The Immortal Who Returned from the Netherworld Road – Chapter 29

Ch 29: Undercurrents from All Sides

Xizhao Town, Villa Number Nine.

Xi Yang pushed open the villa door, took a hot shower in the bathroom, and then came to the training room he used specifically for cultivation.

He took out the fifteen rough stones, held the Primal Beginning Blade, and began to cut them. It took him an hour to cut all the rough stones. He obtained three high-grade Qingjing Stones, one high-grade Yellow Crystal Stone, and one high-grade White Crystal Stone; for mid-grade crystals, two Qingjing Stones, one Red Crystal Stone, two Black Crystal Stones, three Yellow Crystal Stones, and two White Crystals. Unfortunately, he didn’t collect enough of the five elements in high-grade crystals, otherwise, building a Spirit Gathering Array with high-grade crystals would definitely allow his cultivation to progress by leaps and bounds.

He made up his mind that he must raise his cultivation to Qi Refining Stage 4 the next time he entered the city. In the battle with Li Deng, he had an advantage in speed, but he was still far behind in strength. If it weren’t for the low-level magic item Primal Beginning Blade, the outcome of this battle would have been unknown.

Thinking of this, he took out the Primal Beginning Blade, and his Divine Sense swept over the hilt, discovering that there was actually an electronic component emitting a red light hidden in the head of the hilt. Xi Yang learned from books that this thing was called a locator, and some even had recording functions.

After crushing this thing, Xi Yang’s Divine Sense probed every corner of Villa Number Nine, and soon discovered dozens of electronic components emitting red light.

Xi Yang fell into silence. He didn’t need to guess who installed these electronic components; it was Liu Zhengtian.

Xi Yang was very disgusted with being monitored, and he didn’t expect this guy to have such a face. He smashed all these monitoring devices with a palm strike.

At the same time, inside the Liu Family Villa, a man wearing glasses hurriedly dialed Liu Zhengtian’s cell phone. “Boss, it’s bad. The monitoring devices installed in Villa Number Nine have all been destroyed!”

Liu Zhengtian’s slightly panicked voice came from the phone, “Xiao Liu, how did he find out? What are you guys doing? Didn’t I tell you to hide them well?”

“Boss, I don’t know about this! The other party suddenly found them, and almost at the same time, all the monitoring devices were uniformly destroyed! What should we do now?”

“Don’t panic, wait for me to come back before we talk about anything!” After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Old Wu asked from the side, “Master, is something wrong at home?”

Liu Zhengtian rubbed his brow and said, “Xi Yang has returned to Xizhao Town. He found all the monitoring devices in Villa Number Nine!”

Old Wu said in a deep voice, “What does the boss plan to do?” He gestured at his neck with his hand.

He sighed, “Last night, Wen Xiang sent the assassin Lao Deng to take action. Now Xi Yang is still alive, but Lao Deng is gone. What do you think happened?”

Old Wu said with an ugly expression, “Lao Deng died at his hands!”

Liu Zhengtian nodded, “It’s a pity that we lost the opportunity to befriend him. This kid might even resent us! Alas!”

Old Wu nodded, “Recently, Old Liu of the Zeng Family has secretly contacted his Senior Brother Liu Yuanjia! It is estimated that they plan to take action in the next few days!”

Liu Zhengtian smiled when he heard this, “Old Wu, don’t rush to process the property certificate for Villa Number Nine for Xi Yang.”

Old Wu nodded.

After destroying all the monitoring devices, Xi Yang calmly sat in the training room and calmed his mind. He began to set up the Spirit Gathering Array.

Inside the Xizhao Police Station, Zeng Xuancheng closed the office door tightly. He held a satellite phone and respectfully asked, “What are your orders, Lord?”

The voice coming from the phone was hoarse, “Li Deng of Yuanshi County is dead. The mission is to kill the murderer. The successful one can obtain the qualification to be promoted to a Yellow-Rank Assassin!” After saying that, the other party hung up the satellite phone.

