Chapter 1416 The Plot Is Revealed in the End
“Brother, you said you were looking for someone, but you don’t know their ident.i.ties?” asked Grand Master Chu.
“I have the information here,” Chu Qingyi said.
“That is to say, you don’t know where they are now, so you can only look for them in the Astral Domain of Vast Heaven.” Grand Master Chu thought for a moment and said, “I’ll arrange it right away. This is more important.”
While speaking, Grand Master Chu waved his hand and said, “Honghu, Azurepeak, come in here.”
Clatter!
“Let’s go in.”
The Chu Family members also came in. Dozens of people stood aside.
Only Old Taoist Honghu and the Taoist Lord of Azurepeak dared to sit next to Grand Master Chu.
The rest of the people, including the Red Snow Mountain Leader, were all respectful.
After all, it was an Immortal Master that sat before them.
Some of the Chu Family’s core members of the younger generation looked extremely nervous.
On the day of the gathering, they said a lot of unpleasant things.
If Zhang Han bore a grudge against them, all he needed to issue was an order and the Grand Master would punish them severely.
Fortunately, he did not give such an order.
Zhang Han didn’t say anything about them from the beginning to the end.
This sort of disregard caused the group of juniors to be slightly discouraged.
People’s feelings were complicated.
If he ignored them, they felt that he didn’t take them seriously. If he minded what they had said, they would be scared.
“Send us a copy of all the information about those people’s ident.i.ties,” said Grand Master Chu to Chu Qingyi.
“Okay.”
When Chu Qingyi heard this, she sent a message to three people.
There were photos, names, and other basic information.
“Brother Chu, what’s this?” the Taoist Lord of Azurepeak asked.
“With you here, it will save me a lot of trouble. I need your help. Brother Hanyang is looking for these people, who are all his relatives. They have been devoured by s.p.a.ce and it is unknown where they are,” Grand Master Chu said. “Let’s use the forces we can mobilize and try our best to find them in the Astral Domain of Vast Heaven.”
“Let’s put up a reward,” Zhang Han said. “We’ll provide accurate information. Whoever finds a person will be rewarded with 100 million crystal stones.”
Poof!
Taoist Lord of Azurepeak almost choked on his own saliva.
How many times had he done that?
“100 million crystal stones for a person? Oh my G.o.d, it’s so crazy. How could a few billion crystal stones be given away so easily?”
The corners of Old Taoist Honghu’s mouth trembled. “I can’t wait to find them.”
“Hahaha. That’s not a big deal to him. Brother Hanyang has plenty of crystal stones and treasures.” Grand Master Chu laughed. “I once said that he was called Rich and Emperor-like Immortal Master by other experts who are at the Tribulation Stage. He is fabulously wealthy.”
“We’ll definitely do our best to get this done.” Old Taoist Honghu’s expression turned serious. “If any forces under my command find those people, we won’t take the reward. We’ll just take it as a chance to befriend Brother Zhang.”
“The same goes for me. We’re on the same side. We don’t need crystal stones,” the Taoist Lord of Azurepeak said.
It sounded like a lot of crystal stones, but they didn’t need ordinary ones anymore. Moreover, the friendly relations.h.i.+p of a Tribulation Stage master was so so much better.
“You’re being too courteous,” Zhang Han said helplessly.
Judging from the situation, even if they had to pay, they would do their best to look for his family.
“That’ll do. They’re very strong-willed.
“These people regard me as an Immortal Master. In fact, I’m only in the Void-refining Realm at the moment, and I can’t make a move casually.
“This seemed to be a lovely misunderstanding.
“But even so, I’ll still become a Tribulation Stage expert in the future.
“It’s also necessary to build a good relations.h.i.+p with powerful forces in advance.
“Given their temperaments, they will probably still offer to help if they know about the truth.
“However, they won’t be so respectful by then.”
“You should know that you guys are getting a great bargain.” Grand Master Chu said in a somewhat dissatisfied tone, “Let me tell you, even those famous Tribulation Stage experts want to run errands for Brother Hanyang, but still he let you help him. It’s really a great honor to you.”
