Who Brought Him into Chapter 448 - 390: Finding Someone

Chapter 448: Chapter 390: Finding Soone

Within the narrow passage lies the heart of the mountain, stretching endlessly into the unknown.

The young man could only barely manage to inch along the narrow gap, clutching his bag and animal skins, moving sideways.

About a quarter of an hour later, a faint gleam of light suddenly appeared before him. The young man skillfully slipped through the gap at the end, finally gaining so dim visibility.

The exit of the gap led to a stone chamber, with an oil lamp placed on each side. Though not overly bright, it was enough to see the surroundings clearly.

After a quick and simple tidy-up, the young man donned his animal skins again, picked up his bag, and headed towards the exit of the stone chamber.

Outside the stone chamber was a massive hall, where the area was already brightly lit.

Illuminated devices were embedded in the surrounding rock walls, casting light throughout the entire hall.

With familiar ease, the young man approached a spot on the rock wall, pushed hard against it, and a narrow door was forced open. He quickly squeezed through with his bag in tow.

A long corridor stretched downward, its narrow silhouette elongated nacingly by the corridor’s lighting array.

The stillness was oppressive, the silence suffocating, and a rumbling sound began to echo from the end of the corridor.

When the young man stopped in his tracks, so did the rumbling.

"What a fresh scent of flesh and blood, heh heh..."

...

Elsewhere, one person and one spirit were still fumbling about.

Truly bizarre, soone could just disappear like that.

Just earlier when Han Yu was standing there dumbfounded, the Artifact Spirit suddenly exclaid, "Towards the city gate."

The sense reappeared.

But before Han Yu could move, the Artifact Spirit cried out again, "Gone again!"

The sense vanished without a trace.

"Are you losing it?"

Han Yu’s expression was peculiar, doubting the Artifact Spirit’s senses for the first ti.

It’s not embarrassing to be losing it, it’s an Artifact Spirit after all!

What if it’s broken sowhere?

"You’re the one losing it, this isn’t my problem."

The Artifact Spirit was furious, baffling even itself, but it surely wasn’t its fault.

The problem definitely lay with that cultivator.

"Hasn’t it seed like things have been getting stranger lately?"

Han Yu pursed his lips and sighed helplessly.

"How about we switch?"

The Artifact Spirit hesitated, profoundly touched.

"No switch."

Han Yu shook his head decisively. The list from the Celestial Secret Tower had people from all over, having to travel from another remote location next ti would be exhausting and troubleso.

"I’ll just wait here, not believing they won’t show up again."

In the rice shop, Han Yu had hurried off in a frenzy, and Ye Zhiqiu had been musing curiously, only for him to return just as unexpectedly.

Entering with a sullen look, Ye Zhiqiu teased with a strange expression.

"Why aren’t you smiling, didn’t you love to smile?"

Han Yu grimaced at him, giving a sidelong glance, "If you’re not funny, don’t force it."

"If you want to find soone, why not ask ?"

Ye Zhiqiu leisurely pulled over a chair and sat down, smiling ambiguously.

Han Yu’s eyes brightened, Ye Zhiqiu was indeed reliable, perhaps he really had a way.

"I really do have a way."

Ye Zhiqiu looked at him sideways, grinning, "You help

out a bit, and I’ll help you."

"Okay, I’ll handle a deal with Quan Xiaotong later, help you up the ranks."

Han Yu clapped his hands heartily, only to et a roll of eyes from the other side.

"No need for that, don’t ruin my cultivation."

So what did Ye Zhiqiu want?

"Just help

with a bit of work."

Ye Zhiqiu smiled brightly.

About a quarter of an hour later, Han Yu looked at him with a strange expression, feeling a slight toothache.

This guy really was the kind to kill his acquaintances!

He treated him like a henchman.

What Ye Zhiqiu wanted his help with wasn’t difficult, Youzhou, although barren, rarely saw foreign cultivators step foot in it.

And that was exactly why it attracted the attention of Evil Path sects.

"There are nearly twenty sects of various sizes in the Youzhou mountains, and I ca for this matter."

Ye Zhiqiu spoke eloquently.

"Is the Fifth Tower planning to suppress the Evil Cultivators?"

Han Yu quickly realized that Ye Zhiqiu wouldn’t co to such a desolate place without reason.

The Fifth Tower undoubtedly had big plans, which made perfect sense.

Most likely, they were preparing to root out the spies planted by the Corpse Refining Lineage in the Cultivator Realm.

"You don’t expect

to single-handedly destroy all those sects, do you?"

Han Yu rolled his eyes and grumbled.

"Of course not, if you did all the work, what would be left for ?"

"Besides, who said you’re ant for combat? The Inspectorate’s direction is to gather where possible, suppress where not, and if they’re dogs of the Corpse Refining Lineage, just kill them."

"Help

gather the two largest sects, I’ll handle the rest of the small fry."

Just two sects to gather, why wouldn’t Ye Zhiqiu go himself?

"Well, my cultivation isn’t enough; they won’t listen to ."

Ye Zhiqiu blushed with sha, even after so long, he still couldn’t breach the barrier to the Divine Gaze Realm.

A cultivator at the peak of the Seeing

Realm stepping into soone else’s territory trying to subdue them would likely be beaten without the status of a Guardian protecting him.

"I’ll help with your task, then how do you plan to help ?"

Han Yu nodded, "Persuading" two sects wasn’t too difficult either way.

First, if they listened to him, everything would be fine.

If they were unwilling, they’d have to be made to comply.

And what could Ye Zhiqiu do to help him?

Seeing the other beckoned to summon a little servant... wait, it should be a Palace Guard, who after receiving so instructions, was sent out.

"This place is so barren, typically few cultivators set foot here; any new face is hard to miss."

The servant left swiftly and returned just as fast.

This efficiency was sowhat exaggerated!

Ye Zhiqiu, upon hearing the servant’s report, was also taken aback.

Indeed, there was a strange individual.

"Today, an odd person did appear, coming and going at the location you ntioned, here to buy beast at."

"But strangely, no Palace Guard saw this person co and go."

"Only the common people at the at stall outside saw them, strange, right?"

Han Yu felt a stirring, it had to be this person.

"What did they look like?"

"A young man, wearing a peculiar beast skin cloak." The servant recalled the description from the inhabitants, supplenting, "This person cos every few days."

"That makes it much easier."

Ye Zhiqiu clapped his hands and chuckled, as long as there were traces to follow, finding them again would be easy.

"Next ti they co, I’ll call you along."

Han Yu frowned slightly, with such elusive thods, blocking them might not be easy, especially when even the Artifact Spirit couldn’t sense them properly.

"They must have a way to conceal themselves, making them hard to find."

Ye Zhiqiu chuckled.

"No, it’s actually quite easy. The entire Youzhou City is full of my informants; this is the benefit of being amiable with the people."

Since this person could be seen by so commoners multiple tis, they weren’t entirely avoiding people, so finding them wasn’t impossible.

"You handle my tasks, and leave the finding to ."
