Chapter 790: Is Hu Lei Imprisoned on Luo Fu Immortal Vessel—and Is There More to the Story?

The video continues.

【This is the place.】

【According to the Judge, this area has not yet been reclaimed—proceed with caution.】

Lingsha guided them with smoke.

Leading Dan Heng and Jing Yuan to a location for investigation.

【I recorded the nature of the drugs consumed by the Bu Li people in this incense burner.】

【Following the scent of the medicine, we should be able to identify traces left by disguised Bu Li people.】

Stelle: "What's this automatic navigation incense burner?"

Stelle: "Isn't this incense burner a magical artifact?"

March 7th: "That's incredibly amazing."

March 7th: "I've never seen an incense burner like this before!"

Yunli: "You've misunderstood."

Yunli: "This function isn't from the incense burner—it's from the smoke beast inside."

Yunli: "Miss Lingsha keeps a smoke beast shaped like a rabbit inside her incense burner."

Paimon: "Smoke beast?"

Paimon: "What's that?"

Paimon: "Can smoke become a living being?"

Lingsha: "Yes, regarding it as a living being is perfectly acceptable."

Lingsha: "This little thing has many useful functions for me."

Qingque: "So isn't this still a magical artifact?"

Qingque: "Is that smoke beast its spirit core?"

Qingque: "Hmm, how interesting."

Qingque: "If I could awaken a spirit core in my Diyuan Qiongyu, I'd never lose a game again!"

Stelle: "Cheating, are you?"

Stelle: "That's not your style, Qingque!"

Qingque: "Of course not!"

Qingque: "A card game is a card game—if you cheat, what's the point?"

Qingque: "I was just joking, that's all."

The video continues.

The three began following the smoke.

Deepening their investigation.

【Such astonishing power... the killer shattered this Wu Bian's bones with a single blow.】

After walking a while,

Lingsha approached the body of a fallen Wu Bian,

Examining it closely.

【This brute strength could never be achieved by an ordinary Bu Li person... it must be Hu Lei.】

After a moment of thought,

Jing Yuan deduced the killer.

【Forgive this humble one for asking, but is the Bu Li person truly this ferocious?】

Lingsha knew little of Hu Lei,

And could not help asking.

【I've lived longer than Miss Lingsha, and have experienced more battles.】

【To the Alliance, the Bu Li people have always been the most troublesome enemies.】

【And Hu Lei is a monster even the Bu Li people fear.】

【He single-handedly united numerous hunting packs, gathered vast armies of Feng Rao demons, and repeatedly drove Alliance forces into desperate situations.】

【Over seven hundred years ago, I accompanied my master on a campaign against the demons, and witnessed firsthand the devastation after that beast descended upon the battlefield.】

【Even after taking pills to suppress the fear of wolf poison, countless Yun Riders were so terrified by his ferocious aura that they couldn't even raise their hands to fight back...】

【Had the former Sword Master not sealed Hu Lei's movements with frost-blades, the outcome might still have been uncertain.】

【At the end of that great battle, only a handful of survivors remained.】

【The crimson moon hung low, blood sprayed everywhere... all that remained before my eyes was a sea of crimson.】

Xiangling: "My goodness, was it that terrifying?"

Xiangling: "Could Hu Lei alone slaughter an entire army?"

Ying: "From General Jing Yuan's description, it was clearly a one-sided massacre."

Ying: "Hu Lei's peak strength must have been unimaginably powerful."

Stelle: "Hu Lei, a Feng Rao demon that can't be killed by sheer numbers, is truly terrifying."

Welt: "Primarily, the endless Feng Rao energy grants him immense power."

Welt: "That's what allows him to slaughter endlessly on the battlefield without tiring."

Himeko: "To fight such an enemy, you must find a way to deliver a single fatal blow—otherwise, you'll suffer devastating casualties..."

Sushang: "Fortunately, the current Hu Lei is in a weakened state."

Sushang: "Otherwise, I can't even imagine what Luo Fu would become if Hu Lei were at his full strength..."

Boothill: "That shouldn't be the case either — with the combined strength of three Generals, could they still not suppress him?"

Boothill: "No matter how tough he is, he hasn't reached the point where he can thrash a Emanator, has he?"

Boothill: "Otherwise, the entire universe would have been conquered by the Abundance followers long ago!"
