Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law

Chapter 571 - 569: Sea Spirit Saintess: Fight! Fight! The Celestial Palace’s Predicament

Seeing Xiao Yudie arrive with her people, the gaze the Yuanyang Saint Son cast toward Lu Ye grew even more oppressive.

"This Saint Son has always felt that when walking the world, one should recognize one’s own standing. The more friends you have, the more paths are open... Sea Spirit Saintess, what do you think?"

The just-arrived Sea Spirit Saintess glanced at Lu Ye, whose expression was still indifferent, and hurriedly waved her hand.

"Nothing to do with me. I’m not getting involved in your business."

What kind of joke was that?

Ever since that suspicion surfaced in her heart, when Xiao Yudie looked at Lu Ye now, aside from curiosity, there was a faint trace of fear.

If he really had only just advanced to the Celestial Realm, and he was the one who triggered that multicolored auspicious cloud...

Then right now, this man would only be even more terrifying than before!

She was absolutely not going to wade into this muddy water when she herself didn’t even know what was going on.

This damned Yuanyang Saint Son actually wanted to drag her down with him.

Seeing the Sea Spirit Hall Saintess hurriedly distance herself, the Yuanyang Saint Son’s brows furrowed slightly.

He had thought that, although there was some competition between himself and Xiao Yudie, they both hailed from the Boundless Sea, so their relationship should be somewhat closer no matter what.

He hadn’t expected Xiao Yudie to actually choose to stay out of it.

But thinking of how Xiao Yudie had, after all, lost once to this Chen Beixuan before, it was understandable she didn’t want to be enemies with Chen Beixuan right now.

The Yuanyang Saint Son nodded and said, "Since the Sea Spirit Saintess says so, this Saint Son can understand. It’s just that, Fellow Daoist Chen, for a single Celestial Cyan Spirit Lotus Seed... you really aren’t willing to give this Saint Son a discount?"

Only then did Xiao Yudie realize it was actually over the Spiritual Lotus Seeds.

Good thing she hadn’t spoken rashly. Although she hadn’t had much contact with this Chen Beixuan, Xiao Yudie had a faint feeling that this was the kind of man who... yields to softness, not to force.

Right now the Yuanyang Saint Son clearly felt that, because of his noble birth, he could look down in his bones on so-called geniuses from these little backwater places.

"This is not that kind of ordinary genius..." This thought flashed through Xiao Yudie’s mind, and she decided to quietly watch from the side and eat melon seeds.

"I already said, that’s the price. Whether it’s fair or not, Saint Son knows in his own heart. If you think the price is too high, then don’t trade. I won’t force a sale." Lu Ye’s tone still showed no fluctuations.

"Very well. It seems Fellow Daoist Chen thinks he won’t be coming to the Boundless Sea in the future, and won’t be dealing with my Yuanyang Palace either."

The Yuanyang Saint Son’s expression turned cold. "In that case, it seems this exchange cannot be concluded."

Hearing this, Lu Ye no longer had any desire to tangle with him over this matter.

This Yuanyang Saint Son clearly wanted to use his status to force Lu Ye into taking out a Celestial Cyan Spirit Lotus Seed for him at a very low price.

But Lu Ye had never yielded on such things.

Resources he had fought for himself—how could he hand them over just because someone applied a little pressure?

The Sea Spirit Hall Saintess watched from the side, and actually felt a faint sense of expectation in her heart... hoping these two would start fighting.

Ever since the last time the Yuanyang Palace Saint Son came and heard that she had lost to Chen Beixuan and had been forced to concede, the Yuanyang Saint Son back then had seemed... somewhat disdainful?

So Xiao Yudie guessed that the Yuanyang Palace Saint Son might already have surpassed her.

But when it came down to a real fight, Xiao Yudie realized she still favored Chen Beixuan more.

Unfortunately, although the Yuanyang Palace Saint Son’s plan to freeload a Celestial Cyan Spirit Lotus Seed had failed, he had no intention of making a move right now.

