Chapter 306: Chapter 250: Master Han
Luo Yuqi and his party made seven or eight trips back and forth in mid-air, yet the result was still nothing gained.
As the sky gradually darkened, the group could only gather together again.
"It seems your speculation might not be correct."
The boss, Miao Zuesen, had already lost his patience. With this spare ti, he might as well verify a few more pill formulas, or study several new pills on hand. At the very least, the spirit dicine in the garden needed watering.
"It absolutely can’t be wrong."
Luo Yuqi hurriedly explained, although his tone lacked the previous confidence. Initially, based on his judgnt, he had even traced the clues to Sea Stone City.
But how long had the four of them, all in the Realm of Transcendence, been wandering around this area, without even seeing a ghost shadow?
This was quite a slap in the face.
With four people it was hard enough to find anything, let alone if there was only one person left. How long would he take to find it?
So he could only speak soothingly, quickly trying to keep everyone calm.
With the boss starting, the third, Wang Ruhai, was also unwilling as he shook his head impatiently.
His interest in the old dicine was more than half gone.
No matter how good it is, if not even a shadow can be seen, what’s the use?
"Fourth, if it really doesn’t work, I’ll go back first. I’ll tinker and co up with a new breed of spirit dicine for you. Maybe then you’ll be saved."
Luo Yuqi’s face darkened upon hearing this. He was only severely injured, not dying. What did he an by ’saved’?
Moreover, was the second brother’s modified dicine even edible?
The speed of the poison from a poison pill might not even match the growth of his flowers and plants.
Though the second, Qu Buzhi, didn’t complain much, he also ca up to persuade him.
"Fourth, if it really doesn’t work, why don’t you try my ho redy? I promise it won’t kill you."
Luo Yuqi just felt a mont of frustration. It wasn’t their cultivation level that had declined, so they didn’t take it seriously at all.
In hindsight, it might have been better to get help from those other four people.
But on second thought, those four weren’t any easier to deal with either.
Instantly, he felt a wave of vexation.
Finally, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Why don’t we head back to Sea Stone City first."
The group assud he wanted to give up, yet he continued speaking.
"I want to publish a high-price purchase request for Jade Dew Buddha Hand Fruit in Sea Stone City. Instead of us searching, better let them co out themselves."
This seed like a good idea. After hearing this, the group felt hopeful and no longer clamored to return.
As they flew towards Sea Stone City, Han Yu moved slightly below.
"What are you planning to do?"
The Artifact Spirit looked at Han Yu, who was following them while traveling, in confusion.
"Four Transcendent Realm are searching for sothing, wouldn’t you say it must be sothing good?"
Han Yu countered to the Artifact Spirit.
"No kidding, how could sothing that attracts those at the Transcendent Realm be ordinary."
The Artifact Spirit rolled its eyes, speaking in a disgruntled tone.
Sothing that drove four Transcendent Realm to such lengths had to be extraordinary.
"Don’t you think it’s reasonable that I have a grudge against that old monster and strike at him from behind?"
Han Yu continued.
Back then, in the mountain stream outside Ink Cloud Mansion, that old monster didn’t show any courtesy to Han Yu. Without even a word, he kidnapped people and almost killed Han Yu. If it weren’t for the old butler of the Mo Family intervening, that old monster’s single move might have made Han Yu kneel on the spot.
This was nothing but settling old scores and taking revenge.
Sea Stone City!
Though called a city, it was more like a huge harbor.
This place was by the sea, quite similar to Quantai Prefecture at the Southern Border back then.
Near the coastal area, a dock was built. Once the ships docked, stepping off the pier ant entering the city.
The sea breeze carried a salty scent, and although it was nearing dusk, there were no fewer pedestrians on the street; in fact, it beca even more bustling.
Apart from rchant ships, the sea domain was also dotted with various modified cruise ships.
They featured shops with characteristics of the sea domain. The most famous restaurant in the East Sea was located on one of the most luxurious cruise ships.
Places of dining, drinking, and entertainnt could all be found on the cruise ships in the sea domain.
When night fell and rows of red lanterns were hung up, the entire sea domain seed to form a single sheet of starlight, brilliant and dazzling.
There was the hustle and bustle of mortals, as well as the tranquility belonging to cultivators.
In such a place, beyond was the East Sea; heading north was all mountains, and heading south led to Nanli Sword Studio.
There were virtually no sects established here, so not many cultivators would co.
Thus, when four cultivators descended from the sky, it was indeed eye-catching.
Especially since their cultivation levels were profound and inscrutable, their intentions unclear.
Naturally, this drew the attention of the local Guardian Mansion. The local guardian, a cultivator from the Guardian Bureau, was just beyond the Divine Gaze Realm, about forty years old, with a thin face and sowhat dark skin.
The sudden joint arrival of several Transcendent Realm cultivators frightened him imnsely.
Lately, the major cities of the Imperial Court have been restless. Leaving aside minor disturbances, both Dongling City and White Emperor City had erupted in cultivator battles within a half-month span.
Especially Dongling City, the entire city was razed to the ground.
