Divine Sense is not the same as Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. Although it cannot be confirmed that it is indeed Black Flow Iron, for the sake of his life, after receiving an answer from the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, Ye Huan did not linger but quickly returned along the same path to the Dragon Hall Warehouse. What Ye Huan did not expect was that aside from the open door indicating someone had entered or exited, there was no trace of Hua Tuo left in the Dragon Hall Warehouse.
“Senior Hua, are you still here?”
To avoid the possibility that Hua Tuo was hiding his presence, Ye Huan shouted while stepping towards the shelf he suspected. However, just as he feared, the shelf was completely empty. Not only was there nothing that could be detected by Divine Sense, but even other items had vanished. Perhaps Hua Tuo had deliberately taken everything away to conceal the importance of that item. If that were the case, there was a ninety-nine percent chance that it was indeed Black Flow Iron!
“Damn it…”
With a heavy punch against the edge of the shelf, Ye Huan couldn't help but curse. What puzzled him was why Hua Tuo, who had previously had the opportunity to kill him, had not acted until now and instead saved his life multiple times.
Feeling that something was off, Ye Huan carefully pondered everything that had happened since he met Hua Tuo. He ultimately concluded that Hua Tuo did not yet possess the Soul-Cutting Blade, a treasure capable of severing the Summoning Book from his body. Of course, it was also possible that Hua Tuo intended to wait until Ye Huan became a Ninth-Level Summoner before making a move. However, if that were true, there seemed to be no reason for Hua Tuo to leave Ye Huan's side now.
‘Transcending Tribulation Stage Cultivator, Ghost Hand Silver Needle, Evil Doctor Huatuo…’
Rubbing his aching head, deep down, Ye Huan did not want to establish such a formidable enemy. But this was not about what he wanted; rather, it was about the fact that Hua Tuo had already set his sights on the 2012 Arms Compendium. Just as Ye Huan was still troubled by thoughts of Hua Tuo, a loud shout suddenly echoed above the Dragon Hall: “Ye Huan, get out here!”
“Who dares to cause trouble above the Dragon Hall?”
Before Ye Huan could respond, at the position of the main hall of the Dragon Hall, both Bai Yulin and Black Shadow Flower roared in anger and soon appeared in midair. It seemed they considered themselves part of the Dragon Hall. This indicated that during the three months while Ye Huan had been unconscious, they had developed quite a good relationship with his subordinates.
Curious about who had come to cause trouble at the Dragon Hall, upon hearing the voices of Bai Yulin and Black Shadow Flower, Ye Huan temporarily pushed thoughts of Hua Tuo out of his mind and quickly left the Dragon Hall Warehouse. As soon as he stepped outside, he clearly saw a young man in his twenties standing proudly above the clouds over the Dragon Hall. With sharp eyebrows and tiger-like eyes, dressed in a pristine white robe, he looked like someone with strong principles. The only thing puzzling was why such a handsome guy would come to find Ye Huan.
Filled with confusion, Ye Huan could be certain that he had never dealt with this person before. However, seeing that the man's appearance did not resemble that of a petty criminal, Ye Huan quickly ascended into the air to intercept the somewhat impulsive Bai Yulin and asked the stranger, "I am Ye Huan. May I know who you are? Is there some misunderstanding between us?"
"Misunderstanding? You dare to talk about misunderstanding after killing my daughter, Luo Shaohui?"
The stranger's face twisted into a snarl upon hearing Ye Huan's words. He immediately entered a rage, and a long sword appeared in his hand. This made Bai Yulin and Black Shadow Flower tense up instantly, while Ye Huan remained unfazed because he had no idea who Luo Shaohui's daughter was!
"Wait a minute, Luo Shaohui? The surname Luo? Could he be the father of Luo Yufeng? Goodness, he looks too young for that!"
Once again deceived by the changing appearances of cultivators, Ye Huan quickly realized who Luo Shaohui was. Recently, the only woman he had killed was indeed that troublesome demoness, Luo Yufeng. Moreover, according to what Lingxiao said before dying, it was only natural for Luo Shaohui to seek revenge on him. The only headache was Luo Shaohui's cultivation at the Combination Stage. With Hua Tuo missing in action, facing a Core Formation Stage Cultivator would be daunting. If it came to a fight, not only would Dragon Hall struggle against him, but even the combined forces of Tianyue City and Four Halls would likely not stand a chance.
Knowing that any battle above Dragon Hall Headquarters would inevitably damage the buildings below, Ye Huan said nothing. He exchanged a glance with Bai Yulin and flew off into the distance at a moderate speed, clearly allowing Luo Shaohui to follow. Luo Shaohui immediately saw through Ye Huan's ploy; however, deep down, ever since he learned from a probing spell in Eastern State that Ye Huan was the one who killed Luo Yufeng, he had set his mind on one goal: to kill Ye Huan. Thus, when he saw Ye Huan moving away, he did not hesitate and closely followed behind.
"Strange, how does Luo Shaohui know I killed his daughter? Did Luo Yufeng convey some message to him before she died?"
As he gradually began to accelerate, Ye Huan took this brief moment to recall the events surrounding Luo Yufeng's death. Although he couldn't quite grasp how Luo Shaohui knew it was him who killed her at this moment, Ye Huan was certain that Hua Tuo had malicious intentions when he killed many disciples of Nine Yin Cave. Additionally, since Luo Shaohui was already a Core Formation Stage Cultivator, it seemed that Ye Huan was facing an unavoidable death unless he could achieve some breakthrough.
"That's enough; let's stop here!"
Just as Ye Huan pondered what he could use to fight against a Core Formation Stage Cultivator, Luo Shaohui—who had been following him at a steady pace—suddenly spoke up. His words snapped Ye Huan out of his thoughts. Looking down, he realized that they had already arrived above a forest southeast of Tianyue City.
"Alright, here it is!"
Nodding again, Ye Huan adopted a serious demeanor and focused as he took out his Summoning Book. This wasn't due to being overly cautious; rather, he understood clearly that as a Core Formation Stage Cultivator, Luo Shaohui had the means to kill him in an instant. If he allowed him to strike first, there would be no second chance...
