Chapter 395 Qing Tan Slays the Libertine
"Oh, so senior has such a history with Young Master Xing. Young Master Xing should not be in the city right now; I saw him leave the city a month ago and he hasn't returned," A Liang replied, his face showing a hint of admiration.
Yu Qingtan nodded slightly, but her heart was filled with turmoil. Fairy Qingying had gone missing, her Soul Lamp had dimmed, and this Xing Ye happened to have left Haifeng Immortal City a month ago—there seemed to be some connection between these events.
"Is the true noble Dong Yuyu in the city?" Yu Qingtan continued to ask, trying to keep her tone as calm as possible.
"Well, about that, I'm not too sure. I've only seen such an esteemed person as the second city lord from a distance once," A Liang scratched his head and said somewhat helplessly.
Yu Qingtan silently chastised herself for asking a foolish question. After making a decision in her mind, she bought a house and then went to the Heavenly Secret Tower.
She spent a large number of Spirit Stones to buy information on Xing Ye, True Noble Dong Yuyu, Fairy Qingying, and Haifeng Immortal City, but there was no recent whereabouts information for the three of them.
Yu Qingtan arrived outside the City Lord's Mansion and used the Blue Clear Spiritual Pupil Technique to observe. Indeed, she found that one of the Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators' presence was missing from the city—it was most likely the second city lord, Dong Yuyu.
Then, Yu Qingtan took out a Fourth Stage Heavenly Mystery Talisman, infused it with Spiritual Power to activate it, in search of clues about Fairy Qingying's whereabouts.
The reason she didn't use it immediately was that the more preliminary information she had, the more accurate the guidance of the Heavenly Mystery Talisman would be.
A glimmer of spiritual light flashed on the Heavenly Mystery Talisman, sending out a faint, indistinct fluctuation, pointing in a direction. A glint of joy flashed in Yu Qingtan's eyes, and, holding the talisman, she quickly followed the indicated direction.
After leaving Haifeng Immortal City, Yu Qingtan reached the seaside of Lichuan Inner Sea. The direction indicated by the Heavenly Mystery Talisman was out across the sea.
Yu Qingtan employed the Five Elements Qiankun Escape at full speed to travel, and to avoid being attacked by the Sea Clan, she also activated the Trace Concealment Technique.
About an hour later, Yu Qingtan felt a sensation in her heart and determined that the direction pointed by the Heavenly Mystery Talisman was to Sakura Island.
Thus, Yu Qingtan used her Innate Divine Power Shadow Clone to reach her Luo Li Island, and then she proceeded towards Sakura Island, which saved her a lot of time.
Before long, Yu Qingtan saw Sakura Island from a distance. Sakura Island was the largest group of islands in the southeastern sea region of Lichuan Inner Sea, consisting of two large islands in the north and south and thousands of smaller islands, with a total area that approached five percent of the Southeast Region.
At this moment, what Yu Qingtan saw was Southern Sakura Island, an island that looked like a gigantic turtle inlaid in the endless turquoise sea.
The island's mountains were undulating, shrouded in mist, giving off a mysterious and profound feeling. The vegetation on the island was lush and verdant, with various exotic flowers and plants competing to bloom and emitting refreshing fragrances.
The most famous and beautiful among them were the cherry blossoms. Unfortunately, it was September, not the season for cherry blossoms to bloom.
At the southern end of Southern Sakura Island lay a majestic Immortal City—Hengbing Immortal City. The city was built against the mountains and beside the sea. On its walls were carved various mysterious runes and patterns, flickering with the faint light of formations, radiating a solemn and mysterious ambiance.
The Heavenly Mystery Talisman's guidance led here. However, more specific guidance was not available; after all, a Fourth Stage Heavenly Mystery Talisman wasn't omnipotent, but Yu Qingtan was already very satisfied.
Yu Qingtan used the Reincarnation Mantra to disguise herself as Ying Youluo and entered the city.