"What a pity, they didn’t fight." Xiao Yudie couldn’t help feeling a faint sense of regret in her heart.

She was purely here to watch the show now and wasn’t afraid of things getting big at all.

Besides...

In fact, if the Yuanyang Palace Saint Son did make a move and ended up losing, that would be good for her as well.

The two of them were heaven’s chosen whose fame in the Boundless Sea was about the same. Right now Xiao Yudie alone had lost to Chen Beixuan from the Northern Territory; it didn’t sound good. But if both of them lost...

Then when she returned to the Sea Spirit Hall, she’d have an explanation: not only did she lose, the Yuanyang Palace Saint Son also lost—the other side was really strong!

Lu Ye had no idea that the Xiao Yudie who had hurried over was harboring such scheming little thoughts, planning to wait for the Yuanyang Palace Saint Son to also be beaten up by him and become just like her.

The Yuanyang Saint Son’s eyes were slightly gloomy. When he looked around now, he kept feeling that the gazes of those cultivators held a hint of "watching a show" toward him.

After all, the other side had refused to give him any face.

But the Yuanyang Saint Son also knew that if he used this as a pretext to attack, he’d appear somewhat in the wrong.

Someone doesn’t want to trade a Celestial Cyan Spirit Lotus Seed at a low price, and you attack them over it? Saying that out loud wouldn’t sound good.

So the Yuanyang Saint Son could only endure for the time being.

"Don’t let this Saint Son find some other opportunity... otherwise, I am not some Celestial Realm Second Layer like Xiao Yudie!" he muttered in his heart, a sharp glint flashing through his pupils.

As time passed, more and more people arrived at this transmission light pillar.

When they saw the strange situation here, some of the newly arrived cultivators, who had been talking loudly, restrained themselves quite a bit.

Anyone with eyes could tell... the atmosphere here didn’t seem quite right.

What if someone used the excuse that they’d been too loud to cause trouble for them?

Half an hour later, when another group came over, Lu Ye glanced over and was slightly surprised.

Their robes all had the two characters "Infinite" on them.

And their overall strength was actually very solid, only slightly weaker than forces like the Sea Spirit Hall and Yuanyang Palace. The leader even had the strength of Celestial Realm First Layer.

"Could these be people from the Infinite Dao Sect?" Lu Ye mused. He remembered that within the Hidden Spirit Land there was a force that bore the name "Infinite."

Combining that with the very considerable strength of these people, it was eighty percent likely.

No wonder when he’d asked Sang Xiyao before how strong the younger generation of Lingyao Celestial Palace was, Sang Xiyao had shaken her head.

She’d even said that aside from the Palace Master, the strength of those below was actually not very ideal.

Now that he saw it, that was indeed the case.

After the people of the Infinite Dao Sect arrived here and saw the members of the other top forces, they didn’t show much restraint and still acted as they pleased.

Instead, it was when they saw Lu Ye that something changed.

"You’re the one who killed an Earth Realm Elder of the Cyan Hidden Sect and two Mortal Realm Ninth Layer experts of the Celestial Curtain Prefecture, Chen Beixuan?"

The Celestial Realm First Layer cultivator from the Infinite Dao Sect at the head looked at Chen Beixuan and asked aloud.

Hearing this, many hearts gave a little jolt.

That was only counting the ones who’d fallen in the Hidden Spirit Land, not including the things that happened outside.

God of Slaughter... this Chen Beixuan really was a God of Slaughter!

It was just that, now that people from the Infinite Dao Sect had suddenly brought this up, were they intending to stick up for the other forces in the Hidden Spirit Land?

After all, in name the Infinite Dao Sect was the number one force of the Hidden Spirit Land.

Qing Yu had already revealed a trace of guardedness in her expression, and her Spiritual Sense had already connected to the Thunder Divine Nemean Lion at any time, ready to release the beast the moment something seemed off!
