1590 Chapter 1590: Spy?
"Gu … Qiu Jian is back?
"In a stone house in Heavenly River City, Li Xinghan sprung up. Upon hearing this news, he couldn't help but exclaim out loud, and even almost called out the two words" Gu Ying ". A hint of unconcealable astonishment appeared on his usually cold face.
About half a month ago, many cultivators in Heavenly River City had searched on a large scale, but they had not found any traces of "Gu Ying" or the Fourteenth Stage Death Spirit.
He and Du Yue concluded that "Gu Ying" had already perished together with the Fourteenth Stage Death Spirit, so they sent the news to Innate City.
That "Gu Ying" was the person they needed to focus on protecting, and the reason why Du Yue came to Heavenly River City was also because of "Gu Ying", but something happened to him in Heavenly River City. The two of them originally thought that after Lei Dao received the news, he would severely punish them, but in the end, they broke my expectations.
Lei Dao did not punish the two of them, he only sent a message to reprimand them.
Not long after, a large scale battle broke out between the human cultivators and the undead in the central region. Only then did the two of them vaguely understand that Lei Dao might have placed all his attention on the great battle and did not have the heart to deal with the matter of "Gu Ying".
This made the two of them a little nervous.
However, no matter what they were thinking, one thing was certain, and that was that "Gu Ying" was already dead, and not even a corpse was left behind.
But after so many days, the "Gu Ying" that they thought had died a long time ago had actually returned to Heavenly River City.
This was truly inconceivable.
However, Li Xinghan was someone who had seen countless storms and waves. After a moment of shock, he had already calmed down, and a wave of doubt surfaced in his heart. On the other side of the "Nether Death Realm", there were many examples of people who had to die returning alive from the "Nether Death Realm".
However, nearly half of the cultivators who returned were possessed by undead spirits.
"Could this' Gu Ying 'be the same?"
The moment this thought flashed through his mind, a hint of gloom appeared between Li Xinghan's brows, and he immediately shouted in a low voice, "Call Qiu Jian in, and then inform the other commanders in Heavenly River City to make preparations. If I am in a situation, then there is no need to worry anymore."
"Yes!"
The young man with a slender body and a delicate face clearly understood the meaning behind Li Xinghan's words. His eyes flashed as he bowed and retreated.
Not long after, a figure appeared at the door of the stone house.
This person was naturally Tang Huan.
After leaving the Black Sword Mountain and getting rid of the group of undead experts, Tang Huan used the "Void Evasion" technique all the way out of the western part of the battlefield.
However, Tang Huan did not immediately return to Heavenly River City. Instead, she hid herself in the center of the "Domain". At that time, Tang Huan's body was constantly emitting an incomparably dense immortal spirit aura, and she looked like an incomparably precious human shaped immortal artifact.
Returning to Heavenly River City in such a state would definitely attract the attention of everyone. Perhaps people would even suspect that he was carrying an immortal artifact with him.
Once the news spread, it would definitely attract the covetous eyes of countless cultivators.
After all, his identity in the "Domain" was kept a secret. Other than Lei Dao and a few other cultivators, no one else knew that he came from the Spring Dragon Immortal Sect. They only thought that he was a disciple of the Celestial Sect. A first level Heaven stage cultivator with a sloppy background actually possessed an immortal treasure.
Tang Huan was still very clear about the principle of a man being innocent, but possessing a jade ring was a crime.
Although Tang Huan did not truly possess a powerful immortal equipment, under the control and drive of greed, his explanation was something that not many people would believe.
Therefore, during the period of time that Tang Huan was staying in the center of the battlefield, other than refining the energy contained in the "Suicide Pool", she was also continuously restraining her immortal spirit aura.
It was a natural state for Tang Huan to be able to restrain her own energy aura, and there was no need to force it. After her flesh body had transformed into the true "Celestial Body of the Sun", the immortal spirit aura that symbolized the immortal body was also a natural state. Under such circumstances, restraining the immortal spirit aura was much more difficult than releasing the aura of energy. It took Tang Huan more than ten days to completely retract the immortal spirit aura.
Of course, in those ten days, Tang Huan's cultivation had also greatly increased, and she had actually condensed hundreds of thousands of dao crystals in one go. The current Tang Huan had a million and one dao crystals, and had already stepped into the second level of the Sky Realm. Her strength had once again soared.
"Qiu Jian greets Vice City Lord Li."
After entering the stone house, Tang Huan bowed slightly towards Li Xinghan.
"Second level Heaven stage?"
The corner of Li Xinghan's mouth twitched slightly as he said expressionlessly, "I never thought that not only did Commander Qiu Jian return alive, his cultivation had also increased so quickly. Congratulations!"
"Thank you, Vice City Lord!"
Tang Huan smiled slightly, "I was only lucky enough to be able to escape from the hands of the Fourteenth Stage Death Spirit, but my injuries were not light. Fortunately, I found a very secretive place in the middle of the battlefield and healed my injuries there. I only recovered a few days ago, and in the end, I was able to obtain a blessing in disguise and break through in my cultivation."
As he spoke, his brows quietly furrowed, and a trace of doubt flashed across his eyes. Although Li Xinghan's expression was as cold and solemn as ever, from the fluctuations of his soul aura, he could faintly tell that something was wrong with his emotions. Could it be that he was too surprised to see that he had returned safely?
With that thought, Tang Huan did not take it to heart. She immediately turned her gaze and laughed, "Vice City Lord, I wonder if City Lord Du is …"
"City Lord Du is not in Heavenly River City right now."
Li Xinghan said in a deep voice, "A few days ago, our human cultivators fought a great battle with the undead. City Lord Du was dispatched over, and his injuries were quite severe. He is currently recuperating in Innate City."
"So that's how it is."
Hearing this, Tang Huan secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Although he was able to completely restrain the Immortal Spirit Insight, he was still unable to control it as if it was his own arm. Occasionally, there would be an extremely minute trace of Immortal Spirit Insight leaking out. Li Xinghan was only at the peak of the fourth level, so he shouldn't be able to sense it. However, Du Yue was at the tenth level, so it was hard to say.
Fortunately, he was not in Heavenly River City right now. If Tang Huan was given a little more time, her control over the Immortal Spirit Insight would become even easier.
Catching Tang Huan's expression, Li Xinghan's eyes became incomparably sharp.
"Vice City Lord, I wonder what the outcome of that great battle was?" With that thought, Tang Huan could not help but ask.
"Shouldn't you know better than me the outcome of the battle?" Li Xinghan suddenly sneered as a ruthless light flashed in his eyes.
"What do you mean?"
Tang Huan's face darkened.
