C1589 Scam?

"Gu Qiujian is back?"

Inside a stone house in Heavenly River City, Li Xinghan sprung up. When he suddenly heard this news, he couldn't help but exclaim out loud. He even almost shouted out the two words "Gu Ying", and a trace of unconcealable astonishment appeared on his usually cold face.

Roughly half a month ago, a large number of cultivators in the Heavenly River City searched in a large scale, but were unable to find any traces of "Gu Ying" or the Fourteenth.

He and Du Yue determined that "Gu Ying" and the Fourteenth would perish together, and sent the message to Innate City.

That "Gu Ying" was someone they needed special protection from, and Du Yue even came to the Heavenly River City to stand guard because of "Gu Ying". However, something had happened to him in the Heavenly River City, so the two of them thought that Lei Dao would punish them severely after he received the news.

Lei Dao did not punish the two of them, he only sent a message and reprimanded them.

The two of them heaved a sigh of relief, but there were some doubts in their minds. Not long after, a large scale battle broke out between the human cultivators and the Death Spirit at the center line. The two of them could faintly understand that Lei Dao was probably focused on that huge battle and did not have the heart to settle the "Gu Ying" matter.

This made the two of them somewhat nervous.

However, regardless of what they were thinking, one thing was certain, that "Gu Ying" was already dead, without even his corpse and bones remaining.

But after so many days, the "Gu Ying", who he thought had long since died, actually returned to the Heavenly River City.

This was truly unbelievable.

However, in the end, Li Xinghan was someone who had seen countless storms, and after a moment of shock, he had already calmed down, and doubts surfaced in his mind. On the other side of the Nether Death Realm, there had been many examples of people who had possessed souls and returned alive.

However, nearly half of the cultivators that returned were taken over by the Death Spirit.

"Could this' Gu Ying 'be the same?"

The instant that this thought flashed across his mind, a layer of gloom appeared on Li Xinghan's forehead, and he immediately shouted out, "Call Hu Jian in, then inform the other commanders of Heavenly River City, so that they are ready. If my situation is like this, there is no need to worry."

"Yes sir!"

The slender young man with the delicate face had clearly understood the meaning of Li Xinghan's words. With a flash of his eyes, he bowed and retreated.

Not too long after, a figure appeared at the entrance to the stone house.

This person was naturally Tang Huan.

After leaving Black Sword Mountain and getting rid of the group of experts from the Death Spirit, Tang Huan kept using the "Air Escape" along the way, leaving the western part of the battlefield.

However, Tang Huan did not immediately return to the Heavenly River City. At that time, Tang Huan's body was constantly releasing an incomparably rich immortal spirit aura, and he looked like an incomparably precious human-shaped immortal artifact.

Returning to the Heavenly River City in that state must be under the suspicion of everyone, and might even make people suspect that he was carrying an immortal treasure on him.

Once the news spread, it would surely attract the coveting of countless cultivators.

After all, his identity in the "Domain of the Domain" was kept a secret. Other than Lei Dao and a few other cultivators, no one knew that he was a disciple of the Spring Dragon Immortal Sect. A Sky Phase of ordinary birth, with its own immortal treasures, who else could it be but him?

Tang Huan was very clear on the principle that owning a treasure was a crime.

Although Tang Huan did not truly possess a powerful immortal equipment, under the control and urging of Greed, not many people believed his explanation.

Hence, during the time he was at the center of the battlefield, aside from refining the energy contained in the pool, Tang Huan had also been constantly restraining his Immortal Spirit Insight.

Tang Huan was able to restrain the aura of his own strength. It was a natural state and he did not have to forcefully do it. After his flesh body transformed into the true "Sun Immortal Body," it released the heavenly spirit aura that symbolized a Immortal Body, which was also a very natural state. In such a situation, restraining the will of an immortal spirit was far more difficult than releasing energy. After spending more than ten days, Tang Huan finally managed to subdue all of his celestial spirit intent.

Of course, in those ten days, Tang Huan's cultivation had also increased greatly, to the point that he was able to condense several tens of thousands of Dao Crystal. The current Tang Huan, with one million and one Dao Crystal, had already stepped into the second level of the Sky Phase, and his strength had once again dramatically increased.

"Qiu Jian greets Vice Mayor Li."

After entering the stone hut, Tang Huan bowed to Li Xinghan.1

"Second level Sky Phase?"

The corner of Li Xinghan's mouth twitched, and said expressionlessly, "I never thought that Commander Qiu Jian not only came back alive, but his cultivation rose so fast, congratulations!"

"Thank you, Vice City Lord!"

Tang Huan smiled slightly, "This one was only able to escape from the hands of the Fourteenth Death Spirit because of a stroke of luck, but my injuries were not light. Fortunately, I found an extremely secretive place in the middle of the battlefield, where I could heal my injuries.

Although Li Xinghan's expression was as cold and solemn as ever, from the aura he emitted, one could faintly tell that something was amiss. Could it be that he was too shocked to see safely returning?

This thought flashed across Tang Huan's mind, but he did not take it to heart, after which his gaze shifted and laughed, "Vice City Lord, I wonder what City Lord Du is doing?"

"City Lord Du is currently not in the Heavenly River City."

Li Xinghan said in a deep voice, "A few days ago, during the great battle between us humans and the Death Spirit, City Lord Du was sent over. His injuries are quite serious, and he is currently recuperating from his injuries in the Innate City."

"So that's how it is."

After Tang Huan heard this, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Even though Liu Ming was able to completely retract his Celestial Spirit Aura, he was still unable to control it. Occasionally, there would be even the slightest bit of a Celestial Spirit Aura that would spill out. Li Xinghan was only at the peak of the fourth stage, so he shouldn't be able to sense it. However, since Du Yue was at the tenth stage, it was hard to say.

Fortunately he was not in the Heavenly River City. If Tang Huan had a bit more time, his control over the Immortal Spirit Insight would have become even more relaxed and unrestrained.

Catching Tang Huan's expression, Li Xinghan's eyes became extremely sharp.

"Vice City Lord, I wonder what the result of that huge battle was?" While thinking, Tang Huan could not help but ask.

"Aren't you clearer about the outcome of the battle than I am?" Li Xinghan suddenly laughed coldly, a ruthless glint flashing across his eyes.

"What do you mean?"

Tang Huan's face darkened.

This Li Xinghan was no longer acting weirdly, but rather, extremely weirdly. Tang Huan could actually feel an extremely strong killing intent coming from his body.
