50: Chapter 0050 Encountering Yunzheng Again

Yun Zheng.

Qian Siyue's Disciple, why would she be here? And where are the other Foundation Establishment Cultivators?

Gu Huan did not dare to be careless. He used his Divine Sense to search every corner of the flying boat wreckage, and after confirming there were no Foundation Establishment Cultivators, he steered his leaf-like flying boat into a rapid dive.

Ahead was a grassy plain.

Bordering it not far away was a forest.

The bows of two flying boats had collided, and wreckage was scattered everywhere. Some parts remained intact, embedded in each other as if they were a single unit.

Yun Zheng, with her petite figure, was struggling to climb to a high point on the wreckage. Behind her was a pack of black wolves with glinting, predatory eyes, their animalistic instincts driving them to try and leap onto the flying boat.

"Get away!"

"Don't come any closer!"

Yun Zheng activated an Flame Explosion Talisman and threw it into the wolf pack, instantly blowing up several black wolves with low cultivation.

However, her actions did not scare off the wolves; instead, they provoked the leader's fury. A wolf demon as large as a calf leaped up, stepping over its companions to reach the deck first, and immediately pounced toward Yun Zheng.

Although the latter had a cultivation at the sixth level of Qi Refining,

She lacked actual combat experience.

Furthermore, because Qian Siyue had protected her too well, she had basically never encountered such a perilous situation.

Seeing the ferocious wolf demon pouncing to kill, she was so terrified that she forgot to activate her talismans and simply threw them all out in a heap.

The wolf demon was cunning.

It dodged quickly.

Seeing that nothing happened, it bared its teeth and charged again, wanting to kill its prey immediately.

"Don't come over!"

"Help!"

Yun Zheng's face turned deathly pale with fright, her slender legs trembled and went weak, and she slumped down on her buttocks, eyes tightly closed, covering her face with her hands.

At this desperate moment, a Cultivator in green descended from the sky. A Demonic Flame Art flew out and struck the wolf demon with precision, and the terrifying purple demonic flames instantly consumed it.

"Begone!"

A roar, infused with the supreme majesty of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, rippled through the wolf pack like a wave, deafening them.

The leaderless wolf pack fled in panic, some even dying of fright on the spot.

The dense mass of wolves quickly dispersed, running toward the nearby forest.

"Are you alright?"

"Gu Huan! Waaah!"

Gu Huan turned around to look at Yun Zheng. Hearing the roar, she had instinctively opened her eyes, and upon seeing the familiar face, she could no longer suppress her emotions, tears streaming down her face.

A young girl in her early teens.

She was even younger than Chen Yuanyu. She stood up and hugged Gu Huan's waist, crying like a pear blossom in the rain.

"Stop crying for a moment. Where is your master? Why didn't she take you with her when she left?"

Gu Huan patted Yun Zheng's head, soothing her to wipe away her tears. He could not understand why the flying boat had crashed, all the Foundation Establishment Cultivators were missing, and only Yun Zheng had been abandoned, nearly getting torn to pieces by the wolves.

If he remembered correctly,

Among the three people, there was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator who coveted Yun Zheng; there was no reason to leave her here unattended.

"Master, she..."

After some time.

Gu Huan roughly understood what had happened.

It turned out that on the day they fled, they were attacked by three Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Qian Siyue had used all her skills but still couldn't shake off the pursuit. The flying boat was severely damaged and was bound to be destroyed and shot down sooner or later.

Immediately after.

She unexpectedly turned the flying boat around and crashed it into Huang Zhonglei's flying boat.

The two flying boats had no way to avoid each other, eventually ending up in their current state, with wreckage scattered everywhere and severe damage.

Although the flying boats were destroyed, the four of them were Foundation Establishment Cultivators and easily avoided the danger. At that moment, Qian Siyue suddenly attacked, using a brand-new Talisman Treasure, the Nine Bends Seal, to kill an unknown Foundation Establishment Cultivator on the spot.

However.

Using a Talisman Treasure consumed a massive amount of energy.

Qian Siyue was outnumbered and even more worried that Yun Zheng would fall into the hands of the villains, so she chose to ride a Magical Artifact and leave alone.

