Chapter 528 – Undercurrents Surge
The Extreme Yin Ancestor couldn’t help but frown in his heart when he heard the Taoist priest’s words and cursed an “old fox”, but his face was not the least bit different.
”Brother Qi seems to have asked this more than once. Mister Wu said a long time ago that the brat surnamed Han suddenly poisoned and assassinated Little Sun in the Void Sky Hall. That’s why Mister Wu must capture him alive and extract his soul to refine his spirit.” After the Extreme Yin Ancestor’s face was stern, he said coldly.
”Hehehe! When Brother Wu said this two years ago when he first arrived, I was naturally convinced. But now that such a long time has passed, Brother Wu has been staying here without even caring about Xuan Yin Island, and is even unwilling to be distracted by the great war on your alliance’s side. If you say that it is only to avenge your grandson’s death, does Brother Wu think that Mister Qi would believe it?” The Taoist priest lightly shook his head and said in disbelief.
”Furthermore, in these two years, in addition to Brother Wu’s sudden visit to this island, the Wan Fa Sect’s side has also quietly passed over an Elder Swirling Rocky. On top of that, there are at least two or three other unidentified YuanYing stage fellow practitioners who have also changed their faces and sneaked into our island’s waters. When did we, Qi Yuan Island, become so charismatic that we could provoke so many high profile people to pay joint attention to the local area? It wasn’t until two days ago that I received accurate information that these people were actually looking for that insect repellent kid surnamed Han, just like Brother Wu. Brother Wu don’t tell me that these Daoists are also trying to avenge the killing of some grandson!” As if he wanted to show his cards, Taoist Qi stared directly at Ancestor Extreme Yin and said slowly with a smile rather than a laugh.
Extreme Yin’s heart flinched, after a chill on his face, he fell silent.
”Brother Wu why needlessly hide anymore. Regardless of what great secret the boy surnamed Han has, but now since so many fellow disciples know about this matter, it’s no more than one more than me, and no less than one less than me. Brother Wu might be more favorable if he tells us frankly! Moreover, right now in this sea area, apart from the disciple of the Taoist Brother who is appearing as an Insect Demon, there are actually some other cultivators impersonating this person appearing in various places, clearly looking to muddy the waters.” The Taoist priest seemed to see the faltering in Extreme Yin’s heart, and continued to persuade without moving.
”Hmph! Since Brother Qi already knows so many things and won’t be able to figure out the mysteries on his own, why bother asking Mister Wu again?” The Extreme Yin Ancestor finally returned with a bad tone.
”I believe that even if Brother Wu is unwilling to tell the truth, Mister Qi will be able to figure out the origin of this matter in another half year’s time at most. But when that time comes, I’m afraid that the people who know about this matter will not just be my Bi Yun Sect. I don’t want to see that happen. If that’s the case, it would be better to join forces with fellow Daoist first.” Daoist Qi did not hide his intentions in his heart in the slightest.
When Ancestor Extreme Yin heard this, his face was uncertain for a while. After lowering his head and pondering for another moment, he finally let out a long sigh and compromised with a bitter smile to the Taoist priest, “Ahem! It’s not that Wu was intentionally trying to deceive, but at that time, in order to keep this secret from leaking out, several other Daoists and I swore by our own heart demons that we would never tell outsiders about this matter. However, since the Whirlpool Iso of the Ten Thousand Laws Sect also tracked me here, then no matter how much truth Ten Thousand Heavenly Brightness divulged, the oath itself has already been broken to a greater or lesser extent, so there is nothing for me to be concerned about.”
”That’s right. Does Brother Wu still really care about any oaths? Mister Qi has never bothered with that. If the Heart Demon was really so spiritual, I’m afraid that most of us cultivators who practiced the Side Sect and Demonic Techniques would have died long ago.” Upon hearing this from Extreme Yin, the Taoist priest’s face smiled with a joyful slap and laughed.
”Although I don’t care about any heart demons either. But if this matter is known by too many people, I’m afraid that we won’t even be able to drink a bit of the leftover soup.” The Extreme Yin Ancestor said with a hint of helplessness. Afterwards, his face wrenched and his lips moved slightly as he transmitted his voice.
Seeing how careful the Extreme Yin Ancestor was, Daoist Qi was first a little unimpressed, but after hearing only a few sentences, his face suddenly changed drastically, and a gaze of surprise shot out from his eyes.
”Is what the Daoist friend said all true? That thing really came out?” The Taoist priest’s face was so excited that his voice was slightly trembling.
”If it wasn’t for this treasure, do you think that there would be so many Multi-Infant Stage cultivators gathering here?” Ancestor Extreme Yin asked back indifferently.
