Chapter 750 – Conditions
Hearing Lu Luo’s words, Han Li’s mind immediately conjured up the situation when Mu Pei Ling and Nangong Wan met, and his heart muttered for a while, but his mouth naturally thanked him twice more.
”What are Senior Brother’s future plans? Originally, according to the agreement, Senior Brother had made one strike, and the following battles could be avoided. However, a few days ago when we got together with the top management of the righteous and demonic paths and the Nine Kingdoms Alliance to discuss countermeasures, someone mentioned Senior Brother, saying that since Senior Brother was able to instantly kill the black-robed venerable warriors, he was surely able to restrain these black-robed people in terms of his gong methods, and thus for the great battle to be fought in the near future, they all hoped that Senior Brother would still be able to take part in it. Our Heavenly Dao Alliance representative also feels that Senior Brother is a major combatant, so if he doesn’t participate in the battle, it’s really a bit unjustifiable, so he also …… said with a hesitant and somewhat hesitant face.
”Then participate in the war of course can, if the south of the sky is really occupied by the Mulan people, we fall cloud clan is not good either. But the previous promise, how does the alliance intend to deal with it, it won’t be just a mouthful, it’s really so forget about it!” Somewhat out of Lu Luo’s expectation, Han Li did not reveal a color of annoyance, but instead asked blandly after a cold laugh.
”Of course this won’t be the case, coupled with Senior Brother’s credit for uncovering a Royal Spirit Sect spy and killing a black-robed man, the alliance promises that as long as Senior Brother is willing to continue to participate in the war, he can mention whatever conditions he has. As long as they can, they will try to fulfill senior brother as compensation.” Lu Luo said with a bitter smile.
”Willing to compensate? That’s good to say. I’d rather detail the specific conditions face-to-face with the principal.” Han Li’s complexion twitched at his words, and he said without moving.
”That’s fine, I’ll take Senior Brother to meet the several principals on duty in our Heavenly Dao Alliance. As long as Senior Brother’s conditions aren’t too excessive, they should be able to take the lead and agree.” Lv Luo smiled faintly, but his words were vaguely as if he was referring to something.
”Don’t worry, Senior Brother Lu, I won’t ask for too much and make things difficult for Senior Brother.” Han Li let out a light laugh and slowly said.
”Senior brother is joking, there’s no need to take my face into consideration, it’s rare that those old guys are willing to be generous for once, it’s not for nothing to not want what you should want.” Seeing that Han Li had comprehended his meaning and had a sense of proportion, Lu Luo’s heart was relieved, but what came out of his mouth were naturally other words.
When Han Li heard this, his face was filled with a smirking expression, but he no longer said anything. Below, Lu Luo immediately led Han Li out of the Falling Cloud Sect’s compound, heading straight for the Heavenly Dao Alliance’s council hall.
”Our Heavenly Dao Alliance is now in charge of a council of elders made up of a dozen or so large sect cultivators, with a few of them being replaced every ten years. Of course the three families of Luan Ming Sect Ancient Sword Sect Ni Hang Zhai, who are the initiators of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, do not need to be replaced. And most of the things in the alliance are actually decided by these three families. However, in comparison, the Luan Ming Sect was slightly more powerful than both the Ancient Sword Sect and Ni Hang Zhai. The person in charge of Tianyi City is the Luan Ming Sect’s Long Han and Feng Bing, I think you also know that the two of them are a dual-cultivation couple who can defeat late YuanYing cultivators by joining forces. This alliance can fight against other forces, also all rely on these two people. However, the only one who has shown up now is Long Han, Feng Bing, as soon as he arrived at Tianyi City, he immediately closed down, and it seems that the cultivation of a certain secret art has reached a critical point. Master Han only needs to talk to the several Elders in charge of Tianyi City first, then the Council of Elders will also be equivalent to passing. In addition to Elder Long Han presiding over the Deliberation Hall, the other two major sects also have elders stationed there.” Lu Luo walked side by side with Han Li. While doing so, he explained the matters of the Heavenly Dao Alliance to Han Li.
Some of these things Han Li had already known, while others were the first time he had heard of them, and didn’t say anything, only nodding silently.
The Council Hall was located at the center of the Western City, and after walking unhurriedly for a while, the two arrived at their destination. A large verdant hall surrounded by a large and majestic building appeared in front of the duo.
”Greetings, Elder Lu. Is senior here to meet a few elders? This senior is ……” The several Foundation Establishment cultivators guarding the outside of the hall’s door clearly recognized Lv Luo, the Falling Cloud Sect elder, and one of them asked very politely after respectfully saluting. However, when his gaze landed on Han Li, an unfamiliar cultivator, his expression became somewhat hesitant.
”This is this sect’s Elder Han, and this time it is precisely to meet Elder Long several people.” Lu Luo’s expression remained unchanged. Indifferently said.
”Ah, so it’s Elder Han, please wait for a moment, several elders are discussing things in the side hall, I’ll just notify them.” The cultivator was startled and looked at Han Li twice more in shock, then his expression became three times more respectful, obviously knowing who Han Li was.
The cultivator casually took out a transmitting note, and after whispering a few words at the note, he flung his hand and threw the note out, and a red light shot inside.
A few moments later, three mellifluous bell sounds suddenly came out from the large hall, as soon as that gate guarding cultivator heard this sound, he immediately bowed with his body on one side and said, “Seniors, please come in, a few elders already know that the two seniors have arrived.”
Lu Luo nodded and walked towards the hall in a grand manner. Han Li followed behind with his usual expression, unperturbed.
