Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

The approach of Chicken Feather Gall was indeed quite unexpected. Just after taking over command, he immediately asked,

”My lord, can I do whatever I want?”

”Yes, do whatever you want, just don’t ask me.”

Ling Wuce wasn’t afraid of him making his own decisions, he was afraid of him asking for directions for every little thing, especially when it could trigger side effects at any wrong turn.

With that reassurance, Chicken Feather Gall’s face lit up with excitement. He had been holding back for several days, always afraid to make a move. Now, with Ling Wuce’s backing, he immediately ran off joyously.

Han Yu was still stuck on the phrase ”Don’t hit the child on a rainy day.”

He racked his brain but couldn’t figure out how this had any connection to a disaster.

”How about you drop a couple more hints?”

Unable to figure it out, he couldn’t resist raising his eyebrows at the other person.

Ling Wuce was so scared that he quickly left the Government Office. He had finally dealt with this side effect, and now it was back?

The more you say, the more mistakes you make. Forget hints, he was more afraid that Han Yu would keep dragging him along, making blind guesses and playing him to death.

This time, he learned his lesson thoroughly. From now on, he wouldn’t look at Han Yu again. This guy was an existence that couldn’t even be described as sinister!

The first time he took a pill, just one glance almost cost him ten years of his life; the cost of such reckless behavior was too high.

”What does ’don’t hit the child on a rainy day’ mean?”

Han Yu stood alone in the Government Office, helplessly asking the Artifact Spirit.

”Don’t ask me, on rainy days hit whoever you want.”

The Artifact Spirit rolled its eyes and snorted coldly.

”Could it be referring to hitting the soul fragment?”

Han Yu was stunned for a moment, then quickly guessed.

Meanwhile, Chicken Feather Gall had left the Government Office and quickly assembled a team of Palace Guards.

”You, and you... Forget it, all of you run and notify everyone in Sea Stone City to pack up.”

Chicken Feather Gall placed his hands on his hips and shouted loudly.

”My lord, this stance looks familiar?”

The voice came from that so-called Witty Ghost. Despite his nickname, this guy was actually quite dull-witted, given the nickname by his unscrupulous brothers.

For the questions others didn’t dare ask, they coaxed him into asking.

As soon as he finished asking, he got a playful knock on the forehead from Chicken Feather Gall, ”Nonsense, can’t you see this is the stance for running away?”

Chicken Feather Gall grumbled with displeasure.

”Huh?”

Not only Witty Ghost, but other Palace Guards were also stunned. The Lord Ling was still in the city, but the Guardian Lord was already planning to run away?

Wouldn’t that be suicidal?

”My lord, are you tired of living?”

See, Witty Ghost was quite clever, voicing everyone’s thoughts.

”It’s you who are tired of living. Lord Ling handed over all command rights to me. I can do whatever I want.”

Chicken Feather Gall rolled his eyes at these blockheads and snorted.

Honestly, without Ling Wuce’s words, he wouldn’t have dared to do such a thing.

He hadn’t been able to sleep well these days, afraid that those two terrible cultivators outside would end up fighting here.

He had long wanted to run away with people.

”Are we heading out to sea this time?”

Witty Ghost asked again.

”No, the sea is too dangerous and there’s nothing to eat. Tell the people that this time we’re heading into the mountains.”

After Chicken Feather Gall said this, he dispersed all the Palace Guards.

Han Yu didn’t expect this cowardly Guardian to create such a huge commotion in less than two hours after running out.

Before long, a massive group of thousands of people was indeed assembled by him, heading out of the city.

Such a big commotion naturally alerted Ling Wuce. The two stood at the Government Office entrance, watching as a crowd of Palace Guards flew back and forth maintaining order, leaving them a bit dumbfounded.

In a way, the scene was indeed quite bizarre.

”This guy could definitely be called the runaway Guardian.”

Han Yu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Nothing had even happened yet, and he was already leading a group to escape.

Ling Wuce wasn’t laughing, after watching for a moment, he nodded silently, ”He may not be the most outstanding among cultivators, but from another angle, as a Guardian, he’s not wrong.”

To be able to gather all the people of a city and have them relocate in such a short time, Chicken Feather Gall truly is one of a kind, and from another perspective, he indeed has the people’s support.

”Moreover, leading his people to flee is not something to be ashamed of.”

And this time, Chicken Feather Gall really helped a lot. If they waited for the cultivators’ battle to break out, the instant destructive power wouldn’t leave time for these ordinary people to escape slowly.

Sea Stone City probably can’t be saved, but as long as there are people, it can be rebuilt at any time.

”My lord, um... about this leading people thing...”

Responsibly maintaining order among the crowd, Chicken Feather Gall keenly spotted the two figures at the entrance of the Government Office, flew over, and embarrassedly chuckled a few times.

Ling Wuce smiled at the corner of his mouth and waved his hand, ”I said, I’m not interfering. You manage it yourself.”

