Chapter 161 Dongfang Han is trapped in Luoxia City
When Zhong Hanshang's background was mentioned, everyone fell silent for a moment.
Especially Dongfang Han, who spent every day with Zhong Hanshang.
Watching this child grow from a babbling infant into a spirited young man.
Years of meticulous care had led him to regard Zhong Hanshang as his own son, and their deep affection for each other was extraordinary.
Logically and emotionally, now that Zhong Hanshang has grown up, it's time for him to know the truth about his origins.
However, looking back at the horrific tragedy that occurred in Luoxia City, even a powerful sect like Qingyun Sect still has many unsolved mysteries.
Overnight, all the people of Luoxia City were transformed into ghosts.
Corpses were scattered everywhere; it was a horrific sight.
Only Zhong Hanshang, who was still an infant, miraculously survived.
No one can say for sure what earth-shattering secret lies behind this.
At present, Zhong Hanshang is at a critical juncture in his attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
This is a major hurdle on the path of cultivation for every cultivator, and the stability of one's Dao heart is of paramount importance.
The slightest mistake could undo all the previous efforts, or even lead to a state of demonic possession.
Once the mystery of his origins is revealed at this moment, no one can guarantee whether he can withstand the sudden shock.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Han frowned slightly, broke the silence first, and took the initiative to suggest:
"Sect Master, this matter is of great importance. Let's discuss it further after I return from Luoxia City."
After all, the most urgent task at hand is to ascertain the situation in Luoxia City.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Zhong Hanshang possesses unparalleled talent, making him a unique genius in the Qingyun Sect over the past century and a rising star for the sect's future.
His every step of growth has been closely watched, but now the matter of his background is like a ticking time bomb.
Once it's detonated, it's truly unpredictable how he will choose to act, and what his mindset will be when facing the sect and himself.
Since there was no conclusion yet, and everyone felt that there was no point in continuing the discussion, they all got up and took their leave.
Only Dongfang Han was kept by the sect leader.
The sect leader looked solemn and serious as he gazed at Dongfang Han, earnestly instructing him:
"You must be extremely careful in everything you do as you travel to Luoxia City tonight."
That place is now filled with evil spirits and is extremely dangerous.
If you notice anything unusual, do not be reckless; immediately crush the jade pendant.
It contains our sect's teleportation restriction, which will safely teleport you outside the city.
Remember, your safety is of utmost importance; do not act rashly.
Dongfang Han nodded solemnly.
Under the cover of night, Luoxia City resembled a desolate ghost town.
The silence was eerily quiet, a stark contrast to the eerie and bustling atmosphere of the past.
Dongfang Han cautiously stepped through the city gate. As soon as he entered the city, he saw a huge pit not far ahead.
The pit walls are surrounded by jagged rocks and overturned soil, clearly indicating the traces left after a fierce battle.
His heart tightened, and he immediately used his flying technique to fly to the bottom of the pit, wanting to find out what was going on.
After this thorough examination, Dongfang Han felt a chill run down his spine, and a cold sensation shot from the soles of his feet to his head.
Dongfang Han was greatly alarmed and realized something was wrong. He immediately tried to crush the jade pendant to protect himself.
But before he could make a move, a powerful black demonic shadow appeared out of thin air.
It swept towards him with overwhelming force and incredible speed.
Dongfang Han was unable to dodge in time and was knocked to the ground by the blow.
He felt his blood and qi surging within him, and a mouthful of blood spurted out instantly.
The dark shadow drifted leisurely in the air, like the god of death who ruled over everything.
Looking down at Dongfang Han from his high vantage point, he let out a sinister laugh:
"Hmph, you actually have the aura of that kid who came last time on you."
It seems that as long as I capture you, I'm not worried about him not coming to rescue you.
Despite the excruciating pain within him, Dongfang Han wore a bewildered and confused expression, pondering to himself:
Who exactly is this "kid" that the dark figure is talking about?
How did I end up with that person's scent for no reason?
He dared not be careless in the slightest and forced himself to stand up.
He quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations.
In an instant, several incredibly sharp sword lights, like lightning, hurtled towards the dark figure.
However, the dark figure simply waved its hand lightly, easily deflecting the several sword lights.
He even let out a mocking laugh: "Oh, the Qingyun Sect's techniques?"
"It seems that kid is from your Qingyun Sect."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Han instantly realized that the person the shadowy figure was referring to was undoubtedly Zhong Hanshang.
But he was filled with doubt, because Han Shang hadn't mentioned this matter to him after returning!
Moreover, judging from the current situation, I am now deeply mired in a predicament and find it difficult to get out.
How did Han Shang manage to escape unscathed back then?
But at this moment, the situation was critical, and he had no time to think.
The most urgent task is to crush the jade pendant as quickly as possible and escape this perilous situation.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Han quickly devised a plan to divert the shadowy figure's attention.
So he asked, "What exactly is your status in the Demon Realm?"
Upon hearing this, the shadowy figure let out a cold laugh.
The sound was like shards of ice in a cold night, piercing the eardrums:
"Hmph, stop trying to test me. Even if I tell you the truth, you ignorant human might not know."
Alright, I'm in a good mood today, and I don't necessarily want to make things difficult for you.
I can mercifully let you leave, but you must swear an oath to Heaven.
At this point, the shadowy figure paused slightly, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.
"Go and bring me the cultivator who broke into Luoxia City last night."
I will make her suffer a fate worse than death, and tear her to pieces to vent my hatred.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Han was stunned and stood frozen in place, his heart filled with astonishment:
He actually let me go? This is really unexpected.
It seems that the ghosts of Luoxia City have almost disappeared overnight, all of which are related to the mysterious cultivator from last night.
After a brief moment of shock, Dongfang Han regained his composure and replied with a troubled expression:
"This... I can't do it."
I can't even beat you, so how could I possibly capture that powerful cultivator who wiped out all the Yin spirits?
Isn't this just wishful thinking?
After listening to what he said, the shadowy figure thought about it for a moment and felt that it made sense.
After a moment of silence, he spoke again: "Since that's the case, then let's settle for second best."
"You just need to find out the cultivator's detailed information and place him in Luoxia City during the day. That shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
Dongfang Han pondered to himself, how could that cultivator not only make this black shadow so wary, but also wipe out most of the Yin spirits in one fell swoop?
He must be incredibly powerful, at least a Tribulation Transcending expert, right?
Such a person, even if I reveal the information, I'm sure I won't be easily harmed.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that if I agree to this request, it wouldn't be against my moral principles.
After weighing the pros and cons, Dongfang Han gritted his teeth and replied:
"Alright, I agree. However, I would like to know, what were the distinctive features of that monk last night?"
The shadowy figure snorted coldly and said in a chilling tone:
"She is a female cultivator, whose cultivation level is only at the Nascent Soul stage. Her weapon is quite peculiar, a pair of large iron hammers."
The giant iron hammer was also crackling with lightning.
"Nascent Soul cultivation?" Dongfang Han's eyes widened in astonishment.
How is this possible? A mere Nascent Soul cultivator was able to wipe out eight or nine tenths of the Yin spirits in Luoxia City?
Are all female cultivators this powerful in this world?
