Chapter 81 Borrowing

Shen Zhi Qiu returned to the villa on the mountaintop and quickly checked the intelligence, finally understanding the reason for Xie Yanli's drastic change in attitude earlier.

"The Netherfire was extinguished last night."

Overnight, the behemoth that had ruled the dark world for over a decade was annihilated.

"Although Netherfire is a rogue force and the weakest among the major overlords of the dark world, that is still relatively speaking. It is not something that an ordinary force can do to destroy Netherfire in such a short period of time."

Shen Zhi Qiu shook his head and chuckled as he thought of Xie Yanli's reaction.

"Xie Yanli won't suspect that this was done by my Shen family, will he?"

Shen Zhi Qiu suddenly thought of something, paused, and murmured:

"No wonder Xie Yanli is suspicious. I just issued a warning to the Netherfire on behalf of the Shen family last night, and the Netherfire was extinguished that very night. Anyone would suspect our Shen family immediately if they were in that situation."

Shen Zhi Qiu's face showed an expression as if he had swallowed a candy wrapped with a fly.

"It's both sweet and disgusting."

Such a misunderstanding may restore the Shen family's prestige, but a lie is still a lie.

"A lie can't become the truth. This matter needs to be addressed promptly, otherwise it may cause unnecessary trouble."

Shen Zhi Qiu had come up with a plan.

"Clarify immediately."

Whether others believe it or not is their business.

"Rumors stop with the wise. If you believed it, that's your stupidity, and it has nothing to do with the Shen family. After all, we clarified it, and it's you who didn't believe us."

Having resolved this crucial issue, Shen Zhi Qiu began to ponder: who exactly was this mysterious force that extinguished the Netherfire?

"Could it be... Xia Xue's sect?"

Shen Zhi Qiu turned her head and looked in the direction of the Xia residence.

"Xia Xue's sect would actually go to such lengths for Xia Xue?"

This is taking it way too seriously.

Will he be groomed as the young master?

Shen Zhi Qiu's thoughts were churning, and it took him a long time to calm down.

"Never mind, no matter what, the Shen family bloodline in Xia Xue's body can never be removed."

Thinking of Xia Xue, Shen Zhi Qiu couldn't help but smile, recalling what had just happened.

"Oh, right, we got the island in the middle of the lake."

It went more smoothly than expected.

He thought it would take ten days to half a month of wrangling, and that he would have to resort to some underhanded tactics to get what he wanted.

"Of course, this is also largely thanks to the remaining prestige of Xia Xue's sect."

Shen Zhi Qiu took out a paper crane and released it.

"Tell her the good news."

……

Xia Xue first used her telekinesis to locate an area in an empty guest room next door, then used her teleportation ability to pinpoint the location, and then activated the teleportation.

Xia Xue's figure vanished from the bedroom in an instant and appeared in the guest room.

As she sensed this process, a flash of understanding appeared in Xia Xue's eyes.

"My personal dimensional space is just a transit station. I first enter the dimensional space, and then I am teleported to the designated location according to the coordinates."

Having understood the principle, Xia Xue became even more confident.

"Location doesn't require a medium; it can be done with telekinesis, and tracing the source can also be done naturally."

As she spoke, Xia Xue used the Source Tracing Technique to locate Youyou's current position, and then activated her teleportation ability again.

Youyou was playing a game when she suddenly sensed a disturbance in her psychic field. Her expression changed, and she was about to prepare to fight when Xia Xue suddenly appeared in front of her out of thin air.

What kind of tactic is this?

Youyou swallowed hard, her eyes wide, and asked in a trembling voice, "Sister Xia Xue, what's wrong?"

Could they be here to silence me?

Xia Xue heard the whispered thoughts and fell silent.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to silence you. I'm just testing the spatial abilities I just acquired."

As a precaution, Xia Xue disguised her teleportation ability by using spatial magic instead.

