Chapter 1808: Void Hunt, Nalan Family of Yongming City (2)

Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

He Ju married into the Nalan family and became an elite of the Nalan family’s younger generation.

This was a great opportunity for He Ju.

Without the resources of the Nalan family, He Ju would never have been able to reach the pinnacle of the eighth level.

But in return, He Ju had to pay a sufficient price.

He participated in the Void Hunts, and even served as the leader, with the highest potential for casualties.

That was the exchange.

This was also the reason why He Ju had not contacted the He family for so many years.

He didn’t want to involve the He family.

Because he wasn’t sure if he could survive the hunts.

For small families, the casualty rate in such hunts reached 60%.

Every 3,000 years, during the hunt, the major powers feasted while the minor powers bled dry.

“Void Hunt?” Han Muye looked at He Yangsun. “Do you want to participate?”

“The Void Hunt allows for the recruitment of external cultivators,” He Yangsun said in a low voice. “l promised Nalan Moran that I would go with him.

“Master Han, the Void Hunt is extremely dangerous. If I don’t come back, I hope you will look after the He family in Pagoda City.”

Even though He Yangsun was strong enough, he still wasn’t sure he could survive the Void Hunt.

There were too many uncertainties in the void.

Although He Ju left the He family, almost causing its demise, He Yangsun didn’t resent him.

At his current level of cultivation, He Yangsun could see that He Ju was also constrained by circumstances.

At this level of cultivation, blood ties were no longer the main factor; instead, emotional bonds might hinder future cultivation.

This obstruction might turn into a calamity when one’s cultivation reached the divine level.

To He Yangsun, meeting He Ju had become one of his obsessions.

“The location of the Void Hunt is in the Muyang Void, right?”

Han Muye said.

He had once seen the scene of the Void Hunt from the memories of a battle puppet from Yongming City.

Yongming City, Yonghui City, Ziye City, and Xingye City—the largest chaotic region surrounding the four Void Cities was the Muyang Void.

In the Muyang Void, there were countless void beasts, including powerful divine beasts.

Even the Void Cities couldn’t survive in that place.

Surrounded by endless void beasts, the city would eventually be breached.

Over time, only the void beasts would remain masters of this area.

Anyone from any faction who wanted to hunt void beasts would come here.

“When are you leaving? I happen to be free recently, so I’ll make a trip too,” Han Muye said, putting away the components he was refining.

His words startled He Yangsun.

“Master Han, the Void Hunt is extremely dangerous…” He Yangsun wanted to persuade, but then he thought, could any danger in the void stop this person in front of him?

“In three days.”

Three days later, Yongming City.

Nalan Moran looked excited as he led He Yangsun, Han Muye, Feng Jiutian, and dozens of other cultivators out of the teleportation square.

“Master Han, Big Brother, everyone, this is Yongming City.”

Yongming City wasn’t a powerful city in the void, but the alliance of several nearby cities made it relatively stable.

After all, it was a city in the void, and one could see lush vegetation everywhere after leaving the teleportation square.

The Fire-Origin Golden Ape, which carried Yongming City, was the source of the perpetual spring-like climate in Yongming City.

“The spiritual medicines produced in Yongming City are famous in the void.

“The Nalan family has quite a few alchemists.”

Nalan Moran hadn’t expected Han Muye to come to Yongming City.

He thought it was already a great surprise that He Yangsun had come with him to Yongming City.

He knew best about his big brother’s cultivation strength and background.

As for people like Master Han and Feng Jiutian, he hadn’t even dared to think about it.

With Master Han and Feng Jiutian and so many other experts accompanying them, the Nalan family would probably shine brightly in this Void Hunt.

Walking along the street, Nalan Moran personally introduced the surrounding scenery to Han Muye and the others.

“Eh, isn’t this the arrogant kid from the Nalan family? Has he returned from another city?”

A voice sounded not far away.

“Ha ha, this brat probably doesn’t dare to participate in the Void Hunt. Otherwise, why would he wait for the Nalan clan’s group to leave before returning?”

The other voice was filled with mockery.

These words stunned Nalan Moran.

