Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Sun Bing emerged from the chrysalis at dawn, greeted by a large crowd standing outside watching.

There was no such thing as emerging as a butterfly, only a staggered figure stumbling out.

Sun Bing grimaced as he spoke. After forming a chrysalis, he was trapped inside, this damnable silk line tying him up in the final step, leaving him unable to do anything but cultivate.

”Can’t break free?”

The speaker was none other than Ou Mingdong, his ”troublesome” master, who had now ”grown up”.

The Great Elder curiously approached to look at the separated cocoon shell, which didn’t seem very sturdy and could be easily broken from the outside.

”It’s not these silk-like things that trapped me.”

Sun Bing found it difficult to explain clearly to them, especially the state of being inside the cocoon.

He simply said that he couldn’t move his own body and could only cultivate like this.

That’s exactly what he did; after finishing his cultivation, the cocoon would break open on its own.

Han Yu listened with a slight grin, it truly was a case of binding oneself, making no distinction between young and old!

”You don’t intend to continue distributing Pills all over the place, do you?”

Before leaving with his men, Che Dapao asked Han Yu curiously.

After the commotion caused by the Corpse Refining Lineage, although it was unclear what intentions the Corpse Refining Lineage had for the lives of these cultivators, it certainly wouldn’t be anything good.

Once is enough, who knows if the impact caused by Han Yu won’t be exploited by others again.

”If they fall for it again, then those people truly deserve to die.”

The Great Elder still held a grudge against this group of cultivators from before; they were a ragtag bunch who fell into chaos when the time came. Otherwise, they could have significantly reduced casualties by cooperating well with the Nine Sects disciples.

”Regarding the Corpse Refining Lineage, let’s check the records once we return and see if we can find any clues.”

The Great Elder then spoke solemnly to Che Dapao.

The issue of the Corpse Refining Lineage was unavoidable, not just for the Imperial Court but also for the Nine Sects.

The Nine Sects might be the party with the deepest ties, as they were involved in the initial eradication of the group even before the new dynasty.

Whether or not the group was exterminated in the past, the enmity with the Nine Sects was the greatest.

Hearing that his master was returning, Ou Mingdong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continuously cupped his fists.

”Then I’ll return to White Emperor City and continue my duties as the Guardian.”

Now, he no longer perceived the role of White Emperor City Guardian as a tough job, especially compared to changing diapers for a swaddled master every day.

”I’ll be heading back too. Take a detour someday and visit me at the Mo Family.”

His cousin sighed, knowing that his granduncle wouldn’t let him roam freely, especially after the appearance of the Corpse Refining Lineage.

”Don’t forget your agreement with the Fifth Tower; if needed in the future, feel free to seek help from the Fifth Tower.”

Che Dapao spoke solemnly, knowing that Han Yu would likely need Pills often in the future, so he wasn’t shy about showing goodwill.

Once everyone left, silence enveloped the place as Han Yu stood amidst the ruins. The sight of Dongling City was now completely ruined, a terrifying silence...

”I’m fucking better off dead!”

Qi Bai tore apart a capture order with a roar.

Ox leisurely half-reclined on an As You Wish in mid-air, her snow-white legs crossed, flying unhurriedly. Her enigmatic Miaojiang attire, mingling black and white, added a unique charm, with the above-knee skirt adding an unusual allure.

She followed Qi Bai cheerfully, watching him exhaust himself chasing after the various cultivators listed on the capture orders.

Since leaving Dongling City, Qi Bai acted like a madman, causing trouble for these people everywhere.

Currently, Qi Bai had already bothered three cultivators in succession, and amusingly, his approach of only capturing and not killing made her laugh until she cried.

”So, are you planning to hand them over to the government?”

Sensing the mocking tone in Ox’s voice, Qi Bai’s face flushed with anger, yet he was helpless as he slapped the captured cultivator into unconsciousness before binding them.

”Why are you following me instead of returning to report?”

”The Blood Spirit collection is already complete, and they’re waiting. You wouldn’t want the Judge to personally seek you out, would you?”

Qi Bai retorted sarcastically, and upon hearing him, Ox’s smile faded, seemingly wary of the so-called ”Judge”.

Suddenly, Ox waved her pale hand, and a flag passed by Qi Bai, causing a blood glow to vanish as the unfortunate captured cultivator died.

Qi Bai’s expression turned dark instantly. He didn’t care if the cultivator lived or died, but now the previously stable merit within him suddenly became restless again.

Damn! Son of a bitch, I didn’t kill the person, yet you’re deducting my merit?

Ox detected an amusing anomaly on his face and immediately laughed cheerfully again.

”If you provoke me again, for every one you catch, I’ll kill one. Let’s see how much you can take.”

”Can’t you just leave first?”