Huang Zhonglei and Yang Zhanzhou were unsure if Yun Zheng was alive or dead, and they coveted the power of the Talisman Treasure, so they could only abandon one side and prioritize chasing Qian Siyue.

Afterward.

Yun Zheng woke up from her coma to find the wreckage of the flying boat surrounded by a wolf pack.

They had finished eating the corpse of the Foundation Establishment Cultivator and, smelling Yun Zheng's scent, were unwilling to leave. They tried everything to board the flying boat. The two sides had been at a stalemate for several days before the wolf demon leader finally broke through.

If Gu Huan hadn't arrived in time,

She would have certainly been torn to shreds.

Of course.

Yun Zheng could not have known the truth of what happened while she was unconscious; it was a rough deduction Gu Huan made based on her previous observations.

For instance, the corpse of the unknown Foundation Establishment Cultivator had indeed been picked clean by the wolf pack.

Bloodstains remained at the scene, and in the stomach of the wolf demon leader, there was flesh that the demonic flames could not temporarily incinerate.

So the situation at the time was very likely as Gu Huan had deduced.

"Gu Huan, can you help me rescue my master?"

"I'm very worried about her."

Yun Zheng held back her tears, but her eyes couldn't help but turn red as she asked cautiously.

Although Qian Siyue was harsh and strict with her, a master was still a master, and this kindness could not be forgotten.

"I cannot."

"Why?"

"Because neither you nor I know where she is. Therefore, I can only send you back and report this matter to the Sect. As for her, it will depend on her fate."

Yun Zheng bit her lip.

She let go after a moment.

"Do you think she will die?"

"From the current situation, she is likely still alive because those two men didn't come back for you. So, you'd better report to the Sect as soon as possible to request aid; perhaps that can help her."

"I understand. I'll go back with you immediately."

Gu Huan nodded.

He summoned his flying boat, a small leaf that could just fit two people.

...

A few days later.

Gu Huan and Yun Zheng returned to the Hehuan Sect and immediately went to see Hall Master Su Hongyun.

Learning that Qian Siyue's fate was unknown, she took Yun Zheng back to Hehuan Peak without a word. That same day, several Foundation Establishment female Cultivators spontaneously went to the rescue.

The world is vast.

Life and death are unpredictable.

Gu Huan found Hall Master Su Hongyun's assistant, Lin Xiaotang, to secretly sell a large and complex amount of cultivation resources.

This woman was once again deeply shocked by Gu Huan; she had never seen a Hehuan Disciple sell such a massive amount of resources at one time.

"Here are your Spirit Stones, please take them."

"Mm!"

Gu Huan nodded.

He collected the Spirit Stones.

His Divine Sense swept over the Storage Pouch; his total Spirit Stones had reached 12,000.

He was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and owned two Top Grade Magical Artifacts, so High Grade Magical Artifacts had become less important. He decided to get rid of them all, and as for low-level cultivation resources, except for Medicinal Pills, he sold everything else as well.

"Senior Brother, please wait. Have we met somewhere before?"

"We met last time, didn't we?"

"Not last time, I mean even longer ago. I have some impression of you, I just can't recall it."

"Is that so? Then I wouldn't know."

Gu Huan smiled, turned, and left the Auction Hall, his cultivation controlled at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

...

Hehuan Peak.

Qin Yao's Immortal Cave.

"Congratulations to Master for breaking through to the twelfth level of Qi Refining. Attaining the Dao and Foundation Establishment is just around the corner."

"I owe my current cultivation to you. After I reach Foundation Establishment, I will grant you one wish, provided it is within my power."

Qin Yao was happy.

She was all smiles.

At the twelfth level of Qi Refining, she was guaranteed a spot in the top thirty-two of the Grand Competition, and a foundation establishment pill would be within her reach.

"Is that true? Any wish at all?" Gu Huan was overjoyed.

"Of course it's true. Could Master's words be false?" Qin Yao gazed at Gu Huan, her jade-like cheeks couldn't help but redden. She was becoming more and more satisfied with, and more and more fond of, this Cauldron.

After Foundation Establishment.

No matter what kind of excessive request he made.

As his Master, she should reward him fiercely! Satisfy him fiercely! Make him feel fiercely good!
