Chapter 1354 – Heavenly Cantonment Hall
”Although normally after a clan war, all clans need sixty to one hundred thousand years before they have the ability to start another great war. However, if any major change occurs, it is not impossible for the clans to provoke a great war as soon as possible even if they would rather damage their clan’s vitality. The Hundred Races War that took place half a million years ago, wasn’t it the case that in just 100,000 years, we were attacked as many as five times in turn by several foreign races joining forces. It almost caused both of our races to lose all of their vitality, and we were almost truly exterminated. It wasn’t until another 100,000 years later that we regained our prosperity. Of course those foreign races didn’t fare well either, two races were directly removed from this great war.” Daoist Ma’s face became grave.
”The Hundred Races War? Fellow Daoist is joking! This kind of great war that swept through half of the Spirit Realm, how could it just say that it broke out, and happened to let us meet it.” The big man with blue eyes sucked in a breath of cool air, his eyes glaring round at once.
”Daoist Ma’s words are really a bit alarmist. If we really encountered a great battle of the scale of the Hundred Races War, it would be very difficult for us to survive this battle even if we had ten more little lives. In that war back then, I heard that the mortals were fine, but we cultivators were almost 90% dead or injured out of the ten.” Immortal Xu also sucked in a breath of cool air.
”Not bad, not bad, how is this matter possible ……”
The rest of the people heard the words “Battle of the Hundred Races” and so on, and all of their faces turned green, as if Daoist Ma had mentioned something extremely frightening, making it difficult for them to maintain their usual composure.
”It’s fine. It’s just that there have been some more scouts from the foreign races lately, how could it be related to the Hundred Races War. Not to mention that the possibility of this matter occurring is minimal, even if it does occur, it’s not something that you and I can control. Let’s just finish the inspection task in front of us first, that’s the first thing. Other matters will naturally be handled by an existence such as the Council of Elders.” Han Li, however, always looked calm as usual, and with a faint command, he took the lead and flew off in a certain direction with a single movement of his body.
Seeing this, Ma Taoist and others naturally did not care to discuss anything, but also drove a recluse to follow the past.
A group of people, in the blink of an eye, disappeared at the end of heaven and earth.
A few days later, Han Li and the others were back in the Golden Court Boat in the giant tower of Tian Yuan City.
While everyone else stayed in the temple to rest for a bit, he left the squad’s quarters alone and headed straight up the steps to the top of the stone tower.
As a result, after walking more than ten floors and passing through several tightly guarded gates, Han Li appeared in an ordinary-looking hall.
Hall around the walls of the various colors of forbidden light flickering, a look at how many layers of powerful forbidden densely laid down look.
In the center of the hall, in addition to a stone table and a white-robed middle-aged man sitting next to the stone table, there is no one else.
As soon as Han Li Fang walked into the hall, the middle-aged man who had closed his eyes to rest slowly opened his eyes, and once he saw Han Li, he didn’t look surprised, but instead faintly said: ”It turns out to be Han Xian Nephew, this time there are gains from the inspection again. Was it a live one sent this time, or was it a corpse. Which clan is it from?”
The middle-aged man seemed to be familiar with Han Li.
”Reporting to Senior Wen, my junior captured a Shadow Clan scout this time.” Han Li, however, didn’t dare to be the slightest bit rude to the middle-aged man in front of him, and after respectfully clasping his fists, he flipped his hand and took out a jade box, placing both hands on top of the stone table.
”The Shadow Clan! Tsk, this is a foreign race that is rarely captured alive, I’ll take a look at it.” As soon as the white-robed middle-aged man heard Han Li’s words, his expression twitched as he finally looked somewhat interested.
With a pinch of his one hand, he aimed a sudden slap at the stone table in front of him.
The original seemingly ordinary stone table suddenly white light released, surfaced a ten feet large small array, the jade box just in the center of the array look.
A layer of silver Selling finger card nephews out, the jade box completely banned in which.
But the white-robed middle-aged man action but seems to be not affected by this light cover at all, sleeve robe rushed jade box gently flick, box cover opened on its own, revealing the inside of the green ball flickering faint spiritual light.
”Green Shadow! This is a high level Shadow Race that is hard to come across, or captured alive. Sage nephew, you’ve made quite a feat this time!” The white-robed middle-aged man saw the origin of the orb with a single glance, and finally became somewhat moved.
”Senior is overpraised! I’ve heard that in half a month’s time at the Heavenly Guang Hall, it’ll be Elder Criminal, who originated from the Heavenly Spirit Mirror, lecturing on the Way of the Talisman, so I wonder if it’s true.” Han Li humbly said a few words and suddenly asked this.
”Not bad, this time, the Heavenly Guang Hall sermon has indeed been decided to be taught by Elder Criminal. Although I don’t know if it’s really the Way of the Talisman, Elder Criminal himself is famous for his Talisman technique in the Three Realms, so it’s most likely related to this technique. Why, Xian Nephew Han is interested in this.” The white-robed middle-aged man said with some surprise.
”Late generation has recently been studying the art of talismans, and I do have some insights that I would like to ask for some guidance.” Han Li also had no intention of hiding anything and said frankly.
