Chapter 797 – Han Li’s Return
The closest city to Changzhou was a large city called Ye Hua. This city was ten thousand miles away from the Ten Thousand Ridges Mountain Range, but there were still many cultivators who were unwilling to sleep out in the wild and stayed in it. As for the small cultivation sect that had secretly occupied this city, it had been so scared that it had taken all its disciples back to the mountain gates, and had pretended to be deaf and dumb to everything in the city.
Gathered in this city of immortal cultivators although there are a lot of people, but the city’s inns are many, so that these rare cultivators to accommodate that all no problem.
One of them is called Hongfu Inn, which is a common one among these inns. Inside also stayed two waves of cultivators, respectively chartered the back of the inn’s two independent rooms with a courtyard.
Inside one of the rooms, there were three people gathered around a wooden table, discussing something. These three people are all young and beautiful female cultivators, it is the original Tianyi City and Han Li respectively purple spirit, Mei Ning two women, the last person is naturally and their friendship with the woman surnamed Song. At this time the purple spirit, looks dignified and beautiful, but obviously in the show of the secret art to hide the real face of the delicate and charming, it seems, just an ordinary female cultivator of some color.
Three women now look gloomy, is whispering something. And on the walls around the house, there were hidden flashes of white light, and it seemed that they had been put under a ban to prevent people from eavesdropping on their conversations.
”Sister Song, haven’t we received any news from Brother Han yet? There isn’t much time left before the miasma dissipates. If Brother Han doesn’t show up again, he might miss the best time to enter the Demon Fall Valley.” Zi Ling asked with her eyebrows locked in a slightly sorrowful manner. The only person she asked was naturally the woman surnamed Song, who was sitting across from her in a white dress.
”Sister Violet Spirit, you’re not unaware that more than two years ago, although Senior Uncle Cheng of this Sect declared to the public that Senior Uncle Han had gone into seclusion to heal his wounds, in reality, I was vaguely informed that the Senior Uncle turned out to have gone to the land of the extreme west. Although I don’t know why Uncle Han went to that kind of place, but a round trip just to catch up, is also to more than a year time, which can’t be in a hurry. And isn’t there still a few months left, I have long left the exact contact address within the clan, as long as Uncle Han comes back, he will be able to find us immediately. As long as senior uncle wants to come back on time, which cultivator in the extreme west is able to keep the present-day senior uncle Han.” The woman surnamed Song smiled faintly and said with a calm demeanor.
”It’s hard to say about this matter, even if Fellow Daoist Han’s cultivation is heavenly, there are some things that can’t be solved just by having a high cultivation.” Violet Spirit sighed and couldn’t help but think of the encounter in the Land of the Underworld. But with a turn of her autumn waves, she immediately continued, “Sister Song, nowadays, you open your mouth and close it with a Master Han, as if you’ve suddenly become unusually respectful of Brother Han. The previous you, when you talked about this Master Han, was not this kind of demeanor.” As Zi Ling spoke, a trace of a playful smile, if any, appeared on her delicate face.
The woman surnamed Song’s face slightly reddened for a moment, but her complexion immediately calmed down as she said, “If Sister Zi Ling was also able to exterminate a top-ranked cultivator in the middle YuanYing stage, I would likewise be so deferential to Sister Zi Ling. Master Han is now an existence second only to the Three Great Cultivators in Tiannan, so as a junior, what’s so strange about me being more respectful?”
”Hee hee! Of course it’s not strange, it’s just that little sister was similarly startled after hearing about these battle achievements of fellow Daoist Han. Brother Han was still a JieDan cultivator like my little sister ten years ago, but now he has such amazing aptitude that he even needs us to look up to him, it’s really hard to believe. Had I known this, I might as well have forcefully married sister Mei to him as a concubine in the first place, then sister Mei Ning’s cultivation path in the future would definitely be smooth all the way.” Zi Ling said with a smile.
On the side of the Mei Ning heard this, fragrant cheeks Teng Di for a moment blush all over the face, but lightly spit a mouthful, she still did not say anything out, just the depths of the bright eyes really have a point of melancholy meaning. When Han Li once let her choose, unfortunately a moment of hesitation actually missed this opportunity. The current Han Li, with such a great reputation, naturally wasn’t something she could easily open her mouth to mention this matter.
”Sister Mei Ning almost gave Uncle Han a concubine! This is really the first time I’ve heard of this matter. I’ve always thought that there might be some connection between Master Uncle and Sister Zi Ling, after all, with Sister Mei’s stunning beauty, I believe that there are still men in this world who wouldn’t be moved by this.” The woman surnamed Song was first startled, but then lightly laughed and flirted with Violet Spirit.
”Hmph! That day, I didn’t know that Fellow Daoist Han would have such great powers, if I had known, I might have already given my body in return. If I were to be Fellow Daoist Han’s dual-cultivation partner, it would definitely be much stronger than slowly cultivating myself today.” Violet Spirit pursed her fragrant lips and said with a smile, making it unclear whether what she said was true or not. This caused the woman surnamed Song, who had always been somewhat reserved, to be dumbfounded at the words and cry and laugh a little.
”However, brother Han’s aptitude has become so high, really promised to help, that spirit candle fruit is a great hope to hand. Sister Song, you really decided not to enter the Valley of the Falling Devil. You should know that Mei Ning’s sister doesn’t want to go because of the sudden surge of cultivators entering the valley, and with her cultivation going in, it’s just a bit too dangerous.” The Violet Spirit hesitated for a moment and slowly said.
