Chapter 2200 – Turning the other cheek
With Han Li’s strength that had now advanced to the level of a Mahayana, he asked himself that there was almost no trouble that could not be solved in the Human Race, so he had really downplayed the question just now and did not look as if he had taken it to heart in the slightest.
”Brother Han, since you are already sitting here, Gu will naturally make everything clear. Fellow Daoist Du, since Fellow Daoist Han has returned to the city, the old man will give him an explanation of the relevant matters, and you won’t have any opinions, right? After all, this matter involves his disciple’s.” The silver-haired old man coughed lightly and spoke at Han Li and the white-clothed youth respectively with a straight face.
”My disciple?”
”Of course there’s no problem!”
Han Li was stunned at his words.
Du Yu’s mind whirled, but he agreed in a single breath.
”Not bad, this matter does involve Fellow Daoist Han’s disciples. Brother Han, do you have a disciple under your door who is known to be the rumored Hidden Thunder Root?” The silver-haired old man no longer hesitated about anything and asked Han Li’s frankly.
”You guys are talking about Hai Yue Tian under my sect. Not bad, he is indeed a Hidden Thunder Root. However, I have never divulged this matter to outsiders, so how did you all know about it.” Han Li’s complexion moved slightly as he asked a rhetorical question.
”This …… seems to be something that this disciple of Brother Han unintentionally revealed on his own due to drunkenness during a gathering.” Zen Master Jin Yue, who was on the side, before waiting for the old man to answer anything, he lightly coughed and answered first.
”I see. This disciple of mine has always been accustomed to being rough around the edges, it’s not surprising that such a thing would happen. Brother Gu, you may continue.” Han Li sighed and said somewhat helplessly.
The silver-haired old man let out a dry laugh at his words, then forced himself to continue:
”Regarding the singularities of the Hidden Thunderroot cultivators, I think that Fellow Daoist Han should be even more aware of them than we are. And this matter was known by several elders of the Sacred Island, so the other day, they purposely sent an invitation to this city, wanting to ask Brother Han’s son to walk up to the Sacred Island, needing to utilize the power of his Hidden Thunder Root for a moment or two. The specific things involved below, it would not be good for the old man to go into details, so let Fellow Daoist Du Yu continue to explain for a moment or two.”
The silver-haired old man surprisingly only said half of his words and pushed the matter onto the white-clothed youth.
Seeing this, the Silver Light Fairy and the other Tian Yuan City Elders secretly shouted “Wonderful!” in their hearts.
If everything was told by the silver-haired elder, even though the people of the Sacred Island would not be able to say anything on the spot, they were afraid that they would be greatly offended afterwards.
And now will be the back of the right to narrate to Du Yu, even though the final will not change anything, but at last still sold a “good” to the people of the Sacred Island line, so that they are not easy to anger them afterward.
Upon hearing this, Du Yu’s gaze flickered slightly, and he seemed to instantly see through Elder Gu’s intention to sell good, and immediately nodded his head and said: “Since Brother Gu has said so, then the next thing will be explained by me. This disciple of Brother Han’s Hidden Thunder Root is indeed exceptionally important to our entire clan at the moment. Aside from Mo Jianli and Ao Xiao, there is no third Mahayana that exists in our Human-Demon and Demon tribes. And on the contrary, both of the two lords no longer have a long lifespan and simply cannot be the backer of our two clans for many more years.”
Speaking here, the words in Du Yu’s mouth slightly paused.
And the cultivators present couldn’t help but look a little solemn when they heard this.
”And once there is no existence of the Mahayana Stage, the status of the human and demon races in the Spirit World can be imagined. Therefore, the Sacred Island some time ago, in addition to focusing on recovering the losses of the two races due to the demonic calamity, more than anything else, they are still desperately trying to create another Mahayana Stage for the two races. Whether it is the human race or the demon race, as long as there is another Mahayana then, even though our two races still can not be compared to other big races, but the safety of the community in the next tens of thousands of years is guaranteed. So this time, the holy island elders after some discussion, ready to concentrate all the resources at the same time, so that a number of already reached the late stage of conjugation realm of the two races of cultivators, at the same time began to impact the bottleneck of the Mahayana stage. So the conscription of Fellow Daoist Han’s disciples is also a matter of necessity. Mister Du still hopes that Fellow Daoist Han will have the greater good in mind and be able to allow this disciple to walk up to our Sacred Island once.”
Du Yu was clearly well aware that the biggest obstacle to this trip had now turned out to be Han Li, so he didn’t mention the Heavenly Abyss City Elder’s Council and the others in his words in the slightest, acting as if he was wholeheartedly intent on only convincing Han Li.
”So, the Sacred Island sent the three of you, Daoist Du, to come here, but only for the sake of one of Mister Han’s young disciples.” Han Li’s face also sank, his voice somewhat cold as he asked.
Anyone could hear the unhappiness in his heart!
”I can guarantee that your disciple will definitely not have any worries about his life when he arrives at the Sacred Island. And after the matter is accomplished, our Sacred Island will also absolutely spare no expense in giving generous gifts.” Du Yu’s heart was in awe, but his face did not budge at all as he slowly said.
”You can guarantee that there will be no worries for your life! This disciple of mine has not followed me for long, his cultivation level is not that high, if he wants to use the Hidden Thunder Root to help others resist the True Thunder Tribulation of the Mahayana Stage, I’m afraid that his realm will have to be raised by at least a large amount of realms before it can really be of some use. And this kind of forcible stimulation to raise the realm of the means, as far as I know there are at least six or seven kinds of, but the premise of each kind of exercise is to overdraw the potential and longevity as the premise. To raise the entire realm at once, I’m afraid that even if my disciple was lucky enough not to die on the spot, I’m afraid that he won’t be blessed to enjoy those generous gifts from the Sacred Island afterward.” Han Li’s voice sank, and his words became unusually cold. Anyone could hear the sneering intent in his words.
