Chapter 1990- Aftermath
”Master don’t worry, Qinglong Shangren even had his YuanYing swallowed by me in one bite, there is no one else in the world. Only before he died, he unexpectedly stopped suppressing his toxicity and performed a desperate divine ability, making me also damage some of my vital energy, and had to meditate outside for two days before he quietly mixed back into the city with a group of Sky Abyssal City’s scouts. Other people definitely couldn’t discover me.” The Leopard Forest Beast said with a big grin and a smile.
”Well, you did a good job this time. In this way, I have no worries and can fully concentrate on impacting the late-stage bottleneck.” Han Li also revealed a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth when he heard this and said.
”Hee hee, with master’s cultivation talent, plus having prepared so many backhanders, breaking through the bottleneck this time will definitely be no problem. I’ll first congratulate master in advance for his great advancement in cultivation.” The Leopard Lin Beast blinked its eyes and said with a string of light laughter.
”Let’s hope so. Since you’ve already transformed into a form, there’s no need for you to stay in the Spirit Beast Ring normally, so just cultivate in the secret room next door to me. If there is anything you need, just mention it to Weaponry Spirit Son and the others. I will instruct them to fulfill all your needs.” Han Li said with a solemn expression.
”Many thanks master, I’ve long since stopped wanting to stay in the Spirit Beast Ring. Then I’ll go next door to cultivate first. I’ll come back to guard the law when master begins his seclusion!” The Leopard Lin Beast was overjoyed and immediately spoke the words of farewell.
Han Li naturally did not disagree, and after exhorting a few words, he let it leave.
After a leopard Lin beast figure disappeared, Han Li took a deep breath, one hand grabbed in the air, a summoning talisman appeared, and raised his hand and put it, then closed his eyes and continued to meditate.
After a short while of work, a woman’s voice suddenly sounded outside the chamber: “Brother Han, you’re calling me over now, could it be that you’re going to start impacting the late stage bottleneck in the next few days.”
This voice was pleasant to the ear, but on the contrary, it carried a hint of coldness, and it was precisely the voice of this woman, Ice Phoenix.
”Fellow Daoist Phoenix didn’t guess wrongly, Mister Han does have this intention now.” Han Li’s eyes opened, and he calmly and unusually said back.
A few days later, in a secret room in Heaven’s Abyss City, seven or eight members of Heaven’s Abyss City’s Council of Elders were gathering to discuss something.
Among them, Zen Master Jin Yue, Fairy Silverlight, and the others were among them.
”So, the Green Dragon Elder has really fallen! What a pity, this kind of time can really be a great loss for our two clans.” The silver-haired, white-robed old man sitting at the first place said with a sigh.
”If it wasn’t for the fact that after joining the Elder’s Council, Qinglong left behind an innate soul plate in the secret hall, I wouldn’t have wanted to believe in this matter. According to the cultivator guarding the hall, his soul plate should have shattered away on its own within half a day after he left the city.” Zen Master Jin Yue returned with a bitter smile.
”Hmph, this Qinglong Shangren is really looking for death himself. Knowing that the neighborhood is now filled with people of the Demon Race, he still dared to forcefully teleport away, I don’t think it’s anyone else’s fault, he’s considered to be taking his own life.” Silverlight Fairy said with a cold snort.
”Hehehe, Qinglong didn’t necessarily die in the hands of the Devil Race. Maybe there was someone else who struck! Didn’t I hear the guards of the Teleportation Hall say that there was another person who followed Lord Qinglong and used the teleportation array to leave? Maybe the Green Dragon Lord died at his hands.” Another big man wearing a black leather robe, however, suddenly snorted and said.
”Could it be that you’re doubting Fellow Daoist Han!” When Fairy Silverlight heard this, her face sank slightly.
”Don’t talk nonsense, Silver Fairy, I’ve never said anything like that. I only said that the Green Dragon didn’t necessarily fall into the hands of the Demon Race.” The big man’s face changed slightly, and he flatly denied it in one bite.
Obviously, he was greatly scornful of Han Li and was unwilling to be easily offended.
Silverlight Fairy smiled faintly, but ultimately didn’t say anything.
”Never mind, since Supreme Green Dragon forcibly left Heaven’s Abyss City, it means that he no longer recognizes being a member of our Elder Council. In that case, there is no need for us to pursue this to the end. The most important thing right now is still the matter of the Demon Race’s army besieging the city!” The silver-haired old man said slowly after frowning.
”But the Qinglong Shangren is after all a merged cultivator of the Human Race, and a mid stage cultivator at that, if he fell away so unexplainedly, it wouldn’t be good for us to give an explanation to the cultivators in the city, would it? Besides, will this affect Fairy Lin Luan’s attitude towards this city?” That Tout Yuan Pavilion cultivator surnamed Gu, however, spoke thoughtfully.
”What is there to account for. If we don’t say anything, how would the others know about the fall of Supreme Lord Qinglong. Even if we really intend to get to the bottom of this matter, we’ll have to wait until the end of the Demonic Tribulation. In this situation where our two clans are facing the catastrophe of extinction, everything else has to take a back seat. As for Fellow Daoist Lin, his person is ice-cold smart, I believe he should know the rights and wrongs of it.” The silver-haired old man’s voice went cold and he said in a morose manner.
The few others who hadn’t spoken couldn’t help but look at each other when they heard this, and in the end, most of them nodded as well.
”Very well, since everyone has no other opinions, then it’s time to talk about Fellow Daoist Han Li below. Master Jin Yue, I heard that you sent someone to invite this Fellow Daoist Han to gather for a bit two days ago, but he started to close his doors, can there be something about this.” The silver-haired old man asked Zen Master Jin Yue with a solemn expression.