While White Emperor City still had its shell, the situation from the Inspectorate’s reports wasn’t much better than Dongling City.
A major battle among several Transcendent Realm cultivators destroyed more than half the city. The civilian casualties were near twenty percent, while another thirty percent awaited redies. Without successful treatnt, casualties would rise to fifty percent.
Sea Stone City doesn’t have the kind of strong city defenses like other cities. If a similar battle breaks out here, just the aftermath could overturn half of Sea Stone City.
After all, most people here live by the boats, and even a slightly bigger wave could be enough to sink the ships at sea.
These days, he’s been practically begging and praying that no Great Cultivator cos here.
But things never go as planned, and he couldn’t avoid it after all.
When dispatching the Palace Guard, he repeatedly warned them.
"Keep the visit discreet, and absolutely do not offend the other party."
Who knew that just after dismissing the Palace Guard, another figure landed on the boat.
The Guardian glanced at the newcor, rubbed his eyes with suspicion, and after repeatedly confirming, his face dropped as if mourning...
Han Yu was also puzzled. Why was the Guardian looking at him with such a strange expression?
Before he could speak, the other party approached with a pained expression.
"Master Han!"
The address left Han Yu feeling a bit flattered; it was quite polite.
Moreover, the Guardian’s attitude was very good, well, if you ignored the long face.
"You know ?"
Han Yu curiously looked at the Guardian and asked.
The Guardian’s mouth twitched slightly. He knew too well, given his own history at the Guardian Bureau of Chongming Tower, even the Inspectorate and the Guardians stationed outside the sect had received ssages from Che Dapao.
Not only Han Yu’s portrait, but also his deeds have been spread across various state prefectures.
"Our Commander has clearly stated that Master Han is a friend of our Chongming Tower, and the Guardians of various state prefectures should treat him with courtesy when they encounter him."
The Guardian cupped his fists and greeted.
Given Han Yu’s help to the Fifth Tower several tis, it was indeed beneficial for both sides.
Moreover, the Fifth Tower owed Han Yu quite a few favors.
For this, Che Dapao was also willing to give him enough face.
However, anyone who read Han Yu’s resu would be intimidated.
Wherever he went, sothing happened!
He, along with two Transcendent Realm Cultivators, destroyed half of White Emperor City.
Dongling City was also related to him.
And then there were the series of minor and major troubles heading north.
Which Guardian wouldn’t be scared upon seeing Han Yu; spotting him ans trouble has arrived!
The Guardian was filled with dread, thinking, my dear mother! This ti, four Transcendent Realms ca here, and then Han Yu showed up.
It’s crucial not to have any involvent; otherwise, if things get out of hand, Sea Stone City would be dood.
People! Often what you fear most is what happens.
Seeing that the other party knew him, Han Yu found things much easier and imdiately spoke up.
"Can you do
a favor?"
The Guardian felt a jolt at those words, and Han Yu’s voice continued.
"There are four Transcendent Realm Cultivators here; can you keep an eye on them and see what they’re doing in the city?"
Such matters aren’t difficult for the palace guards of a city; since they entered openly, they didn’t plan to hide.
Asking the palace guards to tail them is asking too much, but it’s not hard to find out what they ca to do.
It’s not unusual for a city governnt office to observe foreign cultivators, and it wouldn’t necessarily alert the other party.
So Han Yu didn’t think it would be difficult, but then he noticed the Guardian’s face turned ashen, as if he’d made so excessive request.
"Is this... very difficult?"
Han Yu probed tentatively.
Yet, the Guardian gave a smile uglier than crying, answering irrelevantly.
"Master Han, can you not fight in Sea Stone City?"
In his eyes, surveillance wasn’t important anymore; preserving Sea Stone City was the top priority.
Those four are obviously enemies, not friends, with this person in front of him. Based on previous city lessons, this Guardian was prepared for a showdown.
Four! Four Transcendent Realms, if they really fought, Sea Stone City would be turned upside down.
Han Yu’s face darkened, he hadn’t done anything yet! How did it co to a fight already?
And from the other’s expression, it seed sure a fight would happen.
"No fighting, just help
find out what that group intends to do here, don’t worry, I’m not one to always resort to violence."
Han Yu hurriedly explained, and whether the other believed it was uncertain, but judging by the Guardian’s half-hearted promise, he was far from enthusiastic.
The Guardian could only helplessly invite him onto the boat first, then hurriedly called a few palace guards for instructions.
After waiting for a whole two-hour period and still not receiving a report from the guards, about a quarter of an hour later, a few rushed back and shook their heads at the Guardian.
"After entering, the four just found a place to rest, no signs of activity yet."
The Guardian was bothered, quietly tapping his forehead, outright saying it’s too troubleso.
These four high-spirits doing nothing after arrival actually made him more uncomfortable.
He thought to himself that it’d be better if they quickly did whatever they wanted and left! Them staying behind ant Han Yu would too.
Both parties lingering here, if a conflict erupted, it’d be a disaster.
Not to ntion, he’d likely have to sleep with one eye open tonight...
