Chapter 1984- Three Strikes
”So it’s the master, I haven’t seen you for a few years, is everything alright with the master?” Even though Han Li wanted to strike immediately, but in the face of the monk in front of him, he could only force down the anger in his heart and said with a slight salute.
After all, Zen Master Jin Yue also counts among the elders of Tian Yuan City, and his relationship is considered a good one, can not be a little face not to give.
Qinglong Shangren saw Jin Yue Zen Master arrived, his heart naturally greatly relieved.
Knowing that Han Li’s divine ability was terrifying, he naturally never wanted to really make a move.
He had only just been squeezed by Han Li with his words, and in front of a group of juniors, he had to make a tough stance.
At that moment, he politely and unusually rushed the monk and also said with a clasped fist:
”Jin Yue Taoist friends when arrived, Qing Mou did not go out to meet, I hope that Taoist friends do not take offense.”
”The poor monk received news that Fellow Daoist Han had returned to the city. I immediately moved over after hearing that. Luckily, I came in time and didn’t really cause any major problems. However, while on the way, I notified the other two Daoist friends nearby. Calculating the time, they should also be to the right. At that time, we three together to two friends mediate how? After all, now that the Demon Race is out there, and you two are the top-ranking existences in the city, the poor monk really doesn’t want to cause too much trouble, thus affecting the internal stability of this city. Fellow Daoist Gu, do you think there is some truth in what the poor monk said.” Zen Master Jin Yue smiled faintly at the two of them, and suddenly turned his head and rushed outside the main door to ask a question with deep meaning.
”Fellow Daoist Jin Yue, I really have to thank you. Otherwise, I’m afraid that this Tout Yuan Pavilion under me will really cease to exist.” After a burst of laughter, the fluctuation outside the door together, a gray silhouette without the slightest sign appeared out.
It was actually a black-faced old man wearing a gray robe!
”Fellow Daoist Gu!” Han Li swept his gaze towards the old man, recognizing that it was the owner of the Tout Yuan Pavilion, an early stage Harmonization cultivator, who had had a few encounters.
”Fellow Daoist Han, congratulations on your safe return. Be sure to take a seat at the old man’s place. Tsk tsk, to have managed to escape unharmed from the Demon Sacred Ancestor’s hands, be sure to tell me about it when you turn around.” The gray-robed old man said to Han Li with a smirk.
This old man clearly hadn’t seen Han Li a few times, yet he acted unusually enthusiastic, as if he had been Han Li’s friend for many years.
”Brother Gu exaggerates. It’s only a mere Saint Ancestor avatar, if it were truly the Demon Race Saint Ancestor’s main body descending, how would I be able to escape with my life.” Han Li let out a bitter smile and opened his mouth to explain twice.
”Even if it’s just the Holy Ancestor’s avatar, it’s still a nine to one death scenario for an average Harmonized cultivator such as myself to encounter it. The fact that Brother Han can appear here is itself indicative of the greatness of the divine power.” The gray-robed old man, however, spoke with a continuous shake of his head.
Hearing the other side say so, Han Li couldn’t continue to distinguish anything and smiled slightly without interfacing the matter, instead, he rushed to Zen Master Jin Yue and asked, “Fellow Daoist Jin Yue notified two Dao friends, and now Brother Gu is here, but I don’t know which one is the other Dao friend?”
”Hehe, Fellow Daoist Han don’t worry, the other one is also someone familiar to you.” Zen Master Jin Yue said with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
”Familiar person could it be ……” Han Li’s eyes narrowed at the words, and his mind immediately thought of someone.
This was the only person in the entire Heaven’s Abyss City that he was a bit more familiar with.
Qinglong Shangren coughed dryly, opening his mouth also want to say something, but just at this time, suddenly the door outside the silver light flashed, a silver rainbow shot to the hall in the air after a hover, suddenly appeared a woman wearing a silver robe.
”Brother Han, I haven’t seen you for several years and your cultivation has risen greatly again. This is truly a fortunate thing! After the battle that day, I was also chased by that Demon Clan Venerable, and I encountered some unexpected trouble on the way, and only just returned to the city not long ago.” The woman was none other than the Silverlight Fairy who had gotten separated during the battle at Yitian City, and as soon as she saw Han Li, she immediately said with great joy.
”So it turns out that Fellow Daoist Silverlight has only just returned as well, that’s no wonder.” Han Li was stunned at his words, and a small smile spread out.
”Well, since both of you have also arrived, it’s time for us to sit down together and discuss things properly.” Zen Master Jin Yue said with a Buddhist chant.
”Sit down? With this fellow Daoist Qinglong! If that’s the case, it’s better to forget it. Mister Han has no such interest in wasting more time here.” Han Li heard Zen Master Jin Yue’s words, but his face sank as he said icily.
Shangren Qinglong’s face naturally grew more and more ugly, and his face was slightly twisted.
”Good, good, how dare you insult the old man like that. This seat will fight you even at the risk of damaging my vitality before the next tribulation!” He suddenly shouted in a stern voice.
”If you’re willing to do so, Mister Han is just begging for it.” Hearing this, Han Li didn’t hesitate to interface, his body surface flickering slightly with green light, about to immediately make another move.
”Two fellow Daoists, wait! First listen to the poor monk a word can be good. After this matter, silver light Taoist friends may not be clear, but I and Gu Taoist friends know a little. It is just that this period of demonic attack suddenly intensified, which did not care to mediate this matter in advance. Speaking of which, it’s rather caused Fellow Daoist Ice Phoenix to suffer a bit.” Zen Master Jin Yue hurriedly stopped in between the two of them again and said somewhat apologetically at Ice Phoenix.
