Chapter 2431 - Chu Tianxu’s Action

Empty Jade Sect was located in the edge of Spatiotemporal Region and was a superpower under Eternal Shrine.

This sect wasn’t large, with a few hundred thousand disciples. The sect was located on a magnificent ten-thousand-foot-tall mountain and had grand architecture all over it.

The Sect Leader, Yu Xuzi, was a Lower Rank 9 True God and was considered a famous martial artist in the region.

That day, a guest arrived at the grand hall of the sect and Yu Xuzi came out to greet this guests.

“Who is this? What do you want?”

With a long, smart robe and a clean look, Yu Xuzi sat on the main seat and stared at the black-shirted young man seated on a chair.

According to the report from a disciple, a top martial artist wanted to see the Sect Leader, and upon understanding that this guest was a Rank 9 martial artist, he decided to greet him.

However, Yu Xuzi carefully looked at the black-shirted young man but failed to recognize him.

“Senior Yu Xuzi, it is not worth knowing my name!”

The black-shirted young man shook his head and lightly said, “I am here today because I have something to discuss with you, senior!”

“What is it?” Yu Xuzi frowned. The person in front of him had hidden things and didn’t even say his name, so Yu Xuzi knew something was wrong.

However, the young man had a high cultivation rank and Yu Xuzi didn’t dare to provoke him.

“I wonder if senior has ever crossed paths with Palace Master Ling Chang from Ultimate Sword Domain?” The young man asked.

This man was the Secret Disciple of Zi Xiao, Chu Tianxu.

“Ling Chang?”

Yu Xuzi was surprised but he shook his head and said, “it has been a few hundred thousand years since Ling Chang let Empty Jade Sect, why would I continue to interact with her?”

Yu Xuzi remained calm but his mind spun quickly. Although he wasn’t a big character, he had heard a few things about the matters in Deity Plane.

In recent years, the matter with Qin Yun had been grave and Qin Yun had been a disciple under Ling Chang.

Furthermore, it seemed that Qin Yun and Ling Chang had both disappeared.

Yu Xuzi felt helpless. It seemed that someone wanted to find Qin Yun by using Ling Chang and his relationship, even going to the extent of investigating him.

“No longer interacting?”

A doubtful expression crossed Chu Tianxu’s stone face and he continued to ask, “Senior, from what I know, you saved Ling Chang back then. Ling Chang never forgets such things, she wouldn’t have cut off contact with you, right?”

“What? Do you think I am lying to you?” Yu Xuzi’s face hardened and he showed his displeasure outright.

“Senior, you have misunderstood, I did not mean this!”

Chu Tianxu shook his head and continued to explain, “I need help from senior and I hope you will agree to it. I will give you ten million Higher Grade Origin Stones as payment!”

“What is it?” Yu Xuzi asked. Although ten million Higher Grade Origin Stones were shocking, he would not do anything immoral for it.

“Very simple, lure Ling Chang out!” Chu Tianxu said.

“That is impossible!”

Yu Xuzi instantly rejected the idea and said, “I do not have any relationship with Ling Chang. How can I lure her out?”

He could tell the objective of the young man before him. The young man wanted to find Ling Chang through him, and then seek out Qin Yun.

He would definitely not help with this. Even if he could help, he wouldn’t do so.

“Senior, a hundred million Higher Grade Origin Stones, are you sure you want to give this up?”

Chu Tianxu’s eyes narrowed and he persuaded, “Such a number of Dawn Stones is enough to allow Empty Jade Sect to reach another level of power!”

“Young lad, I have practiced martial arts for one hundred and five thousand years. Do you think a hundred million Higher Grade Origin Stones is enough to buy me over?”

Yu Xuzi stood up in a fearful manner. With a cold face he demanded, “Please leave! The Empty Jade Sect will not accept you!”

“Senior, please do not rush!” Chu Tianxu waved his hand and remained on his seat with his large golden sword beside him, showing that he had no intention of leaving.

“Senior, I heard that your only son passed away unfortunately early in his life, leaving you behind one daughter. Your only granddaughter is clever and talented and you dote on her very much. You are preparing to send her to Eternal Shrine in a few more years?” Chu Tianxu lightly said as though he was a family of Yu Xuzi.

