Chapter 141 He Turned and Left

"Tell me, why did you leave the Five Absolutes Land this time and come to see me?"

Yue Lingke's mind moved, and the flying dust in the bamboo garden instantly fell to the ground, as if it was pressed heavily to the ground by an invisible big hand. The entire bamboo garden once again returned to its former peace and tranquility.

However, Cao Ze's heart moved slightly. Did this mean that his previous attack forced Yue Lingke to concentrate and respond, so he lost control of the surrounding environment?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel excited.

"I need the Earth Soul Crystal on the Demon Subduing Division's exchange list."

Straight to the point, Cao Ze stated his purpose directly.

"Earth Soul Crystal?"

Yue Lingke recalled the exchange list and frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about how to obtain the Earth Soul Crystal. She did not ask Cao Ze what she was going to do with it. If she asked, Cao Ze would naturally tell her the truth, but there was no need.

"It requires the merit of killing a Dragon God Temple Grandmaster to redeem it. If you accumulate it bit by bit, I don't know how long it will take to redeem it."

Cao Ze frowned slightly. He thought Yue Lingke would have a way, but he didn't expect that the Earth Soul Crystal was so rare.

Maybe we have to think of other ways!

Yue Lingke's mouth curled up with satisfaction, "But you are lucky, kid. This time I just happened to get the position of a Dragon God Temple Grandmaster, and I am preparing to encircle and suppress him!"

"You can go with me then!"

Cao Ze's fighting ability is now comparable to that of a master, so she is no longer worried about his safety. It is a good opportunity for her to take him out to broaden his horizons and let him see what the battle between masters is like.

……

In a remote alley in the west of Haijiao City, on the road that Cao Ze had to take to return home from the inner city, Meng Qifan, disguised as a vendor pushing a cart, looked a little impatient.

He didn't expect that the boy was so slippery. After leaving the Five Absolutes Land, he did not go home directly, but went to the Yue family.

"Isn't that kid not going home today?"

Meng Qifan was furious. As a great master, he had condescended to wait here for a long time at great trouble, but the prey did not come. Naturally, he was angry.

But he didn't leave immediately.

Cao Ze has few chances to get out of the Five Absolute Land, so he must seize it. No one knows when that guy will go in again, and it is very likely that there will only be one chance.

"It is an honor for you to have a master spend so much effort on you and to die at his hands!"

Meng Qifan looked towards the direction of the inner city gate, sneering and muttering to himself.

……

After leaving Yue's house, Cao Ze and the other man were in a good mood and walked slowly towards the outer city.

After such a long period of seclusion and cultivation, Su Xiaozhi also felt a little homesick. Although wherever Cao Ze was was her home, there was more than just Cao Ze in her life.

"Fresh shrimp dumplings, tender rice rolls, these delicious dishes can't wait. Don't miss them if you pass by. Try them, they are unforgettable..."

Walking on the busy streets, the fragrance seemed to have a spiritual scent wafting to the tips of their noses.

After half a year of hard training, the two men, who had been relying on dry food every day, suddenly began to feel greedy.

"Brother Ze, Xiaoyu really likes rice noodle rolls..."

Su Xiaozhi held onto Cao Ze, and said she was unable to move.

Cao Ze also went with the flow, "In that case, let's buy some for her!"

"Boss, give me three servings of rice noodle rolls and three baskets of shrimp dumplings!"

Su Xiaozhi couldn't wait to take out the silver. As she smelled the fragrance, the smooth taste of rice noodle rolls involuntarily emerged in her mind, and saliva began to secrete in her mouth.

At this moment, a hand suddenly rested on Cao Ze's shoulder!

Cao Ze was filled with fear and the hairs on his back stood on end.

With his current level of cultivation and his sea-watching instinct, he would be able to react even if the Grandmaster approached, but this hand actually rested on his shoulder silently.

If the other party had malicious intentions, he would probably have died.

"Brother Cao, long time no see!"

Luo Qingyun's voice came from behind.

Cao Ze breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and bowed, "Brother Luo, long time no see!"

At this time, the stall owner had already packed the shrimp dumplings and rice rolls and handed them over.

Cao Ze took it and handed one to Luo Qingyun, "Brother Luo, you must try it. The rice noodle rolls and shrimp dumplings are delicious. Don't miss it!"

"I didn't expect Brother Cao also likes to eat these things."

Luo Qingyun did not refuse. He took the box of rice rolls, held the box in one hand, took the wooden chopsticks in the other hand, picked up a piece of rice roll and put it into his mouth.

Who could have thought that the proud genius of Donghai County would be standing on the street eating rice rolls.

"The world is not worth living, only delicious food is not to be missed!"