Alright! Chicken Feather Gall’s heart was delighted, hurriedly cupped his hands in salute, and then dove back into the crowd behind him.

Han Yu had a peculiar expression, as if he had figured something out.

This sudden autonomy granted to Chicken Feather Gall happened after he took the pill, didn’t it!

”Is Sea Stone City doomed?”

”Ahem, I don’t know what you’re talking about?”

Ling Wuce coughed a few times, pretending not to understand.

”Is it my soul fragment and me who caused this?”

”The two of us were fighting here?”

”That guy came to Sea Stone City?”

Ling Wuce’s face turned green at the questioning. Was Han Yu continuously asking to ensure he wouldn’t suffer a backlash?

”I feel like you want to push him to his death.”

In the Sea of Consciousness, the Artifact Spirit was laughing hysterically.

Do you know what it means to have a tacit understanding? Can that pill’s side effects answer you?

Han Yu eventually caught on and gave an awkward smile, showing a look of ’I understand you’.

You understand nothing! Ling Wuce shot back an irritated look.

”Oh!”

A deer’s call echoed at that moment, causing both of them to raise their eyes, only to see the Mountain Spirit standing spiritedly in front of the street.

Is this guy still here?

Then he quickly became relieved; it seemed difficult for the Wood Spirit to leave, given its massive body and deep-rooted network spread throughout Sea Stone City. If it moved, the city would be gone even without the need for the divided soul to lift a finger.

”Lord Wood Spirit.”

There was also a little girl who hadn’t left, Qing Wan landed nearby.

”Oh...”

The Wood Spirit seemed displeased, calling out to Qing Wan several times.

Qing Wan shook her head repeatedly, ”The villagers have all left with everyone, I stayed to help.”

”Oh oh...”

The Mountain Spirit turned its head towards the two, calling out again, and Qing Wan quickly translated.

”Lord Mountain Spirit says that the dead-faced one from a few days ago is at the original village site.”

The divided soul has landed?

”I’ll go find him.”

Han Yu rubbed his hands together, initially thinking he had to wait a while, but unexpectedly the divided soul had arrived so quickly.

”Oh!”

”No need.”

Qing Wan quickly interjected.

”Oh oh!”

”He’s coming this way, the main body...”

After the girl finished speaking, the Wood Spirit suddenly wilted.

At the same time, a tremendous uproar suddenly resounded, as the enormous tree crown visible from the city’s west started to tremble.

The interconnected streets began to crack inch by inch, suddenly exploding open as thick roots like waistlines surged out from underground.

”Oh oh...”

The entire Wood Spirit was trembling, fear showing on its deer-like face.

”He suddenly attacked me...”

Qing Wan seemed to sense the other’s fear, and while translating, her small frame couldn’t help but shake.

”Such a terrifying power, he’s so strong, I’m so scared!”

Qing Wan, in resonance with the Wood Spirit’s emotions, almost spoke with tears in her voice.

One could only imagine the bewilderment in the Wood Spirit’s heart at that moment, completely lacking the previous pompous demeanor.

Boom!

The enormous tree trunk was swaying uncontrollably, it seemed the divided soul was indeed intent on uprooting the Wood Spirit.

”He can bind me! My main body can’t move.”

”You take these two and leave!”

Han Yu sighed towards Ling Wuce, he couldn’t estimate how big the commotion would be during the fight, but certainly wouldn’t be able to watch over here.

”You be more careful yourself then.”

Ling Wuce didn’t waste any words, pulling Qing Wan up and urging the Wood Spirit to flee.

The divided soul came too quickly, he didn’t expect that just between taking the pill and now, the person would have already come to kill.

Feeling a surge of relief!

The Chicken Feather Gall had made significant contributions this time, its retreat was very timely.

...

The divided soul stood aloft, with a single finger pointing at the tree crown, an endless flow of power surged out, binding the entire massive wooden body.

Then, with a change of heart, the force injected into the wood body started exerting itself.

The Wood Spirit’s main body, vast and awe-inspiring, was now at its mercy, unable to resist at all.

An uncountable number of entangled roots had already been dragged out from beneath the stump, the body swaying more and more.

The divided soul, as if doing something trivial, even leisurely observed the entire Sea Stone City.

Soon he noticed something unusual in the city.

”Strange, why is there no one here?”

In such a large city, it was unnaturally quiet.

But this was just a trivial episode, whether there were people here or not couldn’t stop him from doing what he wanted.

As long as that pesky Daoist didn’t interfere, no one in Central Continent could deal with him.

”Need help?”

Suddenly, a peculiar voice came from below.

The divided soul’s vacant face suddenly looked down, meeting Han Yu’s gaze.

Han Yu smiled, clenching his fists as he walked to the tree’s base and looked up at the sky.

His smile gradually faded, involuntarily tensing his body as his bones creaked like muffled thunder.

”Is it you?”

The divided soul gave a mechanical smile; he hadn’t expected that the three things he needed to do in this trip to the Central Continent, two would already be present at the same place.

Not bad luck!
