Blue and clear above the sky.

A quick streak of light crossed, with Han Ye sitting on a large sword about a meter wide, expressing his amazement consecutively.

“Miss Chu, can you fly with a sword?”

“Is that very strange?”

Chu Xianyu stood on the flying sword, her posture liberal, her white skirt fluttering in the wind, looking like a female sword Immortal.

“I only just learned, even a Qi Cultivation Realm cultivator, as long as they have a flying sword magic treasure, once they master the sword-controlling technique, flying is not a difficult task. Nowadays, almost all flying swords can achieve this. If one wants to fly in the sky, they need to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm or the Golden Core Realm.”

“The small town is still some distance away from the sect, so flying over with a

sword is faster.’1

Chu Xianyu patiently explained to Han Ye.

“Miss Chu, you know a lot.”

Han Ye embarrassedly laughed, he was actually not clear about these common knowledge details.

He looked at the figure in front, curiously asking:

“Miss Chu, with your talent, your cultivation level must be very high, right?” Chu Xianyu shook her head, her fair hand still forming a spell, she earnestly said, “I have not been cultivating for long. 1 spent most of my childhood in the Sword Tomb. However, I should be establishing the foundation soon.”

“What? You’re about to establish the foundation, so fast!

Han Ye was stunned when he heard that the other party was about to establish the foundation.

The establishing of the foundation, that meant she was probably a cultivator in the Qi Sea Realm, or the Perfection Realm.

This seemed too fast.

She only looked about eighteen years old.

“I remember you had triple spirit roots and a Tyrant King Bloodline?” Chu Xianyu, with her white gauze conical hat, looked at Han Ye through her veil, observing his sturdy arm, the pure masculine spirit that was enough proof of the hardships Han Ye had undergone in forging his body.

Han Ye did not expect that she had noticed him, he said, surprised, “I didn’t know you remembered, Miss Chu.”

Chu Xianyu looked towards the road ahead, leisurely said, “Cultivators are classified into Pill Cultivators, Talisman Cultivators, Body Cultivators, Sword Cultivators, and so on. Each person is skilled in different areas, and their achievements later on are also different. Sword Cultivators mostly focus on killing and are known for their fierce energy, but sometimes, they are no match for the formidable physical strength of Body Cultivators. They can defend as well as attack. I have seen the Body Cultivators who fought against my father, and each one of them was able to move mountains and fill the seas. Their vitality was as robust as a dragon, and they could fiercely withstand ancient artifacts using their bare hands.”

“If you can make good use of this gift, who could underestimate you in the future?”

Han Ye knew that she was comforting him.

Though Chu Xianyu seemed pretty innocent in life, in the domain of cultivation, she was absolutely a genius and had extraordinary insight, too.

He had purposefully researched the Chu Family of Fuyao State; this was an exceptional family. They not only practiced swordsmanship for generations and were a swordsmanship family, but also, their ancestors were among the carriers of the Middle Ancient Eight Swords, and their ancestry held an esteemed position in Fuyao State.

The so-called Middle Ancient Eight Swords were apparently the supreme swordsmanship lineage of Fuyao Sword Palace, the keeper of Fuyao State, whose ancestors were the highest sword immortals, each sword of theirs was an immortal artifact.

Han Ye and Chu Xianyu landed in a small town as they left Qingyun Immortal Mountain.

The small town was bustling, with crowds of people coming and going in the marketplace. There were taverns, pawnshops and workshops on both sides. There were also many small vendors under big umbrellas on the open spaces on both sides. With teahouses, inns, fortune-telling stalls, pork shops and everything else one could think of, the crowds were commotion brewing with excitement.

“This is the Government Office, we have come to take the case, to show that we

have arrived.”

Han Ye stood at the entrance of the Yamen, gazing at the large characters on the plaque, and said so.

“In such a hurry?”

Chu Xianyu pouted her mouth under her veil, apparently not willing to tackle the task so quickly.

Han Ye said solemnly, “The Chamberlain’s Mansion has been harassed by evil spirits, the earlier we solve it, the sooner the small town will regain peace. He took out his Identity Jade Plate and displayed it in front of the two guards at the entrance.

“You guys posted a commission here, I am a disciple of Dragon Sparrow Sect, especially coming to handle this matter.”

“Greetings to the two Immortals.”

The guards, looking at their attire, greeted them with fists, clearly aware of the reputation of Dragon Sparrow Sect, their tone was quite respectful.

One of the guards hurriedly went in to report, and soon a middle-aged man came out.

The man was dressed in a black silk gown, wearing a cassock hat, a long knife at his waist, wearing leather boots, showing signs of middle-aged prosperity, his stride exuding a vigorous spirit, indeed rather imposing.

Seeing his attire, Han Ye guessed he should be the person in charge of the guards.

