Chapter 536: Chapter 479: Weren’t You Supposed to Be in Grave Danger?

On this end, Han Yu was carrying a person and speeding leisurely towards Central Continent, enjoying a rare moment of tranquility.

For days now, Yama Hall and Celestial Dao Sect had been fighting relentlessly, causing chaos, but it turned out to be an advantage for him as now he was left undisturbed.

After flying for half a day, he gradually saw various birds circling overhead, and soon white mist appeared before him, with dense clouds stretching across thirty miles.

He plunged into the mist and flew for a while longer, eventually sighting the mountains on the coast, and after rushing through, he finally stopped at the old site of Sea Stone City, a place altered by his battle with the fragmented soul, turning the once coastal town into a shallow sea.

Then Han Yu became puzzled as there was nothing here left of its former shape, and without a Guardian Mansion, how could he find the Guardian Mansion?

Without a Guardian Mansion, how could he find Quan Xiaotong!

"Over by the mountains, there’s Divine Techniques energy."

Finally, relying on the capabilities of the Artifact Spirit, Han Yu ventured deep into the mountains where he found the original inhabitants of Sea Stone City!

Upon seeing Chicken Feather Gall again, he was directing the Mo Family in construction, and to Han Yu’s surprise, Ling Wuce had indeed brought people from the Mo Family to build the city.

Chicken Feather Gall was incredulous at first sight of Han Yu, rubbed his eyes thinking he was seeing things, and after confirming, his expression became extremely peculiar, "Weren’t you supposed to be doomed?"

He really had a way with words, with his first sentence making Han Yu’s face darken.

"Who the hell spread that rumor!"

Han Yu asked through gritted teeth, with a dark expression.

Chicken Feather Gall was startled and sheepishly pointed towards the direction of the mountain valley, "The Wood Spirit divined with its leaves, and each time it was an odd number; it said you were doomed."

Wood Spirit?

"Is it still here? Isn’t it afraid of being captured?"

Han Yu looked at the pointed direction but didn’t see the massive form of Wood Spirit.

According to Chicken Feather Gall, "Its main body is heavily injured, now lying in the valley waiting for the Hundred Herbs Bureau to help recover."

As for why it didn’t leave, the reason was unexpected by Han Yu.

"It says it’s guarded the people in the mountains for a thousand years and can’t abandon them."

Chicken Feather Gall sighed.

Han Yu was impressed by this, at least more reliable than the Fire Spirit.

"You’re planning to build a city here?"

Han Yu looked around at the bustling crowd, not only Mo Family cultivators but also cultivators from the Imperial Court, moving boulders and materials with cultivation, looking extremely busy.

Chicken Feather Gall nodded, then shook his head.

"It’s a city, but not exactly."

Since the East Sea Realm is so important, building a city clearly is no longer appropriate; Quan Xiaotong ordered everything to be constructed according to fortress specifications.

As for who they were defending against, no explanation was needed.

"Can you really defend it?"

Han Yu wasn’t underestimating them, but the power of the Divine Platform Realm was beyond human capability, and before it, even the Realm of Transcendence was weak like a child, much less these ordinary people.

"Defense isn’t necessarily needed, just timely discovery of the enemy’s movements."

Chicken Feather Gall hadn’t witnessed the battle but had intentionally gone to see the ruins of Sea Stone City.

The terrifying scene was akin to a natural disaster, beyond what they could withstand.

Once the fortress is built, its larger purpose will be to serve as an eye in the East Sea Realm, providing timely updates on enemy movements.

After chatting for a bit, Chicken Feather Gall kept glancing at Han Yu’s hand, which was not surprising, as Han Yu was holding onto someone while conversing.

It looked peculiarly strange however you glanced at it.

"Who is this?"

He asked bravely.

"You mean this?"

Han Yu raised his hand, bringing the soul-snatcher in front of him, and Chicken Feather Gall matched its gaze, being jolted by its sorrowful face.

"This is the local specialty I brought back for Quan Xiaotong, Yama Hall’s Nine. Please help me contact him."

Specialty... Chicken Feather Gall was first shocked by Han Yu’s mention of specialty, nonetheless he was almost scared to death by the end.

Yama Hall!

...

Receiving the urgent confidential message from Sea Stone City, Quan Xiaotong slapped the table in astonishment, almost frightening Ling Wuce.

He then uttered words of extreme delight.

"Han Yu is not dead! He’s back!"

Ling Wuce, hearing this, had his old face immediately relaxed, smiling broadly, "I said misfortune lingers for a thousand years, that kid won’t die so easily."

"He brought me a gift, you help me prepare a return gift for him."