”Not bad! It seems that what Brother Wu said is true! Fellow Daoist Wu has covered this matter up deeply enough! This object has been in existence for such a long time, but there is still not a single rumor out there, Mister Qi can really have some admiration. However, if you had told me earlier. Mister Qi would have deployed more manpower, and might have found that brat earlier.” While the Daoist was ecstatic, there couldn’t help but be a few hints of complaint in his words.
”Fellow Daoist is putting it lightly. Can such things be divulged casually? If I didn’t think that this matter had been hidden for such a long time, and that a few other people might have leaked some information, Mister Wu wouldn’t have said it so easily even now. The fewer people who know about this matter, the better, naturally.” The Extreme Yin Ancestor spoke without good humor.
”Brother Wu’s words are also true! If Mister Qi had known about this information, he would never have wanted one more person to divide up the treasure.” The Daoist nodded his head, actually agreeing without being the least bit surprised.
”But now it seems that this news can no longer be covered up for much longer. The news of this treasure appearing in the world will eventually spread.” The Extreme Yin Ancestor’s face twitched, a hint of resignation appearing on his face.
”Heh! Brother Wu should know, there are simply no impermeable walls in this world. Then, Mister Qi will take his leave first. I’ll go down and send more manpower, striving to find this person first before anyone else.” Daoist Qi slightly enlightened and stood up to take his leave, a hint of excitement hidden on his face.
Ancestor Extreme Yin didn’t stay for long, and after clasping his fists, he saw the Taoist priest out of the door of the house and disappeared.
Extreme Yin Ancestor re-do sit back on the chair, body did not move a bit, but face showed a cold smile. It seems that once the word “profit” came to the forefront, the other party was immediately more anxious than himself. It seems that choosing to tell the other party about the Void Heavenly Cauldron is a step that should not be done wrong. Han Li that kid, also do not know where to hide, even so far unable to explore its whereabouts in the slightest. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had previously killed those cultivators from the Bi Yun Sect, he almost thought that the other party had played a trick to get rid of their shells, and had gone to another Demonic Beast Island. Now time waits for no one, he can only rely on the local forces of the Bi Yun Sect, and take one step at a time.
Extreme Yin Ancestor secretly weigh the pros and cons, long exhaled a breath, the room quiet and silent up.
……
On a certain sea area, a young man wearing a green shirt with an ordinary appearance was coldly looking at the several low-level cultivators in front of him with no color in their faces. Above his head, however, there was a large swarm of gold and silver colored insects that buzzed.
”Insect Devil!”
One of the middle-aged cultivators, with a miserable face, called out the identity of the other party.
When the youth heard this, but he heated a few cold laughs, without saying a word, he pointed a finger at the few people in front of him, and the insect cloud above his head immediately roared, spreading out and surging wildly.
These several low-ranking cultivators although desperately with body protection spiritual weapon to resist one or two, but in the twinkling of an eye was completely covered by these flying insects, a moment’s work after, these several people from the world disappeared without a trace.
”This point of cultivation also want to struggle to death is really self-importance!” The youth put away the storage bags left behind by several people one by one, and muttered to himself in disbelief. Then, after a casual glance in a certain direction, he turned into a green light and flew away from here.
A long time later, somewhere in the air suddenly white light flashed, revealing a white-faced cultivator in the early stage of JieDan, this person’s face was ugly. Looking at the direction in which the youth disappeared, gritted his teeth and stomped his foot, and flew away in the opposite direction.
……
Half a month later, Han Li finally returned to the Misty Sea island. Although he hadn’t returned for a few years, everything inside the cave was safe and sound. This allowed the heart he had been somewhat lifting to finally relax.
Han Li first rested in the mansion for a few days, and then sorted out the various rare materials and demon dans obtained from this sea voyage, and put them into categories one by one, in preparation for the future of alchemy.
A dozen days later, conscious of the physical and mental fatigue all washed away Han Li, finally with all the materials, entered the alchemy room.
Some years ago, after refining the last batch of pills within his cave in Tianxing City, he vaguely felt that he had reached a certain bottleneck in his alchemy skills, as if with a little more effort, he would enter another different realm of alchemy. Therefore, Han Li did not immediately use six or seven levels of demonic pills, but first took out a batch of five levels of demonic pills and set them aside on the ground.
According to Han Li’s estimation, although his talent in alchemy was usual, his alchemy skills would not be too far off, even if he had not yet reached the level of an alchemy master. Biyin could still have someone who could be as extravagant as he was to practice practicing with so many demon dans. And in the way of alchemy, the most important thing was also a matter of experience and proficiency. Therefore, he was prepared to first practice with a fifth level demonic dan to see if he could really break through in the way of alchemy.
With this in mind, Han Li looked at the cauldron in front of him, and with a wave of his hand, a grade 5 demonic dan automatically flew above the cauldron, while the lid of the cauldron moved away on its own.
