Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

In the city lord's palace.

Yu Changsheng sat on the chair in the city lord's mansion. Originally, this seat was where Li Muling always sat, but now he could sit there and see if it was comfortable.

At this moment, Du Xingcai also quickly approached.

Seeing Yu Changsheng's expression, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"How are you? Are you comfortable sitting here?"

Yu Changsheng laughed and said, "The chair is too hard. Li Muling really doesn't know how to enjoy life. If it were me, I would at least use a genuine leather one."

Upon hearing this, Du Xingcai's eyes nearly rolled to the sky.

"Keep bragging, you're really cheeky."

"Enough with the nonsense, the Third Elder has sent someone."

"oh!?"

Yu Changsheng was also surprised. Ever since the Third Elder provided him with support when he attacked Sanling Town last time, he had not contacted him again.

Even when he was about to hand Wang Haitang over to the Third Elder for disposal, the Third Elder did not respond much, only telling Yu Changsheng not to kill Wang Haitang, but to imprison him temporarily.

After that, Elder Chen Pingzhen never sent him any messages.

Yu Changsheng guessed that the struggle between Chen Pingzhen and Wang Donghai had intensified, and Chen Pingzhen probably didn't have much energy to pay attention to Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng asked, "In that case, we must hurry and welcome them. Where are they?"

"It's just outside, it should be here soon."

Just as Yu Changsheng was about to make a move, he saw a beautiful figure approaching with a fragrant breeze.

Chen Xueqing remained unchanged, just as she had been on the day they parted.

But Yu Changsheng discovered that her inner temperament had suddenly changed.

Even his cultivation level was somewhat difficult for Yu Changsheng to discern.

"So it is the Holy Maiden who has graced us with her presence. We apologize for not being able to greet you properly."

Chen Xueqing smiled slightly, "You're too kind. I was the one who came abruptly. I hope you won't take offense."

Du Xingcai watched from the side, surprised that the two seemed to know each other.

Yu Changsheng smiled and said, "The Holy Maiden's presence truly brings honor to this humble abode. I wonder what instructions the Third Elder has given you upon sending the Holy Maiden here?"

Chen Xueqing didn't rush to reveal her purpose, but instead looked around at her surroundings.

"It was no easy feat to capture this place."

"It must have also required the strong support of others."

Yu Changsheng laughed and said, "Of course. Without the support of the Third Elder, and the help of Elder Wu and the Du and Xie families, it would have been impossible to take this place."

Only then did Chen Xueqing turn to Du Xingcai and ask, "Who is this younger sister?"

Yu Changsheng quickly began to explain.

"Hehe, look at my brain, I almost forgot."

"This is Du Xingcai, the current nominal patriarch of the Du family."

"This is Chen Xueqing, the current true Holy Maiden of Sea Beast Heavenly Island, who overpowered the other ten Holy Sons and Holy Maidens to become the leader of the Holy Land Secret Realm."

Du Xingcai looked at Chen Xueqing with a wary expression, and only nodded slightly to her.

"This disciple greets the Holy Maiden."

Although Du Xingcai is a member of the Du family and not a member of the Sea Beast Sky Island sect.

However, as long as it is within the sphere of influence of the Sea Beast Heavenly Island, all sects and families, large and small, are nominally still considered to belong to the Sea Beast Heavenly Island.

The Holy Maiden of Sea Beast Heavenly Island is essentially the Holy Maiden of all sects and families, large and small.

Therefore, Chen Xueqing's current status means she can practically do whatever she wants in the entire North Sea region.

Even Du Xingcai paled in comparison to Chen Xueqing's status.

Chen Xueqing nodded slightly.

"Sister Du, it is thanks to your assistance that Yu Changsheng was able to make such a great contribution to the Third Elder this time."

"Yu Changsheng?"

Du Xingcai turned around and looked at him. "Zhou Wangzhi, what do you mean? Who is Yu Changsheng?"

Chen Xueqing smiled slightly. Although Yu Changsheng was still wearing a mask, she was quite familiar with his physique.

After all, they had spent a long time together in that sacred and secret realm, and already knew each other very well.

Therefore, even if they are wearing masks, they can still be recognized at a glance.

However, to this day, Yu Changsheng still has not revealed his identity to Du Xingcai directly, because there is no real need for it.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xueqing revealed her identity as soon as she arrived.

This left Yu Changsheng feeling quite helpless.

Chen Xueqing said, "It seems you haven't revealed your true identity to Sister Du yet, which is really inappropriate."

