Yu Xi let out a bitter smile.

“Master Wang is unaware that, due to certain unmentionable reasons, my second uncle and I are not adept at fighting, but rather, better at conducting business. Moreover, the Zhang Family is keeping a close eye on the four Golden Core members of the Yu Family. Once they leave the Yu Family, they will undoubtedly encounter danger.”

“So,…”

Han Yi frowned: “So you hired me to block the disaster.”

As expected, this money wouldn’t be easily earned.

Hearing Han Yi’s words, Yu Xi became anxious and clenched her teeth.

“Master Wang, don’t refuse just yet. If you’re still not at ease, we can change our agreement.”

“Thirty thousand Spirit Stones, I’ll give you thirty thousand for this trip.” “Moreover, from Tian Nan Immortal City to Yu State Immortal City, it only takes half a month. This half a month, plus the time spent in Yu State Immortal City, is at most a month. As long as we find the cultivator in Supreme Pavilion, complete the transaction, our agreement will terminate. You don’t have to worry about my safety afterward, and you’re free to leave. How about it?”

This time, Han Yi did not agree immediately but instead asked solemnly: “What if we encounter a powerful cultivator’s attack?”

Yu Xi thought for a moment then suddenly came up with a different idea.

“Three chances, give me three chances… no, two, just two chances.”

“If we encounter a powerful cultivator’s attack, after blocking it twice, our agreement will end, and you can leave.”

“However, regarding the promised thirty thousand Spirit Stones, just in case, I can only give twenty thousand now. After you fulfill your promise, you can come back to the Yu Family to receive the final ten thousand.”

“Moreover, both parties must make an Immortal Path oath.”

“How about it?”

Han Yi’s eyes flashed. Yu Xi’s proposal was quite good, as it didn’t directly bind Han Yi but agreed on blocking two attacks. He could accept this constraint to some extent.

In simple terms,

Thirty thousand top-quality spirit stones in exchange for Han Yi’s two full-force interventions. But only twenty thousand could be given first, and the remaining ten thousand after the agreement was over.

This deal could definitely be done, and most importantly, it was not necessarily life-threatening for him. If he encountered a deadly crisis, he could always flee.

Han Yi’s eyes flashed.

“When I came to Tian Nan Immortal City, there were many loose cultivators on the Immortal Boat, including Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stage. Why not hire a loose cultivator? With enough money, you can definitely hire a Late-stage Golden Core cultivator, and if you spend a large sum, you might even attract Nascent Soul Sovereigns.”

On this point, Han Yi did not understand. With so much money offered to hire him alone, it didn’t seem reasonable.

Yu Xi looked at Han Yi leisurely, fell silent for three breaths, and decided to offer an explanation:

“Loose cultivators are unreliable. It’s not safe to look for them at the last moment. Who knows if they are with the Zhang Family?”

Han Yi felt that Yu Xi’s explanation was a bit far-fetched, but this answer was not crucial, so he didn’t mind it.

He nodded and finally agreed to Yu Xi’s new terms.

After the two made an Immortal Path oath,

Yu Xi took out a spirit note from her Qiankun Ring. This was a spirit stone note from the Daqin Immortal Country. By using this spirit note, one could spend money in any Supreme Pavilion in the Daqin Immortal Country. If not used, one could also withdraw spirit stones. This was one of Supreme Pavilion’s ’ functions, similar to the mortal world’s banks.

“I’m sorry, Master Wang, I’ve exhausted my spirit stones, so I can only withdraw with a spirit note.”

“If you don’t trust me, Master Wang can go to Tian Nan Immortal City’s Supreme Pavilion tomorrow to withdraw the spirit stones from this note first.” Han Yi did not refuse, placed the note representing ten thousand top-quality spirit stones into his Qiankun Bag. Yu Xi had given him the other ten thousand beforehand.

This level of trust was worth granting to Han Yi.

After receiving the money, Han Yi settled down under Yu Xi’s arrangement. In a quiet room of a side building in the left court of the Yu Family, Han Yi took out a Third-stage Mid-quality formation, the Great Mysterious Qiankun Array, and set it up, then immersed his mind into his Sea of Consciousness.

In his Sea of Consciousness, there were two grayish-white beads, occasionally showing some images on them. These were the soul shadows condensed by the Soul Searching skill.

Han Yi’s Divine Soul extended a hand, waved it, and summoned one of the soul shadows. With a thought, the soul shadow in front of his Divine Soul began to flicker quickly. In a quarter of an hour, Han Yi had already watched the scenes he needed to see.

Seeing some of the scenes, Han Yi’s face showed a cold sneer.

“As expected, the disappearance of Senior Brother Huo Ming is related to the Tuoba brothers. However, according to the memories displayed, Tuoba Tu does not have the intention to kill Huo Ming but to trap him instead.”

“I wonder what happened to Senior Brother Huo Ming.”

Han Yi summoned the other soul shadow and examined it. His findings were consistent with the first soul shadow he examined.

Next,

He moved his gaze and saw from the two soul shadows that Tuoba Tu and his three brothers had threatened many of the Yu Family’s business partners with both carrot and stick tactics, making the family’s situation worse and the time left for them shorter. This forced the Yu Family to seek a solution in Daqian.

However,

After all, it was Daqian, and Tuoba Tu and his brothers did not dare to be too conspicuous after arriving there. They only tried to hinder the Yu Family in secret, fearing retaliation from Daqian cultivators.

However, after Tuoba Tu left, Tuoba Li made his own decision, leading to the previous ambush near the Yu Family by the three brothers.

“It seems that the Yu Family did not lie.”

“Given the current situation, the greatest threats should be the Zhang Family’s head and Tuoba Tu. Both of them are in the Late-stage Golden Core level. I’ll have to show my trump cards to face them.”

“However, based on the current information, there is no life-threatening danger for me. Even if I can’t win, I can still escape.”

After obtaining most of the information from the soul shadows of Tuoba Li and Tuoba An, Han Yi felt a little more settled.

The next day, early in the morning,

Han Yi and Yu Xi flew out of the Yu Family residence, boarded his Red Moon Immortal Boat, and headed for Yu State Immortal City.

At the Yu Family,

Yu Wei withdrew his gaze, shining with a solemn light. Beside him, Yu Chen and Yu Liang had equally heavy expressions.

“I hope this trip goes smoothly.” Yu Chen muttered, more like a prayer.

Yu Wei nodded: “That’s all we can hope for.”

In a huge loft in the Tian Nan Immortal City, a middle-aged man received a message, his eyes flashing.

“Tuoba Li, Tuoba An, and Tuoba Di mysteriously died yesterday. This must be the Yu Family’s doing.”

“It seems I have to take action personally this time.”

“The Tai Yin True Body is of great help to Tu’er. I must force the Yu Family into submission even if it costs me my life, as long as there’s a chance to make our family the number one family in Daqin.”

“Hmph, otherwise, it wouldn’t be so troublesome.”

Zhang Hai, the current head of the Zhang Family, stood up, his aura thick and having completely solidified his Late-stage Golden Core cultivation base.

With a light flicker, he disappeared from the loft..
