Chapter 315 – Backhand, Suspicion
At the end of the night, Han Li quietly slipped out of the house, and without greeting anyone, the person flew alone towards the Imperial City in the direction of the Royal Vessel.
Standing on the Divine Wind Boat, Han Li looked at the dark behemoth in front of him, the huge Imperial City gate, and with a slight smile, the person flew straight through.
To Han Li, what was said about the seven sects’ ban on any disciple setting foot in the Imperial City was not something he took seriously at all. He would only abide by ordinances that were favorable to him, otherwise trying to restrict his hands and feet based on an empty phrase was simply absurd!
He had never been an obsequious person.
As Han Li laughed coldly in his heart, he had already flown over a hundred feet into the sky above the palace.
Through the darkness of the night, Han Li silently looked around for something, his eyes sweeping towards the remote and inconspicuous place. Suddenly bright, the person flew toward an imperial garden full of bamboos.
To the bamboo forest in the air, Han Li cautiously looked around, before converging on the body of the aura, slowly landed down.
Han Li was well aware that although the Black Fiend Sect’s people controlled the entire imperial palace, it was impossible to place eyes everywhere. And even if there were so many sentries, he was not afraid that the people of the Black Fiend Sect would be able to spot him with his grandly accomplished Nameless Qi Convergence Skill.
What’s more, from that little prince’s mouth, he had long since gotten a clear picture of the Black Fiend Sect’s usual sentry arrangements. Even with the changes now, as long as he didn’t trespass on some heavily guarded vital places, Han Li was quite relieved!
And here obviously belongs to the palace within the corner of the fast forgotten, not only the bamboo forest is full of dead branches and rotten leaves, vaguely emanating the smell of decay, and branches and leaves because no one pruning, dense and flourishing.
Looking at this acre-sized bamboo forest, Han Li revealed a look of satisfaction.
His fingers strangled, released a soundproof boundary, the entire bamboo forest shrouded within, and then look solemn from the storage bag took out a stack of array flags and array disk out, it is that Qi Yunxiao sent to him to improve the “Upside Down Five Elements Formation”.
”With this Upside Down Five Elements Formation. I’m sure that the Black Fiend Sect Master will be invincible even if he’s even more powerful!” Han Li muttered as he looked at the set of magic weapons in his hand.
He then picked himself up and stepped into the pitch-black bamboo forest.
Two hours later, Han Li slowly walked out with a tired look on his face. Because of the time constraints only a small portion of the arrangement could be completed, but this should be enough. Han Li observed the surrounding area, or no one to this over the look, only then rest assured to put away the soundproof boundary will be released God wind boat, imperial weapon and go.
Han Li alone deep inside the palace to set up the process of large array. Quietly, without alerting any of the people of the Black Fiend Sect.
Those four Blood Servants, under the Black Fiend Sect Master’s command, were extremely vigilant though. However, just as Han Li had thought, they had only set up a dense number of sentries at the Cold Palace where the Black Fiend Sect Master was in seclusion. The rest of the place, on the contrary, was much more lax than before. This was also one of the reasons why Han Li had entered and exited so smoothly.
When he flew back to the Qin Residence, the sky had yet to lighten. Han Li simply didn’t sleep either. He just meditated on the bed until dawn.
When morning came, he then walked out of the house as if nothing had happened. Like everyone else, they all gathered in a hall, talking and laughing as usual, discussing the upcoming battle without mentioning the “Upside Down Five Elemental Formation” matter in the slightest.
In Han Li’s mind, such a life-saving backhand, naturally the fewer people know the better.
If he could win without using this formation, it would be even more pleasing to him, and this “Upside Down Five Element Formation” could still be his killer weapon.
Liu Jing and the other Yellow Maple Valley disciples, of course, did not know what Han Li was thinking, but when it came to the big battle at night, everyone showed a look of eagerness to try, with a bit of excitement on their faces.
Among them, aside from a few two or three people such as Liu Jing, most of them had no experience fighting Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, which was the main reason why Han Li was not too optimistic about this operation.
Han Li had always believed that cultivators who hadn’t experienced a baptism of blood, even if their cultivation level was high, would definitely suffer a great loss when facing an experienced opponent. It wasn’t uncommon to lose one’s life as a result. So while he watched these people joking and laughing, an odd look occasionally appeared in his eyes.
After all, which of the cultivators who could cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Stage hadn’t suffered a thousand hardships to get to this point in their cultivation today. However, after tonight’s battle, it was very likely that these people would be buried here. Thinking about it, this was really a great pity!
