Chapter 1978- Fire Li Sect
”If Lord Ao Xiao really wants this person’s life, and he does come back alive, I can take one shot for Lord. In that case, no one will ever suspect His Excellency’s head.” The masked woman said with a futilely cold voice.
”If he appears, you don’t need to make a move either.” Elder Ao Xiao, however, said without hesitation.
”Why is that, could it be that Miss Linglong knows about this person.” The masked woman seemed to know quite a lot about Silver Moon as well, and asked with some surprise.
”Originally, I have been hiding the news of this person from Linglong. She’s always followed around and doesn’t come into contact with outside things. But some days ago, she suddenly received a transmission from an old friend from the past, and seemed to have inadvertently mentioned the matter of this kid ascending to the Spirit World to become a Harmonized Cultivator. That’s why this time, she must follow the mountain. If the boy surnamed Han has an accident so soon, even if there is no more evidence, Linglong will suspect me, and I am afraid that the knot in my heart will be even more difficult to open. Of course his own death at the hands of the Demon Race is another matter.” Ao Xiao Old Ancestor’s face was cloudy for a while before he slowly said.
”In that case, that would be a bit troublesome. But letting it fall into the hands of the Devil Race doesn’t seem to be something that can’t be accomplished for me.” The masked woman let out a light laugh and said so, with the appearance that she was eager to put Han Li to death.
”If I say no, then no. Now that the great battle with the Demon Race is about to begin, each and every Harmonized Existence is a valuable battle force that absolutely cannot be easily consumed internally. Otherwise, compared to this person, I would prefer to let Tian Kui disappear from this world, and will keep him alive until now.” Old Ancestor Ao Xiao’s face sank as he commanded in an undistinguishable tone.
”Since Your Excellency has said so, I will not intervene in this matter. Otherwise, I’m still greatly interested in this cultivation genius who is known as the Human Race’s once-in-a-hundred-thousand-years cultivation genius.” The masked woman let out a low laugh before she stopped insisting.
”Fang Shadow, how many years have you been my shadow guard?” Elder Ao Xiao suddenly asked such a sentence.
”About 50,000 to 60,000 years! Why did your lordship suddenly ask such a question.” The masked woman was stunned and asked back with some surprise.
”Back then, when I rescued you from the time-space stream, you swore that you would be loyal to me for as long as 100,000 years, and signed a 100,000 year soul contract with me on the spot. Now I intend to transfer the remaining tens of thousands of years to Linglong, what do you think?” Old Ancestor Ao Xiao said solemnly.
”Lord Ao Xiao! Although I signed the soul contract with you because of the grace of saving my life, the main reason is that you are a Mahayana Stage Existence that is strong enough to convince me in terms of strength. Otherwise, I would have only used another method to repay you for saving my life back then.” When the masked woman heard this, her brows furrowed and she became a little displeased.
”What, the only reason for your unwillingness is that Linglong’s cultivation is not enough?” Old Man Ao Xiao said indifferently.
”Not bad. Linglong this girl is the one I grew up watching this from a young age, and I have feelings for it. The other conditions are also even, but her cultivation is really weak, at least if it is a Harmonized Cultivation, I can only consider one or two of them. You should know the rules of our Fang Beast Clan, even I can’t break them easily.” The masked woman sighed, seemingly somewhat helpless as well.
”If you are just because of the strength issue, though you can rest assured. This girl will be able to advance to the Harmonization Stage in less than a hundred years, and even advancing to the Mahayana Existence in the future is not without a chance.” Ao Xiao Old Ancestor smiled up.
”Lord Ao Xiao, what do you mean by that?” The masked woman’s eyes flashed with a strange light and asked in surprise.
”You still don’t know that Linglong has awakened the Seven Star Moon Body. With this talent in her body, do you think that what I said just now was exaggerated? However, in order to prevent accidents, this matter has never been divulged to a third person besides Linglong and I.” Old Ancestor Ao Xiao said solemnly.
”There is actually such a thing. If that’s the case, it’s not impossible for me to make a soul contract with it. However, this will require me to personally verify the words of the lord just now before I can do so.” The masked woman pondered for a while, nodding her head somewhat reluctantly.
”Very well. With you protecting Linglong by her side, until her cultivation is complete, old me won’t have to worry anymore. There’s no time to lose, I’ll arrange everything for you in a few days, and after proving Linglong’s Seven Star Moon Body to you, I’ll transfer the soul contract.” Old Ancestor Ao Xiao said with a relieved expression.
”If my lord has said so, I will naturally cooperate. But Lord Ao Xiao is so anxious, could it be that he has no confidence in the upcoming great battle and is arranging a back way for Lord Linglong.” The masked woman nodded her head and suddenly asked somewhat wryly.
”Hehehe, if old me didn’t have confidence, how could I have personally run this trip. Although I don’t know how the Demon Clan’s side is plotting, but this time, when we join hands with the other several clans of Mahayana, we have a lot of chances of winning. Too specific things, I’m not good to disclose. The current practice is just some necessary precautionary means. Moreover, even without the matter of the Demonic Tribulation, I wouldn’t be able to support the next Thunder Tribulation, so arranging for some backhandedness is also a matter of course.” Old Ancestor Ao Xiao said with a proud smile.
