Han Duanyu has a wide range of friends. He has made many good friends and is well-informed.
"Where did you hear this? Is the news reliable?"
Han Benzhi frowned and asked, to a certain extent, Taixu Sect, the Lu family and the Han family are enemies. If the enemy is in trouble, the Han family will not be polite.
"This was told to me by Liang Qingfeng from the Liang family on Liuli Island. According to him, Chen Li and Lu Haibin were killed. This was witnessed by a Jindan cultivator from the Liang family, so it shouldn't be wrong."
Han Duanyu said seriously that he and Liang Qingfeng had been very close over the years, and Liang Qingfeng had accidentally let this slip. Liang Qingfeng did not know the relationship between the Han family and the Taixu Sect.
"This matter is not that simple. Second uncle suddenly asked us to find out the news about Taixu Sect and the Lu family. It seems that Tinghai Pavilion has also discovered something. Let's contact more people and find out about the situation of Taixu Sect and the Lu family. It's best not to alarm Taixu Sect and the Lu family. Duan Yu, you have a wide range of friends, so I'll leave this matter to you."
Liu Weiwei instructed, Han Duanyu was born with talents that would be useful to him. He was good at dealing with people. He had connections with the playboys of various forces and could get a lot of information.
"Got it, Mom. I'll take care of it."
Han Duanyu patted his chest and agreed. This was a great opportunity for him to show his talent.
Liu Weiwei gave Han Duanyu a few instructions and asked him to find out the news. She also contacted the Han family's spies in Haoran City to find out the news about Taixu Sect.
Half a month passed quickly.
In a secluded green-tiled courtyard, Han Changshuo, Lu Yun and Wu Xueli were discussing the art of alchemy.
Because of the relationship between Taixu Sect and the Lu family, they stayed in Haoran City temporarily. In their spare time, they exchanged alchemy techniques.
Lu Yun has been in the Jindan stage for many years and is the alchemist with the highest level of alchemy in Tinghai Pavilion. However, Han Changming's alchemy level is higher than hers. The Han family also uses alchemy to gain a foothold in the outer sea.
Lu Yun is very conflicted now. Han Changshuo is a disciple of Tinghai Pavilion. If she teaches him more, will it be like a sparrow taking over the cuckoo's nest? After all, Han Changshuo only joined Tinghai Pavilion when he was an adult. Han Changshuo has a strong sense of belonging to the family. If she doesn't teach Han Changshuo, will it cause Han Changshuo to feel resentful and abandon Tinghai Pavilion in the future
If the Han family had not produced so many Jindan cultivators, Han Changshuo's advancement to the Jindan stage would have been a good thing for Tinghai Pavilion. But the fact is that the Han family has produced many Jindan cultivators. The stronger Han Changshuo's ability is, the greater the chance that Tinghai Pavilion will change its owner.
"Junior Brother Han, can't you find your brother? His alchemy skills are not low, and he has received guidance from Master Ling Xiao. If you have his guidance, you will improve faster."
Lu Yun talked about Han Changming. She was able to save her life this time thanks to the help from the Han family.
"I asked the clan leader, and he said that my ninth brother had gone out and had not yet returned. I don't know the specific situation."
Han Changshuo shook his head and said that he knew Han Changming had returned to the inland sea, but according to Han Zhangxiang's order, he still pretended not to know.
Lu Yun was a little disappointed. She wanted to make a deal with Han Changming and exchange it for a Xuepo Yuling Pill!
Just then, a sound transmission note flew in and landed in front of them.
Wu Xueli crushed the sound transmission talisman, and Ye Xin's voice suddenly rang out: "Fellow Daoist Lu, I have something to talk to you about. It's about the Taixu Sect and the Lu family."
"It's my ninth brother's wife!"
Han Changshuo showed joy.
"Junior Brother Han, please ask Madam Han to come in!"
Lu Yun instructed that according to the reports from the spies of Tinghai Pavilion, Taixu Sect and the Lu family had completely withdrawn to the inner sea. At least the high-level cultivators were gone. Regardless, the shops were still there and some staff were retained.
Han Changshuo responded and walked out quickly.
He opened the gate and invited Ye Xin in.
After a few pleasantries, Ye Xin got down to business: "Fellow Daoist Lu, we have made many inquiries and confirmed that Lu Haibin and Chen Li have been killed. They encountered a fourth-level monster and died in its belly. This was confirmed by Ye Xin personally from the Liang family's Jindan cultivator.
The Liang family had little dealings with the Taixu Sect and the Lu family, so they were naturally happy to do a favor for the Han family.
Lu Yun's eyes lit up, and she asked in a deep voice, "Mrs. Han, are you sure?"
