Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again

No matter what he does, it seems there's always a hidden force holding him back.

Not only does it prevent his success, but it even causes him harm.

During the Republic of China era, Dongfang Yu and his father could do as they pleased.

The legal system was not yet perfected; the New Nation hadn't been established, and it was a time of warlord strife.

So, for Dongfang Yu, there were hardly any constraints.

The Mystic Sect was different back then compared to now.

The sect held a high status.

In many fields, they had significant influence.

Even many noble families and the houses of dignitaries worshipped people from the sect.

And precisely because of this belief, the Heavenly Dao Rules controlled them much less than they do now. It was entirely different.

Now, a certain set of rules has been established.

Each follows their own path, not interfering with one another.

And the order of the mortal world has been established, unlikely to change easily.

Thus, the Mystic Sect is currently on the weaker side.

This is something Dongfang Yu is only now realizing.

No wonder Sect Leader Nie is so cautious now...

Dongfang Yu's mind is racing, and he has something important to do when he returns.

Today, his cultivation and spiritual energy seem to have been affected.

The gemstones stored in the apartment need to be put to use.

Dongfang Yu soon gets into the car.

The driver naturally knows what Dongfang Yu is going to do, but seeing him come back alone with a cat, he knows it's another failure.

Therefore, he doesn't dare ask, because he also knows that all the high-ranking officials who were in contact with him have been arrested, so currently both he and the Sect Leader need to act low-key.

Furthermore, the less he knows, the safer it really is for him.

And knowing less is also safer for the Sect Leader.

So, it's silent throughout the journey.

After returning to the villa, Dongfang Yu feels that some forces have been drawn from him.

This fills him with alarm.

It's something he couldn't figure out along the way.

Could it be the light?

But that's not quite right.

If the light is harmful to the human body, then Public Security wouldn't set it up in that room, because it would also harm those guards.

Things here aren't done that way.

They place great importance on camaraderie and brotherhood.

So, they wouldn't do things that kill eight hundred enemies, at the cost of a thousand of their own.

So, if not the light, what else could it be?

Sitting on the sofa, Dongfang Yu's eyes sharpen, could it be aimed at the Mystic Sect?

Still, it doesn't quite make sense.

Dongfang Yu feels a headache, and his body is uncomfortable.

He stops letting his thoughts run wild and instead goes to the secret room.

There are many gemstones, which are known as spirit stones by the sect.

The spiritual energy released there can replenish his lost cultivation and spiritual energy.

But the required amount is immense.

After absorbing half of the gemstones in the secret room, Dongfang Yu finally feels a little better.

However, this treasure that has been stored for a hundred years is also half gone.

If he doesn't replenish them in time, he won't safely pass the life-and-death tribulation nine years later.

And what he needs are the finest gemstones; ordinary ones are no different from regular stones.

Dongfang Yu furrows his brows and thinks, it looks like he really needs to visit the Gu Family.

Though not today.

The Gu Family is not the same as it used to be.

Nowadays, one cannot come and go from the Gu Family as they please.

In fact, thinking about it, it's reasonable. No one would sit by idly when threatened.

Especially not the Gu Family.
