The Demon Eye of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality

Chapter 49 Li Huayuan's Death

Although Han Li already knew that Mu Chunfeng also knew Qi Yunxiao, he really didn't expect that Mu Chunfeng would also know Xin Ruyin, let alone that the two of them would meet at Xin Ruyin's place.

He originally planned to find Xin Ruyin to obtain the method to repair the ancient teleportation array, and then go to the mine to meet up with Mu Chunfeng.

Now that the two have met here, it saves him from having to fight alone.

After all, the Yue Kingdom has now been occupied by the demonic path, and demonic cultivators patrol and roam everywhere on the border and within the country. The safety factor is naturally much higher when the two of them go to the mine together.

Mu Chunfeng held the teacup in one hand and took a small sip.

He glanced at Han Li discreetly and found that although the other man's spiritual energy was abundant, it was somewhat disordered. He appeared to be unharmed, but in reality, there were several minor injuries hidden in his meridians that were not easily detected. This naturally did not escape his detection.

He knew perfectly well that Han Li must have been injured during a battle with demonic cultivators on the way to be abandoned by Linghu Patriarch.

But this time, Mu Chunfeng only guessed half of it correctly.

Han Li looked slightly tired at this moment.

He fled all the way from Yue Kingdom to Yuanwu Kingdom, intending to sneak into Tianxing Sect Market to see if Qi Yunxiao was there, but unexpectedly he ran into the Fu family cultivator.

Those Fu family cultivators were in groups. He had taken care of one of the lone ones while he was gathering information, but he never expected that there was a Core Formation cultivator behind them.

He had just killed the cultivator when he felt a powerful aura rapidly approaching from the vicinity.

If it weren't for his exceptional alertness and the concealment techniques he possessed, he would probably still be being hunted down by that unknown Core Formation cultivator.

Even without directly confronting a Core Formation cultivator, just to escape that person's pursuit, Han Li didn't know how many times he had exhausted his magic power, and even his meridians were aching from the excessive depletion of spiritual energy.

Han Li was filled with puzzlement. What had Qi Yunxiao done since their last encounter that the Fu family was so willing to go to such lengths to hunt him down, even sending out a Core Formation cultivator?

He suppressed the turmoil in his heart, calmly looked at Mu Chunfeng, and remembered something more important: "Senior brother, Master... he's dead."

Mu Chunfeng paused slightly as she held the teacup, then silently placed it on the table.

"Oh? Do you know who did it?"

Mu Chunfeng naturally knew the answer, but she still asked it knowingly.

"It seems to be the Old Demon Yunlu. I only heard about it from other cultivators later."

Han Li then briefly recounted his experiences after returning to Huangfeng Valley to Mu Chunfeng.

His tone was complex and difficult to describe: "When Master rescued me from the encirclement, he turned around to save Senior Sister Hongfu. But from his tone, I could tell he was determined to die. His words sounded like he was making his final arrangements. Oh, and Master also asked me to give something to Senior Brother, along with a few words. The situation was too rushed at the time, and Master didn't have time to leave a communication jade slip, so he only asked me to relay it to you verbally."

"Give me?"

Mu Chunfeng let out a soft, hesitant sound.

His relationship with Li Huayuan was neither good nor bad; after all, they had only spent a short time together, and much of their bond had not yet been established.

Han Li nodded, took out a storage bag and handed it to Mu Chunfeng, adding, "Inside the storage bag are the cultivation materials that Master distributed to us disciples, as well as his lifelong collection of Core Formation insights and cultivation experiences, all of which I left for you, Senior Brother."

Mu Chunfeng reached out and took the storage bag. He scanned it with his divine sense to confirm that the contents were correct, and then casually hung it on his waist.

"What does Master want to tell me?"

Mu Chunfeng had already guessed Li Huayuan's intentions.

He left each of his disciples a set of resources, presumably so that they would remember their camaraderie and help the other disciples if one of them succeeded in forming a core.

