Chapter 59 Dwarf
He looked somewhat familiar with this person.
It seemed to be the same man in official robes I had seen not long ago. What a coincidence that he lived next door.
Yu Huai thought for a moment, then clasped his hands in a fist salute and said:
"It's nothing, and besides, we'll be neighbors from now on, so it's only right that we help each other out."
Oh?
Upon hearing Yu Huai's words, Huang Xun was slightly taken aback, glanced at the open gate of the neighboring courtyard, and said:
"I see. My name is Huang Xun, an official of Xiyun City. Since we are neighbors and you have helped my daughter, I will surely repay you in the future."
Yu Huai also gave his name and chatted with him for a few more minutes.
Upon learning that Yu Huai was from out of town, Huang Xun was slightly taken aback and actually spoke up to advise him:
"Brother Yu Huai, you must be of noble birth to be able to rent this large courtyard. You should leave as soon as possible! Xiyun City is not peaceful right now."
"Thank you for reminding me. I know a thing or two about this matter. I am alone and have even learned some martial arts, so I am not afraid of that villain."
Yu Huai replied with a smile.
Martial arts?
What's the use of having the best martial arts skills?
That villain was someone even the immortal sent from above couldn't deal with.
Seeing Yu Huai like this, Huang Xun wanted to persuade him again, but before he could speak, his daughter ran over, tugged at his clothes, and looked at Yu Huai.
Ugh.
These scoundrels are only targeting children now, so this person should be safe here too.
Seeing this, Huang Xun thought to himself, and said nothing more. Instead, he took his daughter's hand and looked at Yu Huai with a smile:
"This is my daughter, named Huang Yi."
As he spoke, Huang Xun lowered his head and said to Huang Yi:
"Xiaoyi, hurry up and thank them."
"Thank you, brother."
Huang Yi bent down and said politely.
Looking at Huang Yi's lovely face, Yu Huai smiled and nodded, then chatted with Huang Xun for a few more minutes before saying goodbye and returning to their rooms.
After returning to his house, Yu Huai first released Xiao Qing, who had been feeling cooped up for a long time, and fed it a few demon beast pills. Then, taking advantage of the fact that his cultivation entries for the day were still available, he began to cultivate.
There are no spiritual veins here, and the spiritual energy is scarce.
If Yu Huai were to rely solely on his mid-grade spiritual root for cultivation, he would not make any progress.
Fortunately, he has a green cultivation entry today, and with the remaining Qi Gathering Pill, he can still improve his cultivation here.
And so, night fell.
The full moon hung high in the sky, and as night fell, Xiyun City became even more silent.
suddenly.
Yu Huai suddenly opened his eyes from his cultivation, sensed a fluctuation of spiritual energy, and hurriedly ran outside to look at the next room.
Then they saw that Huang Xun's courtyard was covered by a layer of black mist, which was faintly drifting towards his courtyard, as if it would also cover his courtyard.
What's going on? A formation?
It should be a low-grade, first-tier maze.
Yu Huai had studied array formations for a long time and easily recognized that the black mist was the result of an array formation.
Could it be that person has his eye on Huang Xun's daughter next door tonight?
Yu Huai suddenly thought of the little girl who had thanked him not long ago, and his expression turned slightly cold.
He didn't want to meddle, but on his very first night here, he ran into trouble. What's more, the black fog was already enveloping his courtyard, threatening his safety.
As long as the opponent is not a Foundation Establishment expert or a Perfected cultivator, he can fight against them.
Although he had already decided to take action, Yu Huai was not about to recklessly rush into the black fog without even knowing where the people were.
He glanced at Xiaoqing, who had already woken up.
Xiao Qing is quite a powerful fighter, so let's bring her along.
Yu Huai pondered to himself.
Xiaoqing knew what Yu Huai was thinking.
Although somewhat reluctant to return to the space of the demon beast bag, it did not resist knowing that Yu Huai wanted to use it. Under the encouragement of Yu Huai's spiritual power, it transformed into a green light and entered the demon beast bag.
After taking one last look at the swirling black mist, Yu Huai concealed his cultivation aura completely using the [Silver Ring], then used the Green Bamboo Step to leap onto the rooftop and gaze at the entire city.
After just one glance to confirm his guess, Yu Huai breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems he has a better understanding of formations.
The black fog did not cover the entire city; only a few nearby courtyards were covered by it.
Squeak!
Just then, the gate to Huang Xun's house suddenly opened, and Yu Huai crouched down warily, looking up at the open gate.
Immediately afterwards, he saw a short figure walk out of the courtyard gate.
It wasn't Huang Yi, but a man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face, wearing a brown robe. He was probably a dwarf, and he was carrying a huge sack on his back that seemed out of place with his body.
The sack must contain the children who were abducted tonight.
Yu Huai thought to himself, then checked the man's aura again.
His cultivation level was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, even lower than his.
This surprised Yu Huai quite a bit.
He had thought the other party would be a cultivator at a later stage or even a perfect stage.
Unexpectedly, this person was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining.
Could this person have accomplices?
Yu Huai looked at the dwarf man with doubt in his heart, but did not make a move immediately, deciding to observe him for a while longer.
Let's see what this person is up to by kidnapping children from the city.
After leaving the courtyard, the dwarf man glanced at the courtyard rented by Yu Huai, and a banner appeared in his hand. With a slight wave, the black mist that was originally above Huang Xun's courtyard all flowed towards this place.
Seeing this, Yu Huaiqing used her bamboo-walking technique to leap off the roof and into another courtyard next door, without attracting the attention of the dwarf man.
Once the black mist covered the entire courtyard, the dwarf man pushed open Yu Huai's courtyard gate.
Not long after.
The dwarf man left Yu Huai's courtyard with a complaining expression, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and muttered:
"This should be enough, let's go back!"
As he spoke, he waved the banner in his hand, the black mist dissipated, he put the banner away, and slowly walked towards the city gate with the sack on his back.
Yu Huai took in the whole scene and followed.
This dwarf man was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining. Unless Yu Huai jumped out himself, he would have a hard time detecting Yu Huai's presence.
Yu Huai followed the dwarf man out of Xiyun City, into a forest, and continued walking forward.
I don't know how much time passed.
The dwarf man arrived at the entrance of a cave, glanced left and right to make sure no one was following him, took out a banner, stuck it at the entrance, and then went into the cave.
As soon as he entered, a cloud of black mist covered the entrance, concealing the place.
However, what the dwarf man didn't know was that a pair of eyes had been watching everything he did.
This should be where this person lives.
Yu Huai hid behind a large tree, gazing at the black fog ahead.
This black mist is merely a low-grade, first-order formation.
He could easily break it.
It seems this person has no accomplices.
This person is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, yet he has caused panic throughout the city.
Cultivators pose a great threat to mortals.
No wonder cultivators attacking mortals is considered a demonic act and is despised by people.
Now that he knew this man had no accomplices and that his cultivation was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, Yu Huai no longer hesitated and decided to break the formation by force, kill the dwarf man, and rescue the child he had kidnapped.
