Chapter 1171 Xuanyu 27
"More than two hundred years ago, she suddenly appeared at the birthday banquet of Sang Yue, the commander of the Western Sea Navy, and turned the banquet upside down, but she herself escaped unscathed."
"After that, she disappeared from public view until recently, when she suddenly reappeared with the Sword Sect."
Huang Yuxiang frowned: "There isn't much information here."
Huang Wuyue: "It's because my granddaughter is incompetent and couldn't find out more information, and it's also because she's too low-key."
Huang Yuxiang: "I already know about the matter. Try to gather as much information as possible about that Xuanwei Merman. I will contact you again tonight."
Huang Wuyue nodded respectfully: "Yes."
Huang Yuxiang looked at her with eyes full of satisfaction: "Well done, Wuyue, you are worthy of being my granddaughter."
If he can achieve merit here, won't his future cultivation path be smoother?
Tan You, who had overheard the entire process, cracked her knuckles. Sure enough, there were quite a few people in the Upper Realm watching her. Even a Celestial Lord like Huang Yuxiang was now sharpening his knives, eager to use her to gain merit.
As for the people behind Huang Yuxiang...
Speaking of the surname Huang...
Tan You calculated with her fingers for a long time before finally smiling. So that's how it is. This Huang family is actually a branch of the Huangfu clan from the Upper Realm in the Lower Realm. That makes sense. She had heard from the Star Chart that Helian Qiao also had a wife from the Huangfu clan.
It seems the other party has a daughter?
Therefore, it's understandable why the Huangfu clan is keeping a close eye on him. The identities of the two Helian women—whether they are his own or from the Huangfu clan—are worth investigating.
The mirror dimmed, and Huang Wuyue gasped for breath, her face turning ashen. She quickly swallowed a Rejuvenation Pill before looking at Huang Wuxiang: "I will stay in the family for one day and come to the ancestral hall again tonight."
Huang Wuxiang quickly bowed and replied, "Yes, I will have someone arrange a quiet room right away."
After Huang Wuyue left with her maid, Huang Wuxiang, the Grand Elder, and several other elders exchanged glances and quickly met up in another secret room. Tan You strolled leisurely behind them, showing no embarrassment at having eavesdropped.
Inside the secret chamber, the Grand Elder was the first to set up a soundproof array: "She must have come back for something important."
Second Elder: "It's obvious, we absolutely cannot let ourselves get caught up in this."
The Third Elder stopped stroking his beard: "I agree with what Second Brother said. Cultivation is not easy for us, so we should meddle less in the affairs of the Upper Realm."
The other elders also expressed their willingness to help gather information or pass on messages, but they would never go through fire and water for them!
Hearing that everyone shared the same thought, Huang Wuxiang felt relieved: "My thoughts are the same as the elders'. Those of us who failed to join the sect are simply not talented enough."
"We've basically given up on the idea of ascension, so naturally we need to manage the family business well. To put it bluntly, no matter how illustrious our ancestor was, he has already ascended to heaven, so how could he possibly benefit us?"
In the end, we are the ones who do the work for others.
Tan You smiled but remained silent. So, where in this world are there any fools? When it comes to their own interests, everyone sees things very clearly.
Huang Wuyue and even Huang Yuxiang wanted to gain merit through their own efforts, but the Huang family members were certainly unwilling. Now it was up to Huang Wuyue to decide what to do.
If Huang Wuyue were to run into them herself… Tan You chuckled lightly, realizing it had been a long time since she had taken any lives. That evening, the same group of people gathered at the ancestral hall. This time, Huang Wuyue didn't need to use her bloodline summoning technique; after the spirit mirror lit up, Huang Yuxiang gave up his seat, his attitude exceptionally humble, unlike his arrogant demeanor at noon.
Jin Han and Tan You communicated telepathically: "He... really looks like a dog."
The Devouring Dog growled unhappily, "Sister Jin Han, don't drag me along."
It was a small, pure black dog that Tan You had met not long ago when she arrived in the Western Continent. It was really well-behaved.
Jin Han gave a half-hearted apology: "I forgot we really have a little dog here."
Tan You pinched the Devouring Sky Dog's ear, her heart also filled with worry. Raising a demon beast with divine beast blood was incredibly difficult. Perhaps she should try to fleece those powerful demons again?
In any case, those mixed bloodlines in their bodies are useless to them, and instead hinder the cultivation of the demon beasts.
Jin Han and the Devouring Dog both fell silent. Although Tan You's array formations were unparalleled, who knew what kind of methods these Upper Realm Immortal Lords used? What if they could see through Tan You's array formations?
"This is Young Master Rong from the Huangfu family. Hearing about the news of the Xuanwei Merfolk, Young Master Rong specially took time out of his busy schedule to come here. Wu Yue, please tell us everything you know about that Xuanwei Merfolk."
Huang Wuyue only dared to steal glances at Huangfu Rong. She bowed slightly and quickly repeated her statement from the morning. Clearly, she had not received any additional information during the day.
After listening, Huangfu Rong remained silent for nearly an incense stick's time before finally saying, "I already know about this matter. You have done a good job in gathering information. What do you want?"
Huang Wuyue quickly lowered her head: "It's enough to be of help to Immortal Lord. Wuyue doesn't dare to ask for anything more."
Huangfu Rong merely curled his lips slightly: "That's fine then. I won't take advantage of you for nothing."
Soon Huang Yuxiang reappeared in the spirit mirror: "Young Master Rong has left. Wu Yue, this is a good opportunity for our Huang family. If we can kill this Xuanwei Merman, we can bring three family members to the Immortal Realm."
These words caused a stir among everyone in the ancestral hall. Even the elders who had been plotting that morning couldn't help but breathe heavily for a moment, but they quickly regained their composure.
The fact that they've offered such a huge benefit—leading three cultivators to ascend to the upper realm—suggests the difficulty must be extremely high.
Then think back to how Tan You managed to escape unscathed after causing a scene at Sang Yue's birthday party. Sang Yue was just one step away from ascending to the heavens as a dragon water lord...
Huang Wuyue still retained some rationality: "Grandpa, it's not that we're unwilling, but we just can't figure her out. Even cultivators in the Ascension stage can't do anything about her, so how could we..."
Huang Yuxiang's feverish mind gradually calmed down, and he gave a wry smile: "No wonder the higher-ups gave so many rewards, this matter is not easy to handle."
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's prioritize our own safety. Ultimately, this matter has nothing to do with us."
The struggle between the Xuanwei Merfolk and the Huangfu clan for the title of Supreme God is a major event that their small family in the lower realm can hardly get involved in. They'd probably only be good for serving others. They should just focus on their cultivation.
Huang Yuxiang was already quite satisfied that he could get some benefits from the Huangfu family by taking advantage of this information.
Huang Wuyue was also somewhat unwilling, but what could she do? Ultimately, she was not strong enough: "Then we will try our best to gather information about the Xuanwei Merfolk. We don't want to suffer losses for nothing."
Huang Yuxiang nodded: "That's the only way. From now on, I will contact the mortal realm on the first day of each month."
