"Your mistress is presently in Martial Numinous Palace?" asked Yi Yun .

Xiaoqing replied, "Madam has been placed under house arrest by those people . As for where she is exactly, even I don't know . However, I do know that the person marrying Madam is named Li Yunshang . I have always had the suspicion that it was Li Yunshang who caused Master Wang to be in his present state . "

"Li Yunshang…"

Yi Yun nodded . The memories he obtained from searching Li Yunfeng's soul included Li Yunshang . He originally believed that Wang Mu's wife was a vicious woman and had abandoned her husband to seek out another man; therefore, he did not pay attention to Li Yunshang .

But things were different now . Yi Yun asked Xiaoqing a few more questions, filling the gaps in his understanding .

By the end of their conversation, the entire situation became more apparent to Yi Yun .

Li Yunshang was Li Yunfeng's cousin . There was a huge age gap between them . Furthermore, Li Yunshang was a lot more talented than Li Yunfeng . The two of them were on completely different levels of strength . Li Yunshang was already a candidate to be the Martial Numinous clan's Elder . He was the the most highly-regarded person in the Li family's younger generation .

The Li family was very influential in the Martial Numinous clan . As the Li family had a very unique heritage, they produced many alchemists . The Heaven Refinement Pavilion was actually mainly run by the Li family . For both of these reasons, the Li family controlled a huge amount of resources . Few people in the Martial Numinous clan would dare offend the Li family .

"That Li Jiuxiao is indeed considered quite a figure in the Martial Numinous clan . However, his strength is nothing much . He's only an ordinary Divine Lord . The people involved in Wang Mu's predicament are all from the Li family . It's very likely that the Li family is responsible for his current state . "

Yi Yun guessed that the Martial Numinous clan did not know of the Li family's machinations against Wang Mu . It was a secret operation of the Li family's design and only the essential people within the Li family knew of it . Even Li Yunfeng did not know . If he had, Yi Yun would have understood the entire situation when he searched his soul .

After the Li family learned that Wang Mu and his wife had obtained the location of the ancient herbal garden, they secretly disabled Wang Mu and seized his wife . It was all done to usurp the herbal garden for themselves . They did not even include the Martial Numinous clan in their plans .

"I'll take a trip to the Li family first!"

Yi Yun quickly made the decision . He knew from his memories what Wang Mu's wife looked like . Furthermore, the Li family was focused on alchemy, so it had few experts . As long as he was careful, they did not pose much danger .

"Thank you for helping, Young Master . "

Upon hearing what Yi Yun said, Xiaoqing's face revealed a look of delight . From the looks of it, Yi Yun was interested in the ancient herbal garden .

If Yi Yun managed to find her mistress, there was a chance that she would be saved as well . Now that Madam Wang's situation was still unclear, Xiaoqing was extremely worried about her .

"It's nothing . I'm doing it for my own interests, too . I happen to need some herbs . " Yi Yun did not conceal his intentions . He was capable of heroic deeds but this particular matter was a challenging one . It could even endanger his life . It was impossible for Yi Yun to just sacrifice himself to save others, but it was different when rewards were involved .

"You cannot be found by the Martial Numinous Palace now . Why don't you spend this time with Wang Mu's family?" suggested Yi Yun .

"Okay, thank you very much, Young Master . " Xiaoqing was overjoyed as she immediately nodded . Following that, she was sucked into the God Advent Tower that Yi Yun summoned out .

Yi Yun put away the God Advent Tower and looked around . With a flash, he vanished from where he stood . The next instant, he appeared several kilometers away . He walked casually into the main street and joined the crowds .

Yi Yun naturally knew where the Li household was after probing Li Yunfeng's memories . He even had a general idea of how security in the Li household was, as well as where the important members of the Li family lived .

He soon arrived at a spot a few thousand feet away from the Li household . He entered a tea shop, ordered, and slowly drank his tea . He waited until nightfall before he noiselessly crept up to the wall by the Li family's backyard . With a flash, he directly entered the Li household .

A bright moon hung high in the night sky . It draped the ground with a faint layer of silver . However, the bright moon failed to illuminate Yi Yun's shadow .

Yi Yun silently strolled through the Li family's backyard like a intelligent cat . Wherever he passed, space would distort, completely concealing his presence . As such, even when Yi Yun approached the guards, they failed to notice anything .

The strongest person in the Li family was Li Yunshang's father, Li Qijian . He was the patriarch of the Li family .

Yi Yun would dread it if he had to fight Li Qijian but according to Li Yunfeng's memories, Li Qijian had been in seclusion for several years . A person in seclusion was fully focused on cultivation so Yi Yun was not afraid that he would be discovered by him .

Following the layout according to the memories, Yi Yun slowly approached Li Yunshang's residence . He believed that was where he would most likely find Wang Mu's wife .

…

At that moment in the Li household—

Li Jiuxiao's figure landed inside a yard . He was fuming with anger as the aura he released sent quakes throughout the yard . If not for the array formation protecting it, the house might have already collapsed .

The servants in the yard kept silent .

"Uncle, don't be angry over Yunfeng any longer . I'm sad for Yunfeng's passing too . "

A somewhat neutral sounding voice was heard as a man in white walked into the yard .

