Chapter 763: Chapter 360 The Power of the Fire Origin
After Long Cang left, Lu Yi inquired a few more cultivators, some alone, some in groups.
But no matter who it was, no one recognized the Red Clan.
Lu Yi couldn’t help but feel disappointed about this.
Afterward, Lu Yi and Liu Ningshuang left the inn with a few others to ask around elsewhere, but in the end, they came up empty-handed.
By the time they returned to the inn, it was already evening.
Lu Yi and his companions sat down in the living room, all wearing expressions of helplessness.
“We’ve asked so many people, and no one knows the Red Clan. Perhaps they have already perished?” Donggong Ming Yue suggested.
The others also entertained this thought and nodded slightly in agreement.
Lu Yi also began to lose hope and said, “Let’s search for a few more days. If we can’t find them in the Cangyan Star Region, we’ll look at the nearby star regions. Maybe they have migrated.”
According to the star map, the original territory of the Red Immortal King’s clan was in this area. If they couldn’t be found here, then locating them would be very difficult.
They had either disappeared into the long river of history or migrated somewhere unknown.
Disappearing into the river of history left no trail to follow, and migration… with the universe being so vast, searching would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Lu Yi felt somewhat disappointed. Although this was a task he took on to repay the Red Immortal King for imparting the Sunburning Starfall Technique, he had to admit, the task reward was very tempting. Not completing it felt like a loss.
He planned to struggle a bit longer. Who knows? Maybe he could find them.
In the following days, Lu Yi and his companions explored the Cangyan Star for traces of the Red Clan.
However, there was no progress.
Six days later, just as Lu Yi and the others were about to give up, there was a twist.
In a bar, Lu Yi looked at the Golden Immortal cultivator in front of him, covered with brown scales and over three meters tall, raised an eyebrow, and asked with a hint of surprise, “Do you really know the whereabouts of this clan?”
The tall cultivator, whose face somewhat resembled a snake and whose vertical pupils were somewhat yellow, nodded slightly and smiled, “I saw this clan many years ago and know roughly where they are located. However…”
He looked at Lu Yi and asked, “If I take you to find this clan, what are you willing to offer?”
Lu Yi raised an eyebrow and chuckled, “What do you want? Star Marrow? Cultivation treasures? Or Immortal Scripture?”
For Lu Yi, as long as he could find the people, giving something in return was trivial. After all, to him, these were just numbers, the things he least lacked.
The tall cultivator seemed stunned by Lu Yi’s grandeur and was momentarily dazed.
He quickly came back to his senses, his eyes shining as he looked at Lu Yi, “I want one hundred thousand Star Marrow, one High Grade Immortal Device… and a Golden Immortal Technique!”
“No problem,” Lu Yi nodded.
The tall cultivator was stupefied once more.
Seeing Lu Yi’s nonchalant attitude, he suddenly felt as if he had asked for too little.
But now, there was no chance for him to back out.
He then said, “Alright, when do we leave?”
“How about now?” Lu Yi replied.
The tall cultivator chuckled and said, “Alright, you name the price, you’re the boss.”
Lu Yi, with Liu Ningshuang and the others, followed the tall cultivator to the port.
Thereafter, the tall cultivator brought out his own Heavenly Boat—a brown vessel covered in dense scales, resembling a living giant lizard.
“Climb aboard my Heavenly Boat? Or will you follow me?”
“We’ll follow you,” Lu Yi decided not to use the White Jade Skyship, instead opting for the Red Sun Boat.
He was after all on a mission to find someone, and being too conspicuous wouldn’t be wise.
Who knew the current situation of the Red Immortal King’s clan? If he used the White Jade Skyship, it might attract unwanted attention, which might not be a good thing.
The tall cultivator glanced at Lu Yi’s Red Sun Boat, grinned, and said, “Let’s go.”
He boarded his own Heavenly Boat, which soared into the sky, heading towards the starry void.
Meanwhile, Lu Yi and Liu Ningshuang boarded the Red Sun Boat and followed behind.
On the Red Sun Boat, the Ling Luo Peak Master asked as he looked at the Heavenly Boat ahead, “That guy really knows the location of the remnants of the Red Clan, right? He’s not deceiving us, is he?”
Liu Ningshuang also rarely nodded, “The Junior Brother is being generous, and given that people had seen the White Jade Skyship before, I’m afraid many cultivators are eyeing us. They can’t make a move in Cangyan Star, but outside of it, they might not be able to resist.”
Lu Yi nodded, “Master and Senior Sister are correct… But we don’t need to worry. As long as it’s not an Immortal Venerable seeking trouble with us, we shouldn’t be in any danger.”
Liu Ningshuang and the others nodded slightly in response.
They all understood Lu Yi and knew that he was quite cautious in this respect. Moreover, they were confident in Lu Yi’s strength.
Along the way, the large cultivator’s Heavenly Boat passed through several Star Gates.
They quickly arrived in a rather desolate Star Region, which had very few stars, mostly an endless expanse of dark vacuum with the occasional wandering asteroid and other celestial bodies.
The scaled Heavenly Boat flew quietly ahead, heading towards a not so large asteroid system.
Lu Yi controlled the Red Sun Boat as he followed.
At that moment, Lu Yi raised an eyebrow and surveyed the surroundings, his face showing a hint of realization, “As expected, this is a trap.”
