Chapter 259 – The Wind Moves
However, while Han Li was marveling, he was also a bit puzzled! This mesmerizing art, although Han Li is not proficient, but also know a little.
That cultivators are all proficient in the “eye of the sky”, in fact, can be regarded as the most basic mesmerizing spells. If the realm of mana between the two cultivators is very different, the use of heavenly eyes to look into the eyes of the other party, it is possible to make the other party’s mind lost, in the fight into passive.
It was the other types of mesmerizing spells that relied heavily on the huge difference in mana realms to forcefully control the opponent’s mind.
Dong Xuan Er is the cultivation of the early stage of Foundation Establishment, while the gorgeous man is the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, according to common sense that such a small gap can never appear a pair of eyes, immediately by the other side to restrain the absurd thing. Unless the other side is specializing in the cultivation of spells of the JieDan stage cultivator, this is still a few points possible.
But looking at that gorgeous man’s expression, as well as the expression of resentment when he left, this is not like that in the slightest! There is no way that it could be a JieDan stage cultivator pretending to be a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator to tease them.
Han Li thought this way, and only then did his heart really feel a bit more at ease. After all, the resentful expression on that voluptuous man’s face when he left was still very much on his mind.
When he raised his head from his contemplation, he happened to see Dong Xuan’er flirting with those two again, and the pathetic touch from earlier had long since disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this scenario, Han Li secretly sighed, once he got up, he was about to go back to his own house.
However, Han Li had only just placed his palm on the wooden door and had yet to push it open when he suddenly heard a man’s booming voice from outside the inn.
”Guests inside the inn listen up, the Treasure Raiding Conference to be held tomorrow is divided into two groups. Cultivators from this country will be held on the mountain peak to the west of Yan Ling Castle, while the cultivators from other countries will be held on the mountain peak to the east, please be on time early tomorrow morning, those who are not there when they are out of date will be considered to have automatically forfeited their right to give up the competition.”
This voice repeated three times in a row outside the inn before the person seemed to leave.
Han Li was stunned when he heard this, but then unconcernedly still pushed the door and walked out, returning to his house.
Separating the two countries’ cultivators to compete, Han Li was a bit surprised but didn’t perceive anything wrong with it.
After all, if the cultivators of the seven factions and the cultivators of the other country competed together. It would definitely cause a lot of trouble. This xenophobic mentality was the same everywhere. This could be seen in the confrontation inside the teahouse that day.
Han Li thought as he sat down on his bed with his knees crossed, preparing to meditate and refine his qi for the night so that he could make some preparations for tomorrow’s Treasure Raiding Conference.
……
Inside a certain residence in Yan Ling Fort, the voluptuous demonic man sat on a wooden chair, and in front of him were several other men and women who were respectfully reporting to him about something, while the man listened expressionlessly, with a glint of light flashing through his eyes from time to time. And somehow sneered.
……
Meanwhile on the western peak of Yan Ling Castle, a dozen or so green-robed men from the Ghost Spirit Sect were busy at the top of the mountain, burying something in the ground from time to time. While that Ghost Spirit Sect’s Young Master and the two JieDan stage cultivators were rising in mid-air coldly watching everything below.
”How is it? This temporary Yin Fire Formation has weakened so much, does it still work?” The Ghost Spirit Sect’s Young Lord suddenly opened his mouth and asked.
”Young Sect Master don’t worry! There’s absolutely no problem, although it’s only a temporary formation, but with our brothers presiding over it. The effectiveness of trapping the enemy can still be utilized one or two times. Of course if there is a late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator within the formation, or if they hold any magical weapon of particularly amazing power. It’s hard to say! But the vast majority of cultivators certainly don’t have the ability to get out.” The old man among the Li brothers coughed lightly a few times. Somewhat trembling, he said.
”Well, that’s something I’m relieved about! The Ghost Spirit Twelve Guards I brought behind me aren’t idle, with their strength they’re still more than capable of dealing with a few leaks!” The Ghost Spirit Sect Young Master said without any worry.
When the Li brothers heard this, they also felt that there was no problem and stopped speaking.
In fact, if it wasn’t for the need to keep these cultivators’ souls and Yuan Shen intact. It wouldn’t be a trivial matter for the two of his brothers to exterminate some of the Foundation Establishment cultivators if they were to directly strike. There was no need for such trouble! The two Li brothers thought proudly.
……
Ten thousand miles away within the secret chamber of the Yellow Maple Valley in the Taiyue Mountain Range, seven or eight JieDan stage cultivators were gathered together, listening nervously to what an old yellow-robed man with a white beard was saying, and everyone’s face was cloudy with the old man’s words.
Han Li’s master Li Huayuan, the Red Whisker Immortal Nun and that Lei Wanhe big fat man were among them, and their complexions were similarly uneasy!
