Chapter 165 - Two Primal Cores (1/2)

“He killed the eighth elder of the Yang family?”

Liu Xuanyu raised his eyebrows and asked, “How did their conflict arise?”

“Apparently, that middle-aged man saw a Primal Core adept flying through the air into the city, and let out an exclamation in a loss of composure… thereafter, the eighth elder of the Yang family mocked him for being from the countryside and being a country bumpkin, and that’s how it started.”

The old man laid out the results of his investigation, “Yang Wei made the first move… however, he was only a middle Connate adept, and that middle-aged man was a late Connate adept, and he wounded Yang Wei in mid-air, causing him to fall to his death.”

“He lost his composure and let out an exclamation when he saw a Primal Core adept?”

Liu Xuanyu’s eyes lit up. “Just this detail shows… that middle-aged man very rarely sees Primal Core adepts.

“From this, we can disregard the possibility of him having an exceptional background.”

“We cannot find out more about his origins probably because he is an obscure person from some small place.”

Liu Xuanyu looked at the old man, and a look of greed flashed across his eyes. “Where is that person now?”

“Yuntai inn.”

The old man smiled bitterly.

“Yuntai inn?”

Liu Xuanyu frowned. “He is actually staying at the inn sixth elder is in charge of?”

The sixth elder that Liu Xuanyu mentioned was none other than the sixth elder of the Shenguang sect.

Some of the elders of the Shenguang sect owned businesses in the capital city of the Shenguang empire. The sixth elder of the Shenguang sect, for example, had opened an inn in the capital city of the Shenguang empire.

That inn was named “Yuntai inn”, and was located in the affluent and prosperous district of the capital city of the Shenguang empire, and was one of the best inns in the Shenguang empire.

“Precisely because he is staying at sixth elder’s inn, and has not left his room in almost a month, the situation is somewhat tricky… even if he has no background and is ordinary in terms of ability, we cannot barge into Yuntai inn and take the spirit stones and space ring from him.”

The old man said with a bitter smile, “Otherwise, sixth elder will definitely receive news and even discover what is actually going on… if the matter is exposed, the sect will not let you off easily, Seventeenth Elder.”

“We can only wait for them to come out.”

Liu Xuanyu’s tone was gloomy. What the old man had said was exactly what he feared.

If it was an ordinary elder of the Shenguang sect, he could choose to work together with him and take the spirit stones and space ring from the youth, then divide the spoils.

However, that sixth elder belonged to a different camp within the Shenguang sect, and would dearly like to have leverage over him, so how could they cooperate?

“In that case…”

Liu Xuanyu looked at the old man with a cunning look and said, “Find someone to go to the Yang family, and tell them that the person who killed the eighth elder of the Yang family is staying at Yuntai inn.”

“Let’s see if they can find a way to lure that middle-aged man out from Yuntai inn… if they can’t find a way, we can only wait.”

Liu Xuanyu finished.

“I’ll get someone to go the Yang family now.”

The old man acknowledged and withdrew.

When the person sent by the old man had gone to the Yang family and told them that the person who killed the eighth elder of the Yang family Yang Wei was staying at Yuntai inn, the Yang family members wanted nothing more than to go immediately to take revenge, but they did not dare to proceed rashly.

Yuntai inn’s background lead directly to the Shenguang sect, and was the personal business of the sixth elder of the Shenguang sect, a late Primal Core stage adept.

It was not something that the Yang family could trifle with.

“Send an invite to that person, and say that our Yang family is holding a banquet at Longteng restaurant tomorrow and invite him to attend… if he gives us the respect, we will only require his life for Eighth Elder’s. If not, we will make the youth with him pay as well!”

The patriarch of the Yang family gave the order, and instructed someone to send the invite to Yuntai inn.

In any case, once the invite was sent out, it was like throwing a stone into the ocean, and there was no response whatsoever.

“Patriarch, according to the people at the inn, that person and the youth with him have not left their rooms for the past month… nevertheless, we can be certain that they are still there. We suspect that they are practicing in seclusion.”

The patriarch of the Yang family very soon found out this news from several Yang family juniors who went to Yuntai inn to gather information, and could only order a rotating watch on the main entrance of Yuntai inn.

If that person or the youth with him were to leave, they would report it to the Yang family immediately.

Of course, while the people from the Yang family were keeping watch over the main entrance of Yuntai inn, the people sent by the elder of the black market, the seventeenth elder of the Shenguang sect Liu Xuanyu, would also be keeping watch.

The Yang family wanted to avenge the eighth elder of the Yang family.

Liu Xuanyu however, wanted to take his target’s spirit stones and space ring.

…

There were no markers of time while practicing.

In a flash, seven whole months had passed since the day Zhou Donghuang used the thousand spirit stones to create the energy-gathering position.

Now, the Ziyun era had entered the end of the year 1230.

Winter had arrived, and the areas surrounding the Shenguang empire were blanketed with snow, and everything seemed to be draped in a layer of silver.

“Master really told me the truth… in only half a year, I, Su Mo, have attained the Primal Core stage!”

In a room in a spacious guest compound in Yuntai inn, the dignified middle-aged man who was sitting on the bed with his eyes closed as he practiced suddenly opened his eyes.
