“What’s the matter?”
“It’s the Yu Family.” Yu Hong stepped forward. Her wounds had healed significantly on the way back thanks to the elixirs she got from Xuan Yuanyu. She explained everything that happened to the Yu Family in detail. The radish’s leaves got cut off while it was trying to protect her, causing it to return to its true form. That was how everyone found out what it really was.
“You’re saying that the patriarch of the Yu Family suddenly disappeared? And he also brought all those Traveling Immortal elders with him?” Lonemoon frowned as he repeated what she said.
Yu Hong nodded.
Yi Qing’s expression darkened. “The Yu Family is the oldest out of all four aristocratic families. Could it be that they really practise mystic arts that people don’t know about so that they can escape right before Master’s eyes?”
“They didn’t run away on their own,” Shen Ying, who had been lying on the table, suddenly interrupted. “Someone took them away.”
“Took them away?” Lonemoon hesitated. “You mean somebody saved them. Who?”
“I don’t know.” She lay her head back down on the table. “That person didn’t appear.”
Everybody’s expressions darkened. The Yu Family seemed to have many hidden cards... Lonemoon scanned the room and studied each of his disciples. Lowering his voice, he said, “Everybody, pack up your things tonight. We’ll return to Invincible Sect tomorrow.”
Shen Ying’s rampage tonight had been too extreme. In one move, she not only seriously injured five Traveling Immortals from the Yu Family, she even injured the patriarch of the Yu Family. They did not just suffer from torn ligaments and minor fractures—all their bones were nearly shattered. If word got out in the Upper Azure World, there might only be three aristocratic families left. Although they still don’t know who exactly had saved the Yu Family, it seemed like the Yu Family had something up their sleeves.
Yu Hong’s and the other sister’s cultivation levels were still low after all, and Yin Tian Town was someone else’s territory. It would be much safer for them to return to the Demon Realm.
Wait...
Did I forget something? Ah, whatever. It’s not important.
The unimportant people from the Soul Chasing Tower that got beaten: “...”Damn it!
——————
Three days later...
“Hey, hey, hey. Have you heard? The Traveling Immortals from the Yu Family got beaten up by the Invincible Sect’s Master. Even the Yu Family’s patriarch went missing.”
“What kind of aristocratic family doesn’t have Traveling Immortals? I think the Yu Family is in a mess right now. It looks like one out of four of the aristocratic families won’t be around anymore.”
“Is that right? Where exactly is this Invincible Sect from? How are they able to deal such a blow to the Yu Family?”
“I heard that they have a hidden Great Immortal. No one knows exactly where they are based, but their disciples are either Sword Cultivators or Body Cultivators.”
“Are they that powerful? What did the Yu Family do to offend this sect?”
“I heard the Yu Family’s patriarch captured two disciples of Invincible Sect and even seriously injured them. He refused to let them go no matter how much the patriarchs of the Yin Family and Xuan Yuan Family tried to persuade them. That’s why the sect master of Invincible Sect was angered and took care of the Yu Family.”
“Is this sect master really that powerful? What kind of person is this?”
“I heard that the sect master’s surname is Yi... and her first name is a single word, Qing! Have you heard about what happened with the Xuan Yuan Family a year ago? Sect Master Yi and her subordinate, Lonemoon, were responsible for that too.”
“Oh, it’s them!”
Shen Ying: “...”
Yi Qing: “...”
Lonemoon: Hmph, I told you not to use other people’s names.
Within three days, Invincible Sect became famous throughout the Upper Azure World. They were known for housing a hidden Great Immortal and were now regarded as a top-class immortal sect. Slowly, their ranking creeped above the other immortal sects—they were ranked almost equal with the aristocratic families.
The story of the mysterious sect master ‘Yi Qing’ and how she defeated the Yu Family spread throughout the Upper Azure World, shocking everyone. The different families and sects were also familiar with Lonemoon who had been visiting them over the past few days to clinch deals. Each time people talked about the Invincible Sect, Lonemoon’s name would come up as the businessman-cum-Soul Formation Supremacy who was much better at doing business than the Yin Family. Even the nine disciples of Invincible Sect became famous overnight after Si Yu won the competition amongst the sects. Everyone saw them as the rising stars of the younger generation of cultivators.
Yet despite all this... no one mentioned Shen Ying!
Not a word, a letter, or even a punctuation was dedicated to her!
-_-|||
No one knew who Shen Ying was. Even the Yin Family, who had put up the prohibition signs a year ago, had forgotten her. She could not even get famous for trying to eat a free meal.
