Chapter 246: Coming For Me??

That's right, the personnel hunting 【Giant-Headed Blood Hounds】 at the Ruoyunshi Ground all suffered massive casualties only because of the appearance of the Yang Void Strange.

According to those wounded, the Yang Void Strange seemed to merely be passing through, but it clashed with the gathered pack of 【Giant Beast Blood Hounds】.

In Fang Yue's mind, there didn't seem to be much difference between Gui Hunters and Gui Yi.

But they themselves are independent beings, with no possibility of peaceful coexistence.

After the conflict erupted, the rampaging 【Giant Beast Blood Hounds】 pack charged in, causing the hunters to suffer heavy casualties.

If the Giant Beast Blood Hounds' target hadn't been them, and they had only been incidentally injured during the fight, probably very few of them would have made it back alive.

After going through this incident, most of those wounded outside have developed psychological trauma. If Fang Yue weren't the Captain, they probably wouldn't want to mention anything about the Ruoyunshi Ground again.

They probably won't go hunting 【Giant Beast Blood Hounds】 again once their injuries heal.

But why would the Yang Void Strange tribe appear at the Ruoyunshi Ground... did they come looking for me?

Fang Yue recalled that he still carried the Yang Void Strange's curse on him, but he'd been staying in the village lately, living comfortably with Lao An, and hadn't taken the matter to heart at all.

After all, Mo Cun has an ancient formation protecting it. Even though a gap was broken open, the formation's deterrent power remains, so there's no fear of Xiao Guiyi.

Seeming to read Fang Yue's thoughts, the Blood Hunter sat up straight.

"Ye Ge, maybe they really did come for you."

"What do you mean?"

The Blood Hunter frowned slightly.

"I only heard this from others. They say that a few days ago, people kept spotting lone Yang Void Strange appearing near Mo Cun. But none of them attacked anyone, and some people couldn't even recognize the Yang Void Strange, so nobody paid much attention, thinking they were just passing Gui Yi.

But as time went on, the number of Yang Void Strange around Mo Cun didn't decrease but instead increased, gradually forming a tribe. Gui Yi that move in coordinated groups are already troublesome to begin with, and the Yang Void Strange aren't weak either, making them even more difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, once their numbers reached a certain scale, they began to disperse, forming small groups that acted independently.

Because of that, Mo Cun stopped sending people to monitor their movements.

No one expected that after the Yang Void Strange tribe broke up into smaller units, they'd be active at the Ruoyunshi Ground and even clash with the 【Giant-Headed Blood Hounds】 tribe.

And I... just suffered an undeserved disaster."

At the end of his words, the Blood Hunter let out a deep sigh.

Luck, sometimes, is just this bad.

One day earlier, one day later, and he wouldn't have run into this clash between the Gui Yi and Gui Hunter tribes, but he just happened to.

"My condolences..." Fang Yue also sighed, then said: "But from what you're saying, these Yang Void Strange shouldn't have anything to do with me."

The Blood Hunter gave Fang Yue a strange look.

"Ye Ge, don't you think the Yang Void Strange's original target was you inside Mo Cun? Don't forget your curse is still active, and it's far more intense than what An Shenyi and I encountered before. But Mo Cun has a formation, so no Gui Yi dares to enter the village and cause trouble. Unwilling to leave, they naturally lingered around the village, waiting for an opportunity."

Ah, this...

Fang Yue's heart skipped a beat. Hearing the Blood Hunter's analysis, it did seem like there was some possibility.

But...

"Just for one person, they mobilized a Yang Void Strange tribe of this scale? That doesn't seem likely, does it?"

The Blood Hunter shook his head slightly, only said one sentence—"Don't underestimate any kind of curse"—then lay back down.

"I'm tired. Let me be alone for a while."

Having just been told he'd become a cripple, the Blood Hunter's mood hadn't recovered yet; he was deeply shaken. Fang Yue could naturally understand.

Exiting the room to give him time alone, Fang Yue frowned in thought, then left An Shenyiguan and headed straight for the direction of the formation eye where Chief Captain Lang Wu was staying.

In no time, Fang Yue arrived at the place.

"Captain Ye, how are the wounded at An Shenyiguan?"

Chief Captain Lang Wu had just received firsthand information, and seeing Fang Yue arrive, immediately asked.

Fang Yue briefly described the situation at the clinic, then asked about the Yang Void Strange tribe.

If the Yang Void Strange really did come for him, then the problem was serious!

Fang Yue didn't want to stay in Mo Cun forever, but going back to the village with a 【curse】 on him—given the scale of the Yang Void Strange tribe the Blood Hunter mentioned—he'd be torn apart in an instant; he couldn't take a single step out of Mo Cun.

So the immediate priorities were: first, find out the Yang Void Strange's true purpose; second, find a way to resolve his own curse.

"The Yang Void Strange did indeed frequently appear near Mo Cun in the past few days, but no伤人 incidents occurred—they retreated from a distance whenever they saw people. Those who didn't know thought they were some harmless Xiao Guiyi. I've never seen this kind of intelligent behavior from Yang Void Strange before. To be accurate, I haven't even seen the Yang Void Strange many times myself.

But since the Yang Void Strange weren't hurting anyone, I naturally didn't pay much attention. It wasn't until their numbers increased that I considered sending people to clear them out, but before I could act, they began to disperse into small groups and scatter. You could say that not a single Yang Void Strange can be seen near Mo Cun now.

Given that, I naturally didn't take them to heart. Who would have thought they'd gather at the Ruoyunshi Ground and cause something like this."

As he spoke, Chief Captain Lang Wu showed a hint of guilt and regret on his face.

For a powerhouse of his caliber, a 【Postnatal First-Class】 realm expert, a 【Black Grade Initial Stage Gui Yi】 like the Yang Void Strange posed no threat at all.

If he had been more decisive back then, leading a team to deal with the 【Yang Void Strange】 tribe before their numbers piled up, the situation would definitely not have become this thorny.

"The Disciple that Lord Ni Dongmei has her eye on is probably in grave danger too..."

Chief Captain Lang Wu's words carried a hidden meaning, and Fang Yue raised an eyebrow.

"She has her own destiny. If she's truly fated to perish, then that's heaven's will."

When there was no danger outside, Fang Yue wouldn't necessarily go out to look for tails, let alone now that the 【Yang Void Strange】 tribe outside might very well be targeting him.

Going out now wouldn't be seeking death?

"I was just saying... your reaction is too strong..."

Chief Captain Lang Wu gave a dry laugh.

He wanted to curry favor with Lord Ni Dongmei, the Seven Elders of the Extreme Ice Sect, a person of high rank and great power. With her help in the future, Mo Cun would surely rise to the next level.

This was different from sects like the Blazing Flame Sect.

Sects like the Blazing Flame Sect only recruit disciples in the Heiqing Shanmai region. Apart from sending an Elder here for treatment over a decade ago, they never sent any high-ranking figures from the sect to Mo Cun again, basically drawing a clear line with Mo Cun and keeping things strictly business.

Chief Captain Lang Wu didn't know why people outside didn't dare to claim Heiqing Shanmai as their own territory. Maybe it was because of Lord Han, maybe because of Mo Cun's formation, or some other reason.
