Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?-Chapter 266 - 226: The Ones Who Crippled Ou Mingdong

The two exited Heaven-Asking Tower and were on their way to the Government Office when a figure hurriedly approached.

"Senior Brother!"

A cultivator from Unparalleled Tower stepped forward and saluted Ye Hei.

"Li Qingquan has been found."

The two looked at each other simultaneously, having just dealt with one issue, another one popped up.

"And..."

The cultivator from Unparalleled Tower had a somewhat helpless expression, because when Li Qingquan was discovered, it was Huangfu Liang who noticed him first. This guy had been wandering the streets, waiting to ambush someone, and he really managed to spot him.

Perhaps his obsession was too deep; just by the sight of a figure, Huangfu Liang could determine it was the target and chased after him without a word. The cultivator from Unparalleled Tower leaped out from the shadows and tried to pull him back but failed.

"Which way did he go?"

Ye Hei furrowed his brows and quickly asked.

The cultivator didn't dare delay and immediately responded, "He went out of the city, about a quarter of an hour ago."

This stubborn ox, doesn't know what's best for him.

Han Yu, filled with rage, said nothing and directly soared into the sky, flying out in pursuit.

Li Qingquan had indeed thoroughly tricked him. Back then, he had been lurking in Qingzhou Prefecture for several months trying his luck, and later, when he finally dug up a Dragon Blood Stone, several waves of people besieged him.

The stone, which was hard to obtain, was returned to the Sect, only to be swindled by Li Qingquan during a drinking session into Qin Ziming's hands. Qin Ziming was then coaxed out and killed, and the Dragon Blood Stone was taken too.

To be fair, from start to finish, Li Qingquan's figure indeed orchestrated the events, but don't forget, given Senior Brother Qin Ziming's status, how could Li Qingquan handle him alone?

Huangfu Liang ultimately let hatred get to his head and acted recklessly.

Just think about it, the other side certainly wasn't acting alone; they definitely had accomplices.

After fleeing eighty miles outside the city, Han Yu finally caught sight of Huangfu Liang searching around a stone forest.

"You're letting your emotions cloud your judgment, haven't thought about being ambushed?"

Han Yu descended, stopping beside Huangfu Liang, speaking with irritation.

Seeing the arriving person, Huangfu Liang first showed delight before retorting with a frown to Han Yu's words.

"I'm not letting my emotions get the better of me. Those Unparalleled Tower disciples were too indecisive, insisting on gathering more people. How could I wait for that? Better to follow him first."

He believed Han Yu would definitely come to help, but he hadn't expected to lose track of the person.

Han Yu was also scanning this stone forest. The surroundings were filled with oddly shaped stones, resembling stone pillars, but also resembling trees branching apart.

This eerie natural spectacle, more than being peculiar, gave a sense of eeriness.

"Did you go in to check?"

Han Yu turned to Huangfu Liang and asked.

Huangfu Liang rolled his eyes, showing his teeth, "Brother Han, I'm straightforward, not stupid. Once the person disappeared here, if I went in and got ambushed, what then?"

Alright! That statement truly proves he wasn't acting on impulse; he knew to guard the outside.

"Stand guard outside; Ye Hei and the others will arrive shortly."

Han Yu planned to go inside himself; whether it was that middle-aged man or the Langya Mountain traitor, they both came for the Dragon Blood Stone, so whoever crippled Ou Mingdong must be one of them.

Based on this alone, Han Yu couldn't let him go.

Inside, there was almost certainly an ambush. He had been followed for a long time, and suddenly disappearing here seemed suspicious. Huangfu Liang wasn't suitable to go in; otherwise, Han Yu would have to look after him as well.

If he were alone, no matter which Divine Techniques the other side had, they couldn't overcome him.

"Or should we wait a bit longer?"

Huangfu Liang quickly pulled him back; if Ling Wuce came, with the two of them, it would be even more secure.

Han Yu shook his head. If he didn't fall into the trap, how could the person behind Li Qingquan emerge?

If a large group gathered, why would the other side be willing to play along?

"You wait here, don't come in."

Having said that, Han Yu walked into the stone forest, weaving through strange stone trees, their shadows cast on the ground appearing somewhat menacing.

Before even making it halfway, a thick fog inexplicably arose around him, the visible range now less than two yards, with everything about ten steps away becoming a blur.

The continuously moving mist was like the bloody mouth of a giant beast opening wide, branching out a path as Han Yu advanced.

"You finally arrived."

A slightly smug voice came from ahead, and a figure emerged as the mist parted.

Li Qingquan appeared with a smug expression, looking at Han Yu with a smile, yet not daring to take another step closer.

Han Yu wasn't in a hurry to make a move; instead, he leisurely watched the other party and asked.

