Chapter 319 : You Two Have Been Hiding Deep
She paused, stepped back, and quickly waved out the token. Under the stimulation of divine power, the token enlarged, like a shield blocking behind them, fending off the frenzied divine power attacks from the pursuing group.
The chaotic bombardment from both sides suddenly stopped, and the air seemed to stagnate.
More accurately, the opposite side unilaterally stopped. The Quan family members halted their pursuit as if they had seen something unexpected. The elders of the Quan family even changed their expressions slightly, not for any other reason, but because in the center of the token was carved a single character—
Yu.
"This is..."
"The Yu family's token!"
"How could the Yu family's token appear? Could this thief be from the Yu family?"
"How could someone from the Yu family do such a despicable thing? Could it be that this token was also stolen..."
"Even if she really stole the Yu family's token, how could a mere thief use the token? Who exactly is this person?"
The Yu family and the Quan family were the two top-tier families in the Upper Realm, mutually antagonistic. Although the Quan family's power was growing day by day, the Yu family's foundation was no less than the Quan family's. No matter how arrogant the Quan family was, they had to be wary of the Yu family's power. For a moment, those elders didn't dare to act. Never mind, if they wouldn't act, she would. Chu Sang was never soft-handed when taking action. After a barrage of attacks, she threw a smoke bomb and ran. This series of practiced escape maneuvers showed that she had been chased more than once.
"What you're doing is too risky."
"Big brother, if you have time for sarcasm, why not bring out some useful divine artifacts for me to use?"
Wasn't he a famous artifact forger? Shouldn't he have quite a few useful divine artifacts on hand?
Chu Sang had been in the Upper Realm for so long but hadn't seen many proper Upper Realm divine artifacts. As the person who saved his life, shouldn't it be okay to bring out a few divine artifacts to use? Otherwise, when that group catches up, this guy will be locked up in that restricted area again, and she'll probably be hacked to death by the crazed Quan family people. Well, well, well, everyone would have a tragic ending.
"Alright, let me look." Quan Yu had probably been locked up for too long and hadn't exercised his muscles in a while. His fingertips moved, and a wind blade materialized in his palm, sweeping behind the two of them. Invisible threads were cut and shattered.
"This way, they shouldn't be able to catch up."
Chu Sang clicked her tongue, "So cunning."
Previously, she was always the one scheming against others. She hadn't expected that shortly after arriving in the Upper Realm, she would start a journey of running for her life.
Quan Yu spoke again, "How did you get involved with the Yu family?"
"Don't slander me. I have no connection with any family in your Upper Realm. As for why I got the Yu family's token, you can't ask me that... You'll have to ask those two, right?" Her tone changed as she looked towards the path ahead, where two figures were hurrying over. It was the two sisters she had just met not long ago.
The two had been purchasing materials in a nearby city when they sensed the token being activated and rushed over, just in time to see her being chased by the Quan family. The scene was truly heart-stopping.
The elder sister, with a slightly more impetuous temperament, hurried over and said, "You really aren't afraid of death, daring to infiltrate the Quan family alone. We thought you would at least make some preparations, but we didn't expect... so many Quan family guards chasing you, even several Quan family elders have mobilized. What grudge did you incur? If the Quan family wasn't wary of the Yu family, they probably would have captured you immediately."
"Your guess is not wrong. The Quan family indeed has a grudge against me. Someone from the Quan family disregarded the laws of both realms and privately descended to the lower realm to slaughter cultivators. The continent I was on suffered their persecution... I ascended this time to save the continent. The Quan family won't have easy days ahead."
"So what you said before was true..."
The two sisters were both stunned. When she had asked those puzzling questions earlier, the two had suspected her motives and guessed seven or eight tenths of her grudge with the Quan family. However, neither of them had deliberately thought in that direction because throughout history, it was impossible for any deity to dare challenge the laws. They hadn't expected the Quan family to be so audacious. It was truly detestable!
"If other families in the Upper Realm learn of this matter, the Quan family will likely be pushed to the forefront, becoming the target of public criticism."
Both nodded in agreement.
Chu Sang took out the token again, "Ji Mo Shan, Ji Bai Yu, you know my background now. Isn't it time you properly explain your background?"
Two names were carved on the jade token, naturally the names of the two sisters.
"Are you from the Yu family?"
"Yes."
"You two sisters have been hiding quite deep. I thought you were just ordinary Upper Realm deities. I didn't expect you to have connections with the Yu family."
The elder sister, Ji Mo Shan, scratched her head, looking a bit embarrassed, "Hey, this is actually a coincidence. We really didn't mean to hide it from you..."
"We only joined the Yu family later. Of course, we're not native clan members of the Yu family."
The top native families of the Upper Realm would recruit many ascended, talented foreign deities to expand their family's influence.
The younger sister, Ji Bai Yu, explained, "We have an ancestor who joined the Yu family, not the main family, but a branch of the Yu family. However, this branch has a close relationship with the main family, considered one of the most powerful branches apart from the main family. Now he's a respected elder with some reputation in the Yu family."
On the surface, the two sisters didn't seem to be doing well in the divine realm, but cultivators who could ascend from the lower realm were all extraordinary. They were all top-tier geniuses in the lower realm, and their family power certainly wouldn't be weak. Their clan must have had ascended ancestors before. With the elders establishing a foothold in the divine realm, the younger generation could follow in their predecessors' footsteps, receiving the protection and support of their ancestors, making life in the Upper Realm much better.
Listening to this, Chu Sang was almost moved to tears. Why was she the only one starting with a great escape? She also wanted to rely on someone powerful and take the back door.
"By the way, who is this..."
After finishing, the two sisters turned to look at Quan Yu.
They had never seen him before, and he had been silently listening to the three of them talk from beginning to end, without interrupting. He was as quiet as the air with little presence, but his outstanding appearance and that elegant temperament clearly showed he was no ordinary person, truly difficult to ignore.
The two clearly remembered that there was no one else beside Chu Sang. Was this person she brought back from the Quan family?
For a moment, both were a bit wary, after all, they were now part of the Yu family, and the Yu family had always been at odds with the Quan family.
Chu Sang also turned her head to meet Quan Yu's gaze. Very few people knew the true situation within the Quan family. Ordinary people in the outside world probably didn't know what these two young masters of the Quan family looked like.
She thought for a moment and said, "A friend of mine. I need his help with something."
The two breathed a sigh of relief and didn't pay any more attention. Then Ji Bai Yu said,
"Actually, there was one more thing we wanted to tell you last time, but you left in such a hurry, we didn't have a chance to discuss it with you... We want to invite you to join the Yu family!"