"There is no mistake. They encountered a fourth-level monster. Even if they survived, they were seriously injured. Fellow Daoist Lu, are you interested in fighting them? The territories of Taixu Sect and Lu Family are not small. If we join forces with the three families of Qingyun Sect, we will definitely be able to take a few pieces of fat meat from Taixu Sect and Lu Family."
Ye Xin's tone was full of temptation. As soon as she arrived in Haoran City, Liu Weiwei reported to her that Han Changshuo had inquired about Chen Li and Lu Haibin. From the information collected by the Han family, Chen Li and Lu Haibin might have been killed. In order to verify this matter, Ye Xin personally went to find the Jindan cultivator of the Liang family. The Jindan cultivator of the Liang family repeatedly confirmed that Lu Haibin and Chen Li were killed.
This is an opportunity for the Han family and Tinghai Pavilion to expand. In recent decades, the Han family has collected immortal cultivation resources from the outer sea and then transported them back to the inner sea to increase the family's income. The family is able to encourage childbirth and cultivate more immortal cultivators.
"Is this your idea? Or is it your clan leader's idea? You can decide?"
Lu Yun narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a hint of doubt.
"I can make the decision. This matter has the tacit approval of our clan leader. What do you think, Brother Lu?"
Ye Xin's tone was heavy. Expanding territory was a major event that could be recorded in the clan's history.
Lu Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "I need to go back and discuss this with Senior Brother Liu. There is no rush. Let's first find out the situation of Taixu Sect and the Lu family before we take action."
This matter is of great importance, and she must discuss it with Liu Sheng before making a decision.
"No problem. If Fellow Daoist Lu has thought it through, you can go to Huludao to inform me. I am ready to return to the Inland Sea."
Ye Xin's tone was full of confidence.
There was a flash of surprise in Lu Yun's eyes. It seemed that the Han family had long planned to take advantage of this opportunity to expand their influence. It must be said that the Han family grasped the timing well.
"No problem, it's a deal."
Lu Yun agreed readily.
After chatting for a while, Ye Xin said goodbye and left.
"Let's go! Let's return to the inner sea and inform Brother Liu of the situation in the outer sea as soon as possible."
Lu Yun stood up, a cold light flashed in her eyes. This opportunity is rare and will never come again. This is the chance for Tinghai Pavilion to become stronger.
······
Golden Gourd Pavilion, third floor.
Han Benzhi, Liu Weiwei and Han Duanyu were talking about something. Han Duanyu performed well this time and heard a lot of useful information from many friends.
"Duan Yu, you did a good job this time. Your grandmother praised you."
Liu Weiwei praised with a smile on her face.
Han Duanyu looked very proud and said, "This is what I should do, it's nothing."
Ye Xin came up and they immediately stopped talking.
"Grandma, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Han Duanyu bowed with an excited look on his face. His aptitude was not good, but he was the eldest grandson after all, so Ye Xin still took good care of him.
"I heard from your mother that you have made a great contribution to the investigation of Chen Li and Lu Haibin's deaths. I will report the truth to the family and your contribution will not go away. However, please do not tell anyone about this matter. The family has special arrangements."
Ye Xin admonished, her face full of love.
"Got it, Grandma."
Han Duanyu agreed readily.
"I'm going back to the inner sea and won't be back anytime soon. If there's anything unusual in the outer sea, send someone to report it immediately. Got it?"
Ye Xin instructed that this time when she returned to the inland sea, she didn't know how long it would take before she could return to the open sea.
"Yes, mother."
Han Benzhi and Liu Weiwei agreed in unison.
Ye Xin took out a green storage bag and handed it to Liu Weiwei, saying, "Take this amount of cultivation resources. Don't slack off in your cultivation, especially Duan Yu. Aptitude cannot determine everything. God rewards hard work."
Han Benzhi and the other two agreed readily, but as to whether they listened to it or not, only they themselves knew.
Ye Xin gave a few instructions and left the Golden Gourd Pavilion.
Not long after, she appeared in the teleportation hall. The hall was bustling with people coming and going, and there were flashes of spiritual light.
After paying the spiritual stones, Ye Xin stood on a teleportation array. A dazzling spiritual light lit up from under her feet, drowning out her figure.
······
In a secluded courtyard, Lin Xuan was sitting on a stone bench, and a burly middle-aged man was reporting to him.
The Qingyun Sect was also developing in the outer sea. In this large-scale beast tide, the Qingyun Sect suffered heavy losses. True Man Qingyan also died under the siege of many third-level monsters, and dozens of disciples were killed or injured.
"Contact the other disciples immediately. We need to return to the inner sea to recuperate. We cannot stay in the outer sea for the time being."
Lin Xuan gave the order. More than 20 years have passed and Lin Xuan has advanced to the middle stage of Jindan. However, he was also injured in this large beast tide and had to return to the inland sea with his disciples.
"Yes, Uncle Lin."
The middle-aged man agreed and turned to leave.
