Chapter 1559 – Cold Essence Clan
The two women were naturally overjoyed once they got a good look at the corpse.
Qing Shiao exhaled a long breath and rushed Han Li with a deep salute, saying:
”Thanks to Senior Han’s intervention, otherwise we don’t know how many of our fellow disciples would have fallen this time around in the Fiery Coral Archipelago.”
”Not bad. Even the Silver Shark Dweller is no match for this monster, and once it goes on a killing spree in this sea, it will definitely be a great calamity for us. Thank you, Mr. Han, for displaying your magical abilities to get rid of this demon!” The black-skirted young woman also said more respectfully than before.
”It’s nothing! Although this monster is a bit tricky, my gong method happens to have a few points to restrain it. But this beast doesn’t look like a sea demonic beast, do you guys know where it came from?” Han Li waved his hand and asked gently.
”What this latecomer doesn’t know, this thing also appeared here for the first time. At that time, dozens of Daoists like us were gathering here to discuss how to deal with that sea beast thing. This moth then all of a sudden rushed out from the mist outside the island and flew to the island. Under the defense, many cultivation is not enough Taoist friends immediately by its roar shattered and died. But fortunately, there are silver shark resident out to restrain the beast for a moment, only to let the remaining small half of the people escaped. Otherwise, if it were to roar with all its might, it would not be unusual for all of us to fall here.” Recalling the horror of the strange moth, Qing Shin said with a hint of fear on his face.
Han Li nodded with a furrowed brow, then with a turn of his gaze, he landed back on the group of young men and women who had walked out of the attic, and casually asked, “Were these people originally from this island? It looks as if the physique is somewhat special, but they are not cultivators.”
”Hehe, these are the Cold Essence Clan. This tribe of people although can’t communicate heaven and earth spiritual qi, but all smart abnormal, can mouth spray some cold gas, adult face will always keep as the beginning, only in the end of the life of the moment, will show the old appearance, count a kind of members of the rarer community. The entire Fire Coral Islands is not more than ten thousand people! But because this clan can not produce cultivators, generally are dependent on other powerful groups, or special shelter a powerful upper clan under the door. This group of Cold Essence Clansmen, originally attached to Silver Shark Jushi, as a general attendant.” The black-skirted young woman explained.
”But now that the Silver Shark Dweller is dead, I’m afraid they’ll have to find their way out again.” Qing Shin sighed, seeming to feel quite compassionate towards these Cold Essence Clansmen.
”Oh, this clan is quite peculiar!” This was the first time Han Li had heard of such a strange race, and he couldn’t help but survey these men and women a few more times with great interest.
When those young men and women heard the two women’s words, they just kowtowed and worshipped the three of them without stopping, led by the woman at the head of the group.
”What, do you guys intend to switch to Mr. Han’s sect in order to seek refuge! If that’s the case, Mr. Han might as well take them in. This clan member is the best candidate to be a retainer, no matter if it’s taking care of the cave chores or in tending to the medicinal garden, it’s quite a bit unique.” The black-skirted young woman seemed to have seen something and said sweetly.
”Oh, they know how to cultivate spirit medicines!” Han Li was somewhat surprised to hear this.
”More than knowing. Even the average Upper Clan cultivator’s talent above cultivating spirit medicines is still far inferior to theirs. As for these people who can follow Silver Shark Dweller, they are naturally the best of the best in this clan. If they were put outside, there might be a large number of upper clans competing for them.” Qing Shin also said with a smile.
”Unfortunately, I’ve always been accustomed to traveling alone on my own, and I don’t really like to have people stay by my side. If you two Daoists like it, just accept it on your own.” Han Li shook his head without thinking and said.
”Well, since Senior Han has said so, then the late generation will not be polite. It so happens that the late generation’s cave is really short of some manpower. Sister Qing, how about the two of us split these Cold Essence Clansmen equally?” The black-skirted young woman’s beautiful eyes blinked as she said with a smile at Qing Shin.
”I already have quite a few attendants on my island. Since sister likes them, just take them all.” Qing Xiao appeared unusually generous and returned without thinking.
Once the black-skirted young woman heard this, she stopped being polite and asked those Cold Essence Clansmen if they were willing to go with her.
Since these Cold Essence clansmen had witnessed the original master’s fall, facing the black-skirted young woman’s invitation, they naturally wouldn’t refuse anything, and immediately respectfully agreed. Then under the young woman’s command, they began to clean up that largest ice hall before inviting Han Li’s three people in again.
”Mr. Han, what are your next plans! Still interested in killing that sea beast?” Qing Shin, who was sitting on a stone chair in the hall, opened his mouth to ask.
”Well, since I’m here, I naturally won’t give up easily. Say what you will and take a shot to see.” Han Li sat in the middle of the two women and calmly returned.
When the two Qing Shine women heard this, they looked at each other somewhat in disbelief.
”What, could it be that the two of you feel that Mister Han is unable to do this?” Han Li raised his eyebrows and faintly asked back.
”With senior’s great aptitude for slaying monster moths, how could it be that he wouldn’t have the chance to slay that sea beast. But Mr. Han doesn’t know that the reason we were able to track down that sea beast in the past was mostly due to the Silver Shark Dweller’s silver light. Now that this spirit beast has fallen along with the Silver Shark Dweller, I’m afraid it’s not a simple matter to find that sea beast again.” The black-skirted young woman busily opened her mouth to explain.
