Chapter 428: Awe-Inspiring Presence!
“Master, you’ve truly come!”
Seeing the familiar, celestial-like figure, Han Yue called out in excitement. Ignoring her injuries, she began slowly moving toward Gu He.
Having arrived through his projection, Gu He immediately assessed the situation. Upon noticing Han Yue’s severe injuries, his face showed a trace of concern.
In the next moment, Gu He raised his hand, releasing an extraordinarily gentle stream of Dou Qi.
The Azure Wolf King, seeing Gu He’s movement, assumed he was about to attack. Adding to its fear, it had overheard Han Yue referring to Gu He as her master, realizing she was his disciple.
Panic-stricken, the Azure Wolf King’s legs gave out, and it fell to its knees, repeatedly begging for mercy.
“Please, senior, have mercy! This junior acted without intent—please forgive me! Spare my life, senior!”
This sudden display of submission left the surrounding magical beasts utterly stunned.
They had assumed that as the ruler of this mountain range, the Azure Wolf King could at least retreat unscathed, even if it couldn’t defeat this mysterious figure. Yet the reality was far beyond their expectations.
If even the Azure Wolf King didn’t dare to entertain thoughts of escape, the other magical beasts immediately understood just how terrifying Gu He truly was. They quickly followed suit, bowing respectfully toward him.
On the Violet Demon Condor’s side, although it didn’t recognize Gu He, it sensed a faintly familiar aura from him. Coupled with Han Yue’s respectful address and demeanor, the condor realized this figure wasn’t an enemy and chose not to adopt a defensive stance.
However, seeing the chaotic cries and pleas of the magical beasts, Gu He’s expression darkened further.
“Another word out of any of you, and I’ll skin you all alive, pull out your tendons, and cook you!”

At his cold reprimand, the beasts immediately froze in fear. The noisy area fell into a deathly silence.
Among the beasts, none were more terrified than the Earth Devil Bear. After all, the injury on Han Yue’s body had been caused by it. At this moment, the bear’s heart was filled with extreme anxiety.
With the area quiet, Gu He turned his attention to Han Yue.
He raised his hand, sending a stream of Dou Qi into her body.
In an instant, the fragments embedded in Han Yue’s flesh were enveloped by the gentle Dou Qi and carefully extracted. Throughout the process, Han Yue only felt a slight numbness, with no significant pain. However, blood continued to flow lightly from the wound.
Seeing that Gu He was merely tending to Han Yue’s injuries, the Azure Wolf King and the other beasts secretly sighed in relief.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
“Han Yue, open your storage ring. I need to retrieve some medicinal herbs,” Gu He said gently after removing the fragments.
Han Yue immediately deactivated the soul link on her storage ring without hesitation, though her face turned a bright shade of red.
A young woman’s storage ring inevitably contained personal items, including clothing and other private belongings. Han Yue was no exception.
The thought that her master might see these items made her feel embarrassed.
However, Gu He paid no attention to such details.
Once Han Yue disabled the soul link, a trace of Gu He’s soul energy quickly entered the storage ring. Moments later, over a dozen varieties of herbs and fruits floated out of the ring.
These herbs and fruits hovered mid-air, suspended by an unseen force.
The next moment, a flame surged from Gu He’s outstretched palm.
The herbs were swiftly tossed into the blazing fire.
Amidst crackling sounds, the herbs were refined within less than a minute, with only their purest essences extracted.
With this step complete, Gu He’s soul energy split into seven or eight threads, meticulously guiding the light green medicinal liquids to fuse together.
Not far away, the Earth Devil Bear, which had been silently observing the situation, had a flash of determination in its massive eyes. It realized that the mysterious figure, Gu He, would likely not spare its life. Resolving to escape while Gu He was preoccupied with refining the medicinal liquid, it decided to flee and never return.
“Boom!”
Without any hesitation, the Earth Devil Bear turned and bolted into the distance. Its enormous paws thundered against the ground, creating a series of deafening rumbles that immediately drew the attention of everyone and every beast present.
Seeing this, Han Yue opened her mouth slightly, as if to say something. But upon remembering that Gu He was still in the middle of refining the medicinal liquid, she swallowed her words.
As the other magical beasts watched, some began to consider following the bear’s lead, believing it might successfully escape.
However, their thoughts froze in terror the next moment.
The massive figure of the Earth Devil Bear, which had been sprinting at full speed and was about to disappear from view, suddenly disintegrated into a cloud of blood mist without warning.
There was no sign of struggle or resistance. Even its bones and the magical core within its body were obliterated, leaving nothing behind.
“Gasp!”
The sight of this bizarre and horrifying scene sent shockwaves through the hearts of all the magical beasts. Their eyes were filled with unbridled fear.
A sixth-tier magical beast had been annihilated in such a strange and effortless manner. Just how terrifying was this man’s strength?
The Azure Wolf King, witnessing this, reevaluated its earlier assessment of Gu He’s power.
“This kind of person could probably kill me with the slightest flick of a finger,” the Azure Wolf King thought, shuddering inwardly.
Meanwhile, Gu He completed his work. Since he wasn’t concocting a pill but rather a medicinal liquid for healing, the process was much simpler and quicker. Within two minutes, a small cluster of emerald-green liquid, brimming with a rich fragrance, hovered above Gu He’s palm.
“Han Yue, turn around,” Gu He instructed gently after finishing.
“Alright,” Han Yue responded softly, nodding. She slowly turned her body, exposing her injured back to Gu He.
Gu He carefully tore a small portion of the fabric around the wound, revealing the white skin marred by the crimson scar.
Raising his hand, Gu He allowed the emerald-green liquid to flow in a controlled stream onto the wound. The liquid washed away the blood while its medicinal essence seeped into Han Yue’s body. The wound began closing at an astonishing speed, although complete healing would still take a few days.
“All done. Now tell me, what exactly happened earlier? Were these magical beasts the ones who caused your injury?” Gu He asked, glancing coldly at the beasts groveling on the ground.
“Sigh… what must come will come,” thought the Azure Wolf King.
Hearing Gu He’s question, the Azure Wolf King felt as though its scalp was about to split open from fear. Its limbs trembled uncontrollably, and it couldn’t suppress its dread.