Yu Changsheng smiled wryly as he removed the mask from his face, then explained:

"As you have heard, my real name is Yu Changsheng, and I am a disciple of the Myriad Manifestations Sect."

"I only fled here under an assumed name because I was being hunted down by the Second Elder."

"I dare not easily reveal my identity, which is truly out of necessity. Once my identity is exposed..."

"A disciple of the Myriad Manifestations Sect dared to lay a hand on the Second Elder's son. If that happened, my Myriad Manifestations Sect would surely suffer annihilation."

"This is something I absolutely dare not accept easily, which is why I have had to keep my name hidden all this time."

Upon hearing this, Du Xingcai merely snorted coldly and then left the place.

"Ugh."

Yu Changsheng was about to reach out to stop her, but Chen Xueqing cleverly blocked him.

Chen Xueqing also tried to stop Du Xingcai, but missed.

"Sister Du."

Du Xingcai had already left.

Chen Xueqing then turned around and looked at Yu Changsheng.

"Sigh, Sister Du is also angry that you have been hiding things from her. After all, she has entrusted her life and fortune to you, but you have not told her the truth. She gave her sincerity but was deceived by you, so it is no wonder that she is angry."

"But once you've figured it out, I'm sure Sister Du will understand you."

Yu Changsheng smiled wryly, "If all women in the world were as knowledgeable and reasonable as the Holy Maiden, that would be wonderful."

Yu Changsheng was at a loss. If he chased after her, he couldn't leave the Holy Maiden here; that would be against etiquette.

Unfortunately, I have no choice but to deal with them one by one.

"May I ask what brings the Holy Maiden here today?"

Chen Xueqing slowly sat down and said, "The Third Elder sent me here this time, partly to check on the situation here and see if you need any other assistance."

"On the other hand, we are also preparing to have you lead people to launch an attack on the Second Elder from another direction."

"Now, the Third Elder has gained a slight advantage in the competition between the Second Elder and the Third Elder. The Third Elder believes that it is the right time to launch an attack."

"I hope you can cooperate with the Third Elder in this regard and take action against the Second Elder."

Yu Changsheng asked, "In that case, what does the Third Elder intend for me to do?"

Chen Xueqing took out a map of the entire Sea Beast Sky Island territory.

The entire territory of the Sea Beast Sky Island almost covers most of the North Sea, making it an extremely terrifying behemoth.

The main forces on the entire Sea Beast Sky Island are now controlled by the Third Elder and the Second Elder.

Of course, a small portion of the Sea Beast Sky Island was also held by other elders. After all, there were dozens of elders of all sizes on the Sea Beast Sky Island, and it was impossible for all the territory to be occupied by just two elders. In addition to being subordinate to the two elders, many elders were also independent of the two elders and each had their own territory.

The territory of the Second Elder, Wang Donghai, is mainly concentrated in the eastern part of the Sea Beast Sky Island, while Sanling Town, located in the center of the Sea Beast Sky Island, is naturally a key hub.

It is also possible to use this place to directly attack the heart of the Second Elder's territory and pose a great threat.

Chen Xueqing also told Yu Changsheng that the Second Elder had long planned to reclaim this place.

The reason for the delay in taking action was also out of concern for Wang Haitang's life. In addition, the Third Elder had delayed the Second Elder's efforts, which meant that the Second Elder could not spare much manpower to attack this place.

However, this doesn't mean the Second Elders will ignore this place; they may have already been plotting against it.

Therefore, the Third Elder decided that rather than waiting to be killed, it would be better to have Yu Changsheng lead a portion of the forces to take the initiative and launch an attack.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

The Second Elders also took the opportunity to intervene and restrain the Third Elder's support. Yu Changsheng was also able to take this opportunity to gain more benefits.

After hearing this, Yu Changsheng frowned and began to think. The plan seemed feasible, but it would also involve huge risks for Yu Changsheng.

This is tantamount to sending him with a group of people to directly infiltrate the Second Elder's forces through Sanling Town and cause trouble.

It was said that the Third Elder was responsible for restraining the main force, allowing him to take the opportunity to infiltrate the Second Elder's faction and reap benefits.

In fact, the same applies when viewed from the opposite perspective.

It is quite possible that Yu Changsheng's small force actually tied down most of the Second Elder's attention, giving the Third Elder an opportunity.

Chen Xueqing said, "The Third Elder understands the risks of this trip, so he will provide you with great assistance. He can provide you with anything you need."

"I will also assist you on this trip. Once it's successful, you'll be the number one contributor."

