Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 437 Magic
Yu Mingche's calm response to Ying Yaoshi's sarcasm silenced him.

“The people I sent will arrive in the next two days. However, I still think it would be safer for Lord Yu to come to my side. After all, an incompetent general can ruin an entire army. I don’t trust Lord Yu’s abilities.” Ying Yaoshi looked at Yu Mingche with a questioning gaze.

Ying Yaoshi's meaning was clear: he felt that Yu Mingche was not capable of protecting Ning Xuan's safety.

Upon hearing this, Yu Mingche's face darkened, but he did not immediately refute it. After all, Ning Xuan had just been assassinated, and the assassins were sent by extraordinary forces. Yu Mingche was unsure of what other methods they might have up their sleeve, and he dared not claim that he could guarantee Ning Xuan's safety.

“Ying Shuai, I admit that I am not as strong as you, but in a place like the Myriad Meteor Starfield, there are many dangers and harsh environments. How can you protect the safety of the family head? If you are willing to return to the Central Star, the position of master of the house will be given to you immediately. How about it?” Yu Mingche looked at Ying Yaoshi with burning eyes.

Although Yu Mingche is one of the highest-ranking seventh-level governors in the Federation and has a certain understanding of the importance of the Wanyun Starfield battlefield, his foundation is still shallow, and he does not have a clear understanding of the mutual checks and balances between the military led by Ying Yaoshi and the extraordinary forces.

"Yu Mingche, you dare to make decisions like this!" Ning Xuan looked at Yu Mingche with an unfriendly expression, and with a wave of her hand, the intertwined vines brought Yu Mingche to Ning Xuan.

Ning Xuan pulled the vines back and casually draped a coat over Yu Mingche's shoulders.

Yu Mingche finished dressing, walked to Ning Xuan's side, and hugged her. "Patriarch, I'll do anything as long as it's to your advantage."

Yu Mingche initially decided to have an artificial gestational sac implanted, but he never expected that he could successfully complete the fusion of the gestational sac in such a short time and actually conceive. So, in fact, he never thought that he could surpass Ying Yaoshi and become Ning Xuan's husband.

"Marshal, things aren't very peaceful on your end, are they? The people you sent can come directly to Qingluan Mountain, or they can stay elsewhere. I won't interfere too much."

"By the way, this key to the Chaos God Realm has been acting strangely lately. Do you know why?" Ning Xuan opened her hand, and in her heart lay a glittering golden key.

It was the prize from the Alchemist Competition: the key to the Chaos God Realm.

Ying Yaoshi's expression gradually turned serious as he looked at the key in Ning Xuan's hand, which was flashing with lightning from time to time.

“I’ve heard people say before that if a Spirit Controller wants to enter the Transcendent Realm, they must go to the Chaos Temple in the Chaos God Realm. Only by breaking through in the Chaos Temple can one possibly obtain transcendent divine power. And once someone breaks through in the Chaos Temple, the guiding key will react.” Yu Mingche looked at Ying Yaoshi with a strange gaze.

Ying Yaoshi seemed to have thought of something, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

"So, someone broke through to a higher realm in the Chaos Temple? Judging from the flashing lightning, the scene looks quite spectacular. Do you know who it could be?"

“Ying Taihe,” Ying Yaoshi said coldly.

Ning Xuan looked at Ying Yaoshi with some surprise, "What does this surname have to do with you?" "Didn't you kill Ying Taihe?" Yu Mingche blurted out the same question as Ning Xuan asked.

“Heh…” Ying Yaoshi chuckled coldly, his face grim.

“If it really is him, and he enters the Transcendent Realm, then you’re in trouble. I heard that you killed a lot of members of the Ying family back then, and almost wiped them out. If Ying Taihe is not dead and successfully breaks through to the Transcendent Realm, he will definitely come looking for trouble for you,” Yu Mingche said worriedly.

"Master, how many days has this abnormality lasted?" Ying Yaoshi asked Ning Xuan.

“Three days. The first two days there were only occasional flashes of lightning, but today the commotion was particularly loud. The key was flashing almost constantly.” Ning Xuan looked at the key in her hand, which was still flashing with lightning.

Ying Yaoshi frowned upon hearing Ning Xuan's words. The unusual movement of the key alone was not enough to determine whether Ying Taihe had successfully broken through to the next realm. If it weren't for Ning Xuan, he wouldn't be afraid regardless of whether Ying Taihe could break through. However, Ning Xuan was now being targeted by various supernatural forces. If another supernatural being who was hostile to him were to appear, it would undoubtedly be adding insult to injury.

Yu Mingche looked at Ying Yaoshi and asked with some concern, "What exactly happened between you and the Ying family? Back then, Ying Taihe was the marshal of the Pioneer Legion, and he was the one who brought you back from the Chaotic Realm. How did that happen? Is there some misunderstanding? Is there any possibility of reconciliation?"

Ying Yaoshi sneered upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes: "Reconciliation? Ying Taihe brought me back to control me and use evil magic to devour my Ying Snake, in order to help his companion spirit advance to the legendary level. The other members of the Ying family were all in the know, all accomplices."

"No wonder so many people from the Winners died, and the government, the military, and the Council of Elders didn't react much. So there was more to it than meets the eye." Yu Mingche sighed. He had originally thought that Ying Yaoshi was able to become a marshal after committing the crime because the Winners had run out of men and he himself was very powerful. Now it seemed that it wasn't just those two reasons.

Information about that evil technique that can devour companion spirits must not be leaked; otherwise, all the star systems would be thrown into chaos.

Ying Yaoshi cooperated with the government to cover up Ying Taihe's use of evil magic, and he endured the grievances and pressure, which is why he was able to gain the support of the military.

"Is the hidden danger in your companion spirit caused by the influence of evil magic?" Ning Xuan asked.

"Yes." Ying Yaoshi nodded.

"Do you have a way to resolve that hidden danger?" Yu Mingche asked anxiously.

He knew that Ying Yaoshi had been stuck at the top SSS level for quite some time, and theoretically he should have the strength to break through to the Transcendent Realm. If Ying Yaoshi advanced to the Transcendent Realm, they would not be so passive.

"Yes." Ying Yaoshi didn't speak; it was Ning Xuan who said it.

"I don't know if Ying Taihe will succeed, but it seems I have to make a trip to the Chaos God Realm sometime," Ying Yaoshi said.
