Chapter 366: Chapter 224: Slaying Murong Kang, Entering Reincarnation Together

He performed a divination.

But the results of the divination were still unclear, shrouded in mist. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

For some time after, Ye Hao became the focus of nearly everyone’s discussions.

Throughout the Core Formation Ceremony, news kept arriving.

After surviving the Golden Core cultivator’s attack.

Ye Hao didn’t lie low. Instead, he grew even more aggressive, repeatedly attacking the properties of Yellow Crane Immortal City.

In less than a month, he had caused massive losses for Yellow Crane Immortal City.

On the final day of the Core Formation Ceremony.

Li Chang’an received more news.

’Ye Hao actually blocked a joint attack from He Qianshan and Xiahou Hong?’

He was secretly astonished by the news.

’What kind of heaven-defying opportunity did Ye Hao stumble upon?’

’If this continues...’

’Perhaps only Huang He Master himself will be able to take down Ye Hao.’

But for a dignified Late Stage of Golden Core cultivator to be forced to act against a Late Stage of Foundation Establishment cultivator, it would be quite a loss of face.

...

After the Foundation Establishment Ceremony ended.

Li Chang’an hurried back to Changqing Mountain and continued to monitor the situation between the Huanghe Alliance and Yellow Crane Immortal City.

Before long, he received news.

Due to the Huanghe Alliance’s rampant aggression, the remaining disciples of the Yellow Crane Mountain Lineage had all taken action. Even Murong Kang was forced to move against the Huanghe Alliance.

’Murong Kang has finally left Yellow Crane Mountain.’

Li Chang’an analyzed the messages in his hand in silence.

He faintly sensed that the time to deal with Murong Kang had arrived.

「A few days later.」

Li Chang’an changed into his Li Fan identity and headed to a Huanghe Alliance stronghold.

There, he met Ye Hao and confirmed it was truly him, not an imposter.

"Daoist Ye, you actually managed to come back alive from the bottom of Soul-breaking Cliff?"

"Sigh, it’s a long story."

Ye Hao gave a bitter smile, his face filled with lingering fear.

He didn’t say much, seemingly unwilling to talk about what happened at the bottom of Soul-breaking Cliff.

Seeing this, Li Chang’an didn’t press the matter.

He simply stated that he needed to be informed of the Huanghe Alliance’s every move from now on.

"No problem!"

Ye Hao didn’t ask any questions either and agreed immediately.

...

「For the next few months.」

Before every operation, the Huanghe Alliance would inform Li Chang’an in advance.

Li Chang’an, in turn, would use the information to lie in wait, searching for the right opportunity.

During this time, Murong Kang had taken action several times, but the circumstances were never right to make a move.

This was because He Qianshan or Xiahou Hong was always by his side.

「On this day.」

The Huanghe Alliance struck again, this time targeting a Spirit Stone Mine belonging to Yellow Crane Immortal City.

The Yellow Crane Mountain Lineage had anticipated this and was lying in wait.

A great battle erupted between the two sides!

"Ye Hao, you’re a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator, yet you want to overthrow my Yellow Crane Immortal City? You must be dreaming!"

Xiahou Hong roared, his Fake Pill aura flaring as killing intent filled his face.

He unleashed a terrifyingly powerful strike in his fury.

An ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator would have no chance of surviving such a blow.

But Ye Hao blocked it!

He unleashed a jet-black stream of Magical Power, meeting the attack head-on!

’This power... it doesn’t seem to belong to Ye Hao himself, but from something inside his body.’

Li Chang’an, hidden in the shadows, pondered this.

After observing for so long, he had already noticed a few clues.

He couldn’t help but recall the ring that had suddenly flown into Ye Hao’s body during his Foundation Establishment.

’Could it be that thing?’

Just as he was thinking, another Core Formation aura erupted.

He Qianshan, the head disciple of Yellow Crane Mountain, appeared and lunged at Ye Hao.

Two Core Formation experts ganging up on a single Foundation Establishment Cultivator was truly unbelievable.

But this scene had already played out many times recently.

Based on past encounters, Ye Hao would withstand the pressure from the two Core Formation experts to buy time for the other Huanghe Alliance members to retreat.

But just then, a clear crane’s cry suddenly echoed across the sky.

"SCREECH—"

Immediately after, a bright yellow Spiritual Light descended from the sky, transforming into a yellow crane with a stunning presence, which instantly shot toward Ye Hao.

BOOM!

Ye Hao’s entire body shook violently. He was sent flying backward, his aura instantly weakening considerably.

Huang He Master’s Tier Three Yellow Crane had finally made its move!

This yellow crane’s power had long since reached the Tier Three Middle Stage. With its profound foundation, its strength far surpassed anyone else present!

"Retreat!"

Ye Hao roared, ordering the members of the Huanghe Alliance to fall back.

He alone faced the combined power of the three Core Formation-level threats—the yellow crane, He Qianshan, and Xiahou Hong—to give the others time to escape.

But perhaps because the yellow crane’s appearance had disrupted their plans, this retreat was clearly more chaotic than the previous ones.

There wasn’t the slightest bit of order.

The cultivators of the Yellow Crane Mountain Lineage seized the opportunity to pursue them, killing many Huanghe Alliance cultivators.

Disciples of Yellow Crane Mountain like Pei Yingyao, Ji Mengyun, and Bai Hao each gave chase in a different direction.

Even Murong Kang did the same.

’The opportunity is here!’

Li Chang’an took a deep breath and secretly followed Murong Kang.

The Huanghe Alliance cultivator being chased by Murong Kang had a Cultivation at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, and his Escape Technique was quite decent.

The two of them, one chasing and one fleeing, rapidly moved away from the battlefield.

Before long, the Huanghe Alliance cultivator had fled into the Black Dragon Mountain Range and was speeding toward the entrance of the Blood Stone Secret Realm.

’Trying to use the Secret Realm to shake off Murong Kang?’

Li Chang’an saw through the man’s plan.

The Secret Realm was fraught with crises and countless dangerous areas.

If he was pushed into a corner, he could just dive into any random danger zone, and Murong Kang wouldn’t dare to pursue him further.

Everything went more or less as Li Chang’an had expected.

After fleeing into the Blood Stone Secret Realm, the Huanghe Alliance cultivator immediately made a break for a well-known danger zone within it.

"Hmph, trying to escape?"

Murong Kang’s expression was cold; he too had seen through the man’s plan.

A bloody light flashed in his hand as he prepared to kill his target before he could enter the danger zone.

But just then, a streak of Cyan Wood Divine Light tore through the sky like a bolt of cyan lightning, abruptly slamming into Murong Kang.