Qi Bai was so frustrated he nearly ground his teeth to dust, fully believing she would actually do such a thing if provoked, thus he could only plead humbly.

”No!”

Ox shook her snow-white legs, smiling leisurely and said.

”If you don’t hand over your items, the Judge really will get angry. Even if you’re not afraid, don’t drag me down.”

Seeing this, Qi Bai could only plead softly.

”It’s not that simple.”

After finishing, Ox suddenly jumped down, summoned a flag, and with a gentle hook of her small hand, a red mass flowed from the banner into the mouth of the dead cultivator. She then took out a red Pill.

After the Pill was ingested, the previously deceased cultivator suddenly opened his eyes and stood up, woodenly facing Ox.

”You’re wasting a Pill on such a worthless person?”

Qi Bai frowned tightly, utterly confused by her actions.

Ox snickered, ”I can make this thing again if it’s gone. What’s the big deal.”

Actually, she didn’t want to meet the Judge either; it would be better to refine a Blood Corpse to go in her place.

After summoning a pile of flags, Ox refined them and embedded them all into the corpse.

Imagining the Judge pulling these things out bloodily from the Blood Corpse later, Qi Bai’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

”Are you trying to disgust him?”

Ox snorted, rising up, and continued to recline on As You Wish. With a wave of her hand, the corpse moved on its own, quickly vanishing from their sight.

”Even if you can’t stand him lording over you and don’t want to go back, you don’t have to follow me!”

Qi Bai spoke with a wry smile; he really didn’t want this guy tagging along.

”I’m very interested in the Pills you consumed. You continue your work, and I’ll follow to observe.”

Using merit to heal injuries, Ox was extremely curious about how the other party did it. According to Qi Bai, there were also Pills that could extend life by decades, which was simply unheard of.

As pharmacists, how did the other party manage to refine such bizarre things?

Ox was genuinely extremely curious about Han Yu.

”You better not be curious about him, that’s how White Impermanence got trapped.”

Qi Bai spoke with a hint of warning. Bai Bufen’s situation was no secret to them; it wasn’t entirely undeserved, the fool should have the awareness of a fool, yet he thought himself clever.

Ox smiled sweetly, her pretty eyes glanced playfully at the other.

”Are you jealous, afraid I’ll fancy him?”

Qi Bai’s face looked as if he had swallowed a fly, and he blurted out without thinking.

”Bullshit! Don’t think I don’t know you’re a man...”

As soon as the words fell, the air instantly froze, and Qi Bai’s face changed instantly, realizing he’d misspoken.

Oh no!

Ox on As You Wish was now deep as water, the surrounding space chilling and biting.

”Who told you that?”

”The... the Judge mentioned it inadvertently.”

Qi Bai quickly spoke with some trepidation.

”Good! Very good!”

Ox grind her teeth audibly before suddenly leaping up. She extended her hands in a gesture, quickly clouding the sky.

Spring Wind and Rain!

The biting cold wind blew, and countless raindrops fell like sharp blades.

Qi Bai’s face changed, he enveloped himself in black mist and moved away, leaving behind a spot riddled with small holes.

He appeared in another location, still feeling fearful.

”You...”

Before he could finish, he felt a sudden sharp pain all over his body. Unbeknownst to him, a gray mist had already enveloped him.

”Ghost fog!”

Qi Bai was so frightened his face turned pale, his form shifting locations repeatedly as he frantically stripped off his outer garments, as if they were coated with something terrifying.

The moment the outer clothing was cast away, it turned to ashes before hitting the ground, all silently.

Such a bizarre method was truly terrifying!

Qi Bai kept flying backward, his mouth repeatedly pleading, ”It’s not me who said it, it was the Judge.”

”Bastard, slandering me!”

Ox resentfully withdrew her hand and returned to As You Wish.

”Lië!”

A strange screech suddenly came from the sky, and both changed expressions.

Qi Bai couldn’t care about his embarrassment and quickly rose to stand before Ox.

A blood-colored eagle held a tube in its mouth and landed on As You Wish.

Ox reached out and took the tube, waving her hand, causing the eagle to soar into the sky and explode.

”Is it the Judge causing trouble?”

Qi Bai’s expression tightened as he asked.

He thought that Ox’s previous actions might have disgusted the other party, prompting them to send a message for trouble.

Ox frowned as she took a letter from the tube, then lifted her eyes to read.

”Don’t worry, it’s not from the Judge.”

Upon hearing this, Qi Bai just breathed a sigh of relief, but Ox’s next words made his heart jump to his throat.

”It’s a letter from King Yama.”

Qi Bai’s face changed as if hearing something terrifying, his whole body trembling slightly.

”Looks like there’s work to be done.”

Ox sighed, shaking her head as she handed over the letter.

Qi Bai carefully took it and first saw three words.

”Dragon Blood Stone!”

Then there was a long list of names...
