Chapter 951 Foundation
Although the Juemen clan's roots are not in the capital, their intelligence network in the capital has expanded extremely rapidly in recent days, and they have many informants.

Using the vast dark web of the Absolute Gate to monitor the Foolish Underworld not only provides a wider range of information channels, but also makes it more covert and less likely to be detected.

With the Jue Men clan secretly watching, Fang Yu's anxiety caused by the Yu Difu's crazy actions was greatly relieved.

This way, at least one can ensure that they do not miss important information due to a lack of information, nor be caught off guard by impending danger.

"In that case, thank you for your trouble, Senior Sister Lulu!"

Fang Yu clasped his hands in thanks, then casually changed the subject, asking, "By the way, Senior Sister, have you identified the next target? After resting briefly at the manor, I have fully recovered, full of energy and ready to act again at any time."

His tone carried an active attitude of serving the organization, but his eyes sharply captured every change in Lulu's face.

Fang Yu was already certain in his heart that his superficial cooperative relationship with Senior Sister Lulu was nearing its end.

This was not only because of the distance and wariness the other party had recently shown, but also because he knew that the commotion he had caused was getting bigger and bigger, and his target was becoming more and more conspicuous. If he continued to carry out the mission of the Absolute Gate, not only would the risk of his own exposure increase exponentially, but the opponent like the Zongfu last time had already exceeded the limit of his current ability to deal with it perfectly!
Before the partnership completely breaks down, or even before they become enemies, Fang Yu is determined to squeeze out the last bit of value from this woman!
Senior Sister Lulu's expression remained calm and composed, without the slightest ripple, and her answer was flawless: "We have a preliminary candidate in mind."

Her tone was calm.

"However, this target is somewhat special and the details are complicated. I need to verify some information. As for the specifics, we can probably only discuss them in detail when you come again tomorrow."

She cleverly used the excuses of "a date for tomorrow" and "information to be verified" to postpone Fang Yu's immediate desire to act.

Fang Yu's gaze lingered on her face for a moment as he quickly weighed the options in his mind.

The main purpose of this trip has been achieved, and as for the new task, there's no point in rushing it.

So he nodded and said decisively, "Alright! Then I'll do as Senior Sister says and come back to ask for your guidance tomorrow."

While I want the new mission, keeping the other party calm and ensuring I get the information from the Foolish Underworld is my top priority right now.

"Then I'll have to trouble Senior Sister Lulu."

Fang Yu cupped his hands in greeting again, his movements swift and decisive, before turning to take his leave.

Senior Sister Lulu still wore that perfectly timed, gentle smile as she watched Fang Yu's figure calmly disappear into the distance.

Only after Fang Yu's figure completely disappeared beyond the winding gate of the dye house, leaving no trace, did the carefully maintained smile on her face suddenly shatter and shrink like the surface of a frozen lake, eventually freezing into a cold indifference. Deep in her eyes, there was a surging regret and a trace of barely perceptible anxiety.

"Someone come here!" Her voice, as cold as ice, rang out in the empty hall.

The two trusted confidants who had been standing behind her like shadows immediately approached silently and swiftly, bowing and waiting for orders.

Senior Sister Lulu's speech became urgent and rapid, each word carrying an undeniable command: "Immediately! At the fastest speed! Notify Qian Wu!"

She took a deep breath, her eyes gleaming with a chilling light.

"Tell him that the target just left me! He's currently on his way back to the Ouyang residence! At all costs!"

The murderous intent in her voice was almost tangible.

"Absolutely! We must eliminate this person completely before he sets foot in the Ouyang residence!"

She emphasized "before returning home," which takes advantage of the fact that most regular travelers don't easily use their movement techniques to gain that crucial time difference!

"Yes!" Without any further words, the two trusted aides shouted and immediately dispersed like ghosts, disappearing from different directions at top speed. Clearly, they had used some kind of secret technique or movement method to deliver this extremely urgent message.

"He's absolutely... a complete idiot! A moron!"

After her confidante disappeared, Senior Sister Lulu could no longer suppress her anger and cursed under her breath.

“I clearly instructed him to act immediately! Yet he managed to let the target swagger back to the dye house unharmed! Back in front of me!”

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and her face turned ashen.

"If Qian had even a shred of brains and paid more attention, he would have realized that the target had already left the Ouyang residence and was on the road! That was the moment when he was most relaxed! He should have decisively taken action to solve the problem! Now look what he's done! He actually put the person right in front of me! Causing me such a huge mess! What a useless piece of trash!"