Quan Xiaotong kept talking as he quickly sat down and began to write furiously.

It seemed he was about to write another secret message to Han Yu. Ling Wuce curiously tried to lean over and take a look, but just as he poked his head out, the message was already completed.

"What exactly did he send you, all mysterious and secretive?"

Unable to contain his curiosity, Ling Wuce asked.

Quan Xiaotong grinned widely, "A local specialty ranked ninth in the Yama Hall."

Ling Wuce was stunned. Goodness, wasn’t he captured? Not only did he escape, but also managed to grab another one on his way out.

Now he was absolutely impressed by Han Yu, completely convinced, as he still managed to achieve such bizarre things.

Before leaving, Quan Xiaotong stopped him again to remind, "Take the person directly to the prepared location this time."

Ling Wuce nodded, having learned from the last time, they naturally wouldn’t be unprepared again. At least now, if they capture someone similar to the Yama Hall people, they won’t be clueless with no place to settle them.

While waiting for a reply, Han Yu amusingly went to the mountain ditch for a look. At this moment, the massive body of the Wood Spirit was sprawled in the valley, with dozens of cultivators from the Hundred Herbs Bureau bustling around.

After watching for a short while, Han Yu concluded it was all for nothing!

As the Hundred Herbs Bureau could heal people just fine, but treating trees was really beyond their grasp.

So, although they appeared busy, the actual results were quite negligible.

The Wood Spirit quickly spotted him, and soon approached him with Qing Wan.

"Yipee!"

"Aren’t you supposed to be doomed?"

The little deer’s call was crisp, Qing Wan’s voice was like a nightingale, but their words were particularly unpleasant.

What do you mean by doomed?

Han Yu glanced darkly at the Wood Spirit’s body, with only a few remaining leaves, grabbed a few leaves and treated it like divination; did the Celestial Secret Tower know you were this impressive?

"I’m not going to stoop to arguing with beasts... Beast Spirit."

The Artifact Spirit laughed wildly while insincerely trying to comfort, which only made things worse.

Han Yu rolled his eyes at the human and spirit duo, exchanged a few idle words, and slipped away.

This Wood Spirit never said anything nice, taking advantage of the fact that he couldn’t understand.

Qing Wan could translate, but translating it made him uncomfortable.

By evening, a Celestial Wave Crossing spanned the void and arrived.

Ling Wuce, wearing a joyful expression, descended quickly from it; his relationship with Han Yu was naturally deep, and he was genuinely glad Han Yu was safe.

Han Yu was also genuinely pleased to see him again, especially seeing Ling Wuce’s current pomp during his outing, genuinely happy for him.

"You seem to be having a good life now, even traveling with a Celestial Wave Crossing."

It must be noted, Ling Wuce’s journey was supposed to be as impoverished as possible.

Upon hearing this, Ling Wuce’s face instantly darkened.

Han Yu’s words were like a punch to his lung, this was by no means his travel style.

This... this was darn well the style of escorting a soul-snatching, his life hadn’t improved at all.

"Here!"

Han Yu, as if presenting a gift, handed the person over, making Ling Wuce unsure whether to accept or not.

Was it embarrassment?

Ling Wuce, with a peculiar expression, asked first, "Is it safe?"

"Absolutely safe, I’ve chopped him into an ordinary person. If you’re really worried, I can stab him a few more times."

Han Yu chuckled as he spoke, even truly planning to take action, but Ling Wuce hurriedly intervened, this condition was just right, just right.

"Ordinary person is good, ordinary person is just fine."

He dared not let Han Yu take further action; who knew what kind of ability he had, and after a few more stabbings, what would become of him.

"By the way, that Quan guy said he’d give you a gift in return."

After taking over the person, Ling Wuce beckoned.

Twenty-two figures quickly landed, two of them escorting the soul-snatching back up, leaving the remaining twenty.

No need for explanation; judging from the response in the sea of consciousness by the Artifact Spirit, it’s clear these are the so-called Qi Fortune Children; didn’t you see this fellow starting to dance around again!

Then Ling Wuce pulled out a letter and handed it to him, the old rule, it was another letter just for him.

However, this time Ling Wuce didn’t have the mind to stick around and sneak a peek as usual.

Without waiting for Han Yu to unseal the letter, he hurriedly said, "I need to arrange for the people first, so I can’t stay long, we’ll have to catch up next time, be careful with everything."

Han Yu nodded solemnly, "Take care."

Once the Celestial Wave Crossing was once again out of sight, Han Yu slowly unfolded the letter, and upon glancing at it, his expression turned dark...