In Hengbing Immortal City, the streets were spacious and clean, lined with shops displaying a dazzling array of treasures. Pedestrians were coming and going, some chatting, some trading, some hurrying along—the place was bustling scene of prosperity.
The cultivators from Sakura Island and those from the Southeast Region dressed in distinctly different styles: the men often wore samurai attire while the women favored Sakura Island skirts. Besides the local cultivators of Sakura Island, there were also quite a few cultivators from the Southeast Region within Hengbing Immortal City.
The native cultivators of Sakura Island treated those from the Southeast Region with great respect, but deep down they actually despised them; they just didn't dare to offend them.
As Yu Qingtan searched for clues about the Clear Shadow Fairy within Hengbing Immortal City, she pondered over strategies for finding someone. Disguised as Ying Youluo, her appearance was delicate and beautiful, her demeanor outstanding, drawing glances from passersby.
Suddenly, a burst of noisy commotion came from not far away. Yu Qingtan followed the sound and saw a young master dressed in lavish clothes, with an arrogant demeanor, walking towards her with several followers in tow.
Upon seeing Yu Qingtan, disguised as Ying Youluo, the young master's eyes flashed with a hint of amazement. He stopped in his tracks, looked her up and down, and a sly smile appeared on his lips.
"This fairy is truly as beautiful as a True Immortal, I've never seen such a gorgeous woman before," the young master said as he approached Yu Qingtan with a frivolous tone.
"Scram!" Yu Qingtan's voice was cold as frost and her face was filled with a murderous intent.
The young master obviously didn't expect this kind of response; he was momentarily taken aback, then his complexion darkened. Seeing their master's mood change, the followers immediately stepped forward, glaring at Yu Qingtan with fierce hostility.@@novelbin@@
"Hmph, such an ignorant woman! This is the great young master of the City Lord's Mansion. It's your good fortune that he fancies you, yet you dare to be so disrespectful!" A follower yelled angrily.
"A Xiong, watch your manners! Fairy, please don't be angry. This young master was just overwhelmed by your divine presence. May I inquire as to where you hail from and what business you have in Hengbing Immortal City?
I have some influence here in Hengbing Immortal City and would be more than happy to be of service to the fairy!" The young master of the City Lord's Mansion quickly regained his composure, his face transformed from ominous to gentle as he spoke in a cultured manner.
"Oh, there is indeed something I'd like you to help me with!" said Yu Qingtan, still disguised as Ying Youluo, revealing a faint smile.
"Please do not hesitate to command me, fairy!" The young master of the City Lord's Mansion leaned in closer, a lecherous grin on his face.
"I'll need to borrow your little life!" Yu Qingtan said quickly and, with the same swiftness, her right hand shot out, unleashing an overwhelming force that bore down on the young master of the City Lord's Mansion.
The young master, who was only at the initial stage of the Golden Core, was like a sheet of paper flattened by a mountain, his body as flush with the ground as dead leaves, impossible to be pried up, completely devoid of life.
The entire scene unfolded so abruptly that the onlookers were left dumbfounded. None of them expected such an adorable and harmless-looking girl to suddenly turn into a devil who killed at the drop of a hat.
The entourage, previously brimming with aggression, were now pale with fear, retreating several steps, not daring to advance. Their eyes widened in disbelief at the sorry state of their young master, as a nameless terror rose in their hearts.
The pedestrians were also frightened by this sudden turn of events, quickly distancing themselves; some of the more faint-hearted screamed in panic and ran away in disarray.
"You–" A follower tried to say something but was overwhelmed by the pressure of the nascent soul's initial stage emanating from Yu Qingtan, causing him to collapse to the ground.
"Who is this madman who dares to kill my son in the streets of Hengbing Immortal City!" At that moment, an angry voice came from afar, accompanied by powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy and a streak of escape light.

In the blink of an eye, a middle-aged man dressed in brocade appeared not far in front of Yu Qingtan. This man was none other than the City Lord of Hengbing Immortal City, the father of the young master of the City Lord's Mansion, Ito Nami.