Cao Ze also took a bite of the rice roll with a smile. Having been eating dry food for half a year, he felt that this was the most delicious food in the world. He felt refreshed all over.

This is the charm of delicious food.

Luo Qingyun was startled when he heard this, then he laughed, "Brother Cao is a man of character, I'm sure you and my sister will have a lot in common."

"I didn't expect to meet Brother Luo here. It's really fate."

The two of them carried the rice rolls and ate as they walked. The way they wolfed down the food made the rice roll owner grin from ear to ear, and his business improved a lot.

After finishing the last piece of rice noodle roll, Luo Qingyun elegantly threw the box into a vendor's trash can, took out a piece of paper from his storage treasure and wiped his mouth, then smiled at Cao Ze and said, "What do you mean by fate? I came here specifically to find you."

"Find me?"

Cao Ze was stunned.

"follow me."

Luo Qingyun didn't say much and took Cao Ze through the inner city. Soon, they came to a busy restaurant.

This is not a famous restaurant in Cape City. It has many customers, but it seems like a new place that has just opened.

After the three people arrived, without Luo Qingyun's instructions, the waiter took them to the third floor and came to a private room.

Luo Qingyun did not say anything, but looked at Su Xiaozhi beside him.

Su Xiaozhi tactfully left the box.

Naturally, there was no secret between Cao Ze and her, but it was understandable that Luo Qingyun had a secret and didn't want her to know.

"You killed Yuwen Qilong, didn't you?"

As soon as Su Xiaozhi closed the door, Luo Qingyun went straight to the point.

"Brother Luo, are you kidding?"

Cao Ze's face did not change color, and he did not even blush when telling a lie. "I just broke through to the Refining Organ Realm a few days ago. How can I kill a Half-Step Grandmaster?"

"Don't worry, it's absolutely safe here. No one will know about our conversation."

Luo Qingyun didn't care. What Cao Ze said was not important, and he didn't come to Cao Ze to confirm the matter.

"Yuwen Qilong's parents are already on their way to Cape City!"

"Those two lunatics are also well-known for their brutality in Donghai County."

"If they come, not only you, but the entire Haijiao City will probably be buried with Yuwen Qilong." Luo Qingyun looked at Cao Ze and announced a shocking news.

"You beat the younger one to get the older one?"

Cao Ze's heart tightened; the thing he was most worried about had happened.

"What is the cultivation level of Yuwen Qilong's parents?"

"Grandmaster!"

Cao Ze took a breath and asked, "When will they arrive at Cape City?"

"They were supposed to arrive a month ago, but they encountered some accidents on the way. Those two crazy guys caused havoc along the way and provoked some powerful people. They can't get away for the time being. You may have another half a year."

"Only half a year?"

Taking a deep breath, Cao Ze looked at Luo Qingyun again, "I wonder if Brother Luo has any way to save me?"

Of course, he was not asking this question for himself. There was still half a year left. He would take Su Xiaozhi and Uncle Wu to the East China Sea. Even a grandmaster would not be able to find any trace of them.

This is the confidence of the Son of the Sea!
But the four major families couldn't leave.

I can’t leave Cape City.

The four great families had done him a lot of favors, and he didn't want the four great families to be exterminated because of him, nor did he want countless innocent ordinary people in Cape City to die because of him.

"Join the Luo family!"

Luo Qingyun did not hesitate, as this was the purpose of his visit to Cao Ze.

"Of course, it's not just a simple joining, but requires signing a Heavenly Dao Contract."

After reading the secret book in the gloomy young man’s storage space, Cao Ze also understood what the Heavenly Dao Contract was.

This is a method used by Qigong practitioners to mobilize the power of heaven and earth through talismans and language. After the contract is signed, if one party violates the contract, they will be spurned by heaven.

In short, it is no longer possible to mobilize the overall situation of heaven and earth.

This kind of contract does not have much binding force on ordinary people, at most it just means they have bad luck.

But for a warrior, especially a talented warrior like Cao Ze, if he is unable to mobilize the power of heaven and earth, he can only be a brute with strong physical strength in this life, which is probably more painful than killing him.

"Brother Cao, you can rest assured. In addition to being loyal to the Luo family and not doing anything that harms the Luo family, there are not too many mandatory requirements in the contract, and Brother Cao will not be asked to do anything that goes against his own heart."

Luo Qingyun added, "Brother Cao, please don't misunderstand. I am not using this matter to threaten you. It's just that although I am the Luo family's genius and have a high status in the Luo family, it is not enough to take on this matter. I need help from my family."

"Those old guys at home won't give up until they see the rabbit. If I don't do this, I'm afraid they won't agree."

"It's easy to deal with Yuwen Qilong's two crazy parents. They are just a grandmaster. My Luo family doesn't take them seriously. But the Yuwen family is not so easy to deal with. Even if my Luo family takes action, it will cost a lot."

