Chapter 2409 – Setting a Plan
”Since we can be sure that the other party is an Immortal descending into the world, but do you know the purpose of the other party coming to the Spirit Realm? We must know that our interface has long lost contact with the Immortal Realm, and if the other party descended with the body of an Immortal, not only would they have to withstand the force of the interface law suppression, but they would also have to pay an unknown price to be able to do such a thing. To say that the other party just unintentionally fell into this realm, I have a few points of disbelief.” The old man took a deep breath and said.
”This isn’t really clear, and I haven’t gotten similar news from the Helian Merchant Alliance’s side. Aside from those Daoists who have fallen away and the living beings of the various races who have been blood-sacrificed, it seems that no one has been able to contact this Immortal at all, let alone probe the other party’s purpose for descending to the realm.” Han Li shook his head as he said.
”If I were the person in charge of the Merchant Alliance, I would definitely do whatever it takes to find out about this matter.” Mo Jianli stroked his beard and smiled heatedly.
”Brother Mo’s words are extremely reasonable. Good, I will immediately tell Daoist Ming Zun about this suggestion so that he can see if there is a way to be able to do this matter. However, I don’t think the chances are too great.” Han Li nodded and said noncommittally.
”Even if the chances are small, we still have to fight for it. As long as we figure out the purpose of the other party’s descent into the realm, we’ll most likely be able to grasp the other party’s weaknesses, which can be utilized to great effect, whether it’s to fight or negotiate with them.” Mo Jianli said cautiously.
”Aside from this matter, can Brother Mo think of any other useful suggestions?” Han Li asked the old man a follow-up question.
”The old man just heard old brother Han say that two of your acquaintances had made a grudge against this Immortal and were chased by the other party all the way to the Thunderbolt Continent before their whereabouts were unknown. This matter can also be taken seriously.” Mo Jianli thought for a moment before asking again.
”This is what Fellow Daoist Ming Zun himself told me, it’s most likely not wrong. My two old acquaintances are not from the human race, one is my closest friend, and one is still a friend or foe.” Han Li replied with a light laugh.
”In that case, old brother Han had better find a way to get in touch with the two. Although I don’t know how they formed a grudge against this True Immortal, if we can get a hold of their whereabouts, my clan will be able to take some initiative.” Mo Jianli slowly said.
”What Brother Mo means is to use them as bait when necessary?” Han Li’s brows furrowed.
”If that True Immortal really chases after them to find the Wind Elemental Continent, where can the two of them hide! Whether it’s to save their lives or to lure this Immortal somewhere, I’m afraid the two of them would have to be the bait. That Mingzun daoist friend of the Helian Merchant Alliance, most likely also has this idea, that’s why he explicitly told you about this matter.” Mo Jianli said with a cold smile.
”Well, bait words, as if the two of them have already done it once in the Blood Heaven, whether or not it’s okay to make it is not certain, this matter will be discussed in detail at that time. However, if they really come to our Human Race to ask for shelter, no matter if it’s reasonable or not, the two of them will voluntarily cooperate with our actions. But it’s not easy to contact them now, so when I return, I’ll instruct my disciples to do so.” Han Li pondered for a while before nodding his head and saying.
”If these two Daoists are willing to cooperate with the operation, naturally that would be the best thing. As for the question of whether or not that True Immortal took the bait, Old Brother Han doesn’t have to worry about that either. The other party dared to be so bold as to do a blood sacrifice of hundreds of millions of living beings, so their level of recklessness can be imagined. Or rather, they simply don’t put us lower realm cultivators in their eyes, and even if they know it’s a trap, the other party will step into it without a care in the world. I hope that this true immortal purpose of this trip do not have to set foot on the wind yuan continent, otherwise even if you join forces to win, most likely will make the continent a bloody storm, the various tribes do not know how much price to pay. The other party is after all a genuine Immortal!” Mo Jianli said with a bitter smile.
”With this True Immortal’s unfathomable aptitude, such things as schemes are indeed of little use, let’s hope it won’t really develop to that point.” After a moment of silence, Han Li also sighed in agreement.
”Well, Elder Brother Han did not do anything wrong by and large by joining the matter of joining forces. Otherwise, it would never be possible to deal with this True Immortal with the power of any clan in the Wind Element Continent alone. It’s a pity that my strength is average amongst the Mahayana, so I can’t be of much help. But you can rest assured, go back to the first, feel free to cultivate as much as possible to enhance the strength of a trace, during this period of time all things in the clan are handed over to the old man to do. I will use the time as soon as possible, so that those densely populated city, the temporary first evacuation of the matter, so that the majority of people limited to some remote places to hide under. In this way, even if it really affects our human race, we can minimize the losses. In addition, I will rearrange some powerful prohibitions in these large cities to prevent that eventuality.” Mo Jianli first revealed a bit of shame, and then said with a straight face.
”Brother Mo is indeed an old man’s words, everything will be done according to what you said first. I won’t stay here much longer either, and will return to Qing Yuan Palace tomorrow.” After Han Li pondered for a moment, he also said with glad approval.
Thus, the two of them talked in the hall for a full half hour before Mo Jianli finally got up to take his leave.
Han Li brought along Nangong Wan to send this human Mahayana to the deck, witnessing him turn into a white rainbow once again as he broke through the air and went away.
”Husband, do you really want to go into seclusion again when you return?” Nangong Wan waited until the white rainbow disappeared without a trace in the sky, and finally couldn’t help but turn her head toward Han Li and ask.
