Chapter 1032: Chapter 132 Nascent Soul Stage_5

“Having no choice, I could only run for the seed identity…”

“Unfortunately, after advancing to the Golden Core Stage, I was assigned a forced mission and have been fleeing ever since…”

After listening, Yin Zhengyi seemed bewildered, “The Zhou family is indeed one of the three families of Shu Mountain Sect, but do they really persecute their own kin like this?”

What’s most important is that he had never heard of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator from Shu Mountain having such a defection experience.

“Alas, with the Zhou family in its prime, I dare not offend them and could only hide in Jin Kingdom, but now, my identity has been exposed…” Zhao Yu hesitated, then added, “I might have to run again!”

“This…”

Yin Zhengyi gave a slight smile and said, “If what you say is true, the ones pursuing you are acting on their own, which doesn’t involve Shu Mountain. You cannot really be considered a defector…”

“Given this, Shu Mountain wouldn’t extensively pursue you, let alone send a known Nascent Soul Stage cultivator to assassinate you…”

“After all, this is my Jin Kingdom’s territory…”

“This…” Zhao Yu hesitated, seeming to think of how to brush this off.

Yet, Yin Zhengyi smiled and said, “My friend, you might not be aware of the inside story…”

“Although Jin Kingdom is currently weak, we have had immortals ascend to heaven…”

“Non-aggression was the rule made by both sides’ immortals, so you really need not worry like this…”

After hearing this, Zhao Yu’s eyes brightened, and he quickly asked for more details.

Unfortunately, Yin Zhengyi didn’t know much about the immortals either, only knowing that immortals resided in the heavens, and not only Shu Mountain and Jin Kingdom, but surrounding powerful forces had also had those who cultivated to the Immortal Realm.

The good news, according to the immortals’ rules, is that forces are allowed to send Nascent Soul Stage cultivators on missions, but they do not allow Divinity Transformation Stage or higher cultivators to enter at will unless permitted.

“If you were truly unforgivable, then it is likely that a Divinity Transformation Stage powerhouse from Shu Mountain Sect applying to enter Jin Kingdom would be approved. But according to what you described, you were merely framed by a villain…”

With confidence, Yin Zhengyi said, “Therefore, a Divinity Transformation Stage powerhouse is unlikely to casually come to Jin Kingdom to seek you out. As for the Nascent Soul Stage, my friend, you can rest assured, I, as the City Lord of Luo Feng City, hold an official position within this city, making me unmatched within my realm!”

These words, though intended to reassure Zhao Yu, also implied to not act rashly, or he could indeed take action.

After hearing this, Zhao Yu also relaxed a bit.

Unlike Shu Mountain, every city in Jin Kingdom is guarded by strong array formations, with the activation keys in the hands of the city lords.

For a place like Luo Feng City, there are said to be fifth-tier array formations, truly making it an invincible haven below the Divinity Transformation Stage.

“However, considering the circumstances aren’t severe, why don’t I negotiate with Shu Mountain on your behalf?” Yin Zhengyi had only heard Zhao Yu’s side of the story, not yet fully believing it, thus wanting to leave to investigate further first.

After hearing this, Zhao Yu nodded slightly, “If negotiation is possible, that would indeed be best. I do not wish to become a wanted criminal by Shu Mountain…”

With that, Yin Zhengyi left with the Fu sisters.

“Senior brother, was what he said true?” Fu Qingyi curiously asked.

“I don’t know!”

Yin Zhengyi shook his head and said, “For specifics, I still need to ask around. Fortunately, I know a few fellow sect members from Shu Mountain, with whom I can inquire further…”

Upon returning to the city lord’s mansion, Yin Zhengyi used the Sound Transmission Talisman to start inquiring about the authenticity of Zhao Yu’s claims.

But as the Sound Transmission Talisman blinked and pulsed, his expression grew increasingly serious.

“Senior brother, is there a problem?!” The Fu sisters became anxious, fearing that Zhao Yu was indeed a greatly wicked person, which would make their moral choices more difficult.

After all, Zhao Yu had recently saved them and everyone else, sparing them from moral condemnation, and they still held favorable impressions of him.

“There’s a problem!”

A complex expression appeared on Yin Zhengyi’s face.

“What’s the issue? Is he really being hunted by Shu Mountain?!”

“Wait a moment,” he said as one of his friends had already gone to retrieve Zhao Yu’s portrait from Shu Mountain. “Let’s confirm after seeing the portrait…”

Finishing his words, Yin Zhengyi became restless and started pacing.

The sisters, seeing this, were also somewhat bewildered.

“Sister, Senior Zhao Yu wouldn’t really be problematic, would he?”

“I don’t know…”

Fu Qingshu heaved a sigh, “But regardless, Senior Zhao Yu saved us, and we must remember this kindness…”

“Yeah…”

It was a while before Yin Zhengyi stopped pacing, and the sisters knew he must have received Zhao Yu’s portrait.

“It really is him…”

Seeing Yin Zhengyi muttering to himself, the sisters grew tense.

“Senior brother, can you confirm it’s the same person?”

“This…”

Yin Zhengyi remained silent for a long time before finally turning to the sisters and asking, “How old do you think that Zhao Yu appeared to be just now?!”

“Huh?”

The sisters were baffled by the unexpected question.

As the elder sister, Fu Qingshu took the lead, “That senior looked quite young, which suggests he had ample lifespan at each stage of his cultivation…”

“Qi Cultivation Stage is twenty years, Foundation Establishment is ten years, Golden Core is one hundred years, Nascent Soul is two hundred years, so the youngest he could be is three hundred thirty years…”

After finishing, she was slightly proud, feeling her estimation should be correct.

“Wipe out three!”

“Exactly as I thought!”

Fu Qingshu nodded, “According to my guess, he is three hundred thirty years old, but unexpectedly, that Senior Zhao Yu, truly gifted beyond others, had reached Nascent Soul Stage by just three hundred years…”