”I’ve thought about it again and again, I’m not quite like the two of you. Although I’m only at the early stage of JieDan, I’m already near the top of the early stage progression myself, and it only takes twenty to thirty years of hard work to reach this realm, so it’s not worth taking such a big risk for this. As for the rest of the treasures in the valley, that’s something you have to trade with your life for, I’m still somewhat self-aware.” After thinking about it, the woman surnamed Song seriously replied.
”Since sister Song’s mind is made up, I won’t advise her anymore. In fact, if I really can’t wait for Fellow Daoist Han, I wouldn’t dare to enter the valley alone, after all, nowadays, when there are more high-ranking cultivators entering the valley, the dangers have increased greatly, and there must be quite a lot of things that take away treasures and kill people. I’m an early stage JieDan cultivator going in alone, wouldn’t it be a sheep in a tiger’s mouth, I’m not confused to this point.” Violet Spirit let out a bitter smile and said in frustration. These words caused Mei Ning and the woman across from her, surnamed Song, to be dumbfounded.
”The Ghost Spirit Sect suddenly leaking out, this is something that no one expected. At first, I even thought that Sister Violet Spirit had deliberately leaked this matter so that she could plan to fish in troubled waters.” A strange color flashed across the woman surnamed Song’s face as she muttered to herself.
”Fishing in troubled waters? This kind of thing, what’s there to fish in troubled waters? Of course the fewer cultivators that enter the valley, the better. Only then will we be able to grab ahead of the Ghost Spirit Sect and pick the Spirit Candle Fruit by surprise.” The Violet Spirit let out a pout, not looking good.
”Oh! Wasn’t the news released by Fellow Daoist Violet Spirit? It seems that someone else did this matter.” A familiar man’s voice suddenly came from outside the door of the house.
”Uncle Han!” “Brother Han!” The woman surnamed Song and Violet Spirit were first startled, and immediately called out Han Li’s name in a daze, both of their faces displaying a look of surprise.
With a single hand, Zi Ling struck the door of the house with a spell, and immediately the wooden door flashed with white light, and the door slowly opened inward.
A young man in his twenties, dressed in a half-used green robe, stood there with his hands behind his back. He looked at the three beautiful people inside the house, a hint of a smile hanging at the corner of his mouth, and was none other than Han Li, who had returned from the Land of the Extreme West after more than two years. Behind his back there was also a foot-long yellow bamboo tube, I do not know what is contained inside, but also slanting back behind his back, without the intention to put into the storage bag. A closer look can be found, Han Li himself is also slightly different from before, no matter the spirit of temperament have not small changes, appear more calm and composed, giving a feeling of unfathomable.
”See Uncle Han!” The woman surnamed Song could not afford to think too much and hurriedly took a few steps forward to converge on the obeisance and respectfully said.
”Brother Han, you’ve finally arrived, little sister thought that you were tripped up by things and couldn’t catch up in time!” Purple Spirit’s jade face flushed with a slight blush, and with some apprehension, she likewise rose to greet him. This woman did not know how long Han Li had been here, could it be that the words just now had been heard by the other side? Thinking about the words just now willing to “give your body to the promise”, even if Zi Ling is usually more generous and resourceful, at this time also face shyness and a trace of embarrassment.
”Since I promised you, I will naturally be on time for the appointment.” Han Li smiled faintly and glanced at this woman with great meaning before walking into the house without any panic.
Mei Ning also lightly bit her red lips and came over to give Han Li a salute. Han Li shook his hand and let it do just that, and then walked to an empty wooden chair next to it, greeted all of them to sit down together.
Zi Ling’s complexion quickly returned to normal, and immediately sat down calmly and freely, while the woman surnamed Song hesitated for a moment before similarly sitting on the chair.
”Brother Han, when did you return to Tiannan? The trip to the land of the extreme west went well, didn’t it?” Zi Ling didn’t immediately mention the matter of the Demon Fall Valley, but instead asked Han Li about it with a light smile. And re-sized Han Li with a strange gaze.
”I encountered some minor trouble in the land of the extreme west, and although it was resolved smoothly, I was slightly delayed, otherwise I should have returned half a year ago.” Han Li said with a smile.
Upon hearing Han Li say this, Zi Ling and the woman surnamed Song couldn’t help but glance at each other, some curiosity rising in their hearts. To be able to make today’s Han Li, say that it was a small trouble, it was definitely not an ordinary thing, only to see that Han Li did not want to say anything about the matter, the two women were both ice-smart and naturally did not pursue the matter further.
”I just heard you guys say, it seems that the trip to Fallen Demon Valley, only Purple Spirit girl is willing to go, Song nephew and Mei Ning girl have changed their minds, is this matter true?” Han Li asked with his usual expression after the remaining two girls glanced at him.
”Since senior uncle already knows, senior nephew naturally doesn’t dare to hide anything. After carefully discussing this matter with Daoist Mei Ning, I still feel that this trip is too dangerous, so it’s better to call it quits. I don’t want to take this unnecessary risk just for the sake of a mere twenty or thirty years of hard work. And Mei Ning friend of the road not long ago, got a bottle of pills on the dan greatly helpful, also do not want to take this risk. After all, the Devil Falls Valley Tiannan’s reputation as the first fierce place is not a joke, and that Spirit Candle Fruit is in the depths of the valley, the danger is even more multiplied.”
