When Liu Le 'er saw Han Li return to the flying boat, she hurriedly went to greet him with some worry.
The battle just now wasn't small. This little fox girl had never seen such a battle before. Although she saw her "Brother Stone" easily win, she couldn't help but feel some lingering fear.
Han Li gave her a warm smile and lightly shook his head, indicating that she didn't need to worry. He then put away the storage pouch in his hand.
Without a master to control it, the hunchbacked old man's golden pagoda quickly shrunk and spun as it descended.
Gu Yunyue waved her hand and took the golden pagoda into her hand. She looked at the nearby Han Li and saw that he didn't have any intention of stopping her. She relaxed and put the golden pagoda into the storage pouch at her waist.
This golden pagoda magic treasure was quite powerful and was able to trap others. If she could take it for her own use, she would have another trump card in battle and her strength would greatly increase. However, the Wind and Cloud Twin Demons were killed by Han Li after all, so the spoils of war should belong to him. Fortunately, Han Li seemed to tacitly approve of her actions.
"Just now, it was all thanks to Friend Han's help.
I originally knew that Fellow Daoist was no ordinary cultivator, but I didn't expect to greatly underestimate your strength. "
Gu Yunyue composed herself and walked in front of Han Li. Although her expression was calm, there was a trace of awe hidden in the depths of her eyes. How could it be hidden from Han Li?
This woman knew that even if she were to face the horse-faced Youth alone, she wouldn't be able to kill him as easily as the person in front of her. Even his Nascent Soul wouldn't be able to escape, let alone a late Nascent Soul stage hunchbacked old man.
"Those two wanted my life, so I naturally had to send them on their way." Han Li said with a faint smile.
Yu Menghan, who was next to Gu Yunyue, pursed her lips and revealed a bit of the charm that a young girl should have. However, when she looked at Han Li, her eyes were filled with awe and confusion.
In her mind, her Shizun was a true immortal. In front of her Shizun, even Spiritual Master White Stone, who even her father had to treat with respect, did not dare to breathe too loudly. However, this tall and sturdy young man in front of her, who was dull and lifeless when she first met him, now displayed a powerful strength that even her Shizun could not hope to match.
The current Han Li was like a fog to her. Although she was standing next to him, she felt as if she was separated by a galaxy.
"I thought we could avoid the Tengui School's pursuit after leaving Toyokuni. I didn't expect them to come so quickly." Gu Yunyue sighed.
"This is nothing. After all, this is currently the Tengui School's sphere of influence." Han Li said indifferently. There wasn't much worry on his face.
"As long as we enter the Leng Yan Sect's sphere of influence as soon as possible, we should be able to get rid of the Tengui School's entanglement."
Gu Yunyue nodded, but her face suddenly stagnated slightly. She looked at Han Li with a strange gaze.
Although it was just a flash, it was seen by Han Li.
Han Li's expression didn't change, but he was quite depressed in his heart. In the battle just now, he only slightly activated his body protection aura, and the result was that his spiritual power fell from the Nascent Soul Intermediate Stage to the Early Stage.
Gu Yunyue should have noticed the change in his aura, so he naturally wouldn't bother to explain anything.
… …
In the depths of a cave house in the Tengui School, in a deep secret room.
There were a dozen thick torches inserted on the walls of the room. The bright yellow flames trembled at the top, illuminating the entire secret room.
In the middle of the secret room, in front of a round stone table, sat a skinny old man with white hair and a black beard. He was wearing an ochre robe. One of his hands was placed on the stone table, and the other hand was tapping on his knee rhythmically.
The bridge of his nose was high, and his eyes were deep in his eye sockets. He stared straight ahead, and his wrinkled, thin, and long face looked gloomy under the light of the fire.
And directly in front of him, a bronze mirror the size of a human head was floating in the air. The figure of a hunchbacked old man was reflected in the mirror. It was the person who survived the Wind Cloud Duo.
The old man in the bronze mirror was already hunchbacked, but at this moment, he was even more hunched. His entire head was completely lowered, and he didn't dare to raise it at all.
