Chapter 541: Chapter 251: The Yue Family Makes a Move

Li Changqing opened the sword box and found a pitch-black sword inside.

This sword was so black it was terrifying. Even in the sunlight, it seemed to absorb the light, making it very eerie.

"Ink Sword?"

Li Changqing was surprised to see the sword and said, "Isn’t this sword supposed to be in the Great Wilderness Hall in the Western Wilderness?"

"Yes, people from the Great Wilderness Hall came to our Evergreen Commerce Association, bought a piece of top-secret intelligence, and exchanged it with this sword," Bai Jingfei said with a smile.

"Top-secret intelligence?"

Li Changqing was very astonished. What kind of top-secret intelligence would require such a divine weapon for exchange?

Ink Sword.

Ranked fourteenth on the Divine Weapon List, it’s considered a very advanced weapon. There were countless swordsmen who went to the Great Wilderness Hall to request this sword, but they never received it. For a piece of intelligence to exchange it came out, this left Li Changqing feeling incredulous.

"It’s intelligence concerning the Yue family," Bai Jingfei whispered to Li Changqing.

"The Yue family?"

Li Changqing had an epiphany. The Yue family is the top family in Celestial Sea City and is closely connected with the City Lord’s Mansion. Investigating the Yue family would be almost impossible and would arouse their suspicion if done through Cangyuan Pavilion, but getting intelligence from the Evergreen Commerce Association is different.

"What are they eyeing the Yue family for?"

Li Changqing mused with a deep interest in the Yue family.

After all, he had met Yue Qingwu before, who claimed Li Changqing was her brother and said his name was Yue Zhengjun. Li Changqing always felt this little girl was deceiving him.

"Mr. Changqing, the Yue family’s recent actions have been notable. Especially after receiving the intelligence, I discovered that the Yue family harbors a huge secret," Bai Jingfei cautiously told Li Changqing. "The Yue family has an ancestor named Yue Zhiming, who might still be alive and possibly has become a Terrestrial Immortal long ago."

"The Yue family hiding a Terrestrial Immortal?" Li Changqing raised an eyebrow. "If true, wouldn’t Jiang Tianyun know?"

"Jiang Tianyun might not know."

Bai Jingfei laughed, "Although Cangyuan Pavilion is Jiang Tianyun’s, the actual manager is not Jiang Tianyun, but Lin Qingyi. If Lin Qingyi doesn’t want him to know, he might not ever find out."

"Lin Qingyi..." Li Changqing thought about when he last saw Lin Qingyi in Celestial Sea City, noting how close Lin Qingyi seemed to be with Yue Qingwu.

Could it be that Lin Qingyi has really defected to the Yue family?

Or perhaps defected to Yue Qingwu?

At this time, Jiang Tianyun might be in a weakened state, and if Celestial Sea City were to stir up any trouble, that old fool Jiang Tianyun might truly not withstand it.

Meanwhile, looking at the Ink Sword in the box, Li Changqing had a hunch.

If the Yue family is scheming or has other intentions, could Yue Qingwu be the instigator behind it?

Or could the person behind this be the mysterious Monarch Yuehan?

From prior intelligence on Monarch Yuehan, he was a prodigy, not someone who would abide by the rules or be content to die in the Eternal Prison. Is it possible that Monarch Yuehan is behind all of this?

Moreover, Li Changqing increasingly felt that if Monarch Yuehan got out of the Eternal Prison, the entire Cangyuan Realm would turn upside down.

And when Monarch Yuehan emerges, could he escape this vortex? The person plotting against him must be Monarch Yuehan, right?

But what does Monarch Yuehan intend to do?

Does he currently have the capability to contend with Monarch Yuehan?

He possesses many treasures, and with Xue Qianbai’s assistance, he could even ask Guang Ancestor for help if he desired. Even if Monarch Yuehan had Terrestrial Immortal allies, they might not be able to harm him.

However, from this moment, Li Changqing began to feel uneasy.