It wasn’t long before the entire Yellow Maple Valley completely boiled over after the cultivators within the secret room walked out.
High up in the air, all sorts of transmitting notes were flying all over the place, while slightly lower down were waves of cultivators bustling about. After some more time, a team of hastily formed cultivators set off from within the Yellow Maple Valley overnight, running towards an unknown place in separate directions.
Such a scene, the same in the rest of the six factions staged, and between the various factions of the messenger is shuttling back and forth non-stop, it seems that overnight, the entire Yue Immortal Cultivation world has become a murderous atmosphere up.
And the country’s various large and small families in the days thereafter, one after another have received a letter signed by the seven sects of the head of the conscription order, to conscript the outstanding disciples of the family to standby, defied by the seven sects of the law enforcement team composed of monks, iron blood to extinguish the family.
Of course three days later to the Yan family recruitment order, naturally no one to pick up, then the Yan family has long been empty.
……
Han Li and the seven sects of cultivators within Yan Ling Fort were naturally unaware of this matter because they were too far away from the sect.
So on the second day when the sky had just begun to lighten, some of the cultivators had arrived early at the small mountain peak to the west. There, a huge spell formation had been built, and in the spell formation there were two middle-aged men wearing Yan Clan clothing who were meditating with their eyes closed.
In the back of the formation, there was an earthen platform that was not very high, and on the platform, there were also a dozen or so Yan family members who were hidden by the mist, standing there discussing something, and it appeared that they were waiting for all of the cultivators to arrive before starting the general meeting.
Han Li had also arrived on top of the mountain peak, and he didn’t come out with Dong Xuan’er, but habitually walked alone first. On the peak, he happened to run into the middle-aged man surnamed Ba of the Giant Sword Sect who had also arrived early, and the two naturally chatted about it without a word.
”Brother Ba, what is this spell formation for, do you know?” After Han Li surveyed the huge spell formation several times, he always felt that it was a bit of an eyesore, and after chatting for a while, he couldn’t help but ask the other party.
”Shame on me, I don’t know much about spell formations and such! But it is estimated that it should be something like a shroud prohibition or something like that! After all, if we Foundation Establishment Cultivators are really competing with each other, we definitely need to be restricted to a certain range, otherwise this small mountain won’t be able to withstand a few tosses from us!” Cultivator Ba stroked his chin and said carelessly.
”Oh! It’s indeed quite possible!” Although Han Li said this on his lips, he still vaguely sensed an uneasy aura from the spell formation, which could have nothing to do with the depth of his mana, and was entirely an intuitive sensation on his part.
Han Li frowned and looked around. At this time, there were already more than thirty cultivators present, and the pair of Taoist priests from the Qingxu Sect and the woman with the Fang surname from Tianque Fort and other people they knew had all arrived one after another, and had gotten together in groups of three or five to talk about something.
”Brother Han, let’s go over and say hello as well! Look at Wu Zi, they’re all there!” Cultivator Ba looked at where the others had gathered and suggested to Han Li with a smile.
”Brother Ba, just go ahead! Little brother still has some things to think about, so I won’t bother a few of you!” Han Li lightly shook his head, unwilling to go and gather with so many people, it was just a bit too eye-catching.
This Giant Sword Sect cultivator shrugged his shoulders, and although he was a bit puzzled, he still walked over alone. After all, the opportunity to befriend so many cultivators from his sect at once was not something that came along very often. He wouldn’t easily give it up.
Seeing that the Ba Surname opponent had walked away, Han Li didn’t stay in the same place himself, but habitually found a very remote corner that was farthest away from that spell formation and walked over. Then he coldly watched the other cultivators’ every move.
After another half an hour, Dong Xuan’er and that Senior Brother Feng finally came to this place as well. And as soon as they arrived, they joined a crowd full of Yellow Maple Valley cultivators, and in a short while, they were like fish out of water with the several male disciples. And that originally did not move an inch from its side of the Yan Yu, but there was no trace, which made Han Li feel a little surprised.
At this time, the ten or so cultivators standing on the earthen platform who wore Yan Clan clothing but were actually from the Ghost Spirit Sect were counting the number of people present.
”Young Lord, there are still two less people who haven’t arrived. And it’s already getting late, should we wait a little longer?” After counting the number of people, a Ghost Spirit Sect cultivator, reported to the Ghost Spirit Sect Young Lord.
”There’s no need to wait any longer. Immediately notify the second old man to open the grand formation, otherwise as time passes, I’m afraid that some resourceful cultivators will notice that something is wrong, and that would be even worse! As for the two cultivators who didn’t arrive, the eighth and twelfth of the twelve guards will go after them. No matter what they didn’t show up for, but we can’t let them leave Yan Ling Fort alive!” The Ghost Spirit Sect Young Master ordered to without any hesitation at all, killing intent overflowing.
