Chapter 4287: Blood River True Lord

Wang Qiulin had just returned to his dwelling when a clear, loud ringing sound came from his person. He took out a gleaming green array disk and activated it with a hand seal. Wang Yixin's voice sounded: "Patriarch Qiulin, True Monarch Blood River has an urgent matter and wishes to see you."

"True Monarch Blood River!"

Wang Qiulin looked thoughtful, pondered for a moment, and then instructed: "Bring him over. I'll speak with him in person."

True Monarch Blood River was a rogue cultivator. He possessed cultivation at the Grand Perfection stage of Golden Immortal, had mastered the Law of Blood, and had even cultivated a peak true spirit, making his strength exceptional.

After Wang Changsheng comprehended the Law of Soul, Wang Qiulin also became a focus of attention for other forces. His divination results were remarkably accurate, and many Golden Immortal cultivators sought his services, making it difficult to get a single reading.

Elder Golden Scale had already advanced to Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Fairy Luoshui's whereabouts were unknown, and Cao Yufeng was also a diviner. However, Wang Changsheng's reputation was so immense that Wang Qiulin was more popular among Golden Immortal cultivators.

"It seems another person is looking for my husband to perform divination!" Chu Yurou said with a smile, taking out tea sets and tea leaves to brew tea for the guest. Golden Immortal cultivators visited Wang Qiulin every few days, seeking his divination services, a sight Chu Yurou had grown accustomed to.

Not long after, Wang Yixin led a tall, blood-robed young man to Wang Qiulin's dwelling. The blood-robed youth had a square face and large eyes, and an overwhelming aura of malevolence emanated from him.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, long time no see." The blood-robed youth said with a slight smile.

"Long time no see, Fellow Daoist Dongfang." Wang Qiulin smiled faintly and invited them to sit.

After finishing a cup of tea, True Monarch Blood River took out a golden jade slip and handed it to Wang Qiulin. Wang Qiulin scanned it with his divine sense and exclaimed in surprise, "Heavenly Soul Immortal Dew! I'll take this wine recipe. What do you wish for in return?"

The jade slip recorded the recipe for a third-tier immortal wine called Heavenly Soul Immortal Dew, which had the effect of strengthening one's soul. The Wang family possessed the first half of the "Heavenly Soul Treasure Codex" and a Profound Soul Immortal Peach Tree. However, this was still not enough; they needed to collect more pill recipes, wine recipes, or other auxiliary items that could strengthen the soul.

"I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Wang to help me divine a fortuitous encounter, how about it?" True Monarch Blood River said.

"No problem. Follow me to the Heavenly Secret Hall! Formations are set up there, which makes divination more convenient." Wang Qiulin handed the jade slip to Wang Yixin, then stood up and walked towards a side courtyard. True Monarch Blood River quickly followed.

"Heavenly Soul Immortal Dew. Our family has gained another third-tier immortal wine recipe." Wang Yixin was overjoyed.

"It would be even better if my husband advances to Grand Unity Golden Immortal," Chu Yurou said proudly.

In less than fifteen minutes, Wang Qiulin and True Monarch Blood River walked out of the side courtyard. Wang Qiulin was smiling, while True Monarch Blood River's expression was one of excitement.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Wang." True Monarch Blood River said gratefully.

"This was your destiny to begin with. I hope you can find it!" Wang Qiulin said with a slight smile. He looked at Wang Yixin and added, "Yixin, please escort Fellow Daoist Dongfang out."

Wang Yixin acknowledged, then led True Monarch Blood River away.

"Husband, why is Fellow Daoist Dongfang so happy?" Chu Yurou asked curiously.

"If I had a great fortuitous encounter, I would be happy too," Wang Qiulin explained. He had divined a great fortuitous encounter for True Monarch Blood River. He had performed divination for many Immortals, and only two of them had grand fortuitous encounters.

"A great fortuitous encounter!" Chu Yurou's face was filled with envy.

"Whether he can find it is another matter, and even if he finds it, he might not necessarily obtain it," Wang Qiulin said. The divination result indicated that True Monarch Blood River's fortuitous encounter was in a place containing the character "fire" and a large amount of seawater. The Immortal Realm was vast, and it would be considerably difficult for True Monarch Blood River to find his fortuitous encounter. Even if found, obtaining it might not be guaranteed; it could be in a perilous area or an ancient battlefield, situations that were not uncommon. Thanks to Wang Changsheng, Wang Qiulin had consulted Elder Golden Scale about divination techniques, and Elder Golden Scale had encountered many such cases.

