Chapter 162 The Curious Girl with the Hammer
Upon thinking of this, the words Zhong Hanshang had mentioned earlier suddenly flashed through his mind, and his heart tightened involuntarily:
Could this female cultivator who exterminated the Yin spirits be one of the ones Han Shang mentioned?
When Dongfang Han heard that the other party was only at the Nascent Soul stage, a sense of regret arose in his heart.
As a dignified Mahayana cultivator, he is now willing to betray the information of a Nascent Soul cultivator in order to protect himself.
If this gets out, his lifelong reputation will be ruined.
Furthermore, the very foundation of their Qingyun Sect is to save all living beings under heaven.
Isn't this behavior going against the very teachings of our ancestors?
With this in mind, Dongfang Han decided against granting the shadowy figure's request.
The worst that can happen is death, but one must never do anything against morality.
With that thought, his expression hardened, and he silently drew his spirit sword.
The sword gleamed coldly, reflecting his resolute face.
He planned to engage in a fierce battle with the shadowy figure to defend his dignity and righteousness.
A surge of pride welled up within him, and he pondered to himself:
A female cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage dared to venture alone into Luoxia City and engage in a life-or-death struggle with numerous Yin spirits.
As a Mahayana cultivator, what is there for me to fear?
Seeing Dongfang Han's resolute expression, as if he intended to fight him to the death, the shadowy figure felt a chill run down his spine.
He had barely managed to escape from that confinement place, but he didn't want to be trapped again because of his injuries.
After weighing the options, the dark figure flickered and vanished without a trace.
Dongfang Han, who was prepared to fight with all his might, was left standing there blankly.
? ? ? ? ?
What's going on? Didn't you say you would never let me go?
Why did you run away suddenly?
After a brief moment of shock, Dongfang Han came to his senses.
This is not a safe place to stay. If that dark figure returns, I might really lose my life here.
Without further hesitation, he quickly crushed the jade pendant in his hand.
In an instant, a flash of light appeared, and Dongfang Han instantly appeared outside Luoxia City.
Immediately afterwards, he flashed and used the teleportation technique to return to the Qingyun Sect in the blink of an eye.
Upon returning to the sect, Dongfang Han briefly explained the situation to the sect leader, and immediately summoned Zhong Hanshang to his side.
He looked at Zhong Hanshang with a solemn expression and asked:
"Han Shang, when you went out to train before, did you go to Luoxia City?"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Hanshang's heart tightened.
He thought to himself: In the end, he couldn't hide it from his master after all. But how did he find out?
After hesitating for a moment, he answered truthfully, "Master, I did go to Luoxia City before."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Han thought to himself: It seems that what the dark figure said was true, and he was indeed talking about him.
Immediately, his face darkened, and he said sternly:
"Why don't you tell me the whole story?"
After Zhong Hanshang has finished recounting his experiences in Luoxia City.
Dongfang Han increasingly felt that Gao Huohuo's characteristics were quite similar to the female cultivator described by the shadowy figure.
He couldn't help but press further: "Are you sure Gao Huohuo was using a long whip, and not a pair of large iron hammers?"
Upon hearing his master's question, Zhong Hanshang was immediately taken aback.
A giant iron sledgehammer? A girl using a giant iron sledgehammer—isn't that a bit hard to imagine?
"The weapon she used in Luoxia City was indeed a long whip, and that whip was imbued with the power of lightning, making it incredibly powerful."
Zhong Hanshang answered truthfully.
Upon hearing the words "with lightning," Dongfang Han's heart stirred, and he felt as if he were getting closer to the truth.
He pressed on, "With lightning? Then can her weapon change shape?"
Although Zhong Hanshang didn't understand why his master was so curious about the weapon Gao Huohuo used tonight.
But she still answered patiently one by one: "This disciple does not know, but she also has a weapon, a divine sword."
According to the disciple's speculation, both weapons are likely semi-divine artifacts, and both seem to possess weapon spirits.
"A semi-divine artifact? A spirit within the artifact? A Golden Core cultivator?"
Upon hearing this information, Dongfang Han was deeply shocked.
It's truly unbelievable that such remarkable qualities are concentrated in a female cultivator at the Golden Core stage.
He pondered to himself, wondering which sect Gao Huohuo came from, that he was wasting such a precious talent.
Such exceptionally talented disciples should all be recruited by their Qingyun Sect.
It seems necessary to find an opportunity to remind the sect leader that starting this year, we need to increase our efforts to recruit a large number of female disciples.
After Dongfang Han finished asking his question, he fell into deep thought.
Zhong Hanshang quickly asked:
"Master, is there anything else?"
If there's nothing else, this disciple will go back to continue cultivating.
Dongfang Han was slightly taken aback, then quickly came to his senses and turned his gaze to Zhong Hanshang, his expression filled with expectation.
He said slowly, "Han Shang, why don't you contact Gao Huohuo right now?"
"Huh? Master, why do I need to see her?"
Zhong Hanshang looked puzzled, his eyes filled with confusion.
Dongfang Han sighed softly and said earnestly:
"That girl risked her seriously injured body to save you."
Such a great kindness, shouldn't you properly express your gratitude?
“But Master, I made it clear at the time that if she ever had any difficulties in the future, I would do my best to help her.”
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Han was both amused and annoyed.
He thought to himself, "Why is my disciple so slow to understand? He's a complete blockhead."
He patiently continued to persuade him:
"Didn't you mention that she wanted to read the miscellaneous books of our Qingyun Sect?"
"I will accompany you to deliver it to her, and also to express our gratitude to her and her sect. This will show our sincerity."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Hanshang's face instantly showed an expression of disbelief.
His eyes widened, as if he had misheard, and he stammered:
"Master, you...you said you would go with me to see Gao Huohuo?"
"This...this won't do, she definitely won't agree."
"Just tell her you're delivering the book to her alone, and don't mention your teacher."
Dongfang Han waved his hand and offered his suggestion.
"This...this isn't right, isn't it? Isn't it a lie?"
Zhong Hanshang hesitated, his brows furrowed.
Seeing this, Dongfang Han raised his hand and gently tapped Zhong Hanshang's head, feigning anger, and said:
"Where did we lie? We weren't going to do anything bad; we were just here to express our gratitude for being saved."
Only by going with you can I truly show my sincerity.
Our Qingyun Sect is a prestigious first-class sect; we absolutely cannot give anyone grounds for criticism, making people think we're looking down on smaller sects.
After much earnest persuasion from Dongfang Han, Zhong Hanshang finally nodded and agreed completely.
He immediately activated his supernatural powers and sent a message to Gao Huohuo.
Dongfang Han looked at the magical artifact with a hint of curiosity in his eyes and exclaimed:
"Hey, this looks pretty good. Where did you get it?"
"Gao Huohuo lied to me at first, and then used this to apologize."
Zhong Hanshang answered truthfully, his tone revealing a hint of helplessness.
Dongfang Han's eyes flickered slightly, and he thought to himself:
This silly boy probably hasn't figured out Gao Huohuo's intentions yet.
In his opinion, the girl was probably interested in his disciple.
Before long, Gao Huohuo's reply arrived, containing only four words: "No time, no need."