”There is such a thing. How did that Silverlight Shark find the sea beast.” Han Li was stunned, but immediately asked after pondering.
”This I heard the Silver Shark Dweller speak of, it seems that that Silver Light Shark was born with a mysterious aptitude for tracking, having seen something once, as long as it is within 10,000 miles, it can sense the presence of it and slowly find it. In the past, we all first went to the vicinity of the sea where the sea beasts were found, and let the silver light shark lead the way before we could find out where the sea beasts were hiding.” Qing Shin interjected with a grave expression.
”In that case, it is indeed a bit troublesome. It seems like I need to go to the sea beast infested places alone and take my chances.” Han Li frowned.
”Since sir is adamant about going in search of this beast, why don’t you wait for another month or so. There should still be some of the fellow travelers who gathered on Blue Lake Island earlier that are still alive, and there are still many who have yet to arrive on this island. If we can mobilize so many people to search together, it would be better than senior alone.” The black-skirted young woman thought about it and said with this suggestion.
”I’m afraid this isn’t much use. I remember that Fellow Daoist Qing said that the sea beast’s aptitude wasn’t weak, so if we search separately, I’m afraid that it would be difficult for a single person to entangle this beast. But if we act together, the hope of finding it is also very slim. And this search, if it is a short period of time is also feasible, but a long time, I’m afraid there will be people with complaints. If that’s the case, it would be better for Mister Han to act on his own! As for the others, it would be best if they are willing. If they’re not willing, Mister Han won’t force them either.” Han Li said with a grin that revealed snow-white teeth.
Hearing Han Li say this, the two women naturally couldn’t say anything else.
”If Mister Han is in the unlikely event that I do manage to recapture the Empty Cloud Crystal, I still hope that the two of you will help me repair the teleportation spell formation.”
”Senior don’t worry. As long as there’s that Empty Cloud Crystal, the matter of repairing the teleportation formation will be wrapped up in Sister Qing and I though.” The black-skirted young woman smiled sweetly up.
Qing Shin similarly promised down.
To this reply from the two women, Han Li naturally nodded with great satisfaction.
The next matter was much simpler, and after Han Li asked the two women for the approximate location of the sea beasts and the two women’s method of contact, he turned into a green rainbow and flew away.
Qing Shin and the black-skirted young woman were both sent out the door of the great hall, and standing on the ground looking at the green-colored recluse light that flickered and disappeared in the air, the two of them began to look differently.
”I still can’t believe until now that Senior Han actually killed that strange moth. One must know that his cultivation looks like it’s only about the same realm as the Silver Shark Dweller, and the Silver Shark Dweller didn’t even last long in front of that monster.” The black-skirted young woman murmured.
”Didn’t Mr. Han say that his divine ability just happened to restrain the Monster Moth, and that’s why he was able to kill this monster.” Qing Shine was silent for a moment before she spoke back with a somewhat strange tone.
”Sister Qing, would you believe all of this excuse? At least, I don’t quite believe it. The Odd Moth, not to mention those bizarre divine abilities, alone has a deep demonic power that is sufficient to be at the ninth rank of the upper clans. This is a gap of more than two orders, which is a sentence of district restraint that can be easily ignored.” The black-skirted young woman said with a wry smile.
”What is sister trying to say instead?” Qing Shin sighed.
”Nothing. Doesn’t Sister Qing not have a dual cultivation partner until now, and this Mr. Han has such great aptitude, isn’t he a very good candidate? If sister doesn’t think it’s suitable, sister I’ll be impolite.” The black-skirted young woman giggled lightly.
”What is sister talking nonsense, I’ve only met Mr. Han twice. How could I have such thoughts.” Qing Shin’s jade-like face instantly flew up in a reddish haze as she said angrily under her breath.
”What’s wrong with that, if I remember correctly, sister Qing has been stuck at the fifth stage realm for quite a few years now. If you can partner with someone with such great aptitude, you should be able to easily break through this bottleneck with the power of dual cultivation. As for being unfamiliar with Mr. Han, what does it matter. As long as he hasn’t left the sea, we can see him a few more times. With my sister’s talent, I don’t believe that this person won’t be moved.” The black-skirted young woman covered her mouth and said with a playful smile.
”Sister don’t talk nonsense. Sooner or later, Mr. Han still has to return to his own continent, and how can he stay here with us for a long time! And maybe he already has a dual-cultivation partner.” The blush on Qing Xiao’s face finally faded, recovering a few moments of composure, she said.
”Oh, that’s a problem. But that sea beast is so cunning, and the infested sea area is so vast, which is so easy to find and kill. As long as he can’t repair the teleportation array, he’ll naturally have to stay in our Fire Coral Archipelago. In that case, what difference does it make if Mr. Han had a dual-cultivation partner or not.” The young woman said as she shook her head repeatedly.
This time, Qing Shin did not say anything at her words, but only glanced once more towards the end of the sky where Han Li had disappeared, an almost imperceptible hint of a light sigh escaping from her mouth.