The skinny old man stopped tapping and asked, "So, not only did you two not bring back the person for me, but you also lost one?"
His voice was abnormally hoarse and seemed very rough.
The hunchbacked old man's body clearly trembled, and he hurriedly replied, "Reporting to Martial Uncle Qi, it's not that this disciple is incompetent, but that person is simply too powerful and strange.
In the beginning, he seemed to have deliberately concealed his aura and appeared to be no different from a mortal.
But when he suddenly attacked, he suddenly became a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator. Before I could clearly see his movements, the twelve bone tridents were taken by him, and then … "
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the skinny old man, "His cultivation is lower than yours, but he easily took away your magic treasures?"
"Yes … yes.
Not only that, but his body is also extremely powerful. The ghosts in Junior Martial Brother's Hundred Ghost Portrait are like paper and clay statues compared to him, and they were reduced to dust by a single collision.
Even the Bone Devouring Yin Needles were devoured by him, and he chewed them to pieces. "The hunchbacked old man's body trembled, and he spoke with lingering fear in his heart.
Hearing this, the skinny old man's fingers tapped his knee again, and he seemed to be deep in thought.
The hunchbacked old man didn't dare to raise his head, but seeing that the skinny old man didn't speak for a long time, the fear in his heart grew. He couldn't help but kneel on the ground and say with a trembling voice,
"Martial Uncle Qi, what I said … Everything I said is true. I didn't exaggerate or lie in the slightest."
The skinny old man was still speechless. After a while, he slowly said, "According to what you said, this person is most likely an extremely rare high level Strength Cultivator. He is indeed not someone you can deal with.
Forget it, you don't need to worry about this. "
With that, without even looking at the hunchbacked old man, he casually waved his long sleeve in the air. The image on the copper mirror immediately darkened and disappeared.
"You dared to kill my Hao 'er. So what if you're a high level Strength Cultivator?
I will still tear your skin and bones apart to bury my Hao 'er's soul. "The skinny old man suddenly sat up straight, and his expression was ferocious as he spoke through gritted teeth.
After a while, his gaze once again fell on the copper mirror, and he chanted. He formed a seal with one hand and pointed at the copper mirror in the air.
Suddenly, the surface of the mirror rippled like water, and then another picture was revealed.
In the image, a rather sturdy middle-aged man was hovering in the air above a verdant forest. He stroked his short beard with one hand and asked with a smile, "What do you think?
He stroked his short beard and said with a smile, "Brother Qi, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Why did you suddenly send me a message today?"
"Brother Lu Ya, I won't be exchanging pleasantries with you today. I really have something to ask of you," the skinny old man said in a low and hoarse voice with a serious expression.
Seeing that he wasn't joking at all, the sturdy man also stopped smiling and asked solemnly, "What's wrong? What happened?"
The skinny old man sighed and told him everything about Qi Minghao and the Twin Killers of Wind and Cloud.
"Bastard, how dare you kill Brother Qi's descendant. You deserve to die!" The sturdy man named Lu Ya snorted after listening to the story.
"I'm currently in the sect and can't leave for the time being. Brother Lu, you're near Toyokuni, so I hope you can kill this person on my behalf," the skinny old man said in a low voice.
"Strength Cultivators mainly train their bodies, and they can easily crush ordinary cultivators. However, it's extremely difficult to cultivate and break through bottlenecks.
This person can cultivate to a high level, so I'm afraid he's not an ordinary person? "Lu Ya thought for a while and asked.
"According to the disciples, this person is a new outer sect elder that the Leng Yan Sect plans to recruit. He hasn't officially entered the sect yet, so you don't have to worry too much about him.
As long as you kill this person for me, I'll give you my Origin Spirit Pill as thanks. "The skinny old man looked deeply at Lu Ya and said in a low voice.
A trace of joy flashed in the sturdy man's eyes, but he quickly concealed it and said, "Since that's the case, I'll take this person's life on behalf of Brother Qi."
The skinny old man suddenly thought of something and said with a gloomy expression, "That's right, don't kill that girl with the surname Yu. It's best if she can bring her to me alive."
