Chapter 315 Report on Return
Tao Yu proved with facts that even the demoness of the Demon Sect who practiced special techniques were insignificant in front of him.
Since they brought it upon themselves, Tao Yu used both the "Riding" and "Taming" skills on them, and at the same time, he mastered and underwent Deification for several secret manuals that are difficult to write about.
The specific situation is hard to describe, but in the end, they were sobbing and passed out.
When the "Taming" seed was implanted into the spirit, the feeling was that it had completely dissipated, with no resistance left.
This, however, provided Tao Yu with a brand new method, which was much more convenient than subduing them by force.
"The True Qi is too mixed, making the conversion efficiency very low."
Tao Yu felt the outcome after initially mastering the small Deification skill, and indeed, as they had said, it was supposed to enhance each other wonderfully.
But because their levels were too far below his Longevity Secret, there was some effect, but it seemed only about five or six percent better than his normal meditation, not as good as his doubled Acceleration meditation.
However, it was better than nothing, after all.
"The primary Yin can yield one good gain, but it seems there aren't many suitable targets."
Tao Yu was not some lustful demon indiscriminately going after everyone; he had no such thoughts.
But considering the two, Wanwan and Shi Feixuan, was possible, and there were opportunities, with almost no psychological burden either.
"The little rich girl is also learning Inner Strength now; in fact, I should find her a better technique. The Longevity Secret is too esoteric to start with while the Sword Canon of Mercy and the Sky Demon Great Technique can be considered, and later they can also help enhance each other."
Tao Yu tossed the demoness, whose consciousness was all scattered, to one side, who earlier looked down on him but later realized it was too late when things went wrong.
He was only relatively weaker in front of the little rich girl, nothing more.
Now with his significantly increased endurance, adding on the small skills mastered through the new Deification, Tao Yu was confident about taking on the little rich girl face to face.
It was just right to test it out on his return this time; five days' time wasn't much anyway.
Meanwhile, he would see if there was a way to get the rest of the money and achieve a second Deification of the Longevity Secret!
As he pulled open the room door, Tao Yu controlled the spirit seed with a thought. Although Bai Qing'er was still bleary-eyed at this time, she managed to prop herself up with effort, letting the silk sheet slide down to cover the unconscious Wen Cai Ting, and with a slight hint of weakness, she said,
"What are your instructions, Saint Heir?"
"Go and inform the Twins of my preparations, and tell them I will be back in five days."
Tao Yu spoke calmly, yet it made Bai Qing'er breathe a sigh of relief, and then she respectfully prostrated herself and said,
"I shall heed the Saint Heir's sacred command…"
…
Tao Yu chose not to return in the territory of the Yin Gui Faction.
Subjugation is one thing, trust is another; he wouldn't take such a risk.
If it were just the Great Tang it would still be fine, but if the Fortune Thief Alliance decided to launch an audacious attack upon his return, it wouldn't be worth it.
With a few leaps, Tao Yu found an uninhabited area on the outskirts of Yangzhou, and after meditating for a quarter of an hour, he completed his return…
"Indeed, I've gotten stronger again, the suppression from the world itself is a validator for the strong."
Tao Yu returned to the familiar rented room and let out a light chuckle as he sensed the pressure that had changed and grown once more.
The increase in suppressive force is only relative, but overall, it's still negligible.
With an easy dissolution achieved by the Grandmaster's mindset.
He sensed that there was no one at home, and calculating the time, his parents should have gone 'to work'.
When he came back last time, they were quite satisfied with this job.
And once again, Tao Yu picked up the watch to try and send a message to the little rich girl.
Surprisingly, this time the little rich girl responded immediately; he hadn't expected her to be in the present world.
"I am here, what's the matter? Han Ya, the external manager of the Development Zone, has gone missing; be careful out there."
Hearing the message from the little rich girl, Tao Yu also understood that Han Ya's situation had finally come to light!
It's even possible that the little rich girl had returned specifically for this matter.