"Brother Cao, please be aware of this."

"I agree!"

Cao Ze did not hesitate at all, he could feel Luo Qingyun's sincerity.

"Okay, leave the rest to me!"

Luo Qingyun smiled, he could also feel Cao Ze's trust.

"It's so clear!"

"Little Er, drink up!"

……

"Luo Qingyun?"

In the alley, Meng Qifan received a report from his subordinates and frowned.

It’s been a roller coaster ride. Will this kid ever come back home?
What is the charm of this boy?
It would be fine if Yue Lingke valued him, but now he has also caught Luo Qingyun's eye?
If I kill him, will Luo Qingyun retaliate against me?

He could ignore the four major families in Haijiao City, but he couldn't ignore Luo Qingyun.

But the arrow is on the string and must be fired!

Meng Qifan made a decision quickly. He was just a kid in the Refining Organ Realm. Could Luo Qingyun really hunt him down all over the world for him?

While he was thinking, Meng Qifan finally saw Cao Ze coming from the inner city. A cruel smile appeared on his face. He pushed the cart and walked slowly towards Cao Ze's direction.

"Tanghulu, sweet and fragrant Tanghulu... only three cents a string."

……

Cao Ze walked towards home with Su Xiaozhi with a heavy heart.

Despite Luo Qingyun's assurance, the threat from the Yuwen family was still like a sword hanging over his head, making him feel suffocated.

If the Earth Soul Crystal had not been found yet, he would have wanted to return to the Five Absolutes right now and continue his practice in seclusion.

He knew that it would be difficult for him to reach the Grandmaster level within half a year, and every extra bit of strength he gained would give him more confidence.

Su Xiaozhi held Cao Ze's hand tightly. She did not go into the box with Cao Ze and did not hear the conversation between Cao Ze and Luo Qingyun.

But she could feel Cao Ze's heavy mood, and she held Cao Ze's hand a little tighter, as if to say, no matter what happens, I will be with you!
"Brother Ze, we have candied haws. Let's buy a bunch of them!"

Su Xiaozhi's eyes lit up when she saw the candied haws vendor who was slowly shouting towards them.

Eating sweets can really make people happy. If you feel that life is too bitter, eating some sweets is also a good choice.

Cao Ze woke up from his thoughts, followed Su Xiaozhi's gaze to look at the candied haws vendor, and then suddenly stopped.

The moment he looked at the vendor, his hair stood on end and he was overwhelmed by a terrifying sense of danger.

With the sea-viewing view opened, Cao Ze instantly discovered the clue.

Around the old-looking candied haws vendor, the world was in perfect order, like soldiers lined up in battle array, arranged in some mysterious way, capable of both offense and defense.

This terrifying power clearly belongs to a master!
How could a great master be selling candied haws here?

Game world?

Cao Ze quickly dismissed this idea. Judging from the attitude of this powerful master, it didn't seem like he was playing around.

Therefore, he must have some plan.

Judging from the situation of heaven and earth around this master, Cao Ze quickly determined that he was not the master of the four great schools.

Among the four major families in Cape City, the master of the Yue family practices the Hundred Mountains Divine Fist. The power of heaven and earth around him is like a mountain. Having fought with Yue Lingke many times, he is very familiar with him.

The Bai family's unique martial art, the Heaven-Flipping Seal, is swift and fierce, and can overwhelm the opponent with force. Cao Ze has seen Bai Botao use it before, and he also understands it very well.

The Lu family's inherited skill is the Fu Bo Sword Technique. Although Cao Ze doesn't know much about it, he knows that the people of the Lu family seem to be surrounded by waves and they follow the same fierce and domineering approach.

The Ye family's Green Dragon Spear Technique is full of fierce aura, and has a kind of unruly spirit that defies heaven and earth. You don't even need to check the momentum around him, just one look at him and you will know whether he is a member of the Ye family.

But although there was the sound of the tide around the person in front of him, it gave people a feminine feeling, like a poisonous snake hidden in the sea.

Cao Ze didn't like this feeling, and he was also sure that this was not the master of the four great schools.

Of course, he didn't think that such a person would go to such great lengths to disguise himself as a small figure just for a small figure like him. After all, the strength he showed was only at the Refining Organ Realm. Although he had good talent, he was not worthy of the Grandmaster's effort.

It was just that he happened to be there at the right time and saw through the other party's disguise.

Since he had seen it, it was impossible for him to pretend that nothing had happened. No matter what the other party's purpose was, he could just leave it to Yue Lingke. It was not his turn to have a headache.

Without hesitation, Cao Ze, who had just walked out of the inner city, turned around and headed straight for the Yue family again.
