My CEO Bai Fumei’s wife

By the time his deputy's attention shifted to the next person, Qin Yu had already blended into the crowd at the exit.

The streets were filled with monks who had just come from the auction, chatting in twos and threes about the prices of the items they had just bought, and no one gave him a second glance.

Meng Qianyun waited at the bottom of the steps of the main gate of Wanbaoge. After meeting up with Qin Yu, the two did not head towards the city gate, but instead turned into the most prosperous street in Tianshu City.

"You shall not leave the city."

"Why go out of the city? The safest place in the whole city is also the liveliest place."

Tingyuxuan is one of the top three red-roofed buildings in Tianshu City. The three-story wooden building is covered with red lanterns, and two rows of heavily made-up maids stand at the entrance. The lowest level of their cultivation is at least at the peak of Qi Refining.

Qin Yu took out 100 spirit crystals and slapped them on the counter, reserving the largest private room on the third floor.

The shopkeeper was a round-faced, chubby man. When he saw the 100 spirit crystals, he bent over like a shrimp and personally led the three of them upstairs, talking non-stop along the way.

"This gentleman is clearly a big businessman. The top-class private room on the third floor has the finest spirit wine and immortal fruits prepared. Would you like to order two more girls to serve you?"

"No need. Close the door. No one is allowed to come in without my permission."

As soon as the door closed, Qin Yu took out the Nine Ghost Pagoda from his waist, and Ye Qingxue and Kui Wu were released one after the other.

As soon as Kui Wu landed, he squatted in a corner to guard his sister. Kui Hong was still lying in the inner space of the Spirit Tower, and Ye Qingxue's spiritual energy had never been interrupted.

Qin Yu handed the Soul Purifying Elixir to Ye Qingxue.

"You know the usage better than I do. First, stabilize the three cracks in your soul. We can talk about the meridians later."

Ye Qingxue's hand trembled as she took the bottle, not because she was nervous, but because she could sense that the quality of this spiritual liquid far surpassed any soul cultivation elixir she had ever seen.

Meng Qianyun stood at the window and glanced out. The street was bustling with people as usual, but she knew that this tranquility wouldn't last long.

"The people at Wanbaoge will check the inventory records of the auction items first thing tomorrow morning. The fake bottle you replaced might fool the initial inspection at most, but it will be exposed when the flower fairy's spiritual energy dissipates during the detailed inspection."

"This young master only needs one night."

"What can you do in one night?"

"Enough to save a life."

Inside the Spirit Tower, Ye Qingxue divided the Soul Purifying Liquid into three portions. The first portion was poured into Kui Hong's Baihui acupoint, and the liquid transformed into silver threads that burrowed into the cracks in Kui Hong's shattered soul.

Kui Wu knelt silently to the side, his fists, as big as earthenware pots, gripping the bricks on the ground so tightly that his fingernails dug into them.

Three years.

His sister was tortured like an animal at Demon Locking Peak for three years, subjected to bloodletting, forced dual cultivation, beatings, and verbal abuse; not a single day of her life was human.

After the first dose of spiritual liquid was poured in, Kui Hong's eyebrows twitched slightly.

As the second dose was being administered, her fingers began to twitch, and she let out a faint moan.

After the third dose was finished, most of Ye Qingxue's spiritual energy had been drained, and the flower fairy's hair turned from green to withered yellow.

But Kui Hong's eyelids twitched.

Kui Wu's breathing paused for two beats. He dared not make a sound, afraid of waking up from this moment he had been waiting for for three years.

Then Kui Hong opened her eyes.

Those eyes were initially empty, like a mirror without light; three years of hell had burned away everything in her pupils.

But when her gaze fell on Kui Wu's face, the first crack finally appeared in that mirror.

"elder brother."

A single word, as light as the wind blowing through the tips of grass.

Kui Wu fell forward as if his bones had been removed, his forehead hitting the ground and his shoulders trembling violently.

He didn't cry out loud because he was afraid of scaring his sister.

Qin Yu stood outside the Spirit Tower, his back to the scene, toying with the jade slip that was a replica of the Western Underworld Secret Records catalog in his hand.