“Hahaha, yes, the key is that we are all locals, aren’t we?” Old Taoist Honghu said with a smile, “We are familiar with the Astral Domain of Vast Heaven and many big sects. By contacting them, we will get the job done faster.”
“However, if the Four Great Sects also offer to help, it will be much simpler to get this done,” the Taoist Lord of Azurepeak suddenly said. “More than 80% of the forces here belong to them. In fact, Brother Hanyang, you can go to their Sect Leaders. We have some prestige in the Astral Domain, but we can’t compare with the Four Great Sects.”
“Why should he go to them? Do you think it’s so easy to do Brother Hanyang a favor?” Grand Master Chu asked before Zhang Han could answer.
“We’ll still benefit from this then.” The Taoist Lord of Azurepeak began to laugh.
“The Four Great Sects…” Zhang Han shook his head and said, “When I was traveling here, there were Eight Great Sects.”
“Yes.” Old Taoist Honghu nodded. “It used to be the Eight Great Sects. Later, after several great wars in the Astral Domain of Vast Heaven, some sects were destroyed and some were annexed. In the end, only the Four Great Sects were left on the Vast Heaven Star. After hundreds of years of development, the alliance forces became more and more numerous. The situation changed. In the end, the Four Great Sects became the leader with thousands of subsidiary forces.”
“What’s the point of talking about that? Didn’t the Sect Leaders of the Eight Great Sects back then still have to behave themselves when they saw Brother Hanyang?” Grand Master Chu snorted. “It’s just that he doesn’t want to recruit their powers, so he came to me.”
“It doesn’t seem to have much to do with you,” teased Old Taoist Honghu.
“It’s G.o.d’s will. Someone in our Chu Family has become Brother Hanyang’s disciple. G.o.d blesses our Chu Family.” Grand Master Chu sighed with emotion.
Hearing this, Chu Qingyi had gooseb.u.mps all over her body.
“Let’s not just sit here and get down to business. Isn’t someone getting married today?” Zhang Han said.
His words worked as soon as he spoke.
Grand Master Chu said straightforwardly, “Who’s going to get married today? Let them continue.”
“Right.” The Taoist Lord of Azurepeak hesitated for a moment and then said, “Shouldn’t their parents be present when they get married?”
Hearing this, Grand Master Chu snorted and said, “Why? Patriarch Chu didn’t do a good job. He dared to offend Brother Hanyang. I won’t spare him.”
His serious att.i.tude made everyone in the Chu Family nervous and they didn’t dare to speak. They were afraid of offending Zhang Han.
“Forget it, it’s not a big deal.” Zhang Han waved his hand slightly.
Grand Master Chu showed him much respect. His att.i.tude was very unyielding. However, he was actually also concerned about his family’s younger generation.
He firmly believed that if Zhang Han got angry, he could kill all the people present with a single thought.
“Brother Hanyang, I’ll ask them to come out first. After the ceremony is over, I’ll lock them up. Will that be okay?” Grand Master Chu asked tentatively.
Zhang Han was quite helpless.
After he nodded, Grand Master Chu gave the order for Patriarch Chu to temporarily come out.
The wedding ceremony was held as scheduled.
As the bride, Chu Qing had also heard of what had happened earlier.
There was a super powerful man in the house, Han Yang Immortal.
He was the Big Brother of Grand Master Chu and his first cultivation teacher back then.
Also, Chu Qingyi was the disciple of Han Yang Immortal.
The news came too suddenly, and Chu Qing was a little dumbfounded.
When she heard that the wedding couldn’t be held, her face turned even paler and she looked more powerless.
She was desperate, but the surprise soon came.
“The wedding can proceed?
“Wonderful!”
Chu Qing burst into tears of joy.
She adored Young Master Dong much.
When she entered the venue, she swore that she had never been so nervous since she was a child.
The ceremony was very simple.
After she arrived, Young Master Dong lifted her red veil.
“Alas!”
Young Master Dong let out a soft sigh.
“Am I marrying the Eldest Lady of the Chu Family just like this?”