She blamed all the mistakes on Qian Wu's "incompetence".

The lack of truly capable and efficient "swords" under her command, and the feeling of being constantly hampered, made the self-important senior sister Lulu feel extremely frustrated and angry.

In her view, this was the perfect moment for her to realize her ambitions and seize power!

An excellent opportunity is right in front of you!

How can we let these foolish mistakes hold us back!

Just as she was feeling troubled, a very subtle mental fluctuation, like the finest yet most resilient spider silk, quietly probed her.

Senior Sister Lulu's expression changed slightly!

All anger towards Qian Wu and worry about the plan possibly being thwarted were temporarily suppressed!
Because that's...

This is a message from Lord Jing, who is also the First Prince!
Before she could even think, her figure blurred and vanished like the wind, instantly disappearing into a private, quiet room deep within the inner hall.

As her dealings with the Crown Prince deepened and a substantial alliance was established, their interests became inextricably linked, making any move by one of them have far-reaching consequences.

This is also one of the core reasons why Lulu's huge ambition grew and burned brightly in her heart!

Because she truly felt that the high position she once looked up to, the position where she could realize her ambitions and rewrite the rules, was now within reach and easily attainable!
Senior Sister Lulu never felt that she was inferior to others; she was Lord Tang's most favored disciple!
She is... the true hope for the future of the Juemen! In the name of inheriting Lord Tang's last wish, she will fulfill Lord Tang's dream and achieve a truly... world without demons!
All the plans and actions we've taken so far are just the first step toward that ultimate goal!
At such a crucial initial stage, which is related to the future destiny of the nation, no link can be lost!

She must go all out, control every detail, gather the power that truly belongs to her, and make thorough preparations!

However, at this moment, her entire mind was occupied by Lord Jing's contact and the Crown Prince's affairs, and she was completely unaware of the target she had just ordered to be intercepted.

After leaving the dyehouse, they did not immediately embark on the journey back to the Ouyang residence, but instead quietly turned back.

Like the most skilled hunter, taking advantage of the complex architecture and the drying cloths inside the dye house, they made an extremely well-hidden detour and circled back to the depths of the dye house.

They arrived at the door of a room, which was none other than Elder Yan Jin's residence. *Knock knock knock*

Three perfectly timed knocks, neither abrupt nor jarring, were heard clearly entering the room.

"Come in."

Elder Yan Jin's slightly weathered yet steady voice came from inside the room.

Fang Yu immediately pushed the door open and entered, and at the same time, he naturally closed and locked the door behind him in one smooth motion.

"Elder Yan Jin."

Looking at the elderly man sitting cross-legged before him, Fang Yu respectfully bowed. This respect was not merely a superficial formality; it genuinely contained a sincerity completely different from that he showed to Lulu.

Compared to the purely platonic, even dangerous, relationship with Senior Sister Lulu, at least Fang Yu and Elder Yan Jin had fought side by side and gone through the life-or-death test at the sect together.

This unspoken understanding and affection, forged in blood and fire, is a touch of warmth amidst the cold calculations.

Without Elder Yan Jin's strong support at that time, he would probably have been in grave danger.

"You kid,"

Elder Yan Jin raised his eyelids, his gaze sweeping over Fang Yu with lightning speed, a faint smile playing on his lips. "You came to see me so sneakily, didn't anyone with ulterior motives see you?"

He was clearly referring to Senior Sister Lulu.

Although the two joined forces in the Zongfu and their relationship has most likely been exposed, they still need to keep it a secret.

If the other party is unaware of this, this apparent "opposition" can actually serve as a strong shield to protect the private cooperation.

"Rest assured, Elder,"

Fang Yu smiled, his tone confident in his own agility, "I know my limits. Elder Yan Jin, do you perhaps not trust my abilities?"

In front of Elder Yan Jin, Fang Yu appeared more relaxed and natural, and his words were less stiff than when he was with Lulu.

He paused briefly, without exchanging many pleasantries or formalities.

He knew Elder Yan Jin was straightforward and that he wasn't there just for idle chatter.

He then cut to the chase, directly asking the core purpose of his trip: "By the way, Elder Yan Jin, may I be so bold as to ask, how much do you know about the 'Thousand-Year Seeker' Hall Master of the Foolish Underworld?"

