Chapter 2011 – Unexpected Visitor
Hearing this, the other Harmonized cultivators did not feel surprised, and most of them nodded their heads in agreement.
Thus, the silver-haired old man, assisted by a few Tian Yuan City elders, quickly laid out some tasks, and most of the human and demon tribes present would be dispatched outside the city to continue to besiege the remnants of the Demon Tribe in the area originally controlled by Tian Yuan City.
The other part of the people will stay in Tian Yuan City, and will be responsible for repairing all the destroyed spell formations and all the defense prohibitions as soon as possible.
Of course, the most important thing was to send another person to destroy the “nodes” of the Devil Realm Passage in the nearby area immediately. So that even if the Devil Race sends reinforcements over, they won’t be able to descend in the vicinity of Heavenly Abyss City.
Because these matters were all extremely important, as soon as they were assigned, the people present immediately took their leave and went about their business.
In the blink of an eye, only the silver-haired old man Jin and the old man named “Cui Weng” remained in the hall.
This old man was one of the emissaries sent by the Holy Island, and the silver-haired old man secretly negotiated for a long time in the hall before drifting away.
The silver-haired old man was full of joy after the discussion, as if he had gotten some good news from the old man’s mouth.
Not long after, under the efforts of the many Harmonized cultivators sent by Tian Yuan City, those remnants of the Demon Race that had originally lingered in the vicinity were rounded up and annihilated one more batch.
However, the rest of the Demon Race, led by some Demon Race Venerable Masters, slowly withdrew from Heavenly Abyss City’s territory and threw themselves into several other Demon Race armies in the neighboring territories.
Under these circumstances, the Heavenly Abyss City pursuers naturally didn’t dare to chase and kill any further, but after laying down a large number of guard posts in the border area, they also returned to the city.
Only at this point did the Tian Yuan City battle truly come to an end.
The entire battle, human and demon two tribes finally achieved a great victory, but the defense force was also destroyed more than one-third, and there are even a number of body stage elders also accidentally fell in this battle, as for the refining the virtual stage below the even more dead and wounded countless.
However, the good thing is that finally repelled the demon army, and even killed more than the number of demons, is also considered to have achieved since the devil since the disaster since the first big victory. I believe that this was a decisive boost to the morale of the two races.
Of course, Tian Yuan City’s victory didn’t mean that the two clans had really gained the upper hand in the Devil’s Tribulation, on the contrary, at this time, other regional strongholds were also facing the same situation of being besieged by the Devil’s army.
As for whether or not these strongholds would also be able to save the day, it was something that only heaven knew.
Relative to this matter, Tian Yuan City has already won a great victory, and will be the demon race has been driven out of the control area, at once this land has emerged quite a lot of scattered cultivators and the remnants of the clan family forces, have joined the Tian Yuan City.
Even in the neighboring regions controlled by the demon race, there were many scattered cultivators and small forces willing to take the risk of fleeing to the region of Tian Yuan City.
In this way, the manpower lost in Heavenly Abyss City was easily replenished. It was believed that after some time, even if the demonic army came back, the Heavenly Abyss City side would still have the strength to fight again.
In this way, everything in Heavenly Abyss City was recovering rapidly, and desperately accumulating all the available strength.
Time was like a shuttle, and a year passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the stone tower where Han Li resided but a special guest, Hai Da Shao and Weaponry Spirit Son were shocked at the news and hurriedly welcomed him into the hall on the top floor.
As soon as this person sat down in the hall, he immediately and nonchalantly rushed Weaponry Spirit Zi and asked, “I’ve come this time to seek out your master for something important, so give me a briefing.”
”Reporting back to senior, my master is in seclusion, and has long instructed that he will no longer see guests.” Although Artifact Spirit Son was a little uneasy in his heart, he still honestly returned.
”There’s no harm in it, your master and I had agreed to meet long ago, so feel free to inform. Daoist Han won’t blame you guys.” The man’s expression was cold and didn’t care as he said.
”Since senior has said so, then junior will give it a try!” After a slight hesitation, Artifact Spirit Zi knew that the person in front of him was really different from the average Harmonized Cultivator, so he agreed with a stiff upper lip.
Then he flipped his palm, a sound transmission note flashed out, lowered his head and rushed the note to say a few words, then released it with a flourish.
Stone tower at the bottom of the chamber, since the date of closure will not move on the slightest bit of Han Li, suddenly on the body of a flash of golden light, tightly closed eyes slowly opened.
Only to see his eyes flickering, obviously Yuan Qi has recovered most of the appearance.
One hand grabbed the empty space, “poof” sound, a fire from the void directly cut through the fly out, a flash to its heart.
After Han Li’s divine mind swept toward it, his eyes moved, and he couldn’t help but murmur, “I’d like to know who it is, but it’s him who has arrived. It seems that not going out to meet him is not an option.”
As soon as the words fell, he stood up from the futon, and after a blur, he directly transformed into a green rainbow and disappeared from the secret room door.
A few moments later, the green light at the center of the hall on the top floor of the stone tower converged, and Han Li’s figure appeared straight there.
”Greetings, Master!”
As soon as Artifact Spirit Son and Hai Da Shao saw Han Li, they immediately greeted him with great joy.
”You guys get up. Brother Long, the timing of your arrival this time isn’t quite right, it seems to be much earlier than agreed upon. And coming to Heaven’s Abyss City now, aren’t you afraid that those Demon Clans will take advantage of the opportunity to level the Long Family stronghold?” With a wave of his hand at the two disciples, Han Li turned his head to charge the man he was visiting and said indifferently.
