Chapter 341 The protagonist's unique tendency to cause trouble

Looking at the three women trembling on the flying boat, Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

This is what it means to cultivate immortality in the underworld!
Low-level cultivators are as worthless as grass in front of high-level cultivators, and even cultivators of the same level are scheming against each other, with undercurrents surging. In the darkness, the struggles are no different from those of mortals.

Given the treacherous nature of the cultivation world, it's no wonder that Han Li is so cautious and discreet.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu's consciousness turned his head and looked at the ordinary-looking young man in the cave.

At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged on a jade futon, his eyes closed, his consciousness seemingly detached from his body and descending upon the tall figure opposite him.

Without a doubt, this figure was Qu Hun, who was in the process of forming his core.

Under Lin Yu's protection, Han Li was not affected by the outside world and was even unaware of what was happening outside.

His mind was completely absorbed in the process of forming the core, and he focused intently on refining the spiritual objects that would help him form the evil core.

While refining the spiritual object, Han Li used the "Five Internal Organs Fire" technique that he had previously obtained for free.

It must be said that this flame is indeed more powerful than the innate true fire that Foundation Establishment cultivators can generate with their magic power.

In the original novel, it took Han Li nearly a year to help Qu Hun form the Demon Core.

But now, in less than three months, he has refined all the spiritual objects, and is only one step away from successfully forming his core.

Finally, after about fifteen minutes, the vortex of spiritual energy above the nameless island seemed to have absorbed enough spiritual energy and began to gradually dissipate in the magnificent glow of the sunset.

The dark thunderclouds then dispersed, revealing a clear blue sky, as if the clouds had parted to let in the sun.

Similarly, Han Li in the underground cave opened his eyes, his gaze fixed intently on Qu Hun, who had already formed his core. A feeling of indescribable relief and joy welled up in his heart.

After three months of secluded cultivation, he not only broke through that thin membrane and successfully entered the late stage of Foundation Establishment, but also Qu Hun successfully formed a Demon Core under the influence of various spiritual objects.

From then on, he could be considered a cultivator with the strength to form the Core Formation stage!

Of course, the method of killing pills is, after all, a demonic art that requires quick results, and it has the flaws and hidden dangers of not being able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.

However, the same approach of overdrawing potential results in an increase in combat power.

Although Qu Hun is only at the initial stage of Core Formation, his true combat strength is by no means inferior to that of other cultivators who have been in the Core Formation stage for many years.

That's enough for Han Li!
"Pah~pah~pah~"

Applause rang out in the underground cave, followed by Lin Yu's insincere congratulations: "Congratulations! After three whole months, you've finally succeeded in forming your core!"

"..."

Han Li was already used to Lin Yu's teasing, and immediately said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I must thank you for your help, senior. Without this blazing Five Internal Fire, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to refine all the spiritual items within three months!"

At this point, he suddenly paused, as if he had realized something, and looked up in surprise.

"Senior, why are there people on this island?"

"Oh, is that so..."

Lin Yu told Han Li what had just happened.

Upon hearing this, Han Li's first reaction was surprise at the appearance of these two groups of people.

"Isn't it?"

"People actually come to this remote and impoverished place?"

Han Li looked surprised, but then he frowned and pondered whether he should abandon the island and choose a more secluded cave.

After all, Core Formation cultivators are not considered weak in the Chaotic Star Sea.

If this gets out, I'm afraid many people with ulterior motives will come knocking on our door in the future...

Lin Yu noticed his expression and immediately realized what he was thinking.

"Don't even think about it!"

Lin Yu rolled his eyes, then looked at him irritably and said, "Aren't you just worried about the location of your cave being exposed? Why don't you just kill those three elders from the Xuan Guang Sect?"

"..."

Han Li thought about it and felt that this was not a bad idea.

After hearing about the plight of Jiang Wanyuan, Yao and the others, he felt quite sympathetic towards the three women.

With this connection, it would be perfectly legitimate for him to kill these three people.

The only problem is that a considerable amount of time has passed since the three escaped, so chasing after them is definitely out of the question. The only option is to go to Golden Hairpin Island and wait for them to come to them...

Just as Han Li was thinking this, Lin Yu seemed to see through his thoughts and chuckled, "Don't worry, those three Foundation Establishment cultivators haven't gone far. They only ran a hundred miles before stopping."

"He's probably still thinking about the three girls on the island and plans to come back in a while to check on them..."

Oh?
Han Li's eyes lit up, and he immediately turned to look at Qu Hun.

The next second, Qu Hun leaped into the air and transformed into a streak of blood-red light, flying out of the cave.

The three women on the nameless island quickly stood up and were about to bow to the escaping light when they suddenly noticed the color of the light, and their recently calmed emotions became uneasy again.

The reason is simple: this crimson light exudes an indescribable eeriness, much like the characteristics of a certain demonic cultivation technique.

If that's the case, then wouldn't the two seniors who lived in seclusion on this island be demonic cultivators?
Thinking of this, the beautiful woman's face turned pale, feeling as if she had just escaped one danger only to fall into another.

Fortunately, the crimson streak of light ignored them. After flying out of the cave, it turned in mid-air and flew straight towards the direction where the three Foundation Establishment cultivators had fled.

Before long, Qu Hun flew a hundred miles away on his crimson escape light and saw the three Foundation Establishment cultivators hovering in the air, seemingly discussing something in hushed tones.

Without any hesitation, Qu Hun flew towards the three without any concealment. The three seemed to have already confirmed that the surroundings were safe, and did not look up until the whistling sound reached their ears, at which point they finally realized that something was wrong.

The leading Foundation Establishment cultivator suddenly looked up and saw the signature light representing the Core Formation stage; his expression immediately changed drastically.

