Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Chapter 696: Chapter 638: Gathering Troops and Stationing

"No help, no time, don’t want to deal with it."

Han Yu bared his teeth; just looking at Wang Xingzhi’s subordinates gave him a toothache.

Why don’t you ask your boss’s master who’s right here, and instead want me to find Su Xiaoxiao for you?

Isn’t that just flipping the universe upside down?

Moreover, Su Xiaoxiao always ditches his subordinates at the drop of a hat, and yet you’re still daring enough to look for him.

If one day he leaves you in some corner, you’ll have nowhere to cry.

Eleven, who was somewhat acquainted with Han Yu, spoke with a bit of hesitation.

"Mainly, it’s not a good thing for us to just wait around here."

The activities of the Yama Hall cultivators in the Central Continent required their response; without Wang Xingzhi and Liu Zongyuan, they had no choice but to rely on Su Xiaoxiao.

Click, click!

Their self-awareness is quite impressive; when there’s no work, they take initiative to give themselves tasks.

Unlike a certain old Daoist who only cares about his own cultivation every day.

Ever since the old Daoist discovered that Mo Xiuwen could bet with him too, he even ignored Han Yu and was now holed up in Old Sea Stone City.

Presumably, he’s planning to gain some benefits from Mo Xiuwen.

After all, Mo Xiuwen is cheap.

No kidding, if you look for Han Yu, he only recognizes the Inquiry Stone; he won’t accept anything else.

But with Mo Xiuwen, it’s different; just bring something that might interest him, and you can start a bet.

In comparison, it’s a real bargain.

The cultivators in the Central Continent were quite busy; aside from Quan Xiaotong having some free time yesterday, he was always directing things from the hall afterwards.

In the new city, streams of cultivators, big and small, came and went, either being sent out or returning.

Han Yu stood in the city for half a day, watching the diverse teams forming different groups.

"If only you were stronger, the scene in the Central Continent would be truly extraordinary."

Chasing Soul appeared in the city, sighing beside Han Yu.

If the cultivation level in the Central Continent could catch up, it would indeed be another superpower.

However, wanting to compete against such major sects as the Celestial Dao Sect and Yama Hall, which start at the Divine Platform Realm, the Central Continent’s foundation is vastly lacking, almost like a chasm.

"Why aren’t you heading to the old city and came here instead?"

Han Yu glanced at Chasing Soul with a sneer.

Ever since his cousin... Mo Xiuwen realized the Celestial Travel Jade, not only the old Daoist went there, even Chasing Soul was thinking of going there too.

"Your friend agreed to help me transform my body, of course I have to go watch over it."

It’s strange though; Chasing Soul actually dares to entrust himself completely to someone else.

That’s not like him at all.

"That’s because you have no idea how big of a promise he painted for me."

Chasing Soul’s face looked odd; if Mo Xiuwen’s theoretical ideas achieved even a part of it, it would be a qualitative leap for his power.

So, if there’s a chance of this big promise coming true, it’s definitely worthwhile to take a bite.

So why did you come back?

"Don’t even mention it."

Chasing Soul looked dejected; there was a terrifyingly powerful old Daoist over there, not doing any serious work, just wanting to gamble with Mo Xiuwen.

He went there for half a day, and didn’t even get a chance to speak.

Not to mention, he wouldn’t dare, probably fearing that one sneeze from the old Daoist could cripple him.

"He’s an outsider, better to get him out of here quickly, doesn’t make sense to keep him around."

Han Yu understood; Chasing Soul came back hoping he’d drive him away.

So this bright idea came to him?

But he glanced at Chasing Soul with a strange expression.

Where does this guy get the face to call others outsiders, isn’t he just as much of an outsider himself!

Nope, ignoring that.

The old Daoist focusing on Mo Xiuwen might not be a bad thing; for one, it temporarily rids Han Yu of the old Daoist, and for another, Mo Xiuwen might even gain some benefits.

Why not?

"Han Yu."

A surprised call came from a distance.

A few figures swiftly walked out from a team of more than ten people, and even before getting close, Han Yu recognized them.

Ye Hei, covered in dust, approached with joy on his face.

"The Sect Leader always said you were around, finally caught up with you."

It’s been almost half a year since they last met!

The changes in both of them were considerable; Ye Hei seemed to give off an increasingly steady vibe.

Han Yu... Han Yu’s strength had changed a lot.

As for his demeanor, Ye Hei really couldn’t see what had changed.

