Immortal Martial Arts: Marry a Wife and Live a Long Life

Chapter 43: Intelligence

Yun Miaoyi's intuition was as sharp as a hair, and she immediately knew that the news had been leaked by Jiang Baiye.

She came to track down the whereabouts of the Body Nurturing Furnace, and only Jiang Baiye had seen her. Jiang Baiye also had enough motivation to do so.

If Yun Miaoyi was being hunted down by the Tianxuan Mountain's real person, she wouldn't have the time to investigate the whereabouts of the Body Nurturing Furnace.

After escaping from Tianxuan Mountain's pursuit once again, Yun Miaoyi went directly to Jiang Baiye to inquire. Jiang Baiye didn't bother denying it, which made Yun Miaoyi furious but unable to do anything about it.

Being hunted for several months, she was in a sorry state. Jiang Baiye, on the other hand, was traveling everywhere like a female sword immortal, which made Yun Miaoyi extremely unhappy. So she decided to follow Jiang Baiye.

Since Jiang Baiye wanted to find the Body Nurturing Furnace, and since she was causing trouble for her, Yun Miaoyi had no choice but to follow Jiang Baiye.

If Jiang Baiye found the trace of the Body Nurturing Furnace, it would be as if she had found it too, saving her some effort.

This put Jiang Baiye in a difficult position. If she continued to leak Yun Miaoyi's whereabouts, the real person from Tianxuan Mountain would demand that she join forces to deal with Yun Miaoyi, and they would definitely use Yun Miaoyi's identity against her.

If she refused, Tianxuan Mountain might accuse her of colluding with the Yin Yang Dao witch, which would also have an impact on the Canghai Sect.

The Canghai Sect was already in a difficult situation without the Body Nurturing Furnace. If the Great Qian Dynasty took advantage of the situation, the sect would face further suppression.

After some internal struggle, Jiang Baiye reluctantly agreed. If they really found the Body Nurturing Furnace, they could take action at that time.

If Yun Miaoyi insisted on interfering in matters concerning the survival of the sect, Jiang Baiye would have no choice but to join forces with the real person from Tianxuan Mountain to kill Yun Miaoyi.

"So, was it the old ancestor who took action?"

After returning to the inn, Yun Miaoyi went to Jiang Baiye's room and casually sat on the bed, revealing her enchanting figure and seductive charm.

Several months had passed, and she hadn't made much progress herself. She was exhausted from evading pursuit, but she never thought of giving up and returning to the Yin Yang Dao.

Jiang Baiye ignored Yun Miaoyi's seductive figure and the large expanse of her fair skin. She didn't answer her question, but furrowed her brows.

Over four months ago, the clue about Lu Renbin was lost at the first battlefield.

In these months, she had investigated and verified in various ways, and she could confirm that Lu Renbin had not left Fengyang Prefecture, nor was there any trace of him in other prefectures.

She had found the identities of the seven scattered cultivators who died at the first battlefield. They had all participated in the gathering of scattered cultivators. She had also investigated almost everyone who had participated in the gathering, and confirmed that Lu Renbin had infiltrated, but his presence was very low, and no one had much of an impression of him.

As for where Lu Renbin went after the gathering of scattered cultivators, and whether he went to intercept Han Li, the scattered cultivators claimed not to know.

Jiang Baiye also found and questioned the two scattered cultivators who had attempted to intercept Han Li but ran away midway. They both said they hadn't seen Lu Renbin following them and didn't know if he went to intercept Han Li.

She had heard about the false information released by Han Li a long time ago, and had even personally found Li Deshun to verify it, asking about Han Li's strength and whether he had seen Lu Renbin or if Lu Renbin had secretly intercepted Han Li.

As one of the two survivors of that interception, Li Deshun naturally had the right to speak.

Thinking that Han Li had also asked him if he had seen anyone, Li Deshun had a faint guess in his heart. The Lu Renbin that Jiang Baiye was investigating might be related to Han Li.

Considering that Han Li hadn't killed him to silence him last time, and that he still wanted to obtain the Longevity Pill from Han Li, Li Deshun didn't mention the matter of Jiang Baiye questioning him. He only admitted that he and Han Li had worked together to kill those scattered cultivators.

As for Lu Renbin, he really hadn't seen him following them to intercept Han Li.

Jiang Baiye didn't make things difficult for Li Deshun and left the Li residence, but she had doubts in her heart.