"Was it you who disabled Ou Mingdong?"

"Guess?"

Li Qingquan smiled, eyebrows raised as he spoke.

Another mouthy one, Han Yu sighed deeply.

Just as he was about to slap the person to cure their bad habit, the ground beneath him suddenly shook. Blood-red flags emerged from the ground, instantly forming a circle with Han Yu at the center, spanning dozens of feet.

Blood Spirit Array! Activate!

The flags emitted a bloody light, enveloping the entire area in a world of blood.

In the bloody hue, Han Yu quickly found himself immobilized, as if sunk into a mire. This strange force carried a heavy drag, locking him firmly in place.

After confirming Han Yu was completely trapped, Li Qingquan laughed loudly.

"That's right, that tough guy was indeed taken down by us."

Having received his answer, Han Yu turned his head towards the still thick mist and spoke slowly.

"Ox, are you just going to let me talk with a small fry?"

He was all too familiar with such an array. Such a formation capable of trapping him, he had only encountered once, in Dongyi City.

The same flags, the same effect; there was no need to guess who was behind Li Qingquan.

However, what puzzled Han Yu was that the middle-aged man was clearly from the Corpse Refining Lineage, just like Ox. Why were they acting separately?

While Han Yu was pondering, the surrounding mist gradually dissipated, and soon two figures slowly appeared before him.

Qi Bai and Ox smiled at him. Ox, with a charming expression, batted her eyes at Han Yu and spoke in a clear voice.

"Little brother, we meet again."

Han Yu was inexplicably chilled, finding Ox's manner extraordinarily odd. He glanced at Qi Bai on the side, frowning.

Indeed, completely shameless, two Transcendence Realm cultivators ambushing a Divine Gaze Realm. No wonder Ou Mingdong was subdued without even seeing them clearly.

Ox's beautiful eyes continuously scanned Han Yu, especially eyeing his physical form with a peculiar look.

To survive Tribulation Thunder unharmed, how powerful must this body be? She swayed three steps at a time, slowly entering the blood aura without being affected.

As she neared, she extended her slender finger and gently rested it on Han Yu's chest, tracing circles continuously.

"Your body is frighteningly tough; I'd love to examine it thoroughly."

Both Han Yu and Qi Bai shivered simultaneously, especially Qi Bai, as if recalling something, his expression turned strange.

"I really want to cut you open and take a good look." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Ox continued her wandering fingers, her explorations moving ever downward.

"I suggest you stop touching, I'm getting a bit aggravated."

Han Yu's lips twitched as he coldly spoke.

"No worries if you're aggravated; big sister is here!"

Ox covered her mouth, laughing coquettishly and flirtatiously.

Han Yu shook his head, sighing, "The main thing is, when I get aggravated, I explode!"

Just as he finished speaking, a violent surge erupted from beneath, leaving no time to react. A massive explosion instantly engulfed the two of them.

From afar, the sea of flames reaching several dozen feet into the sky resembled a flower bud. Then, as the bud suddenly collapsed, another explosion occurred, even more violent than the first, with the nearby Stone Forest either being blown away or reduced to dust.

When the dust settled, Han Yu remained in place, surrounded by devastation. A hundred-meter-wide crater spread out from where he stood.

What a pity. As soon as he entered, he had already buried a Fire Series Divine Technique underfoot as a precautionary measure to save himself or potentially catch the opponent off guard.

The Divine Technique protruding from the ground could be triggered, but Ox evidently had many tactics as well. While the first explosion indeed caught her off guard, she managed to escape the second one.

A moment later, Ox's figure slowly emerged from another location, her Miao Clan outfit largely burnt, especially her short skirt, which exposed a lot.

Flat!

Han Yu glanced once and dismissed her, gradually stretching his limbs. With the blast, the dreadful array had already been obliterated, leaving nothing behind.

Ox patted her flat chest nervously as she slowly returned. If not for the array's resistance at the last moment, she wouldn't have escaped the second explosion in time. Such terrifying explosive power.

She had indeed underestimated Han Yu. Just because they had previously suppressed him in Dongyi City, she grew complacent. And it was precisely this complacency that nearly cost her just now.

Not only was she filled with regret, but Qi Bai also showed a strange expression, secretly grateful. Had he been impatient and searched Han Yu himself earlier, he might have suffered severe injuries.

Li Qingquan's fear was written all over his face. As a Divine Gaze Realm cultivator, he dared not intervene in a Transcendence Realm conflict. Without a word, he turned and fled.

"You did all this just for this, right?"

Han Yu reached out and took out the Dragon Blood Stone, tossing it before the two of them and then putting it back, wagging his finger provocatively as he spoke.

"The thing is right here. If you want it, come and get it."