Zeng Xuancheng put away the satellite phone. This was a rare opportunity for him.

Inside Villa Number Nine.

Xi Yang engraved the Spirit Gathering Array in the training room, and the Five Elements Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth continuously gathered in the training room.

Feeling the increasingly rich Spiritual Energy, Xi Yang immediately began to cultivate.

In the evening, Liu Zhengtian and the others returned to Xizhao Town.

As soon as Liu Jiazhou got out of the car, he went straight to Villa Number Nine.

The doorbell rang, and Liu Jiazhou’s voice sounded outside the door.

Xi Yang stopped cultivating when he heard the sound, and after inspecting himself, he found that fifty more strands of Spiritual Energy had appeared in his Dantian in this short afternoon. This made Xi Yang quite happy. Qi Refining Stage 3 required one thousand strands of Spiritual Energy. If he cultivated normally, when would he be able to condense that much? With the Spirit Gathering Array, everything would be several times faster. He exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and got up to go out.

Coming to the outside, Xi Yang asked as he opened the door, “Student Liu, what brings you here?”

After seeing Xi Yang, Liu Jiazhou’s eyes flickered, and he said with an apologetic expression, “I… I’m here to apologize to you! I couldn’t help you in the Longxi Rough Stone Exchange, I’m really sorry!” As he spoke, he slapped himself hard on the face a few times!

Seeing this, Xi Yang quickly grabbed his hand and comforted him, “You can’t be blamed for this. If it were me, I wouldn’t have acted rashly either. You just made the most correct choice, there’s no need to apologize. I’m not a short-sighted person. Given the situation at the time, even if you had helped, it wouldn’t have made any difference. The Wen Family’s strength is powerful, and we can’t contend with them.”

Liu Jiazhou was speechless with emotion.

Xi Yang smiled and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him, “Don’t be sad, it’s all in the past.”

Liu Jiazhou wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, revealing a smile, his eyes still filled with guilt and gratitude.

Xi Yang looked at Liu Jiazhou in front of him, and a feeling of emotion welled up in his heart. He understood that although Liu Zhengtian, as a businessman, was ruthless, he was unfeeling, but Liu Jiazhou was a man of great loyalty. This made him not know how to treat the Liu Family father and son for a while.

“Then I’ll go first, you can always find me if you need anything.” Xi Yang patted Liu Jiazhou’s shoulder and turned to leave. “There’s no ‘but’, I’m fine, aren’t I? Since you’re here, I’ll treat you to a meal this time!” As he spoke, Xi Yang quickly flipped through his phone. Then he smiled awkwardly, “Jiazhou, I don’t have the phone numbers of those restaurant owners, please ask them to deliver it!”

Liu Jiazhou laughed loudly, “Hahaha, I thought you had changed your personality, but I didn’t expect you to still be like this!” As he spoke, he took out his phone and ordered two dinners.

Xi Yang helplessly scratched his head, he was a little unable to adapt to the matter of making phone calls!

Not long after, the shop owner delivered the dinner, Xi Yang paid the money, and remembered his phone number.

The two finished their dinner in hand.

Liu Jiazhou suddenly opened his mouth and said, “Shouldn’t we go to evening self-study!” As he spoke, he cleaned up the tableware on the table.

Xi Yang looked at him in confusion and asked suspiciously, “Isn’t today Sunday? Do we still have to go to evening self-study?” He had no memory of going to evening self-study on Sundays at all.

Liu Jiazhou looked at Xi Yang like he was an alien, with a surprised expression on his face, and said, “Haven’t we always had evening self-study on Sundays? This is the school’s rule.”

Xi Yang suddenly understood after hearing this, slapped his forehead, and said with an embarrassed smile, “Oh! I almost forgot if you didn’t say so, in that case, let’s go quickly!” After saying that, he quickly packed his things.

Xi Yang closed the door, and the two ran towards the school.
