Chapter 154 Reunion

Chapter 154: Another Gathering

Without leaving his home, his reputation spread throughout the Jianfang Market.

This was precisely the effect Zhang Yuhe wanted.

With the reputation of an Artifact Refiner Great Master, he would not only be more respected.

The key was that this way,

No one would ever connect him to the deaths of Ouyang Lishan and others again.

Who would have thought that the kind and amiable Great Master Zhang was the ruthless character who annihilated more than a dozen True Immortal Cultivators of the Ouyang Family with a single move?

No one would have thought of it.

Coupled with the misleading information Xie Mingyuan had spread earlier, even fewer people would link him to the deaths of Ouyang Lishan and the others.

…

Time slowly passed.

Zhang Yuhe took on Artifact Refining commissions while quietly Cultivating in his Immortal Cave.

One day, his expression suddenly shifted, and the immortal transmission mirror appeared in his hand.

After casting a spell,

Liu Haitao's projection emerged in the immortal transmission mirror.

"Tomorrow, my residence will host a small trade fair. Dao Friend Zhang, are you interested in attending?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yuhe's brows furrowed slightly.

Why would Liu Haitao seek him out?

Although he now had a slight reputation in the Jianfang Market,

He had no real relationship with Liu Haitao, at most, they had met once.

As for Xie Mingyuan's previous request for Liu Haitao to look after him in the market,

That was merely polite talk.

He would be a fool to take it seriously.

However, since he was invited, he might as well go and see.

After all, he wasn't Xie Mingyuan.

Xie Mingyuan was caught in a vortex, with so many people watching him, he couldn't move at all.

Even though more than a hundred years had passed,

The Ouyang Family still hadn't given up, and they continued to arrange people to watch outside his Immortal Cave every day.

They wanted to use Xie Mingyuan to uncover the Golden Immortal Ancestors behind him.

This made it very inconvenient for Zhang Yuhe to even visit Xie Mingyuan.

They could only communicate through the immortal transmission mirror.

However, it was fine for Zhang Yuhe to go out by himself.

The Ouyang Family's people weren't watching him.

At least, not openly.

As long as he didn't leave the Jianfang Market, he was definitely safe.

Most importantly,

A hundred years had passed, and the Primordial Unity Divine Power had long since cooled down. Even if the Ouyang Family truly tore off their facade,

He wasn't afraid in the slightest.

He might not be able to defeat a Golden Immortal Cultivator for now.

But after activating the Primordial Unity Divine Power, he should be able to escape.

…

The next day.

Zhang Yuhe arrived outside a magnificent mansion.

Seeing his arrival, Liu Haitao quickly came out to greet him, saying politely,

"I am deeply honored that Xie *Xiong* would grace my humble abode. Last time, I was short-sighted."

"I never expected Xie *Xiong* to possess such profound attainments in the Dao of Artifact Refining."

Zhang Yuhe humbly replied,

"Senior Brother Liu, you're too kind. It's just a small trick, nothing worth mentioning."

After a round of pleasantries, the two quickly arrived at a small pavilion by a lake.

At this time, many True Immortal Cultivators had already gathered in the pavilion, and He Xingfa was among them.

Seeing Zhang Yuhe arrive, He Xingfa immediately stood up and politely called out,

"Dao Friend Zhang, you're here too! Come, sit here."

The others also stood up, all of them extremely courteous towards him.

"It's Great Master Zhang of the Dao Saint Sect, please, have a seat quickly."

"With Great Master Zhang attending this gathering, I believe everyone will gain something."

"That's for sure. Great Master Zhang must have many good items on hand, I just fear we won't be able to afford them, hehe."

"Haha, for this trade fair, this junior has specially prepared. I will definitely be able to exchange for a suitable Immortal Artifact."

…

With Zhang Yuhe's arrival, the atmosphere became extremely lively.

Who wouldn't want to befriend a highly skilled Artifact Refiner?

Even if they didn't have a need for one at the moment, it was hard to guarantee they wouldn't seek Zhang Yuhe's help in the future.

Therefore, everyone was extremely polite to him.

This made Zhang Yuhe, who always preferred to keep a low profile, feel very unaccustomed.

Once most of the attending Cultivators had arrived, everyone began to discuss animatedly.

More than two thousand years had passed since the last gathering, but the Chaos Continent had not shown any abnormalities.

The imagined Chaos Beast tide had not yet appeared.

As for the terrifying Immortal Calamity, there was not even a hint of movement.

Therefore, everyone's discussion naturally shifted to the deaths of Ouyang Lishan and the others.

After all, this incident had only occurred a little over a hundred years ago, and it happened near the Jianfang Market.

Everyone couldn't help but pay attention.

"It's a pity about Ouyang Lishan. I never expected that even a True Immortal of Great Perfection like him would perish."

"Indeed. Originally, the Ouyang Family and the Dao Saint Sect had a very tense relationship, but after this incident, they seem to have become even more cautious."

"Hmph, if you ask me, the Ouyang Family deserved it."

"Back then, when Senior Lu was around, they were as well-behaved as dogs. Now that they see Senior Lu hasn't appeared for hundreds of thousands of years, they've become arrogant."

"Yes, I don't know what Ouyang Tianchen is thinking. What if Senior Lu appears, how will they handle it?"

"Has Senior Lu truly fallen?"

"Who can say for sure?"

"Do you think it was Old Ancestor Lu Yunfei who killed Ouyang Lishan and the others?"

"That's impossible, isn't it?"

"It's hard to say."

"You're right. It's just a pity Xie *Xiong* isn't here this time. Otherwise, we could ask Xie *Xiong* and find out."

"Haha, Xie *Xiong*'s days haven't been easy recently. With Ouyang Tianyue, that Golden Immortal Ancestors of the Ouyang Family, watching his door every day, he doesn't even dare to leave."

"The Ouyang Family's people are truly going too far."

"They tried to intercept Xie *Xiong*, but were counter-killed, and yet they still refuse to let go of Xie *Xiong*."

"Alas, what can be done? Who told the Dao Saint Sect to be weak now?"

"I hope the Jian Sea Area doesn't descend into Chaos."

"Let's hope so."

…

Most of the people present were Disciples of the Nine Immortals Sect and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.

Additionally, a few others were Loose Immortal Cultivators active in the market.

Therefore, when discussing the deaths of Ouyang Lishan and the others, they had no reservations.

They even chatted while secretly observing Zhang Yuhe's expression.

After all, Zhang Yuhe was also a Disciple of the Dao Saint Sect, considered half an insider.

In their opinion, Zhang Yuhe should be aware of this matter.

However, Zhang Yuhe behaved like an outsider.

Listening to everyone's discussion, he merely smiled and nodded, without speaking.

He even felt a little emotional.

These people's imaginations were truly extraordinary.

To even think of Old Ancestor Lu Yunfei.

That's thinking too far, isn't it?

If Old Ancestor Lu Yunfei truly returned,

Why would he target small fries like Ouyang Lishan?

He would probably have already attacked the Ouyang Family's stronghold and gone straight to Tianchen Island.

Eight hundred thousand years ago, Senior Lu was already at Golden Immortal Great Perfection.

After so many years, even if he hadn't made a Breakthrough,

He could easily suppress the Ouyang Family.

Why would he need to hide and scheme in such a sneaky manner?

Just charge in directly, wouldn't that be the end of it?
