Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Chapter 367: Chapter 309: The Timid Monster

Survival is the most basic and powerful instinct of an individual, even if the two souls and seven souls are lost, this instinct remains deeply rooted within the body.

Therefore, the separation process of the life soul appears particularly slow.

You Li’s entire body resists this process, even though she’s already unconscious, the True Essence that was utterly suppressed starts to fight back at this moment.

A phantom flickers on and off, constantly being pushed out from her body only to be pulled back again.

The forces on both sides are in a constant tug of war...

From the distance, a shadow gradually pokes its head out, with a chunk of slime extending cautiously to observe the surroundings, the scarlet glow continuously emanating from You Li kindles a desire to plunder within it.

Amid the tug of war between the two forces inside You Li, the Ox was slowly pulled away from the shadows by the divine power monster, gradually revealing itself.

She continuously walked toward You Li, one hand already stretching forward.

Bang!

A white dragon instantly danced down, tightly coiling around her.

Han Yu!

The monster immediately emitted a sharp screech. It was too familiar with this power, the unpleasant memories from the Earth Palace causing it to abhor it greatly.

When Han Yu arrived, similarly, unpleasant memories surged in his heart.

Is it this damned thing again?

And this face, too, is very familiar!

The bloated face of the Ox vaguely resembled its former appearance.

One was the troublemaker from back then, the other a monster he’d killed several times. With these two now together, Han Yu didn’t hesitate to deliver a fatal blow.

Amid the flames, the Ox let the white fire devour it, its stiff hands constantly emitting black threads that climbed towards You Li’s face.

Shit!

In a hurry, Han Yu dove down immediately.

The divine power monster was even more desperate, directly abandoning the Ox’s host body, and pounced entirely onto You Li’s face.

Under its frantic squirming, the monster’s tentacles stretched into all of You Li’s eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

At the moment Han Yu reached out, he fiercely grabbed at her face, tearing off half of the monster’s body, but it was too late, he could only watch helplessly as the other half receded back into You Li’s body.

Damn it, this one has the right flavor, sneaky and cowardly, much stronger than the foolish split bodies in the city before.

Flames burning in his hand, he angrily burned the split-out half of the monster into ash.

Snap!

After being possessed by the divine power monster, You Li’s pained expression vanished instantly, and she toppled over.

When the four figures arrived, the Ox had already burned to ashes, leaving only Han Yu standing there with an unpleasant expression.

A soul followed behind the Nanli Grand Elder, another followed closely behind the Fourth Elder, while the other two elders were dragging the Seven-headed Giant Ape.

Once everyone was settled, they hurriedly gathered around.

”What happened here?”

The Nanli Grand Elder looked at You Li collapsed on the ground, her aura strangely peculiar.

To describe it, You Li’s body at this moment was extremely bustling inside, with three energies contending with each other.

Han Yu glanced at the elders, sighed, and spoke.

”There’s good news and bad news now.”

The good news is, under the contention of three energies, You Li’s life soul won’t be thrown out again.

The bad news... the divine power monster has entered her body.

This thing, they all saw it back in Nanling City, the consequences of being infested by the monster need no further explanation.

...

Nanli Sword Studio.

It’s the first time Han Yu met the helmsman among the Nine Sects, a man no older than sixty, with white hair and a youthful face, his cultivation also had reached the Realm of Transcendence.

Dressed in Daoist attire, his demeanor was calm and unhurried, yet the occasional reveal of sword intent was equally terrifying.

Xia Wuyou, the current Sect Leader of Nanli Sword Studio, should be considered the strongest in Sword Dao among the Nine Sects.

Han Yu glanced hurriedly, vaguely feeling an intuition, a gut feeling that the other party was very strong.

”I don’t want what you think, I want what I think.”

Glass chimed in at this moment.

”Don’t mess around, we’re handling serious business! Go pick your toenails somewhere else.”

Han Yu replied irritably in the Sea of Consciousness, but the next sentence from Glass almost made him dumbfounded.

”He possesses innate divine techniques, a metal divine power, comparable to yours.”

Not weaker than me? Doesn’t that mean his divine power tier has also reached the level of divine communication?

This is truly the first time I’ve encountered a talent divine power user whose cultivation is profound and whose divine skill is seamlessly maintained.