Immediately afterward, Han Li relayed Li Huayuan's instructions: "Master said that he knows you are always cautious. Although you have the highest cultivation among your fellow disciples, you have always kept a low profile and concealed your strength. Since your master-disciple relationship with you is still relatively short, he has not been able to give you much help. If you can successfully form your core in the future, he hopes that you will take care of the other senior brothers and sisters out of consideration for your master-disciple relationship."

Hearing Han Li's words, it was exactly as he had expected.

A bitter smile appeared on his lips as he thought to himself, "Master, you must have said the same thing to Junior Brother Han, right?"

Mu Chunfeng recalled his past with Li Huayuan, their master-disciple relationship, with Li Huayuan being his first nominal master.

Moreover, Li Huayuan had treated him quite well in the past. Back then, when he received the mission to rescue Dong Xuan'er, he had suspected that Li Huayuan sent him on such a dangerous mission because he didn't care about him.

But the scene of Li Huayuan personally handing him the talisman for protection and his concerned instructions to be careful in everything kept flashing through his mind.

After a long while, Mu Chunfeng let out a long sigh.

"I see."

After Mu Chunfeng finished speaking, Han Li saw that he was lost in thought again and did not say anything to disturb him.

The two remained silent.

After a short while, Mu Chunfeng composed himself and turned his gaze to Qu Hun, who had been standing quietly behind Han Li, and asked, "Junior Brother Han, what is this?"

Upon hearing this, Han Li turned to look at Qu Hun, his expression slightly complicated, and slowly said, "This is an old friend of my junior brother, named Qu Hun. He was harmed by villains and turned into a corpse puppet. Now that he is leaving, I took him with me to fulfill our old friendship."

Mu Chunfeng nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

At this moment, Qi Yunxiao and Xin Ruyin walked in.

Mu Chunfeng had already noticed that the two had arrived outside the door. They did not disturb him and Han Li's reunion, and waited until the two had finished talking before pushing the door open and coming in.

Qi Yunxiao walked over with a warm smile, first greeting Han Li, and then the four of them sat around the table.

He couldn't help but exclaim, "What a coincidence! I never imagined that these two seniors would be fellow disciples."

Han Li smiled slightly: "Back then, I happened to see that Senior Brother also had the Reversal of the Five Elements Formation, so I knew that Senior Brother should also know Brother Qi. I just didn't expect that even Miss Xin knew Senior Brother."

"I only recently met Miss Ruyin, I didn't expect that Junior Brother Han already knew her."

Xin Ruyin smiled slightly as she listened to their conversation, and then the four of them began to talk quietly.

Han Li, unable to suppress his doubts, asked the question he most wanted to know: "Brother Qi, what have you done since you were chased by the Fu family last time? Why did I find many Fu family cultivators searching for you in the market a few days ago, including a Core Formation cultivator?"

When Qi Yunxiao heard that the Fu family had actually sent Core Formation cultivators to hunt him down, a bead of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He glanced at Mu Chunfeng beside him, paused, and said, "Senior Han, half a month ago, when I met Senior Mu, we were ambushed by a group of Fu family cultivators. With Senior Mu's help, the two of us managed to kill them all, which is why we have provoked the Fu family to do this..."

After listening, Han Li glanced at Mu Chunfeng in surprise. He hadn't expected that this matter was related to his senior brother again. Why was it always him who was unlucky?

However, Qi Yunxiao did not reveal that Mu Chunfeng had obtained the Fu family's clan-protecting spirit beast.

He is an honest man, but he is not incapable of thinking.

This matter is also considered Mu Chunfeng's personal privacy. Although the two of them are fellow disciples, casually mentioning this matter might displease Mu Chunfeng.

Then Han Li asked Xin Ruyin about the repair of the ancient teleportation array. He did not avoid discussing this matter with Mu Chunfeng, because Mu Chunfeng also had the array diagram and was here, so he had probably already entrusted Xin Ruyin with the repair.

The two were bound by a vow made by their inner demons and had to use the ancient teleportation array together. Han Li was naturally not afraid that Mu Chunfeng would abandon him, since he had never heard of any cultivator who was not afraid of the backlash from their inner demons.