The red-robed scattered cultivator was killed with a single palm strike, and the other six scattered cultivators were shot down with archery. From her observation, Li Deshun was skilled in using spears.

Went to Tianji Tower once, Jiang Baiye purchased the intelligence on Han Li and Li Deshun.

According to the intelligence, Li Deshun's cultivation is at the seventh level of the Sea Opening Realm, and his expertise is in spear techniques. The latest intelligence states that Li Deshun and Han Li joined forces to kill seven scattered cultivators at the Sea Opening Realm.

As for the intelligence on Han Li, it's quite interesting.

This person is not a scattered cultivator, but an inner disciple of Tianxuan Mountain. Several decades ago, due to damaged aptitude, he was unable to advance to the Sea Opening Realm and returned to Lingjun City, branching out and spreading his influence.

At the age of 195, he broke through to the fifth level of the Sea Opening Realm, suspected to have obtained some fortuitous encounter, his aptitude recovered and even improved. In less than twenty years, he cultivated to the fifth level of the Sea Opening Realm.

Han Li usually stays in Lingjun City, not engaging in fights or venturing for resources. He has a particular fondness for women and enjoys taking concubines. Before reaching the Sea Opening Realm, he took in six concubines, and after breaking through, he crazily took in concubines, having taken in around twenty in the past twenty years.

In the past twenty years, Han Li has left Lingjun City twice. Once, he left Fengyang Prefecture and returned to Tianxuan Mountain, and the other time was to participate in a gathering of scattered cultivators.

Han Li is skilled in knife techniques and footwork, but this information was recorded eighty years ago when Han Li had not left Tianxuan Mountain. After leaving the mountain, Han Li has hardly made any moves.

This is what troubles Jiang Baiye.

Neither Han Li nor Li Deshun are skilled in palm techniques or archery, yet those scattered cultivators were killed by palm techniques and archery. There must be something wrong with these two.

She has seen Li Deshun, and indeed, his cultivation is only at the seventh level of the Sea Opening Realm, and he is skilled in spear techniques. The one with the problem is likely Han Li.

In the past seventy years, Han Li should have re-cultivated some powerful palm techniques or archery martial arts, possibly related to his fortuitous encounter. The probability of Lu Renbin intercepting and killing him is not small.

Before participating in the gathering of scattered cultivators, Han Li did not reveal his cultivation at the fifth level of the Sea Opening Realm. Lu Renbin is likely unaware, and even if he knows, with his cultivation at the ninth level of the Sea Opening Realm, killing Han Li would be easy.

Various signs indicate that Han Li may be the murderer of Lu Renbin, and it is highly likely that he has obtained the Lifesaving Furnace.

But how can Han Li, who is only at the fifth level of the Sea Opening Realm, kill Lu Renbin at the ninth level of the Sea Opening Realm? Additionally, among the seven scattered cultivators, although their strength is not high, one of them is at the later stage of the Sea Opening Realm.

This is unreasonable.

Unless Han Li is hiding his cultivation, and his true cultivation is at the Vital Spirit Realm, only then can he achieve these things.

But is it possible for someone with an eighth-grade aptitude to advance from the Sea Opening Realm to the Vital Spirit Realm in just seventeen years? This is even more unreasonable.

Could it be that Lu Renbin's disappearance has nothing to do with Han Li?

Did Lu Renbin go into hiding? Or was he taken by another force?

Looking at the white-haired female sword immortal standing there with a furrowed brow, the enchanting witch Yun Miao Yi stretched her waist, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin, and then leisurely said:

"What's the dilemma? Just capture that Han Li and interrogate him."

Yun Miao Yi also knows the intelligence on Han Li and has come to a conclusion similar to Jiang Baiye's, but she is not a righteous person, but a witch.

Jiang Baiye is concerned about Tianxuan Mountain behind Han Li and the Great Qian Dynasty. She doesn't want to provoke enemies for the Canghai Sect without reason, but Yun Miao Yi doesn't care about all that.

Tianxuan Mountain has been chasing her for the past few months, so it's a good opportunity to take revenge on this disciple of Tianxuan Mountain, regardless of whether he is the murderer or if he is hiding his cultivation.

All of that is not important. In front of two Soul Refining stage cultivators, what kind of storm can the insignificant Han Li stir up?

"Hoo~"

Jiang Baiye let out a breath, having already made a decision.
