(Seeing some readers complaining, why is my Chapter subscription price more expensive than others?
The ones complaining are probably new users on Qidian.
Chapter pricing is not based on how much each Chapter costs, but based on the word count, it is the same across the entire site. I have more words per Chapter than others, so the price is higher.
It also means, I update more than others~)
Chapter Eighty-One[Venerable Can’t Cross the World Wall]
"Fellow Daoist, why are you inquiring about Chen Jue?"
Mrs. He’s eyes and tone were filled with caution.
Chen Yan spread his hands: "Just curious, I heard this person has a notorious reputation, but I don’t know what heavenly principles he violated."
Mrs. He shook her head, her tone very resolute, and even her voice became extremely cold: "This is not someone you should be inquiring about."
Chen Yan’s heart moved, but before he could ask further, Mrs. He had already shook her head and said: "Enough! Our transaction is complete, this old woman will not accompany you here to enjoy the night, farewell!"
After saying this, the old fox spirit twisted her head, circled around the tree trunk beside her, and her figure disappeared instantly.
Chen Yan frowned, watching this person disappear, thought for a while, and then sighed.
He turned around and waved towards the distant bushes: "Come out!"
The bushes rustled, and Chu Keqing emerged while crouching, holding a phone in her hand, she quickly ran over to Chen Yan.
Chen Yan looked at the woman: "Did you record it all?"
Chu Keqing’s face was pale and she looked nervous: "Recorded, recorded it."
As she spoke, she glanced around with a hint of awe in her eyes: "Is this Mrs. He a monster? Is she a fox spirit from the mountains?"
Just now, the conversation between Chen Yan and Mrs. He, because of the distance, Chu Keqing could barely capture it with her phone, but she could not hear a single word of the conversation.
Chu Keqing thought for a moment, then stared at Chen Yan and asked: "Senior! Mrs. He is not dead--did you already know?"
Chen Yan waved his hand, but did not answer: "Let’s go back. Everything here is done. If nothing unexpected happens, we can leave here early tomorrow morning."
"Ah? Then, what about Boss He, how do we explain to him?" Chu Keqing said with a bitter face: "Tell him the truth, that Mrs. He is not dead, but actually a fox demon from the mountains... He probably won’t believe it! Moreover... he might get furious."
Chen Yan glanced at Chu Keqing’s phone: "Just send me the video as soon as you get back to your room and leave the rest to me."
The two of them came down from the mountain, and Chen Yan once again used the Escape Rune Technique to bring Chu Keqing back to the He Family Mansion. They climbed over the wall and returned to the guest room in the backyard. Chu Keqing’s expression was still very complicated. She wanted to speak several times, but it was clear that Chen Yan didn’t want to say much--Chu Keqing dared not go against this "ninety-one year old monster senior’s" wishes, so she pressed down her words and silently returned to her room.
Back in his own room, Chen Yan sat on the bed, thought for a while, then picked up his phone and opened WeChat. He first received the video sent by Chu Keqing, watched it once, then finally made a phone call.
Very soon, the call connected, but there was no voice on the other end, just the sound of someone chewing food.
Chen Yan spoke with a serious tone: "Young Lady Gu, I have some questions to ask you."
"Go ahead," Gu Qingyi’s voice was very concise.
"What is an Inspector?"
On the other end, Gu Qingyi was silent for a moment, then the chewing sounds stopped. After a while, Gu Qingyi slowly said: "How do you know about the Inspectors?"
"Never mind how I know, I just know," Chen Yan said quickly. "Tell me about it."
Hearing Gu Qingyi still not speaking, Chen Yan added: "Previously you refused to tell me about the Domain Realm--but now I already know about the Inspectors. There’s no point in hiding it any longer."
Gu Qingyi finally sighed: "There’s not much to say. A long, long time ago, the Great Powers of the Domain Realm discovered the World Wall, and gathered their forces to set up an Array, opening a passage between the two realms. But after opening the passage, they found that the world on this side of the wall had thin Primordial Qi, it was a desolate place for cultivation, of no value to the Domain Realm."
"And back then, the passage was opened by leveraging the Heavenly Dao power of the Domain Realm."
"If our cultivators cross over to your world, causing havoc and harming creatures, it would violate your world’s Heavenly Dao."
"What happens if it’s violated?" Chen Yan asked.
"Violating the Heavenly Dao must be settled," Gu Qingyi sighed. "The people crossing over are from the Domain Realm, the passage through the World Wall was opened using the power of our Heavenly Dao."
"If people in your world are harmed by those from our Domain Realm, then... your world’s Heavenly Dao will seek settlement with our world’s Heavenly Dao, demanding compensation from our Heavenly Dao’s energy flow to settle the debt..."
"This is an unbreakable rule, the Heavenly Dao is most just, if our Domain Realm’s Heavenly Dao owes a debt to your world’s Heavenly Dao, it will certainly be repaid."
Chen Yan felt somewhat perplexed at first, but soon realized... it was easy to understand.
It’s like, if a naughty child sneaks into my house and breaks things, I would definitely seek compensation from the child’s parents.
The naughty child is yours, of course you must compensate.
"So, if the people from the Domain Realm cause destruction in our world, our Heavenly Dao will seek settlement with your Domain Realm’s Heavenly Dao, and then your Heavenly Dao will have to compensate with energy flow?"