Seeing the long-haired man’s expression like this, the masked woman’s eyes flickered, but she did not say anything else.
At this time, Ao Xiao old ancestor’s tone of voice condensed and then suddenly said: “There is nothing else on my side, you leave first. The island should begin to investigate the devil spies, don’t let people find out your flaws, otherwise in case of misunderstanding, the trouble is not small. At least with the current cover identity, you won’t be able to use it anymore.”
”Yes, my lord. Then the fang shadow will leave first.” The masked woman nodded, and with a twist of her delicate body, she transformed into a shadow at once just like when she came, and disappeared with the space fluctuations faintly coming together.
Ao Xiao old ancestor witnessed this scene, eyes slightly narrowed for a while, finally let out a soft sigh and closed his eyes again.
On the other hand, in a small mountain range more than 100,000 miles away from Heavenly Abyss City, a group of human cultivators dressed in vermillion clothes, quietly hiding on top of a mountain, were looking towards a small, extremely hidden canyon in the distance.
This group of cultivators both male and female, to twenty or thirty years of age, mainly young and strong people, a few of them with gray hair, but also everyone in the eyes of the divine light hidden, mana cultivation is extremely pure look.
But the strange thing is, this group of cultivators regardless of men and women old and young, the face are quite haggard, body more has a kind of dusty atmosphere, seems to have experienced a long distance trek to this place.
”Senior brother Li, are you sure you’re not mistaken, there really is a Tian Yuan City’s teleportation spell formation in that canyon, which will allow us to directly enter the city.” A white-bearded old man with two long swords of green and yellow on his back withdrew his gaze and turned to another old man with a scar on his face right next to him, asking in a grave manner.
”Don’t worry, Master Sect Leader. This teleportation spell formation is a secret teleportation formation that Tian Yuan City uses exclusively for its elders, and very few people know about it. At first, if it wasn’t for the fact that one of the golden guards guarding this formation and I were old acquaintances and had inadvertently talked about it after a drunken night, I wouldn’t have known about it at all.” The old man with the scarred face returned without thinking.
”This is not easy to say. Now that the Demon Race has occupied this place for not too short a time, any more stable and secretive place could be exposed.” The old man, however, shook his head as if he was extremely worried.
”But now that Heavenly Abyss City has been blocked off by the Demon Race, for us to try to directly break through is simply asking for death. There’s only this path that Senior Brother Li mentioned that we can try.” Another old crone with a strangely ugly face couldn’t help but speak up as well.
”What Senior Sister said is true, we indeed have no way back now. If we continue to hide outside, it’s only a matter of time before the Fire Li Sect is exterminated by the Demon Clan, and only by entering the Heavenly Abyss City can we preserve the inheritance of our sect’s lineage. It seems that we can only take a chance.” The sword carrying old man’s face was dark and uncertain for a while before he could only clench his teeth and said.
”Senior brother is clear! I don’t know how many demonic robberies our human race has experienced in the past, the three great imperial cities are not very stable, only the Heavenly Abyss City has no record of being breached, if we can enter it, naturally, our lives can be saved. I will arrange for disciples to go over and check it out.” The scar-faced old man rose with joy at his words.
”There’s no need to send ordinary disciples over. If the Demon Race has truly set up a trap, I’m afraid that ordinary disciples won’t be able to discover it. It’s safer for us to personally make the trip. Even if we do fall into a trap, the ordinary demon race won’t be able to stop us.” The sword carrying old man twirled his chin beard, but said in an unusually firm manner.
”Good, let’s follow senior brother’s advice. Senior Li and I will personally accompany Senior Brother on his journey.” The old crone agreed with a bite under a slight thought.
”No, Senior Sister is the one whose cultivation is second only to mine within the clan, it’s better to sit here with a few other Senior Brothers. In case something happens, there’s no need to wait for us to return, immediately take the disciples and evacuate this place immediately. Senior brother Li, senior brother Yang, you two accompany me over there. One of you knows something about this teleportation spell formation intelligence, and one of you specializes in the way of forbidden spell formations, both of you can be of great use.” The sword carrying old man directly named them without further hesitation.
The scar-faced old man and another old Confucian with a refined face immediately agreed to come forward.
Thus, the old man with the back of the sword instructed the person who stayed behind a few more sentences, and then brought the rest of the two people together with the light, straight to the distant canyon shot away.
The rest of the human race cultivators under a commotion, naturally all face nervous look at the direction of the disappearance of light away.
Including the old man carrying a sword, including the cadre of human cultivators, absolutely can not imagine, in the distance from the mountain is only a few thousand miles away in the void, there is a light green rainbow is also heading straight to the same target sped.
In the recluse, a young man in his twenties, is playing with a black mini mountain, eyes and sweep around from time to time, even a careless look.
And on his shoulder, but lying on a seemingly only three or four years old girl, white and tender, full of baby fat, one hand grasping Han Li shoulder lapel, one hand is grasping an unknown fruit, chewing on a large mouth.