"Senior, wait—"

"Pfft!"

Before he could finish speaking, a streak of emerald green sword light suddenly appeared, tracing arcs in an instant and piercing the chests and foreheads of the three Foundation Establishment cultivators.

In the blink of an eye, three cultivators at the early Foundation Establishment stage died on the spot.

Blood splattered from the three corpses, and the emerald green sword light suddenly veered and flew back into Qu Hun's palm, transforming into a jade-colored short sword.

This sword is called the Green Radiance Sword, and it is the magic weapon of the Core Formation cultivator from the Spirit Control Sect who previously possessed Qu Hun's body.

After Han Li killed it, the treasure came into his possession and became his first magic weapon since he began cultivating immortality.

However, due to the restriction imposed by the Core Formation cultivator of the Spirit Control Sect on the magic weapon, and because Han Li's cultivation had not yet reached the Core Formation stage, it had been stored in his storage bag and could not be used to fight.

Now, Qu Hun has formed his core, and Lin Yu has removed the restrictions on the magic weapon.

Han Li then handed this treasure to Qu Hun so that he could maximize his combat power as a Core Formation cultivator.

Faced with a Core Formation stage cultivator who possesses a magical treasure, the three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were naturally powerless to resist.

Qu Hun waved his sleeves expressionlessly, taking away all the magical artifacts and storage bags of the three Foundation Establishment cultivators before releasing flames to destroy their bodies and eliminate all traces.

After a series of practiced steps, the three Foundation Establishment cultivators vanished from the world.

Without pausing, Qu Hun instantly transformed into a beam of light and flew towards the nameless island.

After some time, the crimson light once again streaked across the sky above the nameless island.

The three women on the island perked up and were about to bow in respect when they saw the crimson light descend from the sky, disappearing into the ground without stopping and vanishing without a trace.

"..."

Yuan Yao and Yan Li looked at each other in bewilderment.

The beautiful woman sighed softly and continued to wait on the island.

Meanwhile, Qu Hun had already returned to his cave with the remains of the three Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Han Li habitually took the storage bag and began to check the three people's belongings.

Unfortunately, these three came from minor sects and, unlike Han Li, did not encounter opportunities everywhere, which resulted in their storage bags being extremely meager.

Han Li searched through his storage bag but couldn't find a single thing that caught his eye.

Lin Yu, who was standing nearby, walked over and picked up a black token from a pile of miscellaneous items. He examined the ghost-head pattern on the token with great interest, seemingly quite interested in it.

Han Li's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately asked, "Senior, have you discovered something?"

Lin Yu examined the token from all angles, seemingly lost in thought, and said, "Actually, it's nothing much, it's just that the patterns on this token look somewhat familiar, like I've heard of them somewhere before..."

He paused for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Wait, could this be the Reverse Star Token?"

Han Li quickly pressed on, asking, "What is the Reverse Star Token?"

Lin Yu casually replied, "It's a token representing the Reverse Star Alliance."

As he spoke, he seemed to have figured something out, and clicked his tongue in amazement, saying, "No wonder the Xuan Guang Sect has suddenly become much stronger and its ambitions have grown so much. It turns out they have secretly joined the Reverse Star Alliance!"

Han Li asked in confusion, "What is the Reverse Star Alliance?"

Lin Yu smiled and said, "As the name suggests, it is an alliance against the Star Palace."

"The Star Palace has a long history and has ruled the Chaotic Star Sea for many years. Other major forces are naturally unwilling to accept this, so they secretly united long ago to prepare to establish the Reverse Star Alliance and overthrow the Star Palace's rule in one fell swoop!"

However, as far as Lin Yu knew, the Reverse Star Alliance was still in the preparation stage.

A small force like Xuan Guang Sect, whose strongest member is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, should not be taken seriously by the Reverse Star Alliance, let alone obtain a Reverse Star Token that would expose the existence of the Reverse Star Alliance.

Just then, Lin Yu noticed another clue—

This token does not contain any spiritual power!
Moreover, compared to the Reverse Star Token in the original work, the ghost head pattern on this token looks quite rough, unlike an identity certificate issued by the Reverse Star Alliance, but rather a crudely made counterfeit...

Thinking of this, Lin Yu couldn't help but show a strange expression.

Could it be that the Xuan Guang Sect heard about the Reverse Star Alliance and the Reverse Star Token from somewhere, then imitated and created them, pretending to have joined the Reverse Star Alliance, in order to swindle resources and support from related forces?
It shouldn't be that bad!
Lin Yu shook his head, thinking that there couldn't possibly be such a foolish force in the world.

Compared to this absurd idea, another guess is more plausible—

That is, the Xuan Guang Sect is actually a subordinate force developed by a member of the Reverse Star Alliance. The reason for issuing such a token is mainly to allow other forces in the Reverse Star Alliance to identify their identities and avoid accidentally harming their own people.

Regardless of the truth, losing the token is an extremely serious mistake for the Xuanguang Sect.

Once news of the three men's deaths reaches the sect, the Xuan Guang Sect and those behind them should be in a panic.

If nothing unexpected happens, someone will come to investigate this place soon...

Thinking of this, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh, thinking to himself that this was the protagonist's unique trait of causing trouble!

Even if you sit still, major events that affect the entire Chaotic Star Sea will come knocking on your door!

After his reflection, Lin Yu raised his hand, patted Han Li on the shoulder, and smiled as he looked at Han Li with a puzzled expression:
"Having finally advanced to the Core Formation stage, how can I possibly have only one magic weapon to rely on?"

"Listen to me, stay here a few more days, and I guarantee that kind-hearted people will travel thousands of miles to deliver the magic treasure to your door!"
