Who Brought Him into Chapter 432 - 374: Turns Out to Be an Old Friend

Chapter 432: Chapter 374: Turns Out to Be an Old Friend

"Of course the Fire Spirit is trapped."

Xiao Shui mumbled to himself. The northern courtyard of the Xiao Mansion, once the residence of the Patriarch, was now heavily guarded by cultivators.

He walked all the way to the forr council hall, and upon pushing the door open, he was t with a vast and dim space.

Once intricately carved and painted, everything had been replaced with cold stone pillars, of which there were many.

At the center lay an altar, sothing Han Yu was undoubtedly very familiar with.

Wasn’t it exactly the sa as the kind in the Earth Palace!

On the altar, there stood a Great Cauldron, around which the Dragon Capturing Pillars extended chains to enclose it.

Inside the cauldron, the flas flickered constantly, from a distance appearing like fire, but up close, they kept changing form.

As Xiao Shui entered, the flas surged upward, seemingly attempting to break free, but the mont they touched the chains, they could only wail and fall back down.

After struggling in vain several tis, the flas finally retracted, revealing a fire-red... duck!

Even after seeing it multiple tis, every ti Xiao Shui saw this duck, he found it sowhat irritating to the eyes.

"As a Fire Spirit, don’t you find becoming a duck quite illogical?"

Ducks and fire really don’t go together, do they?

Except for roast duck.

The Fire Spirit quacked angrily twice, still unsatisfied, it poked its head out of the cauldron, constantly calling out to Xiao Shui.

"Quack quack quack..."

"Are you sure you won’t help ?"

Xiao Shui glanced at the duck’s head and continued to ask.

"Quack quack quack..."

"This won’t end well for you."

"Quack quack quack..."

At this point, Xiao Shui found it hard to continue the conversation; his head was now filled with the quacking sounds of the duck.

The Fire Spirit also seed to notice this; its duck neck stiffened, and then a wisp of fla shot out from its duck bill.

Xiao Shui caught it with his hand, and the fla swiftly entered his body, to his delight.

"You’re willing to help ?"

"No, the old duck just thought you didn’t understand, cursing wasn’t satisfying."

At this mont, the sound coming from the Fire Spirit finally ceased to be the sound of a duck.

But it would have been better if it had stayed as a duck; once the Fire Spirit confird that Xiao Shui understood, it started cursing non-stop like a barrage of fire.

"Bastard..."

"Damn you..."

"Son of a bitch..."

All sorts of profanities continuously spewed from the opposite duck bill.

Only after a quarter of an hour did the Fire Spirit finally stop in satisfaction.

Seeing that it had vented, Xiao Shui finally spoke with a calm face, "What would it take for you to be willing to help

break through to the Fourth Tier?"

"Tsk tsk!"

The Fire Spirit shook its duck head, clicking its tongue in mocking, "The great old duck is never coerced. The old duck will never help you, give up!"

Xiao Shui was not surprised by its answer; this dialogue was not new to him.

"I’ve said many tis, this won’t do you any good."

"If you want to break through, release the old duck and then we’ll talk."

The Fire Spirit said so.

"That’s impossible, you know I can’t let you go, at most I can let you suffer a little less."

Xiao Shui shook his head, directly refusing.

"Then there’s nothing to talk about, and don’t dream about finding the old duck’s main body to threaten it."

The Fire Spirit angrily retracted its head, losing interest in further nonsense, this foolish human thinking they could benefit from it was simply wishful thinking.

"No, your main body has already been dug up."

Xiao Shui’s sudden remark startled the Fire Spirit, causing it to jump in fright before a mysterious force pressed it back down.

After a mont, the duck head erged again, with eyes as small as mung beans staring straight at Xiao Shui, speaking venomously.

"Which heartless bastard dug out the old duck..."

...

Achoo!

As the night wind blew, Han Yu suddenly sneezed, and not just him, a group of elders from the Nine Sects sneezed one after another.

"This isn’t a good on!"

