Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

This guy’s mentality is really lousy.

The Luoxia Sect Leader swallowed the pill and immediately gave rise to a heart demon. It was terrifying. After barely suppressing it, he still wanted more pills. But when Han Yu took out the pill, the demon emerged again.

The blood gushed out as if it was free, pouring uncontrollably.

At this rate, he probably won’t survive the day!

Without a word, Han Yu slipped away, not expecting the guy to panic when he saw Han Yu leaving, which stirred up the demon again, ending with another spray of blood.

After rushing back to Dongyi City, Han Yu headed straight to the Government Office, intending to get a map from Huangfu Liang and find another sect.

Unexpectedly, Huangfu Liang was also looking for him, and his face was quite grim.

Upon seeing Han Yu, he hurriedly stepped forward, speaking in urgency.

”That kid Ou Mingdong was almost killed!”

Ou Mingdong attacked?

Han Yu was first stunned. The White Emperor City had just been hit with a disaster not long ago, and now it’s Ou Mingdong’s turn?

”Take a look at this first, from the Inspectorate.”

Huangfu Liang handed over a secret message, and upon opening it, Han Yu discovered it was a letter written by Gao Feng of the Ascension Tower.

Dragon Blood Stone!

It was actually about the Dragon Blood Stone.

The letter roughly described the attack on Ou Mingdong and the assailant’s intentions, with Gao Feng warning him at the end to be careful.

Unexpectedly, even though the Inspectorate wasn’t aware that Ou Mingdong had the Dragon Blood Stone, the opposition not only knew ahead of time but also acted immediately.

If you consider what happened with Huangfu Liang’s senior brother, the Inspectorate suspects it’s the same group.

They clearly intend to claim all the Dragon Blood Stones, with Quan Xiaotong suspecting that Han Yu must have some too, making him potentially the next target.

After reading the letter, Han Yu’s expression was quite ugly, and Huangfu Liang felt the same.

Because Ou Mingdong’s Divine Spring was destroyed...

Huangfu Liang went pale at the thought, realizing the danger they all faced if the Dragon Blood Stone hadn’t been taken by his senior brother.

Blessings and disasters are intertwined, indeed true words.

”I need to make a trip to the White Emperor City.”

Han Yu said with a cold face, knowing that without the Divine Spring, Ou Mingdong was finished for life. Only the pill from Ping could save him, and even that was uncertain unless Ping gave a Healing Pill sometime soon.

”I’ll go with you.”

Huangfu Liang wanted to accompany him. When Zhanzhou was attacked, his relationship with Ou Mingdong was as tight as anyone’s.

-----------------

”That kid has replied.”

Gao Feng walked briskly into the Ascension Tower, speaking to Quan Xiaotong, who was busy writing.

Quan Xiaotong closed the scroll with curiosity, wondering what the reply was this time.

The two leaned together and unfolded the secret letter, their expressions turning a bit odd. Was the kid going back to White Emperor City?

”He wants us to help spread word about the Dragon Blood Stone. Your guess was right; he really does have a piece.”

Gao Feng considered it for a moment, realizing the kid intends to avenge Ou Mingdong by setting bait.

”Help or not?”

He looked up and asked Quan Xiaotong.

”Help!”

Quan Xiaotong’s gaze fell on the three pills provided by Han Yu as he spoke decisively.

This concerns the Inspectorate, and even if Han Yu hadn’t asked, they wouldn’t sit idly by, not to mention now that Ou Mingdong, a guardian of the state, is publicly incapacitated.

If someone assaults court guardians, the court is bound to respond with the harshest retribution.

Otherwise, how can they establish authority in the future?

”Elder Gao, circulate these three pills. Find three young daredevils willing to take them, and have Vice Tower Master Ling make another trip.”

Quan Xiaotong handed back the secret message with instructions.

”As for Han Yu’s request, let the dark scouts in White Emperor City release the info first.”

The Inspectorate’s communication network is extremely swift; spreading news is what they do best.

-----------------

A flying shuttle transformed into a streak of light that landed outside White Emperor City, skidding dangerously before coming to a stop at the newly repaired city gate.

It caused a chaotic scene with the city guards swarming in, weapons raised, nearly ready to act.

White Emperor City was under martial law, any minor disturbance would agitate the nerves of these guards, especially with someone charging in recklessly.

Fortunately, the first figure to jump down was recognized, Han Yu.

Next was Huangfu Liang, whose face was pale with regret. He shouldn’t have told Han Yu about the flying shuttle in the Government Office.

He only learned after he officially assumed his post that almost every Government Office was equipped with one. Their speed made them valuable to the Inspectorate, aside from the Mo Family members…

Throughout the trip, Han Yu, a first-time shuttle pilot, pushed the speed to the limit, making for a turbulent journey. They were indeed fortunate to survive.

”Mr. Han!”

The guards saluted urgently, recognizing the man who wasn’t just connected with the Guardian but also held significant ties with the Inspectorate, deserving their full respect.

”Where is Ou Mingdong?”

Han Yu nodded in acknowledgment and asked eagerly.

The guards sighed, then one stepped forward to lead them.

Since being injured, Ou Mingdong hadn’t left the Government Office; now...

They were led into the city, arriving at an inner chamber where a strong medicinal smell pervaded the air from one of the rooms.

Pushing the door open revealed a figure wrapped head to toe in bandages lying quietly on the bed, turning slowly at the sound to reveal a face full of despair.

Ou Mingdong looked as though he had aged decades, and the aura of death was particularly strong. His face showed none of its former charisma, only a sense of bleakness clouded his eyes.

Upon seeing them, his eyes flickered with a touch of emotion before dimming again.

”You’ve come.”

His voice was hoarse, unable to move his body, he nodded for them to sit.

Han Yu frowned deeply, scrutinizing the state of him, filling with rage. It wasn’t just the Divine Spring that was destroyed; the whole person seemed ruined.

Huangfu Liang sympathetically stepped forward, gripping the other’s hand, equally furious, teeth gritted, ”Which bastard did this?”

”I couldn’t see.”

Ou Mingdong shook his head. Although his cultivation wasn’t supreme, it wasn’t low, yet he was restrained before even a glance. It was unbelievable.

”Why did they destroy your Divine Spring?” Han Yu asked with a frown.

Ou Mingdong laughed bitterly, ”Because I couldn’t produce the Dragon Blood Stone.”

When restrained, the enemy demanded the Dragon Blood Stone, but he didn’t have it. Not on him, nor in the Government Office.

He had entrusted the stone to his senior, Ye Hei, long ago when he was assigned to White Emperor City, knowing that without strength, it was a Death Charm to carry it.

But the opponents didn’t believe him, first destroying his Divine Spring, then interrogating him.

With no results, they destroyed his body in anger.

”If the city patrol guards hadn’t noticed something strange and fired a signal to scare them off, I wouldn’t have survived.”

At the end, Ou Mingdong managed a bitter smile, ”Though now, I’m not much better than dead.”

With the Divine Spring ruined, his cultivation path was cut off.

With his body destroyed, he couldn’t even live as an ordinary person.

The attack was brutal; his meridians were shattered, he couldn’t wield a magical artifact, nor even raise an arm.

Han Yu took a deep breath and stood slowly, ”Your injuries can be healed, give me time. Your revenge comes first.”

”You know his pills work, rest and recover.” Huangfu Liang consoled gently.

”Can you really heal my junior brother?”

A voice full of emotion came from behind, as a figure entered the room.
