Chapter 1988- Cutting off the roots
”But will Supreme Lord Qinglong really leave Heavenly Abyss City? Even if he is willing, the Elder Council bunch won’t release him so willingly. After all, a mid Harmonization cultivator is a major battle force for today’s Heaven’s Abyss City.” Ice Phoenix still asked with some worry.
”A major battle force? The guy who failed to even take three strikes from me, do you think the Elder Council really values him much? Moreover, like I said earlier, if it was normal times, the Elder Council might forcefully pressurize me to stop this matter in order to maintain their own dignity, but now that the Demon Army is approaching the city, which is more important, Qinglong or I, to the current Heaven’s Abyss City, these old men can still not be clear about it! Presumably, most likely, they will send someone to persuade them a few times and will also acquiesce.” Han Li smiled faintly and said without thinking.
”What Fellow Daoist Han said is true, and under the current dire circumstances, the Council of Elders will indeed not do anything to offend Brother Han. But Upper Qinglong is going to be extremely resentful of Fellow Daoist thereafter. Brother Han will have to be more careful in the future. Brother Han himself naturally doesn’t need to fear this person, but he still needs to instruct his disciples.” After thinking about it, Ice Phoenix smiled sweetly and reminded a few words.
”There’s no need to be so troublesome. Qinglong won’t have any trouble with me in the future either.” Han Li heard these words, but a trace of strangeness appeared on his face for a long time before he spoke.
”What, does brother Han intend to ……” Ice Phoenix was so intelligent that she naturally heard the meaning of Han Li’s words at once, and was immediately shocked.
”His heart can be very small! Since he has already made a grudge, naturally he can no longer leave this Qinglong Shangren in the world. In this world, there are only a thousand days to be a thief which there are a thousand days to prevent a thief!” Han Li lightly exhaled a breath and said with a cold voice.
”Although brother Han has the heart to cast a thunderbolt, I’m afraid this matter is not a good one. At least in the city, the Elder’s Council will definitely not allow Brother Han to do so. Moreover, even if you succeed, even if you do it even more secretly, the elders will still suspect Brother Han.” Ice Phoenix said hesitantly.
”I won’t do it in the city, and I won’t personally show up, I’ll have others to do it for me.” Han Li sniffed, but laughed lightly.
”Brother Han has other helpers? But thousands must not be careless, although that Qinglong is unbeatable in front of fellow Daoist, but after all, he is a mid-compatibility cultivator, and I’m afraid that it will be difficult for others to kill him.” The Ice Phoenix’s face revealed a look of surprise, but hurriedly said cautiously.
”Fellow Daoist Phoenix don’t worry, since I made this determination, I naturally already calculated that it would be foolproof.” Han Li’s chest was ready to answer back, and then his sleeve shook, a ball of yellow light shot out from it, and after a hover, it transformed into a girl of two or three years of age.
The girl’s skin was white and tender, her eyes were dark and unusual, standing in front of the two, she looked at Han Li without blinking, cute as hell.
”Go! Keep an eye on the Green Dragon Lord for me. If I’m not mistaken, he probably won’t wait until the three-day period expires and will quietly leave this city. You secretly follow him outside the city, find a secluded place, and finish him off.” Han Li actually commanded the girl in this manner.
”That’s easy for you to say. There’s naturally no problem keeping an eye on him, with my current divine abilities, once I’m hidden, even late stage Harmonization cultivators will find it hard to discover, but I’m afraid that I won’t have the strength to kill this person. After all, I have only taken shape not long ago, even if the strength is slightly higher than it, it will not really disparity too far.” That girl’s mouth did not move, but a young girl’s voice suddenly rang out in the hall, sounding only thirteen or fourteen years old.
”Qinglong Shangren has already been injured by me, even if he goes back to immediately take medicine to heal his injuries, he will never be able to recover as normal in just a few days. In addition, I have already moved in his body, once the hands, his ten percent of mana can play out three percent is not bad. It’s definitely more than enough for you to kill him.” Han Li, however, said with a wry smile.
”Oh, if that’s the case, naturally there’s no problem. Just wait for my good news!” The girl’s eyes blinked, revealing a cute smile, and with a flash of golden light on her body, she transformed into a faint shadow and disappeared in place.
”Brother Han, this daoist friend is ……” Ice Phoenix couldn’t help but ask when she saw this.
”It’s my spirit beast that only just transformed into a form not long ago.” Han Li stroked his chin and said.
”Fellow Daoist’s spirit beast! Listening to you, could it be that it has also advanced into a merged form.” Ice Phoenix asked with some horror.
”Well, it does have an early Harmonization cultivation, but it has inherited some of the True Spirit Qilin’s bloodline, so a normal mid-Harmonization cultivator wouldn’t necessarily be its match.” Han Li said frankly.
When Ice Phoenix heard this, the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but twitch for a moment before she smiled bitterly after a long while.
”This is how I know why brother Han doesn’t put the Elder Council in his eyes like this… With the help of this spirit beast, I’m afraid that brother Han is already the real deal as the number one cultivator in Tian Yuan City.”
”First cultivator, I wouldn’t dare to be the first. Fellow Daoist Feng wouldn’t think that Heaven’s Abyss City can guard the human and demon races for hundreds of thousands of years and really only has this strength on the surface. There’s still no telling how many great aptitude cultivators are hidden in the shadows of this city.” Han Li, however, shook his head gravely and said.
