Chapter 683 – Vows and Choices

　　Han Li inclined his head and coldly glanced obliquely at the two JieDan cultivators, immediately swallowing back the man’s words that hadn’t quite left his mouth in fear.

　　They were two unfamiliar middle-aged cultivators that Han Li didn’t recognize, and he didn’t know which faction of cultivators they were from.

　　At this time, the shopkeeper and the two fellows in front of Han Li had long since been directly pressed to the ground by the immense spiritual pressure close at hand, unable to move a single bit. They were full of panic, and then heard that Han Li was actually a Yuanying cultivator, even more scared soul flying out of the sky, hurriedly opened his mouth to beg for mercy, but the three were as heavy as a mountain, even breath could not come out, which can open his mouth to say half a word.

　　All around the cultivators are also all colorless up, some fear of the fish pond of the cowardly cultivators, has quietly retreated.

　　Standing behind Han Li, Sun Huo, because of Han Li’s special care, in addition to also being forced back a few steps, there was no difference. However, after he recognized Han Li, his face changed and he immediately stepped forward to pay his respects, saying respectfully, “Disciple Sun Huo, see Master Han.”

　　Han Li no longer paid attention to the three people in front of him, and once he turned around, his gaze swept towards the half-sheet of talisman paper that Sun Huo was pinching in his hand before he nodded and said, “It seems that there’s no need for me to say anything more, as you already know my current identity.”

　　”Disciple didn’t know about Master Ancestor’s true identity that day and made many arrogant remarks, I hope Master Ancestor will forgive me!” Sun Fire recalled the disrespectful situation he had shown Han Li back in the Holy Land, his heart felt greatly uneasy, and his mouth honestly apologized to himself first.

　　”I hadn’t yet become an Elder of this Sect back then, so naturally I wouldn’t blame you for anything. On the contrary, you have this remnant talisman in your hands that seems to have a bit of a connection with me.” Han Li stared at Sunfire and slowly said.

　　”Remnant talisman, could it be that Master Ancestor is the ……” Sun Fire was dumbfounded underneath, and joyfully wanted to say something more, but in the distance, there was a silver rainbow shooting from a low altitude.

　　”This matter will be said later.” Han Li waved his hand, stopping Sun Fire’s following words, his eyes narrowed as he looked toward the distant recluse.

　　The only cultivators who could fly unaffected in Tepid City were naturally the law enforcement envoys of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, who were specifically responsible for the order before and after the entire Tepid City Trade Fair.

　　Sun fire naturally did not dare to speak on, immediately and honestly bundled up his hands and stood there, but in his heart he really can not suppress the excitement, holding the talismanic paper of the palm of the hand, do not feel more careful three points.

　　At this time, the rainbow in front of Han Li convergence of light, now a yellow-haired old man out, have JieDan mid-cultivation appearance, in front of the chest embroidered with a small golden sword pattern, it is the law enforcement ambassador’s logo.

　　The old man had shot up from afar, naturally sensing the amazing aura Han Li had just released. However, duty called, so knowing that there was a YuanYing stage cultivator here to give out his authority, he could only come over with his head held high.

　　However, as soon as he looked at Han Li, who was standing still in the middle of the street, he said with both hands clasping his fists, “Junior Tepid Sky City Law Enforcement Envoy Wu Fei, I don’t know why senior is angry, can there be a place where junior can be of service.” This Law Enforcement Envoy was naturally polite and unusual when faced with a YuanYing cultivator.

　　”It’s nothing, I was just passing by and heard this shopkeeper in your city have some slight words for our Falling Cloud Sect, so I wanted to have this fellow Daoist say it again in front of Han.” Han Li said coldly with his hands behind his back.

　　”Ah! This must be this shopkeeper talking nonsense, how could the three of them dare to offend senior? The three of you are still not quick enough to go over and make amends.” Once the old man heard what Han Li said, he felt a big headache, things like this involving the sect’s reputation, but it can be big or small, it is really difficult to say clearly, so he first persuaded a sentence, and then immediately a face to the shopkeeper three reprimanded.

　　Han Li has already put the spiritual pressure up, so that three people finally able to tremble from the ground to climb up. The shopkeeper sniffed, and immediately said with a bloodless face, “Senior, the senior just made a slip of the tongue, and never meant to be rude to your clan. The Fire Cloud Talisman damaged by this fellow Daoist just now, the latecomer would rather not compensate for it, and just consider it an indemnity to senior.”

　　Han Li frowned at these words, and instead of his expression easing, his face became even more somber.

　　”What, do you think that I’m standing here because I want to take advantage of your small advantage? Let me first see if the Fire Cloud Talisman in this box of yours is really a talisman made by a master. If it’s true, I’ll naturally compensate you for the spirit stones on behalf of this disciple in the clan, but if not, hey ……,” Han Li sneered with a mischievous face.

