Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2586 Inescapable Cause and Effect
Baiqiao said he would arrange the spiritual vein matter immediately and then left, as he wanted to personally oversee the matter.

Only then did Qu Jianlei have time to look at Han Li.

He asked with a strange expression, "How much did you drink to get so tipsy? That's a clear sign of being distracted! Do you think the two of us can handle this?"

"It's just about becoming a deity through incense offerings," Han Li replied dismissively. "I also have my own divine treasures!"

He paused, then asked again, "Don't you ever think about what might happen if that divine human-faced bee... turns its attention to the empire?"

"Damn it," Qu Jianlei clicked his tongue, "I've noticed you've changed; you're becoming less and less polite!"

“This is called filling in the gaps,” Han Li replied dismissively. “Can you really sever all ties with the empire?”

"Tsk," Qu Jianlei clicked his tongue and said nothing more.

Severing causality is not an easy task; even with the ability to lift oneself up, one still stumbles and falls hard.

And his entanglement with the empire is not something that can be stopped at will.

Three days later, Jin Ge arrived with a group of cultivators from Lingyun, numbering four to five thousand.

Most of them were skilled in various arts of cultivation and were obviously there to work.

Qu Jianlei spent two days arranging these people and informing them of the specific ideas and tasks.

Then the three of them set off again, embarking on a journey to another world.

Although they were already very familiar with the route, the three of them did not dare to slack off at all and kept their minds on high alert the whole way.

This passage to another world has never been peaceful.

There are now rumors that the human-faced bee that has split into multiple forms has also set its sights on the cultivators' way home, warning everyone to be careful.

It's not appropriate to discuss the Divided God Lord casually, but since they're already at the point of no return, it's not a problem to talk about it.

However, the four of them did not encounter any accidents on their way here—that's right, another True Venerable Yugiri was added to the group.

Qu Jianlei strongly suspected that Han Li's constant hiding of the Cold and Beautiful True Venerable in his cave meant their relationship was probably...

Forget it, it's none of his business to worry about other people's private affairs.

When we arrived at the Asura camp, everything was fine, but once we reached the Tree Clan's camp, the atmosphere became noticeably more tense.

Upon seeing the four reinforcements arrive, the cultivators' spirits noticeably lifted.

The famous five-person group, who doesn't know them? And the most famous among them are Qu Jianlei and Han Li.

Although these two haven't come for a long time, information from Houde Realm will still be transmitted!
For most cultivators, after working hard outside, they still want to return home in glory.

Who wouldn't care about what's happening back home?
News of Qu Zhenzun killing the True Venerables of the Hundred Friends Merchant Alliance in Houde and Han Li True Venerable forcibly seizing the Divine Transformation level treasure has spread.

As long as it comes from a virtuous cultivator, there is no one who doesn't applaud it—everyone is out there working hard, who wants their home base to be destroyed?

That is why, when the front lines are really struggling, the cultivators hope that these two will come to their aid!

The information provided by the camp is that this human-faced bee has been harassing cultivators extremely frequently over the past two years!

Why emphasize the last two years? Because the human-faced bee has been around for seven or eight years now!

In previous years, the human-faced bees mostly avoided the cultivators.

After analysis, everyone concluded that it was probably just that it had become distracted and was still quite timid.

But later, as it gradually gained control of its power, it began to appear more and more frequently.

Fortunately, the cultivators were alert in time, and so far, there have been no particularly serious casualties.

Even so, dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators have died at its hands, and two True Soul cultivators are seriously injured and on the verge of death.

Such formidable destructive power has left everyone in the cultivator camp feeling insecure.

Houde sent over a dozen True Venerables one after another, which stabilized the situation somewhat.

In recent years, the true masters have been traveling back and forth, running around tirelessly to put out fires, and many people have been injured.

Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei and Han Li couldn't help but exchange a glance: That's it?

They had encountered many demigods and half-step demigods, and had a relatively intuitive understanding of how terrifying demigods could be.

With a casual flick of his finger, he could kill three or five True Venerables as easily as playing a game.

This split-faced bee has only injured some True Venerables, but no one has died. This is obviously not right!
Just then, Minning heard that the two of them had arrived, so she hurriedly returned as well.

This meticulous and calculating guy was actually the last one standing guard for the five-person team in the other world, which was truly remarkable.

He offered his opinion: "This guy probably hasn't fully mastered the Nascent Soul realm yet; his strength fluctuates."

In Min Ning's view, the strength of the human-faced bees varied each time they were deployed, but none of them should have reached the standard level of the Divine Transformation stage.

But why does everyone think it's a distraction? Because the aura of a distracted spirit can't be hidden from others!
Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment before asking, "Have cultivators from the other three realms ever been ambushed?"

It's not that he has a dark mind; rather, he has seen even darker things, but he just wants to eliminate one option.

However, Min Ning instantly understood that when it came to playing the Machiavellian card, Qu Zhenzun was far inferior to him.

