Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 62 Finding the Reason

at the same time.

Yu Changsheng has already arrived in Haoyue City.

Perhaps because he was disguised as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he did not encounter any enemies on the way.

"That old man from the Yu family is really something! He killed that prodigy from the Chen family with a single sword strike, scaring Second Master Chen so much that he ran away without even bothering to collect the body!"

"Hehe, Yu Tairan was already famous in Haoyue City a hundred years ago. It's just that he has been in seclusion for too long, so you juniors don't know how powerful he is. If it weren't for his mixed spiritual roots, he would have been able to establish his foundation long ago."

"However, the Yu family and the Chen family are now sworn enemies. No matter how strong Yu Tairan is, his magical power is limited. If the Chen family's peak-stage Third Qi Refining experts come to their door one day, how will he be able to defeat them?"

"So, you're saying you don't think highly of the Yu family?"

"That's for sure. Otherwise, why wouldn't the Wei family help? Yu Tairan is getting old after all. He can repel an enemy with a single sword strike, but to wipe out the Chen family's peak third-level Qi Refining cultivator is extremely difficult."

"If Yu Tairan were younger, he might have a chance, but now that he hasn't reached the Foundation Establishment stage, if he goes out to fight enemies, what awaits him is the exhaustion of his lifespan or death at the hands of the Chen family."

"The Chen family can afford to wait, but the Yu family can't."

In the nearby restaurant, several cultivators who had been watching the play were discussing amongst themselves.

Yu Changsheng arrived here before his grandfather took action, and was originally thinking about how to resolve the crisis and make the Chen family retreat.

As a result, they witnessed that peerless sword strike together with these cultivators.

"The Chen family."

Yu Changsheng put down his wine glass and silently left the restaurant. As darkness fell, he evaded the eyes of others and arrived at the family compound.

"Who?"

As he entered the hall through Shadow Flash, a sharp gaze swept over him from inside.

"It's me, Grandpa," Yu Changsheng quickly dropped his disguise and bowed.

The person standing in front was Yu Tairan, who was guarding the family, followed by his father Yu Chenghe and his uncle Yu Zhiguo.

"Chang Sheng, you shouldn't have come back." Yu Chenghe sighed with some sorrow when he saw him.

"Father, how can I sit idly by when the family is in trouble?" Yu Changsheng said with a smile.

Beside him, Yu Zhiguo lowered his head, clearly having just been scolded by his younger brother and father, and looked embarrassed.

Upon hearing Yu Changsheng's words, Yu Tairan looked at him with curiosity.

Despite his peak Qi Refining realm, he was unable to see through Yu Changsheng's true strength, and he didn't even notice how Yu Changsheng had entered.

"Chang Sheng, I just heard about your situation from Cheng He. It seems you've grown a lot over the years," Yu Tairan said with a smile. "Come in, don't stand at the door."

"Yes, Grandpa." Yu Changsheng followed into the hall, where there were many people, all of whom were his elders or important direct descendants.

Yu Chang'ao was among them. Upon seeing him, he clearly remembered the matter of borrowing spirit stones before, and turned his head away with a grim expression.

Yu Tairan sat in the main seat and glanced at the three generations of direct descendants of the family.

His gaze lingered on Yu Changsheng for a moment, but he didn't ask anything. Instead, he spoke.

"I don't know what's wrong with the Chen family, but this time it concerns the life and death of the Yu family. Since we've already become enemies, we should find a way to resolve it."

What are your thoughts?

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall exchanged glances.

Some of them were ordinary people without spiritual roots, while others were cultivators at the third to fifth level of Qi Refining. They usually obeyed orders, but now, after being questioned by Yu Tairan, they seemed to have lost their backbone and were at a loss.

"Grandpa, the Chen family has three peak Qi Refining experts. If you were to take action, could you eliminate them? Can we defeat them?" Yu Chang'ao suddenly asked.

This is also the point that everyone else is most concerned about, because Yu Tairan's previous sword strike gave them enough confidence. If every sword strike is like that, destroying the Chen family seems to be a piece of cake.

Unlike the others, Yu Tairan was not confident that he could destroy the Chen family. Instead, after taking a sip of tea, he said, "I can't destroy them."

These three words struck everyone like a thunderbolt, turning their faces instantly pale and causing them to whisper amongst themselves.

"So what do we do?"

"No one but my grandfather can defeat a peak Qi Refining cultivator, let alone other Qi Refining cultivators in the Chen family!"

"How about we go and negotiate with the Chen family? We lost two cultivators, while they only lost one. As long as the negotiations go well, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

"Yes, yes, we can also involve the Wei family and have them act as peacemakers."

I calmly observed the myriad expressions of the people.

He turned his head to look at Yu Chang'ao, a hint of disappointment flashing deep in his eyes.

Of the three generations of disciples, he had only favored Yu Chang'ao in the past, as Yu Chang'ao had a better spiritual root than Yu Changsheng and was also talented in swordsmanship.

So he gave him special guidance back then and shared his insights on swordsmanship. However, years have passed and his swordsmanship has not improved, and his temperament is not as good as others.

"I'm afraid the Yu family won't produce anyone stronger than me."

Yu Tairan sighed inwardly.

In reality, he didn't care about the Chen family. If he couldn't win, couldn't he just run away? The situation was dire, so he would just move to Dongyang City with his direct descendants.

At worst, he could storm the Chen family alone, then abandon his family and seek to establish his foundation.

Unless the Chen family is insane, they would never wipe out his entire family. Otherwise, they would have to worry day and night about him successfully establishing his foundation outside.

"Releasing is probably the only way to save the family right now."

Yu Tairan was very disappointed with his junior, then suddenly noticed Yu Changsheng, who was deep in thought beside him, and recalled the scene just now.

He asked, "Chang Sheng, what do you think?"

Seeing this, Yu Changsheng stepped forward and said, "Grandpa, I think we should take the initiative, but it would be best to figure out the reasons behind this matter first."

"We have never had any enmity with the Chen family. Their sudden targeting of us might be orchestrated by someone to eliminate us completely. Only by finding the root cause can we better resolve this matter."

"Oh?" Yu Tairan smiled and said, "So, what do you plan to do?"

"I sneaked into the city under a disguise. The Chen family probably doesn't know I exist yet. I want to find out about them first."

"Are you confident?"

"Um."

Yu Changsheng nodded vigorously.

Yu Tairan thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll give you five days. If you exceed that time, I will take my direct lineage to Dongyang City first, and then deal with the Chen family slowly."

Yu Changsheng nodded, indicating that he understood.

The meeting in the hall ended quickly. Yu Changsheng handed some healing pills he had bought to his father, then bid farewell and quietly left the Yu family.

When he reappeared, he had arrived at a brothel.

"What would you like to do, sir?" a woman greeted him with a smile.

Wearing a mask, Yu Changsheng calmly said, "Playing with rabbits."

"Playing with rabbits" is the code word here. At first, he didn't believe that a prestigious assassin organization like Dark Currents would set up a base here.

Hopefully, Hsi Wen-yu wouldn't joke about something like this.

The woman immediately stopped smiling and said in a low voice, "This way, please, sir."