He had read the fourteenth item in the jade slip three times: Netherworld Island, the place where the Soul-Returning Immortal Herb is produced, the core area of ​​the third defense line of the Demon God Clan, where two ninth-rank great demons are stationed year-round, and a perception array is set up on the outer perimeter covering a hundred miles of sea.

Two ninth-grade demons are comparable to early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators in terms of combat power. For him to force his way in with his current cultivation level would be tantamount to suicide.

But the last ingredient on the prescription was the Resurrection Herb, and Grandpa and Phoenix had been lying in the Spirit Tower waiting for far too long. Kui Hong's voice came from the inner layer of the Spirit Tower, broken and intermittent, as if three years' worth of words had suddenly become stuck in her throat.

“Brother, those people said you wouldn’t come to save me, and I believed them. I thought you were killed by them too.”

Kui Wu's voice was even hoarser than hers.

"Who said that? Your brother is still alive. He brought the boss with him. Those beasts are all dead."

"Who is the boss?"

"The person who saved your life, you must call him your benefactor from now on."

Qin Yu didn't turn around, but he heard Kui Hong's next sentence.

“Brother, benefactor, I heard you.”

Her voice suddenly became much clearer, no longer weak and feeble; the Soul Purifying Elixir was working.

"The woman who bought the Qingfeng Sword smelled of Soul-Eating Insects; she was looking for a special soul entity."

Qin Yu turned around.

"How do you know about the Qingfeng Sword?"

"When I was on the sixth level of Demon Locking Peak, there was a human cultivator imprisoned next to me. He was an intelligence broker captured by the Heavenly Mystery Sect. Before he died, he told me something."

Kui Hong's pupils finally regained focus, as if he were seeing the world clearly for the first time in three years.

"He said that a sword with three bamboo leaves engraved on it would appear at the auction in Tian Shu City. Wan Bao Ge acquired the sword from a bandit in Yan Long Prefecture, but the person who actually wanted to use the sword to fish was not Wan Bao Ge."

Who is it?

"The people of the Divine Path Sect, their sect leader is named Meng Hanbing, who specializes in the study of divine souls and soul-devouring techniques. She is looking for something called the Reincarnation Soul Body."

When the words "reincarnation soul body" hit Qin Yu's ears, his fingers paused on the edge of the jade slip for three breaths.

Yan Mingyu is the Reincarnation Empress.

Huang Lingtian is the Reincarnation Martial Emperor.

Both of these people are connected to reincarnation. If Meng Hanbing is looking for a reincarnated soul, then her target is most likely one of these two people.

However, Huang Lingtian had already been crippled. His soul was severely damaged after Kui Wu finished dealing with him, and his memories of reincarnation were most likely shattered as well.

The only person Meng Hanbing could be looking for is Yan Mingyu.

"Are you sure that information broker was referring to the Shinto Sect?"

"I'm sure, because when he said that, he had already been half-eaten by the Soul-Eating Worms and didn't have the strength to lie."

After saying this, Kui Hong closed her eyes. The effects of the Soul Cleansing Elixir put her body into a self-repairing state, requiring at least six hours of rest.

Qin Yu walked to the window, his gaze passing through the gaps in the red lanterns and landing in the direction of the Wanbaoge headquarters in the distance.

Dream of Ice.

The leader of the Shinto Sect.

He bought the Qingfeng Sword for 3,000 spirit crystals in the VIP room on the third floor.

She wasn't trying to hook up with Xue Sha; she was trying to hook up with the person behind the Qingfeng Sect, because the founder of the Qingfeng Sect, Qin Yu, and the Reincarnation Empress Yan Mingyu were husband and wife.

Once this thread is connected, the danger level of the whole affair more than doubles.

Qin Weier and Xue Fengyin were in Yanlong Prefecture. They brought the magic weapon of Qingfeng Sect to the Martial Emperor Continent. A sword was intercepted by bandits, who sold it to Wanbaoge. Wanbaoge's channels were infiltrated by Shendao Sect. Meng Hanbing followed the sword and found clues about Qingfeng Sect.

If Meng Hanbing follows this line back, she will find Qin Weier and the others next.

Qin Yu placed his hand on his storage ring, which contained a communication jade talisman that could be used to contact Zhou Yaoyun.

But he didn't use it.

Because the communication network is operated by Wanbaoge, using it now is tantamount to directly reporting one's location to Wanbaoge. (End of Chapter)