It was a joyous reunion of old friends, but there was one shadowy figure that suddenly snorted coldly.

You Li stood angrily at one side, arms crossed, watching coldly.

"Which of you upset her?"

Han Yu wore a bewildered look as he cluelessly asked Ye Hei.

"It should be you."

Ye Hei leaned in with a playful smile.

After all, among peers, there’s always a sense of rivalry.

Those on the path of cultivation can’t escape it either.

Who isn’t proud and ambitious? From the start, Han Yu was far stronger than the others of his age.

And now, he’s so strong that there’s no catching up to him.

Han Yu seemed lost in thought, then he laughed.

"It’s nothing. When I have the right Pills, I’ll treat you all."

Chasing Soul, who had been silent all along, had an incredibly bizarre expression on his face.

I’ve really bought into your nonsense.

One dares to speak, the other dares to listen.

This is clearly about a girl not satisfied with Han Yu not noticing her little mood, yet you two twisted it into this.

Even an ancient relic like me understands, and yet you two don’t.

Chasing Soul glanced at You Li, noticing that his once subtle expression had now returned to normal, probably because the budding feelings got tangled up by these two fools.

Pah! Two idiots.

"I hear you can chase those old monsters and give them a beating now; pretty impressive!"

You Li spoke with a cheerful smile.

Less of a maiden’s modesty, more of a female cultivator’s boldness.

Every time they met again, Han Yu had improved further, and over a long time, they were truly left far behind.

There should have been some admiration for the exceptional peer, but it got messed up by these fools.

As the atmosphere grew slightly awkward, Ye Hei started a casual chat.

These days, almost all of these Sect disciples have joined in the search across the Central Continent.

Traversing mountains and valleys, looking for points of the array, searching for the eyes of the array.

Even seeking out mystical beings were included in their search range.

"Actually, we weren’t supposed to return so soon, but now that I’ve found some signs, I had to come back first."

Ye Hei spoke with a serious demeanor, clearly implying things were not going well.

And indeed, what he said next wasn’t good news.

"Dispersed Sect disciples from various places have reported to me that those Yama Hall cultivators seem to be gathering towards the Western Territory."

If it were just one or two reports, he might not have given it much thought.

But when such occurrences increase, one has to ponder the implications.

"Could it be that the eye of the array is truly there?"

Han Yu clicked his tongue; they had just returned from the Western Territory, and now the Yama Hall was rushing there.

This behavior was difficult to understand.

"No, this precisely indicates no arrangements in the Western Territory."

Ye Hei frowned and shook his head, dismissing Han Yu’s guess.

If there were any arrangements there, why gather so conspicuously?

But then, the purpose of Yama Hall is...

"They’re setting up camp."

Chasing Soul suddenly spoke; this approach is very much a signal of Yama Hall gathering forces.

That’s not good at all, as this implies that Yama Hall’s subsequent activities would become even more significant.

"And your Central Continent may completely become a battlefield."

Chasing Soul sighed; if Yama Hall acts this way, Celestial Dao Sect would certainly do the same.

With large-scale battles among powerful cultivators, who knows what the Central Continent would become?

Ye Hei had this suspicion, which was why he hurriedly brought people back to the New City, intending to personally find Quan Xiaotong over this matter.

"Then you go ahead with your business."

Han Yu didn’t delay him further; it seemed this situation wasn’t promising, as evidenced by Chasing Soul’s response.

Ye Hei left in a hurry, leaving You Li and the others behind.

The two chatted idly without much continuity, while Chasing Soul originally had an interest in seeing if the feelings would reignite.

But unfortunately, aside from talking about old times and recent happenings, nothing substantial developed.

This caused him to lose interest immediately.

"By the way, what do the mystical beings you’re looking for look like?"

You Li suddenly asked out of curiosity during their conversation.

After all, few have the fortune of seeing mystical beings; the Fire Spirit is with the Mo Family, and the Wood Spirit hides in the back hills, so these Sect disciples haven’t seen them, which is understandable.

To say what they look like, really left Han Yu stumped.

Of the two he encountered, the Fire Spirit was a duck, and the Wood Spirit, a deer; such bizarre transformations defied any pattern.

"It’s uncertain; probably whatever form they wish to take, they become that."

Han Yu replied with a speculative tone.

"I think..."

You Li seemed thoughtful and was about to speak when suddenly a figure, as if out of control, crashed into the New City...
