Chapter 367 - 366: The Dongyu Qian Family Finally Softens
"This is too much, too much! Argh!" Elder Mengde bellowed. The Great Qian Immortal City was precisely the Qian Family’s most central immortal city, the very one they resided in.
And so, Yu Qingtan wanted to tell the Qian Family, "I am right under your noses, what can you possibly do to me!"
"Family Head, please remain calm! Given the current situation, this girl has unfathomable methods, and we have no good way to deal with her. Furthermore, her talents are peerless; should she achieve Divinity Transformation in the future, she is likely to fiercely retaliate against our Qian Family. In my view, why not make peace with her?" At this moment, a Divinity Transformation Supreme Elder, Venerable Qian Hongtian, gently twirled his beard and spoke.
"Venerable Uncle Hongtian, if we do this, where will our family’s face be?" Elder Mengde held back his anger and gave a fist-and-palm salute. This Venerable Hongtian was of his grandfather’s generation and the eldest regularly involved in the family’s routine matters. He usually didn’t interfere much, but he specifically came here this time because of the matter concerning Yu Qingtan.
"Family Head, as long as our Qian Family remains strong, what does losing some face matter! You even need to offer a formal apology, letting her no longer bear a grudge against our Qian Family!" Venerable Hongtian said nonchalantly!
"That..." Elder Mengde did not understand but refrained from rebutting out of respect for his elder. Had anyone else made such a comment, he would have already given them a good thrashing.
"Family Head, our Qian Family promises not to be enemies with Yu Qingtan anymore, but that won’t prevent other people or forces from being her enemies! Besides, no matter how formidable she is, she ultimately has to go to the Central Domain!" Venerable Hongtian revealed a meaningful smile and said.
Elder Mengde suddenly saw the light, his expression visibly softened, and said, "Mengde understands, thank you for your guidance, Venerable Uncle Hongtian! I will announce immediately that our Qian Family will no longer be enemies with Yu Qingtan in any form, and will sign a Soul Oath Contract, and moreover, offer her a Hundred-Year Lifespan Fruit as a formal apology!"
Even in the Central Domain, the Dongyu Qian Family was a force to be reckoned with. Even if they couldn’t do anything to her in the Outer Realm, once she arrived in the Central Domain, she would still be at the mercy of the Qian Family. Read exclusive adventures at Freewebnovel
That afternoon, Elder Mengde loudly declared in the airspace above the central square of the Great Qian Immortal City: "The misunderstandings between the Dongyu Qian Family and Yu Qingtan have all been resolved, and the Dongyu Qian Family has already dismissed the misunderstandings, immediately recalling Venerable Wei Ye and others who had gone to the Southeast Region.
And no longer shall we be an enemy of Yu Qingtan in any form, offering a Hundred-Year Lifespan Fruit as a formal apology, urging Yu Qingtan to return to Wendao Sect as soon as possible and hoping that Yu Qingtan will quickly release Venerable Yonglin and the other hostages."
Having said that, Elder Mengde took out a Soul Oath Contract and, after signing it, placed it and a Hundred-Year Lifespan Fruit together in a box, which he then left at the home of Venerable Yonglin.
That evening, upon receiving the news, Yu Qingtan went to retrieve the box and placed Venerable Yonglin and the others back at Venerable Yonglin’s residence. Yu Qingtan carefully checked, and the Qian Family had not prepared any ambushes; they had even turned off the Protective Array at Venerable Yonglin’s house, allowing Yu Qingtan easy access to complete the exchange.
Of course, Yu Qingtan was not afraid of any ambush. Three days later, Venerable Wei Ye and the group had all returned to the Eastern Region.
Only then was Yu Qingtan certain that the Qian Family had indeed been forced to submit. Naturally, they were displeased; otherwise, they wouldn’t have used a Lifespan Fruit, an item clearly of no use to Yu Qingtan, as a formal apology.
Yu Qingtan accepted it anyway, for her current power was still not enough to confront the entire Qian Family. In the future, when her strength was sufficient, she would go to the Qian Family to punish the wicked and avenge Xiang Yu and the others.
At the end of January in the year 7103 of the Lichuan Calendar, nineteen-year-old Yu Qingtan returned to Wendao Sect with great fanfare.