Xia Xue thought of something, glanced at the black robe with red lotus and the pure white mask hanging on the wall, wrapped them with her mental power, and with a thought, put them into her dimensional space.

"May I borrow your black robe and mask?"

After saying that, Xia Xue's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

However, Xia Xue's voice still lingered in mid-air.

"By the way, remember to keep this a secret."

Youyou nodded quickly, even though Xia Xue had already left. She held up three fingers and solemnly swore, "I, Youyou, promise not to reveal any of Xia Xue's secrets."

After making the vow, Youyou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister Xia Xue, you're getting more and more amazing."

They've even mastered spatial magic.

Youyou seemed to have thought of something, and like a fox who had stolen a chicken, she chuckled.

"Now that I've latched onto Sister Xia Xue's coattails, let's see who dares to mess with me from now on. Humph."

……

Xia Xue teleported back again.

"The technique of tracing the source is indeed effective."

Xia Xue finally confirmed her guess.

"The limitations mentioned by the system are mainly for individuals with a single superpower. If one has other superpowers or mystical arts, these limitations can be completely bypassed."

If there are no other means, like Jinghong, who only has the ability to teleport, then naturally one can only use a medium to assist in positioning.

"As for that deficiency, energy, my cultivation of the Dao Fa Zi Ran Gong has reached the Qi Hai realm, and my Bagua Zhang has reached the Dan Jin realm, so the energy problem is naturally no longer a problem."

Xia Xue realized that the max-level characteristic of teleportation was no longer primarily a flaw, but rather a second limitation, and she understood the reason behind it.

"For me, this is not a flaw. On the contrary, the daily need to enter the dimensional space to recharge is a major flaw, so the max-level feature eliminates this."

After all, entering the dimensional space every day is equivalent to disappearing from the real world for several hours each day. How could her teleportation ability possibly be hidden?

"The system is really thoughtful."

Xia Xue smiled and shook her head.

"Now, all preparations are complete, and only the final step remains."

A cold glint flashed in Xia Xue's eyes.

"Netherworld masters, beast masters, Gu masters, paper masters, you won't escape!"

Xia Xue suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, before that, let's deal with the culprit, that Qingfu Taoist from Yongcheng."

Because there were too many Qingfu Daoists, Minghuo specially added place names as prefixes for them.

According to the information Xia Xue obtained from the Underworld Master, the Qingfu lineage that was causing trouble behind the Xia family was none other than the Qingfu Daoist from Yongcheng.

"We probably can't keep the matter of the Netherfire a secret for long. We must deal with Qingfu Daoist before he realizes what's happening, or we'll be in trouble."

The four, including the Underworld Master and the Gu Master, were severely injured, and Xia Xue had already gathered enough intelligence and information. Even if they had temporarily escaped, Xia Xue was confident that she could find them.

However, if the culprit, Qingfu Daoren, whom I have never met and only obtained some information about from tracing the source, is not dealt with in time and he escapes, he may disappear like a fish into the sea or a bird into the forest, and I will never be able to find him again.

Having made her decision, Xia Xue was about to use the Tracing Technique to locate the past when she saw a paper kite flying over.

"Huh, the villa on the island in the middle of the lake was settled so quickly? Tsk tsk, that's quite efficient."

Xia Xue waved her right hand and snatched a paper crane from the table. She then used her kite-making technique to send a message.

Watching the origami cranes fly off the balcony, Xia Xue looked away.

"If someone looks for me while I'm away..."

After thinking for a moment, Xia Xue posted a note outside the door that read "Cultivating, please do not disturb."

Just to be on the safe side, he locked all the lockable doors in the room before clapping his hands in satisfaction.

"Now, no one will bother us."

Xia Xue looked in Yongcheng's direction, a cold smile on her face.

"Yongcheng, the Green-Clothed Taoist!"

Xia Xue's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot, while the remaining half of her sentence still echoed in the bedroom.

"We're finally going to meet!"