“The arrival of the Immortals is just in time, I’m Liu Fugui, the captain here. The immortals are indeed extraordinary, it seems this case will be solved.” Liu Fugui wore a smile on his face and greeted the two very courteously. For them, the disciples of Dragon Sparrow Sect, were definitely esteemed guests, rare nobilities.

Seeing Liu Fugui, Han Ye was reminded of the Liang County Magistrate and his former self, leading to a lot of emotions.

The Liang County Magistrate had been promoted for a long time, he wondered how he was doing now.

“There’s no need for formalities, Captain Liu, let’s get straight to business.

Han Ye said calmly.

If the government officials seek assistance from a sect, they have to issue a commission. Compared to waiting for cultivators from the royal court, asking for local cultivators is much faster. The main reason is that if they asked for help from higher-ups, it would give superiors the impression that they are incompetent in case handling and that local unrest is taking place. Also, the procedures for court cultivators to travel here would take a quite long time, so the officials usually ask for disciples from sects to handle the situation.

“Alright, the place of occurrence is in Chamberlain Chen’s mansion. Immortal, please follow me.”

Liu Fugui readily agreed, and took Han Ye and Chu Xianyu to Chamberlain’s mansion.

Just before leaving, Han Ye saw a familiar face posted on the notice board at the yamen’s entrance—a wanted order.

The features on this wanted order resembled Lin Shihuang’s a lot.

Han Ye could confirm the person on the wanted order is Lin Shihuang.

Who says all wanted orders look like jumbled drawings. Doesn’t this one look very similar?

“Is this the fugitive you need to capture?”

Han Ye asked the captain.

Liu Fugui honestly nodded, “The royal court issued the order a month ago. Could it be, Immortal, that you have seen this man?”

Han Ye’s face showed no expression, “I haven’t seen him.”

“You don’t need to worry then. The court wants to capture many people. There are quite a few every month.”

The three of them made their way through the market and streets. Meanwhile, Chu Xianyu was looking left and right at the stalls with paper figures, straw weaving, wooden utensils as they passed by. It seemed she was quite interested in those exotic and novel toys.

When she saw the candied hawthorn at the corner of the street, she swallowed her saliva.

Seeing her like this, Han Ye, unable to stifle a smile, took out some copper coins from his storage ring and said to the vendor:

“Get me a large string.”

“Alright, sir, here you go!”

“Here you go.”

Chu Xianyu took the candied hawthorn handed over by Han Ye with some confusion, “Weren’t you out of money?

“I have silver, but I don’t have spirit stones.”

Han Ye spread his hands, looking helpless.

“If you don’t have spirit stones, you can borrow from me, I have lots.”

Chu Xianyu said earnestly.

-Why didn’t you say that earlier?” Han Ye replied with a bitter smile. If he knew he could borrow money earlier, why would he accept the task?

The trio quickly arrived at the entrance of Chamberlain’s mansion.

Just as Han Ye stepped into the gate, a hysterical voice came from inside.

“It’s the lady! She is back!”

A woman with a pale face charged out from the mansion, her panic-stricken self behind Han Ye, clutching the sleeve of this young man standing in front of her, as if it were her lifeline. Despite her messy hair and the disarray in her appearance, one could still tell she was a beauty.

“Madam! Madam!”

Many maids came rushing out from behind, obviously searching for her. Liu Fugui, who was standing on the side, sighed, and explained to Han Ye, -Lady Chen is Chamberlain’s concubine. But barely seven days after she entered, she went completely mad, presumably due to a shock.” “Ahem!” Han Ye gave a light cough, calmly pulled his sleeve back, and reassured, “Lady, you do not need to panic. With us here, the evil aura will not dare to get out of line.”

“Yes, these two are disciples of the Dragon Sparrow Sect. They can deal with the evil force, and assure your safety. Come back over here and don’t bother the immortal anymore.”

Liu Fugui reassured her verbally, but his eyes were roaming all over Lady Chen. He thought to himself, Chamberlain Chen really knows how to enjoy life with such a young and beautiful woman.

He extended his hand, intending to pull her back.

But Lady Chen raised her frightened face, took one look at Liu Fugui, then another at Han Ye, and with a stutter, seemed to regain some of her senses for a brief moment. She immediately flung off Liu Fugui’s lecherous hand, shouting:

“No! This young master gives me more reassurance!

Then, she clung onto Han Ye’s arm, crying and wailing, “Immortal, you must protect me! The main lady, she came back last night. I did not harm her, but she has been haunting me!”

“On the first day I moved in, I felt something was off, I served tea to her spirit tablet, but the tea inexplicably spilled. On the night my husband met with an accident, his manner of death was hanging, exactly the same as hers. Not only that, but his pre-death appearance and facial expression were identical to how the main lady looked when she was laid to rest!”

“Immortal, save me!”

Han Ye and Chu Xianyu glanced at each other, then turned their heads, looking serious and told her earnestly:

“Lady, please slow down, and describe the details as clearly as possible.”