“What do you mean?” Yu Xuzi’s face instantly turned dark and he glowered.

“Nothing!”

Chu Tianxu’s stone face showed the hints of a smile and he continued, “I heard that recently, your granddaughter left Empty Jade Sect and I am afraid that she may not return!”

“Ridiculous!”

Yu Xuzi instantly shouted with pure rage. With a loud slam of his fist on the chair, it shattered the arm rest and Yu Xuzi roared, “What did you do to Chi’er?”

“Senior, relax!”

Chu Tianxu waved his hand and snickered, “Your cute granddaughter is not a guest at another place. If you are willing to help me with this, your granddaughter will naturally return, but if you don’t, then I cannot guarantee what will happen to her. For such a clever and cute girl, it would be a pity if she did not return!”

“You are seeking your death!”

Yu Xuzi had an outburst of anger. His granddaughter was his weak spot. If anyone dared to hurt her, it would be taking his life as well.

With that, Yu Xuzi opened his palm and thick, dark Origin Energy gathered into it. Strong auras rushed to the sky and instantly destroyed the roof of the palace.

“If you dare to take action, I really cannot predict what will happen to your granddaughter!” Chu Tianxu’s face remained calm and he threatened Yu Xuzi with an expressionless but cold face.

He was not afraid, not only because he had a trick up his sleeve, but because he himself was stronger than a regular Rank 9 True God.

“You…!” Yu Xuzi’s face darkened and he prepared to take another blow but was instantly stopped.

Shoosh shoosh shoosh!

The commotion in the grand hall had disrupted Empty Jade Sect and numerous disciples and elders rushed over.

“Everyone, stand down!”

Yu Xuzi waved his hand and motioned for everyone to retreat back. Thereafter, he turned towards Chu Tianxu and said, “Come with me to the secret room for a talk.”

“Alright!” Chu Tianxu nodded his head. He was not afraid of what Yu Xuzi would do. As long as Yu Xuzi could not see his granddaughter, he would not be rash.

With that, Yu Xuzi led Chu Tianxu into a secret room in Empty Jade Sect.

“Everyone, you should know that Empty Jade Sect is a superpower under Eternal Shrine. Asking me to do this is turning you against Eternal Shrine.”

In the secret room, Yu Xuzi stared at Chu Tianxu and spoke with a cold, sharp voice. He was suppressing the rage in his heart.

“Of course I do!”

Chu Tianxu nodded his head slightly before continuing, “However, that is not important. What is important is that the moment you take a wrong step, your granddaughter will be gone forever!”

Chu Tianxu was fearful of Eternal Shrine indeed. Otherwise he wouldn’t have had to resort to such a method. Yet, he had his plans and he was sure nothing could go wrong.

“You…!” Yu Xuzi could feel his heart burning with anger. However, he was worried for his granddaughter and could not risk anything.

A few moments later, Yu Xuzi took a deep breath and asked, “If I help you, can you guarantee Chi’er’s safety?”

“I have nothing against you and we do not have grudges against each other. As long as you help me lure Ling Chang out, I will naturally make sure your granddaughter returns safely!” Chu Tianxu seriously assured him.

“Alright, what do you want me to do?” A long while later, Yu Xuzi asked with a hoarse voice. He could not be rash over this and could only agree to Chu Tianxu’s request.

“Senior, this is what you should do…!”

A few moments later, Chu Tianxu told Yu Xuzi his plan to lure Ling Chang out.

The two remained discussing in the secret room for fifteen minutes. Only after the plan had been finalised did Chu Tianxu leave.

Yu Xuzi personally sent off Chu Tianxu.

After Chu Tianxu left, Yu Xuzi did not remain idle and he immediately called forth the higher-ups of Empty Jade Sect to discuss their next move.

At the same time, he assigned men to investigate Chu Tianxu’s identity.

For Yu Xuzi, his granddaughter Chi’er had to return safely. But at the same time, he could not let Ling Chang get into a predicament.

After all, Ling Chang had been his prime disciple in Empty Jade Sect. Although Ling Chang left eventually, she had never forgotten her gratitude to him.
