Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World - Chapter 269 - 144: He Should Thank Us_4

“Doctor Chen, did you know that the Shen Fang next door turns out to be the concubine of the Demon Cultivator Ghost Face?!

She was insinuating to me, subtly and explicitly, that if I could help her man achieve Foundation Establishment,

She was willing to serve me all night, letting me experience the pleasure of becoming immortal!”

Liu Peng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead:

“Brother Chen, I almost fell for that foxy woman’s trap. If Tan Qing gets a genuine Foundation Establishment pill,

The consequences would simply be unthinkable!

Damn it, that Tan Qing. He even tried to use a woman to ensnare me! Luckily, I have such good self-control, or else I would have made a huge mistake!”

Chen Yi chuckled and drank the toast from Liu Peng, thinking to himself, how could I not know about you?

It wasn’t your willpower that saved you, but luck. She didn’t get that genuine Foundation Establishment pill.

Chen Yi nevertheless empathized with Liu Peng’s fright. If Tan Qing had successfully established his foundation, Liu Peng, who contributed to the improvement of the Foundation Establishment Pill and slept with Shen Fang, would certainly be held accountable in the event of future revelation. Let alone Liu Peng himself, who has collaborated with the demon cultivator.

“Hehe, don’t worry Brother Liu. The Cold-faced Sword Cultivator Wang Tengfei has already taken care of this issue. With the help of the Law Enforcement Team of the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance, we can live our lives peacefully!”

“Yeah, yeah. By the way, Brother Chen, do you know what Senior Wang Tengfei likes? Would you mind introducing me if you have time?”

Chen Yi shook his head with a bitter smile, “Brother Liu, you’re thinking too much. He’s a figure at the Foundation Establishment level and works in the official Law Enforcement Team. How could someone like me mingle with him? He gave me face by coming to find me. If I were to cling to him, I would be ungrateful and disrespectful.

Let’s just forget about this.”

Thinking of his father’s lofty position, Liu Peng agreed with Chen Yi’s sentiment; “You’re right, Brother Chen. We can’t reach people of that stature. Let’s forget about that. Let’s drink!”

…

About several days ago,

The moment Tan Qing died,

On one of the larger islands near Spirit Fish Island,

The Tan Family.

Tan Dezheng, the Tan Family Head and a middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, suddenly received a report from his subordinates:

“Head of the family, bad news. Third Uncle’s Soul Lamp has extinguished!”

Tan Dezheng’s expression changed and rushed to investigate.

A dozen years ago, Tan Dezheng was hunting the demon cultivator Ghost Shadow on Spirit Fish Island. He discovered the man was his youngest brother and decided to let him go.

Later, Tan Qing, also known as Tan Deqing, sent him a secret letter stating that he discovered the secret entrance to an ancient relic through a secret point in the demon path. As soon as he successfully established his foundation, he would return to the family to reveal the location of the secret entrance.

Unfortunately, Tan Dezheng didn’t wait for Tan Qing’s secret, but instead received news of Tan Qing’s death.

“Feng’er, if you have time then go to Wangyue Island and investigate your Third Uncle’s death. You can forget about his belongings, but we must retrieve the location of the entrance to the ancient relics! Our Tan family members should not die in vain, and our properties should not be left outside.

Remember, this is top secret; you must investigate privately!”

After pondering for a while, Tan Dezheng located his third son Tan Feng on Qinglong Island and sent him a confidential letter. Thanks to Tan Feng’s recent Foundation Establishment and his dual spirit roots, he could handle the situation conveniently.

Upon receiving the message, the third son of the Tan family returned home to discuss the matter in secret with his father,

Then he departed for Wangyue Island.

…

Half a year later, on Wangyue Island,

Chen Yi was presiding over a funeral in a shantytown in the outer city.

Liu Zhuzi and Cui Hua had reached the end of their life spans.

The couple had spent the second half of their lives consuming their life-force for their daughter Liu Emei’s spiritual roots. They had a few peaceful years after Chen Yi came to Wangyue Island. Knowing that their daughter Liu Emei was already a cultivator at the peak of Qi Cultivation’s sixth level and promising future, they died without regret, smiles on their faces.

Chen Yi presided over the funeral. Not many relatives and friends came.

Among the inhabitants of the Inner City, only Liu Peng came to pay his respects. He didn’t particularly have a relationship with Zhuzi couple. Instead, he wanted to forge closer ties with Chen Yi and get hints about the latter part of the beauty and health maintenance pill formula.

But this was clearly not a good time, and Chen Yi didn’t have time to pay him any attention.
