Chapter 1662: Directed towards her
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Sima You Yue saw the way he was acting and knew that the issue wasn’t small so she didn’t delay and got Bei Gong Tang to go over to call Mao San Quan, Fan Lei and the others. She also called Ximen Feng and Liang Wu Ming along the way before returning to the guest courtyards that they were staying in.
On the way there, they didn’t talk about the undead at all in fear that others would hear and end up causing public panic. Hence, they talked about other things.
When they returned to the courtyard, Sima You Yue casually set up a barrier as Mao San Quan asked, “What happened?”
“Director Mao, a city has been slaughtered.” Wang Si Miao said, we have also received news that the next city is right next door.”
“A city massacre? They actually massacred another city!” Sima You Yue frowned, “It seems like they are in desperate need of blood.”
“Are you certain that the next city is right next door?” Liang Wu Ming asked.
“I can’t be certain. It’s just that as those people left, they mentioned that Paramount Valley was quite lively and wondered if they should go and join in the fun. They even said that You Yue had returned and so on. Based on their latest movements, it’s possible that they have an eye on this place.” Wang Si Miao speculated.
“You Yue, do you have any feud with them?” Ge Lang asked.
“Something like that. The Yang Clan and I have some past grievances.” Sima You Yue told them about what happened between her and Yang Xi, along with how she had killed them and tossed them into the desert. She also told them about her participation in the Great Spirit Stone Gathering and how the Yang Clan had obtained so many corpses.
“It seems then that the Yang Clan still doesn’t know that you know about the undead. If it’s like you say, then they should be acting this way to help Yang Si take revenge.” Mao San Quan said.
“Although they have no evidence, I really did kill her. For a power as big as theirs, even without evidence, they will definitely be able to push the blame onto me. The wedding this time was such a grand event, so it was a matter of course that it would draw their attention.” Sima You Yue was not surprised that the Yang Clan would do this. In any case as long as she was still alive, they would not give up on her.
It was just that she had no idea what they would do.
“Those huge clans really enjoy doing these types of things.” Xu Jin sneered. He really looked down on them.
“Si Miao, continue keeping an eye on the Yang and Northern Du Clan. If you receive any news, send it to You Yue immediately.” Mao San Quan said.
“Alright.”
“Feng’er, we have to act as well. Since they dare to encroach on our territory, we have to make sure they can’t walk away so easily!” Liang Wu Ming said to Ximen Feng.
“I have the same idea.” Ximen Feng’s expression was ugly. They dared to plot against his sister? They were simply asking for death!
“It’s not as easy as you think.” Sima You Yue put out their ideas at this time.
“Why?”
“Earlier when I was in the ancient mines, I was puzzled. The first time I met the Yang Clansmen, I didn’t sense any undead aura, so why did it appear later on? Later on, after what happened with Northern Du Hao, I finally understood that they kept the undead in their interspatial rings.” Sima You Yue said, “The interspatial ring isolates the death aura, so even if you’re by that person’s side, you won’t know that they hold the undead.”
The undead had no life in them and had no need to breathe, so they could be placed in the interspatial ring. At that time, when she had found out about this, she even experimented on a few undead. In the end, her guess was completely accurate.
“If that’s the case, it will be really difficult to find any trails.”
“If you want to find them, you will always be able to find the tiniest traces.” Ximen Feng said, “We just have to send more people.”
“That would be too much wastage of our manpower.” Sima You Yue disagreed, “I have another idea.”
“What’s your idea?”
“Aren’t they coming to us? We’ll just let them find us then.” Sima You Yue said.
“You want to use yourself as bait?”
“Yes.”
“No way!” The entire house was filled with disagreement. Ximen Feng, Xu Jin and the others didn’t agree either.
“It’s too dangerous for you to appear.” Mao San Quan didn’t agree.
“You guys can relax. I have my assurances.” Sima You Yue said, “No matter how many undead they send, they can’t do anything to me. They can’t even get close to me.”
“That still won’t do.” Ximen Feng still didn’t agree.
“Feng’er, I have ghost aura in my body along with Crimson Flame’s fire and the lightning calamity. These are all the antithesis of those undead. That is why I have the ability to harm them and preserve myself. I didn’t say that I wouldn’t bring anyone with me either, did I?” SIma You Yue nagged, “If they have already come to our doorstep and we don’t hurry up to get rid of them, there will be many more helpless people who will be implicated. I’m sure you don’t want something like a City Massacre to happen again.”
“But…”
“I’ll just bring more people with me when the time comes.” Sima You Yue said.
Ximen Feng knew that she had already made her decision when she said this, so he could only remain silent.
“What do you plan to do?”
“Very simple…”
A few days later, Sima You Yue left Heartbreak Valley and went to stay as a guest over at the Qin Clan. sShe was good friends with Qin Mo, so everyone welcomed her.
However, Qin Mo did not return to the Qin Clan. he was still around Heartbreak Valley settling some things. When he heard that she had come to find him, he was a little surprised and hurried over to receive her.
“Qin Mo, I have come to ask you for help.” These were the first words Sima You Yue said to him the moment she saw him, giving him a scare.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing much, I just want to invite you to accompany me to play and walk around.” Sima You Yue said with a smile.
“Alright.”
For the next few days, Qin Mo let go of the things he was handling and accompanied Sima You Yue around the city. They bought some things, ate some good food and were extremely leisurely. After playing around, they bid their farewells and she, with her servant girl An Lei, slowly returned to Heartbreak Valley.
“An Lei, are you afraid?” Sima You Yue asked.
An Lei shook her head, “My life was given to me by Young Miss. I am afraid of nothing as I follow you.”
“Didn’t you say that you had things to do? Once this situation is settled, you can go and do your things.” Sima You Yue said.
“Young Miss, the things I want to do cannot be done right now. I want to get my mother’s ashes from the Eastern Lai Clan’s cemetery. However, I’m afraid that I cannot return at this moment.” An Lei said.
“Because I killed Eastern Lai Li?” Sima You Yue was taken aback before she said apologetically, “I dragged you down.”
“Young MIss, what are you saying? To be able to follow Young Miss is the best decision I have ever made in my lifetime. If Mother knew, she would definitely be happy for me. As to where she is, she should not mind too much.” An Lei comforted her instead.
“Once there’s a chance, we will retrieve your mother’s remains. We have already gone to the Xuan Qiu Clan, why not to the Eastern Lai Clan as well?” Sima You Yue promised.
“Young Miss…” An Lei’s eyes were rather red.
“We’re going to run into some trouble, you better not cry now.” Sima You Yue laughed.
She had just spoken when a few silhouettes appeared from the mountain before her. Their malicious eyes glared at her and they waited as she slowly walked closer to them.