　　”No need for seniors to see, this Fire Cloud Talisman of mine is just an ordinary talisman, and the late generation is willing to recognize the punishment.” This shopkeeper is also smart, not waiting for Han Li really take the wooden box to watch, immediately exposed itself to its short and said.

　　Hearing this, Han Li no longer said anything, just looked at the side of the law enforcement ambassador.

　　Once the old man took a look at this situation, how could he not know what to do, and immediately said with a slight bow, “Please rest assured, senior, this shopkeeper is so unruly, the late generation will be heavily penalized, and will definitely give senior an account.”

　　”Since there is this, it will be handled by you. I also don’t have the free time to really care about such trivial matters, Sun Huo, follow me!” With a bland finish, Han Li’s figure flickered and suddenly appeared next to Sunfire before the piercing yellow light flickered and the two of them disappeared from the ground out of thin air.

　　The nearby cultivators were in a state of awe, this kind of subtle earth evasion method, they naturally did not have a few people who had seen it before.

　　It was only when the old man saw this that he truly let go of his heart. However, he looked back at the three shopkeepers who also breathed a huge sigh of relief, but he reprimanded with an icy face, “You three, come with me, give me an honest account of what just happened, this matter can’t just be left alone.”

　　When that shopkeeper heard this, his heart lifted once again, and he immediately cried out.

　　Behind a secluded and uninhabited stone house, Han Li and Sun Huo’s figures emerged in a shroud of yellow light.

　　”Right here, take out that half-sheet of talisman paper and let me take a look.” Han Li gave Sun Huo a look with great meaning before saying.

　　”Yes, Master Ancestor!” Sunfire didn’t hesitate at all and immediately presented that talisman paper with both hands.

　　Han Li received the talisman paper with one hand, and after a slight glance, he silently flipped the palm of his other hand, and even produced half a sheet of extra talisman paper as well, and then, in Sun Huo’s unblinking gaze, Han Li paired the two slices of talisman paper together, and the cracks matched perfectly, with not a single gap.

　　The last trace of worry in Sun Huo’s heart disappeared without a trace, and without hesitation, he once again bowed his head in obeisance, “Sun Huo pays his respects to the master.”

　　Han Li’s expression remained unchanged, and after nodding, the red light in his hand came together, and the two pieces of talisman paper turned into ashes and disappeared without a trace. Sunfire was startled, but immediately calmed down. Seeing this, Han Li was more than satisfied with his composure.

　　”It seems like you really are Sun Erdog’s descendant. But don’t be too busy to call me master first, first tell me how many generations of his descendants you are?” Han Li asked calmly.

　　”Little man is the seventh generation descendant of my ancestor.” Sun Fire returned without thinking.

　　”Back then, Sun Erdog swore that the Sun Family had served me as their master for generations since him, but I wasn’t in Tiannan back then due to some special reasons, so your Sun Family has never truly been my servant, and I haven’t provided any shelter to your Sun Family. Now that you, as a descendant of the Sun family, have also entered the Immortal Cultivation Realm, then the oath from back then, doesn’t necessarily count, but for the sake of a little bit of your ancestor’s affection from back then, I can give you two choices.”

　　”One is that I will directly give you a little favor, such as some pills or magic artifacts or something like that, but from now on, you and I are not related to each other, don’t expect how I will take care of you in the future. The other way, is that you are still willing to inherit your ancestor’s oath and continue to serve me as your master, but I will plant a prohibition on you to ensure that you won’t betray me, and at the same time, I will also hand over some things for you to do, there will be some dangers to say the least, but as a compensation, I will try to raise your cultivation level, give you pointers on your cultivation, and provide you with some benefits you can’t even imagine, and I won’t treat you poorly. It’s estimated that as long as your qualifications aren’t too poor, there’s still hope for JieDan.” The corner of Han Li’s mouth curled up as he calmly said.

　　Hearing these words, Sun Huo’s face was cloudy, with a hint of overwhelm in his eyes, clearly these words were greatly out of his expectations, leaving him momentarily at a loss for what to do.

　　After a long time, Sun fire face a trace of determination color flashed: “Master ancestor, I ……”

　　”There’s no need to rush to answer me, in order to prevent backtracking, it’s better to wait for the end of the trade fair and return to the sect before giving me an answer. During this time, after you have thought about the pros and cons of it, and have really thought deeply about it, come back to the cave to find me.” Han Li, however, in a big surprise, interrupted Sunfire’s following words and calmly said.

　　”Disciple obeys, many thanks to Master Ancestor for his understanding!” After Sunfire thought about it, he also felt that it was more appropriate to do so, and hurriedly opened his mouth to agree.

　　”Alright, I still have another important matter on my mind, so do yourself a favor!” Han Li nodded with a softer expression, and his person disappeared in the yellow light once again.

　　Sunfire didn’t immediately leave this place, but instead bowed his head and pondered for a good half a day before slowly walking away with a long sigh.

　　And at this time, Han Li had already appeared in front of the attic of his residence, raising his head to look at the thoroughly darkened night, a trace of an odd expression flashing across his face.