”This matter was made by Qinglong alone, what does it have to do with seniors such as the Grandmaster?” Even though Ice Phoenix was also somewhat dissatisfied with the monk and the others in her heart, her face naturally didn’t show it in the slightest, instead, she respectfully said back.
”Words can’t be said like that! Since the poor monk is one of the elders of the Heavenly Abyss City, since things have turned out like this, how can he not be responsible at all? However, Qinglong is now one of the Elders of this city, so I still hope that Brother Han can give a few points! Although the green dragon cultivator did not do the right thing some time ago, but after all, did not really cause harm to the ice phoenix Taoist friends. How about letting Qinglong pay out a sum of spirit stones to Ice Phoenix Fairy to do the gift of shock how. As for the amount of spirit stones, the poor monk guarantees that he will make Fellow Daoist Ice Phoenix absolutely satisfied.” Zen Master Jin Yue shook his head before saying to the Han Li duo with a sincere face.
”Does Master think that Mister Han would lack a little bit of spirit stones?” Han Li said with a frown at his words.
”Fellow Daoist Han naturally won’t lack this amount of spirit stones, but this spirit stone is thought to not be a small complement to Fellow Daoist Ice Phoenix. Of course if you have any other conditions, you can also say so.” Zen Master Jin Yue spoke with great meaning.
”Brother Gu, Fellow Daoist Silverlight, what do you two mean again?” Han Li pondered for a moment and didn’t reply directly, instead asking at the other two.
”Originally, Mister Gu was really unwilling to speak out. However, with the current situation of the Demon Clan, it is indeed not good for us to have things happen internally. I also hope that the two fellow Daoists will be able to abandon their former suspicions.” The old man surnamed Gu snorted and said somewhat vaguely.
Han Li cursed an “old fox” in his heart, and after revealing a noncommittal expression, he swept another glance at the Silverlight Fairy.
”Although my concubine has just returned not long ago, I have heard a bit about this matter. What Fellow Daoist Qinglong did was a bit excessive. But right now, there are not too many Harmonized Cultivators in the city, and each one of them is an important combatant in the resistance against the Demon Clan, so it’s really inappropriate to have a big fight. However, just compensating for some spirit stones is indeed a little less. Fellow Daoist Green Dragon might as well take out some more materials or treasures that Fellow Daoist Ice Phoenix needs. I think that’s about right!” Fairy Silverlight thought for a moment and suggested with a few moments of favoritism towards Han Li.
”Hmph, it seems that the three of you have decided that this matter is my fault!” After Qinglong Shangren’s face changed several times in a row, he couldn’t help but speak with a cold snort.
”Whether or not it is truly the fault of fellow Daoist, I think that fellow Daoist should be very clear about it himself! Could it be that Fellow Daoist Qinglong, still wants us and mortals in general to show you some evidence? But if you really want to find witnesses, it seems that there are a few of them right here.” Zen Master Jin Yue’s face sunk slightly, and after sweeping a glance at the several people from Shin Hong, he calmly and unusually returned.
Shinhong’s group, upon hearing the mention of a few of them, looked at each other in dismay, but did not dare to utter a single word.
”Ice Phoenix, what do you mean!” Han Li pondered in place for a long time before turning his head and rushing Ice Phoenix to ask gruffly.
”Since a few seniors have stepped in, it’s not good for my concubine to say anything more, so I’ll leave everything up to brother Han!” This woman said very sensibly.
”In that case, those spirit stones and treasures from the front aside, I have one more condition. If he agrees, this matter will also be put to rest for now.” Han Li narrowed his eyes in thought for a while before saying slowly.
”What condition, Fellow Daoist Han might as well speak up and listen!” Zen Master Jin Yue naturally pursued the question.
”It’s very simple, spirit stones and treasures only even. Even though Mister Han doesn’t have a lot of money, he’s not that far off. Fellow Daoist Qinglong only needs to be able to receive my three strikes without dodging or avoiding!” Han Li said with a flash of fury on his face.
”What, Brother Han still wants to make a move!” Zen Master Jin Yue was slightly startled!
”Just receiving three attacks from me, that’s not much of a move, is it. It’s not unavoidable for a grandmaster to be called a sparring match.” Han Li spoke indifferently.
”Fellow Daoist Qinglong, what do you think?” Zen Master Jin Yue whispered and the Silverlight Fairy duo discussed a few sentences before turning his head to ask the Green Dragon Lord “Hard to receive your three strikes, whether or not the available treasures.” After a slight hesitation, the Green Dragon Superior cautiously asked.
”You and I cultivators, most of our aptitude lies in our treasures, so naturally we have to use our artifacts. What’s the matter, fellow Daoist and I have about the same cultivation level, do you not have the confidence to connect with Han’s three strikes?” Han Li said coldly, a hint of sarcasm evident in his words.
”Hmph, you don’t have to use the method of provocation. This seat has agreed to this condition.” The Green Dragon Lord’s face clouded over for a moment before he finally agreed with a cold snort.
Just as Han Li had said, as a cultivator of the same rank if he didn’t have the guts to connect three strikes, I’m afraid that he wouldn’t have the face to gain a foothold in Heaven’s Abyss City anymore.
”Very well, since Fellow Daoist Qinglong also has no opinion, let’s find a place to immediately settle this matter. Your Excellency doesn’t want to postpone this matter any further!” Han Li’s eyes flashed with a cold light and he immediately said grimly.
”Since this seat has agreed, it naturally doesn’t matter if it’s earlier or later. You find a place!” Having agreed to Han Li’s conditions, Qinglong Shangren appeared to be extremely honorable and returned without thinking.