Passing through several sections of corridors, Lu Luo led Han Li inside the side hall on the other side. Entering the door, he saw five or six YuanYing stage cultivators sitting inside. As soon as the two of them entered, all of them looked over. However, their gazes only swept over Lu Luo’s body, and most of them stayed on Han Li, all revealing a look of interest.
Each of these people had extraordinary cultivation levels, but Han Li’s eyes flickered and landed on a middle-aged man sitting in the center. This person was dressed in a gray robe, with a strange appearance, wide bones, and a cultivation level that was even stronger than that of an ordinary YuanYing intermediate cultivator, and even seemed to have reached the peak of the intermediate stage, just a foot short of entering the late stage.
Han Li’s heart was in awe, and immediately knew that this person was the Luan Ming Sect’s Long Han. This person’s cultivation is so deep, no wonder after joining forces with his dual cultivation partner, he was able to fight against the late YuanYing cultivators. Originally, I thought the rumors were exaggerated, but it seems that this person’s cultivation is shallow.
At this point, before the others could speak, the middle-aged man spread his face and smiled up first. “Brother Lu, this is your sect’s Elder Han, isn’t it, we’ve been hearing about him like thunder these days.” Long Han got up and said with an arch of his hand, with a kind face.
”Fellow Daoist Long Han, I believe, Mister Han has also heard a lot about you.” Han Li carefully sized up the middle-aged man twice and smiled with the same return salute.
”To speak of fame, among the recent cultivators, which one of them is as famous as Fellow Daoist Han, Brother Han can give our Heavenly Dao Alliance a lot of face.” Sitting on Long Han’s side, an old man with a fair complexion said half-jokingly.
”This fellow Daoist is joking, I wonder how you are addressed?” Han Li had also noticed this old man early on, and since he was the other mid YuanYing cultivator in the audience besides Long Han, he naturally didn’t dare to be slow.
”Senior Brother Han, this is Ni Hangzhai’s Brother Fong, and his Qian Tu Gong has been a formidable force in Tian Nan for hundreds of years.” Before waiting for the fair old man to reply, Lu Luo opened his mouth to introduce himself.
”So Brother Fong, Mister Han has likewise admired him for a long time.” Han Li was a bit surprised at his words. Surprise flashed across his face as he said.
Han Li didn’t say this against his will, this Ni Hangzhai’s cultivator surnamed Fang was indeed a big name, an existence second only to the Long Han couple in the Heavenly Dao Alliance. The silver-haired old man from the Falling Cloud Sect had mentioned him again and again at first, and he hadn’t expected to see him here as well.
Next, Lu Luo introduced the remaining cultivators to Han Li one by one. The others were just fine, but when the Ancient Sword Sect elder, an ugly-faced cultivator with the surname Tian, was introduced, Han Li couldn’t help but look twice. Afterward, Han Li and the others resumed their seats.
After Long Han smiled faintly, he said calmly, ”Fellow Daoist Han came to the council hall this time, so I think he should also know the alliance’s hope that Fellow Daoist will continue to go to war. To put it mildly, we have really broken faith with you. However, the great war is approaching, and with your aptitude, you are indeed a great help to our Tiannan cultivators, so we have no choice but to do this. However, as compensation, we can make up for it in terms of raw materials and pills. If you, Fellow Daoist Han, are not satisfied, other conditions can also be discussed, basically, as long as the alliance can do something, it will definitely not push back.”
Long Han was worthy of being a cultivator who had been in charge of the Heavenly Dao Alliance for a long time, and before Han Li and the two of them could say what they wanted to do, he snatched the opportunity to apologize to Han Li first. If Han Li originally had a bellyful of unhappiness, it was not a good time to snap out of it.
However, Han Li did not get angry because of this, he was able to escape from the hands of the Mulan Divine Master, and even if the battle was fierce in the future, self-preservation was still more than enough. Since his life was not in danger, he naturally did not have any unhappiness, but instead felt that this was a rare opportunity!
Thus, after a bit of contemplation, Han Li said nonchalantly, “Since Brother Long has said so, it’s fine to continue to participate in the following great battle, after all, I still know that there’s no egg left intact under a fallen nest. However, there are still some things that Mister Han really has to utilize the power of the alliance to make it possible, so Mister Han will nonchalantly take advantage of this opportunity.”
Han Li spoke here, revealing a look of candor. He knew that in front of these old monsters it was better to sell less cleverness, and it was easier to reach his goal by being straightforward instead.
Sure enough, these undisguised words made most of the cultivators present have a good impression of Han Li. Cultivator Fang even smiled and said directly without disguising: ”Fellow Daoist Han is quick to speak, very much in line with my temperament. What are the conditions? Let’s hear them, I’m a bit curious!”
Long Han’s gaze flickered a few times before he implicitly smiled without saying anything. The others also stared at Han Li to see exactly what conditions he wanted to propose.
”It’s actually quite simple, I wish to utilize the power of the alliance to help me collect a type of weapon refining material. I won’t hide it from a few fellow Daoists, this kind of thing is quite important to me, and if I can get the thing together before the big battle, I’ll have a bit more certainty in dealing with those black-robed Fa Shi.” Han Li’s expression was as normal as ever as he calmly said.
”Weaponry refining materials?” Those present looked at each other, and no one revealed a look of surprise. With their minds, they naturally knew that this kind of material must be extremely rare and hard to find, otherwise Han Li wouldn’t have utilized this opportunity to present it as a condition.