"In any case, Fellow Daoist Dongfang will certainly go searching. I hope he can obtain this great fortuitous encounter. That way, your reputation, husband, will become even more renowned." Chu Yurou's face showed a look of yearning.

"Cultivation is the foundation. I plan to enter secluded cultivation for a period, hoping to advance to the late Golden Immortal stage." Wang Qiulin said. He was currently at the mid Golden Immortal stage.

"I also plan to enter secluded cultivation. Let's see who advances to the late Golden Immortal stage first," Chu Yurou said.

Wang Qiulin took out a communication disk, sent a message to Wang Yixin to temporarily decline visitors, and then both he and his wife entered secluded cultivation.

In a quiet small courtyard, Wang Chuanming, Wang Mengshan, Cui Yao, and Wu Yan were sitting in a green bamboo pavilion, conversing.

"It has been confirmed that those two are indeed disciples of the Murong family. They are active in the Seven Star Sea Region and have already advanced to the Golden Immortal stage," Wang Mengshan said.

The Wang family had been searching for the whereabouts of the Murong family remnants. This was currently the Dark Hall's most important mission, personally overseen by Wang Chuanming. Wang family members were spread across several sea regions in the North Sea Immortal Domain, conducting overt and covert investigations to find the Murong family remnants. Heaven rewards the diligent; Li Canghai discovered the whereabouts of two Murong family disciples in the Seven Star Sea Region and immediately reported it.

"Fellow Daoist Li will personally monitor them. Cui Yao and I will make a trip ourselves to apprehend these two and bring them to justice, so as to avoid any further complications. The Chaos Continent is left to you. Many forces are waiting to see us fail, so don't give them any opportunities," Wang Chuanming instructed. He hoped to capture these two Murong family disciples and, by following the clues, find Fairy Luoshui to eliminate this major hidden danger for the family. If Fairy Luoshui were to advance to Grand Unity Golden Immortal, she might be able to persuade other Grand Unity Golden Immortals to act on her behalf, using her divination skills.

"Understood, Hall Master." Wang Mengshan and Wu Yan assented.

The Wang family's territory on the Chaos Continent was substantial, and the Dark Hall had also expanded its personnel, gathering information both openly and secretly. Wang Chuanming gave a few more instructions, then departed Qinglian City with Cui Yao.

Seven Star Sea Region.

Seven Star Market City, where streets were bustling with crowds and the clamor of carriages and horses. The door to a secret chamber opened, and Fairy Luoshui emerged, her willow-like eyebrows tightly furrowed. She was stuck at a bottleneck, unable to overcome it, and continued secluded cultivation proved useless.

She took out a golden array disk, activated it with a hand seal, and a loud male voice rang out: "Fairy Murong, you've finally emerged from seclusion."

"Oh? Is Senior Xu looking for me?" Fairy Luoshui asked.

After the news of Wang Changsheng mastering the Law of Soul spread, Xu Feng dispatched several Golden Immortal cultivators to guard Fairy Luoshui, fearing she might use the Yama Palace's name to target the Wang family. If Fairy Luoshui hadn't been proficient in divination, she would have already been silenced.

"Not exactly. I wish to ask you to divine a fortuitous encounter for me. I wonder if it's convenient for you?" The man asked politely.

"Can I refuse? I'm no different from a prisoner now," Fairy Luoshui said with some dissatisfaction.

"Fairy Murong, you jest. Elder Xu merely instructed us to protect you. How can you speak of being a prisoner?" The man explained.

"Alright then! Come to my dwelling, and I'll help you divine a fortuitous encounter," Fairy Luoshui said. She was currently under de facto house arrest, and maintaining good relations with her colleagues wouldn't hurt.

"Good, I'll be right over." The man assented.

Fairy Luoshui put away the golden array disk, sighed softly, and murmured to herself, "The Law of Soul... Supremacy. Our Murong family's defeat was not unjust. Fortunately, there are still some hidden agents. I hope a Grand Unity Golden Immortal can emerge among them." Besides those known, the Murong family had other hidden agents who, on the surface, had no connection to the family but were, in reality, Murong family disciples. Like a centipede that twitches even after death, the Murong family had, after all, been an inheritance for many years. Coupled with Murong Yilong's prior precautions, completely eradicating all Murong family disciples would be extremely difficult. Unfortunately, Fairy Luoshui herself did not know the status or identities of these hidden agents.