Beside him, He Yangsun’s eyes revealed a trace of suppressed killing intent.

“Cao Xuhe?”

“You said the Nalan family’s team has already gone to the Muyang Void?” Nalan Moran raised his head, looking towards the young man in cyan robes ahead, and shouted.

Upon hearing his words, the young man laughed, “It’s been a day already, I’m afraid they’re all dead by now.”

Nalan Moran shuddered and turned to look at He Yangsun.

“Big Brother…”

He Yangsun waved his hand and whispered, “Let’s go to the Nalan family first.’

Since they were in Yongming City, they had to visit the Nalan family.

As for the matter of Heju and the others going to the Muyang Void ahead of time, it wasn’t something they could believe based on just one person’s words.

They hurried on, and within half an hour, they arrived in front of a large mansion covering 10 miles.

“13th Young Master?”

“13th Young Master is back!”

There were exclamations and chaos in front of the mansion.

Some people were running around to spread the news and others were rushing over.

The first to greet them was Elder Qin, the guard who had followed Nalan Moran to Yutao City.

“Young Master.” Elder Qin looked pleasantly surprised. When he saw Han

Muye, He Yang, and the others, he hurriedly bowed and said, “Greetings,

Master Han. Greetings, Young Master He.”

“Elder Qin, why did my father go to the Muyang Void ahead of time?” Nalan Moran looked at Elder Qin and asked in a low voice.

Elder Qin looked troubled.

“Moran, they found a second Void Divine Beast in the Muyang Void, and experts from the four major cities have all gathered there.

“The Void Hunt will start ahead of schedule.’

A voice echoed in the mansion, and a woman in a gray-blue dress walked out, her face gentle as she looked at Nalan Moran. “Mother,” Nalan Nioran whispered excitedly.

He Ju t s wife, Nalan Yunhui.

Nalan Yunhui looked up and saw He Yangsun.

“Humph, Nalan Moran, you have the nerve to come back.” Nalan Yunhui!s words had just started when a voice sounded from behind, a voice full of disdain.

A man in black armor, about 50 years old, stepped forward quickly, “How can my Nalan family have someone as cowardly and timid as you!’

Nalan Moran’s expression changed, but before he could speak, Nalan Yunhui had already turned around, her body covered in dark red armor.

She moved and threw a punch.

“Boom—n

The fist shadows turned into dragon shadows and directly collided with the chest of the old man in black armor, sending him flying more than 100 feet away.

The old man spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale.

“Nalan Ji, do you really think your old bones are worth anything in my Nalan family?”

Nalan Yunhui!s voice was low, and she held a long spear against the old man’s chest.

“Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill?”

The icy killing intent emanating from the long spear almost froze the old man’s heart.

“You, you—” The old man trembled in fear.

“Yunhui, don’t make a fool of yourself in front of the guests.” A voice sounded in the mansion, and an old man in white robes appeared in the courtyard.

“Patriarch, save me…” The old man lying on the ground muttered.

The old man snorted and looked at He Yangsun, Han Muye, and the others. He smiled and cupped his hands. “Nalan Hepu greets Master Han and Young Master He.

“Greetings, distinguished guests.”

Ever since Nalan Moran returned, he had already reported He Yangsun and Han Muye’s identities to the family clan.

Nalan Hepu had privately met with Nalan Moran to inquire about He Yangsun and Han Muye’ s situation.

The young master of the He family in Pagoda City, and Master Han, the wealthiest master of the entire Alliance of Refining Masters.

Because he knew about He Yangsun and Han Muye, Nalan Moran could move freely in the Nalan family and even quietly study at the Sun Cast City’s Sun Cast Academy.

Nalan Hepu did not tell the family clan about He Yangsun and the others.

For the families in the Void Cities, such distant relationships might not bring much assistance.

He hadn’t expected to meet such powerful visitors today.

The old man lying on the ground wore a bewildered expression.

This little guy from the Nalan family didn’t return before the Void Hunt began as he should have, and he should have been punished. But this situation seemed off…

“Please, come in, everyone,” Nalan Hepu said, bowing his head and gesturing..