As the two of them stood in front of each other, Chu Qing couldn’t help but ask via Designated Voice-transmitting Technique, “Young Master Dong, do you still like Chu Qingyi now?”
“Yeah.”
After receiving the answer, Chu Qing inevitably felt disappointed.
“I like you more. You two are different.”
Young Master Dong’s leisurely words made Chu Qing overjoyed.
The two advanced together.
When they went offstage to greet everyone-
“Grand Master.”
The two of them bowed to Grand Master Chu.
But before they could bend down their waists, Grand Master Chu raised his eyebrows and said, “What’s the matter with you two? Don’t you know whom you should bow to first?”
“What?”
Chu Qing was taken aback.
Young Master Dong reacted faster.
He immediately took Chu Qing to Zhang Han.
“Senior Hanyang, nice to meet you. It’s my great honor to be able to marry Chu Qing in front of you,” Young Master Dong said.
“Nice to meet you, senior.” Chu Qing felt a little guilty. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Zhang Han.
The gathering a few days ago was ordered by her.
If the Grand Master found out that she had offended his Big Brother, he would definitely punish her.
Zhang Han had seen countless people in his life. When he saw Chu Qing’s appearance, he knew that she was deeply in love. For the sake of Young Master Dong, she could do a lot of things, such as leaving Chu Qingyi in the lurch at that time.
Whether one was good or evil depended on whom one was dealing with, and there was no clear boundary.
However, Zhang Han still said at this time, “I think you owe my disciple an apology.”
Clatter!
Chu Qingyi’s shoulders were trembling slightly.
She felt a sense of warmth in her heart.
She had finally realized how good it felt to be cared for by her master.
Chu Qing’s face turned slightly pale when she heard that.
“Hmm?”
Grand Master Chu’s eyes narrowed.
Under everyone’s gaze, Chu Qing slowly raised her head.
She looked at Chu Qingyi and said, “I’m sorry. I love him, and I regret what I’ve done. You saved me back then, but I…”
“That’s enough.” Chu Qingyi raised her right hand, stroked her hair, and said calmly, “We’re even now. I have nothing to do with the Chu Family. I’m just Master’s disciple now.”
“Why would you have nothing to do with us?” Grand Master Chu became anxious when he heard this. “We can’t break off the relations.h.i.+p. So what if you’re an adopted daughter? You can still be very close to us.”
Chu Qing had a complicated expression on her face. Her mouth moved, and she wanted to say something. However, she was unable to.
“Continue.”
Zhang Han waved his hand.
Chu Qing was a little confused. “Should I continue apologizing or something?”
Fortunately, Dominic was quick-witted. He pulled her away and took the initiative to say h.e.l.lo to Grand Master Chu.
After they greeted the Grand Master, they needed to greet Patriarch Chu and the others who had come back.
At this time, Patriarch Chu was listless, like a frosted eggplant.
He sat silently at the side. There was no longer any arrogance in him.
“Father.”
“Father-in-law.”
Patriarch Chu got up subconsciously. He lifted his b.u.t.t halfway before he sat back and nodded as he said, “Very well.”
He was also quite perturbed.
After the ceremony was over, the banquet continued.
The several thousand people from the Chu Family, as well as the people from the Red Snow Mountain, were having a sumptuous banquet in the plaza.
“Brother Hanyang, shall we have a drink?”
At the innermost table, there were only a few people, who were Old Taoist Honghu, the Taoist Lord of Azurepeak, Grand Master Chu, Zhang Han, and Chu Qingyi.
Next was the place where Patriarch Chu, the Sect Leader of the Red Snow Mountain, and the others took their seats.
They chatted for a while at the dining table.
When they were almost done eating, Grand Master Chu said, “Those who were punished just now, go to Hurricane Cliff and reflect on your mistakes for a month.”
“Yes, Grand Master.”
Patriarch Chu and the others all got up.
Seeing this, Zhang Han said, “You’ll make up for your mistakes by doing what I told you to do properly.”
After all, he was a senior.
Patriarch Chu couldn’t help but lament with emotions.
