed to those troublesome poisons twice.

Youluo thought to herself... Poison is truly the nastiest thing in the world!

Since she was caught pretending, Youluo immediately got up from the bamboo bed, looked beneath her...

Her eyes turned, and she stored the black clothes that lined the bamboo bed into her Storage Ring.

"That’s my Night Traveling Clothes. Why are you putting them away?" Lu Ye raised an eyebrow.

"I’ll buy you ten sets later!" Youluo shifted the topic: "Master husband, are you okay? That Five Poison Sect Leader has advanced to Grandmaster, without any hint, so insidious."

While speaking, Youluo had already moved to Lu Ye’s side.

The posture suggested that she was not just concerned but also intended to... personally check for injuries.

With a slightly darkened expression, Lu Ye caught Youluo’s hand attempting to inspect him and said, "I’m fine, just a little injury. The Five Poison Sect Leader is probably worse off than me."

Youluo: "???"

Hearing this, Youluo was stunned.

She assumed her master husband had suffered a setback against the mysteriously powerful Five Poison Sect Leader.

And as the Five Poison Sect Leader being a Grandmaster, he should have been unscathed!

Yet Lu Ye claimed... the Five Poison Sect Leader was more seriously injured than he was?!

But, Youluo immediately realized...

Divine Technique!

This is a powerful means to bridge the strength gap.

The Five Poison Sect Leader, despite being a Grandmaster, was in the Northern Territory, where local forces lacked even a single Celestial Tier Secret Scripture.

Youluo didn’t believe the Five Poison Sect Leader could produce a Divine Technique!

Sure enough, in the next second, they heard Lu Ye say, "After all, I had the advantage of surprise; the Five Poison Sect Leader wasn’t prepared before I took action. Combined with the Divine Technique, I was able to injure him."

"However, the Grandmaster Realm... is indeed truly terrifying. Generally, a late-stage Grandmaster would probably fall in just three moves at his hands."

Regarding this, Youluo wholeheartedly agreed; as one progresses further in cultivation, the gap in Great Realms becomes increasingly frightful.

"Right, the matter of the Five Poison Sect Leader advancing to Grandmaster, use your channels to quickly spread the news." Lu Ye’s eyes turned a bit profound.

Since the Five Poison Sect Leader wants to hide his trump card, hide his Grandmaster realm strength...

He must not be allowed to succeed easily!

Spread the news well that the Five Poison Sect Leader has indeed become a true Grandmaster!

"Okay, I’ll immediately inform the elder of Youluo Sect to handle it." Youluo quickly nodded and used the Communication Jade to give instructions.

Watching Lu Ye’s still somewhat pale face, recalling how Lu Ye charged out of the Poisonous Miasma Forest with that blood-stained face cloth...

Youluo put away the Communication Jade Token and quietly said, "Master husband, can Youluo... Youluo help the master try again?"

As the words fell, Youluo stood on tiptoes and leaned over directly.

Seeing Lu Ye reaching out, habitually trying to press down her head, Youluo’s face slightly tightened and quickly said, "Don’t stop me! Youluo is master’s person anyhow; eventually... I will help the master share the burden!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye’s outstretched hand slightly paused, revealing a hint of helplessness.

In this world, it seems this reasoning is right... However, it felt a bit off somehow.

And Youluo seized this opportunity and tried again!

"Hmm..."

...

Hundred Poison Mountain Range, Five Poison Sect Headquarters.

The Five Poison Sect Leader gazed at the havoc-wreaked grand hall, his eyes so dark they seemed ready to drip water.

Since the rise of the Five Poison Sect, when had such a loss been suffered in the Northern Territory?

To be infiltrated silently, all the way to the headquarters!

At that moment, a figure sped from outside, shouting, "Sect Leader, there’s an important report!"

Rushing into the grand hall and seeing the black-robed Sect Leader, the subordinate knelt and urgently reported, "Sect Leader, the latest news... It’s widely rumored that you have broken through the Grandmaster Ninth Layer barrier and achieved the status of Grandmaster!"

"Now, this news has likely spread throughout most of the Northern Territory."

Upon hearing this, the Five Poison Sect Leader’s pupils shrank sharply, a hint of extreme killing intent flashing in his eyes.

The thing he worried about the most had indeed occurred.

The search teams in the Hundred Poison Mountain Range and outside a hundred miles had failed to find any useful information.

By then, the Five Poison Sect Leader had already suspected that the opponent had probably escaped completely.

Now hearing this news spreading widely, the Five Poison Sect Leader didn’t even need to guess to know who leaked it.

After all, the matter of him advancing to Grandmaster was something only he knew, aside from heaven and earth.

Quickly regaining composure, the Five Poison Sect Leader coldly said, "If this Sect Leader truly achieved Grandmaster status, how could that petty intruder possibly leave my Five Poison Sect alive?"

No matter if outsiders believed it or not, the Five Poison Sect Leader would not acknowledge his advancement.

...

In the Northern Territory, two kinds of rumors were circulating, sparking endless discussions and splitting opinions.

One side believed that the Five Poison Sect Leader was secretly advancing and had likely already succeeded in achieving Grandmaster.

After all, the news came from someone who infiltrated the Five Poison Sect and thus seemed credible!

On the other hand, the belief was widespread that even the Five Poison Sect had sent people to disseminate news that the leader hadn’t succeeded in his advancement.

Otherwise, how could someone dare to infiltrate the sect and leave alive?

At this moment, within the Red Cloud Sect.

On the face of Red Cloud Fairy, adorned with a faint majesty, arose an expression of surprise.

"What? Someone infiltrated the Five Poison Sect?! And fought against the Five Poison Sect Leader?!"
