Chapter 1486: Enemy Traces Appear

Recently, many cultivators have contacted Immortal Fairy Ziyue. These individuals were naturally interested in the materials from the fourth-tier flood dragon, and it was hard to guarantee that none of them harbored malicious intentions due to greed.

Huang Yuxu understood this and nodded in agreement.

Li Ru took out a blue spell disk, injected a spell into it, and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, a Fellow Daoist Zhao wishes to discuss something with you. Are you available now?"

"Is it about that immortal fairy?" Chen Ding's voice came from the communication disk. He had also been in contact with the other party, hoping to acquire more materials from the fourth-tier flood dragon.

Li Ru handed the communication disk to Huang Yuxu. Huang Yuxu took it and said, "My surname is Zhao. I'd like to inquire with Fellow Daoist Chen about the fourth-tier flood dragon's essence blood. If I can acquire it, the price will certainly not be an issue."

"I am currently occupied and cannot get away. How about this? I'll send someone to meet you? He is a core member of our Skywind Business Alliance, with extensive experience and a wide network of information, having traveled to the Eastern Wilderness, Southern Sea, Northern Border, and Central Plains."

Huang Yuxu nodded and said, "Okay, I will wait at the Golden Eagle Palace. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chen."

Huang Yuxu returned the communication disk to Li Ru, and they chatted casually.

Not long after, a respectful male voice suddenly came from outside: "Junior Wang Yang requests an audience with the two seniors."

"Young Friend Wang, come in!" Li Ru said softly. Wang Mengyang strode in, his expression respectful.

Chen Ding was attending to Huangfu Xiong and could not excuse himself. Sending Wang Mengyang to receive a Nascent Soul cultivator was a task he often performed.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, please take your time talking. Young Friend Wang is responsible for hosting the auction and is familiar with its details." After Li Ru finished speaking, she stood up and left, leaving Wang Mengyang and Huang Yuxu alone.

Less than half a quarter of an hour later, Wang Mengyang walked out. The other party had asked him about the fourth-tier flood dragon's essence blood and the female cultivator who provided it. Wang Mengyang naturally would not reveal Immortal Fairy Ziyue's whereabouts to Huang Yuxu. If a client's information were leaked and they were attacked, the Skywind Business Alliance would not be able to avoid responsibility. He was willing to help contact Immortal Fairy Ziyue. To put it plainly, the Skywind Business Alliance acts as an intermediary, connecting sellers and buyers, earning a commission, and maintaining confidentiality for both parties.

Upon returning to his residence, Wang Mengyang immediately took out his communication disk and contacted Wang Changsheng: "Ancestor, your grandson has discovered a suspicious Nascent Soul cultivator. He is particularly interested in the fourth-tier flood dragon's essence blood but shows little interest in its inner core or vital scales. This person is most likely using the flood dragon's essence blood for cultivation."

A flood dragon's entire body is a treasure, with its inner core being the most precious.

When Wang Mengyang mentioned the flood dragon's inner core, the other party showed little interest, clearly indicating he was not an alchemist. He also showed little interest in the fourth-tier flood dragon's vital scales, clearly indicating he was not an artifact forger. This suggests that the fourth-tier flood dragon's essence blood is most likely being used for cultivation.

"Besides this, are there any other suspicious aspects about this person?" Wang Changsheng asked further, his tone solemn.

"This person is extremely cautious. As soon as he arrived, he inquired about your grandson's background. Only after learning that your grandson had worked at the Skywind Business Alliance for over two hundred years and had traveled to the Eastern Wilderness, Northern Border, and Central Plains, did he slowly dispel his suspicions. When he asked about the fourth-tier flood dragon's essence blood, and your grandson mentioned body-refining elixirs, he showed intense interest." Wang Mengyang reported truthfully. He had discovered several suspicious cultivators and reported them to Wang Changsheng immediately, noting that the Nascent Soul cultivator he met today was the most suspicious.