Qian Jinxun's techniques and memories brought him many insights, making him want to gain a deeper understanding of this set of techniques.

"Qian Jinxun?" Elder Yan Jin pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then shook his head slightly.

"I've heard the name a few times, but I don't know much about it. Our Juemen sect has never focused on the capital, a place teeming with danger, and we rarely get involved in its affairs. This time, we've been ordered to come, which is already an exception."

This answer was not beyond Fang Yu's expectations.

Fang Yu was not discouraged and immediately raised a deeper and more crucial question: "So, Elder, have you ever been familiar with the 'Pure Blazing Sun Heart Sutra,' the secret martial art of the Foolish Underworld, or do you understand its mysteries?"

He turned his expectant gaze toward Elder Yan Jin.

After all, the Pure Blazing Sun Heart Sutra is also a top-tier fire-based cultivation technique. Although the specific methods are different from those of Elder Yan Jin's cultivation technique, they are both based on fire and must have some commonalities.

If he could learn from this Sixth Soul Realm expert's insights into the Dao of Fire, it would undoubtedly be of great help in digesting and absorbing Qian Jinxun's experience!
"Hehehe..." Elder Yan Jin suddenly let out a few low but hearty laughs, his eyes filled with a knowing understanding of everything.

"I knew you sneaked over here, you must have some ulterior motives! Sure enough, the first thing you said was that you were after these good things!"

A hint of amusement appeared on his face as he stroked his beard and said frankly, "This 'Pure Blazing Sun Heart Sutra'... I have indeed only heard of it by name, but have never personally witnessed its method, nor have I had the opportunity to spar with its practitioners. As for the specific intricacies of the technique and its power, it is truly... difficult to describe in detail!"

A sense of disappointment rose in Fang Yu's heart.

Although he has completely inherited all of Qian Jinxun's cultivation memories, insights and understanding of the "Pure Blazing Sun Heart Sutra", his proficiency in this technique is probably more thorough and clear than Qian Jinxun himself was in life, almost reaching the point of perfection and self-taught mastery.

However, there is a crucial point: Qian Jinxun spent his entire life trying to break through the Six Souls Realm.

If a Sixth Soul Realm expert could offer some guidance, perhaps one could gain a deeper understanding of this cultivation technique.

The elder in front of us, who seemed indifferent to everything and even a bit "laid-back," was actually a true Six Souls Realm expert who had crossed that insurmountable barrier!
Even though Elder Yan Jin claimed that he had only barely broken through that threshold and become the so-called "Six Souls Gatekeeper", and that his martial arts skills had long since become rusty and that, according to him, it would be difficult to make any further progress, the words "Six Souls" themselves represented a fundamental difference!

It is a leap forward in terms of life level and power!
In the eyes of such a higher level of powerhouse, the "angle" and "depth" of their understanding of cultivation techniques, the flow of Qi, and even the essence of power are unimaginable to those who have not yet reached this level!

If one can receive guidance, cultivation experience, and insights in this area, one should benefit greatly!
Seeing the undisguised disappointment on Fang Yu's face, Elder Yan Jin's eyes flashed slightly. Then, as if remembering something, he stroked his white beard, revealing a thoughtful and proud expression of a senior expert.

"Kid, disappointed?"

A slight smile played on his lips. "Although my knowledge of the 'Pure Sun Heart Sutra' is limited..."

His tone was drawn out, implying that "what you're looking for is actually right here."

"But I know exactly what the intricacies of the 'Overlord Fire Extinguishing Skill' is, how many obstacles and dangers it involves, and how many insights I've gained from practicing it my whole life!"

He straightened his back, and the confidence and imposing aura of a sixth-level expert faintly emanated from him.

"This is a genuine cultivation technique for the threshold of the Six Souls Realm! I can use my insights from years of cultivation to explain it to you properly. I dare not say I can help you reach the heavens in one step,"

Elder Yan Jin stared intently at Fang Yu, "But I guarantee it will touch you and give you something! This isn't something everyone is qualified to hear!"

His proud expression carried a sense of solemnity.

If he hadn't confirmed Fang Yu's amazing talent and huge potential, and if the two of them had gone through the same experience and established a foundation of trust, he would never have easily revealed these core insights to an "outsider" who had not yet officially joined the Absolute Sect!

This is the true value of the phrase "six souls"!