”Well, yes indeed this matter is not true. Originally, I wanted to do my last bit of work to see if I could persuade Fellow Daoist Han to give up the idea of letting Fellow Daoist Qinglong leave the city. But the disciples under Fellow Daoist Han’s door said that he was closed and would no longer see his guests!” Zen Master Jin Yue said slowly.
”In that case, he anticipated that Grandmaster would go as a lobbyist, and that’s why he deliberately avoided seeing him.” The white-haired old man twirled his beard a bit and said thoughtfully.
”That may be so. A few days before the old man invited Fellow Daoist Han, he had just met those little guys who had once been bribed by the Green Dragon once. I heard that when these little guys came out, each one of them had a pale face, as if they had been heavily knocked out of a large sum of spirit stones and materials by Fellow Daoist Han. I don’t know if they could really scrape together such a large amount.” Zen Master Jin Yue said with a somewhat odd face.
”Hehehe, these guys don’t know the heights of heaven, even getting involved in this kind of thing, it’s only right that they should suffer some pain! I don’t see how it would be possible to let them off the hook so easily if it wasn’t for the fact that Fellow Daoist Han had some concerns about the family division behind them.” The silver-haired old man, however, said with a sneer.
”That’s true. But the fact that Fellow Daoist Han is doing this makes the poor monk greatly relieved as well. Otherwise, if you really refused to give up easily, you wouldn’t be able to say that you’d have to create a lot of trouble again.” Zen Master Jin Yue said with a helpless face.
”Luckily it wasn’t so! If it really came to that, even the old man would have to have quite a big headache.” The silver-haired old man laughed dumbly now.
”Grandmaster, I heard that Qinglong lost to Daoist Han in three strikes. This matter is a bit exaggerated, isn’t it?” The black-robed cultivator couldn’t help but ask.
”This is indeed true! The greatness of Daoist Han’s aptitude is really the only thing the poor monk has ever seen in his life, and I’m afraid that the average late stage Harmonization cultivator would not be able to see his opponent. Witnessed him and the green dragon fight, not only poor monks alone, silver light fairy and Gu Taoist friends were also present. If you don’t believe me, you can go and ask.” Zen Master Jin Yue returned with a straight face.
When the black-robed cultivator heard this reply, he couldn’t help but look at Fairy Silverlight and the old man surnamed Gu.
The Silverlight Fairy coldly did not show any indication, while the old man surnamed Gu nodded his head with a solemn and unusual expression.
The black-robed cultivator couldn’t help but feel a bit appalled in his heart.
In fact, he was not the only one, but several other cultivators who had not had much contact with Han Li were similarly shocked.
”Greater than a late-stage cultivator’s divine ability, aren’t Master’s words a bit excessive. Although that Green Dragon Superior’s reputation is not small, he couldn’t even receive three strikes from a cultivator of the same rank, so he’s most likely just a name in vain. Being able to defeat him doesn’t necessarily mean that the divine ability is necessarily as heaven-defying as it should be.” The black-robed cultivator let out a strong laugh, still finding a plausible reason to come.
”If you, Fellow Daoist, think like that, you’re wrong. That Qinglong Shangren is a half-demon body, and can even directly transform into a half-dragon form, plus a subtle Confucian technique, his strength is absolutely extraordinary. It’s just that the opponent he messed with was really the wrong choice. Han Taoist friend is also law and body dual cultivation, the illusion of the beast incarnation of the Avatar is still far in its half-dragon on the body, which is only after three strikes will be broken all of its Xuan Gong, and hard hit into a serious injury. The poor monk came back to think about it, if it is a different old line to face this kind of opponent, it seems that in addition to fleeing, there is no other way.” Zen Master Jin Yue recited a low Buddha’s name, and said in a grave manner.
”In that case, the original rumor that Daoist Han was being chased by the incarnation of the Demon Saint Ancestor is true. With this kind of strength, being able to escape from the hands of a Holy Ancestor Incarnation is not an uncommon thing.” The silver-haired old man said in a deep voice.
”Whether or not Fellow Daoist Han really escaped with his life from the hands of the Holy Ancestor Incarnation, I don’t know. But several Demon Clan Venerables really lost their lives one after another, that’s something I’ve witnessed with my own eyes.” The Silverlight Fairy also said cautiously.
”Demon Race Saint Ancestor!”
Upon hearing this word that was almost tantamount to a taboo in both the human and demon races, most of the cultivators from both races present changed their faces drastically.
”It seems that Fellow Daoist Han Li is truly divine, and with his help, it seems that our chances of victory against the Demon Race can be increased by half a point. Master Jin Yue, try once more to see if Fellow Daoist Han is willing to join the Elder Council. As long as he is willing to join, all conditions are good.” The silver-haired old man said in an unusually decisive manner after a brief moment of contemplation.
”Alright, if there’s a chance, poor monk will give it a try. But as I see it, this hope is really not great.” Zen Master Jin Yue nodded his head in agreement, but did not look favorably back.
”The old man also knows that this is the case, otherwise when he was first invited, he would have just joined this city. But there’s no harm in giving it a try. Alright, these things will be discussed here, and the following is the beginning of some recent movements of the demon army that the scouts have just gotten. If their intelligence is correct, it is likely that the demonic army will launch a general attack on our Heavenly Abyss City in as soon as a few months, or as short as a year or so.” The silver-haired old man said with a flash of divine light in his eyes and an abrupt change in his aura.
The others listened attentively as their hearts fluttered!
