Chapter 895 - 831: The Eccentric Water Spirit

Have they found the Water Spirit?

Han Yu couldn’t believe that the remaining spirit body could be found so quickly.

According to the usual cliches, shouldn’t it be extremely difficult?

Or maybe make a grand entrance when he’s breathing his last.

At the very least, it should appear at a critical moment.

Quan Xiaotong couldn’t help but roll his eyes at him, jokingly scolding, "Do you think Central Continent isn’t deadly enough right now?"

Now that you mention it, it does make sense. And it’s not just Central Continent; he’s also in considerable danger.

This time, although both sides suffered due to the old grandmaster’s schemes, the final confrontation was Yi Xian risking his life.

But! He was the one who stirred things up. If he hadn’t destroyed the platform so thoroughly, the grandmaster’s plan probably wouldn’t have worked.

So, it’s quite possible that people from both sides might come looking to vent their anger on him any time.

Especially that petty Di Liuxin!

Han Yu hasn’t forgotten how Di Liuxin used him as a whetstone before. Di Liuxin might seize the opportunity to make him into fish on a chopping board.

Thinking about it this way, finding the Water Spirit right on time could enhance his abilities. Not to mention anything else, as long as he gains more strength for self-protection, he’d be content.

"Actually, it’s not that easy,"

Quan Xiaotong sighed at this notion. It was precisely because of the large-scale action by both factions this time that he dared to send out more cultivators to search.

With the Golden Spirit’s sheath... just find a general area, and then rely on the sheer number of people; it shouldn’t be too difficult after all.

What’s worth mentioning is where the Water Spirit was hiding.

"Guess where it is?"

Quan Xiaotong asked with a smirk.

Han Yu really couldn’t guess; these spirit bodies are weird in their own ways and could be anywhere.

What surprised Han Yu was that the Water Spirit’s hiding place was actually in the Bailu River.

Yes, in the Tianning Prefecture where the Bai Family once resided, a place Han Yu was quite familiar with.

Bailu River!

"Where you hid when the Qin Family was hunting you down."

Upon saying this, Quan Xiaotong couldn’t help but chuckle broadly, having thoroughly investigated Han Yu and knowing all his past deeds.

Han Yu was dumbfounded immediately. Does this mean the first spirit body he encountered wasn’t the Fire Spirit, but the Water Spirit?

"Damn it, what were the Artifact Spirits doing? It sank into the river back then, why didn’t it sense anything?"

Han Yu’s face turned dark. They boast about their strong sensing abilities every day but couldn’t detect a thing right beside them.

On this matter, Quan Xiaotong opened his mouth with a complex expression, "You’ll understand once you go see for yourself."

It’s still the Celestial Wave Crossing exclusive to the spirit bodies. Besides the curiosity of some powerful figures, the Artifact Spirit was mingling among them.

However, it was mingling uneasily with the spirit bodies.

The Fire Spirit and the others didn’t seem too keen on associating with it but also feared its strength, worried about getting beaten up again, staying reluctantly together.

When Han Yu and Quan Xiaotong arrived hand in hand, it was haughtily lecturing a pot of clear water, the scene exceedingly bizarre.

"I’m telling you, cooperate later, and after it’s done, hang with me. See those four spirit bodies? They’re mine, too."

The Artifact Spirit stood with hands on hips. If it weren’t in a spirit state, saliva would probably be flying everywhere.

Han Yu, hearing this, turned grim and directly lifted it onto his shoulder, snapping irritably, "You’re so full of yourself, talking to a pot of water."

The Artifact Spirit shifted to sit comfortably on Han Yu’s head, finally speaking, "I’d have to be insane to talk to a pot of water, that’s the Water Spirit."

What?

The Water Spirit?

Han Yu blinked in surprise at the pot of water, which looked utterly ordinary, and he couldn’t sense any divine techniques coming from it.

"Don’t bother straining; that’s how it was when brought back. In this form, you can’t perceive it at all,"

The Artifact Spirit, seemingly guessing Han Yu’s thoughts, commented from atop his head.

This kind of Water Spirit was the very situation the Artifact Spirit was most worried about appearing.

Among the Five Elements, water is formless and shapeless, and once the Water Spirit gets serious, it becomes the hardest among the five to find.

No one expected that out of five spirit bodies, four were oddballs, while the one expected to be eccentric played it straight.

Han Yu’s curiosity piqued, since it was discovered, what then?

Even using the Golden Spirit’s sheath would only indicate a general area, making it nearly impossible to locate tangled within Bailu River.

Xia Wuyou stood forth, smiling mysteriously, "We were just lucky. Among the cultivators who went that day, a few were female and happened to be pretty."

What does this have to do with female cultivators, and being pretty?

Does the Water Spirit have a thing for this?

Han Yu was astonished, while Xia Wuyou chuckled warmly, "You’ll see shortly."

Soon enough, the trio causing Han Yu headaches arrived. Judging by Xia Wuyou’s demeanor, it seemed he was the one responsible for this as well.

The three women, upon arriving, curiously looked around.

They, too, had been called over, told that the Water Spirit was found and their help was needed.

"Where’s the Water Spirit? Why can’t I see it?"

Qing Wan, the most restless among them, had already started chattering away impatiently.

"Go check that pot of water,"

Guided by Xia Wuyou, Qing Wan was the first to walk over to the pot, peering into it only to see her reflection in the clear water.

Suddenly, there was a splash as the water surged up, nearly scaring Qing Wan into falling onto the deck.

The mass of water twisted in mid-air before slowly settling down, drawing exclamations from the crowd.

A blue spirit form appeared suddenly, dressed in blue robes, elegant and charming, with an alluring countenance.

As soon as the Water Spirit stepped on the deck, it continually scrutinized Qing Wan before suddenly speaking.

"Who’s prettier, you or I?"

What?

Aside from those in the know, everyone else wore incredulous expressions, as if they had misheard.

Qing Wan earnestly scrutinized the other, comparing slightly before confidently raising her chin.

"Of course, I’m prettier."

No sooner had she spoken than the Water Spirit’s expression soured, and with a splash of water, it sent Qing Wan flying.

"Ouch!"

Qing Wan, caught off guard, was thrown against the ship’s side, getting a bump on her head, tears welling from the pain.

"Damn it, don’t stop me, I will deal with it!"

The Wood Spirit exploded in anger, ready to lift the entire pot of water with a cry like a deer’s call.

"Let it go, it’s fine, forgive it,"

Several other spirits quickly held it back.

Far from the lively scene, Han Yu stood dumbfounded.

Good heavens, asking such a bizarre question upon appearing was one thing, but losing and hitting someone?

"One of our female cultivators was hit like that at the time,"

Xia Wuyou explained.

Han Yu eyed him oddly. Knowing all this, why didn’t you warn me earlier?

The Wood Spirit, upon hearing this, abruptly changed direction and charged, colliding fiercely.

The three spirit bodies stepped aside collectively, not wanting to stop the fight.

With a thud, the entire ship shook with a tremor.

Xia Wuyou was fine, having dodged away.

The Wood Spirit collided with the ship’s side, meeting the same fate as its "daughter."

Fortunately, it was merely venting and didn’t use its real strength; otherwise, it would be in a worse state.

After a round of chaos, Han Yu finally posed the crucial question.

"How do we communicate with this thing?"