“This one…” he thought for a moment and said, “It feels like it’s more composed and doesn’t like to reveal its hand.”

It all boils down to one word: "survival"!
Qu Jianlei wasn't surprised. The Zerg were the true originators of the strategy of developing stealthily; humans had all borrowed from them.

But with this level of intelligence, why is he getting more and more agitated? He couldn't quite figure it out.

That's right, he didn't think the human-faced bee was stupid at all.

How could someone with a metal head like Jin Ge, who can even leave his body and advance to the Divine Realm, be stupid?
But there's no need to think about that now. He pondered for a moment and then asked, "How many valid injury records?"

This would normally be a normal question, but something is definitely not right right now—is the Divine Lord so easily harmed?

“At most… once, or twice?” Min Ning answered hesitantly.

In fact, he believes that it is very likely that it never happened even once; otherwise, would this camp still exist?

Qu Jianlei roughly guessed his subtext, so he asked again, "Then why does it recede each time?"

He usually gets a general idea of ​​the situation through divination, but in the current situation, there is a great risk in making random calculations.

Minning stated that each time, multiple True Venerables would arrive and launch an attack before the enemy would withdraw.

Fortunately, most of the True Venerables who come to this other world have extremely powerful combat skills, so it is entirely possible that they could inflict minor injuries on their opponents.

The problem is that the opponent is a clone; the slight damage from a clone is really nothing.

Moreover, the incense-based deity system excels at healing damage; as long as there is enough incense, it's not a problem.

Therefore, the "effective damage" that Qu Zhenzun asked about might actually not exist.

There wasn't much other useful information, and it seemed that the cultivators here were in a rather passive position.

Qu Jianlei's final question was: Is there any trace of this divided spirit, or any corresponding clues?

He stated that he would not engage in divination, but hoped to find a way to locate the man.

While the group was communicating, True Venerable Qingkong heard that they had arrived and rushed back with two True Venerables.

Those two had just arrived from Houde, specifically targeting the Divine Insect Clan.

The Great Protector stated that there was a trace of the human-faced bee's aura and two bee hairs hidden in the camp, but both were sealed.

It's truly terrifying when the cultivation world mobilizes; the Lingyun Sect's foundation is undeniable.

Being able to seal these things is already quite impressive. The fact that the camp dared to collect them clearly indicates that they believe they have a certain defensive capability should the enemy attack.

The Divine Human-Faced Bee has never actually attacked the camp; at most, it has appeared twice at a distance of over a billion kilometers.

This distance was quite close for a distracted being, but it didn't move any closer, probably because it sensed the potential danger.

Regarding Qu Jianlei's desire to obtain the aura, Qingkong offered a suggestion—why not take a bee velvet?

This information, which was obtained through a moment of distraction, was collected with great difficulty, at the cost of several True Venerables being injured, and even more Nascent Soul cultivators dying or being injured.

It was only because Qu Zhenzun and Han Li arrived that he made this exception. Their strength was widely recognized; otherwise, he would never have made this exception.

—What if a great lord arrives in the future and wants to obtain information, but the camp can't provide it? Wouldn't that be terrible?

Moreover, possessing distracting items is extremely dangerous and not something an ordinary person can handle.

These three items were kept tightly sealed even in the camp, with no one daring to reveal their presence.

Otherwise, if that insect thinks this is a deliberate provocation, the consequences... will be at least very troublesome!
Qu Jianlei entered the heavily protected array, retrieved a sealed bee velvet, and placed it in his cave.

Qingkong Zhenzun looked at him, then at Han Li, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Can you keep him in check?"

He knew that Qu Zhenzun had some inexplicable special skills, but when it came to sheer strength and having more trump cards, he favored Han Li.

"Pretty much," Qu Jianlei replied with a smile, "Then let's not display it at the campsite, let's go somewhere else."

Since Mount Ling was currently idle, he put it away and prepared to leave with the Three True Venerables of Hanli.

"Wait a minute," Qingkong hesitated for a moment before saying, "Count me in."

Seeing this, Minning Zhenzun also expressed his willingness to join the battle.

The other two True Venerables looked at each other, wondering what was wrong with these two.
The Great Protector of the Sky has been searching for the Divine Insect Clan for more than half a year, and has only just missed them each time. It is now necessary for him to take a break.

Min Ning's reaction was even stranger; most of the time, he was unwilling to go out and confront that distracted creature head-on.

He was the only remaining True Venerable among the five, representing the other four in overseeing and auditing various expenses, though no one forced him to fight.

But this time, he actually volunteered for the mission, which is really...unusual!
These two True Venerables were well aware that Qu Han and his companion were incredibly powerful, but they shouldn't blindly trust them to this extent, right?
You must know, those were genuine Divine Transformation Insectoids, which had severely injured several True Venerables.

To their even greater surprise, Qu Zhenzun said, "Why send so many people? We also need to keep an eye on the camp!"