”Indeed there is such an intention. I’ve obtained several subtle secret arts this time, and although it’s unlikely that I’ll be able to comprehend them all in a short period of time, if I can comprehend one more point, I might be able to put them to good use at that time.” Han Li touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
”Well, this kind of thinking is right, husband. It’s just that my concubine really didn’t expect that this side had just returned to the clan, and that the entire human race would immediately be faced with this kind of catastrophe, and it really isn’t an easy thing for me and other cultivators to go all the way.” After Nangong Wan’s eyes flickered for a while, there were a few moments of melancholy on her jade face.
”Wan’er, you’re thinking too much. We cultivators originally acted against the heavens, and having all sorts of trials and tribulations is a normal thing, as long as we break through the thorns and come out is all. Hehehe, what’s the point of fighting with people, it’s only fun to fight with the sky.” After hearing this, Han Li laughed out loud, and after shaking his sleeves again, he turned back towards the cabin.
Nangong Wan saw Han Li in this manner, was first stunned, but immediately remembered what, the corners of her mouth slowly spread a smile, and her footsteps were also a little lighter as she followed over.
On the second day, originally suspended in the sky above Tian Yuan City’s black giant boat after a tremor, immediately issued a roar and broke the air.
……
Two months later, in the Endless Sea, Yuan He Island, in front of Qing Yuan Palace, the black giant boat slowly fell down.
Below the huge square, shouts shook the sky!
Tens of thousands of cultivators from both the human and demon races all bowed down on the green stone ground to welcome the return of Han Li’s ancestor.
The silhouettes on the huge black boat shifted, and Han Li and Nangong Wan walked down side by side, followed by Flower Stone Ancestor Zhu Guo’er and a host of others.
”Welcome back Old Ancestor!”
The greetings of more than ten thousand people boomed incessantly over the entire plaza, everyone wearing a respectful expression.
Han Li nodded, without saying anything, striding towards the gate of Qing Yuan Palace, beside which Nangong Wan couldn’t see any color on her face, but her heart was astonished.
Previously, although she had heard Han Li talk about the fact that he had already established a foundation in the human race, she had never thought that there would be such a huge scale and so many disciples.
After all, she felt that her husband had only achieved Mahayana not long ago, and even with the full support of the clan, everything should have just begun.
In front of the Qing Yuan Palace, Hai Da Shao, the personal disciple, stood respectfully with his hands tied, and as soon as he saw Han Li approach, he immediately stepped forward and bowed in greeting, “Apprentice pays his respects to the master, and congratulates the master on his return to the palace.”
”Well, this is your master’s wife, Nangong Wan, come pay your respects as well.” Han Li first nodded his head with an expressionless face, then used his finger to point at the white-clothed maiden next to him and said.
”Yue Tian pays his respects to his Senior Maiden, Master has finally welcomed back the Senior Maiden Lord.” Hai Da Shao was first startled, but immediately rejoiced as he rushed Nangong Wan with a big salute.
”Get up. You’re Gu Yue Tian, I’ve heard your master say that a long time ago, and you really do look like a talented person.” Nangong Wan looked Gu Yue Tian up and down a few times and said with a light smile.
”Many thanks for the praise from your master!” Hai Da Shao was overjoyed at his words.
”Hmph, he’s just a skin that looks good for a few points, if he normally cultivates with three points of effort from the Weapon Spirit Son, his cultivation wouldn’t be this low.” Han Li, however, said with a stern face.
”Disciple’s usual cultivation has already done his best, but how can I compare it to that practicing maniac, Eldest Senior Brother.” Upon hearing this, Hai Da Shao was busy putting a smile on his face, but still muttered a couple sentences in a low, inaudible voice.
Seeing this, Nangong Wan couldn’t help but smile sweetly.
Although Han Li also heard it, he didn’t bother to pay attention to anything, glaring at the subordinate, he led the others into the gate.
At this time on the square of the crowd of disciples, only in some people led to get up, neatly abnormal exit the square.
However, they naturally had a good deal of discussion about the fact that the Qing Yuan Palace had an additional mistress.
When Han Li took his seat on the main seat in the Qing Yuan Palace’s main hall, he had the cadre of Small Spirit Sky cultivators all brought down to make some arrangements, before charging Hai Da Shao to faintly ask, “Where’s your Yin Yue teacher’s aunt, and why haven’t you seen her appear?”
”Reporting back to Master, Silvermoon Senior Aunt from Master went out not long after, began closed door cultivation, now should be cultivated to a critical time, only to be unable to immediately come out to see Master.” Hai Da Shao stole a glance at Nangong Wan, who was seated next to Han Li, before returning with a somewhat strange expression.
”Oh, it’s such a shame that Sister Silvermoon is still in seclusion. I still wanted to get together with her and chat a bit more about the many things that happened in the Human Realm back then. But since sister is still in the palace, there will always be a time to see her again, so there’s no need to rush. Yue Tian, as soon as your Silver Moon Master Aunt is out of the gate, you have to inform me immediately.” Nangong Wan said with a faint smile and commanded.
”Yes, Senior Aunt. Disciple takes note!” Hai Da Shao secretly spat out his tongue for a moment, but on his face, he replied in a serious manner, but a pair of eyeballs that dripped and twirled incessantly directly exposed a few points of what was in his heart.
Seeing this situation, Han Li was both angry and amused, rolling his eyes at him, and waving his hand to let him retreat.