This feeling made it difficult for Li Changqing to stay calm.

Not only Li Changqing, but even Li Hengsheng on the White Snake Dao felt the same sense of unease, without knowing why—just a sense of impending crisis.

Both father and son felt the same.

Time flew by.

One month later.

The moon was dark, and the wind was high.

The entire sky over Celestial Sea City was enveloped in endless oppression.

The city guards of Celestial Sea City also felt something amiss tonight, and until the latter half of the night, chaos erupted throughout the city!

Countless experts dashed out from the streets, headed straight for the City Lord’s Mansion of Celestial Sea City.

The guards of the City Lord’s Mansion didn’t have time to react before being slaughtered by the experts who rushed in. Despite this, the City Lord’s Mansion of Celestial Sea City responded quickly, with many strong individuals charging out to fight the troublemakers.

The sounds of slaughter echoed in the sky, shocking Celestial Sea City.

"Who dares to cause trouble at the City Lord’s Mansion!"

A gigantic voice boomed, followed by a man in white armor appearing in the air, wielding a Fangtian halberd that seemed to crush everything like the rules governing heaven and earth, instantly obliterating many charging experts.

The visitor was Sha Heng, the head instructor of the City Lord’s Mansion of Celestial Sea City.

Sha Heng led the crowd into battle, and with his Grandmaster cultivation, he could almost crush the intruders.

Until he clashed with a black-robed expert from the opposite side.

Both of them were masters of the Grandmaster realm, and within just a few moves, Sha Heng recognized the identity of the black-robed expert opposite him.

"People from the Yue family!" Sha Heng exclaimed in rage, "The Yue family dares to rebel!"

The opposing person, seeing Sha Heng had seen through him, didn’t bother to disguise any longer. He directly took off his black robe, revealing his familiar face, indeed an expert from the Yue family.

"It’s me, so what?" The Yue family expert sneered coldly.

At this moment, a figure quietly arrived.

It was Lin Qingyi.

Lin Qingyi came directly to the Yue family expert, and seeing Lin Qingyi personally arrive, Sha Heng respectfully said, "Lord Lin, you’re here. The Yue family rebels, bringing people to attack the City Lord’s Mansion, it’s simply unforgivable!"

But before Sha Heng finished speaking, he saw the gleam of Lin Qingyi’s blade, and Sha Heng’s head flew off.

Sha Heng had not expected Lin Qingyi to strike him.

"Lord Lin, much appreciated."

The Yue family expert also smiled faintly and said.

Clearly, he knew for some time that Lin Qingyi was on their side.

Lin Qingyi did not speak; he quickly turned to look behind him, where he saw an old man walking in the air.

The old man had a calm gaze that exerted a powerful oppressiveness.

Even the whole battle scene fell silent at this moment.

"Unforgivable."

Jiang Feng looked at the people below, a hint of unabashed killing intent in his eyes.

Jiang Feng held a short spear, preparing to strike at this moment. The spear seemed stained with the unknown blood of some creature, but Jiang Feng’s power was enough to make everyone tremble.

A Terrestrial Immortal!

It was not something they could contend with.

But just then, something flew from the end of the sky.

It flew at lightning speed, piercing the void, as if a shooting star rushing toward Jiang Feng collided fiercely.

Jiang Feng’s short spear collided directly with the flying object.

And only then did the crowd finally see what was flying—it was a coffin.

A blood-red coffin.

Jiang Feng was also shocked by the sight of the coffin, and just then, the coffin’s lid flew off and headed straight for Jiang Feng to smash him.

Jiang Feng waved casually, and the lid flew off, while in front of Jiang Feng appeared a man with a slightly pale face.

The man had a faint smile as he looked at Jiang Feng.

"You are..."

"Yue Zhiming!"

Jiang Feng’s gaze showed disbelief; Yue Zhiming, one of the ancestors of the Yue family, wasn’t he supposed to be dead?

How could he still be alive?
