“In this battle, was there anything overlooked apart from the divine soul?”

Han Yi again reviewed his calculations several times, confirming that his handling of the situation was optimal, and that nothing had been overlooked, before dismissing the thought.

What followed were uneventful days.

Seven days later.

The jade ring emitted a green glow, and Han Yi swiftly left the forest. Above in the sky, a massive Immortal Boat was already suspended in the void.

Several cultivators who had arrived before him were also waiting to be picked up. Seeing Han Yi, they flickered their eyes but did not approach for a conversation. Han Yi found a spot and quietly waited.

Subsequently, people kept emerging from the forest. A quarter of an hour later, the Master Golden Core descended and led everyone onto the Immortal Boat. The boat turned into a ray of light and flew towards other islands.

Three days later, the Immortal Boat collected everyone and returned to Stars Sea.

On board the Immortal Boat, the Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivators from Xuandan Sect who were participating in the Evil-slaying Union had gathered together. However, they were fewer in numbers than those who set off, dwindling down to the trio; Han Yi, Zhao Ruida, and Shi Lengyan.

The trio exchanged glances, a silence of mutual dread prevailing.

Undoubtedly, the missing Fei Qing and Su Yan, barring any unforeseen circumstances, had met their demise. If not slain by an evil beast, they had been killed by other cultivators.

Two out of five had died, with such a high death rate that no wonder even Yuan Shun, the head of the Xuandan Sect, and Supreme Elder Zhuge Wu You, had warned of the dangers of this journey.

When the Immortal Boat arrived at Stars Sea, Han Yi and the others came across cultivators from the Blood God Sect on their way back to the courtyard.

Eight Blood God Sect disciples, including two legendary ones, had also participated in the Evil-slaying Union, but when they met again, Han Yi saw none of them. Among the missing was the legendary Zeng Zixuan.

The people from the two sects exchanged glances. Although the murder intent was hidden, no one directly acted. After all, they were in Stars Sea, deciding not to act rashly in face of this underlying relationship.

“Strange, where is Xue He? Did he die?”

Zhao Ruida raised an eyebrow, first in confusion, then with a cold laugh.

“Good riddance. The Blood God Sect of this generation only has two legendary Qi cultivators. The death of one would seriously damage them.”

Shi Lengyan also showed confusion: “But who could have killed Xue He?”

“Rumors say that Xue He was even stronger than the former Blood God Sect’s Han Xuxiao. Even if he encountered another legendary Qi cultivator, even if he couldn’t win, he could retreat easily.”

“The only explanation is that he ran into a Demon Cultivator.”

“I heard that this time, there was a Demon Cultivator called the Huohuang Evil wreaking havoc in many islands. Perhaps Xue He ran into that Huohuang Evil.”

At this point, Shi Lengyan’s face also turned cold. The death of a cultivator from the Blood God Sect was, naturally, cause for joy for the people of the Xuandan Sect.

Back in the courtyard.

The trio exchanged a few more words.

“How were your gains this time, Junior Brother Han? Your cultivation base seems to have improved. It appears you should have advanced to the advanced ninth level.”

Zhao Ruida looked at Han Yi and asked with a stir in his heart.

Han Yi nodded: “Yes, I have gained a lot, quite a lot.”

Just by slaying the Huohuang Evil, the gains were already significant. Gu Xi Monarch had said it counted as a great achievement, and Han Yi was somewhat expectant.

As for revealing his strength by killing the giant beast and the trouble it might bring, all those concerns were insignificant in the face of death when the giant beast appeared next to Han Yi.

Moreover, he simply had no other option at that time.

“This time, I was first assigned to the seventh island. After killing five ninth-stage evil beasts, that island was already thoroughly swept clean. So, I had to go to the eighth island… in total, I must have slain thirty-seven ninth-stage evil beasts.” Zhao Ruida counted..

Shi Lengyan also tallied the total of evil beasts he killed: “I killed three evil beasts on the thirty-sixth island, one of which possessed supernatural power. Then, I moved around seven or eight nearby islands, killing a total of twenty-three evil beasts. Once, I encountered a beast on the verge of transformation and was forced to flee. Luckily, I came across a legendary disciple from the Chi Xiao Sword Sect. That legendary disciple fought the evil beast and eventually slew it.”

After saying this, Shi Lengyan and Zhao Ruida both looked at Han Yi.

Han Yi paused for a moment before saying, “I started on the nineteenth island, killed three ninth-stage evil beasts, then went into seclusion for a year and a half. After that, I went to the eighteenth island, then I came back.”

“Just three ninth-stage beasts?” Zhao Ruida asked surprisedly.

Han Yi nodded. The Huohuang Evil didn’t count as a ninth-stage evil beast because it had become a Demon Cultivator. Therefore, theoretically, what he said wasn’t wrong.

However, he didn’t want the fact that he could kill a Demon Cultivator to spread. Also, telling them he killed the Huohuang Evil would only be half-true. The final attack of the evil spirit was blocked by the Nascent Soul Monarch. Otherwise, the outcome could be unpredictable.

Shi Lengyan looked at Han Yi in a strange way, but didn’t say anything.

The trio talked a little more, then each went back to their rooms.

Half a month later, the cultivators who had ventured into the deep-sea region returned. Zhuge Wu You had brought five Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators with him, but upon their return, there were only four..