This guest who was looking Han Li up and down, with a pale golden face and an expression of astonishment flashing across his eyes, was clearly none other than the Long Family Ancestor who had made a secret pact with Han Li back then.
”Mister Long dared to stay away from arriving here, and naturally made arrangements long before leaving. Rather, I heard that you advanced to the late stage, and that you also killed a Demon Sacred Ancestor Incarnation and a late-stage Demon Exalt in each of the great battles not too long ago, which I originally didn’t quite believe, but now it seems that it should not be false. After advancing to the late stage, your cultivation has exploded to such an extent. I am ashamed to be inferior. However, if that’s the case, I’m a little more confident in what we agreed upon. As for the time being brought forward a bit, that’s because things have changed a bit.” After the Long Clan’s old ancestor withdrew his gaze, his expression was calm, but it was hard to hide a trace of horror in his eyes as he returned.
”In the previous few years, I had some unique chances, which allowed me to advance to the late stage so quickly, as for the decapitation of that Demon Saint Ancestor’s incarnation is not relying on the strength of Mister Han alone, but Fellow Daoist Gu, they have also contributed quite a bit of effort.” A trace of surprise flashed across Han Li’s face, but he didn’t rush to ask anything, and instead gently explained a couple sentences.
”In any case, being able to kill a Demon Sacred Ancestor avatar is a matter of great honor amongst the Harmonized Cultivators as well. Moreover, you have only just advanced to the late stage realm, and I think that when you cultivate your mana to great completion in the future, your aptitude will go even further. And Mister Long asked himself that he wouldn’t be a match for fellow Daoist right now.” The Long family’s old ancestor said with a sigh.
”Hehehe, Brother Long’s words are too modest. Alright, fellow Daoist give Han a detailed account of what kind of changes that matter has gone wrong.” Han Li let out a light laugh and finally pulled to the point.
”This matter is a long story. If you’re here,……” the Long family’s old ancestor’s gaze flickered as he swept aside Weaponry Spirit Son and Hai Da Shao for a glance, somewhat hesitant for a few moments.
”You guys go out first, and come in to see me when I greet you.” Han Li naturally understood the other party’s intentions in a flash, and immediately turned his head, rushing the Weaponry Spirit Son duo without hesitation.
”Yes, Master!”
The two disciples naturally did not have any opinions and respectfully agreed.
They then wordlessly exited the hall.
With a shake of Han Li’s sleeve, a wave of cyan-colored haze light flew out, but it disappeared again in a flash.
The next moment the nearby void buzzed and rose with layers of white light, obscuring the entire hall at once.
”Alright, now there is no one else here except you and me. Brother Long can speak directly if he has something to say.” Han Li secretly put the spell away and said at the Long Clan’s old ancestor with a faint smile.
”Since Fellow Daoist Han has opened all the prohibitions. I naturally feel relieved. The matter is like this. I’m afraid that the time we originally agreed to enter the Demon Realm will have to be moved up a bit. It’s because old me has received news that our two clans’ counterattack on the Devil Race is just a few years away. And it seems that the three Great Patriarchs of the Devil Realm will be descending on our Spirit Realm together at that time. Whether we win or lose this battle, I’m afraid we won’t have the chance to sneak into the Devil Realm again. In order to obtain those two spirit items, we can only have a chance if we enter the Devil Realm first before then.” The Long Clan’s old ancestor’s complexion was immediately grave.
”The Three Great Patriarchs of the Devil Realm!” Han Li’s face changed when he heard this.
”It seems that Fellow Daoist Han has also heard of the names of the Devil Realm’s Three Primordial Ancestors. These three old devils are the three existences with the most vast aptitude among the primordial ancient devils of the Devil Realm, and are far from being comparable to ordinary Devil Race Saint Ancestors. I’ve heard that there are several foreign race’s Mahayana existences in our Spirit Realm that have fallen at the hands of each of these three.” As soon as the Long Clan’s old ancestor spoke these words, his pupils couldn’t help but shrink slightly.
Han Li’s expression clouded over for a moment, and pondered something with his eyes flickering in place.
The Long Clan’s old ancestor didn’t open his mouth to say anything else either, and only waited quietly for Han Li’s reply.
”As far as I know, the Three Great Patriarchs of the Demon Race never leave the Demon Realm. Those foreign race Mahayanas who perished in his hands back then also seemed to have perished in their hands after breaking into the Demon Realm. Can Brother Long be certain that this information is correct?” It was only after a while that Han Li slowly spoke.
”Why, does Brother Han have some doubts about what I said?” The Long Clan Ancestor was not surprised and asked a rhetorical question.
”It’s not that Han is skeptical of fellow Daoist, but what Brother Long just said is really non-trivial, and I had to be cautious for a few moments.” Han Li returned with an unchanged expression.
”If that’s the case, Fellow Daoist Han can rest assured. This news was obtained by the old man from the Sacred Island. The source of this news, however, came from the mouth of senior Ao Xiao of the Demon Race. With his elder’s words, Fellow Daoist Han thinks there’s a few chances that they’re false.” The Long Clan’s old ancestor stared at Han Li’s face and said word for word.
”Old Ancestor Ao Xiao, his old man went to the Sacred Island?” Han Li’s heart was startled, and he hurriedly asked with a fixed gaze.