”If the talisman path is thoroughly researched, it is indeed of infinite use against the enemy, but this method is only an auxiliary art, and does not have much effect on enhancing cultivation. Han Xian nephew from the ascension, can just a short time to advance to the middle stage of the Transformation of God, the progress of the fast in my ascension cultivators is rare, visible qualifications over the person. However, it’s better for Xian Nephew not to be distracted by other things, or else I’m afraid that the Great Dao will be in error.” The middle-aged man frowned a bit, and surprisingly his voice slowed down as he persuaded.
Listening to his tone, he was unexpectedly also a flying cultivator from the lower realms.
”Many thanks to Elder Wen for his kind words, I’ll keep it in mind. But this time, Elder Criminal’s sermon, senior indeed does not want to miss it. I don’t know if the merits that latecomer has accumulated now qualify him to enter the hall and listen to the sermon.” Han Li sincerely claimed a word of thanks, but still didn’t look like he intended to give up.
”Since virtuous nephew is adamant about this, I won’t say much more. With the merits you’ve gained on previous occasions, along with catching the Green Shadow this time, it’s more than enough for you to enter the Heavenly Guang Hall. Hey, once every ten years, it seems that you have not once given up on the Elders’ Lecture, this is really hard for you. Good, I’ll list your merits here, and then just go to the Discourse Pavilion with this to receive the Order of Evangelization.” The white robe did not continue to discourage anything, but instead pulled out a jade token from his pocket with one hand, and after imprinting some kind of seal inside, he handed it over to Han Li.
Han Li received the jade card with great joy, rushed to the middle-aged man slightly salute, then excused himself and exited the hall.
The middle-aged man waited for Han Li to leave the hall door, first shook his head, and then nodded, and then will be on the table after the jade box closed again, on the two hands of a pinch, rushing in front of the jade table a point finger.
At once the table array a burst of blinding dazzling, jade box even in the white light flashes in this disappeared without a trace.
Just as the white-robed man cast a spell to transmit the green shadow of the orb to the place of confinement, Han Li had already flown away from the stone tower and headed straight for the Tian Yuan City workshop market.
A few hours later, Han Li landed his transport in front of the Taixuan Hall in the middle of the workshop market.
After casually delivering a sum of spirit stones and receiving his Light Shielding Pei, he entered the hall in a grand manner.
Passing through the long passageway, Han Li appeared in a silver-colored haze right in the middle of the giant hall, which was filled with people from both the human and demon races who wanted to exchange things.
Between the flashes of silver light and black aura, there were as many as three to four hundred people.
The hall was also surrounded by dozens of stalls.
After Han Li swept his gaze around, he stopped with a stare near a stone pillar in the hall.
There, a demon race wrapped in black gas was quietly standing there without moving.
Han Li took a deep breath, then walked over with large strides.
”Fellow Daoist has finally come. After the last transaction, I thought that Fellow Daoist would be going into seclusion and bitter cultivation right away, and that we wouldn’t be able to see each other for at least a few years.” Before Han Li walked over, a low, soft laugh suddenly came out of his ears, a pleasant sounding but very pleased look.
”I only came this time to take my chances. I didn’t expect Fellow Daoist Yan to really be here as well. It seems that Daoyou has also sensed something amiss lately and wants to finalize the deal between the two of us as soon as possible.” Han Li smiled faintly and similarly transmitted his voice, his person having already walked before the black aura.
”What’s wrong?” The woman in the black aura was silent for a moment, her voice suddenly becoming icy cold now.
”Why do you need to pretend not to know, just take a look at the people of your and my two tribes that have appeared in the hall now, it’s several times more than before, can’t that tell you anything?” Han Li leisurely returned, not caring at all about this woman’s change in tone.
”If you say so, could it be that you’ve heard some news?” The woman asked with a flash of cold light in her eyes.
”I don’t know about anything else, but high-ranking cultivators are frequenting the area, and the foreign scouts that have appeared in the area we’re responsible for are almost five or six times as many as before. How is it on your side?” Han Li calmly asked back.
”It’s about the same! Those old fellows are showing up just as frequently, and there are some new faces in the city. Their cultivation levels are not weak, and they seem to be newly transferred from the Seven Lands.” The woman hesitated for a moment before honestly replying.
”I see, it seems that it’s not our illusion, something is really about to happen. What do you think the chances of the foreign races attacking the city will be?” Han Li surprisingly asked this.
”There’s at least a thirty percent chance. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a shocking change in the city.” The woman returned somberly.
”Thirty percent, that’s already very high.” Han Li exhaled a long breath and muttered as if to himself.
”Not bad. That’s why I plan on not appearing here again after trading with you one last time. If you want to save your life, it would be best for you to quickly try to leave this city as well. Otherwise, once the foreign races really attack the city, an existence of the rank of you and I, nine times out of ten, will have a hard time escaping this calamity.” The woman said indifferently.
”What you say is simple, as a cultivator of this city, which is so easy to leave, besides I still need to …… every year,” Han Li laughed bitterly, said two sentences but suddenly remembered something, the following words rattled to a halt.
”Hehehe, leaving now is indeed greatly difficult. You and I are of two different races, so there’s nothing I can do about it. Fortunately, even if a great war breaks out, there will be at least a few years of time, so you still have time to plan for this matter. Alright, the exchange of news is almost done, so you can start trading things.” The woman laughed lightly before her voice straightened up.