“Look at him. He spared us right when he sees fit. Judging from his bearing, he is indeed an Immortal Master. He’s amazing.”
“Get it started now. Contact the forces immediately. I’ve already sent you the ident.i.ty information,” said Grand Master Chu to Patriarch Chu.
Patriarch Chu stood up and said, “I’ll absolutely do my best!”
“The same goes for you,” the Taoist Lord of Azurepeak said.
“Yes, sir,” the Sect Leader of the Red Snow Mountain replied immediately.
Several senior experts were all present. They contacted the Sect Leaders of the major sects and issued the tasks.
However, they still needed to contact some forces in person.
Grand Master Chu made contact with them right on the spot and sent some of them messages. Feeling worried, he sent people out to look for Zhang Han’s family.
The reward was 100 million crystal stones for one person found.
Under the discussion of many people, this matter began to be hyped up.
“Brother Hanyang, would you like to stay at our place for the time being?” Grand Master Chu asked enthusiastically.
“Sure.”
Zhang Han nodded. He didn’t choose to stay in the residence newly arranged for him.
After the banquet, he and Chu Qingyi returned to Chu Youyou’s house.
He began to wait.
The forces in the Astral Domain of Vast Heaven were very complicated.
There were signals in each Star Area that were used for communication.
But people could only spread the news in distant places by going there personally.
Many people from the Chu Family brought Grand Master Chu’s voice transmission jade slips to personally visit the famous experts.
Under deliberate publicity, more and more forces were aware that there were rewards with more than five billion crystal stones in total that had been put up.
Originally, only 1% of the sects in the Astral Domain could be found by the Chu Family, Red Snow Mountain, and Old Taoist Honghu.
However, due to the stunning rewards, 10% of the sects had learned about the news.
This was truly incredible.
“100 million crystal stones for each person found?”
“I’ll make a fortune overnight, won’t I? Hah, I like it. It’s been decided. I’ll stop cultivating these days and go to look for those people.”
“There’s information about their names, characteristics, and appearances. The missing person notices are on all the major websites and s.p.a.ce stations. When they take the initiative to contact us, we will get 100 million crystal stones.”
“Grand Master Chu, Old Taoist Honghu, and the Taoist Lord of Azurepeak… With their guarantee, there will definitely be no problems with the crystal stones.”
“I’m going to change the sound system of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p into a sound wave. I’ll play these missing people’s names and look around. There will always be opportunities.”
“…”
It was unknown how many people were attracted by the rewards.
The influence gradually spread.
In next to no time, almost half of the Astral Domain knew about this matter.
On the Reylo Star.
“100 million for one person found?
“It’s indeed Brother Han’s style.
“Son, let’s save 200 million for your Uncle Zhang. We’ll go to the Heavenly Double Star on our own.”
Zhou Fei was leading Chen Chuan on a street filled with delicacies.
Without Chen Changqing by her side, Zhou Fei kept a low profile and became more careful.
She was also worried about her husband. However, he was the famous Emperor Qing and she believed that he would be safe with his strength.
It was already a great blessing for her to be able to stay with Chen Chuan.
“Great, we’re going to Uncle Zhang. I wonder if Daddy is with him. Is Sister Mengmeng also waiting for us there? Also, Nina and the others, Auntie Zi Yan…” Chen Chuan was extremely excited.
The two of them spent some crystal stones and took the magnetic vehicle to the s.p.a.ce station.
The journey was long. Ten days later, they finally reached the Heavenly Double Star.
Zhou Fei, wearing a hat, led Chen Chuan to the s.p.a.ce station and said to a man, “Excuse me. Where should I go to get the reward for finding the missing person?”
“What?!”
The man was alarmed.
“Please wait.”
He immediately ran to the person in charge of the s.p.a.ce station, Protector Tu of the Radiant Inst.i.tute.
“Lord Tu, there’s a woman outside with a wanted person.”
“Hmm? How many people are with the missing one?”
“Only one. Furthermore, it’s a woman. Judging from her aura, her cultivation level isn’t high.”
“Let’s go and have a look.”