”It’s true that Fellow Daoist Han’s disciple may leave some aftermath behind when he goes this way. However, this matter is related to the future rise and fall of our two clans, one person’s safety and security and the importance of the whole clan, Fellow Daoist Han should be able to distinguish clearly, without us saying anything more.” The yellow-haired, blue-eyed man next to Du Yu finally couldn’t hold back and suddenly said.
”The weight of it, of course I can distinguish it clearly. But I would like to ask if it is true that once this disciple of mine strikes out, he will definitely be able to bring out one more Mahayana cultivator from the Sacred Island. If the three of you dare to swear a heart demonic blood oath to me, what’s the harm in me letting my disciple walk up with you. If you don’t have much certainty, why would you let my disciples make this sacrifice for nothing? Do you think that Han is a good bully?” Han Li no longer had the slightest intention of being polite and said coldly.
Upon hearing Han Li’s words, the faces of Du Yu and the other three Sacred Island Emissaries all turned a bit ugly at once.
As for the Valley Elder and the other Heavenly Abyss City Elders, they looked at each other and fell silent without saying a word.
It seemed that these elders were unwilling to get involved in this matter again, and they all had the intention of protecting themselves.
”Brother Han, Du Mou thinks that as long as we can let the two tribes increase the chance of a Mahayana, the disciples of the Taoist friends are not sacrificed for nothing. Fellow Daoist Han doesn’t really intend to disregard the orders of the Sacred Island and the entire clan, does he? If that’s really the case, the three of us won’t be able to go back and explain to the elders on the island.” The barefoot ugly woman said with a grin, revealing a hint of blackmail in her words.
”What, are you all still planning to threaten me. The three of you left a ‘holy island’, right a ‘community’ unceasingly, will not really because the three of you can really represent our two communities. Although Han mou cultivation time is not too long, but if only rely on these regional flashy words, want to let Han mou will disciple hand over, this is absolutely impossible. Otherwise, how would others and the like view this Master of mine, who can’t even shelter his disciples!” Han Li rolled both eyes and said in a morose tone.
The ugly woman’s face changed drastically, somewhat annoyed, and opened her mouth to say something else, but Han Li waved his hand, directly interrupting the woman’s following words and coldly said, “Han can now understandably tell the three friends of the Dao, unless the Sacred Island has a ten percent certainty that as long as the sacrifice of my disciples can create a Mahayana existence for both of our clans, otherwise I will not let the disciples go along with you. Go.”
”Ten percent certainty. What does Fellow Daoist Han take impacting the Mahayana realm for. If Mahayana cultivators were so easy to appear, Holy Island wouldn’t have painstakingly planned for so many years before letting the few candidate cultivators that were painstakingly cultivated to impact this realm. Brother Han is deliberately making things difficult.” Du Yu’s face had long since become strangely pale, and after letting out a long breath, his tone was also a bit unkind.
”You guys want to sacrifice the disciples under Mister Han for nothing, why don’t you say something about making things difficult. I see that you Du’s magic power is not weak either, this time the candidates for the Holy Island’s impact on the late stage bottleneck, you are also one of them, right?” Han Li’s expression remained unchanged, and with a counter sneer, he rushed the white-clothed youth to ask another question.
”Not bad, Mister Du is indebted to some of the elders on the island for their favor, and is indeed one of the candidates to impact the Mahayana this time around. Could it be that Fellow Daoist Han feels that Du Mou is not worthy?” A trace of coldness flashed in Du Yu’s eyes, and he spoke with a gloomy brow.
”It’s not up to me to say whether I’m worthy or not. But since Fellow Daoist Du spoke so selflessly, is it true that when Mister Han impacts the Mahayana bottleneck, Your Excellency is also willing to hand over all the pills and treasures you have prepared to me, and also allow me to impact the Mahayana Stage with one or two more points of certainty. If you can truly do this, I have nothing to say.” Han Li added with an expressionless face.
”This …… I’m afraid I can’t promise fellow Daoist Han. All of the pills and treasures that Mister Du used to prepare for his bottleneck impacts were all assigned and given by the Holy Island, and I don’t have the authority to make this promise.”
Du Yu clearly hadn’t expected Han Li to make such a remark, and froze for a moment before returning somewhat awkwardly.
”That’s a real pity, since Dao Friend Du also asked himself that he couldn’t do this matter, don’t think that Han sacrificed his disciples to fulfill the others. If the three of you have come to this city with no other business, you may return to the Sacred Island to deliver your orders.” Han Li said with a wave of his hand after a hint of sarcasm rose from the corners of his mouth.
When Du Yu’s trio heard this, their faces became one point more ugly.
”Brother Gu, Grandmaster Jin Yue, you guys have a good friendship with Daoist Han, so come and persuade him as well. If I can’t bring away Fellow Daoist Han’s disciple this time, I won’t be able to return to the Holy Island to deliver my orders. Your city is also not in a good position to explain this matter to the Sacred Island, right?” After Du Yu’s face changed for a while, he suddenly turned his head and rushed the silver-haired old man and the others who had been silent beside him, saying with great meaning.
”This …… matter is not good for us and others to intervene, right? Why don’t you, Fellow Daoist Han and all three of you take another step back?” The silver-haired old man cursed in his heart, but on his face, he hesitated for a while before saying that with a bitter smile.