The Suns currently hold a leading position in the Development Zone, but this does not mean they can completely ignore other forces, even if they are subsidiary to the Suns; some explanations and clarifications are needed.
Given Han Ya's power in their family, it's clear he was a core member; now with a member dead and powers lost, this could even generate resentment towards the Suns in their hearts.
So, the Suns really need to handle this matter properly.
"How could this be? Are the Development Zones that dangerous now? But I have discovered information about the Fortune Thief alliance. Does the young lady have time for a debriefing?"
Tao Yu spoke with a tone of shock.
To suggest monitoring Sun Shiyu's communication seemed highly unlikely.
Yet after all, such information encryption isn't entirely uncrackable; once you reach a certain status, you should leave no trace whether someone is watching or not.
"The Fortune Thief alliance? The new world you went to? Turn on the locator and wait for me..."
…
Sun Shiyu directly arranged for a hover motorboat to once again pick up Tao Yu and bring him to her villa, which served as a semi-public method of meeting.
"Master Tao, this way, please."
It was the head maid, Lara, who greeted him, and when Tao Yu saw her again, the extreme sense of danger that he vaguely perceived before seemed to have faded quite a bit.
The first time he came to see her, he felt she could crush him with just one finger.
Now, although the sense of danger was still strong, it was no longer that of being completely defenseless. Read new adventures at empire
Lara still wore that standard maid outfit, but this time when she came to fetch Tao Yu, she sniffed with her delicate nose before gently reminding him,
"Master Tao, it would be best to freshen up before coming to see the mistress next time."
"Ah? Okay, I got it."
Tao Yu was momentarily startled, then nodded, but he quickly picked up on something significant.
The advice to freshen up likely wasn't just about whether he had bathed or not; his actions of slaying demons before returning must have been discovered. Was she that Sensitive?
If Lara could discover it, then the wealthy young lady certainly couldn't be unaware of it.
Damn, he didn't expect her to be at home...
"Humph, with my improved strength and new skills, I'll surely impress her."
Tao Yu bolstered his courage, determined not to be swayed by such matters.
And Lara perfectly fulfilled her duties, bowing out after escorting Tao Yu to his destination.
"Come in, take your shoes off yourself."
The meeting place wasn't the living room this time, but the young lady's study.
Upon entering, Tao Yu saw the lady take out a small orb and reapply the room's shielding.
He then noticed her nostrils flare slightly, her gaze becoming subtly inquisitive.
"Cough cough, I've learned some skills."
"Ah, then I shall look forward to seeing them in action."
With a smile that was not quite a smile, after glancing at Tao Yu, Sun Shiyu moved past the topic and casually broached the subject Tao Yu mentioned,
"Is it that Martial World you visited? Are they stirring up trouble again?"
By now, the Divine Sculpture world also had the marking of a Martial World 01 fragment.
"Yes, but it's not Martial World 01 or 02; it's the newly discovered 03, where the power limit is much higher..."
Tao Yu quickly and concisely provided some explanations, even mentioning the Heart of the World fragment he had obtained.
And in the eyes of the wealthy lady, he was originally known for dual talents; he also mentioned that he successfully activated three talents with the Heart of the World.
"Third talent successfully activated on the first try? Your luck really is incredible, but it's a pity. If it's just an ordinary Heart of the World fragment, a talent activated all at once might not be very good. Next time, you might want to strengthen that talent first; the more talents you have, the harder it is to develop a new one."
The young lady shared her knowledge, prompting Tao Yu to nod his head earnestly in agreement.
"You did well. Gather them together and then wipe them out in one fell swoop; consider it revenge for Han Ya."
Sun Shiyu's words, filled with a smile, made Tao Yu smile knowingly.
"This time, I will come personally. Mark the rough map; just follow your route, and I will find you."
"Okay..."
"Come on, let me see what skills you've been practicing, hehe, and just to be clear, I won't accept any surrenders..."
"Bring it on, and I'll show you what I'm made of!"