Protector Tu immediately got up and walked out.
Along the way, he had a lot of ideas.
He had already been stuck at the G.o.d Transformation Realm Peak Stage for more than a decade.
He was at the bottom of the ranks of the protectors in the Radiant Inst.i.tute.
It was unknown how many people had mocked him.
He hadn’t received many resources from the sect over the years.
“100 million crystal stones!”
With these crystal stones, he could totally buy precious treasures and break through to the Void-refining Realm. At that time, he could go to another Star Area, conceal his ident.i.ty, and develop himself in a new sect. In this way, he would be able to stand out in the future.
“Shall I do it or not?”
Protector Tu hesitated for a moment.
“I’ll observe the situation first.”
Protector Tu slightly narrowed his eyes and strode over.
When he saw Zhou Fei, his divine sense immediately spread out.
It didn’t matter even if he made such a move as he was in his own territory. If the other party was an expert, he could just admit his mistake later.
“She has some protective treasures?
“She can’t notice my soul sense.
“This person is definitely below the G.o.d Transformation Realm.
“That is to say…”
Protector Tu was full of smiles. “May I confirm the ident.i.ty first?”
“Okay.” Zhou Fei nodded.
“My name is Chen Chuan. I’m Chen Changqing’s Chen.” Chen Chuan was not afraid of the strange environment at all. He introduced himself.
“Please wait.”
Protector Tu held the communication device and looked at it for ten seconds. Then, he said with a smile, “Okay now. I can confirm your ident.i.ty. Come with me. I’ll send you to the ones you need to go to.”
Zhou Fei and Chen Chuan followed Protector Tu, entered an aircraft, and flew to the Beast Overlooking Peak.
They were about 25 kilometers away from the peak in the deep mountains and old forests.
Protector Tu said, “We need to walk from here. The ones who are looking for you are from the Chu Family. They’re of n.o.ble status, and aircraft are not allowed to fly in the air.”
“Okay.”
Zhou Fei held Chen Chuan’s hand and got off the aircraft with him.
“Wait a minute, Miss. Please come with me. You can’t be given 100 million crystal stones until your ident.i.ty is confirmed,” Protector Tu said amiably.
“I need to go with you alone?” Zhou Fei frowned slightly.
“Yes, this is a necessary procedure.” Protector Tu nodded.
He looked so harmless.
But in fact, he had already decided to make his move.
“Sorry, I can’t separate from him.” Zhou Fei shook her head and refused.
“That’s a pity. Don’t you want the 100 million crystal stones?” Protector Tu asked.
“It’s none of your business whether I want the 100 million crystal stones or not. Besides, I think you’re just the person in charge of the s.p.a.ce station, not the person in charge of this matter. You’re in no place to tell me what to do,” Zhou Fei said in a deep voice.
“Now, why would you still struggle?” Protector Tu sighed softly, “There is a reward of 100 million crystal stones for each person found, but it isn’t stated whether he needs to be alive or dead. I’m sure that they want him alive, but there are no other specific requirements. If I kill you and disable him, I will still have 100 million crystal stones. Why don’t you cooperate with me?”
“It turns out that you want to kill and loot!” Zhou Fei was angry.
At the same time, she was even more terrified.
She was afraid. She was afraid that she would die. She was even more afraid that something would happen to Chen Chuan. Also, she was afraid that Chen Changqing would not be able to see her and their son.
“I advise you to stop.”
Zhou Fei forced herself to calm down and said, “We all have treasures with us. If you are to take action, our relatives will find out as soon as possible.
“Oh, really?”
Protector Tu grinned hideously and walked forward step by step. “It just so happens that I also have some treasures with me.”
Clatter!
He took out a ceramic jar and threw it up.
It was suspended in the air more than 10 meters above the ground. It released energy and formed a hidden Bounded Domain.
This kind of Bounded Domain could block out any divine sense, will, aircraft, and other detection powers.
The plot was revealed. He wanted to kill and loot.
“Go to h.e.l.l.”
Protector Tu’s eyes were filled with cruelty and excitement.
