Eternal Life by Dual Cultivation

Chapter 491: Chapter 273: Coercion

Yu Qingyang paused, then slowly turned around to face the beautiful, purple-clad woman walking toward him with an innocent look on his face.

"Fairy, we’ve never met. I don’t believe I..."

The expression on Yu Qingyang’s face was one of utmost respect, even bordering on sycophancy. After all, Chen Chuyu’s Cultivation was higher than his.

Chen Chuyu stopped in front of him. Her cold, sharp gaze swept over Yu Qingyang for a moment before she said icily,

"Young Master Yu, stop playing dumb with me. You know who I am, and I know who you are!"

Yu Qingyang’s expression stiffened, and a bitter smile touched his lips. "In that case, may I ask what business you have with me, Fairy?

Let me be clear, I’m just a lowly Golden Core Cultivator. My Cultivation is garbage, my abilities are limited, and I’m afraid I’m in no position to be of service to you, Fairy..."

"Cut the act!"

Chen Chuyu snorted. "I’m asking you, where did that clanswoman of yours go?"

"Huh? A clanswoman?"

Yu Qingyang blinked, his eyes darting about. "Within the Yu Family, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of women I’d call my clanswomen! I’m not sure which one you’re referring to, Fairy..."

"Yu Yalan, Yu Youqin, and Yu Ruoshuang!"

Chen Chuyu didn’t give him a chance to beat around the bush and went straight to the point. "Tell me where those three are, and this Top Grade Magical Treasure is yours!"

She took out a dark, heavy, and chilling Crescent Battle Saber. Faint, snowflake-like star patterns swirled and shifted slowly along the blade, releasing a suffocating wave of killing intent.

"I don’t know!"

Yu Qingyang shrugged, his expression a mask of innocence. "I haven’t seen them in years. I heard they went into seclusion, but there were also rumors they left to travel. In any case, I don’t know anything about it!"

He truly didn’t know that Yu Yalan, Yu Youqin, and Yu Ruoshuang had secretly left to find Ling Changqing. While the family’s upper echelons had found out after the fact, they had no way to contact them.

Besides, even if he did know, he would never have revealed a single detail to an outsider.

"It seems you don’t plan on leaving here alive today."

Chen Chuyu sneered. "You have two choices: tell me their whereabouts, or I’ll use this saber to cut off your head!"

"..."

Yu Qingyang’s expression faltered for a moment, his gaze finally turning solemn as he stared intently at the beautiful woman.

"Such immense killing intent, Chen Fairy. The Yu Family and the Shenluo Celestial Palace have never had any grievances. Why must you press the matter so relentlessly?"

Chen Chuyu said coldly, "The Child of Destiny, Ling Changqing, is a great opportunity that the Shenluo Celestial Palace has its sights on. He rightfully belongs to us."

"Heh, you truly are domineering, Chen Fairy. Unfortunately, I’m afraid I cannot comply!"

As Yu Qingyang spoke, his aura exploded outward. In an instant, he broke through the Golden Core Peak and stepped into the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm, and his power showed no signs of stopping there.

"Hmm?"

Chen Chuyu was slightly surprised but otherwise unconcerned. With a mere thought, a dazzling, piercing Sword Aura flashed into existence, arriving before Yu Qingyang in an instant.

A blur of an axe flashed. The small silver axe from Yu Qingyang’s waist was now in his hand, having easily blocked Chen Chuyu’s lethal attack.

"Very well. Since you insist on making things difficult, Chen Fairy, allow me to experience the methods of the Shenluo Celestial Palace’s First Saintess for myself!"

As he spoke, a suit of antique-looking Light Silver Armor materialized around him. The Weapon in his hands had also transformed into a pair of washbasin-sized Double-bladed Round Axes that gleamed with a bloody light.

"Not bad. You’ve got some skill."

Chen Chuyu nodded slightly as a long, slender Longsword, its blade as clear as spring water, appeared in her hand.

The next moment, the area ten zhang around her was enveloped in hazy sword shadows, transforming into a kingdom of death filled with bone-chilling sword intent and a grim, murderous aura.

The terrifying Sword Qi struck the surrounding shops, causing their Array Restrictions to shatter. Amidst a great CRASH, they collapsed into piles of brick and rubble.

The group of beautiful women behind her spread out with practiced coordination, driving away all bystanders. Their cold gazes locked onto Yu Qingyang from afar as they began to subtly prepare various powerful Divine Techniques.

Although they hadn’t yet attacked, Yu Qingyang clearly didn’t dare to leave himself undefended. He had to split his Mind, making it impossible to face Chen Chuyu’s assault with his full strength.

"You... You people have no honor!"

Yu Qingyang said angrily. A simple, heavy, dark cyan bone shield rose above his head, emitting an aura of desolate, primal Dao Rhyme as it blocked Chen Chuyu’s storm of Sword Qi.

He’d heard before that the Female Cultivators of the Shenluo Celestial Palace had no tradition of dueling one-on-one. They always ganged up on their enemies, throwing everything they had at them at once.

He just never thought he’d be the one to experience it firsthand.

Chen Chuyu smiled sweetly. "We’re women; we don’t need to bother with all those rules about saving face. If you can’t handle it, you’ll only have yourself to blame when you die!"

"Fine, then! I’m done playing with you!"

Yu Qingyang snorted. It was unclear what technique he used, but his armored figure vanished without a trace in a sudden burst of crystalline light.

"He’s fast, I’ll give him that," Chen Chuyu said resentfully. "That guy is supposed to be the most outstanding prodigy of the Yu Family’s new generation. He really does have a few tricks up his sleeve."

"Eldest Sister, what should we do now?"

The group of Female Cultivators gathered around, and one of them, a sweet and pretty young woman, asked the question.

Chen Chuyu frowned in thought, then said with some difficulty, "Who knows where that bastard ran off to. We can’t exactly go to the Yu Family estate to demand they hand people over, and Lu Hua Palace still refuses to budge. How about we..."

Powerful as the Shenluo Celestial Palace was, the Yu Family was no pushover. It was one thing to bully a few lone Yu disciples out in the open, but causing trouble at their main family headquarters was out of the question.
