Chapter 506 – Transmission and Conditions
”Although you, Fellow Daoist, have had the favor of helping Senior Brother Ling, there are still some necessary things to ask. It’s an extraordinary time now, so you should be able to sympathize!” The yellow-faced cultivator looked straight in the direction Ling Yuling had flown away and disappeared for half a day before finally coming back to his senses, sizing up Han Li and saying nonchalantly.
”Fellow Daoist have what despite asking is.” Han Li looked as normal and returned without hesitation.
”That’s good. Let’s start with the identity of fellow Daoist, I want to confirm if the identity is true.” The yellow-faced cultivator nodded slightly and said blandly.
Han Li saw this, but smiled faintly.
”I am an Elder of the Myriad Sound Sect, this is my waist tag, while this is the forbidden token for the cave in the city, so I’m sure that you should be able to recognize the authenticity.” Han Li reached into his storage pouch and two different tokens appeared in his hand, unhurriedly giving them to the other party.
”Myriad Sound Sect? Check to see if the Myriad Sound Sect elders have this person.” The yellow-faced cultivator nonchalantly received the token and ordered without looking back.
The female cultivator standing behind her who was still quite clean looking was slightly stunned at the words, but immediately answered. She then rummaged around in her storage bag for a while, finally pulling out a jade sketch and probing it with her divine sense before staring at Han Li for a few more moments before respectfully saying, “Protector Zhao, the Myriad Sound Sect does indeed have an Elder surnamed Han, and judging from the portrait, the person is generally the same.”
”Oh! These two tokens are also real. In that case, it seems that the identity is not false!” The yellow-faced cultivator nodded without much expression as he heard this.
”Alright, you few continue to patrol the neighborhood, I’ll take this fellow Daoist to do the formalities for entering the city first.” The yellow-faced cultivator tossed the token back to Han Li and commanded.
”Yes!” The four people behind him opened their mouths to respond.
Then the yellow-faced cultivator said no more, and with a wave of his hand at Han Li, the person took the lead and shot off in the direction of Star City. Han Li transformed into a green rainbow and similarly followed closely behind as he flew out.
It didn’t take long for the yellow-faced cultivator to lead Han Li to fly near the high walls of Star City and into the air above one of the city gates.
Although no one else came forward to ask questions along the way, but Han Li put out his divine sense to take a look, but found that at least on the way there are four or five waves of hidden cultivators who did not show themselves. Although the Foundation Stage cultivators are the main ones, there are also two JieDan Stage cultivators who are not present.
Although Han Li’s face remained unchanged, his heart couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe, it seemed that after Nanming Island was attacked, it was indeed heavily guarded. If it wasn’t for someone’s introduction, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be an easy task for him to blend into Tianxing City.
The city gates looked a bit cold, and other than more than a dozen white-clothed cultivators, there weren’t many people coming in and out of the city. And after getting close Han Li realized that the tall walls and gates are now flickering with a pale white haze, which seems to have opened up the appearance of some kind of restriction.
As soon as the yellow-faced cultivator landed, he headed towards the only seated old man among the white-clothed cultivators without hesitation. This old man had a not-so-long goatee and a wrinkled face, and was lying on a bamboo chair with his eyes closed.
”Protector Yu! This is Elder Han of the Myriad Sound Sect. I’ve already checked the identity and the token, and there’s nothing wrong with it. Now, I’ll trouble Protector Yu to explain the matters after entering the city, I have to continue patrolling the outskirts, so I won’t be able to stay longer.” He said with a cupped fist at the old man, as if he had quite a bit of respect for him.
After Han Li’s gaze flicked over the old man, his heart was also more than a trifle wary. This person was actually a mid JieDan cultivator, so it was no wonder that the yellow-faced cultivator didn’t dare to offend his appearance.
”Myriad Sound Sect?” The old man’s eyelids twitched and slowly opened them, as if he was still somewhat unconscious.
”Yes, and this fellow Daoist had once stepped in to righteously help Senior Brother Ling on the road.” After hesitating for a moment, the yellow-faced cultivator somewhat reluctantly said one more sentence.
”Oh, that’s rare. I see, Fellow Daoist Zhao go back.” A cold light flashed in the old man’s eyes, and a hidden light shot out from it, but it immediately disappeared without a trace, and his voice still seemed breathless and very lazy.
The yellow-faced cultivator fell on the old man’s appearance did not for the intention, after a clasped fist, ignored Han Li’s flying away.
Han Li stood calmly in place, looking at the old man without haste.
”Myriad Sound Sect’s Zi Ling girl, I’ve seen her a few times, and she is indeed a person with seven exquisite senses. On the contrary, it is you, the Elder of the Myriad Sound Sect, whom I have occasionally heard about twice, but unfortunately I have never had the chance to see. However, looking at how young you look, could it be that you are also practicing some kind of eternal appearance technique just like fellow Daoist Ling? As far as I know, all such feats are extremely yin in nature, and there is no benefit to a man when he cultivates them.” The old man’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Han Li and slowly said.