The Great Elder of the Qinglan Sect rubbed his nose, "Even I, a Realm of Transcendence cultivator, started sneezing; I feel I won’t live long. Maybe you guys should give

the pills first to hold on."

"I’m not trying to snatch them from you; I just fear that in a few years you’ll be sweeping my grave, I wouldn’t want to lie in the grave watching you mourn."

"I don’t believe you for a mont. With that logic, that guy from Piaomiao City should go before you, he has even fewer years left than you."

Elder Luo also rubbed his nose as he spoke.

The wronged Great Elder of Piaomiao City could only respond with a dark face and a cold snort.

"At tis like this, that guy becos much more lovable, quieter than you lot."

He looked aningfully in the direction of Ou Mingdong, where the Great Elder of the Unparalleled Tower lay like a corpse once again.

"What are you going to do, old monk?"

The Great Elder of Piaomiao City had just started to speak when he saw the old monk walking over, sitting cross-legged amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd.

The chanting sound of sutras gradually floated out, and after a mont, the monk stood up, satisfied.

"I just realized I’ve never chanted a single rebirth mantra despite my old friend dying so many tis, what a sin."

The whole group exclaid in astonishnt.

If the Great Elder of the Unparalleled Tower were to revive, he would certainly fight you the first chance he got. Chanting the Rebirth Mantra over soone’s ’corpse’, who are you cursing?

These were all troublemakers; the saying that the older you get, the more childish you beco was vividly manifested in this group; Han Yu’s mouth twitched, feeling the several elders were like children.

"Forget it, there’s no need to wait anymore, all of you seniors should go rest!"

At this ti, it seed that the Artifact Spirit’s worries had co true.

Since the Fire Spirit hadn’t co by now, it wouldn’t be coming.

As for the pills, Han Yu estimated the ti, there were about five more days before they arrived.

If within those five days, they still couldn’t find the Fire Spirit’s spirit body, the pills should be disposed of quickly.

The side effects were sothing the elders weren’t afraid of, but he was.

They all had disciples and descendants waiting on them, enduring for years until they ’grew up’, then playing another seven or eight years of ’mature’, finally gaining twenty more years of life.

He, however, was different; a solitary soul, if his mind had to start over, playing with mud and wetting the bed was one thing, but wasting ten years inside, now that was another.

The crowd quickly dispersed; since Han Yu was certain the Fire Spirit wouldn’t co, who would want to stay with a piece of broken stone?

Once everyone left, the entire tent beca extrely quiet.

The moonlight gradually grew hazy, as a cloud passed by, casting a long shadow underneath.

The shadow continuously extended, crawling along its way.

When it reached the outside of the tent, it hopped across different shadows, under their cover.

The entire process was without a single sound.

Yet the shadow did not choose to enter, instead, it paused for a mont and then imdiately retreated.

Though it appeared completely hidden and undetected, it managed to alert soone.

Han Yu squinted his eyes at the shadow; the thod seed familiar, Ghost Series cultivation technique?

Bai Bufen!

Indeed, it was exactly like Bai Bufen’s Ghost Shadow Body Technique, no, even superior.

To be able to approach so stealthily and leave with such subtlety, there’s no way it could be a simple person.

"Why didn’t you follow?"

The Artifact Spirit asked Han Yu, puzzled. No matter how concealed the opponent’s body technique was, if Han Yu was determined to pursue, the opponent would have no escape.

"It’s unnecessary."

Chasing was to find out who the other party was and their purpose.

But the wave emanating from this guy was like fluorescence in the darkness, no guessing needed to know who it was.

"In Minzhou City’s Fire Series Divine Power Users, only two exist, one is

and the other is him."

The shadow was indeed undetected, and without any sound, even those few Realm of Transcendence elders might not notice.

Moreover, this guy kept using the shadows cast by the moonlit clouds for cover throughout, showing just how much more clever his thods were than Bai Bufen of those days.

The only fatal point being that he happened to possess Innate Divine Techniques, and Han Yu’s Sea of Consciousness happened to contain an Artifact Spirit that could sniff out these techniques.

"So since we know it’s our old friend Young Master Xiao Shui, is there any point in following?"