He was none other than Li Yunshang .

He had long hair and he held a jade flute in his hand . His clothes fluttered in the wind, making him look like a distinguished scholar of the mortal world .

Li Jiuxiao sighed . "If Yunfeng had your strength, he would not have suffered such an outcome . "

Li Yunshang sighed lightly and said, "It's truly a pity for Yunfeng, Uncle . However, don't let the anger consume you . We still have an important matter to take care of . Once it is done, we will find some herbal treasures that will definitely improve your body . Your strength will be further enhanced . When that time comes, you might even be able to have offspring more excellent than Yunfeng . I believe he will rest in peace in the netherworld, knowing that our family is stronger . "

Upon hearing Li Yunshang's words, Li Jiuxiao felt enlivened . Indeed, if they found the ancient herbal garden, his strength could improve once again . In comparison, the loss of a son would be something he could view as an acceptable loss . He could just have another one .

"Are you done with that woman?"

Li Yunshang nodded . "Almost done . I have already fed her a Mind Loss Gu . I can control some of her actions . In a few days, her mind will be completely under my control . "

"Alright, that's good…"

Li Jiuxiao drew in a deep breath . His nephew had a myriad of methods at his disposal and he was very vicious . Wang Mu had succumbed to him without even knowing it .

As for Wang Mu's wife, Li Yunshang had used another method . He did not silence her but instead aimed to slowly take control of her mind . He planned on adding her to his harem and slowly using her for dual cultivation .

Even Li Jiuxiao felt a chill down his back when he saw such relentless schemes . In the future, when Li Yunshang had fully developed his strength and became the Li family's patriarch, it was unknown what was in store for him . Regardless, Li Jiuxiao did not wish to offend his nephew . If he made a wrong move, there might come a time when he ended up succumbing to Li Yunshang's tricks without even knowing it .

Upon realizing this, Li Jiuxiao shook his head and said, "Yunshang, have a rest . I still have some pills to refine so that I can treat that guest…"

As Li Jiuxiao spoke, he began walking to his alchemy lab .

As for Li Yunshang, he returned to his residence . Following that, a woman with an enchanting figure and foxy eyes walked out from a tiny yard .

"Young Master Yunshang, you are finally back . "

The woman helped Li Yunshang onto a couch before she knelt down and began taking off his shoes .

Li Yunshang allowed the woman to serve him as he asked, "Any updates on the woman?"

The woman began massaging Li Yunshang's feet with the perfect touch . Every knead was precise and even had a certain nomological charm . Clearly, the woman was an expert as well . She was definitely not a useless flower vase; yet, she was willing to act subservient to Li Yunshang .

"She's been in a daze all day . She just sits there all day . I have no idea what's running through her mind . "

"I see . " Li Yunshang nodded . The Mind Loss Gu's effects were turning more apparent . In a few days, her mind would fall under his complete control, making her into a perfect sex slave he could use . When that time came, he could use her to cultivate in his 'Pure Bliss Sutra . '

Upon thinking of this, the corners of Li Yunshang's mouth curved up . Wang Mu's wife had a unique bloodline . She was the perfect tool for his cultivation of the Pure Bliss Sutra . Unfortunately, Wang Mu had wasted a perfectly good treasure by taking his wife's primordial Yin . Li Yunshang had long wanted this woman for himself .

Meanwhile, there was no one in the yard . Space began to slightly distort as Yi Yun stood silently there .

He had heard the entire conversation between Li Jiuxiao and Li Yunshang .

"Mind Loss Gu… This Li Yunshang sure is vicious . " Yi Yun looked coldly at the spot where Li Yunshang had stood .

However, he would only stir the Li family if he killed him now .

Yi Yun turned to look at where the female servant had walked out from . He would not be surprised if Wang Mu's wife was located inside the small yard .

There were a few guards patrolling the yard's interior . At the same time, there were a few female servants waiting by the door . And he could sense a person inside the building . It was very likely Wang Mu's wife .

"Since I want to access the herbal garden, saving Wang Mu's wife is only right . It's not only for me to gain information, it also allows me to repay the favor to them . " Yi Yun had such thoughts as he infiltrated the yard without being detected .

The people in the yard did not discover Yi Yun at all . Soon, Yi Yun came to a spot outside a building . All he needed to do was put Wang Mu's wife into the God Advent Tower and secretly sneak away .

But at that moment, something out of the ordinary happened!

Yi Yun suddenly sensed a cold aura rapidly sweep past the area above the small yard . Following that, the aura rapidly locked onto him!

Yi Yun instantly felt his limbs turn cold .

Who is it!?

Yi Yun had been especially careful in everything he did tonight . Apart from Li Qijian, Yi Yun did not believe that anyone would be capable of discovering him .

Could Li Qijian have exited seclusion?

That's not right!

Yi Yun suddenly sensed that the cold aura was familiar . An image that left him stifled appeared in his mind .

The aura belonged to… Myriad God Patriarch!!

Yi Yun suddenly recalled that Li Jiuxiao had mentioned that he was refining pills for a guest to treat his injuries . Could the injured guest be Myriad God Patriarch?