Yu Changsheng replied, "How could the Holy Maiden possibly risk such a dangerous mission herself?"

However, Chen Xueqing said:

"I requested to participate in this trip, even though I have now rightfully become the true Holy Maiden of the Sea Beast Heavenly Island."

"But to this day, I have not made any substantial contribution to the Sea Beast Sky Island, so this operation is also my opportunity."

"Besides, Sea Beast Sky Island can't just put you at huge risks. I'm doing this to show you Sea Beast Sky Island's determination. This operation will definitely succeed."

Seeing this, what could Yu Changsheng say? If he refused again, he feared that his Myriad Manifestations Sect would no longer be able to stay on the Sea Beast Heavenly Island.

The Holy Maiden is willing to take on huge risks with you to carry out the mission. If Yu Changsheng is ungrateful, how will he explain himself?

Left with no other choice, Yu Changsheng could only nod in agreement.

Chen Xueqing immediately smiled as well.

"In this way, you and I can work together again, and I believe we will be able to complete Grandpa's mission."

"This time, I also brought some Nascent Soul cultivators from my family, and together with Uncle Lin, there are four of us to assist you."

Yu Changsheng nodded. With so many experts, there was naturally no problem.

It would be more than enough even for some small or medium-sized families on the other side.

Seeing that the matter had been settled, Yu Changsheng did not ask any further questions.

He couldn't help but glance at Chen Xueqing a few more times, and his gaze froze for a couple of seconds.

Chen Xueqing noticed Yu Changsheng's unusual behavior and blushed.

"What are you looking at?"

Yu Changsheng was taken aback, then realized what he meant. "Ahem, I'm really sorry. I've sensed something different since the Holy Maiden arrived. It seems that the Holy Maiden has changed since we parted last time."

Chen Xueqing also smiled and said, "Your eyes are indeed very sharp."

"Since the end of the last Holy Land Secret Realm, I have been in seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and I have now achieved the Nascent Soul realm."

Yu Changsheng suddenly realized why he had always had this strange feeling.

"Hehe, congratulations to the Holy Maiden! Now that you have broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, your strength has reached a new level."

Chen Xueqing, no longer wanting to be polite with Yu Changsheng, stood up and said:

"I've come here but haven't had a chance to visit Uncle Lin yet, so I'll take my leave now."

Yu Changsheng naturally got up to see him off. After seeing him off, he remembered that he still needed to comfort Du Xingcai.

After all, he would inevitably need Chen Xueqing's help to complete the mission later.

Yu Changsheng immediately went outside and asked the guards at the door which direction Du Xingcai had gone before chasing after him.

After searching and asking around, they finally spotted Du Xingcai by a small river outside the city.

To Yu Changsheng's amusement and exasperation, the woman was actually eating grilled fish by the river, whether she was angry and hungry or something else.

He was still squatting on the ground, staring blankly at a grilled fish.

Seeing this, Yu Changsheng didn't know whether he should disturb them or not.

Upon hearing footsteps behind him, Du Xingcai immediately stood up.

He shouted angrily, "How come it's you!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, how could she not know that he was approaching with her divine sense?

It was clear that they deliberately didn't notice, only realizing it after Yu Changsheng got close.

Yu Changsheng smiled and said, "I kept what happened before from you. It was indeed wrong of me. Since that's the case, I'm willing to accept the punishment."

"Tell me, how do you plan to punish me? I will absolutely not refuse and will follow your orders."

Seeing Yu Changsheng's attitude, Du Xingcai finally revealed a wicked smile.

"Hmph, you seem quite sincere, but do you think a casual apology is enough to make me forgive you?"

"You're dreaming."

Du Xingcai looked around, glanced at the river, and said:

"In that case, go and catch some fish for me."

"Catching fish?"

Yu Changsheng looked at the small fish in the river. For a Purple Mansion cultivator like him, what was so difficult about catching a fish?

Could it be that Du Xingcai intends to let me off so easily?

Yu Changsheng immediately realized that this woman was definitely not that simple.

Based on Yu Changsheng's understanding of her, he suspected there was some other hidden agenda behind the scenes.

"Is it really that simple, just catching a fish?"

Du Xingcai scoffed, "Of course it's not that easy. First of all, you can't use magic. You have to grab it with your own hands."

"And I'll only be satisfied if I catch at least ten of them."

Yu Changsheng: "It's not that simple after all, but catching only ten fish isn't too much to ask. Okay, I agree!" (End of Chapter)
