340 Where Is Yuchi?
On the way back to the fox race’s territory, the clan leader tried to suppress the shock in his heart.
“Damn it!”
“If he doesn’t tell me, then how am I supposed to know?”
“I’m giving him so many gifts so that I can get the information and help I need to keep my race safe, yet all he does each time is give me irrelevant information.”
“If I had known, I would have been able to deal with this situation better.”
The clan leader was filled with intense lingering fear. It was like walking past the gates of hell and ringing the doorbell.
Thankfully, no one had done anything stupid to anger Yuchi.
Now, he finally understood how the dragon-phoenix race had been annihilated. This senior had provided his assistance to the Saintess.
It all made sense now.
That flame was definitely something Yuchi had created!
‘It seems that the dragon-phoenix race annoyed Senior Yuchi.’
After he had heard the Tiandu division chief’s description of Yuchi, he gained a rough understanding of Yuchi’s character.
He was someone quite amicable, and would not treat others coldly if approached kindly.
However, if one took an antagonistic approach when interacting with him, the consequences were dire.
“I reckon he used the Saintess to annihilate the dragon-phoenix race in order to avoid any trouble and to keep us from disturbing his daily life.”
“Since the ancestor is around, I’ll go and ask him where Senior Yuchi is.”
“This is a good opportunity to form a good relationship with Senior Yuchi. I’m sure that the ancestor will want that too. After all, Senior Yuchi might be able to guide the ancestor in terms of cultivation.”
It was really good news. Being friends with such an expert was simply an unbelievable privilege.
When the clan leader reached the city, he first told the Saintess about his findings.
Hu Yiyi reacted in the same way the clan leader did. She was completely and utterly shocked.
She stood motionless and clutched the corners of her garment tightly, her fingers turning white. She unconsciously gazed in the direction of the sea from time to time.
“I didn’t expect him to be the one to have helped us, nor that he was such an important person. He seemed like an ordinary person…”
Dao heart realm?!
Sure, she had heard of it before, but she had no real understanding of what it represented.
There were countless cultivators in this world, yet only a handful reached the Dao heart realm. Each one of them were peerless existences, and all of the major races did their utmost to earn their favor.
“So the source of that flame wasn’t me, but this senior.”
“He saved us from the dragon-phoenix race and annihilated them…”
Hu Yiyi stood there quietly. Her eyes betrayed her confusion and shock.
Then, the clan leader asked her, “So where is this senior now? Regardless of what happened, I still have to talk to him and acknowledge his kindness.”
That was how things were.
Although Yuchi might not be bothered about this, they had to express their gratitude.
Hu Yiyi shook her head.
“Senior Yuchi was fishing in the Ancient God Sea, but then the ancestor brought him to the holy land to take a look.”
“In the past one or two months, I haven’t heard any news about Senior Yuchi. Maybe the ancestor knows where he is.”
The clan leader understood and immediately went to look for the ancestor.
Hu Yiyi also chose to decisively follow the clan leader.
…
Hu Guhai had just completed another cultivation session.
Although he was nowhere close to breaking through to the Dao realm, he was gratified that his cultivation was still improving.
When his strength had reached the limit of the Dao essence realm, he would go to the sea heart to try to absorb it.
“Alright, it’s about time to collect the Heavenly Dao spiritual liquid.”
“It should have accumulated quite a bit during this period of time, perhaps two or three drops.”
Then, just as Hu Guhai was to leave, the clan leader and Hu Yiyi arrived, bowing respectfully as they greeted him.
“What is going on? What’s the matter?”
Hu Guhai restrained his inner dissatisfaction and then looked at them kindly.