”Senior Brother Han, can you accompany me for a bit.” Chen Qiaoqian, who was originally joking with Zhong Weiniang, for some reason suddenly opened her mouth to invite Han Li when she swept over his face just now.
With these words, not only was Han Li stunned, but several of Chen Qiaoqian’s other fellow disciples were even more open-mouthed.
They all looked at Han Li and his junior sister, who had always been as cold as ice to male cultivators, with unbelievable gazes.
Seeing that Han Li seemed to be somewhat dumbfounded, Zhong Weiniang, however, had a twinkle in her eye that she didn’t know what had come to her mind. She suddenly attached her ear to Chen Qiaoxian’s ear and muttered a few words in a low voice.
At once, this “Chen Qiaoqian” face scarlet red, viciously blanked her after a glance, before generously first walked out of the hall, a quietly waiting for Han Li to follow the appearance.
”Junior brother, what are you waiting for! There’s a beautiful person like Senior Sister Chen waiting outside, what energy are you still hesitating for.” Liu Jing laughed and walked over, lightly patting Han Li’s shoulder and jokingly said.
Han Li rubbed his nose vigorously, wanting to laugh bitterly, but for some reason couldn’t. Can only dryly laugh a few times, in those male cultivators envious eyes or followed out.
If he hesitated any longer, wouldn’t he look too vain! He didn’t think there was anything to fear from the other party.
Walking outside the hall, Chen Qiaoqian was looking at the direction of the garden in a chaste manner and was somewhat lost in thought, when she heard Han Li’s footsteps coming out, she said coldly without looking back, “Accompany me to the garden, I have a few things I would like to ask for advice from my senior brother.”
After saying this, Chen Qiaoqian walked over without waiting for Han Li to reply, as if she was certain that Han Li would definitely agree.
Han Li looked at the other party’s moving back, unconsciously frowning both eyebrows, and after thinking about it, he still passed with a silent smile.
Taking a walk with a moving beauty was indeed a pleasing thing to the eyes.
Han Li was a few steps away from Chen Qiaoqian, admiring her elegant and graceful figure, feeling that this trip out was worthwhile. What’s more, when he thought of this great beauty, back then, and his own sexual encounter, he felt that his heart had some indescribable flavor.
”I didn’t expect that back then, my elder brother and I both looked away, and always thought that Your Excellency’s ability to take the top spot from the Scarlet Trial was just a bit of good luck. I didn’t realize that Senior Brother Han was actually a good at pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger back then, not only did he fool both of our siblings, but I’m afraid that so many high ranking people who were present at the time were similarly kept in the dark.” As Han Li was thinking about it, Chen Qiaoqian faintly said with her back to him.
Han Li had expected this, and did not show any unexpected colors, but scratched the back of his head and said with a light smile, “Senior Sister Chen is joking, what pretending to be a pig eating a tiger, my little brother was indeed lucky at that time, and was able to squeak through!”
When Han Li said this, his face did not show the slightest sign of abnormality, as if it was really the case.
”Senior Brother Han is still trying to hoodwink me even now?” Chen Qiaoqian seemed to have been angered by Han Li’s words, and after her voice chilled, she suddenly turned around, her bright eyes cold.
Seeing this, Han Li revealed a stunned appearance, looking as if he had no idea why he was angry.
When this “Senior Sister Chen” saw Han Li’s expression, she became even more irritated.
”Fine, I will no longer ask you about the Scarlet Trial, but there is one thing that you must answer me honestly!” Although her tone was even colder, she said with a strange look on her face.
”What is it, Senior Sister Chen just feel free to ask, I will definitely answer truthfully.” Han Li vaguely realized what was going on and became even more uneasy in his heart, but on the surface, he still made a sincere appearance.
”Seven or eight years ago, did you ever go to the eastern side of the Taiyue Mountain Range and encounter something?” When Chen Qiaoqian asked this, a hint of blush rose on her cheeks, the entire person slightly shy, and then her expression was tense as she waited for Han Li’s reply.
”Seven or eight years ago ……,” Han Li lowered his head and pondered, seemingly recalling something, but in reality, Han Li’s heart was drumming again.
”How is it that after so many years have passed, this one hasn’t quenched the idea of searching for herself, and looking at the shyness of her demeanor, could it be that she’s still really in love with the person who saved her!” Han Li thought with a great sense of puzzlement.
It wasn’t that Han Li was uninterested, but he had never had the thought of forming a dual cultivation partner with this woman.
For some reason, although Han Li had some normal male and female thoughts about this Chen Qiaoqian, once it came to the issue of feelings, Han Li automatically excluded it. Perhaps the scene of the other party and the “Lu brother” making out, so that he still can not accept this woman it!