It was as if she smashed her own feet with a stone—it was excruciatingly painful!
The Yu Family kept a low profile after what had happened. But while they were low key, they were not completely off the radar. Without any Traveling Immortals to their name, however, their influence in the Upper Azure World dwindled.
Lonemoon initially thought that the Yu Family would retaliate or argue with them at least once, given their reputation as an aristocratic family. However, it seemed that they had been beaten into full submission.
The Yin Family and Xuan Yuan Family did not take sides or so much as offer to clarify what had happened that night. From their conduct, though, it was obvious they were leaning toward the Invincible Sect’s side; otherwise, word wouldn’t have spread that the Invincible Sect was a hidden great immortal sect.
Nobody saw Yu Haiheng after that night. Even the Yu Family claimed that he was missing. Lonemoon felt uneasy just thinking about the people who had saved Yu Haiheng and the Traveling Immortals. Something in his gut told him that the Yu Family would not submit as easily as the Xuan Yuan Family did. Maybe they did have a big trick up their sleeves. Lonemoon expected them to turn up at their door soon.
He did not think that an unexpected visitor would turn up before the Yu Family did.
“Greetings, elders. The rabbit demon at the bottom of the hill said it discovered a spy trying to break into Invincible Sect,” Yu Hong reported.
“A spy?” Lonemoon exclaimed. Could it be someone from the Yu Family? Lonemoon turned to glance at Yi Qing and instructed Yu Hong to prevent any disciple from going down the hill. He immediately flew out with Yi Qing.
From afar, they saw a group of eighth and ninth-stage demons surrounding the array at the entrance of the hill who were shouting at a man dressed in black. The scene looked extremely tense.
“What’s going on?” Yi Qing and Lonemoon quickly flew down the hill and studied the man in black using their Divine Perception, but a fog obscured their senses so that they had no way of figuring out the man’s cultivation level. “Eh?”
This man was not simple.
“Benefactors, you are here,” a rabbit demon greeted them, stepping forward. “A few lesser demons spotted this man sneaking around outside the entrance to the hill. That’s why we came here to stop him.”
Yi Qing nodded and walked toward the man, asking, “Who are you and why are you trespassing in our Invincible Sect?”
The cultivator was surrounded by over ten high-level demons, yet he did not seem in the least bit afraid. He laughed coldly and replied, “I’m the Tower Master of Soul Chasing Tower, Feng Ying. I came here today to seek justice from your sect master. This has nothing to do with the rest of you. I will kill whoever gets in my way!”
“Soul Chasing Tower?” Why did this name sound familiar? “Chef, have you heard of them before?”
“No!” Yi Qing shook his head.
“Hmph, it’s okay if you haven’t heard of us yet. You will definitely remember us in future!” The man smiled arrogantly.
“This... Tower Master Feng?” Did Shen Ying forget to pay for her meal again?“How did our sect master offend you?”
What Tower Master Feng? Don’t people normally address me as Tower Master Ying?
Feng Ying’s expression turned cold as he became angrier. “Stop acting dumb! Your sect master Yi Qing come to our Soul Chasing Tower three days ago claiming to look for someone, then injured over a hundred of my brothers while I wasn’t there. Yours is a hidden immortal sect, yet you daren’t own up to beating up people?”
Three days ago... Soul Chasing Tower... looking for someone?
A bulb lit up in Lonemoon’s and Yi Qing’s heads. They suddenly remembered what had happened, and the both of them stiffened.
Holy shit! They finally remembered why Soul Chasing Tower sounded so familiar. It was the place they destroyed when they misunderstood who had kidnapped Yu Hong and Si Yu.
Their faces twisted.
What shall we do? Their Master has come up to settle the score! How did he even find this place?

“The person who invaded our Tower called himself Sword Cultivator Yi Qing. I’ve asked around and I’m sure that Yi Qing is the sect master of your Invincible Sect.” Feng Ying grew more agitated as he spoke. He scanned the demons in front of him and studied the two Soul Formation cultivators. Suppressing his anger, he said, “I’m only here to take revenge. It has nothing to do with the rest of you. Please tell me, where is your sect master?”
The corner of Yi Qing’s mouth twisted. Lonemoon took this chance and pointed to the hill to his right without hesitation.
“There!”
“Thank you!” Feng Ying turned around and flew in the direction that Lonemoon had pointed towards.
Yi Qing: “...”
The demons: “...”
“What are you looking at! You had a part to play in this too, okay?” Lonemoon turned around to glare at Yi Qing. “Besides, she’ll be alright.”
Yi Qing felt as though he had just betrayed his master.
