CHAPTER 630: CHAPTER 629 YUN QI YUN SHU

Hu Jun hurriedly made arrangements, and from afar, he heard sounds of battle by the lake, which filled his heart with joy—With the Void Hunter’s strength, it was enough for the humans to have a hard time!

Once he completely wiped out his old adversary, there would be plenty of corpses left to turn into medicine pills. Meanwhile, he could delay by citing excuses like harvesting Spirit Stones or setting up Arrays until there were enough pills.

Then, those willing to follow me will move to the new world together.

As for those fools hiding in the secret passage, they’re hopeless cases. Let them fend for themselves. As long as they don’t mess up my big plans, I can’t be bothered with them.

"We have to be prepared for long-term battles. As soon as we reach the new world, we must immediately seek information about low-level worlds. Places similar to the one we first came from would be perfect, where most are mortals, and only one in ten thousand are exalted cultivators.

As long as we don’t create too much commotion or provoke those we shouldn’t, almost no one will notice us. By then, we can once again become the noble Snow Mountain Foxes!"

Casually painting a grand picture, Hu Jun added a reminder, "Make sure to keep an eye on those in the secret passage, don’t let them ruin our plans."

"Ah! Just lock the entrance to the underground palace, there’s no way they can get out."

"No way!" Hu Zhili replied sternly, "My son is still inside. Besides, locking it would waste time if we need to retreat urgently. Keeping it as is works just fine."

Hu Jun glanced at him, disapproving of that little fox cub who only cries and calls for "father" when trouble comes. He couldn’t understand why he liked such a weak child.

But Hu Zhili’s Curse Techniques were very useful. Though there was always a cost to casting them, the effects were unmistakable.

Years ago, when his wife and daughter were tortured and killed over a lover’s jealousy, and Hu Zhili was shackled and mining in a cave, he cursed immediately upon learning of it. Within a few days, the arrogant Sect Leader of Kuanglang Sect, who had high cultivation and many tricks, suddenly died.

Hu Jun thought, since the price is something he bears, it’s none of my business. Such a deadly weapon is not to be wasted.

"We can’t lock it for now." He stated, "Don’t forget that Hu Da’an is still making more medicine pills for us. Locking it now would easily spark conflicts and cause trouble. We’ll host the Void Hunter in the West Great Hall once he returns victorious."

As soon as he finished speaking, he sensed those two flying towards him at great speed and hurriedly called out, "Quick, quick, quick! Go to the West Great Hall and wait quietly. I’ll meet them! Remember, if you can avoid speaking, don’t say anything. Don’t let that sharp-tongued girl catch on to anything."

"Friend, you really are formidable. Did you defeat those strange beings so quickly?" Hu Jun darted out with a "whoosh", asking with a loud laugh.

Jiang Yuan waved impatiently, "Bad luck! Those creatures were too cunning. After I slayed a few, just like those in the dense forest earlier, they all rushed into the secret passage under the lake and disappeared.

I didn’t sense any strange aura nearby, so I came over to rest first and inquire with your tribe about the strange occurrences. Having fought for so many years, you must know more than I would blindly searching everywhere."

Hu Zhile rolled his eyes, retorting coldly, "Friend Hu, you don’t know how hard it is to kill those strange beings? You expect my master to wipe out what you couldn’t deal with for years in such a short time? You’re daydreaming?"

"Hehehe, I was too impatient. Friend, please come to the West Great Hall to rest. I’ve summoned some clansmen holding the front line back. Let’s discuss thoroughly how to rid ourselves of these strange beings. Once this security risk is gone, we can retreat peacefully." Hu Jun smirked, thinking if I didn’t need your master, I’d have ripped your tongue out by now!

As soon as they entered the West Great Hall, Jiang Yuan saw six fox demons awaiting.

The enormous red characters "Hu Zhili" displayed above the second fox demon’s head made his eyes light up; the old fox had finally appeared!

Even among the beautiful fox demons, Hu Zhili, who had also taken medicine pills to conceal his aura, stood out with his striking presence. Tall, broad-shouldered with a narrow waist, a sharply defined slim face, a high and well-featured nose, and deep, narrow eyes, he exuded a cool, mysterious aura.

Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but marvel internally, no wonder Hu Zhile and Hu Jiu were such beauties, with parents so distinguished in appearance, their genetics were bound to be excellent, and even if they didn’t grow perfectly, they wouldn’t stray far.

"Hiss!" As Jiang Yuan’s eyes lit up, Hu Zhili’s pupils constricted, and he gasped!

This pair, as the Ninth Elder mentioned, were the Void Hunter and his maid. Why does the maid look so... his mind flashed back to images from years ago, his eyes narrowing as he secretly activated the Blood Curse.

However, without any noticeable reaction from them, he found that the curse was still active, continuously absorbing the maid’s Life Energy and enhancing his Spirit Root.

"Did I mistake it? Do they just look alike?" The evidence in front of him made Hu Zhili doubt.

The Blood Curse was one of the most sinister and straightforward techniques he had learned. As long as there was a blood relation, it could be easily cast, and the only way to break it was to kill the caster.