Back at Tanxian Elegant Courtyard, Yu Qingtan first met Xiang Ru, who rushed into her arms. Clinging to Yu Qingtan, Xiang Ru cried her heart out. Yu Qingtan, at a loss, could only gently pat her back in silent consolation.
After Xiang Ru had cried enough, Yu Qingtan then said, "I’m sorry, Xiang Ru!" It was because of her that Xiang Yu had suffered at the hands of the Qian Family.
"Sister Qingtan, it’s not your fault; it’s all because the Qian Family people are too despicable!" Xiang Ru, in turn, comforted Yu Qingtan instead.
"Let’s cultivate diligently together, and later settle the score with the Qian Family!"
"Yes!"
The corpses of Xiang Yu and others had been collected by the people of the Wendao Sect, and sufficient compensation was given to the families of the victims. @@novelbin@@
After consoling little Xiang Ru, Yu Qingtan turned to the people behind her.
Xiang Yiyi, Yan Xi, and the other women had returned to the Tanxian Elegant Courtyard, and Jia Siwen, Baili Ya, Tan Suqin, Yin Cen, and others were also present.
"I’ve made you all worry," Yu Qingtan said.
...
Three days later, Real Person Rou Jia and Real Person Yong Li, who were in closed-door cultivation, both made breakthroughs and became Nascent Soul Real Persons, thanks in part to the Five-Star Ascension Fruit that Yu Qingtan had contributed.
The next day, the Wendao Sect officially designated Yu Qingtan as a direct disciple of the Sect Leader, which meant she was now one of the candidates for the Sect Leader’s position. Yu Qingtan, who had forced the Dongyu Qian Family to back down, gained even more fame in the Southeast Region, and her name became known to many cultivators in the Eastern Region, resulting in a substantial increase in her Charm Points.
After eating, drinking, and enjoying themselves for a few days with the people from Tanxian Elegant Courtyard, Xiang Yiyi and the others still went out to expand the Tan Immortal Fan Club for Yu Qingtan, who gave each of them a Golden Core and a pile of cultivation resources.
Having arranged all these matters, Yu Qingtan again chose to enter seclusion. Speaking of seclusion, Yu Qingtan actually used her Innate Divine Power Shadow Clone to reach the Yunhua Mountain Range.
Although her cultivation level had been delayed due to recent events, she and Physician Qing were diligently cultivating whenever they had time. On the eve of Xiao Tao’s Tribulation Crossing, her Body Refinement cultivation level smoothly broke through to the Mid-Nascent Stage, thanks to the Myriad Beasts Blood Pool.
Her Spiritual Cultivation Level had already reached the point where she could break through to the Mid-Nascent Stage, but she was unable to do so due to the restrictions of the Slaughter Demon Order. Lately, she had spent more time on Dao Comprehension and on understanding the origin, with her comprehension of the Five Elements Origin reaching the pinnacle of the first layer.
Yu Qingtan came to the Yunhua Mountain Range to slay the Demon King and fulfill the requirements of the Slaughter Demon Order.
Upon reaching the outskirts of the Yunhua Mountain Range and finding no suitable targets, Yu Qingtan took out a beautifully made talisman, which was a Fourth Stage Heavenly Mystery Talisman.
She also knew that the reason Real Person Xuan Ji of the Dongyu Qian Family was able to locate her was because they had obtained a Fifth Stage Heavenly Mystery Talisman. In Yu Qingtan’s previous system lottery draw, she had acquired the method to craft a Fourth Stage Heavenly Mystery Talisman. As a Fourth Stage Talisman Master, she managed to create seven of them.
The Heavenly Mystery Talisman has specific requirements for the talisman paper material and talisman ink material. The Fourth Stage Heavenly Mystery Talisman in Yu Qingtan’s hands used Demonic Beast skin from a species known as the "Divine Mechanism Leopard" for the talisman paper, while the talisman ink was made with the blood of a "Heavenly Spirit Snake."
Both the Divine Mechanism Leopard and the Heavenly Spirit Snake were rare Demonic Beast species that lived deep in forests, and Yu Qingtan only had one portion of each in her spoils of war.
Including the attempts that failed during practice, Yu Qingtan eventually ended up with only seven Fourth Stage Heavenly Mystery Talismans.
Yu Qingtan silently thought, "I want to find the optimal direction to proceed," and channeled her Spiritual Power into the Heavenly Mystery Talisman. The talisman ignited without flame and turned into a wisp of blue smoke, wafting off in one direction.
