Chapter 672: Kong Que - Han Yuanji

Chapter 672: Kong Que - Han Yuanji



"Does that mean those men are dead, sir?"

The male demihuman shook his head at Shao Yunxi. "Their lifestones remain intact, proving they are alive, but no one knows where they are. Since those men aren't from powerful clans, their families couldn't save them from her."

"Aren't there many cultivators who are as powerful or even stronger than Lady Kong Que? Why aren't those powerful cultivators willing to help them?" Xuanyuan Lingyag raised her eyebrows slightly in question.

"They-"

"Lingyan, you can't keep thinking naively like that." Xuanyuan Lingyan immediately turned to Feng Xian'er. "My hubby has already explained some things to you three days ago, and I believe you should have understood the general outline of the cultivation world. The cultivation world is cruel and selfish, so it would be best if you learned to think of yourself first and stopped thinking about others, especially since the closest person to you can betray and stab you in the back one day. As long as you don't have the strength to protect yourself, you don't need to be meddlesome with other people's affairs, or you will suffer the consequences yourself."

Xuanyuan Lingyan opened her mouth to refute Feng Xian'er, but she immediately swallowed her words back after she remembered the incident in the ruins, where she felt so helpless for the first time. Moreover, she was just facing Qin Qingshuang's soul remnant at that time, but she couldn't do anything to save herself, and she would have died in her hands if Chen Li hadn't saved her, let alone if she had to face her while she was still alive.

Xuanyuan Lingyan then clenched both her fists tightly before nodding to Feng Xian'er. "All right, I understand what you mean."

"It's good if you can really understand it." Feng Xian'er nodded slightly in response, then proceeded to ask the male demihuman a few more questions. However, he hesitated to answer a few questions due to their sensitivity and his fear of dying if he did.

Meanwhile, Chen Li sat leisurely on the boat while looking at the map. He secretly searched for the men Kong Que had forced into her private place, but his map yielded no clues to their whereabouts.

'Hmm?' Chen Li suddenly raised his eyebrows when he noticed a pair of eyes staring at him from a distance, and he immediately recognized their owner, who was none other than Kong Que. However, he pretended not to notice, and the corners of his lips lifted slightly into a faint smile. 'Let's see what you want to do to me, but if you have any malicious intentions towards my women, I'll make you regret it.'

Feng Xian'er naturally also noticed Kong Que's gaze, but she also pretended not to notice it, and she then spoke to Chen Li through voice transmission. 'Apparently, that woman has her sights set on you, hubby.'

'Yeah.' Chen Li replied with a nod of agreement. 'Anyway, I think Kong Que has something to do with the chaos on the Ancient King Island, especially since I detected the same darkness from her body.'

'Huh?' Feng Xian'er immediately turned to her husband in surprise. 'Does that imply that they have possessed and controlled her?'

'There is such a possibility.' Chen Li then glanced in two different directions. 'Moreover, not only Kong Que, but I also sensed the darkness from several other cultivators, all of whom had already advanced to the half-step god realm. That's why we must always be careful and vigilant while we stay in this realm, especially since we don't know to what extent the darkness affects the people in this realm.'

Feng Xian'er nodded in agreement with that. 'In that case, we should warn all those who aren't with us now, lest they get into big trouble if they aren't careful.'

A male demihuman with a lion-like build stood on the balcony with his arms crossed in front of his chest, and his eyes kept following the figures of Chen Li and Feng Xian'er without paying attention to the other women.

Behind him, another male demihuman stood upright, awaiting his orders, but he suddenly raised his eyebrows before speaking. "Lord Han Yuanji! Lady Kong Que seems interested in that young man, so she sent Da Xiang to get rid of his women, especially that crimson-haired

woman."

"I had expected that Kong Que would do that." Han Yuanji replied with a sullen expression, but he immediately made a decision. "Lu Zhi, let Da Xing and the others do whatever they want, and you don't need to join them."

"Eh?" Lu Zhi was surprised by Han Yuanji's order. "Why did you decide like that, Lord?"

"I am a lion, and my instincts for danger are very strong, remember?" Han Yuanji then showed his hand to Lu Zhi, which shocked him. "Have you ever seen me tremble like this? For a split second, I could feel the terror of the young man's aura, and my instincts told me not to mess with him. Moreover, the crimson-haired woman's body was also emitting a powerful aura, no less terrifying than the young man's. Furthermore, the woman in the inn was powerful, and I believe that her cultivation has already broken through to the five god realms. That's why I don't want to find trouble with them, or I myself will die."

After listening to his explanation, Lu Zhi's jaw dropped, especially since Han Yuanji had never been that serious and had never been afraid of anyone before, including facing Fei Long. "Are you sure that her cultivation has already broken through to the five god realms, Lord? Does that mean their entourage came from other realms?"

"That's right." Han Yuanji nodded at him. "I don't know where they came from, but I dare say

for sure that they did come from another realm."