Even casting from Otherworlds remained effective as long as the bloodline connection was intact. No one cursed could stand so calmly before him, even curiously scanning around.

"Kuanglang Sect Xizhao Hall..." Naturally, Hu Zhile recognized the man at a glance, his eyes showing no ripples as they swept past. He couldn’t help but feel like laughing at what was about to happen.

But not yet. When the truth is revealed, only then can I indulge in a hearty, raucous laugh!

So she made conversation by looking at the characters on the tablet and casually asked, "You live in the great hall of the Wild Waves Sect, where have all the cultivators of the sect gone?"

Hu Zhili was even more uncertain for a moment, the other’s gaze towards him did indeed seem like she was looking at a stranger... Could it really just be someone who looks alike? But they look too alike!

Back then, the third daughter Hu Zhile was still young, yet her appearance and personality were almost identical to the big sister he detested most, which was also the eldest aunt of the children—A face he loathed and a personality that made him sick.

Had it not been for her good talent in cultivation with fast speed, promising future usefulness, Hu Zhili might’ve even harbored a murderous intent to make that unpleasant face disappear forever!

He was so shocked that when Hu Jun warmly invited the two to sit and chat about anything, he didn’t hear a word and just kept staring intently at that hated face, secretly gritting his teeth.

So, when Hu Zhili heard the Ninth Elder ask them to discuss the "strange situation," he gave a courteous nod and with a shallow smile asked, "May I ask the young lady’s name?"

"My surname is Bai." Hu Zhile smiled with her eyes as she performed her act, "My name is Bai Yunshu, and I have a twin brother named Bai Yunqi, we both serve under the Master."

Bai Yunqi, Bai Yunshu?

Jiang Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly thinking that they were surprisingly pleasant names, the big fox sure could lie easily, she matched her name Yunshu with Xiao Bai to become siblings.

"Yunqi Yunshu, indeed good names, just as unforgettable as the young lady’s appearance." Hu Zhili praised half-heartedly, completely giving up his prior shocked thoughts.

Master?

Ha! That stubborn little girl saying the word "Master"? Dream on!

This similar face brought back not so good memories from back then, Hu Zhili’s eyes filled with coldness, it really was like a lingering shadow.

The big sister from back then, after she died, his wife gave birth to the third daughter, now wandering in the void, yet he can meet an extremely similar face.

For a moment, Hu Zhili even wondered weren’t cultivators supposed to vanish without an afterlife?

Why does he keep encountering the same face again and again, always at his lowest, as if she intentionally came to watch a joke!

"How should I describe it to you, the world I live in..." Jiang Yuan was idly responding to the questions, trying to delay time so the humans’ strange abilities could find the secret passage successfully, then they could complete their task and claim their reward.

But how should he fabricate it?

"Oh come on, why not see it for yourselves?" He was too lazy to make up, casually saying, "The spiritual energy is abundant, innumerable demon beasts, and rich in resources, naturally the competition is quite intense. You’ll understand once you arrive, settling down in a city quietly cultivating, starting a new life is fairly easy."

Upon hearing "see for yourselves," Hu Jun excitedly gulped down saliva, cautiously asking, "When does the Taoist friend plan to introduce us to the world you live in? To be frank, we’ve wandered too long in the void, drained from fighting the strange ones, we desperately need a safe and peaceful world to rest and recuperate."

Jiang Yuan glanced at Hu Zhile.

She nodded smilingly taking over the conversation, "My master is kind-hearted, having taken over your spirit stone mine couldn’t bear seeing you entangled with the strange ones here, given it’s too dangerous, always at risk of contamination.

Therefore, once my master has recovered and leaves, you may follow us, but..."

Hu Zhile purposely bought a suspense, glancing at the seven fox demons oddly, pretending to struggle, she sighed, "My master’s vessel for crossing the void is an Immortal Shuttle."

She described it according to her experience aboard Yin Mountain Lady’s Immortal Shuttle, "Safe and fast while leaping through the void, even if distant one can arrive within a few days.

The issue is the Immortal Shuttle has limited capacity, my brother Bai Yunqi didn’t accompany us this time, saving a spot. Yet even so, only three more can travel back and forth, you must... decide quickly who leaves first and who stays waiting.

Try making the decision fast, earlier I noticed the remnants of this world drifting at an increasing speed, uncertain if the Ghost Realm is drawing it. Even if not, at this speed drifting aimlessly, we worry it’ll be hard to locate here next time."

"Ghost Realm?!" Hu Jun couldn’t help but shiver inwardly.

The eerie crisis on this land originated from drifting close to the Ghost Realm, human cultivators exerted their full strength to resist to avoid being sucked in, giving the fox demon tribe a chance to successfully retaliate.

At that time, he merely thought the human cultivators exaggerated to deceive the tribe, not taking it seriously, as the land skirted near the Ghost Realm without falling in, though he experienced it, he had no experience.

Now hearing from the experienced Void Hunter saying the land fragments are accelerating, he felt scared, having finally seen hope for escape, he must seize it! At any cost, seize it!