”There are always those in this world whose innate talents make you feel despair just from hearing about them, and make you never want to look again after seeing them.”

Glass sighed with emotion.

”Since we’ve crossed paths, it’s fate. I’ve decided to give him the greatest help...”

Just as it was rambling on, Han Yu quickly interrupted.

If you want to refine pills, just say so. Don’t beat around the bush.

Besides, that’s not even the main point. The main point is, with the level of power he has, does he really need your West River Pill?

”Forget about refining pills. I don’t want to prepare for a funeral.”

Han Yu quickly exited the sea of consciousness, stopping its dangerous thought.

By this time, Little Garden was already surrounded by a crowd, and aside from Xia Wuyou, all twelve elders of the sect were present.

As the person most familiar with divine monsters, Han Yu was inevitably invited here.

Of course, You Li was also a member of the Self-Improvement Sect; Han Yu couldn’t possibly just watch her die without helping.

Unfortunately, not wanting to watch someone die doesn’t mean there’s a way to save them.

After Han Yu detailed the origins of the monster and the events at the start of the Earth Palace, the group was silent.

There’s no way, absolutely no way.

Setting aside the monster’s ability to split and go invisible, it also has the power to devour energy.

Several elders didn’t believe and tried pouring in spiritual power to drive it away, but the spiritual power entered the meridians and disappeared without a trace, like mud into the sea.

Even when Xia Wuyou personally acted, the spiritual power imbued with murderous sword intent barely entered the meridians before she had to stop with a grim expression.

”This monster can’t be completely killed.”

Just as Han Yu said, under the rush of his sword intent and spiritual power, the monster was split apart, but rather than clearing it out, the more they attacked, the more it multiplied, clogging You Li’s meridians completely.

Moreover, the monster wasn’t stupid. Knowing that a large group of transcendent realm cultivators outside were ready to deal with it, it never revealed itself, instead quietly lying low inside You Li and devouring energy.

At this point, unless You Li is killed along with it, there’s no way to drive it away without harming the person.

”Right now, the primary concern isn’t driving it away, but saving her life.”

The Great Elder looked grim. This Little Garden still held two souls and seven spirits; these things were like death charms. If not resolved soon, life would still be lost.

”It’s not just that. The monster also devours flesh and blood. If it takes too long and both sources of energy are completely consumed by the monster, then it’ll turn to devouring You Li’s body next.”

The Fourth Elder, who had participated in the Nanling City roundup, had witnessed firsthand the monster absorb someone’s essence.

It’s fair to say that You Li is still fine simply because the monster is too busy, greedily focusing on her true essence and the energy of the Dragon Blood Stone for now.

But if this drags on, it really will be fatal.

Xia Wuyou quietly pondered, then looked up at Han Yu and spoke in a muffled voice, ”You’re Han Yu?”

Han Yu’s reputation in the Cultivator Realm wasn’t small. Ever since someone leaked details from the Inspectorate, he frequently stirred up trouble, making it hard for any sect leader to be unaware of him.

”You Li is my disciple. It’s rumored your pills have all kinds of miraculous effects. Here’s my suggestion: if you can save my disciple, you name your terms.”

Xia Wuyou’s bold offer startled Han Yu; he had only recently learned of You Li’s strong background.

He didn’t know that for the sect leader and elders to assemble like this, You Li was not merely the disciple of a sect leader. As a contemporary Sword Attendant, also known as the Saintess, she was likely the next-in-line sect leader, barring any surprise.

”Save her, save her!”

The Artifact Spirit reacted first, excited at the idea that if they saved her, perhaps a West River Pill would be a reasonable reward?

Han Yu complexly smiled; it seemed the sect leader had heard of him, but didn’t know much about him.

Regarding pills, it’s always about what he has and others eat; never about others wanting something and him providing it.

It’s simply too difficult for him.

”To be honest, You Li is also a friend of mine. If I could save her, she wouldn’t need to be carried back here.”

Han Yu shook his head, explaining helplessly.

This was the truth. If he could resolve it, he’d long have crushed the divine monster to dust.

During their conversation, a female disciple urgently shouted from inside You Li’s room.

The door swung open, and a frightened female disciple rushed out, with a clawing, scrambling creature following her.

”A monster just emerged from Senior Sister’s body.”

The female disciple shouted urgently.