"I understand. Do not alert him; I will handle the rest." Wang Changsheng put away his communication disk, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.

"Husband, this person is the most suspicious. Let Haitang and I investigate his background." Wang Ruyan suggested this, knowing that if it truly was Huang Yuxu, he definitely wouldn't be able to hide from her and Ye Haitang.

Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "Be careful, and don't let him discover you."

Wang Ruyan and Ye Haitang nodded in agreement and stood up to leave.

In a secluded courtyard, Huang Yuxu sat in a stone pavilion, holding a blue spell disk in his hand. His subordinates had been keeping an eye on the female cultivator who possessed the fourth-tier flood dragon's essence blood. The female cultivator was merely at the early Nascent Soul stage.

"What? She won't see anyone?" Huang Yuxu asked in a deep voice, "If this person dislikes socializing, that would indeed be troublesome."

"That's right. Many cultivators have sent her sound transmission talismans, but she hasn't been seen interacting with anyone else. She probably acquired some kind of spiritual elixir."

Huang Yuxu pondered for a moment, then instructed, "I understand. Keep a close eye on her. If you see her come out, notify me immediately."

"Yes, Master."

Huang Yuxu put away his communication disk and walked out.

In a private room on the second floor of a tea house, Ye Haitang stood by the window, which was half-open, revealing a narrow slit. Suddenly, a young man in a blue robe appeared in Ye Haitang's sight. Her eyes lit up, and her expression became excited.

"Aunt, Huang Yuxu's whereabouts have been discovered." Ye Haitang said in a lowered voice, a cold glint appearing in her eyes.

Wang Ruyan's expression turned cold. She quickly walked to the window, took out her communication disk, and described Huang Yuxu's current physical characteristics to Wang Changsheng.

"I understand. Don't keep staring at him. Guard the Golden Eagle Hall and the market's exit. I'll contact Junior Sister and have her lure Huang Yuxu out of the market." Wang Changsheng put away his communication disk, his expression a little excited. Huang Yuxu had finally been found.

He quickly used his communication disk to contact Immortal Fairy Ziyue, but there was no response. Immortal Fairy Ziyue was probably forging artifacts. Since Huang Yuxu had already appeared in the market, there was no immediate rush.

Half a month passed quickly.

In a secret chamber, Immortal Fairy Ziyue sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion. A shimmering red feather fan floated in mid-air, adorned with a golden feather.

"It's finally refined successfully." Immortal Fairy Ziyue let out a sigh of relief, her expression a little excited. With the Spirit Treasure Fire Sparrow Fan infused with the vital feather of the Fiery Sun Vulture, its power would certainly be greater. Coupled with a fourth-tier puppet beast, she would have the strength to fight against a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator and avoid being severely wounded by True Monarch Huanglong as before.

With a single hand gesture, the Fire Sparrow Fan flew into her hand. With a gentle wave, a crimson-gold flame swept out, striking the stone wall. The temperature inside the chamber suddenly soared, as if one were inside a volcano. The restrictions on the stone wall flickered continuously, threatening to break at any moment. She shook her sleeve, and the crimson-gold flame suddenly vanished.

She put away the Fire Sparrow Fan and took out her communication disk to contact Wang Changsheng: "Senior Brother Wang, is there any news about Huang Yuxu?"

"Heaven rewards the diligent; we found him. He has changed his appearance. Junior Sister Tian, you can leave the market now and lure this person out." If Immortal Fairy Ziyue leaves the market, Huang Yuxu should also follow. The exit is being closely watched by Wang Changsheng and his two companions, so as long as Huang Yuxu leaves the market, he will certainly die. Even if Huang Yuxu does not leave the market, there will be no problem. Wang Changsheng will kill Huang Yuxu, even if it means fighting within the market.

"Okay, I understand." Immortal Fairy Ziyue assented, put away her communication disk and the artifact-forging materials on the ground, stood up, and walked out.