”Oh, if brother Han says so, could it be that he’s heard something?” Ice Phoenix asked a rhetorical question with some surprise.
”That’s not true, it’s merely some words of conjecture on my part. Well, we don’t need to speculate much on this, when the demon tribe formally attacks the city, naturally everything will be clear. However, before that, I need to help me first Feng Taoist friends.” Han Li said with a solemn expression.
”A helping hand! Brother Han could it be that he wants to ……” Ice Phoenix was first stunned, but immediately remembered something and her face couldn’t help but have some redness emerge.
”Not bad, in this time out although encountered some dangers, but the same also have some chances, already can impact the late stage of conjunction bottleneck. Now I’m afraid that I need to borrow Fellow Daoist’s Heavenly Phoenix Yuan Yin.” Han Li coughed lightly before slowly saying.
”At first, if it wasn’t for Brother Han’s rescue, my concubine would still not know which person’s spirit beast I’d fallen into, much less be able to recover my mana so quickly, and also advance to the Void Refining Stage realm. It is only natural to help you break through the bottleneck. But I don’t know when brother Han plans to start closed-door cultivation?” The blush on Ice Phoenix’s face quickly faded and asked cautiously.
”If it wasn’t for the fact that I don’t have full certainty about breaking through the late stage bottleneck, I wouldn’t necessarily have to do so originally. In any case, if Mister Han breaks through the late stage this time successfully, fairy definitely takes the credit. As for the time since it’s sooner rather than later, after the Leopard Forest Beast returns, I’ll immediately begin my seclusion.” Han Li said back without thinking.
Hearing this, the Ice Phoenix naturally nodded her head and did not have any comments.
Just like this, after Ice Phoenix and Han Li chatted in the hall for a while longer, the woman got up and excused herself.
Han Li did not say anything to retain her, and after sending her out of the hall, she returned to the cultivation room to meditate and rest.
At the same time, in another small stone tower about a hundred feet high in the hall, the green dragon on the face of a pale sitting on a wooden chair, around the sparse standing a dozen men and women of varying ages of cultivators, everyone’s eyes flashing, seems to cultivate each are not weak look.
Not far from the opposite side of the Qinglong Shangren on another chair, is seated in another twenty-seven or eighty-eight looks like a beautiful woman cultivator, waist tied with a purple flower basket.
It was the other remaining Harmonization Cultivator Lin Luan of Yitian City.
This woman sensed the much weakened aura on Qinglong Shangren’s body and couldn’t help but say with a light sigh, ”Fellow Daoist Qinglong, have you really decided to leave Heavenly Abyss City and defect to the Holy Emperor. You have to know that the four great sects’ supreme elders are now only left with you and I. If you leave again, my concubine will really be alone in this city. I’m afraid that it will not be conducive for our disciples to gain a foothold in Heaven’s Abyss City.”
”This seat also doesn’t want to leave, but under that person’s coercion, it has to be done. That person’s aptitude you also know a thing or two, even if you and I join forces, most likely not an opponent. What’s the use of staying under me!” The corners of the Qinglong Shangren’s mouth twitched, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes as he said.
”Fellow Daoist Green Dragon, if you had known this, why did you have to provoke that Ice Phoenix Fairy in the first place. I’ve always been a little strange, even though this woman has some good looks, it’s not so bad that you would take such a big risk. To my understanding of fellow Daoist Qinglong, you don’t seem to be such a pushy person, could it be that there is some other reason for this?” Lin Luan frowned and said with a slight complaint.
”I do have some difficult words to say, but what’s the use of saying this now. In order to prevent this little thief from decimating the world, I will leave immediately tonight. If I didn’t intend to entrust my disciples to you, Mister Qing originally intended to not inform anyone.” Lord Qing Long said with a bitter smile.
”Our four great sects were originally connected by the same Qi. Even if Fellow Daoist doesn’t say anything, my concubine will help you take good care of the Nine Stars Sect’s disciples. With that person’s status, I don’t think that he would purposely make things difficult for these juniors. However, brother Qing is going to the Holy Imperial City, we do not need to put all the eggs in one basket. Regardless of the fact that in case there’s an accident over there, the other side can still allow our sect to continue its legacy.” Lin Luan pondered for a moment before saying with a nod of his head.
”The reason why I’m doing this also has this part of my thoughts in it. Alright, there’s no time to lose. This seat will leave now. Other than the two disciples, I won’t bring anyone else with me. Listen carefully, in the future, when this seat isn’t in Heavenly Abyss City, everything in the Nine Stars Sect will be at the behest of Senior Lin.” Elder Qinglong was also a decisive and unusual person, and when he said this, he even immediately stood up to give a command to the cadre of disciples under his door.
”We will obey the words of the Elder!” Those dozen disciples heard, under the heart of great austerity, agreed in unison.
The Green Dragon Elder nodded his head, and after rushing at Lin Luan with a clasp of his fists, he took large strides towards the outside of the hall.
Two of the disciples walked out of the crowd without saying a word and followed closely.
Seeing Qinglong Shangren with two disciples disappeared in a flash outside the temple door, Lin Luan this woman slightly shook her head, a trace of pity appeared on her face.
