Immortal Taoist Lord: My Cultivation Have No Limits

After a while, Su Yu asked, “I’ve been in seclusion for a while. Has there been any changes or news in the Damei Black Market during this time?”

He asked Li Die’er to start recounting events from five years prior, and the fight had occurred three years before.

Li Die’er pondered for a moment, then began to relay events. Su Yu listened and nodded in acknowledgement, never interrupting her.

Soon, Li Die’er began to speak of the battle three years ago.

“Elder, you were in seclusion and didn’t see the fight. However, one of our Damei Prefecture’s talents managed to thoroughly defeat the three talents of the Taixu Immortal League and keep them here.”

“The Taixu Immortal League was furious and tried to retaliate without regard for the rules. Fortunately, in the end, they were stopped by the strong practitioners from Damei Palace, and our five talents of Damei Prefecture were not seriously harmed.”

“After the fight, a rumor began circulating in the market. It was said that a prodigy named Su Yu from our Damei Prefecture, a True Man, held a legendary spell known as the Golden Cicada, which supposedly concealed secrets to immortality within.”

“This rumor caused a great stir in the market. Many people discussed the Golden Cicada spell with envy, and some even coveted it, wishing to possess it themselves.”

“But unfortunately, that Su Yu is a True Man and was able to effortlessly kill the Core Formation second-stage talent of the Taixu Immortal League. With that level of strength, would we ordinary people dare to pry?”

Li Die’er narrated it as if it was a humorous anecdote: “So, after dreaming for a while, the market quickly returned to calm. After all, desiring the treasures of a True Man without having the strength is nothing but seeking death, isn’t it?”

“Afterwards, it seemed that the True Man Su Yu disappeared without a trace. I heard rumors that a talent from Damei Palace heard of demons appearing near Su Yu’s family, and thus set off to the Yunjian Sect’s territories to hunt demons.”

“Both the Yunjian Sect and Damei Palace issued decrees, threatening death to anyone who dare harm the Su Family.”

“Moreover…”

Without stopping her speech, Li Die’er continued to discuss recent events in the Damei Black Market.

Only after she finished, did Su Yu continue to draw out more information from her. Casually, but meticulously, he learned more about Damei Palace, Yunjian Sect, Su Family, and especially about demons.

“At first, the demons only caused a bit of chaos. However, more than a year ago, it appeared that the Taixu Immortal League took someone from the Su Family and then demanded that Su Yu bring the Golden Cicada spell for a trade.”

“Damei Palace couldn’t even resolve this matter. I’m not sure why, but I haven’t heard any news of Su Yu appearing.”

“I wonder if he accepted the Taixu Immortal League’s coercion or if he still doesn’t know about this news.”

Someone was taken?

Su Yu felt a jolt in his heart.

Getting out this piece of news, a chill flashed at the bottom of Su Yu’s eyes.

After asking Li Die’er to help him find some more material, Su Yu rewarded her with ten low-grade Spirit Stones, and gave her an additional ten as a tip. After that, he left the outer market.

“First, I must return to the Yunjian Sect’s territory.” Feeling a sense of urgency, the puppet Daoist emitted a flying shuttle artifact, entered its narrow space, and hurriedly rode the flying shuttle to the Yunjian Sect’s territory.

Eight Demons Ridge Market.

A few days before, Su Yu had lodged in one of the inns there and had spent several days gathering information about the Su Family and Yunjian Sect.

This place was not too far from the Su Family, so a lot of events that happened to the Su Family were circulated here.

At this moment, Su Yu’s expression dimmed in his room. He had found out who the Taixu Immortal League had seized and also knew vaguely some of the events that occurred in the Su Family and Yunjian Sect in the past three years—all of which were not good news.

“The Taixu Immortal League failed to find me, so they took Qianqing and Su Qi’s master-disciple duo instead. They relayed a message instructing me to bring the Golden Cicada spell to them within three years. Once I deliver it, they would release Qianqing and Su Qi.”

“Large numbers of demons and cultivators causing havoc again appeared in Yunjian Sect’s territory after hearing news of the Golden Cicada spell.”

“In order to find me, some members of the Su Family were harmed by the demons. Yunjian Sect also lost disciples to the demons.”

“It was not until Damei Palace and Yunjian Sect teamed up, beheading two Core Formation-stage demons and eliminating many other weaker demons that the situations for Yunjian Sect and Su Family improved slightly.”

“Aside from the news about the Taixu Immortal League and Nine Spirits Demon Palace, it seems there’s also someone from Fengluo Mansion lurking around here.”

“After Taixu Immortal League captured Qianqing and Su Qi, the demons from Nine Spirits Demon Palace also tried to emulate them. However, by that time, Taoist Friend Luo had already moved the crucial members of the Su Family into Yunjian Sect. They ended up capturing some collateral relatives of the Su Family, and sent a message demanding me to bring the Golden Cicada spell for trade, otherwise they would directly kill when the three-year deadline arrives.”

“Phew.”

After organizing the information he had gathered over the past few days, Su Yu took a deep breath. By implementing the Golden Cicada spell, his mind became clear, and his logical thinking and emotions were not affected at all.

After pondering for a while, he thought to himself: “There’s no major crisis in the family right now. They are safe in the Yunjian Sect.”

“So, I should keep myself in hiding.”

“As for the demons, or people from the Taixu Immortal League or Fengluo Mansion who might be lurking around the Su Family and Yunjian Sect —”

“I can’t take action now, I can’t confront them yet, to avoid startling the snake in the grass.”

“The most pressing matter is to head to the territories of the Taixu Immortal League and the Nine Spirits Demon Palace first, then rescue Qianqing, Su Qi, and the others.”