”So, Fellow Daoist Ling is a man’s body? I didn’t cultivate any face residing techniques, I only once swallowed a face fixing pill.” Han Li was extremely calm, and asked without moving.
”Whether Daoist Ling is a man or a woman, I’m afraid that even we in the Star Palace don’t have a few people who truly know, and I’m even less aware of it. But it is definitely true that he practiced the technique of residing in the face. Hehe, it’s you, Fellow Daoist Han, who is lucky to even have the chance to take such a rare elixir as the Face Fixing Pill.” The old man burst into a low, soft laugh and slowly and leisurely said.
Han Li was slightly stunned when he heard this. But at that moment, the old man continued, “Alright, let’s not talk about this. Since someone has checked your identity, the old man doesn’t want to be redundant. However, nowadays, because it’s not quite the same as usual, the rules are definitely different as well. Fellow Daoist listen attentively, the old man will only speak once.”
Han Li raised both eyebrows, his lips tightly closed, and didn’t say anything.
”Now, fellow Daoist has two options, one is to temporarily join our Star Palace’s side and be willing to assist us in our fight against the enemy. In that case, you will still be able to move freely within the city without much restriction, and after each mission, our Star Palace will gift a generous and extremely generous reward, and will definitely not let you fellow Daoists put forth your efforts for nothing. The second is not willing to participate in the war, just want to honestly stay in the city, so also can, our Star Palace will not force you friends. But unless some time period specified, now other times the whole city martial law, not allowed to leave the residence, otherwise our Star Palace in the city law enforcement team but shoot to kill. Now Fellow Daoist Han can tell me your intentions.” The old man’s complexion suddenly turned cloudy as he said icily.
Han Li’s eyes flashed with strange colors, and he fell silent for a moment, caught up in his thoughts.
Seeing this, the old man did not urge Han Li’s intentions, only that his eyes, which had originally opened a bit, narrowed again, and a hint of treachery appeared faintly on his face.
”I wonder if I can use the teleportation array to go to the Outer Star Sea after entering the city.” After pondering for a moment, Han Li finally asked in a deep voice.
”Originally, as long as one pays the spirit stones, of course it’s possible. But nowadays, it is no longer possible, and if you wish to go to the Outer Star Sea, you must do one thing for our Star Palace in order to do so.” The old man did not reveal any unexpected look, as if Han Li’s question had long been part of his expectations.
”What matter!” Han Li vaguely guessed a few things in the back of his mind, but still asked with a slight frown.
”It’s very simple! In the great battle that will begin soon, just complete a task for our Star Palace or kill a Reverse Star Alliance cultivator of the same rank as yourself.” The old man smiled faintly and said lightly, a hint of faint sarcasm appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Hearing this condition, Han Li’s heart burst into bitter laughter. It seemed that the Star Palace’s higher-ups were planning to force those of them cultivators who wanted to leave, even if they couldn’t be used by the Star Palace, they had to be stained with the blood of the Counterstar Alliance’s cultivators in order to do so. On one hand, it would weaken the strength of the Reverse Star Alliance, and on the other hand, these cultivators wouldn’t be able to lean on the Reverse Star Alliance in the future.
”I’ve already killed cultivators of the same rank while I was on my way back with Fellow Daoist Ling, I don’t know if this counts.” Han Li lightly exhaled and asked with a straightened expression.
”Killed one, you and Ling Yuling?” The old man was somewhat moved.
”Not bad.” Han Li nodded without hesitation.
”Unfortunately, this one doesn’t count, you must have killed one in public during a great battle after making an application for it to be allowed, it’s useless to exterminate as many as you did earlier.” The old man finally revealed a few interested colors slowly said.
”Fellow Daoist estimates when the Great War will break out?” Han Li stroked his chin and asked thoughtfully.
”It should be very soon, it’s estimated to be in the next few days. Because these people of the Reverse Star Alliance even didn’t capture the inner island before raiding to forcefully attack our Heavenly Star City, it’s estimated that they’re hitting on the idea of a quick battle as well!” The old man was a bit stunned at these words, and after re-scanned Han Li twice, he still immediately returned to normal and said.
”I’ll sign up, after killing a cultivator of the same rank as me, I’m going to teleport to the Outer Star Sea.” Without much more consideration, Han Li calmly said.
”Good! You will put this new finger ring on, and with this finger ring as a proof, for the time being, you will be considered a member of our Star Palace. When the Great War begins, use this finger ring to carry out missions or sign up for the war.” After a moment of fumbling around on his body, the old man pulled out a yellow glittering finger ring and handed it over without moving.
